I am still doubting that she is American. Her English is atrocious. I mean, is it really possible that an American native can be so stupid? Or maybe she is retarded. Or a Russian scammer. Weird.
When I read that with a Vietnamese accent in my head, it totally makes sense. Huh.
Yes, it is possible for a native American to be that stupid…but she doesn’t use English like a native speaker. I’d bet on scammer, myself.
Some people are dyslexic and simply cannot type or write for shit even if their spoken English is good. This may be the case with her. When you combine dyslexia with someone who’s just not very smart, then…you have something like this.
I know—I just can’t shake the strange grammar myself, or the fact that she asked me questions about myself that could easily be answered by reading or observing my profile information. But what is to be gained by masquerading as an American? Let’s say I take the bait and tell her that I want to hook up with her. What is the mark going to think when “Chanelle” suddenly switches tack and informs him that her name is actually Olga Horshitovich and that she needs airfare to the Land of the Free in exchange for a little one-on-one summit conferencing?
Oh, she won’t say that she needs airfare from overseas, but it’ll be airfare from Tuskegee, and she’ll need childcare expenses, and probably some other expenses. She’ll have SOME reason why she needs money from you NOW in order to come see you and cement your relationship.
I don’t do Facebook, but I should think this exchange rather sums things up.

Whoever it is, she is clearly speaking English as a second language. It doesn’t sound Chinese or African to me. I’d put my bets on South-East Asia.
The whole “kid” angle is kind of creepy. You’d think most love scams would emphasize not having a kid.
In Cameroon, the only people who could afford the cyber cafes were young ladies running love scams. They’d come in and spend the whole day at it, as sure as an office worker goes to work. The cyber cafes were set up with webcams specifically for them. It was basically shift work for them.
Simi Valley, Canada? 
I’d also say she/he/it is not American. My guess is that it would turn into a dating scam, where you pay to see pics or send money to her for a plane ticket or to help with her kid’s medical emergency or whatever.
Its not always 100% guaranteed to be spam. Some time ago I received the following e-mail
(names and emails have been changed, but it was an email address I had never seen before )
Four years later we got married.
This is obviously a scam. She is pretending to be from Alabama. Notice how you told her about 4 times that you were married, but she kept asking nonsense follow up questions?
Her scam will be sending her money for plane tickets/bus fare/train fare to come out to California and see you. Buy the ticket for her, you ask? She will have some reason why that isn’t plausible (crazy ex-boyfriend, Something Came Up at the Last Minute, her ID was stolen) she just needs money sent to a numbered overseas “secret” account that is there for her to escape her hellish torment.
Keep talking to her. It will be fun. Tell her that you just had a fight with your wife and need her company.
Buck Godot married a Nigerian scammer!
Holy Batscam, I think it’s Chanelle! I’m serious—look at this pic of “Asya.” Now look at this pic of “Chanelle.” See the unusually high hairline on the red-haired girl? I think they’re both the same girls!
Probably would have been cheaper to just send her a blank check 
Just getting your money every week claiming its for groceries or some other made up expense…
Drawn on what bank?
Oh, this is too fucking funny. I didn’t even scroll down and see this one! Now look at this one. It’s even the same goddamn outfit! My little Alabama honeysuckle is really a Vorkutan tundra bunny!
Possible. But I’d say not quite fractured enough for your typical Thai. Maybe a Filipina? Or … a Filipino.
Oh yeah, that is definitely her.
You should have a little fun with her, ala 419Eater!
