Email: lufema@yandex.ru

Details: I was contacted by this girl through americansingles.com. Eventually, she wanted to know if we could meet. She wanted $750.00 to cover visa, insurance and travel agency expense. She then wanted to have the money wired. I then wrote a letter telling her all the reasons that I was suspicious and that if all she would consider is me sending money, then goodbye and good luck. I have not heard from her again.

Details: She gave me the typical "I love you, can't live without you, must travel to see you" scam. She conveniently gave me the costs (very inflated) and even the boldness to give me the Western Union website in which to send her the money.

Details: Ads are placed on popular personals sites. When answer the ad, you find yourself corresponding through an agency in Ekaterinburg (Scarlett Visa and Internet Agency, Dynasty Visa and Internet Club etc). The "agency" promises to fly Alena to you, asking money for tickets and visa, and giving you deadlines when money should be paid, or "her visa expires". After all money were paid, you will receive an email from "Alena" from an Intenet-cafe in Moscow with request to send her money for "boarding fee" of $500, or $200 for the lost passport. They write good English, and pressurize with deadlines very well.

Details: She contacted me through a website called World Friends and she still has an account with adult friend finder with the name of: Snezhanka

At first she seemed normal enough when she contacted me, first contact was in june 30 of 2005 and we spoke for months. First she said that she wanted to buy a computer and needed some money and then after time and after she started liking me she said that she needed money to make an apartment in her mother's name, The mother's name is: Maria Kropotova and I did send her money through western union MTCN:6075093890 at first the receiver name was Snezhana Fiodorova and then she told me that she couldn't find her ID and asked if I could make the receiver out to her mother's name of Maria Kropotova, she said that her mother was using her maiden name and she was using the lastname of her father. I still have all the e-mails that she sent me, from the very first one to the last one, so I was wondering if I could send them to you but I don't think I can send them on this e-mail because I am already sending photos and what not.
