Do Missionaries usually have their passports kept by the church when they are in Africa. I messaged someone on Plenty of Fish earlier this week and they claim they need $820 for a laptop and internet for five months in Nigeria. When I asked for a photo of her passport to prove her identity she said all forms of ID are taken for security reasons. I'm stating to feel like I'm being scammed, which is unfortunate because whoever this person is seems very intelligent.
