Hi kcbrown, welcome to SW.

It will be next to impossible to find out how many scammers are using the same picture, the most common place they steal the pictures from is Models Hawaii, for some reason, although they do use other sources as well.

Face book is another website they take pictures and identities from too.

In reality, your "lady" is most likely a 20 year old Nigerian/Ghanian guy sitting in an internet cafe sending out scripts like the one you obviously received. It is not likely that reporting him to the authorities in your country will result in any arrests due to the lack of law enforcement for these crimes in West Africa.

In future, just delete and ignore any correspondence like this

Hi KCbrown, if you could copy "her" emails into here, with "her" email address, then tell the other guy to check back into here, I am sure we can sort it out.

Thanks

John
