Well there's your mistake right there my friend...

Everyone knows that much gold should only be moved by boat!

Of course the chances of losing the lot in a tragic boating accident are extremely high. :o :P :lol: :lol:

This is a common "romance scam". So common in fact that the U.S. embassy in Ghana has a page on it:

United States citizens should be alert to attempts at fraud by persons claiming to live in Ghana who profess friendship or romantic interest over the Internet. Correspondents who quickly move to discussion of intimate matters could well be the inventions of scammer

Start by considering the fact that scams are common enough to warrant this warning. Next, look over this partial list of indicators. If any of them sound familiar, you are likely the victim of an internet scam.

* You met a friend/fianc online

* Your correspondent professed love at warp speed

* Your friend/fianc is plagued with medical problems requiring loans from you

* You are promised repayment upon the inheritance of alluvial gold or gems

* You've sent large sums for visas or plane tickets but the person cannot seem to make it out of Ghana

* When your friend does try to leave the country, h/she is detained by immigration officials demanding payment or bribes

etc.

From another site warning of this romance scam (OP may not believe us but he had better do his research):

* Scammer has 200 bars of 24K Ghanaian gold, left behind from her/his deceased Grandmother, each bar with a value of $16,000 dollars in the U.S. but had no value in Ghana. He/she (scammer) was to fly to the states with the gold and then the Immigration Customs Department at the Ghana airport called the victim. The (scammer) was arrested for trying to get out the country with undocumented gold.

In all cases the Ghana stories seem very similar: Gold. Deceased grandparent. Problem with customs.

Guys some helpful real discussion would be appreciated. An update, it looks like the purity may be only 22 Carat.

Your right!
Seeing as it's now only 22 carats I suggest you cut the tops off,stick them up your arse and convince customs they are a suppository carotene supplement.
I guarantee you'll be fine.
Best of luck!

Anyone else view this as a public service. Sort of a stupid/greed tax? Anyone who falls for this should be locked in the same cell as the perps IMHO

Hi,

I have a very interesting situation happening. My fianc has received an inheritance from her late father in the form of 22Kgs of gold bullion. The problems come it is that she is from Ghana. She has only an inheritance document stating that the gold was her property now. She managed to leave Ghana on Sunday night but got detained at Heathrow for the gold had no legal ownership or change of ownership from her father's name.

The gold cannot be returned to Ghana without attracting serious questions that really cannot be answered. So it appears the only practical answer is to have the gold transferred into my name and I take on full ownership of the gold. This is being done in Ghana now. My question then is as the owner of this gold and it is being transported by my fianc, she will have to declare it. Any idea what happens from there? Is there any way we could be penalised for anything? Is VAT still payable in Ghana? At any rate I welcome a discussion on this as I am very torn up about this.

Thank you in advance.:)

Baab1051,

The reason this thread is attracting the comments that it is, well, is because they're justified. Sorry.

As a professional gold dealer I've encountered several people with almost identical stories to yours, that invariably get asked to wire transfer fees, then shipping fees, then insurance fees, then customs release fees... the list goes on and the amounts get bigger until suddenly the promised 22kg of gold has "only" cost $40,000 or $60,000 in wire fees - and the girlfriend/fiancee never shows up and neither does the gold/diamonds/rubies/whatever they're promising. It's one of the most common romance/confidence scams going, and a very profitable one for the perpetrators. Also common to see this sort of scam with people claiming to be in the US military (one specific case was the female Air Force officer in Afghanistan who had 20kg of gold confiscated from the Taliban or some concocted story - "she" took a guy for about $50k).

Please take this as professional advice - this is a scam, walk away. Don't fly to meet. Don't send a single cent.

Even if it feels in your heart that it's genuine, it's not. People DO go to extreme lengths to cultivate relationships purely for fraudulent purposes - it may have even been months and months of relationship before the gold was even mentioned - or you may not even be in communication with the person you think it is. I know of an individual who had an office coworker relationship with a woman, she moved overseas, and before long had a similar "I've inherited gold, can you help me with finding a buyer" request come through via email - he was black and blue adamant that this was a trustworthy person, he knew and worked with her - turns out someone had hacked her email and taken it over, she was oblivious to it all.
