Personally, I'd like to think we're better (LOTS) than this.
Hard to believe really.

Mobsters ran a fake U.S. Embassy in Ghana for 10 years, flying the flag and issuing visas for $6,000

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/mob ... ailsignout

For a decade, an American flag flew outside a battered pink building in Ghana’s capital city, welcoming out-of-town visitors who, once inside, found a photo of President Obama hanging on the wall. Signs confirmed to travelers — who had been bused in from the most remote parts of West Africa — that they had arrived at the U.S. Embassy in Accra.
The “consular officers” working there were not Americans, but they spoke English and Dutch and issued official-looking visas and identification papers. They charged their customers $6,000.

disappointed

Wow.

Doesn't even seem like that would be possible.

How long before we find this out about the US Embassy in Phnom Penh? :stir:

i think the easier way would be open visa offices where there are real US embassy, and run the visa scams from "official" looking offices, and move the office every few months

This is the stuff of a brilliant comedy movie

The presence of a few honkies made the scam operation plausible

certainly once 'the donald' gets in office, things like this will cease.

of course they will!
