A man from the USA asked for advice regarding the following situation.

"The person is male his name and address is Makarov Andrei Yur'evich box 76 Ioshkar-Ola, Russia 424028. DOB March 28,1981. HE is a school teacher 5th thu 9th grades. said he finished Pedagogical Institute. Is an only child. says he works monday thu saturday. was born in Ioshkar Ola. That is about all i know of him. We meet online, he goes to a Internet Cafe to correspond with me. He wanted me to send $560.00 to him, he said that was the fee to get his visa and plane ticket to come to United States but i told him i didn't have the money right now".

The man paid for the consultation. We advised him not to send the money.:)

But this is not a happy end so far. Out of curiosity we visited the address. A young man opened the door.

'Can we talk to Andrei Makarov?' our agent said.

'It's me', the man said. 'What do you need?'

'Aren't you in hospital?' The agent was surprised.

'Why should I be in hospital? My health is excellent'. Andrei said.

'But your American friend worries about you very much. He thinks you are are dying in a hospital'.

'F.ck!', Andrei was confused and thought for a few moments. 'You know, please do me a favor! Tell him that you didn't find me and we'll share what he will send me'.

'I can't promise this', the agent said and left.
