This number has been talking to a loved one of mine and he states he lives in Australia. Recently he asked for money for a plane ticket so that he can fly to the U.S. and see her. I would like to know if this is a scam or not.

An obvious scam! You can look at this website here - http://romancescams.org/ - they even have a quiz to see if you are dealing with a scammer. However, I will say this - any requests for monetary assistance made by a relative stranger - or someone you have not spent a lot of time with in person - should always be treated as scams. No exceptions!
