OK so here is the tale of woe . My very dear friend started online dating at mate1.com a woman approached him that she was born in russia moved to the US and mom joined the peace corps when she was 12 and was relocated to Benin Africa. OK so all the signs are there...she is beautiful and not very articulate. they have been in communication for approximately 3 months she wants to come here and be his wife. All of her emails are profoundly romantic but she is supposedly a hairdresser in Benin goes to church ect. She has sent him a copy of a medical certificate from Kwame medical center which I cant locate by a dr A.O. kingsley which I also cant locate and travel information from a k travels and tours with a gmail address that I also cant locate . I am 100% certain he is being scammed and I need some help to prove this because he is as hard headed at they come lol. thoughts or suggestions I am open to . I have ran the 5 photos and no hits .

Thanks
Julie

Julie,

Can you post the photos here or at least send them by PM? If she is beautiful, it is likely the photos were stolen from a modeling or a porn site. There are literally millions of model profiles online, so it is essentially impossible to perform a complete search for them. However, there are a few modeling sites that are used more than others, and certain porn stars are frequently used, so it is possible we will recognize the person in the photos.

Also do you have her profile name, the name she is using, and/or her email address? Do you have a copy of the medical certificate you can post?
