Every person has a passion in life , wether it be sports , art , music etc. Scamming is this persons passion in life. The very definition of a sociapath. As it is written not all sociapaths wield knotted ropes and knives
Extracting as much of their targets info , be it strengths , humor , and your passions as well, everything.
They ask to meet you in private , to seek to console you , and learn from you . only to exploit all of your weakness agaisnt you . This very act sets their soul soring , this is their religion , they worship at the altar of inflicting pain to others. They have a sense of entitlement , parasites attatching themselves to a host.
These people will never attain anything more , than their current position in life. Scamming is their drug , and they are deep in hock to their addiction.
This person goes by the name of grace adobea atuah , very clever scammer , kept me online for 2-3 months before asking for money. He/She claims to live in accra ghana . Invited me to come to her in ghana .
This seems a bit unusal for a scammer. her phone 011 233 241 449 982 claims to have her own business beautician. He/She is a somewhat skillful writer . Most likely work as husband wife team .
I am not yet sure how to post pics of her on this site , but hopefully pics will follow.
Anyway this took over a 2 year period , I had visited several sites to learn about scammers , due to being approached by a number of them from cupid dating site . They all had the same method , pretend to fall in love all at once then begin to ask for money . This person did not do that. Her chats are unscripted and very thoughtfull intuitive. And when she talked of coming here to the US , I suggested me to tavel there instead, she agreed . This is not a typical scammer , very patient.
She sent me a gourmet gift basket costing $100 .
We spent hours each night chating , to this person it was only gathering of intel.
I was prepared to travel to there Ghana , having gotten my affairs in order to do so , passport etc.
Anyheck , 2 years later and minus funds , hiring a company to invetsigate her .and learning a very hard lesson.
Towards the end of this 2 years she introduced me to her uncle , he sent me many fake documents of supposed gold dust held by him for his niece grace . I forget how many kilo's of gold.
I am very familar with the gold business , so this sent up red flags.
Interesting she waited almost 2 years before mentioning that she was an heir to her fathers gold dust .

Brad Pasiley is her favorite musician , she knows many of his songs , as she sang them to me over the phone.
Her Favorite food is banku , fufu , and Korte and potatoes. She claims to be a widow.
Anyheck I am not looking for sympathy , only wish to stop this from happening to others.

Apparently there is a program in google which allows you to find similiar pictures on the web.
I hope someone on this site can instruct me on how to do this.
Thank you

