Back in July 2016, a victim got scammed during a fake romance involving a fake travel agency supposedly in China, but operated from Ghana. The details posted at that time saved recently someone else.

Received from another (almost) victim:

Thank you, your post on China Visa scams confirmed the attempt on me, lucky no money spent.
Mine fits in perfect, Filipino working in China, will only meet in USA and has boss who uses good travel agent who can arrange for visa (except when the travel agent responds to my e-mail they don't even have correct visa length or requirements). Agency has same domain owner and even almost the same name as several you gave.
