# Details: This Scam Alert is being issued based upon evidence provided from one source but The Author also reviewed copies of e-mail from Ms. Kirshina which clearly supports the fact that she accepted thousands of dollars in gifts, travel and other expensens. Reportedly there has been more than one victim. It should be noted that initially A Foreign Affair listed Ms. Kirshina in its "scammer section" but has since backed her to some extent--evidently believing after interviewing Ms. Kirshina that she sincerely terminated the relationship and had not created it solely for monetary gain. Whether this is a case of "Sour Grapes" remains to be determined. Additional reports should further illuminate the facts in the future. MODUS OPERANDI: Running the Standard (gifts), possibly Visa/Travel Scenarios but usually the "Deep Marriage Con." Reportedly she has taken thousands of dollars from her victims while perpetuating the relationship. SIGNATURE: She appears to favour the "tours" and may be listed with several tour companies.
