Had a good long chat, what you up to, do you get out, any relatinship etc. To cut a long story short he said he's been chatting to a woman on some web site, i said Facebook, twitter, tinder etc. He didn't answer but on his phone showed me a picture of her!
Drop dead gorgeous, he said she's 37, he's 66 well overweight, balding etc. I said how long have you been chatting to her, since September he said, oh where does she live, Living in Ghana he said at the moment had gone to sell a property she'd inherited, but was living in Stevenage when he 1st started chatting to her. Well he's well and truly besotted and told me she's coming over to stay with him in December.
Showed me more pictures of her, stunning looks a bit like the original Wonder woman Linda Carter, jet black hair, big boobs fantastic figure etc. I said you dont actually believe that picture is her do you, without being funny you're not a Geoge Clooney look a like, have you shown her a genuine pic of yourself, yes he said. Apparently he's going to pick her up from the Airport. I'm genuinely worried for his safety, as have a feeling that someone else is going to turn up, possibly a nigerian/ghanain who knows, he has no family or close friends left. Im worried that he'll meet someone, take them back to his house and she/he will drug him and take everything he's got, possibly his identity.
What do you think i should do, thought i might follow him to the airport and if this 37 yo woner woman turns up thought id get in 1st and pretend to be him take her back to my place!
But seriously, he's besotted, the person even messaged him whilst i was with him, what should i do?

A pensioner who goes in my local is involved in something similar.he s been chatting to a woman in the states who in the photo she sent him looks mid thirties & v.attractive.i asked him if he’d sent her a photo & he showed me a picture probably 30 yrs old where he looks like Tom sellick in his prime,he now looks more like Albert steptoe.hes planning to go see her this Xmas,but says he doesn’t want to send a recent photo in case it frightens her off.peoples brains seem to go out of the window in these situations
its that old saying ...when the co@k gets hard the brain goes soft
he showed me a picture probably 30 yrs old where he looks like Tom sellick in his prime,he now looks more like Albert steptoe
Thanks stewy, hope you are well and winning mate, as said above it soooo obviously a scam only a standing c0 ck or very lonley person would fall for it. I'm sure someone on here could tell you hpw to find 'lifted' or 'stock' snaps. I dont know, soz. 
^^
"lift or stock" snaps? Ask some Uber drivers they've been at it for years to fool Tfl and customers.

I know it's a scam, think he knows it's very likely a scam, but wants to find out. Has always lived on his own since his parents died 20/30 years ago maybe, and doesn't go out much, probably haven't seen him for 8 years or so myself, luckily we have arranged to go for a drink before the date arrives, will try to talk some sense into him. I'm assuming that he hoping some bird will turn up, probably doesn't really think will look like photos but if shes half fit, could get himself into a lot of trouble.
It beggars belief that people get taken in by stuff like this. Not that you nedd one one to know it's a scam, but the give away is that she's gone to sell a property she'd inherited. She'll need money whilst she's waiting for the sale to go through.
What you can try and do is go back to your friend and try once more to make him see sense.
A quick google and I found this:

"After a few weeks of sweet talk, there comes the inevitable hook: Your friend needs your help.
You may be asked to send money for some personal emergency or a plane ticket to come see you. The scammer may say that he or she is unable to cash a paycheck due to working overseas: Let me send you my check — you can cash it and then wire-transfer the money back to me. The check looks genuine, but in fact it's counterfeit, and you can be liable for funds that you send to your friend — and perhaps arrested for check fraud.
Other scammers will ask you to join in phony business ventures. Romance cons often involve "reshipping" schemes, in which you're sent merchandise purchased with stolen credit cards and told to forward it to an overseas sweetheart.
There's a new twist that Sluppick says is "growing by leaps and bounds" (though firm statistics are few because victims are usually too embarrassed to report it): Romance scammers are claiming to be soldiers in order to target patriotic women of all ages. "I even heard from the Army about the photograph and identity of an actual retired general being used in an attempt to scam older women," says Sluppick.
Whatever the angle, if you fall for the first come-on, you'll get follow-up pleas until you wise up or run out of money. After that, you'll never hear from your sweetheart aga"

If you have access to the pic, Google has a tool that lets you do a reverse image search for it.
But the pic could easily have been lifted off of a facebook profile. That, provided the lifter was smart enough and didn't pick a public picture, won't show up in image search. Still worth searching the image.
Cheers fellas, i'll have to see if he'll let me, thanks.
TinEye is also a very good image search tool

Sending a text would establish if she's in the UK
Has it been all text/msg based? Do they speak on the phone?
Offer to accompany or drive him to the airport. You'll be able to suss out the situation and 2 people are always safer then 1

And, keep us posted. One of us could be next...with a bit of luck!
Yeah. I think Clydebank nailed it earlier. There will be a problem selling the house and money will be needed for a flight...
If shes flying into Manchester i will pick her up myself, black Linda Carter lookalike yes please

Good idea. Pick her up before she looks around Manchester and decides to take the first flight back to Ghana
She's not black, she's white, and from stevenage when she 1st contacted him.I Went to a funeral with him yesterday, told me she has said has already got her Air ticket and is bringing her pet Pug with her to stay!
She has said that dog only needs his inoculation certificates and no quarantine necessary.
Got rather angry with me at the wake afterwards, when old pals were showing each other photos of their wifes/girlfriends/children etc, i said show them the pictures of your girlfriend! Told me in no uncertain terms to mind my own business. Whether he was embarrassed or didn't want to be possibly ridiculed i dont know, but apparently he's meeting her Friday, so we will see, he'd rather got the hump with me but i did say to him if he wants to leave any sums of money/credit cards etc with me, until he was sure she's ok he could, but i don't think he will, will phone him on Sat to see if everything is OK.

