Galina
(Moscow, Russia)
I am a white male from the USA and would like to report to you about a scammer
named Galina from Moscow. Her e-mail address is galinchik@km.ru and she is
listed at match.com as "galinchik" and is 23 years old. She wrote to me only
three times and asked for money in her second letter. I did not hear back from
her and was unable to get anymore information on her but she is an obvious
scammer and should have her photos placed on the wall of shame ( Please see
her letters below ). Sincerely, S. H. (Scam Hunter)

sometimes poorly works also disappears (vanishes) and does not come. It is very
sad. I want to you at first to tell about me and my family, that you learned(found
out) better me and you had few questions. I the simple Russian girl, which wasborn in very beautiful and perfect city St.-Petersburg. I here studied at school,

I am a 56 year old widower who runs his own business with homes in London and
Barcelona Spain. I have been looking for someone to share my life with after the
loss of my wife. I originally asked for details of this lady from Anna Barmina
Agency, and received the contact details from blue@bluesapphires.net the
charges were charged by World Digital Network, Inc. I corresponded with this
lady for a period of six month sending all letters to Ekateringburg and then she
invited me to visit her in Russia. I thought she lived and worked in Ekaterinburg
and was in Moscow doing a course. On her details she says she will meet men
from 27- 55 years old, this alone should have rung alarm bells. As she does not
care whom it is as long as she gets visitors to scam. From the first night she
took me to a restaurant and run up a bill of over 200 USD, this went on every
night. I soon noticed that she would order the most expensive thing on the menu
irrespective of what it was. Some times two starter, two main courses and up to
three deserts, and the most expensive wine and cocktails. It soon became
obvious to me that she was on a commission from the owners of the restaurants.
All during the evening she would be receiving calls from internet contacts, whom
she openly called her next victims. She would receive local calls and although I
do not speak Russia I would understand the name of top hotel and bars within
them where she would make later appointment. She would then continuously
look at her watch, rush me through the meal, dump me at my hotel while she
went on the next appointment. Things eventually came to a head when I confronted her and she admitted that she was not interested in a relationship with
me or anyone. This is her way of surviving in Moscow and receiving nice present
and visiting all the nice places and getting paid for it. This girl is just a heartless
ringer. I am publishing this to protect other innocent client from falling prey to this
cold calculating bitter person. I discovered that she has already done this to at
least three other people. A Belgium an Italian and a Frenchman. I contacted
blue@bluesapphires.net and informed them that this girl is running a scam,
They immediately withdrew this lady from their server. I also contacted
Antonio@one truelove.net and they have also removed this ladies details.
But 'A pretty woman' did not respond so I can only assume they are not reputable.
All in all this has cost me a total of 2500 USD in Air fare, Hotel, and all her scams.
I hope someone puts a stop to this lady before she does anyone else.

I just met a Ukrainian woman who I believe is a con. I cooresponded with her from
July 17-July 23rd 2002. My name is James, a 26 year old man. I responded to a
woman whose profile was listed on Match.com as living in Los Angeles. I'm pretty
sure she's a con because in the 5th letter she asked for money and immediately
sent me information about sending it to her. These are her two addresses I know
of. I'm also sending her picture. Who knows, maybe she does have good
intentions, but she never really answered any of the questions I asked her.
Svetlana Chepiga" <svetcha2002@yahoo.com svetlanka"svetlanka@hotpop.com
Hello, dear James! Thank you for writing me. I read your profile and think that
you are very interesting person and I would like to get to know you closer. May
be we'll find out that we are meant to be with you? If you are interested write me
please svetlanka@hotpop.com Svetlana
Letter 2:
I am so happy to receive your letter. You know I have never had such
an experience to communicate with someone through the Internet. And it is so
exiting. I am interested in knowing more about you. You intrigued me with your
personality. I'd like to tell you more about me and my inner world.
I am 22 years old. I live in Ukraine. Svetlana is my first name. I live with my parents. I don't have
neither brother nor sister. I study at the Pedagogical University. My future
profession is teacher of mathematics. I love children and dream of becoming a
good teacher. I attend Orthodox Christian church. I like to communicate with
people and to have fun. I also like to travel. Though I have not been to many
places but every time I go to another city it is like holiday for me. You know it
seems sometimes that when you come to another city where nobody knows you
change and some new thoughts came to your mind. I like this feeling of somet
Letter 3:
Hello dear James! I am so happy to hear from you again. You sound like a nice
and intelligent person. I would like to know more about you. Unfortunately I don't
know English and I use the translation service. I study English on my own. It is
rather difficult to do without the help of professional teacher but I try my
best. I have some questions for you. What are your dreams? As for me I like to dream
very much and hope my dreams will come true some day. I am optimistic and
believe in good things. I believe that I'll find my soul mate that the God created for
me. I am sure that when you want something very much you'll certainly get it.
Sooner or later but you'll be success. I have been searching for the special man
for all my life. You know it is not easy to find your second half. You can do some
mistakes before you'll finally get you happiness. One should deserve his
happiness and you'll appreciate it more if it has been given to you after
you passed a long way of mistakes.You know love gives us sense to live and without
it we and our life is empty. Love makes us better and opens for us a new world of
wonders. Love can make miracles. There are no people who don't dream to find a
true love, love that you can sacrifice everything, love that lights a fire inside you
and gives you strength. I know that I will do everything for the sake of my
beloved. I'll be with him in happy and sad times. I can't love a little. If I am in love
my beloved will be the center of the Universe for me. I want to build the family
only with a such man that I can rely entirely and be sure that he'll never betray
me. I'll be happy to hear from you again. I hope that we are the part of the whole
and our relationship can grow into something special and serious. With love
Svetlana
Letter 4:
Hello, dear James!
I am so happy to hear from you. I really like you more and more after each your letter. You know I would be so happy if you find out I am
the woman you are searching for. I really like your letters and feel that you can make
the woman of your dreams happy. Thank you for your photos. I like them very
much. I live in Lugansk. This is not very big town. The population of it is
about 400 thousand people. It was built more then 200 years ago. It used to be an
industrial city but after all this changes in our economy when Ukraine become an
independent state practically all the factories were closed and now the majority of
people work at the market selling things. The life is really difficult here. There are
a lot of unemployed people and those who work don't get a salary or get
such a small payment is not enough to buy food sometimes. Excuse me that I tell you
such sad things but I can't lie. I don't like to complain and I like my country all the
same. I hope that soon the situation will change and we'll have a better life here.
I am disappointed with Russian men and that's why I am searching for Western
husband. I have some questions for you too. What things do you regret about
in your life? What would you like to change in yourself? What is happiness for you?
What is the weather like in your country? It was raining all the day yesterday and
today morning. I even didn't want to wake up and go to University. I just couldn't
concentrate. I felt relaxing and in my head there were no thoughts about studies
or things I should do. Do you know what I think about when it is raining?
I would like to spend such day near the fair place or near the window with a cap of coffee
or tea, reading some good book and waiting for the end of working day when my
beloved man come back from job. I would open the door and say: "Hi sweet, I
was missing you so much all the day" Then we would have nice and tasty dinner
I cooked. He would tell me about his day, about everything. I would listen to him
and maybe sometimes ( if he'd ask ) I would advice something. Then, after
washing the dish we would have a coffee and relax. Before to go sleep
I would help him to take a bath:) and then we would see the sweetest dreams all the
night. I don't know why do this thoughts visit my head now. Maybe it is
because of rain? Or maybe everybody in this life sometimes want to feel themselves
needed? It would be interesting for me to know what you think about it
and what you think when it is raining. What are you dream about? Maybe our dreams are
the same? My dear, I want to ask you about one thing. You know I use the
translation service and because of the financial difficulties it is difficult for me to
pay for it. Will you be able to help me with it? I would really appreciate it, my
dear. So, I close this letter with a kiss, Svetlana
Letter 5:
Hello dear James! I am so happy to hear from you. You are such a wonderful
person. I really enjoyed your letter and you answers to my questions. I would be
so happy to answer all your questions but I have been allowed to write you only a
short letter without payment today. I would be really grateful to you if you help
me with keeping our correspondence. I am so sorry that I have to ask you about
help. But I am not able to do it because of the difficult financial situation now. I
really don't know English at all and that's why I can't communicate with you
without the help of translator. I use the Internet service at the agency as well. But
I am not the part of the agency. I just use their service. I'll ask the
director of the agency to send you an information about their services and prises.
I want to tell you that you have become so important for me already and I really don't want to
lose contact with you. We could write letters to each other by mail but you know
that Internet is the fastest way of getting letters and more reliable because
letter can be lost. My dear, I'll be waiting for your letter impatiently.
With love Your Svetlana

