I would expect the woman in this situation is lonely, maybe has some psychosocial issues, does not have a supportive circle of friends, and is feeling captured by the attention and "love" being promised to her. In desperation, one can believe anything if it fills a hole in the heart. I hope the Sherriff's Office/Seniors Against Crime can assist.

Nice compassionate response. I like it. I have been receiving scams like this since 1998 or so. They have many modifications and most play on someone else's good intentions. The ones in 1998 were via snail mail and postmarked with Nigeria.
