Had a near miss from an Uzbekistan woman called Tomaris Khodjaeva. Met her on the website Elena’s Models. After corresponding for a while, she hid her profile (Elena’s have since confirmed that after hiding she then removed her profile) claiming that I was her one and only. A bit later I get emails in Russian, supposedly from her mother, stating that if I wish to marry her charming daughter it is going to cost. I did not send money. then I get emails from the charming daughter asking for travel money to go to Moscow to get her visitors visa processed. When I informed her that such an application, if complete, could be posted (and sent confirmation of this from the embassy) all correspondance ceased.

Now when she was telling me I was the only one, and hiding her details on one site, she was maintaining active profiles on at least 4 other sites, namely Absolute Agency (still listed), Topbelladonna (site closed down), Hearty Date (still listed) and Cloud Number 9 (closed down). I lodged complaints with Elena’s and Hearty. Elena’s replied with 12 hours. Hearty have not replied, and you can not complain on Absolutes site.

What showed her to be particularly cunning is that she cultivated a friendship with my 6 year old daughter, even referring to her in emails as “her” daughter. Suffice to say that my daughter is taking it harder than me, but it shows the quality of these people, does it not?