yes hello... she sounds fremilliar but in the pictures of this women does she supposedly have curly black hair and braces and someof them of her in a yellow shirt standing infront if a sink and one of her in a white shirt, then again standing infront of a couch in a pink shirt and blue pants am then again in a green shirt.. and her favorit food chicken and rice and she likes pizza and at times to go to the accra mall and to go volunteering at orphanages?.. supposedly she was married at one time but i think he died in a car accident i dont know.. but we met on the afroromance site back in august is this one of the pictures that you have seen? :https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=117408018408615&set=a.106554136160670.16465.100004182524406&type=1&theater
the story is similar to this the one you .. i have seen her on the yahoo video at times and her hair is now straight and she wears glasses.. but she is wanting to come here and were planning on getting the paper work made up for her passport and visa.. but this picture here i found out can not be her.. this is of apparently a porno celebraty.. .. but she does like paisly,, too
by crusader37 Wed Jun 26, 2013 8:19 am
This one sent me a dossen roses candy and a stuffed animal. And she si a school teacher at the morning star school
Her favorite color is pink and her email is a yahoo email she does call me every once in a while but has never really asked me for anything but to be with me. Her voice is kinda medium and her IP address comes from one of the hotels by the Accra airport she lives either in east lagon on Bob street her uncle is Paul adarkwa
by Danieljack Wed Jun 26, 2013 8:52 am
Thank you for your reply , she did tell me her address was east legon bobo st 00233 , there is no such address her fav color is pink , her nick name is pinky , she has a supposed friend named patricia fortune who is a school [email protected] also a supposed uncle named micheal owusu email [email protected] , he sent me emails urging me to invest in gold dust which he is holding for grace.
She waited 2 years before springing that one on me. These people are very cunning , not the typical scammers.
It would be interesting to gather as much info , on all of these scammers , fav music colors , food etc , so that this info could be used to track and cross reference them , and all of their different profiles.
Are you still in contact with her ? if so where did you meet her ? I met her on cupid, what pictures did she use.
I just found out how to back track their pictures , wish I had known that sooner. I think instructions on how to do that should be at the top of the list on this site.
by Danieljack Wed Jun 26, 2013 9:23 am
she will not be coming to you , or to anyone else , you are correct about the pics which fooled me , they are from a porn site. These people will have multiple profiles online.
by crusader37 Thu Jun 27, 2013 7:43 am
her email is gracepinky01.. well the grace i have been talking too is.. but she has not asked for much of anything really.. we met last yr 2012 august 3rd.. i dont have any real pictures of her but i found out just a few days ago the ones she did send were not her.. but i believe she knows that i know they are not.. either she dont have a camera or it is because her comeputer is slow and shes afraid of it being too slow to send any.. but she is a dear kind woman but there is just so many fishy things about the situation... anyway thank you if you do have any pictures of her you can send them to <Removed for safety - CW>... i have only seen her twice on the video thing on the yahoo but then the camara went out.. i would just like to see what she really looks like.. if you can that would be wonderful. she never told me anything about her father only that she has a mother and a sister selina.. she never mentioned anything about malaria.. sometimes she answeres my questions and sometimes its like 2 or 3 minutes she asked me one. i do know she speaks twi... i am doubting though that she is a school teacher... that could be why no one i have ever tried to reach on the ghanaschools.net or any of the websites for that school has replied because they dont recognize the picture... even the african cyberspace website. but it is possible her intentions are real that she does feel what she says.. but she gave me one adress in east lagon but her IP is coming from the hotel.. shes never talked much about much of anything about a traditional wedding but obnly about coming here.. apparently she does have a pasport but no visa yet.. but i just want to be able to see what she really looks like up close.. but i dont know whats going to happen now.. i dont know what to believe or what to do.. but every day and night about we have been on the yahoo and we would call each other and the only names i ever known she was was grace adobea.. when ever i looked it on the web there would be bits and pieces almost eluding to her but nothing definate but anyway thank you. if you do have any pictures send them to the my email.

"She" is not coming to meet you, crusader37.
The person you are in contact with is a scammer and probably a male one too. The video that you have seen is to try and convince you that things are real but you will never be able to interact live with this person on camera. What you have seen is likely stolen footage.

You do not need pictures of this woman as she does not exist. Any pictures that you receive are stolen from elsewhere. Scammers never reveal their true selves.

To send any funds in the hope that this person is real is true folly. Your best course of action is to drop all contact with this person and move on with your life. If you do not, you will be taken for every penny that you can beg steal or borrow.

To reiterate what Con Warner said: This is a textbook scam case.

You will note that I refer to the scammer as "he" and "him." The person behind those letters and chats is far more likely a man than a woman. I am not saying that women scammers do not exist - I am saying that Nigeria and Ghana have very strongly male-dominated societies, and the power, education, and resources needed to effectively run these scams are typically in the hands of men.


-The woman on the phone is most most likely his wife, girlfriend, or part of his gang if he is part of a more organized scam group. (That is assuming he is not using software to create a female voice.)
- The scammer was using software and existing video (most likely of a porn actress) to create fake webcam. When the "camera went out" it was because he ran out of video. There was never any camera and none of the footage was real.
-The scammer might send you new photos, but they will simply be different stolen photos.
-The other victim does not have any pictures of the real grace either, because the real Grace DOES NOT EXIST.