Natalia Vedenko Koffman (Zhaporozhie, Ukraine)
I am a 36 year old male from the USA. I developed a 4 month relationship with
the lady in question. daily emails, phone calls,ect. I fell in love with her, and
planed a trip to her home town. We planed to meet in Odessa, Ukraine. I EVEN
TOOK MY MOTHER TO MEET HER. I was going to get a visa for her. Her scam
was not for much money. About 400.00 over the time of we corresponded. I sent
train fare for her, and when I arrived in Istanbul, Turkey. Natalia Koffmann informed
me that she had her purse stolen on a trolley bus, and the ticket was inside. she
asked for air fare this time. I sent it. Now, this evil person only took me for 100.00
more. But my trip overseas to meet her cost me well over 3,000.00. After I sent
the money Western Union, I never heard from her again. I arrived in Odessa, and
she was not there at are planed meeting local. I was crushed. I was hurt beyond
measure. This just happened August 1st, and I have been home for only two days
now. Heart broken, broke, and mad as hell at this person. I found her posting on
Absolute Agency, though it has now been removed. She even sent me her passport as you can see below. I am going to do all I can to see this person goes
to jail. Scamming is one thing, but to say you love them have them travel 1,0000
of miles and hit them for 100.00 more in just plain evil. I am going to use all my
power to see she is prosecuted. Todd
Some letters from her:
Hi again and again honey!!!!!!! I've received your money!!
Thank you very much. You wanted to know how i will spend it. First of all I will buy some sexy
underwear for you to like me when you come and some present for you, to meet
you with. I'm kissing you honey I love you Bye Till tomorrow
Hi again my love from the first sight!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm happy when I see so many letters from you. And I'm happy when you make so many plannings. Honey, I must say
that my town is not very civilized. I must say that we have no a good hotel here. I
will try to get more detailed information about this till tomorrow. Now I can say
that it would be much cheaper and easier for you to rent the appartment for
definite time. To live in a hotel will cost you about 100$ per night for one person.
To live in the appartment will cost you 400$ per MONTH, in condition that both
variants are with all the comforts. We could obtain even the document that you
will rent this appartment to show it in the Ambassy. But if you still need a hotel,
let me know and I will give you all the information I will obtain. As for the driver's
licence, I have one. I hope it will give me some advantages. But I have no
experience in driving since I have no car. I'm dreaming of our meeting and I
imagine the happiness we will feel when we see each other in real. It is like a
dream like a mystery. I also could not imagine that it would be possible for me to
love a man I have never seen befoer. But I see now that we really have found each
other, may be it is a destiny that brought us together???? I thionk that we diserve
each other, we will be the great couple. I'm kissing you very very hot!!!!!!!
I want you and love you very much!!!! Yours
Hi Todd! Thanks for your letter. It's very pleasant to receive it.
You know I don't wanna have a pen-pall, that's why I was so glad to see that your intentions
towards me are so serious. It is difficult to write about myself but I will try to.
I live in Ukraine. It's a low developed country, you probably know about it. But I like our
people. They are intelligent, clever, kind, not cruel and not arrogant. The place I
live is not that picturesque as it is situated in an industrial region. But my
childhood was happy here, I grew in a good,friendly family. I like: nature,especially sea, animals, children, reading books,English language,
cinemas, go shopping, cooking, making love, almost most of all, I like live.
I dislike: lie, unfaithfulness, unsincerity, playing games with feelings, quarrels,
cruelty. I don't wanna live in this country, we have no future here. The terrible
situation in the economy of our country makes our men cruel, inattentive to
their wives; they just think about how to earn money. They treat women
bad, they don't respect us, they think that women want only some advantage of them. But this is
not true. Any woman just wants to be happy, to have a beloved and loving
husband. And me too. I wanna have children and be sure in their future. Is it so
bad. I'm really interested in you and I wanna know you better. Ask me any
questions you want. Without questions it is difficult to choose what to write first.
One can't describe all the life in one letter. How do you like to spend your free
time? Do you meet your friends often? Did you have many girlfriends in your past?
These questions will be enough for today. Or my curiosity can frighten you.
I just wanna know more about you. I'm waiting for your answer. kisses.
Natalia

