NEVER SEND MONEY TO ANYBODY YOU NEVER MET IN PERSON
NO woman with good intentions (and of course NO REAL MAN!!!!) will ever ask you for money over the Internet.
There are twists to the story. Sometimes, their employer pays them with a check that they cannot cash in Africa (fake checks scam). They will send you the check, ask to cash for them and send them money WU. They will even allow you to keep some percentage of it. The check is FAKE. It will bounce few weeks later and you will have to return all money back to the bank. You might even be held liable for cashing fake checks and considered a fraudster yourself by your local authorities. Go prove than you didn’t know it was fake!!
Another twist: they bought something online, but a seller wont ship to Africa. They will give a seller your shipping address and ask to re-ship it to them (re-shipping scam). Whatever they bought, was purchased with a stolen credit card, soon the seller will find out, and police will be after YOU, as your address is listed as a receiver.
Or, they pretend to be in the military, and either want you to pay so they can go on a leave and meet with you (bunch of crock! it doesn’t work like that in the real army), or want to buy some special satellite phones to be able to talk to you (another nonsense, the civilians don’t pay for the army satellite phones!).
Yet another twist with some military scams: they are in Iraq or Afghanistan, and need your help in smuggling in the country gold, money, Saddam’s treasures, etc.. (trunk box scam). But to receive the treasures you will have to pay fee to customs, lawyers or any other fee associated with it. There is NO treasures and gold, just you, your wallet and a scammer.
Whatever you are involved in with Nigeria or Ghana, is always scam and fraud. Whenever West Africa is mentioned, you have to drop correspondence immediately.
They are becoming slick, though. They know people don’t trust Nigeria and Ghana anymore, so they pretend to be from any other country in the world, or that they are in the US military, and ask to send money not to Africa, but to other countries: to their accomplices and mules.
They become even more slick, and use satellites, cell-phones and proxies to hide their real IPs. They use phone numbers with the US area-codes, but in reality it is a redirect to Africa. The UK phone numbers starting with +4470 are ALWAYS a redirect. Those are not real UK numbers.
