# Details: I met Tanya through LavaPlace. We corresponded over a year. I even visited her. Her letters were romantic and seemed sincere. During my visit, her attitude changed almost immediately. Our first meeting she acted cold in the very first seconds. She explained that she would not be able to spend any time together, that she had to leave for Keiv the next day. My translator and I had a conversation regarding her after she left. He explained that the Translation Agency had suspicions of her motives. Tanya then explained the next day that the trip to Keiv was cancelled. I was releaved and thought everything was Okay. We spent a few hours together every day. At the end of the trip, while the translator was in the Rest Room, she asked for money to pay for transportation. I did not feel this was an unreasonable request, and gave her some money. We continued to write. She explained in her letters she was experiencing problems at work. One day, she wrote a very romantic letter, and explained she had very personal issues to discuss, and that she would write through her personal Email address, tatianalav1963@mail.ru. For some reason I never got any letters. One of the Directors of the Translation Agency urged me to call her on her phone. She put my account on hold, and he explained that Tanya would be writing through her own Email address. I called Tanya at 38-097-858-52-28. She made it seem as if she was experiecing a financial crises due to work, and asked that I send her money. Foolishly, I did through Western Union. She explained she needed constant support for her family. When I asked her for a sign of committment, all her correspondence almost stopped. Instead of writing regularly like she did in the past, the letters grew weeks apart. She explained that if I bought her a home computer, she could write more frequently. However, I noticed she was still using dating sites on a regular basis. They always posted her activity dates. I got in touch with the Translation Agency asking if she still remained a client. Their answer was, "Yes". Tanya also told me that the Agency would no longer translate her letters. When I questioned the Agency, they explained that this was a lie. I cotnued to write to Tanya through the Agency who gave her my letters, and through her personal Email addresses. She stopped writing altogether. The translation Agency told me they are deleting her profile. I have been in contact with the other dating sites to make them aware of her corrupt behavior, as well as the American Embassy, Western Union, and the FBI.

The money was sent through Western Union in the name of Tatiana Lavrenko. It appears everyone involved is cooperating by deleting her profile so far. It was not so much the money that became an issue, it was the way it was done, and the people she used and involved in her scheme.