Hi Todd! Thanks for the letter and for your photo. You are a very handsome man.
I think we could establish good relations. I would like to know you better. I will be
always glad to hear from you. Kissing you Your Natalia
Letter 3
Hi dear Todd! Honey I was surprised with the great understanding and kindness
you talked about your intentions to make your woman happy. I really think
that you are the man who may make my dreams come true. I see that you will
understand my desires my problems. And in my turn I promise that I will not be
indifferent to yours. I hope to meet your friend's wife some day, Marina. She mustbe a good woman.
Dear I really want to see you and try to establish serious relations with you. I hope we will love each other. You know I'm sure we should
meet and feel if we have some true feeling to each other. How could we do this,
honey? I'm waiting your further mails I'm kissing you strongly Your Natalia
Letter 4
Hi Todd! You are something!!! I was shocked by your letter. You are reading my
thoughts. How could you guess my dreams about how I want to spend time?
With my beloved? You almost gave me the wings I will fly on. To you of course.
Now honey, I have never been to America, but it would be great. I always dreamt
to see this country. It must be something different and interesting. You are a
gentleman, I feel that. But I think that everything will not be accepted as
obligations. We would have great time together! I promise you will not regret about
it! Bye honey! I'm so disappointed that I will have no access to the computer till
Monday, because I already want to receive your exciting letter again! Do not
forget about me!!! I'll be back soon. Have a good weekend. Think of me!
I'm kissing you Bye!
Letter 5
Hi my dear! Todd I was so much disappointed! I didn't know that it is so difficult
for people who want to see each other to meet!!!!!!! It's not right and not fair! Honey,
you are my only hope and I hope you will find some way out of this situation and
we will be able to see each other. Please, if you know something, I beg you to
write me all the news, even bad. But I hope everything will be OK. The conditions
of the Fiancée visa are strange and not wise but you are right the love from the
first sight sounds very tempt ting and seducing. You know dear I'm optimistic and
I think we will find some way out and very very soon!!!!!! I have some colour
photos. I do not like them very much, they are not professional. But I will send
you two, one with my father and one with my friend and with my younger sister. I
hope you will like me looking as a simple girl, not a model. By the way on one of
the photos I have my hair cut But now it is long. Just some insignificant
information. Honey, I hope you are OK. Do you have any news? |I hope to hear
from you soon! What's going on in your life, I wonder?! I wish I were with you and
saw every day of your life. I hope this will be able some day. I'm saying you bye
for the moment but I hope to hear from you soon Kissing you many many times
Your Natalia
Letter 6
Hi Todd!!! Thanks for remembering about me and for finding time to write me. It's
pleasant for me to know that when I'm sleepinmg someone is thinking about me
and dreaming about our meeting. Honey, I'm so happy that I will be able to see
you so soon I really could not believe first that it is possible in real though I hoped
that would happen some day. Dear, I will be waiting for your messages and for
any news from your life. Bye, my honey I'm kissing you I miss you very much.

hI DEAR!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR LETTER ,YOUR SWEET
CARE. I WILL GO TO WESTERN UNION TOMORROW AND GET THE MONEY. I WILL INFORM YOU TOMORROW
ABOUT IT. HONEY, YOU KNOW I DIDN'T EXPECT IT. IT WAS SO PLEASANT. I HAVE NEVER
FELT SUCH CARE ABOUT ME FROM THE SIDE OF A MAN. YOU ARE VERY SWEET, THANKS.
I'VE GOT SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT. FOR THE INHABITANTS OF KIEV THE PRICE IS ONLY 100$ AND THE
PASSPORT WILL BE READY IN TWO WEEKS. FOR THE INHABITANTS OF OTHER CITIES AND
TOWNS THE PRICES ARE HIGHER THOUGH I DO NOT KNOW WHY. FOR ME IT WILL COST 230$ IF I WANT TO HAVE IT IN TWO
WEEKS AND 180$ IF I NEED IT BE READY IN A MONTH, AND 300$ IF i WANT IT IN A WEEK. THESE ARE THE
PRICES. HONEY, YOU KNOW I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL COME TO SEE ME SO
SOON. AND YOU RELLY WANT TO MEET MY PARENTS, IT IS SO TOUCHING,. IT MEANS THAT YOU
ARE NOT INDIFFERENT TO ME. I HOPE YOU WILL LIKE MY PARENTS, THEY ARE VERY KIND WITH A SENSE OF HUMOUR. I'M SURE YOU WILL
MAKE FRIENDS. I TOLD THEM TODAY ABOUT YUR POSSIBLE ARRIVAL, THEY THINK
IT WILL BE GREAT THAT YOU COME FIRST. THEY SAY THAT THEY WANT TO SEE THAT YOU ARE REALLY A RELIABLE MAN. THEY DO NOT
DOUBT BUT THEY ARE PARENTS. MY MOM STILL THINKS THAT I'M A LITTLE CHILD. SHE WORRIES WHEN
I COME HOME LATE WHETHER IT HAPPENS VERY VERY SELDOM. SHE IS VERY SENTIMENTAL, AND I'M TOO A LITTLE.
HONEY, I HAVE SOME PERSONAL AND ROMANTIC QUESTION TO YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PLACE AND what maKes
it so attractive to you? I will tell you about mine. THE BEST PLACE FOR ME is
IN MY town. We have a river here and the old bridge that is almost broken.
It is far from the center of the town and there are very few people there and very seldom
you may find someone in the place I like. I love staying on the bridge and looking
down at the river. I like water and it helps to think about personal and to find the
right decision. I think that the water is the alien world for human, it is like a
mystery. I wish I could spend many days at the seaside and watch the waves
coming, washing your feet and disappearing, leaving the tears on my skin. The
noise of the waves is the best music for me, looking at the water especially sea, I
realise how short the life is and how many things I will miss after death and how
few time I have for happiness... Honey, I'm waiting for your mails Do not disappear
Bye Yours
She said her last name was Vendenko, then told me her passport said Koffmann. That was her step-father's name. She needed me to send the money in the name of Koffmann. That is what it said on her passport. I sent you a picture of it.

