The Ghana girls
|
The Ghana girls Well been back for a few months now. Some things have changed, some haven't. Under the latter column, there seem to be fewer 'active' locals here. Of course the site seems to have gotten bigger (there were no blogs when I last loitered here regularly) and I simply may not know where folks hang now... The other thing is of course the arrival of the Ghana girls... If you're a guy you've no doubt seen them and not just here. They seem particularly active here though. Maybe the guys here have been more gullible than most or maybe there's some other selection process we're not seeing. But they are enthusiastic. In the old days I used to get one maybe two winks a month(!) and under the 'noise' I suspect nothing's really changed there. What has changed is the sheer deluge of girls from African nations, mostly Ghana, some Nigeria and a smattering of the other nearby nations. I'm now getting on average 20-30 winks a day. Fully half of them say Ghana in the location of the winking profile. A good half of the rest use figures of speech that clearly mark them as more of the same in spite of living in Queensland or Colorado. Queensland is clearly doing its African marketing right by the way given how many of these girls seem to want to be from there. Kudos!  So how can you tell the wheat from the chaff? Well the easiest way is just looking at some of the profiles. They tend to follow a set pattern. Actually one of two or three set patterns. Mostly they're "God fearing humble women searching for the man they can serve for the rest of their lives". They dislike liars and cheats (and clearly have a poorly developed sense of irony). They're looking to mate for life. Like the Nigerian advance fee frauds (419 scams to some of you) most of the action it seems takes place in internet cafes. Like the 419ers the name of the game is to extract money from you. Here's a clue guys (and girls I'm guessing). If your true love asks you to send cash the second time you talk, they may not be what they seem. Of course its seldom couched that way. Most usually they're poor students, or travelling Aussies who been robbed or some variation on the theme of someone without money who wants to come to Australia. Its love right? So you'll pay to "re-unite" the two of you. Won't you? What sort of unfeeling bastard are you? To abandon a poor Melbourne lass to a foreign country with no money. Yes... her and her 15 friends who all wrote me the same sob story today. And the 15 from yesterday. Let's see that's 450 this month and about 2000 since I rejoined... I should alert the press. People need to hear this. All this by the way extends to that other set of diligent fraudsters, the Russians. Only last week I was winked by a gorgeous blonde, naked, 27yo, size 8 or so, E cup hotty. Wow is all I can say. Well that and "too good to be true". You should all remember here, if it seems too good to be true, it almost always is. So how can I know this is a scam. How can I know the Ghana girls are too? Conversation is usually sufficient. Talk to them for a while. So first off, they will very quickly contrive to send you their address to chat off-site. Not a surprise, HotMatch.com like many singles sites has a fairly flakey mail system and the extra filtering they apply doesn't seem to slow the bad guys at all. (It does slow you and me, but then again if we fail to hook up, we'll just end up paying HotMatch.com more money for longer, so it's all a win from their POV). Anyway chat to them. If you're from Melbourne like me you have a great conversation opener. The football. No one here has no opinion about the football. They either love it, hate it, rabidly follow some team or other. Whichever option, no one from Melbourne just ignores it. Or say the word Collingwood. You can't be from Melbourne and not have an opinion about Collingwood. And its where the scammers fail. They have no idea what a Collingwood is... what it means... or why you said the word. They will change the subject and try to talk about something else. Sadly, no one from here does that... gotcha! Those of you from other places, can I'm sure come up with similar things to chat about. Find something a local is passionate about but is just words to someone from far away. If its something extreme enough, like AFL football, then even a Queenslander, a real one, knows how to react. If you're not sure there other gambits. For the lost travellers try suggesting they contact the embassy. Last I tried I got its in another city and the hotel won't let her use the phone. They will let her sit on the internet all day though! There's not a lot of subtlety in these people and by and large they've done zero research on the things they're trying to pass themselves off as. This is the spam email approach of course. They've not picked you specifically, they've picked every guy they can see on the site. HotMatch.com has what 5 million members? Lets work at winking them all. If 1 in 10000 responds, if 1/10th of those send them $500, then they've made $250,000. That's real money where I live, let alone some Nigerian shithole. Small wonder that an army of hopeful amateurs and smaller cadre of organised scumbags are all out there beating the bushed for the .01% of people gullible enough to send money. Don't send money guys. It will never end well. Don't pay for translator services, for air tickets, for anything. Cash will disappear. As will Western Union transfers and bank transfers or any of those other money exchange systems. Paypal and credit cards have some protections against your transaction going bad, but the downside is the bad guy likely gets your account number and it becomes the target of worse people (because your beloved will sell it to them). If you try sending 'things', they can all be traded away on ebay or other less legal forums. Bottom line, you're only dummy to these people. A wallet that hasn't yet been drained. Step away from them. They're not your friends. |
