Mail order brides scam, international marriage scam, Russian women scam - let's fight it!

Hi, my Bob! I am very glad to write good news from you! And I
am very glad, that we can achieve each other these days! Now I am
confident, that we shall meet..
I have arrived to Russia, Moscow, it's Really Crazy city ! I was not here
since the childhood, all has very changed here. I was met by my cousin
Oksana, We long time did not meet! She is very glad for me, and she send
Hi to you! She invites us) I am confident that we can to visit these
countries once. My prince I have not stopped on it and later we with my
cousin, have gone to office of this airline, company that reserves airway
tickets. I asked them how I can reach Albuquerque and how much it costs.
They've told me that the roundtrip flight to your airport cost 2187 USD.
It was too expensive for me and I've asked them to find the cheapest variant.
And they've offered. It would be on the August 23 I have learned, that cost of
tickets up to in one party will make 685 dollars, I was wondered if it was
possible to reserve a ticket and to pay for it a part of the funds this
time and the other part later, because other people can buy the cheap
ticket and I'm not. But they've refused and I was in despair! I've asked
them to help me so long time that tears have come to my eyes! And they've agreed!
I have learned, that now return tickets are necessary for the proof of that
I independently can return . But there is an opportunity to change return
the ticket on money in your country, or to change date. To me have told,
that if will take return tickets the discount at a rate of 5% is given,
it turns out that 685+685=1370 dollars and will subtract 5% these are 68
dollars that will make 1302 dollars, but still it is necessary to add to
this sum of 10% from cost for registration of tickets and meal,
it will turn out 1432 dollars,
6:45 am Depart Moscow (MOW)
Arrive Albuquerque 8:40 pm August 23
The dollar exchange rate has fallen here and it is the
cheapest tickets of an economic class, is cheaper a way to arrive to you I
is not present. It was the best variant for me. They have told that I can
pay a part of money now, and the other part later. it is possible, but I
will be limited by term. And if I will not pay the full cost of the ticket
within of this term, I will lose already nested money. I have agreed
because it is the only chance for me, because I must give to anti-emigration
committee a data about my payment. By this moment I had only the concrete
sum of money which I had after all my expenses. I paid 770 USD. But it was
not enough for them. In a panic, all what and I could do - I pawned my gold
earrings and rings In a pawnshop and I got 178 USD. That is all I could do.
I know that probably I simply must tell that I can't come to you because I
haven't the remaining sum. I know that I promised to do all by self, and I
was sure that I can. I did not want to ask you. But after I did everything
I did, I cannot simply tell that I will not come to you. I have passed
through so many difficulties, and I have overcome the most difficult.
But all the same I have disgusting feeling that I could not fulfill the promise.
I am always ready to do all what is possible,- to fulfill my promises, but
at the same time I understand that any person could get in such a situation.
To get the visa and all papers I have spent much more money than I expected.
But people were ready to help me only if I will pay them. I paid more
than 500 dollars to get all documents, I paid in municipal committee,
in the ministry. Even officers in army garrison have compelled me to
pay for their help. I did not expect all this, but up to the last
moment I was sure that I still can make everything. I expected that I
can get a vacation payment. But I have received only a part. We get
other part a vacation payment in three weeks. Besides, I have been
compelled to buy new windows for my apartment. But I cannot leave my
apartment with broken windows. And of course I have been compelled to pay
much for it. I feel so guilty. I was sure that nothing can prevent our
meeting. But I must pay remaining sum. It is 481 USD. And I must pay funds
before August 21, morning. Otherwise I will lose my nested funds and our
jewelry will be sold out simply in vain. I know that I should not ask you,
and I am very ashamed to do it. And maybe I really simply had to tell you
that I can't meet with you because I could not provide my travel completely.
But I cannot simply refuse our meeting because then all my diligence,
forces, nerves, means will be spent in vain. I understand that it is big
sum to lend me. You are not obliged to help me. And 500 dollars which I
have spent to get the visa, and 948 $ that I have given for the ticket also
I restored a windows in an apartment before departure. It all are huge
funds for me. But I want you to know that I have given everything not for
the sake of myself, but for the sake of us, for the sake of you and me. And
I was happy all this time. If you want to meet me, to help me to make our
meeting, please, transfer funds to the help before August 21, morning.
I do not know if you want to help me or already not.
But i think you have told that I should let you know if there is
anything you can do to help me. I believe you even though I am afraid
to ask. But I have no other exit. I need you Bob. If you can
help me I will tell you what I have found out. Here we have remittance system.
And I have addressed to the most convenient bank. I have been told
that they use the systems "WesternUnion" and "MoneyGram". They have told
that it is the American systems. And there I can receive your help very
fast and I will be absolutely safety. But I cannot receive funds
personally, because I have no the Russian registration. In Moscow all is
very strict. And Muscovites do not love visitors, and they have own laws.
Therefore You should transfer them into any office(bank) here in Moscow for
Oksana Shumilina (My cousin)!!! we shall receive funds with her together.
For an example, near there is a office: Alfa Bank. Tverskaya St. 27
Stroenie 1-2 Moscow, 103050 Russia. My registration address : Svetlana
Plugaru. Moldova; Glodeni; Str.Vasile Zgarcea 4-17 code:6645
There I have been told, that to get the money, we must
tell to employee of bank(agent) your full name, your full address, exact
sum which I should receive and some confidential numbers - Reference Number.
You will get this number in your office if you will send your help.
Only with presence of all this information I can get your help. Also
hey have told that funds it is possible to send online through a site
WesternUnion.com And I will give you back all your funds at the
earliest opportunity probably in 2-3 weeks. I think about you Bob
all the time! I think about a meaning of funds, and I'm very sad if these
papers can prevent people to meet each other. In most cases the funds play
a main role in the life but it's not right! I do not know what answer I
will get from you Bob. I very much am afraid that you will not help
me. But I want to tell, that I really need you, and I simply can't endure
the thought that I did almost everything, but I will not meet you. I have
given all my forces, but together we are stronger. Are you with me?

Write to me soon!
With love, Your Svetlana.