"Currently, any dog, cat or ferret entering the UK must be vaccinated against and blood tested for the disease before being quarantined for six months."
6 months in quarantine costs how much?

ah hang on that's the old rules.
"Pets from unlisted non-EU countries such as India, Brazil and South Africa will be able to enter the UK if they meet certain strict criteria to ensure they are protected against rabies, including a blood test and a three-month wait before they enter the UK."

You must keep us informed! If it's all above board it will be the biggest shock since Rotherham came from 3-0 down to beat Solihull last night.
Some issue with the innoculation certificate seems to be where it's going for me. Maybe she gets stranded at a stopover airport.

I think he should play along and say how much he loves pugs and if she could send her a picture of her and her dog giving him a wave from Ghana he would be over the moon.
She won't turn up is 1.01
Expect to get a text saying there was an accident on the way to the airport and she missed the plane.
The money from the sale of her house has not arrived yet so she is stuck in Ghana with no money. Please can he send her money to pay for hotel and new ticket for the next flight which is in a couple of days time. £2k should do it

Is sshe in Ghana or Stevenage ffs.Going to be in st.Albans over Christmas, more than happy to aquaint myself with this sort if she's real
No fool like an old fool stewart! I'd sugesst you let him move her in and shag her when he is out
I do not think she'll show up either. It'd be extremely difficult to explain in person if one is different to that in the photograph. A sob story as an excuse most likely, with a request for a financial assistance to keep "friendship" ongoing.
It's highly likely a bloke. There are whole industries in Nigeria and Ghana for these types of things. See Yahoo boys or Sakawa boys.
There are so many possibilities for mishap with the house sale and the dog. Imagine if she has to stopover in Morocco/Spain/Portugal say and poor Dusty the dog has to be put down, unless she receives money to kennel him for 3 months.
Ghana and Nigeria are the fraud capitals of the world. It's the main occupation for some there as in Thamesmead, London.

Need an update on this,,got the fiesta topped up ready to go and collect this hottie
Thamesmead looked lovely in Clockwork Orange circa 1970
There won't be any update before the lady's arrival as OP himself will get an update from his friend on Saturday.
As i say, haven't spoken to him since Monday, but supposed to be picking her and her pug up from the Airport today, will ring him tmr to see how it went.
Lets hope the NHS will not be privatised. Don't want your mate to lose money on medical bills after next weeks election.
Tonight's the night!
Suggest you take him to the pub tomorrow lunchtime for a blow by blow account should he survive!
What a way to go though, can't think of any better!

so , picked up at about 2 pm ...no news since . suspect she has bagged the double ! betfair accounts empty tom am .
she seems to have moved on to liverpool, lfc1971 the next victim.
Hope he got out with only his pride hurt and not his pocket picked, and he's not feeling how I did when Andy didn't win IMAC 
Sorry for the delay in updating, but as i'd rubbed him up the wrong way at the funeral didn't want to appear to hasty in contacting him.
Messaged him Thursday night saying waiting for a taxi to take her and the dog to the Airport, got up Friday to receive a message from someone else purporting to be from a hospital near the airport, yes you guessed it, taxi had an accident on way to Airport and crashed, taxi driver killed, pug injured and a picture of Wonder woman on a hospital bed all battered and bruised and cut up. He used one of those google finding reverse links you gave me to look for the exact photo, and it was a picture of Katy Hopkins in hospital last year after some accident or fall or whatever with this girls picture super imposed on it!
He messaged back asking why she'd sent him a fake picture and the scam quickly unravelled. Even made her talk to him and sounded nothing like the girl he'd spoke to(or had heard speaking before), said could hardly understand her ghanain accent!
Anyway he's now found out who "Wonder woman" is actually, yep an american pornstar going by the name of Briana Lee, you can see her on brianalee.com.
Don't think he's too hurt or upset as think he'd realised was a fair chance was a scam but he still went to the Airport just in case!
Never mind, but we warned fellas, no fool like an old fool, seeing him Thursday so he's OK!

