Looks Like The Ghanans Are Evolving!
What I mean is their typical age in dating profiles was women of about 30 to 33 years. Now they are trying older ages, such as 37 to 39. Nice tactic, but in the end the combination of stupid mistakes and Scammer Grammar give them away!

This most often shows when individual scammers (even if educated) try to improvise and create new written communications.

The scam typically involves promising the victim a significant share of a large sum of money, in return for a small up-front payment, which the fraudster claims will be used to obtain the large sum. If a victim makes the payment, the fraudster either invents a series of further fees for the victim or simply disappears. The 419 comes from the Nigerian law against this type of scam. setup!

FAQ: How Do You Properly Report Scammers?
It is essential that law enforcement knows about scamsScams A Scam is a confidence trick - a crime - is an attempt to defraud a person or group after first gaining their trust through deception. Scams or confidence tricks exploit victims using their credulity, naïveté, compassion, vanity, irresponsibility, or greed and exploiting that. Researchers have defined confidence tricks as "a distinctive species of fraudulent conduct ... intending to further voluntary exchanges that are not mutually beneficial", as they "benefit con operators ('con men' - criminals) at the expense of their victims (the 'marks')". A scam is a crime even if no money was lost. & scammers, even though there is nothing (in most cases) that they can do.
Always report scams involving money lost or where you received money to:

They are criminals that attempt to deceive a victim into sending more or performing some other activity that benefits the scammer. started contacting me Thursday. Goes by the name of Tina Pinnoti from Cambridge Minnesota. Same photos as you used.
She has been scanning me for months and claiming to be born in the United States. The other day I was checking two of three phone numbers she has given me as she told me she got herself stranded in Tema, Ghana where her mom lives. These are the phone numbers 011-233-279-965078 as it is operated under TIGO and is a Nokiia c3 cell phone and 011-233-549-225940 MTN service she uses and I do know she uses this at times to get on Yahoo Instant Messenger when she can’t get on a computer as some of her messages come from a Android Phone.
Plus she has a Facebook account as she claims to have been born in Niagara Falls, New York and I know some says that she is man, but when I first meet her online I have actually seen her on a webcam and I wish I had my laptop as I have some other photos she has sent me. Plus the phone numbers I checked them last night and they do not belong to the city of Tema, Ghana, but are Accra, Ghana mobile phone numbers. And she has to be near New Road in Accra as there is a couple internet cafes on that street and someone picks up money from a Western Union on that street.
Report the facebook account, they will close it down.
