Now, for some reason the next letter got lost. In that letter she gave me the "I love you" "I have a friend who who has a friend that can give me a visa".
After this letter I began to check and found her IP address listed among other scammers.
I then checked various sites and found her on them.
When I wrote and asked about it she stopped writing.
OK, just to satisfy my curiosity I had to hire scam check.
This is my response:
This message is regarding the order number 1168555986 for delivery to Natalia (Unknown Last Name).
We went to the address you specified:
#74 Krasnoarmejskaja Apartment 41 in Kazan, I l Russia l I.
We found that there is no such person at that address.
We asked the surrounding residents if they knew Natalia at that address, but they said that they did not know such person.
Based on the these findings, we may suggest that Natalia is likely a scammer.
If you wish, you may submit her to the scammer blacklist on our site:
