okay most of you already know about this story but i can't stop thinking about this and i'm a little worried.
some notes:
======================================
* 38 years old asian (vietnamese) woman / raised in america (texas, houston)
* very nice and polite (old fashioned)
* spoken on webcam many times, she looks her age. 6/10 maybe.. not bad.
* apparently she's a virgin (been with guys but never serious.. not even had a proper kiss ... weird but meh - focused on her career most her life before settling down with a man which is why she's still a virgin)
* wants to get married and fall in love
* she's very wealthy (seen pics of her house / legit, cause i seen on webcam) pics of her car, out front her house (looks like a nice neighborhood)
* she works at du pont (some kinda scientist lab job dealing with plastic or something (i dont remember when she told me what exactly - http://www2.dupont.com/DuPont_Home/en_US/index.html)
* works 12 hours everyday, 6am to 6pm or something.
* known her for about half a year so far - met while playing an online game on ps3
* she likes me very much (she gets sexual in our conversations too)
* shes on facebook, talks to my friends and has, so they know her mostly from online gaming.
* she is on the ps3 often (so she's a definite gamer)
* keeps telling me she wants me to teach her how to kiss and do other things
* asked if i wanted to be pen pals with her and if i wanted to give her my address to send letters - she sent a package + the letter. towel, shirt, dvd, audio cd, hard drive for the ps3 (her old one - 120 GB) which i really needed! and of course a card/letter - nothing special just a cute small letter. no psycho crazy stuff. the package itself was $22 + everything inside must of been another $50 i'll guess.
* we don't chat that much anymore because i have become a lot busier these days plus seeing someone which she doesn't know. sometimes she'll post something on my wall or once in a blue moon message me. sometimes we chat on msn.. maybe once a week. audio/webcam sometimes too.
* the only thing that makes me not think she's creepy is that she never really talks about the trip or money. i have to talk to her about it in order for us to talk about it. so if she wanted to murder me or do something weird, she would keep hassling me to come and remind me. which she doesn't. otherwise i'd of thought something was definitely up.
* have her full real name. there's an address on the package but she said it was her friends (this is early stages of knowing her) i think it's really hers she just didn't want me to know.
* seen her talk to her friends (some from her work) on facebook - they seem to know her well
* have seen many pictures of her going out with friends, mostly older people though, just seems like an average woman who goes out sometimes for a dinner/coffee with friends and works her ass off.
* when we talk it's just a feeling i get from her that she's legit. she just has this sincere mature voice - i dont know its just that gut feeling you get when you talk to someone and you just know they're a good person. then again, could be wrong.
things she told me on msn
* "If we get along...and like I said, we don't have to fall in love...just get along, we can still travel other places together.."
* "I have people proposing. But, the timing wasn't right. I wanted to build a career. I let them slipped away."
* "They are married and have kids."
======================================
now on to the free trip details
======================================
* she admits this is the craziest and weirdest thing she's ever done. but she makes it a tradition that every year she does something nice for someone.
* she has already sent me money a couple weeks ago to pay for my passport/visa ($450)
* she is going to send more money to pay for the flight
* she sounds really excited about me going there and tells me she will take me to florida, new york .. baseball games, broadway shows and other places. we are going to meet this other guy that i know from online in new york with his sister. she knows the guy too. very nice guy.
* i am to stay with her in her house (apparently a month or more depending on me) and in a rented out condo somewhere else.
* she stated shes doing all this for my birthday, which is in july
* before all this she asked me one day "if i paid for your ticket would you come here?" i didn't think anything of it at the time and just said "sure" - the original plan was for her to come here but shes so busy with work i guess me going there would be better. plus i never been anywhere else.
* she will pick me up at the airport
* wants me to visit her family (i have seen pictures) p.s. - her sister is hot and younger.
* told me i don't have to go and that i could just wait until she comes to visit me next year (i doubt that is even gonna happen - by then i'll probably be deep in a relationship with the girl im seeing now)
* i spoke to a friend last night and he said he would come with me for the first week or two just to be on the safe side. but it would just be back to square one when he goes back. he said he'll only go if she paid for his ticket too and i don't think that will happen haha. (she knows him too)
======================================
ok i'll keep trying to update things if i remember any notes. please remember this is all based off what i know and what she's told me. i'm not agreeing with what she says or believe everything.. it's just to show you what i'm dealing with so don't go burning me for this. i'm just trying to truly decide if i should pass up this once in a lifetime opportunity. for those of you thinking "SCAM" i don't see how as i'm broke and she's already sent me clean cash in hand money that was easy to obtain. she's the one who's at risk of getting scammed. i also told my mother about it and she's pissed at me lol. she thinks she's gonna kill me when i get there.
my thoughts on this? i think she's legit. i don't think she's a psycho or a killer but i do think she has an idea in her head that we are going to fall in love and get married. i need to make a decision soon because it takes a while to get passports done and book flights.
