This scammer much prefers to do his scamming using chat, chat can speed up the scam a great deal and it helps the scammer to gauge the right time to start asking for money from his victim.

Scammers like to maintian control of the chat asking a lot of questions of their victim but hardly answering any questions themselves.

Some scammers have access to girls who can take your phone calls but in this case the scammer will be very reluctant to talk to you on the phone, the 2 main reasons for this is are that the scammer is a man, an African man at that and his voice will be a sure give away.

If you were to enquire about talking on the phone the scammer will make an excuse as to why not, most commonly that the phone is broken and or she doesn't have a phone, this will be another excuse to receive money from their victim at a later date when the scammer may pay a girl to take a call from you.

During Chats, scammers will have large pauses in their chats where they are writing to another victim.

They may come back from a break of several minutes, tell you they love you or "luv u babe" and then dissappear for several more minutes.

Often during these chats they will post pre saved stolen poetry or saved scripts, you can see where these are inserted by several indicators, a sudden increase in typing speed and accuracy as they post large sections of script that has much better grammar than they may normally show.

It is also possible to search on these scripted sections to find them posted elsewhere, this is something that can be very usefull to check.

I am hoping to gather a lot more information on this scammer as he is now writing to me looking for love as well as no doubt, several other victims.

Hello thank you so much for taking your time writing to me back am glad to hear from you.Anyway what is your name and what kind of bussiness do you do how did you get my contact?can you please remember me yourself when will you take pictures and send to me i will like to see who am talking too.Am single lady with no children haven't been in relationship before.what kind of relationship are you looking for do you live in your own house or rented??well ask me what you will like to know about me..

This scammer will use a variety of lies and excuses to get his victims to send money; Below is a list of some of the likely excuses;

Money to pay for the internet service
Doctors bills as "s"he will claim to be sick and require medical treatment
Money for flights to come and live with you
Money for visas.

While chatting with this scammer, you may notice that the writing skills suddenly get much better and or faster, while chatting to a victim, most romance scammers will most likely be chatting to other victims, because of this you may also notice;
Disapearances for up to 10 minutes or even longer
A seeming lack of actually paying attention
Your questions may not be answered
Sudden long bursts of script, usually romantic verse and often stolen from the net
Lots of questions asked, in some cases the same questions as previous chats.

Like most romance scammers, this girl will be quick to fall in love with you and may suggest that you are the first person she has ever been serious with, of course, this is a lie.
The pictures she uses will be of a very attractive girl who would surely not have a problem finding a boyfriend (if they were real that is)

Below is a selection of things that she may post into chats with her victims

I love the way that you love me, in each and every touch and kiss. I wouldn't know what to do if I didn't have you

Hi my darling thank you so much for your mail am glad to hear from you once again how is your work hope its going on smoothly for you.well when will you send me your pictures i will like to see you since i haven't seen your pictures due you sound so good to me.l

The following details have been provided by the scammer in chat;

i live in eastern part of ghana in a town call akim akroso you can check that on google map.

You will notice with most scammers some lines that are simply wrong, here is a great example;

You have been in my thought and mind since yesterday i can't even get my eyes on your wonderful lovely pictures you sent to me

Claims to have a brother, yes, brother;

25years old babe she attend college now

Africans generally make the same kinds of mistakes, notice here the use of "am" rather than "I am", remember, this scammer claims to have grown up in the US

am very happy with you my mom ask me why i was so happy since morning i went to surprise her i will tell her the reason why am so happy

Here is a very common line that most romance scammers will use at some stage;

babe age does not matter its just a number so don't worry about your age

Many scammers will call their victims "babe", by doing so they can avoid calling their victims by the wrong name;

You are right love trust is important in the relationship.my nickname is Bali you can call me what ever you like babe if only it comes from your heart am glad you like the babe word i use to call you it really comes from my heart

Scammers will often talk about trust, trust is how they intend on getting their hands on your money;

You are right babe trust is very important if we have trust between the relationship will last longer and grow each and everyday

They will also make many promises that they do not intend on keeping;

Am glad to hear this from you i also respect you and will never hurt you in anyway

Another common mistake with their grammar is adding or omitting an "s"

the same to me babe i will forever be yours and the mother of our future childrens

It is common for them to insist that they and their vic are meant to be together;

same to me we really find this relationship so easy i think we are meant to each other.

The emails from the scammer continue;

Hi babe thank you so much for your mail how is your work and how is your family hope things are moving on well smoothly for you am glad to hear from you once again.I just want to know who am talking to over the internet its very hard to talk to someone you don't know or see so please try your very best and get me your pictures as i have already sent you mine.Well i was born in u.s but raised in ghana i come here in ghana with my mom by her divorced am half american and half ghanaian am not working at the moment just complete college so i use to help mom at the market selling food stuff vegetables etc.Yes i do live with my mom uncle and younger brother here in Ghana i don't have any family in U.S i don't have any children.what do you think of me and what will you like to know about me do you mind about the distance or age? what is the name of your children and where is they are mother tell me what happen in your past relationship..Anyway i will like to end here hope to hear from you real soon kisses and hugs..

This scammer is a little unusual in that "she" actually does read and respond to your emails, this may be partly due to the scammers preference to use chat, we can not yet be sure.

Here is the latest email received;
