  Here is the story and proof:
  
  
  
  My name is Ben,
  
   I am a 49 years old and divorced; I met Ludmila Divachenko on friendfinder.com in August of 2004. She contacted me and after the first letter, requested that I e-mail her at divagomel@yahoo.com . This was because she was leaving friendfinder.com due to the monthly charge which she could not afford. (Please note she is still there) She began to ask for money in the 2nd letter. This was for interpreters. Over the next two months I sent her 600.00 for interpreters. We communicated by e-mail or phone on a regular basis. She suggested that we set up a meeting in Warsaw Poland. I declined but agreed to come to Gomel, Belarus and meet her. While I was waiting to come see her she had a series of tragedies she requested money for. A robbery in the Ukraine, her Mothers sudden illness and hospitalization, a family emergency in Moscow and finally eye surgery. She arranged a small rat-trap apartment for me to stay in by myself when I came to Gomel. She could not stay with me as she did not know me well enough. I was charged 70.00 per night for what was little more than a prison cell. I was picked up at the airport in Minsk by her, an interpreter and a driver in an old broken down truck. This truck overheated several times on the way to Gomel and I was quite surprised that it made it at all. I was charged 160.00 for this merry ride. I was charged 100.00 per day for interpreter services. I was taken too small out of the way restaurants where I paid exhorbent charges to feed everyone! I was conned for gifts and other things as well. I was 200 miles from the airport and I could not read, write, speak or hear. I could not have left without her help. I stayed a week and we seemed to get along well. We decided that we would get married and bring her to the US. Of course this led to wedding gifts and such. When I returned to the US I immediately began to process her forms to come to the US. I e-mailed her these forms and requested information from her to complete these forms. She avoided my instructions and requests for this information while she continued to ask for more and more money. Finally I said NO DOCUMENTS, NO MONEY. This made her very angry and she began to accuse me of being self-centered and greedy. This was followed by a new series of tragedyпїЅs and accidents which she requested more money for. I continued to demand the documents and finally she said she needed money for that as well? About this time I found her posted on the anti-scam network. I posted her there as well. Finally I received an e-mail from another gentleman that she had done the exact same thing to. He went to Gomel and met her as well. He stayed in the same apartment, was picked up by the same driver and interpreter. She accepted his marriage proposal and he met the same family members. He was engaged to her and had an open K- 1 visa for her while I was in Gomel proposing to her. This woman and her family are dangerous scammers. Beware and DO NOT SEND MONEY

Hello, dear Ben, Thank you for the nice e-mail and photos. It was very nice to read it and I think you are a very interesting person. You look great and your age is not a problem for me! I hope your children will understand you if you�re second half will be of their age.

I'd like to give you some brief details of me and my personality in general, and tell you some more about my life goals, my dreams, hopes and desires.

I used to live with my parents until I was 17, then I entered the University and left my home place. So, as you can get I do not live with my parents but I try to visit my home as often as I can. My mother is 56, she is pensioner. My father was operated in May 2002; his right lung was removed because of cancer. But unfortunately he passed away on the 31t of October 2002.

Marriage has never been my main target because my real goal in that time was getting a good education. I worked at school from 1994 till 2002. I had a good reputation at work, pupils liked me, considered me to be their friend/I've never had any problems and conflicts with them/ and at the same time I was on good terms with their parents. I left school because I could not live on a small salary of a teacher. My present job brings me a bit more wages. I live along, in the flat which I rent. It s about 20-30 minutes by bus from my work.

And now I want to tell you why I started to look for a foreign man via internet? First of all, it seems to me that foreign men are really more romantic, reliable and open-hearted people, plus they are more financially secure/ and that plays not the last role/because /may be I will sound a bit straightforward/but I think that money rules the world but anyway I want to confess that I felt lot of loss in my life and in the future I want to have normal and comfortable life, with happy, healthy children and what is the main reason for me is I do not want my husband to blame me that he got married with me while I was poor. And why I am looking for Him via internet because in our country there is no opportunity to find a good foreign man...and I really believe with all my heart that I will find here!

Anyway, as every woman in the world I have certain demands to my future husband and I think that they are not too high, but I don't like dirty footwear, unwashed hands, unpunctuality, and untidiness, absent- mindedness. And when I see all these things in a man, even if he is very good, I wouldn't be able to live with him.

My English is not good enough because I studied it for four months/I did not even learn it at school/ so, now I use services of the interpreter and, you know, I pay money for this service /it is not agency, it is a private interpreter/, and it s pretty expensive for me plus I haven t got my own computer and as you understand I go to the internet-cafe. I want to learn English but I need to hire a private teacher because it s hard to learn grammar without nobody s help for this moment I try to do it myself and I really have some progress in it because first of all I'm philologist and there are a lot of things which are very similar with Russian language, but,anyway, I really feel that lack of teacher s explanations and oral practice and things like that.

As for my present job. As soon as I left school in

2002 I work as a sales person in a perfume shop. And I should confess that I like my job very much, I really like to communicate with people and be surrounded with them.

And one thing I wanted to ask you, what are you looking for? Are you looking for virtual friend with an endless pen palling or real partner, I do not want thousand letters without happy end and I do not want to waste your and my time and money for simply chatting...hope you understand me...

Well, I hope to hear from you soon.

Take care, Diva (my close friends call me this way).

P.S. I'm looking forward to your call, I hope we'll understand each other well if you don't speak too fast.

, Dear Ben!

Thank you for your wonderful photos! The only thing is that it takes too much time to open them and I have to spend a lot of time in the internet-cafe. But I'm glad about it, as it is always such a pleasure to see you, unfortunately I can't touch you... I would like to send you as many of my photos as possible. That's why I need your help, as the money for our correspondance is melting too fast. :-( What are you doing at the moment? Don't tell that you look at my photo!!!