Listed on this site under at least these two aliases as well: Oksana/Masha
Kuklina (Surgut, Russia) and Oksana Rybakova (Krasnoyarsk, Russia) I was first
contatced by her through an email through Neodate.com This is the name and
info she used when she hit me up for money. Natalya Smirnova, Lenina st. 127 -
73 Murmansk, Russia, 183014 She rushed her growing feelings and attachment
which made me rather suspicious. By the fifth email (the fourth one listed here)
she had already started to value our friendship and by the fifth and sixth, she was
closing with "Love Natalya" and expressing her passion for me. It took no more
than her eight email to start asking for money. So I did a search for her name on
the net, and after just the second site of Russian Scammers, I found her picture.
Hopefully by submitting her info here - the next guy will find it on the first try.
As of this date, 08-05-02, I have not contacted NeoDate yet. I jumped straight to
putting her info out and will contact NeoDate shortly. Natalya Smirnova,

Hi XXXXX!!! It's me Natalya from the Russia. I like you name. I so
excited that you have answered my letter. I am very glad. At all I do not know from what to begin
the letter. Probably, you will want to learn(find out) something about me directly?
Well I shall tell in brief about myself. I the ordinary Russian girl, practically am
distinguished by nothing from the others. Probably to describe itself it was easier,
if I did not do(make) it for the first time … Excuse me for mess of words, it
because I worry a little, you see this my first acquaintance through internet. It is
time to continue the story about itself. My growth of 168 centimeters, and weight
of 54 kg. These are normal proportions for the girl who keeps up itself and
goes in for sports. I very much love occupations by sports, without it I feel not so well. I go
in for sports from the childhood, I participated in competitions on track and field
athletics, and repeatedly won first place. My age of 26 years, it can seem at first
sight unnaturally, but it is the truth because I very much care of the health. And
you go in for sports? However, it has no for me the big value. Important that we
have found with you mutual understanding. I live and I work in city Murmansk,
here I was born and have grown, very much to like me my city. On the nature I the
cheerful person, try to enjoy each moment of my life and to transfer with a smile
all difficulties of my lonely life. I live one in a small apartment some years. First I
liked such life, but in due course I have understood, that in my life there is no
man, on this I have taken advantage of services of service of acquaintances. You
see you have answered my letter. I shall tell about the work: I work as
the dancing-master at school. To me to like to be engaged in dances. And you are
fond of dances? If you are fond, with which? I dance a waltz, a tango and variety
dances. Do not pay attention to mine not absolutely correct English because I
use the program the translator for a spelling of letters. But I well understand the
English language and constantly I study in new words, soon I shall seize it in
perfection. Do not leave my letter without the answer. I wait for your fast reply with
impatience. Sincerely Natalya. P.S. I send you my photo.

