I have been through a romance scam. Have been sending money, not much but enough. Had my contact with her through Skype, we met up at the site UkrainianDate. I sent her money through Western Union so her ID says Marguerite Despres. She was using fake pictures of herself, actually stolen from Facebook. The owner is a Slovak politician named Monika Benova. I sent money by Western Union to Ivory Coast so she was located there. Her bank account is based in Vilnius Lithuania. I got her mobile phone number but can't locate her. She showed me a list of flights she was support to go through from Ivory Coast. But that can be fake as well. Her telephone number is: <removed phone number>
I really would like to know where she can be found, probably in Lithuania but can also be in France. I have made an police report and my bank is trying to get some of my money back.

Scammers are rarely found and prosecuted.
In the future, do not communicate with someone who is in a different country. The purpose of a dating site is to meet people in person. You can’t do that if the other person is in another country.
Never. I repeat NEVER EVER send money to someone you don’t know. It’s always a scam.
Scammers are emotional manipulators and only want your money.

Interesting! - I have been baiting a "Ukrainian Orphan" who wanted to be rescued from a refugee camp, and for the privilage would donate me her $5m USD inheritance from her parents (This was being held by Capital One bank in the US, aho had given me a couple of accounts to pay to initially). This was part classic 419 advanced fee scam and part romance. We have had all sorts of fun with this as I have been kidnapped, her Polish camp guard has been communicating directly with my lawyer (me) to transfer $30,000 from my Laundry account to pay my ransom. I then "had to drive" across Ukraine to the camp but she had been rescued by another person to a military camp in Ivory Coast but the so called rescuer stole $2m and ran away. She wanted me to send funds by WU or MG to Ivory coast to the actual name she was using "Anna" being her 1st name. Her surname is actually a male name from the region. I also have her phone number and skype details - they are different to yours. But similarly she has provided me with flight screen shots so I can send her the money for her tickets. We have sort of fallen out at the moment - as I have sent the money I had promised Anna to "her grandmother" - (Another scammer pretending to be from Ukraine who is asking me to rescue her grandaughter). Well I told Anna I had. Anna has explained to me very forcably that she does not have a grandmother, and that I am an idiot. Her "Grandmother", also isn't happy with me, as every transaction I make to her accounts in both the US and UK fail, and oddly several of them no longer work (I wonder why?). However - Anna has tried to call me on Skype this week - perhaps she wants a christmas present? This whole scenario has been going on since June and is quite long. I have also sort of run out of weird pet names for Anna. I will post the whole thing when I eventually unwravel it.
