They use these fake agencies in 'visa and travel' internet romance scams involving fake Asian ladies who they have set up many profiles for on various dating sites.
The fake lady will contact men, profess love quickly, then express a desire to meet him in his home country, but does not have the money for the 'visa and travel'.
The lovesick man willl be directed to one of these fake agencies to pay the fees, which usually total thousands of dollars.
If the man seems overly gullible, he may be asked to pay additional amounts when the fake girl has some problems on the trip to meet him. She may be detained at an airport for some reason, lose her tickets or passport, or some other incident may occur which needs to be fixed dyby wiring a few thousand dollars.NO LADY WILL EVER SHOW UP AT YOUR LOCAL AIRPORT!
These scams are a little more effective since the scammer has various Asian ladies working for them who will make phone calls to the victim, pretending to be the la in the stolen pictures.
You are not in contact with the pretty lady in the pictures they use!
The lady will claim to work a low level job, often as a nanny, or other domestic. They will not show a face on webcam, using many excuses.
The West African scammers have set up hundreds of fake travel agency, and courier websites. It's impossible to list them all. New ones pop up monthly.
Do not send money! The method they suggest to obtain a visa to your country for a single Asian lady of modest means, is usually total fantasy. You can confirm this by checking with your government agencies.
You can't send money to somebody you meet online, and have them show up on your doorstep.
It doesn't matter if the person is in a distant country, or a few states away.
