Elena Karaseva
(Magadan, Russia)
She saw an ad I had on Excite and contacted me. I saw your web site and did not think too much about it until I noticed all her pictures were in numeric sequence. That made me suspicious, so I checked.
Bingo, there she was.
Here are her letters and pictures:
Letter #2 ( I deleted #1)
Hi my friend. I am so glad that I write you again. I did not expect
that I shall write to you again. It is pleasant to me very much that
you liked my last letter. I very much love to travel. Earlier, I very
much went alone Russia with the mum, when some more prices for the
tickets were not expensive. Now I can afford to go with friends not far
from city on Lakes. We go in campaigns in the summer. It is very
perfect, at us very beautiful territory. I wait for a summer when I can
take the bag and I shall go on lake again, wood, guitar, the tent,
unless it is not perfect? I love to look cinema, I like the Russian
comedies, and melodrama, I like very much the film Romeo and Juliet
with Leonardo de Caprio. When I look it I always cry. I believe what
there is such love, and you? Unfortunately I have no the telephone
home, it is a problem at us in territory, frequently switch off
electricity or gas, and telephone to put, it simply was the fairy tale,
but it is impossible. I can call to you, if you will give me your
telephone number. I have very good family, the father works in
boiler-house stoker, and mum works the teacher. My mothers name is
Tatyana, she is the very kind woman. With her I am always divided by
the pleasures and griefs. She never will give up to me in
advice(council). I not I would know that I did(made) if I did not have
such perfect mum. If you Saw as to learn(teach) children. To her
lessons always to reign an atmosphere of understanding. My fathers name
is Vasiliy, he is 55 years old, he will leave on pension soon. I am
glad that he has not given in to the Russian habit to drink vodka, in
our city very many men drinking because of financial problems much. It
is very heavy for them families. I do not want that my future children
grew in such family. It is one more reason why I want to leave. I think
that you understand me. I have finished institute 4 years back. It is
perfect student's it was time. Sessions, you know that this such, do
not sleep at the night worry, and when comes day of examination, heart
simply jumps out from a breast. I think that you gone through it too. I
am very much liked to study life. After institute I have offered to
work in restaurant and I could not refuse because in my city very few
workers places. Our live so poorly, but is amicable. I not so small,
but frequently am addressed(paid) for advice(council) to By it. It is
very perfect when in family there is a mutual understanding. I am
always dream to create such family. Only I want to have two or three
children. I am sole child, parents to present me all love . I do not
think that I have grown egoist. I very much love honesty and decency.
If I to create the family I think that in the attitudes(relations) with
the husband the complete trust to each other, I will be main to
consider(count) that it is a pledge of strong family. I love animals. I
have a dog . His name is Poborol. It is a Rotwailler, I love to go for
a walk with him to play.He answers to me by reciprocity and always
protects me if someone wants to stick me. At us very much not quiet
city. But I am not afraid because Pobolol always with me . I think that
you closely(attentively) have read all, shall write to me again. I
shall be with impatience to wait for your answer. Write to me about
youself more more and do not forget to send me telefon number. I wait
the letter from you. Elena.
Letter #3
Hi Steve
Hi my friend! It's wonderful to receive the letter from you. Today, after job I hurried up in the Internet-cafe to see your new letter. I
hope that I write enough clearly and it is a lot of about myself. I'll
try to answer all your questions. If I not answer your question maybe I
can't understand it, don't take offence at me and write it once again.
