# Details: As Vera (venera2006r@list.ru), she emailed 2 photos that are the same as photos #7 and #9 on the Black List listing for Marina (marinshka76@rambler.ru). She made up a story that it was unsafe for me to visit her or to travel anywhere in Russia, saying that I would be attacked and killed by gangs of kids who roam the streets looking for foreigners. I know that is a lie, as I travelled quite a bit in Russia for a month last year on my own, and I had no problems and saw no evidence supporting her story, and in fact, many people helped me with directions and with language translation. In about 4 letters, she insisted that I could not visit her, and that she must visit me in the USA and that I would have to send her the money. I told her that she could visit me if she wanted to, but that she would have to pay for her travel expenses, as I would not send money to someone I have never met, as it says on the CupidBay website. She did not answer that email for 11 days, and she was not too happy with my refusal to send money. She has been writing to me for 2 months, and many of the things she told me did not sound believable, so it did not surprise me to see her photos in a black list under a different identity.
