She had her advertisement on e-mail friend site (I forgot the name of the site but it was an English page at an Russian site). She was using her name as Valentina, claiming that she is a 28 years old. I first responded her ad, and she replied. That's how we started. After that, it was a same scam story. She writes she loves me while we had never met, and she needs money to come to see me. I normally became suspicious by the fact that she intentionally didn't answer my questions, telling same thing over and over such as she loves me, consulate doesn't charge any money to get a visa to come to my country but she asked for it. She claimed that she doesn't have a phone but her address shown was 14-23 Pass working, Novosibirsk 630058 Russia. I sent a package and it was returned to me for no such addressee. So that's the only damage I got. Thank your website for giving me tip. I actually found she is a fake by finding the same name and a letter which has exact same content.I hope that your website will help potential victims before they get hurt. I have attached her pics and correspondence. A wave file which doesn't have a name to whom she was speaking to!

This is a good scam. Up until the end, I had no idea!!!!! She contacted me thru yahoo e-mail saying she had seen my profile on the internet. I was a fool. I sent money.

Hello my dear friend Elmor!
I am glad to receive from you again the letter. I am grateful to you that you have written to me. I think that each new letter pulls together us more and more.

I hope that I have made a correct choice. I do not want to risk. I want to be happy and to love persons which am worthy it. I write you with pure intentions. I want you to make happy. It is possible for me to make it how you think? Once I had long attitudes with one guy. We met it two years. I thought that we marry. But his feelings to me have grown cold, he began to concern badly to me, began to drink and carry out a lot of time with the friends a lot of. he told him bad things about me. he became rough with me. His friends consist in a mafia and he began one of them. he had a good time with other women. he liked this sweet life. I might not continue to meet him and we have left. he in any way has not reacted to it. I was strongly upset and after that I was strongly disappointed in Russian men. Has passed already two one year. I have understood that can become the happy man with one Russian. Recently I was told by my girlfriend that it is possible to get acquainted with the man under the Internet. I have not believed this but have decided to try. And I have found you. I am very happy that we write each other. For me it is very serious. I to want to be happy with the man and to lead with him all life. I to wait from the man of understanding, I to think that this most important and certainly big love and care of me and of our future family. I shall try to make the man happy. But without his help, without his love and understanding it will make difficultly. I once again to want to test such feeling as love. I very much to hope for it. Therefore I to write to you. I to think, that you to understand my words. I to want to learn(find out) your opinion on all this? I want to learn more about you. About your soul, a private world. That it is important for you: material or spiritual values? I want to see more than your photos. Now I shall be closed.......... I shall wait for your answer with impatience..... Your friend Valentina!!!

Mine dear friend Elmor!!!
You have very much liked me. I had today poor day at school. I have found a new technique of Russian grammar for 6 classes. I think, that this technique would allow children to understand grammar better and fastly. But the chief of school has not approved it. It has not accepted my technique to training Russian and spoke, that I am held not by business, it a beginning to repulse and to repulse my technique. It spoke, that there are experts who, creates the special program for analysis Russian. I wanted that to me have increased my salary. You on correctly know that for us in Russia the teacher is very poor. To it detain the salary. I can not receive for September the salary but I think that me will not hinder to you to write. I was very baffled after a communication session with the chief of school. My mood is cunning. I left from him. I thought, that I shall leave activity. My Schoolboys, have noted that I pay. Me has asked they, why I pay?. I have told them, that I shall not work more with them. They were very baffled and have begun to ask to remain with them. In one source of tear the schoolgirls on eyes have appeared. I could not be failed to them and has decided to not succumb to activity. I have come home.

I thought today all day only of you as we shall meet you. I have presented as we meet with you at the airport, we search each other eyes. When we find each other, we rush in embraces the friend the friend, we enjoy these embraces very much. We exchange passionate kisses. I wish, that my ideas have addressed to the validity. But before our meeting it - is a lot of difficulties. I have the girlfriend who work in transport agency. She has said to me, that the visa which lasts within 3 months costs 350 dollars. It is very expensive for me. I do my salary of 60 dollars in one month. I think, that our meeting will not be fast. I need in many months to save the sum of money for trip. I became very sad from it.
