Hi Indianman

Lia would say "Please don't send this person any money."

You most likely fell victim to a scammer. Danielle is safe and sound at home in Tempe (Phoenix, USA) right now, not in Africa.

We can't really do anything about those scammers sitting in Africa. It's outside all our jurisdictions. If you sent that person money, I suggest you contact your local police and file in an Internet fraud complaint.
I don't have much faith that it would lead somewhere, though.

Hi! I discovered Danielle and this site thanks to a scammer from Ghana!

He thought he could trick me, but in fact he gave me a favor by leading me to investigate who was really the lady in the pictures he sent.

So I was contacted by an extremely cute girl in a site called flirtic. Here is her (I mean "his") fake profile (while it lasts) : http://www.flirtic.com/1313027
This site is full of scammers, but usually from the first message, they just say "hey sexy, wanna chat? add me in Skype, my email is ....". So it's pretty obvious. But this one was more patient and started chatting like a normal person. But of course, when it's too good to be true, it's generally not true. So I played along, to see when he'll ask me for money. The pictures he sent me of Danielle were good, because it looked like amateur photos, not an obvious porn star photo. Quite clever.

But his bad English was too absurd.. Typically not from Florida! And his constant "dear" added to every sentence. For example : "i wish i was with you there so that we have launch together dear." Laughable!
Then, came the amazing revelation that "her" dead father had a business in Ghana (oh oh, really?) and he has a flat there, and she has to go there to sign some papers to inherit the apartment. So far, no money asked. He prepares the situation very well. And he has even found a picture of Danielle where she packs her suitcase!
So yesterday, I ask if we can do a video chat, to say goodbye (lol). And he says to use Skype, because in Hangouts, her browser doesn't support video. (lol). but "sorry dear my mic doesnt work well". (yeah, right). So here we go, on skype I see a poor quality video of Danielle on webcam, of course without sound. I guess he has some kind of software to feed any video as if it was his webcam. After a few minutes we stop, he says he was happy to see me, blablabla.. sorry we couldn't chat..

After that, I was curious to know where he got those pictures. Because I didn't know Danielle then. So I did a reverse image search, and finally found the truth!
And I'm glad to be able to see more pictures of Danielle, without asking this guy from Ghana, haha!
Today is the day her direct plane from Miami to Accra is leaving (as if...) So I'll see what he tells me, and have a good laugh.

Hi Matwallace

First of all, welcome to Danielle's Forum.

It's good that you haven't fallen for the scam.
Thank you for your detailed description. That explains why some of the victims who have actually fallen for those scams are claiming "But I've seen her on Skype!" when they never could have really had one-to-one contact.

The packing picture might have been this:

(Cell Phone picture set #16, picture 30)

The scammers make good use (or should I say bad use?) of Danielle's free Webcam and Candid Camera sets.

If you want to confront "him", you could send this picture back ...

(Cell Phone picture set #13, picture 50)

... but I'm kind of curious how the story ends and how the scammer asks for money.
I guess "Siah" will get stuck in Ghana with debts inherited from her father and can't afford the ticket back to the states anymore. (As if you would start trips like these with a one-way ticket.)

Thank you for telling your story!

Mattwallace7 · 09-23-2016, 11:20 AM

Haha, yes, it was exactly that picture with the suitcases!
And also some pictures where Danielle is on a helicopter, and wearing a big red coat.
In fact at the beginning, I wasn't sure if it was a scammer from Africa or from a country like Russia and that it was real pictures, because usually they are not very clever and use obvious fake sexy pictures. (But I should know that scammers never show their real photos anyway). With her bad English I could think she was from Eastern Europe. After he mentioned Ghana, there was no more doubt. The funny thing is that now, when I look at Danielle's pictures, I have the feeling I'm seeing an old friend

Well, I got news from him. He was maintaining a radio silence, to pretend he was on a plane. Mind you, a direct flight from Miami to Accra, at 9 AM, that was supposed to be 14 hours long. I checked, and of course, there is no such direct flights..
Just so you have a taste of his bad English, read this :

"Hello Good morning dear,How are you doing? it is 10:21am here in the morning in Ghana and the sun is shining this morning, many peoples are in the country very nice country, how have your day been since i was not online? i have miss you so much dear kiss"

For now, there is no question about money. He said he'll meet the persons to deal with her father's flat on Monday... He's really patient. I guess he'll be so disappointed not to smell any money from me... Poor guy. LOL.
So, you'll have some updates at the next episode!

Mattwallace7 · 09-26-2016, 10:29 PM

Finally, he made his move to ask for money! He didn't pretend to have lost his passport or some problem to go back to the USA, but played the card of the sick mother who needs to be sent to the hospital, but she doesn't have 400$ for that... He prepared the situation in the chats well ahead, mentioning the mother quite a few time.

"My dear I want to ask you something but I feel very shy of my self. I want Money to send to my mom so that my cousin can send her to the hospital. But I don't have money to send to her and I'm asking you to help me with the money so that I can send to her to go."
Then I pretended to agree...
and he said :
"I will give it you my details so that when you go to the bank you tell them you are sending money to Ghana through Moneygram or western union. Name: TALAATA SIAH
Country: GHANA Zip code: 00233".

When I think now he believes he got me! lol.
But too bad I didn't get to see any pictures of her with a landscape of Ghana in the background, like I asked.. I wonder why...
And when I asked if she packed sun cream, she said she didn't understand. Haha. I bet he doesn't use it...

Anyway, that's how the story ends. Too bad it wasn't the real Danielle I was chating to

Clever.
With that information, authorities might just be able to track down the scammer. Maybe not, if that name is fake, too.

It is interesting to see the story unfold, luckily with one not falling for the trap but trapping the scammer instead.

This might be the point to either confront "Siah" or to contact the authorities to help protect others from the scam.
