Hi! Thank's a lot for your answer!

Telling from the beginning that profile wasn't mine, I know a woman who is on a dating site.
It was a profile of that woman, but she let me find someone from the dating site from her profile. I don't know how to use the site, I'm not sure what could I write for the first time, I'm sending my photos... I have many photos. Let me know and I can send more pics!

I'm looking forward to visiting your beautiful country and I would like to find a man over there who will be interested in meeting me!

I've never been abroad before and I would like to visit it so much!

I'm looking for a friend, lover or maybe even something serious... I'm a free bird now, I don't have a boyfriend and I'm open to anything!!! Pls send me your photos and write me about yourself!!!!

I would like to have a serious relationship although I don't know if that's possible in internet so
I'm looking just for a good man who can show me over there and....... we will see!!!!!!!! I hope you like my pics!

I`m 27 years old, I hope my age is ok for you?? My height is 5.6 live in Russia.In small town in deep of Ural. May I hope that you will write me back? I hope so much!
Also I hope I'm your type of girl, I'm not sure you like Slavic appearance!!

OK, I will wait for your answer. When I hear back from you I will write more things about myself and send more pics!

Valeriya (this is my real name)


Hello!!! This is me again!

It is my first time I try to correspondence with man in internet world.

The thing is that I will work abroad for six months or so and I would like to meet a nice man to
be my guide or just be good friend to spend time with. I think that it is hard enough to live in foreign town without friends. I am from a small town here in Russia, I don't want to be alone over there without any relatives or friends!

I want to see the real life over there and maybe you will be able to tell me more about your culture and life over there and give me some information in general! You know, life in Russia is rather difficult,especially in small towns. I don't want to live in Russia because I have not any chances here,it is hardly possible to explain but I want you to know my plans.I saw many stories in news on tv about girls who started a new life and decided to work abroad...

So I decided to do the same and to try to find my luck abroad. I started to register my documents about 2 months ago, so I will travel soon and I will be allowed to work!

You see I already started to register documents and now I need to decide in which city I want to work. I`m 27 years old and I`m a hardworking lady! (I will work as a dance teacher).

You know, I`m a professional dancer, I dance in group on festivals, wedding celebrations etc.

But when I will arrive (I will travel alone) I will work as a dance teacher (instructor), I have an international certificate. I can teach ball dances and sport dances. I want to work hard and change my life! You see that maybe I'm too naive but I still believe in miracles to come!

I decided to find a friend and make his city to be my destination.

I think it is great chance to change my life. I am full of plans and dreams!

My hair is blonde and I have mixed color of eyes (it depends on lightening)... I think I'm somewhat pretty, but first of all I want to be beautiful inside. I do hope that you will be not disappointed to meet me in the real life when we meet.

I will leave my town in a few days or so (I can't tell you everything exactly right now) and I would like to be sure I have a man who is waiting for me over there. I will work hard and I would like to find a man to spend my free time together to get to know each other better and have some fun together.

If you have any interest to meet me I will be more then happy to meet you too.

If you want I can call you when we get to know each other better it would be nice to talk to you.
Sorry I really have to go now. I will write more next time, my sister is waiting for me and I have to go!


Bye-bye!!! Valeriya (for short you can call me Lera)

Hello xxxxx!!!

This is me again!

I think I should write you more things about me, I hope it will be interesting for you to know me better! My birthday is 21 of January 1982. I am a Aquarius. I'm 167 cm tall (5.6) and 51 kg weight. I don't know exactly my bust-waist-hips measurements, I don't have a reason to measure it because I think it's OK and my body is proportionate I am a christian and on Sundays I go to Church. I've never been married, don't have kids but I love them and they love me! I don't smoke, drink occasionally. My favourite color is blue. As for my family - I live
with my mother and my brother. My mother is 48 years old, her name is Valentina, I love her very much. I have a sister, her name is Zoya, she is already married and she lives with her husband. I also have a younger brother, his name is Maksim. He is very clever and he wants to be a naval officer like our father. My father was a great person, he was courageous and
brave. He is an ideal man for me. My father died in auto crash 7 months ago... My mum cried but now she is ok, she will never meet another man because my father was the only man in her life and now her aim in life is to grow up our brother. It was my mother's idea to try to work to another country. She loves me very much and she thinks that its impossible to earn good money in russia.

My mother read many stories about girls who found their happiness abroad and now she wants me to do the same. As I wrote you I live in Russia, the name of my town is Krasnoufimsk it is situated in Sverdlovskaya Obl. (District). It will be great if you also tell me some interesting facts about your city. I don`t remeber if I told you or not but I graduated from
Ekaterinburg University two years ago, Economy faculty but I don't work on my specialization because I can't find a good job here in economy sphere, my city is so small. I don`t use any translators and I can speak and write English well. I write my emails from Internet cafe, we have a computer but no Internet. If you want I can call you when we get to know each other better it would be nice to talk to you.

