DATING SCAMMER Ekaterina Shokhina

Last year I was on a few websites when this person named Alfiya sent me a message. We sent emails back and forth for months and she eventually told me she would like to come to the US. She would send me a picture with almost every letter that she wrote. After a while she reported that she needed more money up front as the cost was greater than she could afford herself. I was concerned it was a scam but my friend told me it didn't seem like one as she had written so long and never asked for money up till now. I eventually gave in and sent her $1500 which had to be by Western Union. She kept writing and did not pick up the money for a few days. Once picking up the money she continued to write and eventually informed me that there were issues with the embassy not letting her come over without more money.
