I have been to Ghana and Nigerian where I spent a lot of time - a good part of a year.  What did I make of the places - well they are two places where you soon mistrust your own family members!!!   You are on guard from the moment you arrive until you leave.

Everyone is on the make and I mean everyone.  From the moment you step off the plane you are no longer a person you are a walking pound or dollar sign.  

But they are not racialist at all - they will cheat their own next door neighbour if they can.  It is inbuilt in every avenue of life there.   The problem is that every Nigerian and Ghanian is branded as a cheat and a conman - but that is not quite true - babies are born every day and these are quite clean for a few weeks.  At least until they learn to talk!!!!

Roy, I don't tell them how to fix the mistakes. I just tell them they are there and leave it as that. I don't want them to get better at it?


Well, I told her the most obvious, stupid ones she made-and the biggest one she will never fix, because they are too lazy (most of them) to put the effort in to do so. For me it's details, details, details. And they avoid giving you details, because it is too easy to get caught in them. For example; one told me she/he/it had a son. I kept asking questions about the boy. She'd never really answer, just generic stuff-'he likes to play video games' (didn't know which was his favorite) 'he likes to draw' (didn't know what he liked to draw), etc. Any woman with a child is going to be able to tell you a lot about their kid. Especially if they are really looking for a man to be a father to the child. I just finished an EMF to a lady who asked me about my daughter. I told her about what she likes to draw, how we make little books by stapling paper together, which she then draws pictures in and writes a story about the drawings. I told her about her teachers, about her personality, etc etc. And I'm a dad. A mom is going to do that x's 10, if she is a real mom.

Most scammers are looking for naive and trusting men. When they emphasize 'trust' over and over, it's a setup. You almost have to be a willing dupe to get scammed most of the time. I think that's the problem; some are so desparate, in reality, to find someone that they will ignore the plain warning signals and explain them away for themselves. Better be thinking with the right head rather than fantasizing with the wrong one.

sometimes it is fun to bait them and let them think they have someone on the hook
drag it out and they get frustrated
