The pictures of Liz Benson have been used in several other scams. See some of them in the Cynthia Sankoh story.

The documents are all fake. The telephone numbers do not belong to the bank, they are all mobile phone numbers.

3 months later R.S. informs me that her picture has been on the dating site http://rencontres.abidjan.net since october 2005.

Here she uses the name Koaussi Floriane.
