# Details: We started corresponding in November of last year, it started out simply enough, then come December she wanted to spend Christmas and New Years with me, she needed $400 for her passport, I decided to help out after doing a scam search and coming up empty, she assuerd me she was genuine, then she found out that she needed plane fair, which I didnt have, but we kept on communicating, she kept hounding me to find the money for air fare so we could meet, so in early february, I managed to raise the money and I bought her plane tickets, lo and behold shes under contract to a Travel Agency and has to purchase her plane tickets through him. so a few weeks go by I get my tax return, and I send her part of the money 2grand, then she cant pass through the borders without the full 3200, so I borrowed against my car took out two pay day loans and sent her the money, next thing I know is I get an email telling me she got robbed in Moscow, somebody cut her hand bag and took all my money and her I.D.s she is extremely remorseful, then a couple of emails later she needs $800 dollars to replace her documents and exchange her tickets and can I help as her family is broke

I wired the money through MoneyGram, it was in her name, I contacted them to inform them of what had happened, and I was supprised to learn she was never in Moscow, that she picked up money in Yoshkar-Ola, I filed a complaint with the web site Russain Detectives and I also sent a Fax to the Russain Embassy in Mosow
