I
have experienced true Russian
dating scam. In June 2005, through the American Singles, I entered into a
correspondence with a lady named IRINA DOMRACHEVA, FROM KAZAN, TATARSTAN.
Sometimes she uses first name as IRISHLULYA. The email she uses is,” IRISHULYA@LIST.RU”,
.The correspondence started slowly and it grew very fast which turned to
be very romantic She started by asking me to send her money for passport,
for Visa and for Ticket. She would write long sweet letters that made me
feel so wanted. Her demand of money was so high but she made me believe
her. First I sent her $850 for VISA, PASSPORT and Other expenses, by
western union. Next I sent her $2000 for a flight ticket to USA. This was
to include POCKET money that she claimed the American embassy required.
When she received the money she said she bought the ticket and she had to
go to Moscow for interview with the American embassy. She told me that her
father had to accompany her because she did not feel safe in Moscow a
lone. She spent all the money and so she said that the Embassy told her
that she would require $2000 pocket money(which she claimed she would give
back to me after our meeting) in order to enter USA, otherwise she would
be denied entry in the USA. I sent her the money. I believed everything
this woman told me and it seemed I had met the woman of my dreams. She
sent me the flight schedule, August 18, 2005. I went to met her at the airport in USA but she was not in
the flight. When I went back to my house she had written me saying that
she was detained in Moscow because she did not declare a gift her grand
mother had given her for me. So she had to re-schedule to fly another day
after she had to pay a fee of $400 for changing the ticket. Eight days
later, she wrote me and sounded very guilt and sad. She said that she got
robbed at the airport but pleaded with me that if I sent another the
pocket and ticket money, she would fly to be with me forever. I have no
idea what was wrong with my thinking. I never thought I would be such an
idiot. I was obsessed with this scammer, so I sent her $2800. She wrote me
and gave her the flight schedule, September 19, 2005. I went to meet her
at the airport but she was not in the flight. I went back to my house and
there was her email that she could not come because her mother had a HEART
attack when she saw her off at the train station to go to Moscow. She
wrote me almost every other day if not every other day. She made
everything look so real about her mother’s sickness and that she was at
hospital and every detail she could have. I started doubting this once I
believed woman and I noticed that when I did not write she would write
with mood swings, like she was upset.
After three weeks she finally told me that her mother was out of
hospital and that she had spent part of the money on hospital and
medication cost. She said that she still have the $2000 pocket money which
is in travelers’ checks and $650 left out of the canceled flight ticket.
I have sent a total of $8670, including money transfer charges by Western
Union. Just as before she is very regretful but she is dying to be with me
and this time she would make no mistakes. She would like me to send her a
total of $1020, part of which $150 to pay for her mother’s hospital
bill, $100 ticket to Moscow and the rest to buy new ticket to USA. She
claims that she sent her passport to Moscow for new VISA validation
therefore she can collect the money in KAZAN without the passport so she
wants me to send the money to her cousin. Every time she tells me that
when she comes to USA she shall pay me all the money back. I have told her
that when if she comes to USA on visitor’s visa she would have to go
back until I would petition for her residency. However, she seems not to
pay attention to that at all, she says she would come to live with me for
ever. If were to do this all over again, it would be certainly different.
What
do you think now I know about this big SCAMMER of KAZAN?
I should have known better way earlier but I procasnated. I would
like to do whatever it takes to get this scammer captured and stopped.
Sincerely,
Robert
