• A Russian woman will claim that she has been robbed and beaten, she claims that she needs money for an operation as she is broke or she says a family member has been in a serious car accident and that you are the only person she may rely on for financial help.


• A Russian woman may also make a claim that she is stranded abroad and doesn't have the money to pay for her flight costs to return home.
