    Well, common sense tells me that you shouldn't send money to someone you don't know.

    It very well could be a scam. This happens a lot these days.

    The likelihood this is a scam is about 90%. If she is asking for money for her studies, ask for info about the school. If she is legit and you want to help, pay directly to the school.

    Good thought. I didn't think of paying directly to the school :)

    But they willl only form some fake school, they have fake orphan homes set up on paper, and more, they fake pass ports and more.

    Your nations embassy there may check out the school.

    But I would go with abut 99 percent chance of fraud,
    How did you get together on a myspace or a Yahoo singles or some dating site?

    Yes, before you send any money to the school, you will need to confirm its reality. But I think you will find she backs off when you mention that.

    Yes, when I started dating again this year, I tried using a well known online dating site. I received at least 2 Africa love letters a week. And yes it was a wonder that a 20 or 25 year old lady would love a old man,

    Further to this if, after you inquire as to the school, she goes on the offensive questioning your love, that would be a red flag.

    It's a computer generated email, ignore it. Send no money.

    In other words, it IS a scam.
