The (almost) victim met the scammer on Tinder. The conversation moved on emails. The victim was communicating with the scammer on the phone and the scammer was even using skype. When he arrived in our live help area trying to figure it out if he is dealing with a scammer or not, the victim was more than willing to believe "she" is real, despite the fact "she" asked him to send money for solving some visa problems before they can met. The email address "she" was using is not reported online, neither the pictures used. The text of the messages was also not reported online. Shortly after the victim learned how to check the headers for the emails he received, he realized that the Russian "lady" he is talking with is using a French proxy. After that he remembered "she" was asking for money to be sent by Western Union to Moscow, despite the fact "she" claimed to be from Orenburg...

Hey I'm glad to see you here!
Do you mind if I call you xxx or is it a nickname for the Internet?
Frankly, I doubted that you will answer me. But I'm glad
to see your answer.
My name is Lena.
I'm glad if you can share with me your photos too?
I know how to keep personal, don't like gossip.
A long time live alone. You know, it's hard to meet honest man. I feel
powerless if the daily lies destroys relationships.
The place where I live is called Orenburg. There is no ocean, but the
sea is a few hours away. You were in Russia?
We can chat on the phone. If you like the idea, please give me Your
cell phone number.
Best!Lena
Help yourself by helping others - report your scammer here.Google can be your best friend;use it if you have doubts about someone met online. If someone met online only asks for money, no matter what reason, it´s 100% scam.
