Watch out for 'visa and travel' scams from Cambodia!

'Visa and travel' scams are not common out of Cambodia, but they are starting to pop up. They appear to be conducted by West Africans who are residents of Cambodia. West Africans also conduct scams while living in other SE Asian countries, like China, and Malaysia.
The scammer will have a local Asian lady to help with the scam, usually answering phone calls from men they meet online, and posing as the girl in the stolen pictures they are using.
You will be asked to pay 'visa and travel' fees for the girl in the pictures to come meet you. The girl in the pictures the scammer uses is not involved in the scams. You will never meet her. The lady you may talk to on the phone is not the girl in the pictures! The person who picks up the money you send, is not the girl in the pictures. Your money is gone. It's a scam.

Both of the recent 'visa and travel' scams I've run into lately, involved the fake lady claiming to possess a passport, from Singapore, which if true, would make travel to the USA or other Western Country, possible. This is a scam. The passport you may be sent a scan of, is fake. The person you are in contact with is not the person in the pictures, but a black, male, West African, and his girlfriend, or helper.
Don't send money!
