I found Paul's name while skimming through the posts. I have been in touch with Paul for over 1 1/2 mos. He is very literate at first when chatting, but then uses broken english later in his chats. He is also a charmer. He currently is supposed to be in Ghana purchasing gold. While in Ghana he took travelers checks to the bank there and the bank would not cash them immediately. There was a hold for 2 wks placed on the checks. Well due to some expenses Paul had he needed $700 and of course would pay me back in 2 weeks. I do not have extra money to send and told him that I really wished he hadn't asked for money, that he was trying to scam me and this would be the last he would talk to me. I haven't heard from him as of this date. He has not demanded or threatened me. But he is either spanish speaking or another language speaking.

Welcome here bferguson.

In both your posts you discribe a classical romance scam. Could you also post some of the early emails that these scammers have send to you please? Then other potential victims can find them and recognise the scam.

Being a victim doesn't mean you stand alone. We're here to help you.
