I'd posted a request to Borrow some money to help pay for a plane Ticket to fly this "girl" here... We'd been communicating for over two months and everything *SEEMED* copacetic to me, However Phil alerted me as to this being a scam... I've Created a website where you can check out the "gory" details and see if maybe you would have been "hooked".... It is: http://cain.zexxo.net/Scam.html


12/15 UPDATE - I wascontacted by Bob who said he recieved the EXACT same letters as me... and "she" was promising to fly to Pheonix on the 20th to meet him... he's  postedabout it here: http://www.rwguide.com/forums/topic.cfm?topic=4024&msg=64598#64598

The Main site alerting people about this is:

Hi Cain

Don't send money, THIS IS A SCAM!  Western Union tipped me off (I was scammed in an eBay deal using Western Union) and I did a quick search on Google with “russia visa scam” and came up with this site.  These examples sound the same.

Pretty shitty, I know.

Damn Cain! Good thing Phil read your post. I hear about these scams a lot. Luckily, you got the heads up before it went too far.
