Im a 38 year old single male in the midwest. I was sent a letter via Yahoo personals from a woman posing as a single Russian woman in search as always for love and respect. I was scammed out of 300.00 dollars a few months ago by a woman who is already posted on your site as Olga Smirnova, since then I have checked with your site anytime I recieve a letter from a Russian woman, well low and behold Yana is also posted on your site under a couple different names including Volzhanina, from Cheboksary Russia. Now I would like anyone who is recieving mail from Olga Smirnova or Volzhanina to look at the exactness in the letters of both. They either use a form letter or they are the same person operating under different names. When I sent Olga Smirnova money via Western Union it was recieved in Nizhni Novogorod Russia, and she claimed she was from Chernokolovo-there is at least a thousand miles between these two towns/cities which leads me to believe this is a ring of scammers who are somewhat connected in or near Nizhni Novogorod. I wanted to thank you for this site and the job you are doing. I like many others have fallen prey to scammers and this site has allowed me to "check up" on any new ones sent my way. Im fluent in Russian and am able to read into alot of the english mistakes in the letters. One I found intersting with "Yana" is that she referred to herself getting into a bath tub by lifting "him" referring to her leg which is a feminine nown in Russian if you are a woman...hmmmm...maybe the guys are just as big a part of this as the gals. Thanks again.
