bruinbob writes "Hello, I noticed through a google search that others had been scammed by Andrey, who says he lives in Kineshma Russia, and works as a mechanic.
I had no idea he was a scammer, but got nervous when he proceeded so fast after finding me on Silverdaddies. Within a week, he had told me he had discussed me with his family, then he wanted to come and live with me.
I kept trying to tell him to slow down as we barely knew each other. Then I gave up and asked him not to write to me again. After a few days I felt bad about my actions and wrote him at the same address, but my emails bounced back.
Then I wrote a very brief postal letter to the address he gave me in Kenishma, Russia. But after maybe 3 weeks, I got the letter back as "undeliverable." |

which can affect everyone who visits these compromised large
websites.
Whaling: After phishing comes "whaling," a sneaky attempt by
scammers to hijack the personal computers of top-ranking
business execs. We explore this latest form of Internet crime

fooled.
We also discover that hackers are attacking corporate websites
and embedding them with invisible program code that takes

Stan writes "I was contacted by 'Vladimir Smirnof' (if that's what his name is) on www.meetic.co.uk. His emails came every day and initially he was very friendly, then he started saying he was falling in love (which is very flattering).
After 2 weeks of emails he said he would like to visit, which I was agreeable to, so he then said he would be going to the travel agency to book flights and get his visa. The next day I received an email in which he informed me he did not realise it was so expensive.
I did not realise that this was a scam at first. He said that the total cost of his visa and tickets was going to cost the equivalent of £850, which I thought was somewhat expensive. I did some research and found that the cost should be nearer to £650.
