African Bride Scam

Company: Osai and Samuel Williams
Address : P.O. Box 295, Mile Seven Achimota, Accra, 233, Ghana

I was contacted by Osai Williams through "Match.Com" internet dating service. Her profile said she lived in Accra Ghana with her uncle, since her parents were supposedly killed in a lorry accident in South Africa. After corresponding for a couple months, she said she wanted to come to the USA to see me. Of course it necessitated my sending money for visa, and for airfare. I tried to do some checking to confirm visa costs and the US requirements from (ols INS) indicated that proof of sustainability must be shown before a visa would be granted. I therefore fell for her request for $2,000.00. This was supposedly necessary for the embassy to grant her a visa. I later contacted the embassy in Accra and they told me that no such fee was required in Ghana. I also sent partial airfare to her before learning of the scam. Her associate whom she call her uncle called me several times to vouch for her. Of course he was in on the scam. I later learned that the photos she represented herself with were copied from an internet modelling photo website. Also, the visa which she scanned and sent me, I forwarded to the US embassy in Accra and was told it was a fake. She still contacts me and asks for more money so she can join me in the USA.
