I had been receiving emails everyday for almost a year from a person named Elena Polushina Vladimirovna form Yoshkar Ola, Mari El, Russia. I kept every one. I received several photos of her, which I also have stored. She also provided a physical address, probably just as bogus. She matches the "Santa's Bitch" photo. I received numerous phone calls from this scandalous girl. This clever scammer is very patient and creative. This individual did not ask for money until about four months in. She said she needed to buy a computer and install a phone line in her mom's house. I did not send anything. She persisted to write and call not asking for money. Later after a couple months I broke, convinced she was for real. I sent $100 through Western Union despite their warnings. I later sent another $200. We continued with the emails and calls. I sent her $426 for a visa and hotel stay in Moscow. I sent her $976 for airfare. Then $1700 or so for customs. I won't discuss the amounts spent in preparation for her arrival. I was left standing at the airport, no Elena. She gave good flight info but never had booked anything. She wrote a few days later and said she had been arrested at the airport and needed $2400 or so for her fine. At that point I really didn't have any more to give and even if I did, I wouldn't do it. She wrote several times later and eventually stopped writing as I told her she was not getting any more money. I also added I might show up there ( probably should of done that in the first place). Here is the deal. The money is not important. She was really good at the scam, I must give that to her. Any one that defends this woman on this or any site is in on it with her. I had really enjoyed the words she wrote and said, although they proved to be expensive and false. However dismal this scam was, my ex-wife makes this woman look like an angel. My purpose of writing is for information purposes only. Yeah, I got burned too. The irony for her is that she could have taken me for far more money if she would have arrived. I always knew that there was more to her (intentions) than the friendly words and promises. Let's face it, I had my intentions for her too. She had a couple of addresses. livestylelady2006@yandex.ru and lenapolush@msn.com. She always called from different phone numbers. She claimed them to be payphones. The numbers are on my cell phone bills. I have many clues to solve the scam. I guess I am over the anger/pain/embarassment of it. This is the first attempt to validate the scam, since I am not alone. A few months have passed since the mess. I hope that the information is useful. Unfortunately I didn't see this site until it was way too late but oh well, you live and learn. I still think Russian women are desirable. Perhaps I will travel there someday and scam some of them out of their panties. Nevertheless, I have something great no matter what happens that she does not have, America! LMAO
P.S. I met a young Russian couple in the states that know plenty of single Russian females already in the US!

Leon, first of all is a pity to me that you have lost 300 $, but probably you were mistaken! I got acquainted with the girl by name Irina, but her surname Loshina. She asked money for tickets about 1500 $. I have sent them to her. Then she called to me and has told that are necessary for her of money to pass customs house about 2500 $, I too have sent them also now lives with me! She has arrived we have met at the airport and are happy in a marriage!

Irina Polushina contacted me and after a few mails and a phone call(!), she told me that she felled in love with me. Then a while later she told me that her mother is very ill and that she needs money. I did not send money.
The pictures she sent are different from the one here, and her email is at yandex.ru. Her address is exactly the same.

I am author of one of the black-listings at this site. I once had the same heartache as Leon now is going through so I am well known to it. My remedy was twofold. Firstly, to collect all what I knew about her and construct a virtual conversation with her, like a theatre dialogue complete with settings, room, our garment, gestures and talkings. Secondly I followed her from agency to agency and had her removed again and again, if they did not respond at once I flooded them with other scammers I also had found at their database. This was of course possible because I had met her personally, talked with her etc. I paid a local PI to get me more info to facilitate it further.
So fact is, she has been removed from 15 - fifteen agencies... and is by now at that den of scammers Absolute.
