    Are they asking you for money? Do they need money from you for passports, airline tickets, etc? If so, you're likely being scammed. Be careful.

    This is the most well known scams in the world,
    First I would be surprised if the person behind the emails is even a women, and if so, most likely several who take turns, after reading the profile and so on. It is a business down there, there are rooms full of operators who do nothing but email men ( and women) and tell them how much they love them.

    They then ask for 1000's of passports, for visa, medical tests, and more. It is all a scam.

    For reference, the visa and the passport both are less than 300 dollars, there is no requirement for any bank account to leave the country, and plane tickets can be done prepaid.

    They usually follow "scripts" in that one person handles the initial contact, the follow-up is then handed off to someone else and can often be more than one person.

    Sorry you had to hear the bad news from us but it is better that you heard it now rather than going through the money soaking that they do to you.

    Take care.
