A Massive African Immigration Scam worth up to US $1.2 Million?

The comments made below were spotted on a Ghanaian web site and were made by a Ghanaian posting from the USA.

149 passengers. (Some reports say 153.)

Paying between US $6,000 to $8,000 each.

That’s a massive immigration scam worth anywhere between US $894,000 to US $1,224,000.

These Africans who are “stranded” in Barbados receiving handouts and sympathy from Bajans may not be the “poor victims” that they are purporting to be.

Bajans BEWARE!

I can’t believe am reading this story… I happened to be in Ghana to watch the African Cup of Nation when i friend in Tema told me one of our classmate is leaving for Barbados. To make a long story short, the plan was when they get to Barbados, someone is suppose to arrange for them to go to America and if all else fails end up in Canada.
We discuss this in lengh and i told him it might be very difficult trying to get all the passenger to the U.S.
This people payed between 6000.00-8000.00 dollars for this trip.
He told me he was interested in going too. i told him to be careful becausem it might end up being a scam run by Ghanaians and Nigerian nationals.
my point is the organizers should all be jailed for stealing peoples HARD EARNED money and selling them false hope. Am just upset that someone that i know is a victim of the scam…. SHAME SHAME SHAAAAAAAME!!!!! SHAME ON YOU.
