Q：I have been single for many years and never been married. I'm now in my 50s and desperately trying to find someone. I have joined an online dating service and have met some local women, but nothing has clicked. Many women overseas, particularly from Ghana, for some reason, have approached me. Usually, these are women in their late 20s to early 30s who are looking to get into this country. Some of them seem to have been in abusive relationships. Some are ready to go to bed with me as long as I am willing to give them what they want. Are they simply using sex to get ahead? Am I paranoid or is that the way things are today? Suspicious of International Relations A: I hate to break it to you, but chances are these women from Ghana are not using sex to get ahead nor are they coming from abusive relationships. The fact is, they're probably not women at all, but part of a larger Internet scam operation that is preying on your loneliness and desperation. Why Ghana? It is one of a handful of countries from which these types of Internet scams originate. You are being conned. Do not, I repeat, do not ever send any money to anyone who contacts you internationally by email requesting money in exchange for companionship. There are plenty of legitimate dating sites and lots of other ways to meet women. Nothing may have clicked for you but don't let your discouragement, frustration and loneliness make you an easy target for these types of scams. Hit delete and move on.
