This appears to be a West African scammer, in Cambodia, trying to pull a 'refugee' scam. The IP is correct for Cambodia. You are not in contact with the person in the pictures, claiming to be a Japanese lady in Cambodia.
Dear JamesThis scammer also uses the name 'Tomiko'., I am very happy for your quick response to my message. I don't have webcam depending on my current accommodation in Cambodia. How are you today? I hope fine. I am not too good due to my suffering condition here in Cambodia. I am single and never married, 5ft 8 inches tall, 55kg weight, Asian hair and brown eyes. I am of Japanese origin but presently in Cambodia. I do not know anyone in Cambodia and I am residing in a church orphanage home here in Cambodia as a result of the earthquake and tsunami disaster that happened on the 11 March 2011 in north-east Japan. I lost my parents during this deadly tsunami. My family was among the first target of tsunami. My late father was a successful businessman and he has two hotels close to river where the tsunami carried everything away. I am the only person in my family that was not at home because I was at the boarding school in Tokyo. Due to this all my family members including my elder sister were gone in a cold blood and our family houses gone. I was lucky that I escaped death because I was in boarding school when this deadly incident took place. I am the only person surviving and I managed to make my way to Cambodia and this is my first time to visit this country and I don’t know anyone here. I am staying now and never hope to go back to north-east of Japan again, even sometimes I look through the web pages and I cry all day. Below is the link to view the full story. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/12/world ... wanted=all I would like to know more about you. Please tell me about your love life, previous and present relationships and hobbies. I will tell you more about myself in my next mail. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours, Sothera
West African scammers are present in many Southeastern Asia nations. They drift there on real and fake visas, pulling shady business deals on locals, and also scamming anyone via the internet.
You must demand to see a face on webcam. This filters out many of the scammers using stolen pictures.
Never send money to somebody you only know from the internet, or phone calls.
The West African scammers in Asia increasingly will recruit a local Asian lady to make phone calls for them, pretending to be the person in the pictures they send, and the story they tell.
Many men have lost thousands of dollars in these scams.
