Romance scams are common enough in Ghana, and commonly enough directed towards US citizens, that the US embassy there has a web page warning about them.
If you type romance scam into your favorite search engine, you will find several news stories and other anecdotes describing such scams. If you add Ghana as a search term, you will find stories that resemble yours even more closely. Similar to advance fee scams, the basic method is to lead you to believe that you will get something that you want by parting with a reasonable amount of your cash. In that case, the purported benefit is even more cash, while in this case it is love.
