She said it would cost 4000 dollars to come from africa to USA does this sound right?

Well, that screams SCAM to me. I wouldn't send it and I'd let Match.com know about it, too.

Sounds like a scam to me. What does she look like that she can't get a man in africa? Does she just want you to send the money or you make the reservations with a credit card? I don't think any man should pay for a long distance relationship. You just haven't found the right girl yet and when you don't look for her it will happen when you least expect it. I think the right girl hasn't come around yet because it's not your time for you two to meet. Don't be so anxious maybe if you do bring that africa chick down with you she won't be what you expect and you'll be out a lot of money .

It sounds like a scam, don't do it. I saw something about this on 20/20 a few weeks ago, except the victim was a woman. There is a ring of scammers operating out of third world countries, and probably Africa, asking for money to come to the U.S. They give fake phone numbers where anyone answers the phone and they tell you they love you and all that crap but keep asking them for money. I would report them to match.com.
It isn't even ethical to ask for money, she should be able to do it herself.

Not at all. if you are really to the pint where you wanna meet her, set up a flight reservation that can only be redeemed by her with proper id. It sounds like a scam- dont do it. You can even go to travel sites to check flight costs if you think the price is over the top

Those match sites you need to be very careful with. As for her wanting you to send money so she can come here. I wouldn't bother sending any money. You could end up losing money and not seeing her or your money again. I don't believe it cost that much to come from africa to the U.S.A.. There are people on those match sites that are not who they say they are. Becareful

Biggest scam in the book. Go ahead and send that money. You'll never see her. In fact you will be sending the money directly to the company that she works for. And after you send that money...she will ask for more for some reason or another...family sickness or some such nonesense. I don't mean to be rude. Sorry. But it makes my blood boil to see people cheating other people. I have a friend that plays along with them. Sends them on wild goose chases for money. Their stories are not real. They have loads of money and they make that money by scamming soft hearted people.

Sounds like a scam to me. There are plenty of women in the USA that are single. Surly you can find someone that is much closer to you.
I have a few of friends that have used online dating and they are well on their way to marriage if not already. Plus they all lived close to them.

To move, probably yes. But you don't want her to move here without actually meeting her in person do you? Buy her a round trip plane ticket, spend a few days with her, get to know each other before making such a huge commitment. Good luck!

why why why..
Why would you send 4000.00 to a stranger in another country..just so you can "date" them..
If she really wants to meet you, she will pay her own way, or ask you to fly over and meet her..
It sounds like the scam that desperate guys have fallen into for years...
You might want to do alot of research before doing this..
The research might cost a little, but could save you alot in the long run...

Oh my god. Its not true. And even if it were, you would have to be out of your mind to send a woman money to come see you. Its a scam!!
Find some women within wakling distance of yourself, and meet them at least 3 times before even buying them dinner!

It sounds like one of many scams to get your money.
I have faced the same scams. They get real vague when you ask specific questions.
Protect yourself, don't fall for it.
There are many women here in the states willing to treat a man right that is willing to treat her right.
