It is Nigerians who have been doing this. They use pictures of women from all sort of nationalities to con people. Usually, United States men fall prey to Nigerian con men.They did that to Chris Hansen of MSNBC when he was doing investigation work of these Nigerian Con Men. Nigerians have been doing this for long time.

A woman called Ebuey picture has been on internet for this con job by Nigerians. They claim Ebuey is from a rich family from South Africa. Nigerians use Filipinos beautiful women for this con job.

At times, I agree with ROMANO, who posts on ghanaweb.com that the biggest mistake God made was to create Nigerians. They are reaaly evil and bad. This is a true signature of Nigerian con men.

That is Nigerian Con men usual response. That, Ghanaians also do the same. If Ghanaians are doing it, it is you Nigerians who are training bad Ghanaians. Nigerians started doing these 'con job' long before these Nigerians mass migration to Ghana in early nineties. It was when Nigerians came to Ghana that bad Ghanaians who befriended these Nigerians started copying evil Nigerians way of life like armed robbery, Con jobs, Sakawa etc. Change your behavior. Other than that, very soon no country will allow Nigerians in their country.

Here is the scam. Fati's grammar is very poor, but her spelling is good. That tells you, it is a very disguised smart artist on the game. he plays well into the American mindset - that "she" is a not too educated, non English speaking African girl. Poor Alton, you are not too smart to outwit this silly African girl. The Europeans have already learned. Americans are still learning.

The con jobs are done by Nigerian evil men. They con innocent people and laugh at it. Your day of reckoning will come. Crime and evil deeds do not pay. Nigerian 'con and burgie' men must be reminded.

He wanted to slip a poor girl out of Ghana with her family knowing. There are thousands of Ghanaian girls living in slavery around the world because they followed money just like this case. We have a culture and we don't marry without see a family head. I hope he learns this lesson.

I think the police can track this fellow to Tamale. I was there and I saw boys as young as 12 doing Sakawa business. The Sakawa guys usually buy Corolla X cars, the small timers buy Mapukas, the girls buy Mapukas. Some Tamale Poly girls are also Sakawas, one tried to swindle me but was easily tracked down by me.
The Police in town know about this but do not have the computer know-how to corner them. THEY are all over Tamale.

If the scam artist have been sending emails to him there is a way he can detect the i.p address of the fraudster and trace it.

Unless the fraudster was cleaver therefore decided to use socks to change his original ip which i doubt the fraudster would be that intelligent to apply because judging from the chat they had, the fraudster isn't that cleaver in internet fraud.

The white man could have easily paid 6000 dollars if the right format was being used and anyway 3000 isn't bad at all.

Now Fraudsters have contract with WESTERN UNION agent here in Ghana so you don't have to use your real i.d in collecting money.

You can collect money without id card.All you need to know is how to pull few strings here and there.

The man is crying over just 3000 dollars very funny.There are real Ghanaian ladies online looking for whites to marry but this whites will never look at them because they prefer beautiful women to worm their bed.

I am not saying looking for beautiful African women is bad but the kind of beauty that those whites online are searching could only be found in model or movie stars.

That is why the scammers use movie stars or model picture to lieu this white and spend their money,

"oyibo dey cry becos of 3000 dollars" Kwasia next time he will look for someone somehow real not picture of model