Hi my new friend XXXXX! I like you photo. You are pretty man. I am very
glad, that you have not disregarded my letter. It is pleasant for me of that I have liked you. I
shall continue the story about myself. As I already spoke you, I live one without
parents. I provide myself with all necessary. I have no children because it was
never married, and without a marriage I do not want to have children. I like to
listen to various music, the direction of music is not of great importance for me.
The main thing that music was good though I give the greater preference to tool
music. To me delivers great pleasure to go to theatres. I like sometimes
remaining a house in loneliness to dance under quiet music, ah if at this moment
near to me there was my favourite person, I all time dream of it. And now I in
search of the man with which I could connect all my stayed life. Our
correspondence will develop in something the greater sometime can??? How you
think??? I very much would like, that our letters were not mere words. Tell me
more about you. Than you are engaged at leisure? Tell about the work. It is very
interesting to me to learn(find out) about it. Still I like to read love novels before
going to bed. Now at us it is hot. And what weather at you? It is very interesting
to me to learn(find out) about it because I never was outside the
country. Though I very much like to travel. When to me was only 20 years, I actively was engaged in
the pedestrian tourism and a camping. It was fine time when we gathered with
friends at a fire at night and listened to songs with a guitar. We could stay at a
fire all night, it so perfectly look at a flame of a fire. And you were
fond earlier or now of a camping? When at us winter, I like to ski. I heard, that at you to ski, it is
necessary to go highly in mountains where there is a snow. It is the truth, what
you have not enough snow? Tell more about the city, your city big? My city not
so small. Once again many thanks for that that you have not disregarded my
letter. I shall wait for your new letter with impatience. It became interesting to me
to correspond with you. Your new friend from Russia Natalya. P.S. I have made
this photo this winter. In the winter we have a lot of snow.

pleasantly because, that you write me letters and that to you with me is pleasant to
correspond. I am glad, that have found to myself the friend in America. It so is
interesting to correspond with you through such big distance. And letters come
so quickly, what even it is possible to have time to state each other ideas which
have just arisen in your head. I have now thought of that as we have got
acquainted with you. Then I did not think at all that you will answer my letter, but I
trusted in that that you will answer my letter and it happened. Here in Russia I
long searched for myself worthy for the man, but and have not found, and you to
seem to me good the man. I want to tell to you a little about the work. As I
already spoke you, that I work as the dancing-master at school. I have group of
children which I train and bring up. We prepare for various stages with
children and we act at various competitions. More recently my group has won first place
on dances in our city. For me it is such pride. To my children very much to like to
be engaged at me. If you want I also could to learn you to dances though for this
purpose it will be necessary for us to meet face to face. And between us such
distance though in our life all can happen once. I yet did not tell to you
about the relatives? Then I shall tell. Except for my parents who live in my city, I have still
grandmother and the grandfather who live in a village, I sometimes visit them.

Hi my lovely friend XXXXX. Thank you for fine letters. I'm so
sorry, that I to not write to you recently. I'm sure in that that you do not forget me for one minute, I
think of you all time too. You at all do not imagine, as to me to like to receive
from you letters. To me to not be trusted, that I could find to myself the friend
through such big distance, moreover and such good. What at you now weather?
At us today it is hot, certainly not as at you. I present myself, that at you almost
never it happens coldly. I am right? I like this season -summer. You see it is
possible to go to sunbathe on a beach in the summer and to bathe in the river.
Near to our city there is a river. We with friends at leisure go there to bathe. I very
much love walks on a wood. I in general very much love a nature, and you love a
nature? Tell about the nature. What trees grow at you? At us grow: the maple, a
birch, a linden, an aspen, an oak, a pine and still is a lot of only. Today I have
dared to tell about you to the parents. They to react well to it. Mum has told that I

with the life. Still she asked to transfer you Hi … and has wished us all good
in our friendship. I already very strongly value our friendship. And how you treat to
our friendship? I wait from you for the letter. Hugs and kisses. Natalya.

