So I get this email...

So one day like any other I get this email from somebody named "wendy" I assume it's just junk mail. You know some email linking to a porn site. Instead it says:
:
Hey there, My name is wendy
I noticed your online profile i was wondering
do you have facebook or can we chat on IM?
I notice however that this email says it is being sent to blake_178@hotmail.com... my email is blackbomberman@hotmail.com
Well I'm really bored so I reply:
:
Who are you? How do I know your not one of those millions of girls on the net trying to sell something? Sorry if your not but this email is pretty left field.
I figure that it is just a fake person and that I won't get a reply later. But 9 days later, today, I get two emails from a different email address. These two emails are from someone named Evgenija. At first I had no idea they were linked to the first one. They were both titled Re: Facebook so I figured I was getting a friend request or something from somebody Wil(Max the Mug) knows. Seeing as the only person on my Facebook is Wil.
So I open it up to see:
:
evgeshi@clapmail.info[/email] ]
Oh!!! I forgot to attach my photos...
This is me )))

Evgenija mailto:evgeshi@clapmail.info

Seeing the thing at the bottom I realize this is from the same person and that it may indeed be someone just trying to chat with me on Facebook. I take a look at the two attached files to see quite a good looking woman.

Well now that I've seen these photos I can't help but to wonder who this person is and am looking forward to talking to her. But then I read the email that was below this one:
:
Hi my new friend
Im glad to see that you have decided to reply,I see it is very short letter.
It is all right because you are astonished to get my letter.
I want you to know that I have only good intentions and I have not any secrets.
The thing is that I will work in your country for three months or so and
I would like to meet a nice man to fall in love or just be closest friends.
I don't want to live in Russia because I have not any chances here,
it is hardly possible to explain from first time but I want you to know my
plans.
I will work in any shop, bar or restaurant the agency that i am going through
will suggest me some locations.
It will be my choice in the end as to what option to go for.
So I will have a simple work till I improve my English. And I can choose any
town of your area,agency will only help me to get a visa and all travel
documents + some suggested placed to work in.
My best friend last year met the man from the USA when she worked there for
three months, too.
She had two jobs. From morning till 4 pm she worked in amusement park and after
it she worked as a waitress in some bar till midnight.
She was very tired of course but made very good money there.
It is special programm for young people who wants to work abroad and I think it
is the right way for me ,
I am lost here,and I think that I look pretty enough to find a better place .I
want to repeat the same way,it is
only my chance to meet a nice man.I want to work in USA or in Europe or any
nice country. I am full of plans and different dreams and I want to share my
life with good man because I'm also full of love and tenderness,I know that
I am not so beautiful like Hollywood Princess but I do hope to meet my Prince
and
I am sure he will be not be disappoined to meet me in the real life! This is why
I am going to go through the same way.
Well,I will close this letter and I do hope to get your reply.
I will leave russia in two weeks or so (I can't tell you everything exactly
right now) and I would like tobe sure that I have the man who waits for me
there. I will work all day and I want to find a man to spend all free time
together to get to know each other better.if you have any interest to meet me I
will be more than happy to meet you too.
I will tell you all details about me and my life if you like my pictures and
want to meet me! please send picture of you too!!!
I write to you with my new mailbox evgeshi@clapmail.info, please write
letters now only on this mailbox
I will wait your next letter.
Kiss you , Evgenija (this is my name)!
My first thoughts were of how in no way, shape, or form did I want a commitment with this woman. I had no idea who she was. She just wanted to get out of Russia and needed support. I'd seen this stuff before I just pondered it for a moment. I began to think how odd it was she had randomly started talking to me. I looked at her email address (evgeshi@clapmail.info) and thought it was odd that it ended in info. So I copied 'clapmail.info' and googled it. Five links pop up and four of them say 'Scam' so I know thats not good. I click on the top one to find a site where multiple people have reported her of being a 'Dating scammer' apparently she talks guys into sending her money so she can fly over to them and she never shows up. They had posted several of her emails and pics.
I was just so shocked I hadn't thought for a second after reading that big email that she was a scammer but someone who needed help getting out of a poor place.

Well now my question to you is: Should I just confront her telling her what I've found out and most likely not get a reply. Should I toy with her to see what I can get from her? What would you do?
