Hello I need some help I have meet a girl from Russia.and she wants to come and visit I have already helped her pay for some of her travel. i paid $550 to her to help pay for the plane ticket, but now she has said she needs to have $3000 to show somebody at the airport because they will not let her leave without some money. Is this true or am I being scammed. Please write back in english. thanks Joe

Well I hate to slap you in the face with a big dose of reality...but you are being SCAMMED!!!!

Do not send any more money. Honestly what are you guys thinking? Come on be men. If you want to meet a Russian women then go to Russia and meet one. If you want to bring her to where ever you are then purchase tickets and send those. But never send money! Not when you never have even met her. And the odds are probably it is going to some dude.


If a women is really into you then she will pay her way or definitely do her part.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune

Lesson Learned!

Could you please send all the money you intended to send to that girl to me? I promise I will spend your money better.

You you are willing to believe that they check money before people leave the country, you head must be empty... A very simple research on Google can tell you what the requirements are for people willing to leave Russia. Just like anywhere else in the world - it's a passport with appropriate visas and tickets. I don't know of a country that requires people to present money before they leave....

America checks money before people enter. You are not allowed to bring more than 10 grand into America, at least from Canada, anyway. The rest of this post sounds accurate, including the empty head part.

French ambassies ask to present money in many African countries.
And it is often not enough to get a visa.

As for Joky the fool, let him being scammed, it will be a profitable lesson from life.

Sometimes you are as a child! I think it is joke! Mostly a mans do it, send you girl foto, learning your habits - I see it so easy to cheat - it is uncredible! You have to apply to policy!
