The name of the person where the money is sent is the key issue in a scam, and different photos may be used. Also, the same set of photos may be used under different names. Most known scams appear to be run by the same few groups using different names and photos. Photos used in a scam not necessarily belong to the scammers, and may be simply downloaded from the Internet.

Andries, Andrea – Bucharest, Romania

YM is andreea andreea and sometimes it is alesya_alesya
E-mail address: alesya_18us
DNS: 209.73.179.70

Details: She wanted to come to Toronto Canada.
Then I said i wanted to see her on cam. I sent her $35 US she said she needed medicine and spent the money. A week later, I sent her $50 because I still wanted to verify she was real, and it is not alot of money. She bought internet time and told me that the camera in the cafe was not available.
We were talking about her coming here, and I said i would see her on cam the next day.
On the next day she slipped up and said that she will meet me in Quebec next week. She seems to have her sights set on Canadians. I confronted her and you can see the conversation below that I coppied from Yahoo. so now she picks a fight with me over this because she just realized how stupid she is. The funny thing is, she is the one who contacts me to taunt me. She is just to stupid for words. please post her pictures and her information. Like I said, she is very active in scamming smaller amounts because she thinks we will not care. Truth is, she is still a scammer.

Olga once asked me if I was corresponding with another woman. After telling her that I was, Anna stopped corresponding with me. She never wrote back to me.. I think that it is the same person writing, that's why she wanted me to stop. When Olga quit our relation, because I was asking too many questions and I wasn't sending money, another russian girl wrote to me. Her name was Valentina. 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....