Tell him never mind he still can have a jerk off with the pic she sent him.
'stewarts rise', just as we predicted. No harm done to your friend, that's the most important thing. Send him our regards when you next see him.
Anyone else got a story like that, almost as good as The Sopranos!
Went out with him last night down the local pub for a meal. Apparently has had another message initially from the same international number as the original, but from someone else who'd like to meet him!
He said No thanks!
He said No thanks!
Tell him to come to Thailand, beautiful girls and for a couple of thousand baht they'll make you believe they love you.
Reminds me of a lesson I learnt (when 16 yrs old) at Sandown. a professional scammer who I got to know said the same thing as a 'gang of train riding card sharps...'son it's childs play to scam. A greedy man' wether it's sex,desperation, or money, almost scams himself'.
Sooooo true
Sooooo true
Driver problem is over there, you usually don't know what you're getting until it's too late!
Very true boxing, had a drink with him thursday, said aren't you interested in dating women of your own age, Not really he said, and to be honest i can understand that. The dream of what you can attain is usually far better than the reality. Told him rather that getting fleeced by some scammers buy one of those new moving talking not quite so plastic dolls a lot cheaper!

I was part of an elaborate scam sending instant results back to Ireland. Irish betting shops Back Then (by law did not permit loitering in their shops (There Were None in England by the way at that time) you had to place a bet and leave there was no commentary and results in small country villages took as long as 15 minutes to arrive. There were no Timed bets.
WE would 'soften them up' by making a loud splash and appear to throw money away over 3 days minimum and appear to be Stupid (Jackeens) Dubliners with more money than sense turnig up just on time to place a uselss bet. once we had extended this 'last minute style to a few minutes'me would hit them with the first winner over 10/1.
We would commendeer the telephone box near or in the track and if not in sight of the finish we would 'Tic Tac' the winning number to the phone box to relay the winner to Ireland by using an an incredible amount of 'silver' STd dialling had not been rolled ot country wide at that point, it was a person to person called via the operator.
We were banned from using some track phone boses, particulalry at stamford Bridge and Park Royal dogs. The box was tied up with stout leather strapping and I would cycle to the the nearest box to to give my co scammer the winner taking as long as 3 minutes over the offical starting time.
The 'gang were dreadful gamblers as was I,
and quickly lost any gains giving it straight to the 'Joe rooks' (bookies).
Th 'Red fellow' Terry Rodgers would fund us the means of continuing with the understanding we would hit his rivals shops Kilmartens. And not his. Happy daze.
I was not the messiah I was a very, very, naughty boy.

You should post these on the horse racing forum BTF to get a wider audience, you naughty boy!
Trouble is Driver a lot of those beautiful girls turn out to be Blokes!
A a senior flat capped policeman once accosted me at Birmingham races, I was in the Phone box at the time by stupidly opening the box door wider and saying I know you are playing the 'old soldiers game sending results back to your bookie. I told him I was talking to my mother in Ireland and to go away or I would call the police. He promptly fcked off, looking back I was lucky he didn't 'lift me' and have the crap beaten out of me, which happened back then.
Blimey Rirmingham racecourse has been closed for years, you must be older than me?
Yes stewart, I must be!, I am resigned to the inevitable I have no fear,I think if you are 'lucky' to live into seniour years mother nature provides us with that attitude.

I kicked the bucket 8 years ago, lucky to still be here and enjoying life, make the most of it you're a long time dead, i was 57 when i had a cardiac arrest, just 66 now.
Was thinking of knocking the horses on the head as took up so much of my time doing the form, backing, analysing afterwards. Thought i'd try to do more in my life, but as i've done it for over 50 years proved impossible, just try to get a better work/life balance now. Like you not worried about it, you can't be, at least i know there's nothing else to come afterwards!

'They' want me to go in and have a heart ablation to stop my atrial fibrillation I said please give that offer to a younger person who has a lot more life in front of them than me, "We are duty bound to ask you, and will again in 6 months" 
"She is clothed with strength and dignity and laughs without fear of the future" from the good book apperently, Quite like that.
Sorry lost my connection for a minute, 71 mate, cue incoming from the haters,
Maybe I should have it done as it would probably save the NHS money in the long run, IF there is a long run that is.
If you are otherwise in good health and have someone to look after you when you come out, i'd get it done, very good success rate and you'll feel better, 71 is nothing these days, my best mate is 74 this year, still works full time as a heating engineer and plumber and still gets p1ssed regularly, also still as hard as nails, get it done mate, you've probably got a good 15-20 years ahead.
lost connection and a very long post.
I'm 71 mate.

Sounds like he's come to his senses just before it was too late.
BRITAIN’S most married man has called off his engagement to planned wife number nine — an American 41 years his junior who he’s never met.
Ron Sheppard, 71, proposed to Rose Hans, 30, last month after a year-long online romance.
Ron Sheppard, Britain's most married man has called off his engagement to planned wife number nine
Ron hoped to tie the knot after a year-long online romance with Rose Hans — 41 years younger
The dad-of-eight had hoped to tie the knot with her after she had completed a nursing course in Ghana.
But the retired entertainments manager has now revealed that he’s pulled the plug.
Ron, of Somerton, Somerset, said: “We were supposed to meet on Friday. It didn’t feel like the right thing for me to do — especially when you don’t really love someone.
“She was doing all the pushing. It didn’t feel right in my heart. My love was always in a different place.”
Ron first wed in 1966.
His longest marriage lasted 13 years and the shortest just ten months.
