Good morning my lovely Henry!!!One swift response should be all that was needed to get to the heart of the scammer scam; a real identity and address for the scammer or accomplice. I play the following very straight, to ensure I don't scare anyone off at this crucial phase:
I hope, that you O'k!!! It's so???
I have good news and bad. I get my visa today, but it had some difficulties.
When I have come in embassy to me have told, that it will be really difficult. They made check my visa and my travel in your country. It is very difficult however. When I have come to embassy the ambassador asked the many questions. He has asked a question on that who will bear the responsibility about me when I shall be in the your country.
I informed to him that I can take care of myself itself. He has told that knowledge of English language it insufficiently to be in safety.
The ambassador informed me that I should have relatives or the guarantor to fly in the your country. I informed the ambassador that I have no relatives living on territory the your country. I have told to the ambassador about our correspondence with you, but he has told to me, that we
should be familiar long time that you could take the responsibility for me and informed that it will not work. It has very difficult system however.
But they offer to me an exit from this situation. They have told, that I can buy the insurance document. It will have the responsibility for my life in your country. They have told, that if I want to receive visa I should buy this document. If I shall not make this document I never can receive the visa.
I never faced with such problems. I have decided to take consultation from the lawyer all over again. I took consultation from him. I have told to it, that after William has deceived me, I began to search, that person who wants to have and develop relations together with me. I have told him, that now I have very serious relations with you. The lawyer has told me, that it is good, but it will not work for embassy. It is connected by that we are familiar with you not a plenty of time.
The embassy will refuse in receptions of the visa. He has told, that I bought the insurance document. It is a unique correct and reliable choice.
After that I have gone in embassy and we made registration of the insurance document for me.
This document has cost 520 pounds. I had at myself 600 pounds. These are money for purchase of the ticket and residing in your country. Now I have 80 pounds. It will not be enough. I can not arrive to you. Now I need 450 pounds to arrive to you. I understand, that it is very difficult.
But I never collided with such problems. I did not know, that it is so difficult. But I know, that I made a correct choice. I have made everything that we had a meeting with you. I very much want it. If I have not paid this insurance document I never would receive the visa.
But now I have it. I have all documents to arrive to you and we shall have a happy pair
together. But I need 450 pounds. I very much sad!!!
My heart belongs to you. I know, that it is destiny. I am filled with emotions now. I think, that it will work. I do not know, that you think about it. Probably you will not help me and we shall never have a meeting. I do not want it. I want to be only with you. If you can make help for us I shall be very happy. I hope for it very much. It's only your choice.
I send this letter to you with hope, that you will not push away me.
I hope, that all our letters were not an empty phrase.
I am valid need in you.
Yours Tatyana.
P.S I am online now, please to write to me as soon as possible.
I do not want it. I want to be only with you. If you can make help for us I shall be very
happy.
That's horrible! How could they charge you so much for insurance? Are you sure you weren't overcharged? I suppose it doesn't matter now though; the money's been spent and at least you've got the visa.I send this letter to you with hope, that you will not push away me.
How could I push you away after all your lovely letters and pictures and kisses? I'm just not sure how I can help you. What can I do to help? If I write to the embassy, and confirm that I can guarantee accommodation for you over here, maybe they'll let you get a refund on the insurance so you can get a ticket. Or, if you're not to proud to borrow money, I could buy you a ticket and you could pay me back when you get some work? I don't know what you'd prefer, but please let me know how I can help - I'd hate for all your planning to go to waste.
Whoops! There it is:
Since I had the opportunity, I thought I'd push my luck a bit:
I have very little doubt that it's a bogus ID, though, but I can only hope, right? On the principle that time wasted by the scammer on this scam is time taken from another, I decided to send Olga on a fool's errand:
So, Miss Olga Ivanova, I have you now! I immediately notified both Moneygram and Western Union that I have reason to suspect that fraud is being perpetrated on those details. I also raised the matter with the Ic3, on the chance that it might help some other poor soul.
My love Henry!!!
I am very happy to receive your letter and to know that you very much to want our meeting. I as very much loved your beautiful letters, and now for me is very important to have our meeting. I as want to tell, that in embassy to not give the letter to us the big help because I already spent money for insurance, and now I to have my visa and the insurance document. All that I to require now, it only money for my ticket.
The matter is that I should buy the ticket independently. Also should do it already today or tomorrow. Lovely, to me have told, that the best way to send money is Western Union or Money Gram.
That you might transfer this help to me you should know:
1) My full name - IVANOVA OLGA
2) My full address - Russia, Yoshkar-Ola, Vashskay 19.
That I might receive money I should know:
1) Your full name
2) Your full address
3) MTCN is a confidential code which to you will give after transfer of money.
I very much hope, that you can send 450 pounds and when I to arrive, I was necessary to find work and to give this money to you.
I kiss you, and I wait for your letter.
Yours Tatyana
Since I had the opportunity, I thought I'd push my luck a bit:
To my great delight, it worked:The best way to send money through the WESTERN UNION.
Ok, I'm making progress on that. I've given them your details, and the amount that I want transferred. If it's okay with you, I'd like to send a little more than you're asking for, just so you've got funds to show immigration when you arrive here. It just stops them asking awkward questions. So, I'd like to send you £1000, is that ok? You wouldn't have to pay it all back - think of the extra as a welcome gift to the UK.
Because it's not a transfer for business purposes - there's no invoice or any other written request for money - they're asking me to provide photo identification of the recipient, i.e. you. Apparently it's a security measure they've got to prevent the wrong people from collecting money transfers.
Would it be possible to email me a scan of the front page of your passport, please? Actually, any photo id will be fine, as long as it shows your name and your picture. As soon as I can give them a copy, they can authorise the transfer, and I'll have a collection number for you!
Yours in delighted anticipation,
Henry
I have very little doubt that it's a bogus ID, though, but I can only hope, right? On the principle that time wasted by the scammer on this scam is time taken from another, I decided to send Olga on a fool's errand:
I wait your help.
All done. They say it'll take about 10-15 minutes to clear through, but then you should be able to pick it up at any Western Union branch.
