I met a woman or rather she found me here. Her profile said she was from the U.S., but after talking for a while it turns out she is from Ghana. Alright a little bit of surprise, but I don't mind talking and she's pretty attractive. I have had foreign women contact me before on another dating site, so I have a developed a spiel explaining that if they are only interested in money move on. She wasn't hunting for money, so we talked more.
So I have been talking to her for less than a week now and she is calling me "dear one" and saying that I am "the one" and how much she loves me. I have carefully chosen my words, but I have minimally played along. Everything she says seems to be what she thinks I want to hear and not what she really thinks. She hardly knows me and I would definitely say I don't believe I really know her. Am I wrong to feel things are moving to fast and have some deep reservations about continuing with this? What are your thoughts?

THe money will be coming soon. Walk away and never respond again

All I can say is, ScamWOW.

Sounds like she is giving you a false sense that she is not after money, she will be asking for it once she has gained your trust

Walk away is putting it mildly

u must run away as fast as u can

This is the classic MO for scammers.

The chances of this woman being for real are pretty infintesimal.

LOL!

I have seen her before!

Thanks everyone. I was thinking something wasn't making sense, but I just wanted some confirmation.

What a nice compliment.

No but I'd I'd say you were best damned looking 50yo man I've ever seen.lol

nothing to see anymore move along

I had a good looking one before. And I will get one again.

Yep!!

I've gotten the same sh!t myself. And eventually they get around to asking for money or wanting me to accept packages and re-ship to another country. Or worse, money laundering.

I played along with one guy and kept all emails, chats, etc. then when he sent me a bogus check to deposit into my account, then wire the money before the check bounced... I turned all the evidence over to the police who turned it over to the FBI.

Turns out there is a terrorist hub in Nigeria who has guys out there falsely wooing vulnerable single women into doing illegal activities and/or investing money they can't afford to lose.

They also like to launder money through Canada. It is a classic scheme.

I would say that if it is a female doing the speed love thing, chances are she's looking for a one-way ticket to the USA at your expense, then a green card and then she's gone... taking with her whatever she can gleen from your bank account.

Beware!!!

Hey RJR when did you find that Yellow Cat

I was up late last night, couldn't sleep. So I was browsing the threads... a guy pops up to chat, I figure, what the heck, no harm in chatting. So I accept. He just signed up and his one pic is fuzzy. Next thing you know he's hammering all these personal questions at me. Wants my full name, phone number so he can "hear my lovely voice"... wants to delete his new profile cuz he's found the one... yada yada yada.

I put him in his place, and he proceeds to try the softer approach and gain my trust. He says he doesn't have calling card, so he gives me his phone number... an international number and wants me to call him --- yah, at 1:00 AM. I told him I can't make international calls, and he proceeds to ask for my number so he can call me. (Now, didn't he just tell me he didn't have a calling card and couldn't make calls?) How stupid do these ying yangs think we are?

I reported his profile to Mingle and blocked him. He sounds like a predator or scammer to me. He kept asking me personal questions, wanted my full name, etc. -- and he would not answer any questions that I asked. Kept throwing more questions at me. He sent me an email with his pic and suddenly I couldn't open my yahoo email... and everytime I tried, the pc would lock up... I kept getting a flag that said I had 3,900 + emails.

Scary stuff. And people can't understand why I'm reluctant to give out my phone number or other contact info when first starting to chat. It's our current society and the nature of the web I guess. Not much different than what we have to go through when we travel these days.

We have been forced to become a suspicious and overly cautious society. Trust no one is becoming a reasonable policy to adopt.

You are a hot ticket out of Ghana. Your radar caught that early on but you were too nice to shut it off. Exit stage left pronto!!!!!!

I'm with you, protecting myself from the wolves by not divulging everything. Especially phone number.....The last relationship I moved with was great, since the man was easily googled and I could verify everything he was saying about himself. His picture was CURRENT, his vocation accurate etc.
I sure wish people would stop hiding behind all the abstracts and have a picture of themselves posted. Being authentic is VITAL!
