Online Scammers in Ghana
In Ghana, On-line criminals are targeting men who have sex with men (MSMs). They aim to extort money through kidnapping, violence and use of Ghana’s archaic colonial law.

As homosexuality is illegal in Ghana, MSM’s have no protection under the law and reporting a crime can lead to the victim being criminalised.

Furthermore, the police often work with the criminals to extort money and therefore cannot be trusted.

How they work
The scams
If you look at the online dating sites, you will notice that many of the guys from Ghana claim to be as young as 18. Many of these people are not actually gay. The ones that are, may not be genuinely looking for what they claim. The pictures are often fake and their profiles may well be copied from other peoples.

The usual scam is to tell you a sad story and ask you to send money. For example, they may say they are orphans, could not finish their education or need money for hospital bills. These stories are usually not true. Ask yourself how these guys are able to pay to use the internet 24 hours a day.

The most dangerous scam is to persuade you to meet them. This can result in you being arrested, kidnapped and beaten up in an attempt to extort money from you.

If you are a foreigner, another scam would be a request for marriage in your country. It is very difficult to get visa’s for Ghanaians, particularly the ones you meet on the internet who are young, unemployed and uneducated. Due to the economic situation, they are desperate to leave Ghana. We have heard stories of people who succeeded in getting their Ghanaian boyfriend to their country only to have them leave them for a woman.
Homosexuality in Ghana
The Legal and Cultural Situation
Homosexuality is illegal in Ghana which allows criminals to use the law as a ‘blackmailers charter’. Male homosexual activity is categorised under the old British colonial law instituted in the 19th Century:

Criminal Code 1960- Chapter 6, Sexual Offences Article 105:
Whoever is guilty of unnatural carnal knowledge- (a) of any person without his consent, is guilty of first degree felony;
(b) of any person with his consent, or of any animal, is guilty of a misdemeanour.

Like much of Africa, Ghana’s version of religion is fundamentalist. They see homosexuality as a sin and can even believe it is caused by possession of evil spirits. In this climate, rational discussion is impossible.

A recent hoax about about Ghana hosting an international conference of lesbian and gays created mass hysteria in the press and the population. Even the government were fooled and banned the fictional event.

Even so, the law is not often used to imprison people and because homosexuality is not often on people’s minds, MSM’s can move about fairly freely unless it is made public. It is normal in Ghana for men to hold hands, walk with arms around each other, sit on each others laps and dance together.
Safety Tips
How not to get beaten up and robbed
Take great care when meeting people on line. Below are some of the things scammers have said to people when arranging to meet them:

1 Bring your phone (because they want to steal it)
2 Dress sexy / wear your good clothes, etc (because they will strip you naked and sell your clothes)
3 Come alone (so that there is no one to help you)
4 Come to Tema!

Sometimes they might text you a sexy message and ask you to respond. If you text back something sexual they can use that as evidence against you with the police. Yahoo chats and your online photos can also be used as evidence.

Also get suspicious if the person is in too much of a rush to meet you.
Identity Theft
If you do not take care people can use your pictures, ID or name in order to scam others.

Never ask someone to contact you through a friend’s phone. There have been several reports of people being scammed by the person’s friend. You can be held responsible.
If someone asks you to contact them through some one else’s phone you should take care.

Some people claim that their photos and name are being illegally used by scammers. Always ask to see the person on cam to check they are the same person in the photos. Of course, just because they faces match doesn’t not necessarily mean the person won’t scam you.
Travellers tips
Safety Issues
It is advisable NOT to come to Ghana just to meet someone you met online. However, if you are travelling here and wish to meet someone then read the following advice.
If you are travelling to Ghana never let anyone know the date you are arriving and your flight information. Do not allow them to meet you at the airport – you might find they arrive with the police to arrest you.
If you bring them to your hotel or house you may find they will return with the police. The hotel may also alert the police.
Do not go to the guy’s house. They may have their gang waiting to beat you up. It is better to meet them in a public place although we have several reports of people being kidnapped in full view of the public, including on Labadi Beach.
If you have sex, keep track of the used condoms – they can be used as evidence against you.
Stay away from people who live in Tema, Christian Village, West Legon, West Land, Achimota and Nima. These are places known for criminal activity.
Never send money. It only encourages them! Don’t allow them to book your hotel, organise visas, etc. You may find you never see them or your money again.
Further Info for non-Ghanians
Scammers getting wise
Many more people are becoming aware about the locations where the scammers tend to live. These are small communities where people have shared information about scamming and have seen some lucky people benefit from it.
So now the scammers are getting wise and won’t tell you these locations. So, instead of Achimota they might say Dome, instead of Tema they might say Pram Pram. These are nearby locations. So if you are not familiar with the geography of Accra you will not be aware. Caution must be taken and you can always try a Google search for the location and see if there is any information on it.
Is Ghana a Good Holiday Destination?
“i’ve read your webpage and I will never visit Ghana”
Many foreigners write to us and tell us they will never visit Ghana after seeing this web page.

Ghana is one of the most friendliest and safest countries in West Africa. Ghanaians love foreigners and you will feel immediately welcome here. It has a unique history from the Asaniti Empire to the old slave trade. There are many wonderful tourist attractions around the country for you to see.

