What do you all think... are any of these kinds of things real, or all just spam traps?

The angel girl looks way too good to be true. I suspect a few emails then the RFM, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to email her and see what she comes up with. I'd be interested to know what her trip is. The couple thing could be real. The last one is probably trolling for some RFM candidates, but if you feel like responding, wtf.

I'd be willing to bet that the ASIAN girl is not even an RFM but a SPAM trap. Reply to her only through a throwaway e-mail box that you set up especially for that purpose because it will almost certainly be followed by an e-mail inviting you to visit a supposedly free dating site where you can look up her profile and see some pics, but which you'll have to register for to see anything and then pay for to reply to her ad. After you do that, the e-mail box you set-up will start to receive a lot of SPAM of all sorts. I know because I've checked out enough of these sorts of ads before myself.

The other ones are probably the same thing but could be at least slightly more real. Particularly the couple one since it comes with a big string, her boyfriend having to take part. And the last one might be a SPAM trap but even if it isn't will probably at least lead to some sort of RFM. That would not necessarily be a bad thing if you delay any payment until you get down there, see her for real and determine exactly what you get for your investment. And if it is for real, the odds are certainly there that she is actually a "working girl" that some of us may already know.

I queried one that responded for 150 incall with protection. I can only imagine that her marketing targets are newbies.

You are exactly correct. The return address is full of traps and people who may steal your identity. I looked at this as well as several other sites during the week with a blind return. I've found that this was all over Asian and Europe with hits in the old USSR. Lots to be concerned about.
Just a thought.
Thanks
