You can be held responsible.If someone asks you to contact them through some one else's phone you should take care.Some people claim that their photos and name are being illegally used by scammers.

Safety Tips Submitted on 2008-12-29 19:27:53 (modified 2008-12-29 19:33:12) How not to get beaten up and robbed Take great care when meeting people on line. Below are some of the things scammers have said to people when arranging to meet them:
Sometimes they might text you a sexy message and ask you to respond. If you text back something sexual they can use that as evidence against you with the police. Yahoo chats and your online photos can also be used as evidence against you. Also get suspicious if the person is in too much of a rush to meet you.
How the Scammers Work Submitted on 2008-12-24 10:06:56 If you look at the online dating sites, you will notice that many of the guys from Ghana claim to be as young as 18. Many of these people are not actually gay. The ones that are, may not be genuinely looking for what they claim. The pictures are often fake and their profiles may well be copied from other peoples. The usual scam is to tell you a sad story and ask you for money. For example, they may say they are orphans, could not finish their education or need money for hospital bills. If you are a foreigner, their second scam would be for you to get them to marry you in your country. It is very difficult to get visa's for Ghanaians, particularly the ones you meet on the internet who are young, unemployed and uneducated. You will spend a lot of money trying. We hear many stories of people who have succeeding in getting their Ghanaian boyfriend to their country only to have them leave them for a woman. The most dangerous scam is for them to persuade you to meet them. This can result in you being arrested, kidnapped or beaten up in an attempt to extort money from you. A lot of Ghanaians have headed off to Tema for a night of fun only to find their date brings his thugs to attack them and rob them. Very recently a foreginer was effectively kidnapped on Labadi Beach in the middle of the day. He was held for 5 hours whilst the gang, including a policeman, attempted to extort money from him.
online gay dating fraud Submitted on 2008-12-23 20:47:50 In Ghana, On-line criminals are targeting men who have sex with men (MSMs). They aim to extort money through kidnapping, violence and use of Ghana's archaic colonial law.As homosexuality is illegal in Ghana, MSM's have no protection under the law and reporting a crime can lead to the victim being criminalised.Furthermore, the police often work with the criminals to extort money and therefore cannot be trusted.
