I live in Barcelona, Spain. I have been exchanging mails with a Russian girl for a couple of months. That girl lives in Siberia, city of Megion. We've exchanged pictures, talked on the phone, we feel both attracted.. It seems all right for me. And we decided we could see for real. She has only a month for holidays, and is in the month of April. I only can take a week for holidays, but I said she could come here to see me, and be welcome to my house all the month. She agreed, and told she would go to a trusting agency to arrange things. She says she must have a visa, and that the easiest and safest way is to acquire a tourist visa, she says the travel company will present her as a solvent person at the Embassy in Moscow and will arrange things. The problem is that she says the total cost of the trip is 2200 euros, including everything, the flights, the visa fee, passport and insurances, and she has only 400 Euros. I don't want to think bad of that girl. but she says litterally: "I will keep on asking some of my friends to borrow me some money, but honey, I don't know if I am succeeded in this, but I will try. I was dreaming about this meeting for so long and I just don't want to waste the time, I want to be with you the sooner the better, cause you are very special in my life, I don't want to lose you, I really hope we will join our efforts and we will be together very very soon. Please reply me the sooner the better, I cannot wait to know your thoughts. Nadezhda" I don't know for real if these are normal prices in Russia, so, before taking any decision, I would like to know if this is possible and if I should trust this girl. I really like her, but we don't know the one to the other, She gave me her address, and I gave her mine, and she inspired trust to me until now. But what if she asks me for the money for coming to see me and I don't know more of her afterwards? I am confused and don't know what to do, please, give me your advice !!!!
