There is an excellent discussion on detecting Russian scams on the website RomanceScam.com In the discussion there, the writer gives several tips on detecting scams. Check the headers to see where the emails come from -- the center of scam activity in the Ukraine is said to be in the Lugansk area. I believe, contrary to widespread opinion, that many of the girls there are poor enough that they legitimately need help with translation costs, especially if there are several letters a month. If a request comes in for money for any other reason, be extremely skeptical. Real emergencies do happen, but you are well-advised to look through RomanceScam's data base of scammers to see if this lady shows up.
At the same time, be a bit skeptical about scammer reports. They sometimes accuse women of using another person's photos, when, in fact, the lady in question simply RESEMBLES a celebrity -- and the authors are not careful about making sure that the photos are genuinely stolen. Make sure to get a WHOLE BUNCH of pictures -- including very intimate ones -- truly intimate pictures of celebrities are very hard to get, and are clearly posed when seen.
