Hello everyone. The photos below came from a Russian woman I only knew as Marina. I felt something was not quite right here, so I "Googled" her email address and got a hit. She is listed on another site. The email address she uses is [email protected]. She contacted me on a free site: www.datemefree.org. Her user name there is mari04ka. Note: this user name contains a "zero", and not an "o", just in case anyone wants to go trolling.

Below are all the photos she sent to me. All this in just three emails. I've learned to "brand" the photos so no one else can claim them.

I've been down this road many times, and have learned what to look for and to follow my instincts. They've only failed me once, and this was very costly. One out of several hundred is not bad, but the one got hurt! So, now I am more careful to do my research.

Hi there, and welcome to the board.

I'm sorry you've been scammed. If you're feeling stupid, don't, please. These scammers have taken months, maybe years to perfect their craft of spinning lies. They've taken the trust that you put in them and abused it. I know it will be hard to trust people at first, but it takes time to heal.

Thanks for posting the email addy and pics...it will make it easier for others to figure out if they're being scammed.

No-no. She did not get me for a penny! As I said, I have a feel for what to look for, and for what looks too good. She never got to this point before I found her out. Based on what I found on other sites, it was only a matter of time...

Except content of posts in this forum doesn't show up on search engines........

Make sure you have reported the details of this scam at one of the romance scam sites in my signature, or SOMEWHERE else on the 'net.

Good! Your research paid off then. Yep, if you had continued talking to her, she eventually would have asked for money for one reason or another. Nice to have you here.

oops, didn't know that this forum was behind a login. My bad. Embarassed

I found her on another site by doing a Google search on her email address.

http://www.datingnmore.com/fraud/scam_email4.htm

Is anyone here familiar with this site? They don't seem to have any photos, only a compilation of email addresses. I didn't let her get to the point of asking me for anything. To say she would is only speculation now. I cut her off once I found her address listed on the other site.

yeah, I am somewhat familiar with this site Wink

These pages with e-mails on datingnmore are just a compilation for Google. So they get into Google FAST, and people find them fast. Because it takes much longer until Google indexes forums and scamlists.

The main site, with pictures aand everything, is the one in my signature. If you find some e-mail listed on datingnmore, you should go to romancescam and lookup that e-mail over there. Your Marina is already listed, and with this e-mail addy, too Wink
