Is this a scam?
| Posted: Friday, September 02, 2005
My name is Keith LaFreniere and I live in Phoenix Arizona (US) and I thought you may be able to help and also may be interested in this story. There is a woman there in Accra who is running an internet scam.
She is on Match.com - a popular internet dating site here in the US, (her picture is of a pretty blonde 29 yrs old) and she is sending older men such as myself emails saying she is interested in you, then very quickly falls madly in love with you, and then of course says she has malaria and needs $500 to get the medicine she needs.
It is very obvious throughout her emails she is not legit and I played along just to see what her scam was.
And although it was easy for me to pick up on, there probably are a lot of men getting taken for a lot of money. I would also like to get this to the local police, but the police web site for Accra did not leave a way to contact them.
I could forward all the emails to you if you are interested in the story, but would love to also get the police involved to make sure she doesn't keep taking people's money. Thank you for you help. Sincerely Keith LaFreniere