Today I'm going to tell my mother about you, I'm sure she will be happy I've met someone over there who can show me around! I hope you are not getting bored to read my emails? It's a pity there is no messenger here, so we can talk only using e-mails...

My address here is Russia, Krasnoufimsk, Serova street 37, flat 71.

So now you have a representation of who I am....I just can tell you I enjoy life and I try to live to the fullest, I like to try new things. I'm very tender, caring, artistic, faithful, decent person. Sometimes I can be not well organized, I think everybody had it's own minuses and pluses. I don't look any special qualities in a man. I just hope he will be faithful to me and ready to create a happy family with me and I will do everything to make him happy. I'm looking for a soulmate!

Do you look for any special qualities?

Bye!

Valeriya

P.S. Forgot to say I'm sending a pic with my sister, my father and me(2 years ago).


Hello dear xxxxx!

I think I'm a lucky girl to meet such good man as you in Internet! I hope I will be lucky enough to meet you in the real life soon! Yesterday I told my mom about you.

She said that now she doesn`t worry about me as before because now she knows you are a kind man and can help me if I need your help. You can show me your city and tell me more about the life over there! I think I didn't write you I like cooking. I can cook some Russian dishes for you! Pelmeni, vareniki, blini, borsch, okroshka! You will like it! Besides Russian cuisine I like Italian and Mexican. I love spaghetti and pizzza!!!!! mmmmmmm ! I can't live without it! I like Mexican food because it's very spicy, although I don't cook Mexican dishes too often. I've been told my cooking is very tasty! I like to cook cakes. My favorite is cheese-cake with raspberry! You know... when I talk about food I'm getting hungry I eat everything and I don't like any diets but usually I don't eat after 7 pm. This helps me not to be fat! I can cook many tasty things for you when we meet! Sometimes I like to listen to music.

I like almost all kind of Music and my favourite one is pop music and classical. You know.. almost all Russian men are like bears! They are so rude, they can't be nice and polite, they don't want to have a family. I think you are not like them. I like to go to the cinema! I really like to watch a good movie with my friends. 50 percents of movies in our cinemas are Russian
and about 50 American. Actually my favorite actor is Johnny Depp and I like all movies with him. I've watched Pirates of the Carribean (part 3) some time ago! I think the third part is not as good as the first part. Have you seen it?

Could you recommend me any movie so I can watch it? What is your favorite movie and actor?

Soooooooooooooooo......... what else could I say? Sometimes I go to the theatre but not often.
There is only one small theatre in my city and there is nothing interesting. If I want to watch a good play I should go to the nearest big city, there sometimes can come some famous Russian actors and dancers but I can't go there often because it's quite expensive.

I want you to know small things about my life, because it will show you who I am.
Ok, I think I will finish my e-mail for today and I should go home to cook some food for my mom and brother!

Valeriya

PS I'm sending more pics this time! They were taken in Sochi one year ago.

Hello xxxxx!!

How are you? I'm ok!!!

I just returned from my work. It was my last day at work,they tell that there are so sorry that I leave them and they have great hope that I will return back one day soon I have told not any promises. My boss is very nice woman and she is really sorry that I leave them she says that I am very good worker and she thinks that she will have problems to find different girl like me
to work. But she understand that I want to leave this country because of so many problems for young girls here and every days there are new ones because of finance crisis here a lot.

I told my friends about you and everybody said they will cross one's fingers for us and they hope you are a good man and we will like each other! to be fair I feel myself so sad... I will miss my work...

I almost cry now... anyway I don't want to make any steps back and I want to continue my arrangements. Please forgive me but today I have not time to write long letter again. After sending this email I will go home, take my packed bags and go to Ekaterinburg! It is a nearest big city and there is an airport.

From there I will fly to Moscow! I`m really afraid to fly on a plane! I hope my plane will not fall down! I'm really afraid! It is several hours from here to Moscow.

I've never been to Moscow before and I'm so nervous now...I had such great desire to start my trip already.. and now I feel myself like a newborn kitten who has even didn't open it's eyes...I just want to hug my mom and don't want to go anywhere... but I know that's my dream to start a new life and I will try to turn in to reality!

Soon you will hear some news from me from Moscow!!!!!!!!I do hope you are really kind man
and will not make me sad!??!!?!?!right!??!?I`m so exited we will meet soon!

I will be able to find a work as soon as I will arrive to you, so I won`t have money problems.

