I encountered a Russian single girl aged 26, from the city Yoshkar-Ola,
where is a famous "dating scams" area. After some exchanging emails,
she also fell in love with me quickly, and she claimed some amount money for first TICKET after VISA. She sticked her coming to Japan for meeting instead of my visiting her in Russia. Her story is almost typical described in many of BLACK LIST this site.
http://www.womenrussia.com/blacklist.htm#addstory My story is following:
1. She works for a flower shop and furniture shop her monthly income only $200, and her mother passed away in her 12 years old ,
after her mother dead, her fatherremarried with another woman but the relationship between step mother and she is very bad,
almost cats & dogs, so she run away from her parents and rent a flat alone, her only friend books and music.
For that reason,she wish she would run away her hometown and even Russia and her only wish is to creat strong family
to get married with honest sincere man, she called them as 'the right person'.
2. She consistently emphasized her "mum" from the HEAVEN pray for her happiness,and she tried to give me the impression
that she is a very religious person.
3. She also requested me to send her the money by Western Union, and she also knew about the workings of Western Union than I did.
4. She already had a passport that she says she once had a schedule to have a trip to Turkey with her friend but the plan ended up only a dream.
