Russian girl needs money to go customs what should I do?
Looks like I'm not the only one who is getting e-mails from Russian girls, but anyway I met this girl named Yuliya Sannikova on rudester.com which is from Novosibirsk (city), Novosibirskaya oblast (state), Russia she is 28 years old, 5.4(166cm) ft tall and weighs110 Ib (51kg). We have been e-mail each other for a month and each time she e-mail me back she send me pictures of herself to make a long story short she has her passport and student visa, she even scan both of them to me to prove to me that she is real which I will put on this question I told me parents about her and they think it a scam which prompted me to track and trace one of the emails that I have saved but some sites that could track and trace seem pointed me to Yahoo in sunnyvale, CA. She sent not one but two emails one of them says that she need 200-250 USD because "they will check her any way at the US customs". I read another question on this site from a difference person that has the same problem but that was almost two yrs ago. So should I believe her or not?
As I said in the question I will put the pictures of her here

Complete scam. Russia is not as popular for this, as it used to be, and this may be a real person, but most likely just someone that has their photos. Why not ask for a photo a specific way, holding today's paper, or doing some move, At least then you know that the photo is the person ( or at least a friend or worker) for the person that is message you.
They will check her at customs, that is what customs does, but it is to be sure she does not bring anything incorrect into the country

Your in luck because I do have a picture of her with her friend Vika. The same thing I was think I know that US customs only check for contraband not to see how much money they have, I don't who told her that anyway I'm typeing up a e-mail say that she don't need to do that.

Check your visa type, F but it is a F1 visa which is for study in the US ( not tourist) and a F1 is for someone in grades under 12, this would make this person still in high school.
Appears to be a faked Visa
And even if it was real she can not travel on this with out the required I-20 form.
Also it expires in less than 60 days so it will need to have a new visa anyway

And next the date is wrong on the passport, the Russians do not use names like NOV, it would be all numbers. Her has one date with numbers, the other date has NOV spelled.

Sounds odd to me. How about a picture of her with her real name?

Ok, we've told you what we think. This is a common scam. The passport and visa looks bogus. The name doesn't match on the pic of her with the sign. If you want to continue believing, there is nothing else we can do.
Be careful with your money, that's all I have left to say.

What do you think the second set of pictures prove? As noted, as for a picture in front of a landmarke you recognize or with a current newspaper.
But just because her name isn't listed doesn't mean this isn't a scam.

Hand over what cell number? Their "personal" number? It's all part of the scam. Talking on the phone sucks you in.
But like I said, you're going to believe what you want to believe and you're going to try to reason things out just like you did here.
