Description: This scammer from Ukraine pulls multiple scams and the very first of them is using photos of famous Victoria's Secret photomodel and celebrity Heidi Klum. More photos of Heidi you can see in our photomodels section. Other scenarios of Irina Balla 'medical emergency' and 'visa&tickets scam'.
Proof: I began correspondence with a woman from Ukraine around the end of April. I saw her ad in the match.com web page. There must have been a special offer advertised since there were probably 50-100 women from former Soviet Union countries on the site but now there are almost none from any of the FSU! I wrote to 4 and Irina was the only response. Her name is Irina Balla and she lives in Evpatoriya, Crimea, Ukraine. She did not give me a phone number since she said she had no phone. Her scams are multiple! First, she claims to have a family emergency needing immediate medical help. Then she needs more medical money. Finally, she does the visa & ticket scam. I fell prey to the first scam. Her medical emergency was that her ma was hit by a car. I did a few hours of research on the internet regarding medical and economic conditions in Ukraine and her story of inadequate medical supplies appeared to be based on truth. I knew that it could be a scam but I didn't want to be wrong if someone was actually hit by a car. I guess I am too trusting. If I had found the antiscam website sooner I would have realized the prevalancy of this scam and not sent $350, which is actually quite a bit to me at $35K a year income. Now that I have read antiscam I realize that every single warning sign was present except for a big age difference (25 and 33) was present! Well I know now. Bob.

Letter 2

Hi
I so pleased that has got your letter. It is so many things that I want to tell you, I think I start with history of my life:I was born at 10 of october in Evpatoriya on south of Ukraine. Ukrainian people are very good. But our country is poor and corruption. I have no brother or sister. I have mother and father I love them very very much. It is the best people for me in the world. I finished university. Some times ego I wanted to became a fashion model. But it is very hard. And here for this is pay not too much. But my friends think that I have all ability to become a good model. I think I must have time to myself and for my future family but this work take all my free time. Now I work in not big firma as a secretary but I do not know yet whom I want to be. My friends tell me that I beautiful but I do not know, I not always complacent of as I look. I like reading books about love. I like forest, mountains, seaside. I want to walk with my lovely man by the forest. I want to see sunrising on seaside with my love. I want to wake up in your arms. I want that we will be two part of one. I see – you are good man. I like you very much. I want to know more about you – for me inside world of man is more important that how he is looks. I believe that you will love me as much as I will love you. I understand that you want to know more about me. But I know English bad. It is very hard for me to write. It is much for one letter for me I of course will write more about me in next letter. I use translation program and program that show me my mistakes. Now I searching for English teacher but that I found it is cost too much for me. I send you some of my pics (there is one more in my ad but I do not remember the number of my ad), I want to send you more but I have no scanner. I will be waiting for your letter. Your Irina.



Letter from Bob

Dear Irina,
Please, seriously I am having a hard time believing that a woman as beautiful as you could be having a difficult time finding a husband. If I can fall in love with you after a few letters and seeing your beautiful pictures then the men in Ukraine who are able to talk to you and smell your skin and touch your soft hair must be willing to give their lives for your love. Irina, how can this not be true?? What do you really want? Why are you so willing and eager to leave your country and come to the USA where you will have to meet all new friends and will miss your family? Sincerely, your friend, Bob



Letter 3

Hi
You want to know more about me. Ok. I have university degrees I am an economist. I was finished Evpatoriya economical university. Evpatoriya is not big city (near 200000. people) it situated near Black Sea side. So there is an international seaport, (but there is no international airport there, the closer airport only in capital of Ukraine) I like to cook and prepare small surprises to my relatives and friends. I think that woman should keep home soul. I like cinema; I like since fiction, comedies, love story. I likes pets, a specially cats and dogs. I have a cat. Cat has said myau - he greets you. My cat such cunning and clever. At home he calm but on the street beats not only cats but dogs too. My loved color is blue and red. In the cloth of this color I looks more beautiful then in other. I have no money to buy an expensive cloth but I always look beautifully. My favorite meal. Mmmm I do not know I like everything, most of all I like chocolate and sweetnesses. I have no computer, I use computer and internet in internet cafe but it is cost too much for me. So I can't use it very often. But I think it is the best way to communicate. I even have no telephone because this expensive too. It is not easy to quarrel with me, but if I will offend it will be for long. Sometimes, people quarrel because of trivialities. I think that in this case that is better to do small concessions than spoil a mood. The most important for my - is family and that people good thinking about me. I have no boyfriend. All my boyfriends that I have had no serious feelings to me. But this filling and relation between man and woman is very serious for me and for this I can to move to you, to move out from my country. I want to visit you because we must to know each other closer before me will marry. I only afraid if we will do not like each other do you give me money for air ticket to come back?(I hope it is never happen It's not problem that you older than me. I like you much. Love Irina.



