She wanted money for visa to come see me.......said she only needed $75 and had a connection in her city that would get her the visa........

It cost around $350 to get a real visa and only can be obtained at the American Embassy in Moscow.

These scammers look for people who have no clue how this process works.....I'm not one of those

Do you think that pictures mean something... several scammer thief profile and picture from honest women... once the real good woman is listed in black list, they choice a other profile... false passport and false visa are sometime used...

That's not quite accurate; A visa for a Russian costs $100.00, and I believe a visa for a Ukrainian is $0.00 now since Ukraine now dropped fees for Americans to travel to that country. Remember, it's based on reciprocity.

jb,

Don't forget that the reciprocity fee is on top of the visa application fee.

figure on 200 bucks.

I had a scammer send me photos of her mother, grandmother, flat, friends, her pets etc.. Just a way to get you to feel comfortable before dropping the hammer.

Neither the pictures nor the names mean anything, except as warning for others that are in the process of the scam.
There for posting name adress and e-mail once there is a money letter is much more efficient than posting pictures.
To find the exact picture in Google or Yandex is a lot harder than to find a name and address.

Scary, but good to know.

I just dipped my toe in the pool by posting a profile on freepersonals.ru, so I imagine I'll find out soon enough for myself, lol.

TB,

If I send you hot pictures and tell you that I love you will you send me money? Please! I have a friend who can get me a visa to visit you. -or- I was in a car accident. -or- My mother was robbed of all our money. -or- Place your own sad story here...

Nice try, Ken!

I've already been amply "edumacated" by the archives . . . I hope. Forewarned is forearmed and all that.

One that I thought was funny was that a scammer that I wasted a trip on in January had another scammer (Juliana Olara) steal her photos and is using them for her own scam.

It was not nice to delete what others wrote. It seems like the owner is afraid of something. Something is not clean on this forum then. Why you delete waht is useful to others? I think you guys don't really want people to know about scammers because you have a dating site with russian girls. that easy. he he

I think it is not noci to delete any posts what other wtore. You guys don't respect others opinion. I understand, you have to sel russian girls' profiles. he he. Now I don;t believe that you really care about peopele here.

Soon nobody will come to this forum because you don't have a freedom here.
What is the name of the bok about russian scammers? I'd like to read it now!

I definitely will read it now!

Wow, how pathetic.

Do you realize you or your pal's "book" (and I use that term in the loosest fashion) could not pass muster at even the smallest US publishing company? So you (or your pal) had to self-publish? Tsk tsk, vanity presses traditionally were reserved for crazy academics or the wives of wealthy men who wished to publish their verse (I dare not call their work "poetry".)

Dude, there's a huge market for shlocky romance novels about virtuous women who fall for rapscallions. Just think of how much more interesting your book jacket would be with some heaving bosom clinging to a pirate? I suspect your uhh, talent is more primed for such a market.

Miranda,

No-one deleted anything. I merely split the topic so it would NOT hijack another member's topic - and we could deal with the merits (or not) of the topic all on its own.

Please take the time to ask a few questions before making FALSE accusations.