Hi XXXXX. Today I was released earlier than usually to write to you
the letter. For me each time it is very pleasant to receive your letters. It heats my heart. For this
time I have understood that you very good the man, it is simple happiness, that I
could meet you. I have understood under your stories, that your country very good
place. I would like to visit your country sometime. Now I am interested in your
society much. I read books, I watch TV to become closer to you. I want to fully
comply with you that between us there were no disagreements. You see culture
in my country and in your country, very strongly differ from each other. And that
that can seem to me ridiculous, can offend you. As though I wanted to appear
near to you and to talk about all face to face. You see in all letters it
is impossible to express emotions which fill me. Prevents our full understanding that I use the
program - translator, for a spelling of letters a little more. Though I was very good
to speak the English language. Simply I have enough experience in a spelling of
the English words. It would be good if we once have met also you has
learned me to write in English. You at all do not imagine as I to you have become attached for
this short time. Now I very much value our friendship. Though I not each day have
time to write to you letters, but I want to receive your letters each day.
Sometimes I even think, that could leave the work only arrive to you and look in
your eyes. But while all this only dreams. Though can be sometime to these
dreams and it is necessary to come true. Sometimes to me to become terribly
from ideas, that our correspondence and will be finished by anything. And I do not
want, that our correspondence was finished by emptiness!!!! You hear? I do not
want!!! I very much want you to see. If such way to appear near to you I would give
everything that it happened was. I very much value our friendship, and I shall try,
that it did not stop never. Love and kissesssssssssssssssssss. Natalya.
P.S. Inform me your home address. I want sent to you the letter
written by my hand.

Hi XXXXX. I soooooo love you. Now I am completely sure, that have found
in you the man of the dream. You probably will ask me, " why so is fast? " I shall hasten
to answer you, that I simply not could hold in myself these feelings more, and
they have escaped outside. I simply did not know, how to you to tell about it at
once, you see then you would not understand me. I never tested such feelings to
anybody to another. I think, that you are created specially for me and I want to
be created only for you my love. Your letters always bring heat and a cosiness in my
heart though we and far apart, I all the same feel you as though you are with me
in one room. I so want to nestle and feel to you heat of your breath, I feel, that
with you to me will be always warm, even in the coldest weather. I believe that
you that the man which I searched for all life. I am very lonely here without you. I
store all your letters at myself and when me to become alone I read
them again and me to become little bit better. Sometimes I think, and
that if we would meet and have remained alone even for some minutes
then it would be the happiest day in my life. Interestingly, and there
is any way for our meeting? I so would like, that it was possible.
Tomorrow I shall go for the sake of my interest to any travel agency
and I shall ask them concerning an opportunity of travel to USA. I
hope, what you not against it? Please, tell me, that you think of it. I shall wait for your
answer. With all my love Natalya. P.S. In my dancing group of 15 children their
age approximately 8 years.

