Is this lady a scammer?
« on: September 15, 2011, 04:41:25 PM »
Hi, guys,
I came across these two profiles at two different websites:

(1) http://elenasmodels.com/index.php?ap=7010831
(2) http://www.singlebrides.com/profile/96425

The photos show they are the same lady, but different birthday and city. It seems that this lady is a scammer. Anybody has experience with this lady?

Difficult to say but something certainly isn't kosher. One of the profiles could actually be hers and her pics lifted and used by a scammer on the other or most likely scenario, neither profile is her and they are both used by a scammer

Thanks Faux.
I am corresponding with this lady at the moment. No money is mentioned so far. We heated up quickly, and she is not willing to give me her phone number. I'll report back if i can confirm she is a scammer.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else :)

one of the two is a scammer, probably both. Tineye didn't show any results. Have you googled the email addy and checked the header for BAT?
Doesn't have, won't give you a phone number....don't make me go there. RUN!!!!

If you're not getting her number, things aren't hot enough. Keep talking to him/her and keep talking to others. Don't waste all your time on an unknown.
 
Some of the gals I communicated with have had their profiles and photos copied from competing sites and used without their permission.
Fund the audits, spread the word and educate people, write your politicians and other elected officials. Stay active in the fight to save our country. Over 220 generals and admirals say we are in a fight for our survival like no other time since 1776.

I googled the email address, and nothing came up. Checked the header. It is BAT.
I think both are scammers. It is not one copy from the other, as photos in both sites are not completely the same.

Thanks BillyB. Just want to make sure that this lady is a scammer so that nobody else is fooled in the future.

There is always a possibility that someone is using photos of a woman without her consent or knowledge, to register several different profiles, and possibly - to run scam schemes.
So technically, unless you've seen her on skype, and you are 100% sure that woman on skype and photo are the same, you cannot claim "this lady/woman is a scammer," and advertise/condemn her as  such online by posting her photos/profiles with mark "scammer." Because there can be a third of fourth profile, created by the real "this woman," and you may destroy her chances of meeting someone, whereas her only fault is having her photos online and letting someone steal them and use for scam profiles.

Thanks for pointing out. True, there is such possibility.

An update:

As expected, now the person behind this lady is asking for:
1)165$ tourist visa fee;
2)280$ medical insurance;
3)145$ passport fee;
4)Tickets;
5)110$ travel agency fee.

 It is clear, as I believe, that the person operating behind this profile is a scammer.

Likely a hairy assed Boris pulling your chain. Cut all communication and move on. There are thousands of real women waiting for you to contact them

Elena's models would  be my top recommendation despite the fact that one of the ladies in the OP's post was on Elena's.   That link however is not working for me right now so it is possible they have removed her.   They are good at doing that and most ladies on Elenas are real. 
 
There are other good sites too.  I did meet my wife on Elena's so it is always my top choice to recommend to anyone.

No,she hasn't been removed from the site,and is actually online as i write this.
I notice it isn't a confirmed profile,but i'm surprised,after a quick check,how many profiles on that site aren't confirmed.
Just saying it like it is.
