Fraudsters in Ghana are deliberately targeting British women in online scams as retribution for colonialism, a report has claimed.

Accra, Ghana’s capital, is a hub for gangs of cyber criminals, known as Sakawa Boys, who pose as white men on Facebook to manipulate affluent Western women into entering a relationship.

The native British men are not good enough for these women.

"gangs of cyber criminals, known as Sakawa Boys, who pose as white men on Facebook to manipulate affluent Western women into entering a relationship."

The women are racist because they're not interested in non-white guys. /s

No sympathy for people that stupid.

Hey, the colonialism excuse makes for a not so good cover story. It is nothing but theft.

A good British gal wasn’t good enough for Prince Harry or maybe they caught on to his low IQ and selfishness.

Sakawa Boys,

Not as rowdy as the Van Buren boys

Pretty good reasons for their behavior. During colonial days the British forced the Africans to kill and enslave other African tribes, and to sell their slaves to the slavers. They also held the African tribes down, refusing to let them market their advanced designs and technology (aircraft, computers, skyscrapers, air traffic control systems, etc.) to European countries.
