I wrote 60 pay to write and recieved a similar number of pay to read letters to someone purporting to be Juliya Igorevna Nastych, total cost $1,000. Also chatted about one hour per day for one month, cost $1,800. The person I was talking to seemed warm and affectionate, honest and kind. Nothing could be further from the truth as it turned out. She invited me to spend two weeks in Odessa Ukraine, so I traveled there in January cost of airfare and hotel $5,000. I also lost two weeks wages because I took unpaid vacation leave.
On my arrival there she refused to meet me, to answer the phone, or explain why she suddenly changed her mind. It was -20 degrees C which made it quite an unpleasant experience apart from being ripped off.
There were many red flags which suggested a scam was in operation but I didn't put it all together till the end.
Warning signs were:
1) She refused to give me her private email saying she did not have access to email.
