I keep running into major pockets of these scammers on dating sites.
These scams are conducted by West African men, who are residents of the Guangdong Province of China.
Primarily they are in the city of Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Dongguan. The profiles they set up will indicate the lady is in these cities, or generic area.
She will be an asian lady, (Chinese, Filipina, or other) 28-35 years old, Single, no children, and working a domestic, meniall or minor administrative job. (Nanny, caretaker, tutor, salesgirl, clerk, administrative assistant, etc)
The girl will be mildly attractive, to pretty. The scammers have multiple pictures of the girl. You are NOT in contact with the various girls in the pictures used in these scams! They are using stolen sets of pictures of many asian girls.
They usually will have an excuse to not show a face on cam. (Broken, no time to go to cafe, boss is strict, etc) Occasionally they will use a recorded loop of a girl over a webcam, but for short durations.
They do have 'Asian' females helping them, usually to talk on the phone. The girl will profess love too quickly, in a few emails, and will want to travel to meet the victim if the victim pays for the trip and visa, via a FAKE 'visa and travel' agency.
The emails are sweet. They are possibly 'scripts', like the 'Russian' scammers use. (the same email goes out to many men)
The 'Visa and travel' agency will have a website you can look at, but it's a FAKE agency site, set up by the West African scammers.
You may also be asked to email or phone an 'agency representative'. You will be emailed a real looking travel itinerary, assorted bills and invoices, but they are FAKE, and no girl will arrive at your local airport, if you fall for this SCAM.
They are also doing some other '419' scams via these dating site profiles, as well. Make sure you see a face on cam, and if the girl is in love too quickly....something is not right.These scammers are also happy to send you copies of fake passports, and other
documents.
NEVER SEND MONEY TO SOMEBODY YOU ONLY KNOW FROM THE INTERNET.
Research the REAL 'visa and travel' procedures for your country, and remember, 'poor' asian people do not get visas easily to western nations, and they do not get them with the speed and method these scams claim.

Nice and interesting information and informative too.Can you please let me know the good attraction places we can visit checkout: china visa application
I believe I am being scammed by a young lady in Shenzhen,China. She was supposed to come to the US twice but both times cancelled the flights and asked for more money for some other reason. We communicated for several months and she convinced me that she loved me.
This is really sad. Scammers are everywhere especially in dating sites. So i think before getting involved with any body online, we really need to do some background check and loyalty test so that we really know who we are dealing with. Being scammed isn't a joke especially if there is a money involved so i really suggest lets do some loyalty test before having a relationship with anybody who we met online. We really have to be careful. Some people are conducting and doing the honey trapping online it will help you to know if your love of your life is true to you or not.
