Legal Question in International Law in Pennsylvania

Hi was talking to a woman in Accra Ghana for months then she says i want to come to US. I say ok but i cant afford flight. She says that her uncle will pay an embassy will contact me. I get email from Dr.david Degraft a travel agent asking if i know Lucy Buabeng i say yes she wants to come here. 2 weeks later i get email saying i need to pay $125 service fee an $1200 flight by 12 today or they will sue! I paid the $125 fee but said i never said to anyone i was buying ticket. They say she told them im her husband an im paying. Well ive never met her or married her. Now got email with lawyer insignias on it stating lawyers will be taken me to court for the $1200 for ticket. Is this a scam? I never talked to anyone bout buying ticket. Please help Dennis

Huh? Getting an email from someone "claiming" to be a lawyer is meaningless.

Lawyers don't send emails. Is the lawyer in Pennsylvania? If not, this is a scam.

I would get off the internet talking to alleged women in Ghana. The "woman" could be anywhere in the world and might not be a woman. They are fraudsters looking to befriend lonely men and scam money out of them.
