Dear Irina,
Can you please tell me of your opinion of what I should do.
I registered with a Dating Agency (Asastasia International.com), There I started to communicate with a lady who told me that in her first letter to me that she wanted to be with me and that she had no one special in her life other than me. Anyway by a strange coincidence, I found out later that a friend of mine who was registered at another Dating Agency (Amazing Women.com) had been contacted by her (she must of been registered with both), and had for several month`s been 'going out' steady with her. He was shocked when he recognized the pictures and correspondence, especially has he had been giving her money so that she could get a Passport, English and Driving lessons so that she could live with him in his Country (which I do not think that she had even started, because she has not given him any proof). He was going to finish with her, but he thought he was still in love with her and she told him that she now had a very high blood pressure problem and any upset or stress could give her a heart attack. So he has continued to give her money (because she can not work due to her illness). Can you please tell me of how I can find out if her illness is genuine, or a scam. But if it is a scam I need a way to convince my friend that it is a scam and that he should leave her (and report her behaviour as a scammer).
Regards Charles.

Dear Charles,
It is usual scam run by translation agencies at Anastisia's sites.
They take money for driving lessons, for English lessons. for letters, for gifts and continue with other men (and if possible take money from them also). IT can continue for years. Has your friend told to that girl about you? Can you play your game with her further? If she is a young girl, I do not believe in any heart attack and high blood pressure. (and in fact that she is real). But we need ot prove it to your friend. Do you have her email address? Can you play with her further?
Best regards,
Irina

Dear Irina,
Thank you for replying very quickly.
Unfortunately, my friend has told her about me - so there is nothing that I can think of that I can do, especially as I have reported this situation to the Agency - and they have said that she has do nothing wrong!. I suppose that I could get a another friend of mine to register and correspond with her - but would that help?, would she suspect?, if you thought it might work - what should he do/say to her?.
Her age is 21, she is real, because he has been to see her a few weeks ago in the Ukraine.
But there is some really strange things that she is now saying to him, like;-
(1) That she does not want him to send her anymore money for the moment?.
(2) That she is still too ill for her to visit him, and that she is too ill for him to visit her?, but she tells him that she loves him very much?.
(3) He has asked her to get the advice of a Doctor that specializes in very high blood pressure problems, but that she say`s that she will get this done, but does not?.
(4) As well as using the Agency, she texts him and Emails from her friends Email account.
I myself agree with you in regards to her not having a serious illness, and maybe might of had/having the flu. If it was serious high blood pressure problem - surely she would try the best she could to get it treated than let the condition continue?. Maybe she will use this has a excuse for her not being able to visit him, as I presume that people with very high blood pressure are not recommended to fly. She might also be using this as a excuse for him not to finish with her because it could upset and worsen her condition?. I am having difficulty in convincing him, because he feels sorry for her and does not want to leave her if she is genuinely ill - so do I suggest that he visits her soon against her wishes and takes her to a private clinic, or get`s a private investigator on the case?.
Regards Charles.

Hello Charles,
Of course they see nothing wrong. It is they who are scamming you and your friends. They often share their profit with the girl, but she often even does not know with whom they communicate from her name. When a man comes to meet her, there she is, she meets men she is told, but she is not serious and does not want to marry or anything. It is just a way to get money.
You can create another account and regsiter there yourself and write to her from a false name. These girls are often caught in the follwoing manner:
sometimes she says to your friend that she can't communicate as she feels ill, but ... another person receives email from her all right.
She tells her friend that because of her condition she can't visit him, but ... when another person suggests to come to meet her everything seems ok.
It would be a good idea to take a personal investigator. He will certainly find many interesting things, but I doubt your friends will do it, and I do not know where to search for them.
Best regards,
Irina
