# Details: Here is a new way of scamming. She said that she was working in Abernant, Alabama. She what here in the US working with children. She even gave me a phone number with a 202 area code that went to a voice mail everytime that I called. After about a month, she stated that she had to go back to Russia, but she would be back. She let me know when she got back to Russia and that she was getting her papers together to come back to the US. She wanted to come stay with me on her return trip for a couple of weeks before she had to report back to work in Alabama. She even sent pictures of what was her boss and her child. She is very, very good.

  Details: Hello honey. How are you my dear Kevin? I missing you and hope you are ok. I have got some news for today. There are good and not very good. I'll start with the pleasant news. I was in the department today and they told me that my visa is almost ready, and I booked ticket to the US. So I'm ready to fly out in the nearest days. I'm so happy, everything is arranged so quick. I'm happy that we have a chance to meet. But I also got an unpleasant news in the department. They informed me that there is a problem with my credit payment found. The reason is that couples years ago I took a little credit in the bank to help my parents with buying new house. I paid fees when I was in Russia and it is my last payment left to the bank, but I delayed the payment being in the US and now bank demands to make this payment and pay all fees for delay. It is not large sum of money but they told me in the department that bank could resist about my depart to the US. So I have to make this payment if I want to fly out. I have money it is not a problem. But I have spend almost everything I had with me to buy a ticket and pay for visa. I know that I still have my salary in America and I can rely on it. I need just $630 to do my last payment to the bank. And I want to do it as soon as possible and fly to the US. So I thought that I can ask you to help me in this situation. I want to get my salary in the US to make this payment, and that's why I have a question for you. Can you lend me that money now, so I will give it back to you when I will be in US. I don't want to insist, but I'm sure that you would like to help me. I know it is a question of trust and support. I think that I will not be able to get that sum here in Russia, because unfortunatly it is big money here. Look, if you can send me that sum today I will be able to make this payment and fly out next day. I have everything ready for that. If you will not help me I cann’t be able to leave Russia. And also it means that I will not be able to celebrate the the fifth anniversary of our center in America as I dreamed, and it makes me sad:( But now I want to believe that you will help me and understand my situation. I want you to know that I don't insist on my request. I don't know your situation with money right now. I can trust you my trouble otherwise I wouldn't ask you to help. And I know that you can trust me enough to help me, you know, I can't disappoint you. So here it is, the problem is not very huge but I need to solve it now. I will wait for your answer and if you decided to send money right now, please do it through Western Union, using this info my name and address:
  
  
  My first name(name): Svetlana
  My last name (surname): Narkomova
  My country: Russia
  My town: Kazan
  My postcode: 420078
  My adress: Biruzovaya str. house 23 appartment 38
  
  It will be very fast and easy for me to get the money. I already used Western Union, when sent money to the parents from US and it is very easy. When you send the money I will need to know MTCN number and your full name and address which you filled in the Western Unioin papers. Dear, I want you to know that I don't insist on your help, I just want to be in time for the fifth anniversary of our center, and I wanted to trust you my little problem. If you can't help me now please, inform me anyway. So I will wait letter, sorry for that urgent news, hope I don't bother you much. XOXOXO. I will try to call you, I want to hear your voice now. Missing you much. Kissing, Svetik!
  
  Svetik contacted me a total of 22 times. All of this occurred between May and June of this year. She is very convincing!
  Needless to say, she didn't get one dime from me and all other e-mails went unanswered.
  
  This girl is really good! As Douglas stated, she is working in Abearnaut, Alabama with orpan russian children. Then suddenly she must return to the Russian Federation to report to the Dept Of Education there. Then she cannot return because she had made a payment for her parents home and her credit is messed up.
  She tried through teo different e-mails to solicit funds for her return.
  All of the pics posted her are identical to the ones she sent me.
  She has a great story.....but beware of the scammer!
  Kazan seems to be the mecca for scammers. No money from me .........besause I investigated her first.
  On another note, no money from me she stopped all communication. Just voice mail on her number and no return e-mail.
