Be aware of this name and of these emails and numbers. This a well designed scam and I would like people to know about these scamers. I was lucky I didn’t send them money because they made a mistake Removed information educating a scammer. (BW)
Scam works that they ask you to come down to Ghana to sign the contract or send a lawyer, they will recommend you a lawyer and fees will be around $9000 that's the first 9k they make, then they will ask you for taxes of 40,000 before they can release the payment of 80% deposit for the order, all in the name of the Ghana government etc.
In the end as a reminder here are the contact details of the scamers
