Lebedeva Street 6-15
Primorsk, Russia, 188910
The Primorsk this individual lives in is in the Leningradskaya Oblast as to avoid confusion, as there are 2 other Primorsks in Russia in my
research on Mapquest.com.

Details: I am a full-time employed, single white/caucasian 31 year old male living in Monroe, LA. I have stumbled upon another recent scammer that has been hitting up Match.com alot apparently posing as a girl from Plano, TX but then revealing herself as from Primorsk, Russia. Her screename on Match.com is "Julikana", I have already contacted them about her as a Russian scammer as well to have her account removed and her IP perma banned.Typical bait and switch "visa and tickets" scammer, thankfully I have NOT sent her any money, I was wise to be suspicious of this individual's true motives. I have yet to resolve our conversation after she sent me her forged Visa(verified that it is indeed forged by the St. Petersburg U.S. Consulate) and at this point I don't care to.

Email: tide_04@yahoo.com 

Details: She is good. After 3 weeks i ask her to visit me in my country (Netherland). 3 weeks later she said that she will visit me and she’s going to a travellingagency for info. There they told her how much money she needed for the document, ticket and visa. About 800 euro.
She asked me to send the money by MoneyGram. Then she went to Moscow to visit the dutch ambassy to get her visum. They told her that for a visum of 90 days she needed 4500 euro’s. 50 euro a day to live. A place to sleep, to eat and drink. Thats the law in the Netherlands and is correct. After that she send me the flightinfo, also correct.
But she never show up. Indeed, she is good. She used as a emailaddress; tide_04@yahoo.com I’ve got messages from her in my own language, she used a online translator. In every letter she called my name several times, a different strategy? Now she told me that she was arrested saturday on the airport in Moscow for smuggling antic stuff.
Her own stuff, she said. Now she must pay a penalty a 9600 euro’s to be free or by judge and than between 3,5 and 6 years prison. Can that be truth? I dont believe it. She needed still 5100 euro’s to pay the penalty.

Address: Travel agent: "Max Travel" maxtravel-kotlas.narod.ru. Arkhangelsk, Kotlas, Kirov Street 76. Postal code 165300   

Email: oksaleeva@yahoo.com

Details: We met on match.com

She seemed incredibly sincere. We exchanged lengthy emails almost daily for 2 months. I saw only minuscule red lights. Her poetic, sincere, romantic nature intoxicated me into trusting her.

She shared stories of how she lost her 3 yr old brother at the age of 6. She felt bad as her mother (mum) still mourned the loss but she could not hardly remember him.

Her father mostly enjoyed "wasting" time in the garden.

She worked as an art teacher for teenagers. Only wanting to pass on the skills her mother taught her. She shared a story of how she saw one 13 year old student smoking a cigarette and was horrified. She complained of many drunken men in the streets and being very afraid.

A couple weeks later the fire department appeared at her school and closed it for not meeting
regulations. Her first time without work.

I suggested perhaps meeting in Europe six months down the road. She could not wait that long for us to be together. She had so fallen in love she could not wait a day.

She tried to get a loan at the bank but was unsuccessful. Finally her retired father was able to get a portion of the cost to fly to America. I told her I was in the middle of bankruptcy (true) and not able to help. I talked to the travel agency "Max Travel" (maxtravel-kotlas.narod.ru) about delaying her flight so I could raise funds. They said that was not possible because tickets had already been purchased (Red light). I did get them to delay the flight briefly. I finally flinched and sent money ($490) to her travel "agent" Elena Avdeeva via Western Union.

Oksana only spoke of money indirectly, mostly focusing on love and romance. 

I appeared at the airport for her arrival. She was not there. A call to one connecting flight airline at London Hethrow did not show her on the passenger list.

Then came the frantic emails of a frightened, innocent young girl stranded without food or shelter in the big scary city of Moscow. She described successfully getting her visa at the Moscow embassy. Only to be stopped by customs while trying to board the plane. She needed to show evidence of having $3000 to travel with a tourist visa (true I now believe - this IS a requirement).

Her following emails became more tattered and frenzied. I offered to get her a nights hotel stay and a train ticket back home. I told her to have a Western Union agent email me with instructions. She replied that the agent has no information to send me. At that point I Google-ed 
"Russian Scams" and found this site www.russian-scam.org. After searching pictures I found her photo under a different name and city. She was good. And I foolish.

Fortunately no more money was sent. I'm sure I blew apprehending her when I replied to her email with "I caught you". I only hope my faith in the goodness of people is not severely damaged.

I did follow up with a final ill-spirited message declaring that cruel, soul-less people belong in prison.