You know I sent documents for visa to moscow about 2 months ago, so when I will arrive
to moscow my visa will be already ready!!well,I have to run,I think I will be able to send
letter from moscow tomorrow but if not please don't worry I m not sure how long I will need time to find rent room and cyber cafe.

Please wait for me and don't look at different girls, you know I am the best!!! (joke) and please forgive me that every time I have not time but when we meet we will have a lot of time to talk and you will know all about me then!

I hope I'm the one for you!

Your Valeriya


My dear xxxxx,

Like I told you I was interviewed at the Embassy about my visa. I was asked a lot of different questions,like my background, salary, the aim of my arrival to (your country) and other form questions. Thanks God the interview went well and my visa is ready to be issued. I was so happy to hear such wonderful news, since in fact it means, that we have to wait just a few days to be finally together. I would finally kiss you and give you the warmest hug and it would be for real indeed.

But I was also told about one stupid thing which I must do. Now they have new rules this rule is not official. I am so nervous and I even don't know how to tell you that. You see I have to show 2000$ at the Customs here in Moscow and in your country.

As I was explained that each person from former republics of Soviet Union arriving to your country should have this amount of money. it is necessary to prove my "financial stability" and ability to travel In (your country) and to pay for all charges. It is necessity, because many people especially single women arriving to your country do a lot of crime or something illegal.

Now the rules to pass the Customs are harder especially after terrorist actions which happen in your and my country. Now I can pass customs only showing this money to prove. I understand, that it is a good rule for your country from the point of view of safety.

But what shall we do now? I even couldn't imagine this will be such big sum of money 2000$.

My dear,if only we knew about this stupid rule, we would prepare for that. We are so close to each other but we need to solve this problem.

xxxxx, please understand that I do not need to spend this 2000$, I only need to show at customs to pass it. Unfortunately for example your support letter will not help me.

I am now far from friends and I can not expect for their help. And even if I were near my family and friends now they would still not help me because they don't have this sum of money. My dear, now I hope only for your help. I shall pray God about it. The happiness is so close, but I cannot make anything.

It is not in my power. if I don't pass the Customs now as planned my visa will become
invalid and I will not be able to enter (your country) durig at least a few years. I am shocked and you are my only hope in this situation.

We cannot lose each other xxxxx, especially now. The positive moment in this situation is that I repeat againI don't need to spend this money,I will only show it at the Customs.

I need only show money, I shall not spend it. I am very much worried. You are my sunshine in the darkness because in this world full of cruely you managed somehow to get deep into my heart.

You are really a man and I ask you not to give up. Maybe if you don't have this money you can borrow from your friends for a few days and I will give it to you as soon as we meet at the airpot. Please try to get the money.

I know you are a strong man and you will not give up!!!
I need in your moral support!
I am all alone in this cold and angry city and only you are my hope and support!

With all my greatfullness, respect and heart

Your Valeriya

Hello dear xxxxx!!!

I feel so sad and heart broken because of this situation. I know that it is great of money for you and it is also a great sum of money for me. I contacted my family, I tried to borrow the money everywhere I could, but useless. I don't know what to do now. I so much want to come to you and meet you and I though we could be a great couple together.

I know that it is a lot of money and everybody lives from "check to check" I really don't know
what to do. I am crying and the I do believe that our meeting be something magic and extraordinary...

Don't you want me to be with you???

Tell me honestly!!!! We can meet each other, I can get a good job and earn good money,don't you agree? I just want to change my life better.

I am going to work but not to be a girl who is living on someone's money....

I thought that it would be great if I am not alone there in your country because you know it is kinda dangerous to go to other coutry alone. I like you and somehow you managed to get deep into my heart. I do want to come to you, be with you and have a good job. I don't ask you
just to give me this money. I ask you about a loan. If only I could, I would never ask you for help.

I'm sending you a copy of my passport in case you need it. I have my pics on documents!!!!!! I look so surly there....and ugly..... I like to smile! It's a pity it's forbidden to smile on photos for
documents. Do you usually like yourself on your pics for documents? I hope you can trust me more now,

I swear I'm not going to do anything to hurt your feelings, I'm an honest girl!

Your Valeriya


I've got all the information and I'm resending it for you!! I am here after my visit to the consulate and to the agency I am so happy to say we will meet in few days!!!! I am really lucky girl to meet you.

