Travina, Nadezdha - Cheboksary, Russian Federation

Email: Love-flower@inbox.ru

Details: I am a middle-aged man from California. I began corresponding with Nadezhday (Nadya) on November 30 and by December 17 she was madly in love with me. Of course I did not send her any money, nevertheless perhaps this information will help rotect other men from her scam.

She sent me quite a few letters, seldom answering any questions I asked of her or even replying to anything I had written. In an effort to waste as much of her time as possible and make her work a little harder on her scam I would occasionally write and tell her that her letters sounded like form letters and that I was not interested in further correspondence unless she
answered all the questions I had asked her in previous letters. So she would have to go back and actually read my letters and take the time to write a letter instead of just copying and pasting one of her form letters.

Tsytsareva, Svetlana – Kogalym, Russia

Postal address:
Novoselos Street 21
628482 Kogalym
Russia

Details: She picked up the money in St Petersburg Russia which is now where near
Kogalym or Moscow. And she was receiving money from across the US from several locations.

I originally met her on true.com a single site. then we corresponded via hotmail and the my regular home e-mail address. I have not received any responses from the FBI web site that I reported this to.

I originally contacted her on true by accident and thought it was some web site trying to get me to buy into something. As you can read with her
response I thought she was for real and all of her e-mail was very convincing. She told me she needed money for her visa and air fare. I found out later after e-mailing the embassy that it only cost 100USD for a visa, I sent her 400USD. I also sent here 1700USD for air fare and money for hotel and food while she obtained her visa. I believed that she had to fly into Moscow from Kogalym.

She then stated she had received the visa and found out she needed a 1000USD for guarantee money to prove to customs she had enough money stay in the states and stated she would give it to me as soon as she got here. I sent it to her. I later found after contacting the embassy that this was a common scam.

She the stated that she got in trouble with costumes by not claiming a Russian gift and had to pay a fine and fees and was short money for the trip and asked for and additional 650USD. I was about to send it when the western union rep told me she was receiving money from several locations in the states. I canceled the transaction and found that she had picked up the money in St. Petersburg Russia not Kogalym of Moscow as I originally thought.

She e-mailed me trying to make me feel guilty for here problems and still asked for more money.
