After a Google search I found several results based on her screenname of her asking the same question to different guys as far back as August of 2005! I am not sure if this is even a real female, but one can only imagine how many poor smucks fall for this story and offer up their (or parents) cash. After I confronted her with links to the articles I found during my Google search she, for some unknown reason, stopped typing to me.
