Details: I was contacted through a personals website. And then did not get a reply for about a week. Then she sent me this letter with her information, along with a picture. And we corresponded basically everyday (me one day, her the next) and each letter came with a different picture. About the fifth letter she tells about her friend Maria being sick in the hospital, but also reveals she believes she has fallen in love with me. Several more letters follow talking more about love and then her sexual likes and dislikes. Then she says she has two surprises but won’t tell you right now. One turns out to be she is making a sweater for you. The other is that she is getting the proper paperwork together to meet you. A couple more letters go by and then bang she gets her Visa and begs the travel agent to also schedule a flight (without checking with you about it). But it is too expensive so she uses all her savings and pawns her jewelry to pay for it. But wouldn’t you know it she is still about $1000 too short. “And if you really love her and trust her” you will find it in your heart to help her out and send her the money.

Details: Non-existing agency. Ads of pretty girls are placed on popular personals sites. When answer the ad, you find yourself corresponding through an agency in St Petersburg. The “agency” promises to fly the lady of your interest to you using a student exchange program, asking money for tickets and visa, and giving you deadlines when money should be paid, or “her visa expires”. They write good English, and pressurize with deadlines very well. You may be requested to send money on the name of the girl of your interest or one of the “managers”. May supply you with “addresses” and phone numbers of “clients who successfully used their services”; also have references listed on their website. All email addresses are registered at free services like Hotmail, and those people are non-existent. Ask you to arrange payment via Western Union or MoneyGram.
