Recently I was an idiot and over the course of several months I sent about 5000 dollars for a girl in Russia to come here. We had been speaking on messenger for over 6 months. I lost it all and she is no where to be found. I have the western union reciepts and I know her name. Can I do anything about this?

Accept it as a life lesson and move on. I know that sounds harsh but you'd spend more chasing the money than you have already blown. Seems like you know you messed up and just need to take that last step and move on.

Hey! I am really sorry to hear about this, because I am originally from Russia.. Yes, it happens all the time. When I lived in Russia I used to work as a translator for one of marriage agencies there. Most of the girls are looking for money rather than a husband... that's the truth. I guess, you can't do anything about it, as the amount is not big enough to report to Interpol. I guess there is no way to get the money back, if you contact police in Russia they would say that no one forced you to send the money. Once again, sorry it happened to you....

You have learned a very expensive lesson. The "girl" in most of these cases is neither a 'girl" nor russian. most often it is a business run by a nigerian male.
Your money is gone. reporting it can help law enforcement track down the scammer.

Yeah. Don't visit RussianBrides.com?
Learn your lesson?
Twenty for a lapdance is cheaper than trying to buy a wife?
ok...sorry.
There is absolutely nothing that can be done, except maybe convince GW to invade Russia.

What could you possibly do, as she is nowhere to be found? Maybe next time you want a Russian cutie, you'll go there and meet one to bring home with you.

i love to get plants. If someone sends you plants it really is means that they prefer you adequate to be questioning about you once you're literally not of their presence, they prefer you adequate to spend their time finding out on them out for you, and they prefer you adequate to spend their not basic earned funds on you. plants despatched to you're a very thoughtful present to receive.

interpol. google it and email them your story.
They have a new fraud unit for e crimes.
This sounds like an e-crime.

Contact the FBI and tell them what happened. What were you thinking?