You need to cut off all contact with this scammer now. You have absolutely NOTHING to gain by remaining in contact, but you have plenty to lose.

that is assuming it is a man, but you dont really know since you say it probably might be.. just because you want to think that, does not mean that is it.. but there could be also more then one person posing as this woman..
but they could be using someone else for the video or that could be them but having multiple video s going on at the same time.. that could be a stretch but could be possible.. but i never assume anything until all of the facts
and truth is exposed to anything.. alot of things people want to think to is preconcieved... they think just because it happens to alot of people then everyone is fake with out even questioning it.. but the weight of evidence now is that this person very well could be fake and most likely is.. well the person is real but shes pretending to be someone else.. doing it for love or money or some other thing... but the person apparently haS
more then one yahoo address.. i didnt know this until afew days ago.. i have only had one she gave me i know.. but the conversations have stopped... and im glad i have not sent her much of anything.. but the person told me she only gets $150 a month for doing what ever it is.. either a teacher or a beautician

The picture. In the link you put is the same person that is on the passport. And even that might not be her
by Danieljack Fri Jun 28, 2013 8:18 am
crusader37 , would you be so kind as to post her full email address ,
by Con Warner Fri Jun 28, 2013 8:31 am
To search pictures, go to Google and in the black bar at the top, there is a link to "Images". Click on the link and then in the search bar there is a camera to the right. Click that and either paste a URL to a picture you want to search or upload a picture.

The scammer is using the pictures of this glamour model because there are plenty to choose from. Some fully clothed and some in lingerie.

@crusader:

BOTH links belong to porn actresses: The photo in your facebook link is of an Indian porn woman. (click link to see search results.) The woman in the photos is not even Ghanaian!

The woman in Danieljack's link (the one you say is on the passport) is this porn model: http:// www. auntiesbedroom .com /martha/martha001.html

The scammers have just done what they normally do--gone to porn sites and selected photos of women that will be useful for their scams, and saved them so they could send them to victims.

I'm going to be VERY blunt here, not just for your sake, but because I don't want this thread to encourage other victims to hold on to a lie. Whether you realize it or not, you are NOT really looking for the facts. You ARE trying to hang on to hope of something that does not exist.

just because you want to think that, does not mean that is it.. but there could be also more then one person posing as this woman..

It is not that we want to think it. We would love to be able to say that it looks like you have found your future partner. Unfortunately, we know better. We have dealt with thousands of these scammers. We KNOW and understand how they work, period. What we say is not based on preconceived "ideas." The people who volunteer on this site have literally spent thousands of hours dealing with these scammers - baiting them (posing as victims), researching them, and sometimes even befriending them for information. We aren't dealing with theory here, we are dealing with a wealth of experience and knowledge. And yes, when it comes to porn models, there usually IS more than one scammer posing as the same porn model. But the porn model herself is not involved--she is making her money off her porn photos and videos, not online scamming.

Are there real Africans looking for actual relationships online? Yes. But you are not dealing with one.

that could be them but having multiple video s going on at the same time.. that could be a stretch but could be possible..

Yes it is a stretch. As to whether the real person in ANY of the photos loves you and plans to marry you--it's about as likely as you winning the powerball lottery jackpot (the real one, not the scammer invented one) this week.

im glad i have not sent her much of anything.

Which tells me you HAVE sent money. What you consider to be very little is actually quite a bit in Ghana, and to the scammers, it means that it is worth their effort to continue scamming you.

Your scenario is absolutely nothing new. It is the same exact scenario we have seen countless times before. And this is not the first time that we've had a victim advance the same theories or arguments. In the end, it has ALWAYS ended the exact same way. A year later, the victim has either finally realized they are being scammed, or they are still sitting at home, sending money to a "woman" they have never met, insisting that some day they will be together.

All we want to do is to help you to avoid further financial loss and heartbreak. We are advising you to cut all contact and walk away because it is the best way for you to do that.
