We've told you in other threads. You will have to visit her in Ghana to find out if she is real.

How much money have you sent to her so far?

christies · Mar 13, 2012, 10:18 AM

Only a few hundred ,on separate occasions ,because she is out of work ?and living with family

Is there some reason you can't travel to Ghana and meet her?

Have you ever mentioned that to her? If so what did she say?

Try telling her that you're short on making your internet service provider payment, and if you don't pay it within three days, they will cut you off.

Ask her if she can loan you the $100.00 to cover the bill.

For one ,I don't have that kind of money ,to spend going over there ,and when we did talk about it a while ago ,she did say ,it's a awfull country ,as nobody will help anyone that needs any kind of help ,and she did mention ,she wouldn't ,wish her worsed enemy to go there ,but she just wants to get out .its a completely different kind of life style ,she is finding it very hard proveing she is genuine ,because every body there is treated as being on the scam ?

The only way to find out the truth is to meet in person. If you don't have any means to see each other in person yet, then there's nothing to think about. The best you can do is to keep in touch and to get getting to know each other better.

You've already sent her money that could have been used to travel there. I would think she would provide food and a bed for you while you visit. Have you checked into travel costs?

According to Wikipedia, "Ghana remains one of the more economically sound countries in all of Africa" (probably because its citizens are getting rich from scamming).
