I first had contact with this lady under the name of **** in mid Sept of 06 and at the time i thought nothing about scammers so we both started of slow and just idle chit chat and the odd picture exchange but as time went by i did start to think this lady was real as she sent me pictures of her having fun on statues and such and even sent me pictures of what I took to be her friend and then ones I thought were her mom and dad and an uncle well things progressed and we both I thought wanted to meet and see if we really did have a possible relationship it was about that time I discovered all the sites about scammers so i looked into it and not one of then had a picture or name like hers so I thought "kool I found a real one" and I wanted to help with the visa and travel Documents for her to come to Canada so i started to send her money throught WU to the toon of 450 USD then one day just after Christmas I got a call and on the phone I have call display and # display and when the number came up saying it was from Alberta Canada I thought nothing of it so I ansewered it and low and behold it was the lady I was wanting to come see me. Well that got me thinking so i decided to do one last search on her and this time I googled her and low and behold there she was at the top of the page under a site called " The Russian Tea Room " and thats when i dicovered she had 4 different names and a half a dozen email addresses I wrote to the Moderator asking if what I had read was true about Miss Irina Siveava and he wrote back within one day saying yes 100 % scammer and he turned me onto a few other names she went byneedless to say I was ****** not so much about the Money but the fact this lady played me for a fool so when i confronted her she tried to blame it all on 1 American who she turned down but that still didn't explain the different names and all so I started to play with her too and told her I could understand and that I still wanted her to come to Canada so I asked her to send me the infor from the Travel agency that helped her get her Visa and I got a return letter from a company called Karasagency along with all the info for me to transfer the Money to a bank in the states I then got even madder at all this **** so i wrote to the Canadain Embassy in Russia and asked them if a Miss Irina Siveava had applied for a Visa or even if I was a sponser for her they returned a letter to me a couple days later saying just what i thought they would say that in fact this lady has never made an applacation and they had no information about me being a sponser to anyone. I then got on the phone and called WU and told them what happened and after that they transfered me to the fraud dept. for the IRS so am waiting to hear back from WU with proof of were when and by who the money was picked up.
