My story could go on for a hundred pages if I wanted to get into real detail. Maybe I will add some detail later on but I will try to give a brief run down here of what has happened in the last 5 months.
I met a lady on a site and she persuaded me to come to Kharkov to see her. Shortly after agreeing I was contacted by her agency who were desperate for me to use them. They would provide accommodation, translation services and everything else. I had to pay $1500 up front for my accommodation, and the rest later once I arrived.
Now call me stupid ( I can be naieve at times, but hey cant we all) I paid the money. Then I found this site and started talking to a few members who advised me that it sounded like I was being scammed. They recommended I talked to a lady called Mila who was a translator in Kharkov and that she would help me.
So I contacted Mila and we talked on Skype and she told me that it didn't seem right that I would pay so much money up front. I agreed to come to Kharkov and use Milas services. She charged me $100 to secure accommodation and I hoped I could get a refund from the other agency I had already paid.
Mila would also introduce me to some ladies she knew as well.
So I flew to Kharkov (30 Hours from New Zealand including stop overs, what a nightmare) I met Mila and her husband who were both very quick to put me at ease. They took me shopping and took me to my apartment and all was well.... The apartment was nice, adequate for what I needed for a weeks stay.
Over the next week, I met the girl who I was to originally meet, and Mila introduced me to 6 other girls.... all of which I will elaborate on in my next post......
