Rafailovna, Elena – Samara, Russia 

Postal address: claimed this was the address of her uncle Romanov K.E. Samara, Russia 443105 Livenskaja St. House 26 Apartment 5
Agency: JDate.com

Details: This person was unreal. “She” was so patient with everything. She knew how to push all of the right buttons and wait patiently for things to happen naturally. We e-mailed each other everyday and after about a month, I offered to help her pay for airline tickets to fly to the U.S. to see me. She acted like she was too ashamed to accept my offer claiming that she was “raised not to accept money from other people”.

It took me 3 e-mails just to convince” her to accept my help. I wired her $1200 and she claimed to purchase airline tickets and then go to Moscow to interview for her visa. She then claimed that the Russian Federation would not issue her a visa because she did not have the $2000 minimum required to “declare” in a bank account.

She told me that this policy was to protect Russian citizens trying to leave the country without money to fend for themselves or get back home. She then claimed that she was able to borrow $900 from her bank, but still needed $1100 more to declare. I agreed to send her another $1100 and told her that she could pay me back as soon as she meets me. Of course she never showed up at the airport and then wrote me an e-mail claiming to get mugged on the way to the airport in Moscow. Unreal. I googled “russian scam” and this was the first website that popped up.

Sure enough, one of the stories on here that lists bank account details matched the bank account used in the wire transfer perfectly! I can’t believe how stupid I was! She even continued to contact me afterwards.

Here is the bank account information she used to receive the wire tranfers:
Beneficiary Bank: CBGURUMM
Account with correspondent Bank: 04413603
Name: JSC Vneshtory Bank Retail Financial Services
Address: 5 Dolgorukovskaya Street, Moscow
Beneficiary: Romanov K.E.
Beneficiary’s account number: 42301840515001004367
Private transfer to telebank client: 914403

After a couple of letters, she made a mistake and sent me twice the same message. She even forgot to fill the blanks there was on her template I should say….

Rina (Short for Irina) – Izhevsk, Russia 

Agency: SingleParent.com
E-mail addresses: rinusechek@yahoo.com and olga222222222222@mail.ru 

Details: I originally sent her a flirt message thinking she was from West Virginia. Within a few message I found that she was from Russia. She said that she indicated that she was from West Virginia because the site would not allow Russian profiles. She went on in her messages saying that she was a school teacher, never married, living with parents. I even received a fake email from who was suppose to be her mother. She stated that Rina was hurt in a previous relationship and wanted to know my intentions.

Everything seemed legit, then she asked for money to pay for a plane ticket. That was my first Red Flag. I initially, with caution said I would help pay, I indicated that I would pay the money directly to the travel agency. She came up with an excuse stating that they only except cash and that I would have to Western Union her the money. That was the second Red Flag. I then conducted a search on sites such as this. I found the information on another site that listed previously used email addresses. Sure enough, her email address and her supposed mothers email address was listed on the site. Watch out for this one!!! The email addresses to watch out for are: rinusechek@yahoo.com and olga222222222222@mail.ru