Letter 4

The Doctor has said that he helps all than can, but he can not to buy it itself. If we does not buy all that he said in time, he said that ma die, I not know that I then shall do, my ma the most best person in my life. I in such mad condition that I seem that this dream. This can not be. My ma can die on my eyes. We with the father already have spent all money which we had for this. Sold and pawned all that have been able. And we needed near 390US$ more and we do not know from where we can have it. I understand that we with you practically do not know each other. We faraway from each other in different countries, but I ask you to help me. In the bank I have known that Western Union it is fastest way to send money. They told me that you will be needed my name - Irina, surname - Balla, my address: Ukraine, town - Evpatoriya(zip97402), street - Lenina 3, apt.23.

I not even can promise that I will be able to return you a money back. Sorry if I has written something not in right order, my condition in very terrible. Your Irina.

But my salary will be only at 6th of June. I was asking for borrow money from my friends but all find reasons to not to help me. I hopes that you are able I help and that this will not be a big problem for you. Love you and hope on you. Irina.



Letter from Bob

Dear Irina,
It is very hard for me to send you money Irina. I helped you in an emergency without any questions Irina because I told you that I was your friend. I took a chance that you were not tricking me but I have no way to know. I decided to believe you. But we are just beginning to be friends and you ask much from me but only share a little about yourself. I ask you about yourself and your family and your life in my letters. That is what a friend does, no? But you do not answer the questions, even simple questions. You say nothing about what I write! Do you read my letters????? Only in one letter did you tell me a little about yourself, but you only shared a little about what you love in your life and what you do. Also, you do not ask me any questions. Why? Is there nothing that you would like to know?? Please, I am not upset, but I do not understand. It makes me sad to think that your ma is hurt. I know that if my ma was hurt I would be terribly sad. But, you must do more than ask for money. It is your turn to show me that you are sincere. In a short letter you must make some promises to me before I will help you again. 1. Promise me that you will pay me back just like you promised your other friends. You must tell me when you will pay me. You can pay some first and some later if you like but you must tell me the dates when you will pay. If you pay me back then I will know that I can trust you. 2. You must tell me if you have read the letters that I have sent you. Yes or no? 3. Tell me why you do not answer questions about yourself and your family or ask questions of me. 4. You must promise to send me a long letter that shows me the inside of Irina's thoughts. What things do you think are special about yourself? And what is your family like? You must tell me how you will send the letter. If you make both promises and answer both questions I will take another chance and help you one more time. Sincerely, your friend, Bob

Tomorrow I shall come to tourist firm and shall try find out ticket and visa cost. And how long is it take to make all documents. But I do not know what is the nearest international airport from you?

Letter from Bob

Dear Irina,
You are very sweet. I also dream of meeting you. I try to imagine the sound of your voice. I try to imagine what you look like in real life and not modeling. I try to imagine what you home looks like. I have a million questions to ask you. Will you share about your life? What is your family like? Do you live with your parents? Do you have aunts and uncles and and cousins living near? Are your grandparents alive? The more that you write about yourself and your life the better I know you!! I will share anything about my life that you want to know also. Please ask anything you want. We will get to know more about each other. I live nearest to San Francisco, California (international airport = SFO). Bob



Letter 11

Hi dear.
I live with my parents. I have uncle living in my town.I have no aunts or cousins living near. My grandparents alive and live in my town too. My parents are the best parents in the world. I was known that tourist Visa cost 160US$.International (foreign) passport will be cost 148US$. And it will take 5 days for paperwork to make all it. I found out that air tickets from Kiev (capital of Ukraine) to San Francisco cost 1370US$. Love Irina.



Letter from Bob

Dear Irina,
Send me a phone number that I can call you at and a time and date. I decided to investigate the possibility of you being a trick or a scam and found some internet information that describes you completely. For example the webpage explained that asking for money because of an emergency, having professional photos and no natural in life photos, never asking questiong, telling very little, and pretending to not speak good English are signs of a scam. Thats you! Well if it is true I hope you don't do it to other men because it isn't honest. If it is true you might as well confess so that we don't waste any more time, because I'm not going to send you any more money. If it isn't true then send the phone number and we will talk and arrange for your visit. Bob



Letter 12 and the last

Hi dear.
I had asked you for money. Only now I understand that It was my mistake. But I had been in very bad condition and do not thought about this. Please do not think about my problems, because we know each other not so good and my problems it is not your problems. I afraid that I can lose you. I will be never more place you in such conditions. Please write me something.......... Do not leave me alone...



That was the last time I heard from her. I have sent 3 letters to her in the past week. I sent the last one with a webbug that notifies me if she has opened it and she hasn't. Bob.
