    Ghanna scammers
    I have been reading all these scams coming out of Ghana. I have been talking with a woman from ghana she is pretty and everything she says has been true. I didn't believe het so I asked het to send me a picture with her holding a sign with my name on it. She did and I couldn't find anywhere were it looked fake
    She even sent ma copy of her visa.. iy looked reall also. I sent a copy to the us embassy in accra Ghana to verify it.vi haven't heard back yet but she's working on her passport rigjt now. I thought you needed a passport before getting a visa she says no. she is very convincing to me. I've had het send me pictures with her making faces the way I ask het to. She even gets pissed when wr have arguments. I have talked to her on the phone. What should I do. I guess just wait for the embassy to reply.. they have a special email address I found for visa verification

    Enjoy yourself until she makes demands for cash..
    There are some genuine cases around, but they are very thin on the ground.

    Did she give you the email address to make your request? Or how did you find it, and what did you use?

    Why do you think you are different than the other thousands of poor saps who thought they had "girlfriends" in Ghana and found out they got scammed?

    Do not send cash, bank info, money grams, etc. Do not accept or cash anything she may say she will send for you to cash.

    You can not get a visa without a valid passport. A visa is a page inside the passport.
    So that alone shows fraud,

    Next a passport is not hard to get, she could get it within a few week at the longest. Within a week at the rush.

    But yes of course she can be a real person, most of these are large companies that employ dozens of people. They have several pretty girls that are used in videos, and photos. But the ones chatting are often men, grand mothers and more.

The power does not work have the time. She wants one of two things from you. Money to support her family the whole family.. Or she a way out of Ghana.. Which take a act of God.. You would have to travel there several time. Meet her and family, the whole process takes 3 to 4 years. In the mean time you stuck.

    I bet you 100.00 she find a 1000 reason not to or only gives you a few seconds
    But the next step is to make you feel sorry for her family, sick father mother , sister, bother,
    Or she has a something for you to help her to get out the county and needs money for the