Hi my love XXXXX, I am very happy to read your letter, as always. Many
thanks for your good letter was interested. Your Russian very well. Today I went in one travel
agency about an opportunity of travel to USA. And then to me have told, that with
it there are no problems and I can arrive to you. Only for this purpose all over
again it is necessary for me to issue for myself the visa and the passport. Also
that for this purpose I was necessary for following in the American
embassy. In embassy to me have told, that it is necessary for me to do(make) the visa of the
visitor because I never was in USA and outside the country too earlier. The given
visa of the visitor to cost 65 dollars. The given visa entitles on stay to territories of
USA during 90 days (the visa of the visitor). For this time we very well
can learn(find out) each other and if necessary we shall prolong the visa. Still working
passport is necessary for my travel for me, and it at me is not present, it is
necessary for me to pay 143 more dollars for this plus of 30 dollars for registration
of documents necessary for the visa. Still, in travel agency to me have explained,
that for travel to USA it is necessary for me to pass immunization and full
medical inspection, it is all to cost 85 dollars. In general(common) me it is necessary 323
dollars. I have already paid 30 dollars for necessary documents and started
process of reception of the visa. But it is necessary for me to pay other part of
money for reception of the visa and an opportunity there will be you my love. It is
awkward to me to ask you about it but if you have helped me to pay other part of
cost of the visa I could finish process of reception of the visa very
soon and to arrive to you. I would pay all this, but unfortunately I
to not have such money. I have found out as you can send me money. You
can send it through the Western Union. Unfortunately other system of
remittances in our city is not present. Besides in bank to me have
told that it is the most reliable system of remittances in the world
and that money reach very quickly. To send the money, my address is
necessary for you. It is my address: Natalya Smirnova, Lenina st. 127 - 73
Murmansk, Russia, 183014 After you will send me money you should inform me
control number of translation (MTCN) it consists of 10 figures. And still the full
name and a home address, only after that I can receive this money. Such
information to me have informed in bank which to be near to my house.
You at all do not imagine as I want to see you to nestle on you and to
speak words of love. I sleep and I see day of ours with you meetings.
I so would like that this day has come as soon as possible. That we
have met face to face and long looked in the face each other. I am
capable to overcome any difficulties for the sake of ours with you
meetings. I very strongly love you and I send you HUGS and KISSES.
With all my love Natalya.
Oksana Demina (Cheboksary, Russia)
I'm a divorced 34 year old white male from New York, USA. I'm also an ex cop
and ex private investigator. Which in my case is probably a good thing. This
scammer didn't even wait 72 hours before trying to talk me into spending over a
thousand on "her." "Oksana" used the following method of operation:
Alleged to be a product of divorced parents. Claims the mother and father to be poor but
want her to have a better life overseas. Claims to be graduating on March 25th of
2003. None of this would be abnormal, other than the fact that her statements are
contradictory. I checked with the only University local to her, and no such female
attends or has attended. I also checked with the Sevorgnya bank in her alleged
home city, and they verified they are the only authorized Western Union location
there. (I did send her a $40.00 money transfer to "test the water". Naturally she
claimed she needed the transfer number to receive said monies. However, I
contacted WU and they did verify that, as with here in the US, she need only
produce photo ID verifying her identity. Needless to say I've already written
Western Union and called them and had that money held without hope of receipt.
I'll be getting it back as planned.) (New money saving idea: Send a money order
to a Russian Con-apprentice (not artist) knowing that they'll never get it.)
To continue: "She" also contradicted herself by telling me in another mail that she
had already graduated with "highest marks". Her mother apparently changes jobs
as well, going from a chocolate factory to a textile job. There were numerous
other key factors. I gave her credit for a few things, because she claims to speak
English and write it, but not to type it well, which is certainly understandable. She
alleged that the translation software made some of the errors. She further
claimed to be using a internet cafe, but upon checking up on her e-mail routing a bit, I
discovered she was using an anonymous remailer, which the only two internet
cafes' located in Cheboksary (who are on the net anyway) claim that they have
their e-mail software set up with heavy restrictions. Unless "she" is a good
hacker, there's no way she's using a remailer from a 'net cafe. She sent
duplicates of her first five mails to three separate e-mail addresses of mine. (Yes,
I'm crafty, thank you) Note she also attempted the standard "Visa/Passport/Ticket" scam. I checked up on her pricing as well, and it fell quite
short. Good luck to all of you out there! (Oh, by the way, some of the "scammer
reports" I've seen here show absolutely no reasons why they are claiming the
woman to be a scam artist. In fact a few of them appear to be innocent
completely, in that all they did was become upset that they were accused of
being con-artists when they hadn't even asked for a dime. Let's not let holding a
grudge against a woman you are intimidated by be a motive here guys. Thanks) Following are the first three mails she sent. These are enough in my opinion.
MAIL from "Oksana":
No. 1:

Hello, Randall Thank you for the letter.
I want find a soul person for who more important a soul condition than
material. I not material person, so I searches for a person which has a rich
soul! I am 23 yo, I will 24 yo on 22 august. I have a graceful body of 167 sm (5.6) heigh and 54 kg (near 115 - 120) weigh.
I like to take care of myself, my appearance, my face, my body. And, I
believe, that a woman should always look very nice and attractive. I also to keep my body in
shape as sport gives people not only health, but much energy and strength, when
doing sports you are always in good mood and don`t concentrate negative
emotions on yourself. I very love children, children - our future. Do You love
children? I like people who have goals in their life and strive for them. As for
my goals, at present I want to find my heartmate, the man who will be my best friend
and best husband. Perhaps, you will ask me: "Why don`t you find your love in
your country?" And my answer will be the following: I want my husband to be a
foreigner, because, I don`t like Russian men, because they drinking much vodka
and less romantic. A lot of women married and moved abroad for good and they
are very happy, they say, Don`t doubt. I have got serious intentions to find a long
term relationship with a mature gentleman. I want have relations with the older
person than I because young men not serious about family and do not know what
they want from the life, so I wrote you. I think, the most important things in the
relationship between two loving hearts is honesty, trust, respest, faithfulness and
love... There are many people who differ greatly from each other but all of them
want to be happy. I think we should strive for being happy, because very often it
is useless just sit and wait for your love. We should act but not wait something
unreal! Do you have any photo? Send me please. I hope you got interested in me
and want have really a sincere realationships, if so e mail me please. I hope you
have a nice day and I will happy if my letter add little warm in your day.
Sincerly Oksana
