It doesn't have to be a scam and the girl may simply not be able to afford the air fare!
About 9 years ago, I got chatting on the net to a lady in Russia - she was a lecturer in English at Chelyabinsk University, South Urals.
Her wage at the time was only about $100.00 per month, supplemented by private tuition which was still a pitance, so there was no way she could afford the flight costs here and instead wanted me to go out there to see her after a few months of chatting, web cam chats and telephone calls.
As I work for myself, I couldn't spare the time off so I sent her the money for a flight here and she duly turned up, so it's not always a scam! I had quite a few holidays in Russia which was great experience as I saw the real Russia out where she lived.
We became very good friends and still keep in contact today - so it's quite possible for it not to be a scam!
LOL. Friends? Yeah, you did well out of that one.