A H-U-U-U-U-GGGGGGG-E kiss,

You�re Diva.

, Ben

Darling, thank you for the money you want to send me.

But could you send it to Chernigov city, the Ukrain on my name (as you've done it before), I'll explain you why. You know that I should pay 15% taxes when I receive money through Western Union. But if I receive money in the Ukrain I won't have to pay any taxes. I would like to spend the money on our correspondance only. Chernigov city is only 90 km far from Gomel. I could go there by train or by bus.

Let me know, please.

I send you some more photos, I hope you'll like them as well.

My sweet kisses,

Ludmila.

, Dear Ben,

Thank you so much for the Money.

Yesterday I went to see my mum, as you know, she urgently needed my help. She was very glad to see me.

I told her about you, that you have serious intentions towards me and she hopes that you will really take good care of me. She thinks it is the main quality in a man.

My boss told me that I will have to be in Moscow on the 17th already. I don't know how I will be there all this time because Moscow is a very expensive city. But I think I will try to find an Internet cafe to write to you from there. So, dear, I count on you very much now as the rest of the money that you sent me is not enough, and I have no one to rely on except you.

Well my dear, I have to fly to work now.






Letter


, Ben, dear,
Now, listen to me attentively and count.
1). 160.00 you will spend when I come to the airport and take you to Gomel. It will be on September, 17.
2). 120.00 you will spend when I will go to the airport with you and come back on September, 21.
3). If you want to travel in the city with the car, it will cost 20.00 per day with the driver, no more. And you don't need any incurance. Plus, I want to drink with you not only one glass of wine with you for our meeting. Or you want to drink just mineral water??? I want to talk to Ben - man, not to Ben-driver. So, you will spend 60.00-70.00 on this city transportation.
Now count. Your expenses on the transport will make 340.00-360.00. So, in which case will you save more money?
Hope to hear you very soon and hope you'll get through tonight.
My tender kisses,
Your Diva.

, Hello dear Ben.

I was happy to hear your voice on the phone yesterday. I had a lot of work yesterday, and I was very tired. As you know, I came back home very late, I even had to take a taxi.. I would like everything to be already working before I will leave. I have to know that everything is moving forwards before I can leave. I understand that you promise to take care of me when I come, but no one can garantie that it will really be like that. And if something goes wrong with us in the USA, I will not even have a place to come back, I won't have a place to live, I won't have a job, I won't have anything. That is why I have to be sure that I have my own money, And I also think that if now I am your fiancee, I guess you have to take care of me properly. I think I have to leave my job, and to find a private teacher to study English, and to take care of myself more. A beautiful flower needs a lot of care and attention. Thanks a lot for the money, it helps me a lot. Now I don't have to stand in line in the Inet cafe to get to a free computer.

Have a good day, my dear, I kiss you, yours Ludmila

,Hello, my dear Ben,

I'm very happy to hear your voice over the phone and to learn that fact that you're safe and secure.



Few times I postponed my operation and the day before yesterday I visited doctor. I have an operation on November 17. So, I have to be in Minsk at 8 am, so I guess, I'll go by the night train. I'll have to stay in Minsk at the hospital for 4-5 days for the rehabilitation period. The doctor said that with the time I would have to go through that operation any way, because that thing would give me a lot of problems. So, he said that it was very good that I visited him before I got those problems, as it's better to prevent then to cure. As he said the operation including staying at the hospital for 4 days costs $400.What kind of operation will I have? It will be an operation of delivering of hernia under my eyes.



I think, dear, that this is that situation when you can show me your care, your real care, because I cannot pay for all this myself. I want you to be proud of me. I would prefer to do it now in Belarus, because in your country it will be way more expensive, and I will need that operation any way, I really count on your support, dear.

Plus,two weeks I have to wear black spectacles because I will have huge shadows under my eyes.And till I be absolutely sure about my health I won't send any documents.

Well, I hope you are doing ok now and you are having a nice day.

My tender kisses, I really miss you.

Your Diva.

, Dear Ben!

I was glad to hear you by phone but how you understood the line was too bad. It was hard to hear you properly.

As I have told you earlier I planed to go to Chernigov this week(Wednesday). You told me to warn you so that you could send me more money. Please darling I need your help.

I think that on Friday I will develop some photos and there is one funny thing I want to tell you. During the operation they cut all my eye lashes! That is why when you see my photos please don't be frightened.

Can you imagine how much I am upset? I am sorry that you had a bad virus in your com. I hope everything will be ok.

Have a good day.

Kisses from your Diva.

0, Hello,dear Ben!

As you know today I joined my work again and now it's my lunch-time.Unfortunatly, I'm in a cyber-cafe because the interpreter has told me that he can't visit me in my place, so then I went to cyber-cafe with her.

You know, dear, I'm thinking about your relationships in these recent days.I re-read all your last letters and in your first letter you wrote mer that you stubborn and egoistic person.You know, right now I got certain of that.In all your letters you always write me about your feelings and care and you mentioned that you will treat me as a princess but,forgive me, but I do not feel it. You call me your bride, and tell me that you support our meaning of care is absolutely different from yours. You know,that I'm beautiful,witty and proud woman.And I will never ask for money from anybody, and I thinkl that it should me man who takes care about everything.

It's not my habit to complain about everything but I cannot afford to go to shop and buy lipstick that I really like because it costs 20 $.Do not you know the reason why? Thanks for your help with my opearation.And thanks for your gift, I mean PC. But I thought that this computer will be for our future work together.And this PC doesn't bring me any happiness.

You know Ben, I'm sitting and thinking whether I want to go to USA and get married. I'm very sad.And please, I need some time to think over,please do not call me for a while.

Ludmila