Honey the thing is that I booked the nearest possible flight but I have a little problem and I really hope you will be able to help me. You see I never expected I will ask you for such help but I have nothing else to do. You know my mom promised to send me money for tickets by western union as soon as I will find out prices but she was told on her work that because of economic crisis she will receive all the money she saved from every months salary only in a few months. So thats why she can`t send me all the sum for tickets now and she was able to send only 200$ I have got it today. I wanted to ask you to help me to pay for my tickets directly but they tell I can't use your help or ask you about sending me tickets because I have a permission to use the help of the travel agency only because they do all travel things and it is their business to arrange all travel things for my trip, such is the law. It is not possible to get a work visa without the help of the agency, they have too strict rules of getting visas. I was sure my mom will help me because she promised but now she sent a letter explaining it is possible only in few months or so because of economic crisis. I was in the bank to try to ask them a loan but they said I need to have a registration in Moscow to get a loan from their bank and I don't have it! I think it is not great problem for you to help me. I even hope maybe it will be pleasure to help me because you are my knight, right? after all payments here and my flight from Ekaterinburg

I have about 700 dollars of my own money and I need about 950 US dollars from your side because I have to pay for my tickets and few more things, and I have to pay in advance about 1590 dollars. This price includes all arrangements of documents and everything. I have to be sure that I will be able to book my tickets or I will lose all the money I gave them in advance. I'm not going to ask one more time for your help, you see I am in such situation... I will be waiting for your answer. I know it sounds like I am a poor outsider but you see I don't have enough time to find the money I need and find somebody to help me, you know my mom gave me all she could collect for my travel. I hate to ask but now I don't have any other choice. I need some help from you, please help me to leave Moscow and it is all I ask now. Kiss you, counting days and minutes before our meeting.

You know it is only money, and I think it is not too hard for you to help me, you see I have such chance only once in my life. I know you are a kind man and I hope you will be able to help me. I promise I will return all the money and I will earn money because I am ready to work as hard as I can! You know my rent address here is

Russia, Moscow, Stromynka 41, flat - 93.
Remember my full name is Valeriya - (first name)
Tcherepanowa - (last name).

It is right writing in English, and you should put it on Money Gram or western union list and you can choose any bank in Moscow, they tell it is international service and I can pick up the money at any bank of Moscow.

They said I can get only Money Gram or western union transfer because I have not any bank accounts in Moscow and I have only passport and it is enough to get it!

If you need the address of Money Gram or Western Union in Moscow is

PROMSVJAZBANK
STROMYNKA, 18,
Moscow, 107076
+7-495-2680015


Actually I've been told you can send it to any of their offices. I can call you as soon as I receive the transfer to let you know about it. And please after you complete a transfer write me the number of your transfer, I'm not sure how it's call but they will give you a number of your transfer.

Million of Kisses,
Your Valeriya

P.S. I am not sure I should tell this but I want to let you know if you don't like me when I come I will not bother you and it is only your choice to spend time with me or not. I know you may be too busy, and in any case I will return the money back. I can have a room for rent if I want, a job and I want to say please don't worry I don't want to use you just to reach my goal. I am sure when we meet we will have no regrets about it, I promise.

Please, don't leave me alone I've done so much to start this trip and I don't want to give up. And I can stay more than six months, I can stay longer and I can prolong my visa. I want to get to know you better..... to learn more things about you, to touch your hand.. look in your eyes..

Hello dear xxxxx!

It's difficult for me to ask you for help but I want to be honest - I don't earn much in Russia. I hope you'll understand me.

I've never asked anyone for anything like this so I feel ill at ease.

The only thing that makes me do it is my great desire to be with you.

I hope it won't be an unsolvable problem for you. Our lifes depend for happiness on money. It's so unfair! So that's the progress of our meeting.

I think of you all the time missing you. You're so neccessary for me that it's difficult for me staying here alone without you. If only you happen to know how badly I wait for the time I'll be able to come to you!

I want to come to you, to hug you to feel you're real and it wasn't just a dream. I can't wait to be together with you. If we managed to create serious and trustful relationships, I would be the happiest woman in the world. I have very serious intentions to you. After a long time I feel I've found someone who'll care of me and support. I'm absolutely honest with you now and I really want to spend the rest of my life with you.

My feelings to you are so strong that I'm scared to death to lose you.

I appreciate you so much! I need real love, trust and honesty. I begging God to give me a chance to meet you. I want to know you better and experience happiness. Maybe then we will want to create a family and to be together...

Your Valeriya

Welcome to Scamwarners upalnite31577.

I am glad you have realised that this is a scammer and suggest you cease all contact.

Unfortunately there are many scammers on dating sites.

They are callous professional thieves and have no morals or conscience.

These guides here may help you spot them;

A few basic ideas that may help keep you safer when online;

Never send money to anyone you do not personally know.

Do not be quick to trust, do not give personal details or share photographs.

Be careful what you post on the net.

Do not put others at risk by being careless.

Be extra cautious and learn how to use Google to check things out.

Not everyone out there is truthful or trustworthy.


Please post any questions or concerns - a support team member will be glad to help.
