Avoid a Scam by a Russian Scammer!

FROM A RUSSIAN NEWS SITE:

"The Russian scammer was wonderfully simple. On the Internet were placed photos of beautiful Russian sexy ladies that were claiming to look for foreign husbands. Gullible grooms were sending future wives from Yoshkar-Ola money for travel expenses. And this was the end of the correspondence.

"A citizen of USA applied to the Ministry of Home Affairs complaining that a Russian woman received from him more than $2000 US Dollars in a fraudulent way", said the press secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Anatoly Platonov. After receiving numerous complaints detectives of the department "K" arrested four people in Yoshkar-Ola. The most interesting thing is that it was not the women that were corresponding with foreign men but two guys. The "Russian sexy ladies" were only to receive the money transfers. They were paid $50 for receiving each transfer."

How Does This Happen?

Imagine an internet site that lures unsuspecting men, interested in meeting a gorgeous Russian sexy lady, into posting their profile for a minimal fee, promising they'll be seen by the thousands of women Russian scammers who also subscribe to the service.

Someone, perhaps you, will figure for $10, you can get great results and avoid those costly Romance Tour services which tell you time and again you must travel to meet the Russian women in order for the process to work. You've got a tight schedule, and you hate to waste thousands of dollars when you can get the same results for only posting a $10 profile! So you bite.

Almost immediately the responses pour in. "Hello Dear!" The Russian scammers will say, "I saw your profile and handsome pictures on "Scam_You_Out_Of_Your_Money.com" and couldn't wait to write."

"This is great!" you think, "So much response for a $10 ad!" So many letters! After several weeks, Tatiana talks about her mother's poor health and not being able to pay for medicines - but she doesn't mean to trouble you with that! No - Russian scammers would rather talk about her dream of intense love last night with a mysterious stranger who fits your basic description and speaks with a foreign accent. From all your Russian sexy ladies pen-pals Tatyana emerges as the front-runner, as this Russian scammers' letters and photos become more and more revealing.

Ultimately you decide you are cursed for having met the Russian woman of your dreams (just your luck - she lives in Russia) and you may never get the chance to meet!

But the Love-Gods have smiled on you, as Tatiana writes one day that her sister's neighbor owns a travel agency that works directly with the US EMBASSY in Moscow! And she can get Tatyana a tourist visa into the US! Never mind that you've never met, never kissed, never cuddled! You'll quickly take care of that when your Russian woman arrives, the Russian scammer says!

But wait! One problem - the visa costs $500.00 and then there is the airfare, $1000.00 she will have to buy a round-trip ticket of course because they won't let her leave the country without a way of getting back, right?

Then there is her Grandma, who needs Tatyana's income to pay for medicines. And it's more money than she makes in a year! So maybe you could send the money to her, and here's the Western Union address, and her personal info.

Of course, she will understand if you can't send the money or think it's too soon. It seems a pity, to have found the one Russian sexy lady you have always dreamed of, and to let the chance to be together slip by you!

So off you go to the Western Union, and unload $1500 for the visa and airfare, and another $500 for her Grandmother's medicines so Grandma will be ok while Tatyana is gone. And you send Tatyana the Western Union transaction number.

A few days later the Russian scammer has the visa, and sends you a copy of it in your email! But the Embassy, she says, tells her she will not be allowed to leave the country without money to live on while she is here. Please send her another $500.00, same Western Union address, etc, etc.

You're so close now, what's another $500, right? After all, she did get the visa, right? So off you go to the Western Union for another quick transaction.

Guess what? You never hear from Tatyana again.

What's even worse? Tatyana was probably not Tatyana - but Boris, a the Russian scammer MAN, writing you letters while sitting at his kitchen table in his underwear drinking beer and laughing at you!
