Is that US $? You can look at the airline to find the price of the fares. Is she getting a Ghanaian passport? That's not expensive but then she will need a visa for the US and you can also find the cost of that online. You can total all that to see how much it will cost but to me it isn't far from the price.

Of course there is no guarantee that once you send the money she will use it for air tickets etc. Scammers are clever and will perhaps realise you will check so ask for a reasonable amount.

Most likely, yes.聽 I'm not sure of how much the passport would be, but do know that the flight would cost a lot more than that.聽 Also, there are so many visa issues in Ghana, it's very unlikely that she's just planning to come like that.聽 I would not send the money.