If you were coming to Ghana only to meet someone you chatted with on line then we would advise you not to come. There are black people all over the world, so why come to have sex in a country where it is illegal?

Remember, most people in Ghana are not criminals. But some of the criminals that are here, are active on dating sites. Many are just amateurs hoping to get quick cash from gullible foreigners.

Internationally, Ghana is rated 10th for cyber-crime according to the 2007 Internet Crime Report – the USA and the UK were first and second!

Unlike the above we have no real proof about the following people. However, we have strong reasons to suspect they are not gay and are intending to beat and rob their victims. If any one has met with them please contact us.
horneynight on gayromeo and gaydar, was previously stepbyday and lovekriss

He is very anxious for you to visit him at Tema and quickly gets annoyed if you hesitate. These are all the classic signs of the scammer.

Now claims to be in his last year of study – I think he should ask for a refund! Just look at this hilarious level of English from his gaydar profile:

“am seeking for a daddy that will like to take me as his son daddy who is very kind quite with much caring. am less concern about the attitude age i will accept my daddy and also respect him please if any daddy is interested he can mail me for quick reply thanks.”

Hey – ever heard of punctuation!

Yahoo id: need_man1
Looks as stupid as he sounds!
Leoland Wilson
trumu2trumu on gayromeo.

Present on many other websites too and changes his profiles often.

Almost certainly straight from abusive messages he sent. Also his name, trumu2trumu, is an insulting term for gays.

He claims to have been thrown out of his house for being gay so now stays with his friend who hates gays. His profile says he’s from Kumasi but he is actually in Tema. He asks to meet you straight away and claims he will hire a room in a guesthouse.
Exercise extreme caution.

Just in it for the money
Hey we all need help from time to time and there’s no harm in asking, right? When you’ve been with your partner for a long time it’s good to help each other out but the following guys are too fast to request money.
Check Kwajo’s blog in the links below for more money boys.
Benjamin Tetteh
A good guy turned bad.
Ben is also known as ************ on gayromeo and gaydar.
He is probably just ‘gay for pay’ and he certainly is looking for anything that will get him out of Ghana.

For example, on this website

http://www.topix.net/forum/topstories/TLDI4NFTT1MGKM1CU/p57

he writes:
“am a gentle,honest,sexy ,romantic black guy seeking for a white woman to be with for the rest of my life,,,”

In his gay identity he wrote:
“i have been in this game all my life..
have lots of whites who we can tackle them massively..but now want to hit real big money.”

And that’s just what he did. He managed to persuade a well-meaning Australian man to set up a recording studio for him. You think he would have been satisfied. Not our Ben – he then attempted to scam his benefactor. The full story can be read at:

Cramer-Krasselt is the fourth largest advertising agency in the United States, likely responsible for some of the commercials you’ve seen if you watch any television. This past June, they published their second “Cultural Dictionary”, 2009 version (0.7 MB PDF). You can download it by clicking on the link, though please be a scuppie and don’t print it out, or just bookmark this post for faster future reference, which was why I’ve extracted the text.

The Cultural Dictionary is divided into nine categories, with the words in each in alphabetical order: economy, environment, ethics, personalities & relationships, politics, street slang, social networking, stress & life, technology. I have separated them below for easy navigation since it’d be a long post to read all at once otherwise, though definitely worth the time!

A lot of the terms are quite hilarious and clever, and are quite hip, I must say. However, I also must say that in their research regarding terms involving President Barack Obama’s name, they didn’t give me credit for some of them… not the least the term Obonics, which I coined to summarize all the Barack Obama slangs and expressions. Maybe the term hasn’t caught on, but Obamazon certainly has as it was in the dictionary. When I Googled it back in January, not one result came up! I had it first online, at least, which was where they got a lot of their words anyway. Pity!

But here is the list of about 150 words that made the Cultural Dictionary. They had a few pages on trends which I did not include because I didn’t think they’d last. You’d be caught unhip for using them whereas I think these words will remain hip for at least a little while longer.

And hey, if you’re learning English as a Second or Foreign Language, you’d be ahead of the native speakers using these terms! You can also do small exercises with these words by having students explain a small group to the class, or as assignments. There are a LOT more boring words I could easily think of to do such exercises with compared to these ones!

Movie Synopsis

Tala, a London-based Jordanian of Palestinian origin prepares for an elaborate wedding with her Jordanian fiancé, when she encounters Leyla, a young British Indian woman who is dating her best friend Ali. Spirited Christian Tala and shy Muslim Leyla could not be more different from each other but the attraction is immediate. Tala’s feisty nature provokes Leyla out of her shell and soon both women reveal their feelings for each other. But Tala is not ready to accept the implications of the choice her heart has made and escapes back to Jordan where her chain-smoking high-brow mother finishes preparations for an ostentatious wedding. As family members descend and the wedding day approaches, simmering family tensions come to boiling point and the pressure mounts for Tala to be true to herself. Meanwhile heartbroken Leyla relishes her newly found sense of identity and self-respect and moves on with her new life – much to the shock of her tradition-loving Indian parents. Single again, Tala flies back to London – but it will take more than just a date set up by Ali and Leyla’s sister Zara to win Leyla back.
