Joe,
I just saw the pic you posted.
If you don't realize that's a scammer... Sigh.
Women who look like that do not approach men, especially on social media sites.
Someone who looks like that wouldn't have to.
That. is. not. the girl. who is talking to you.
One of the best protections I know against catfishing is to be realistic. I was on dating sites for several years, and I knew the men who approached me that had pictures looking like models were not real. I don't attract anyone like that in real life--there's no way I'm going to somehow magically find a unicorn just because I jump into the online community.
One of the guys who tried talking to me eventually admitted he was married, and supposedly posted his "real" picture--and he was anything but a model.
I don't mean that as a criticism at all, I'm just saying--he was very much enjoying all the attention from women who wanted to believe that he really looked like that, just as this girl is doing to you now--and probably wants you to give her money as well.
