    At what point is this going to be a scam tho? I can't really see why shes going to ask for your bank details or credit card number or anything? And even if she does ask for your bank account details, what the fook can she do with your bank account number and swift code?

    And you thought Cote d'Ivoire was in France? Dude come on.

    I was always curious about this myself actually, when do they look for some vital details from you?

    I believe normal practice is to request a sum of money which is required to release the funds from the bank account.
