Valeria is what I call a "professional dater" and has upped her skills by using dubious tactics to "help friends" find a flat in Kharkov. I met Valeria through a CB friend on my visit to Ukraine last May. Valeria showed some inclination towards being greedy by overinflating taxi fares and ordering the highest priced items on the menus in restaurants. Valeria opened her CherryBlossoms account this Summer. She revealed her true inclinations when I asked her to assist in my locating an apartment in Kharkov. Note she has never indicated any sincere romantic interest. I reported her to CherryBlossoms but they did not reply and she is still on the site.

Mind you, I have spent several months in Ukraine, and was not expecting much in the way of quality. But the flat had none of the services I was sold on, the facilities did not work, and was far from the promised location.

About a week before I was scheduled to leave from my month's stay in the flat, she attempted to extort more money from me. This is after the price went from $120-$200 to $500 three days before my arrival. The
