Okay - a friend of mine who has been enduring an ongoing midlife crisis (yup - he's got a Porsche...) has been corresponding via the internet with a girl from Russia. He says she got his web address off a matchmaker site he subscribed to.
I found out this weekend that he's already sent her $$ for plane fare. Assuming she actually shows up (his philosophy is that it's only money, and that he can afford it), could this likely be part of a larger scam? Is there anything I should be watching out for as his friend? I'm worried, since he's run into some problems in the past regarding women preying upon him.
