Just want to warn all the women looking for their soul-mates online.
Beware! This is the true story.....Someone with a neat profile God fearing, don't smoke, don't drink and picture of an officer in US Army now deployed in Iraq for peace-keeping mission. The usual stuffs like divorced for 10 years, one teenage daughter living in New York and he owns a 5 bedroom house in Virginia and it will be a perfect family etc
So he fell madly in love and non-stop professing that it was God's will for this match made in Heaven.On 1st chat he asked to install a web-cam. The chatting went on for a week then came this big news that he receive an award from the Iraqi Govt. for turning in the cash found. Next he was sending someone with a suitcase of US$1.6 million and want you to keep it for him till he gets out of Iraq.
Next comes the exciting part....His man was sent by him on a mission to bring this suitcase to you locked and only you have the code to open it. He asked for home address and telephone number etc Passport of this courier was scanned over, with pic and details.
Next come a desperate call from this courier stuck in Accra airport and need money to be paid to customs before allowing him to take the next connecting flight.He paid with whatever cash he had (US$1000) and balance of $700 must be wired via Western Union urgently.
I did a check and found out that the two men-the one in the profile & the courier were in the same computer locations when one was supposed to be in Iraq, the courier in Ghana. The courier was cornered into making up a British Airways locator number for his travel itinenary which turned out to be false too.
Desperate phone calls 3-4 times a day urging for the money to be sent so he can take the next flight.Of course he did not receive one cent from Western Union.
Beware! This is another one of those famous African Scams! These freaking men from Ghana think that all women have pig brains or what?
But I do believe that this is a big syndicate based in Accra, Ghana and they employed these jokers to trap those women who have no experience. Though their command of English is atrocious, for people of such low calibre they did put up quite a good play!
