Hi, please update on what has happened next? It is very doubtfull your friend would even get a visa! for the UK!! My husband is Ghanian and he tells me of these types of scams all the time. When he goes to the internet cafe they are all at it mostly men posing as women!! Even if you call them personally you are probably talking to their sister, girlfriend etc. Some guy approached my husband asking if he could use his bank account to transfer some money from a guy in the UK, he said he would give my husband a big cut of the money. This guy was posing as a woman on the internet and this poor UK man was gullible enough to send a massive amount of money. Talking a few thousand) My husband declined the offer and reported him to the police, The guy found someone elses bank account to use instead but later he was arrested. Luckily the guy from the UK got his money back.
