Well it seems in Ghana people are getting jobs, joining sites like this and asking for money, I have not received one of these messages for quite some time. And today i got 5, so get ready to start blocking again until they are gone. Unless of course you believe them and send them all your money, then I say, keep your money in this country and send it to me, i will send you my paypal account for deposits

Hiring? In Ghana?

I've thought that would be a good job..... advisor to scammers. Of course, one of the best ways to recognize those bad boys is their TOTAL lack of knowledge of the USA culture. THE best way is their poor grammar and spelling. I wonder what they'd pay for such advice? Maybe a cut?

Oh.... and then there's the ScamBaiters that draw the scammers into convoluted stories to keep said scammers busy so that they have less time to "get" other victims. I could help the scammers know the signs of when they are being baited. I think most scammers don't even know there are such sites like http://www.thescambaiter.com/ -OR- http://www.419eater.com/index.php

Ghana? WOW! I thought my market was limited to Nigeria.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ TOTAL SARCASM ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

Greetings....

I have sent a few of them offers to write their profiles into something that wouldn't scream clueless scammer the moment it showed up. Of course I wanted a fee for my efforts. I even offered to find pictures, locations and physical measurements for them that would be believable. <sighs> So far no takers.

Be well....

But, but.... do you think they knew what your offer was? I mean "physical measurements for them that would be believable" is pretty convoluted. If you typed "believable physical measurements," I bet you lost them. LOL!

After all the warnings that are posted here, if someone gets taken, they freakin DESERVE it. It's called evolution in action.

yep, and they are even flexible in their offers....I had two of them two days ago both of them offering me a flat to rent with same price and same condition (though different locations).

and what a surprise, they demanded to use money graham or western union for money transfer and to transfer tha sum of rent or deposit on a friends account so that I am able to PROOF to them that I can afford to pay the rent (once we would meet I would have to bring that friend along who then would withdraw that money for that scammer)....yeah right

How strange that my estate agent never taught me that procedure...

However, I reported them to that homepage provider as it is offered and am now going to view a flat next week via another estate agent....somehow, right now I don't mind to pay the estate agent fee when it means the reassurance not to be conned at the end
