Zaporoshenko, Tatyana – Omsk, Russia

E-mail address: tanushka_79@inbox.ru
Phone number: +79600930144

Details: I was just scammed out of $1,500, and almost lost up to $4,000. But, I got suspicious after I read your website. 

I emailed her after seeing her picture on the website (she has now changed her address on the website to California (before it was North Carolina), although she has always been in Russia. Her nickname on the website is Milayadevushka, although she changes this name as frequently as her address. She asked me for $1,620 to pay for a tourist visa and airfare to the USA, and like an idiot I sent it to her, because I believed she had feelings for me. I sent the money to the following address:

Tatyana Zaporoshenko
Prokhorov Street
House 34, Apt 79
Omsk, Russia

The money was picked up the next morning (about 10 days ago). She told me her ID # is 8803546789, and her contact phone number is +79600930144.

Phone: +7-919-151-0430 

Details: “Please understand me right, I don’t ask for a gift of 500 USD. Could you borrow me this sum of money? When I come to your country and find work I’ll give you money back with the first possibility. The documents which I prepare are:- Travel passport; – Police report; – Medical certificate, – Documents from the bank and from my work and others… I’ve made a calculation how much do I have to pay more for documents + visa fees. The sum is about 500 USD or a little more. Of course it looks like very expensive but this money will cover very many expenses connected with visa and documents. I have already paid and received new foreign passport and I’ve got it on hand. My previous passport became invalid as its period expired. I could not even imagine that they will do visa so quickly. But here is one important rule: if I don’t pay for visa now it’ll be a problem for me to get it next time. I can’t miss this chance now.”

She had sent me several pictures and finally a copy of her passport before I purchased a E-Ticket and sent her $1700.00 to arrive which of course, she never did.We had talked several times about scams and I mailed her several articles. This person is very convincing. After talking by mail and a few phone conversations, we had agreed for her to come to the US.

When it came time for her to leave Moscow, she e-mailed that she that customs had turned her away because she had no cash. After researching the customs and border patrol website I agreed to send her $1700.00 as long as she sent a copy of her passport which she did.
