# Name:      Olga Baklanova

# Address:  Russia , Kazan

# Seen at:   Webdate.com

# Dangerous: 32%

# Details: I met Olya Baklanova in Aug 2004 through Webdate.com . ( Olya is russian for Olga ) Olga Baklanova – passport # 67 75 47684556 ( use inside russia for travel ) Home address Les Naya 18, Kazan
  We emailed at least twice per week on direct email . Olgafineledyes@gawab.com Her letters were sincere, and sometimes slightly mis-worded because she claimed to use a computer translator. In Nov 2004 we decided to have her begin processing a travel visa and documents . I sent her $700 through Western Union to proceed.
  I started Chemo therapy at this time for one year.
  Some time after I sent the money, she claimed her “mum” was sick with pneumonia and asked if she could use part of the money for medical supplies for her “mum” . I complied and told her to go ahead.
  Her birthday followed and I oofered to have her use the remaining money for a present. We emailed at least twice per week for almost a year ! Never once did she ask for money.
  Her email letters were very caring and portrayed a lady who was sincere and legitimate.
  In Nov 2005 ( one year later ) I offered to pay for her travel to visit me in the US. I was now done with my chemo therapy. I very much wanted to meet Olya.
  I offered to arrange her air travel in purchasing tickets myself . She claimed she had two other girlfriends who successfully met American men , and they went through a Russian travel agency. I was given another email address for Ksenya with “Travel on the World” travel agency. Ksenyasafa@yandex.ru.
  I contacted Ksenya for details of travel costs. She seemed legitimate and cooperative.
  In Sept 2005 I sent Olya $2000 for travel expenses via Western Union . The money was for Ksenya to arrange airfare , and for Olya to obtain travel visa etc.
  Ksenya sent me flight itinerary which all connected well and were actual flights.
  Both Ksenya and Olya then soon asked me for $450 for olya to travel to Moscow to the embasy to pick up her visa. Naturally – I complied - but complained to Ksenya for not being up front about this extra expense. Olya supposedly made the trip to Moscow and told me that the Moscow embasy told her she needed to posess $2800 ( $70 per day while in USA ) to show she can sustain herself.
  Olya’s visit date was coming up very soon now .
  I was really angry with Ksenya at this point for not letting me know about this earlier.
  Staring at the cash ($2800) on my coffee table – and reality finally hit me .
  I had no evidence that Olya’s flights had her logged as a passenger . Something was rotten in Denmark!
  I phoned the airlines ( Delta and Aeroflot ) and found Olya not booked on the flights !!!!
  I emailed Ksenya and demanded flight confirmation numbers and copy of her contract with Olya.
  Ksenya had all kinds of excuses why she couldn’t provide this information .
  Then it really hit me - I BEEN SCAMMED !!! ( $3200 )
  Olya emailed me recently and pretended to be crying and upset that I accused her of a swindle.
  I have since posted a complaint with the IFCC and local Sheriff’s Dept .
  The money is gone , but the whole experience still baffles me . How could someone send such convincing letters twice per week for a year and not ask for a dime ????
