thanks for your quick reply, i have looked it up, and when i phone, its not a shipping company, they do have a website, but its not a good one for business. I guess these people are scammers and thieves.

I have been asked to send a package to this same address (60 Mango Tree Ave), to a diplomat. This person is claiming to be in the U.S. Army. He wants strange items sent, T-shirts, basketball, soccer ball, candy. I thought he was a soldier in Afghanistan, but am worried about this address and what he may be involved in. If anyone else has been asked to do this please comment.

60, Mango tree Avenue is listed in the GhanaWeb site as a courier service - IAS Ghana Federal Express (Fedex). How true, it's anybody's guess.

Sounds like you have all the ingredients in that recipe for cooking up a mighty scam. Online dating site is one of the most popular haunts for such tricksters. Beware and good luck.

There are too many of these scumbags and their modus operandi differ. Sometimes, they (males and females alike) work alone and most of the times, they belong in a syndicate.

Walk into any of the country's internet cafes and spend just a few minutes to observe what normally goes on inside. In most cafes, you may see these syndicates "live" in actions.

Good luck

It is definitely a scam. I was contacted by a M******l K*******g claiminf to be a diplomat. He even asked for an additional $385 to pick up the package from the post office. He was supposed to be delivering to a soldier i met on OK Cupid dating site. He was supposedly stationed in Afganistan, Kabul. So please ladies beware! They obviously been doing this a long time.
