Why couldn't they. I can spoof my email and include a picture of anybody I want and say it's me. Anybody can say they are somebody else and unless you know them you don't know any better!

What is your question?

It is from Ghana, scam of some sort,

Very pretty lady, how much money does she want you to send her.

And of course you know this lady is not really in Ghana, they merely found her on the internet , copied her photo and are using it.

I have merged your posts,

And yes, most if not all scammers always use the photos of other people, those 24 year old models will normally be a 50 or 60 year old grandma or even a man who is merely typing form a script they are given, There are normally a room full of people who work for a company that does nothing but scams

If you Google the companies on her lanyard it will show you that CCBill, Cave Creek and DRM netowrks are hosting companies. :D. Hosting what? Hmm... I wonder

OK if the email did not come from a trusted source or if it was unsolicited it is a scam. Also if it comes from a friends account and ask for money it is usually a scam. If it is a friend do not contact them through email because if their email is hacked the bad guys will still have control of it so of course they will say "yea it is me and I need money I am... and this... happened.

Don't expect her to tell you where she lives. I wouldn't expect anybody to tell a person online where they live!

You've actually spent Eighteen THOUSAND dollars on people you have never met?

OMG, I almost choked when I read that! I had to read it twice. The second time with my glasses on!

Are you nucking FUTZ!?

Look, my 17 year old could really use a car and I don't have the money, my husband lost his job and I'm working like mad just to put food in our mouths and not lose our home. I only need about $5,000.

Seriously though, you really think these people are going to come meet you? It's not going to happen. It's a scam and your $18,000 has disappeared into thin air.

She says its her in the photos, I'd be pissed if someone was using my picture to scam people out of money...

interestedin · Dec 26, 2010, 09:16 PM

I'm not worried about the money, I have money ,I just don't like liars an if you want a car ,tell your old man to go to work...

ITstudent2006 · Dec 26, 2010, 09:19 PM

It was a joke!

An official document with more spelling errors than a 3rd grader would make, and you have to ask if it's a scam? Come on, they spelled subject: sunbject, not to mention many other errors.

It's fake. She's fake.

Keep talking to her, tell her you're broke and can't send any money. Watch how quickly she disappears.

I did ,it seems to be some kind of company, that porno checks among other things... writes..

J9 was joking. It's not her in the pictures. It was a joke.

The scam however isn't a joke, and it happens all the time. I'd bet a lot of money that the picture that was sent to you isn't the picture of the girl you're talking to. Heck, you may not even be talking to a girl.

I'm shocked that you would fall for this twice. Didn't you learn the first time? Remember what happened the first time? The girl disappeared. This one will do the same as soon as she soaks you for all the money she can. Once you stop paying, she'll move on to her next victim.

Do you have a webcam? As her to do a web chat. I think it would be very enlightening.