I think that with each new letter we become closer the friend to the
friend, I hope that you feel it. I think that you understand that main
purpose in my life is to find that unique, my heart with which I can go
through all of life together to meet pleasure, occurrence of children,
to grow them to surround with care to present them happy childhood, so,
I dream of it!!! I think that you understand me and your vital purposes
are similar to mine and I in shower hope that sometimes our hearts are
meet. I want to inform you a little about my life. As you know I work
by the cook in a restaurant. I wake up at 7 o'clock in the morning,
prepare myself breakfast. At every morning I eat a sandwich and I drink
coffee. Then I meal on job. I meal by the bus. Sometimes there are very
many people on a stop and I can not get in the bus and I have to go on
foot. Generally I like of walk, but I like of slow walk when it is not
necessary where to hurry up, to pass on familiar to streets to go to
the girlfriends in the visitors to sit and drink tea to talk. I like to
be in company of the good friends. With them it is possible to decide
any problems, to divide(share) pleasures. Always it's pleasant to
surprise the friends, to see at their reaction. How I'll live without
the friends? I work from 8 o'clock morning and till 6 evening. My job
on the one hand interesting, but difficult. At us the very bad chief,
he constantly swears. It is very unpleasant. But I always like to work
and irrespective of my mood I should on 100 be given back to job. The
job made with love brings pleasure to the people. I am always pleasant
to see the smile on a persons of our visitors. In the evening I go in
the Internet-cafe to look the mail, but it sometimes not works,
therefore if I'll write to you in current of one - two days don't worry
necessarily I'll write to you as there will be an opportunity. A day
off at me Saturday and Sunday. In target I like to read the books, to
go for a walk along my city, to visit a cinema. Except for that in days
off a lot of time I spend on home jobs. I like to prepare houses, I
like to please close preparing them any tasty things. In the afternoon
in target I am cleaned at home, I like when the order of a house. I do
not like when are scattered thing, lays on shelfs dust, the dirty linen
in to basket,in a bowl not we utensils, you agree with me lays? We owe
to trust one another, because without trust it is impossible to live. I
earlier too have trusted in the person and he has deceived me. I want
to tell to you about it I was madly in love with the person, and he
pretended that he likes me. Actually he scoffed at my feelings. There
was such, that he nominated to me meetings, promised to come to me, I
waited for him, and he did not occur. Sometimes I cried, because he did
not come in the evening, at us in city in the evening I am not so quiet
also worried for him. And he, came in day or through two and spoke,
that he has businesses and that he likes me. And then I have found out
through his friends, that at this time he had a good time with what
that by the maidens. He did not like to work, he often
borrowed(occupied) from me money, promised to give back, but never
returned the debts. And I forgave him, because liked. I even hid it
from the mom. Some time has passed and I have seen him in the street
with other woman. They were kissed. I did not remember as has come
home. I cried all night. I had depression very much long. I began much
to work and began to overlook(forget) this villain. After that case I
have decided, that I'll never deceive the in love people, I shall never
scoff and to play by feelings other people. Further I have decided that
I shall search for the kind person to have family and children. This
person should be more senior than me, that he could learn me and my
future children. I'll ask to tell you about that as you spend the day,
than you are engaged, how spend target? Tell to me about the friends,
about native. I with impatience wait for yours next letter, your
letters for me as a beam of the sun among day. Your letters heat to me
to shower. Today since morning bad weather, blows strong cold wind,
mood bad and only idea about volume that I'll see your letter warms me
this day. I want to tell you about childhood. I was born on June 1,
1974. The mother and father very much liked me and brought up me rather
strictly. But I am grateful to them for it. I had many friends and we
with them played in a court yard ours at home. It were the carefree
years, we lived and we did not have those problems which have appeared
when I has grown. I studied at school on good and perfectly. I always
remember my first teacher, she has opened for us a door in knowledge
and due to her I can freely communicate with the people. I am
indefinite Is grateful to her for that feeling of human kindness that
she to all of us has imparted. As I grew at me the outlook I varied
opened for itself very much. There were also tragical the moments in my
childhood. Once we with the parents were on a beach and I saw as the
boy has sunk. He athed at the large waves, the large wave on him and he
could not come up, has choked and has gone. My father has rushed in the
sea behind him, has pulled out him, but already than it was impossible
to help, he was already dead. It was made on me by(with) such
impression and I some days cried. It was very a pity. Even now, after
there are years, he to dream a lot of me and at me from eyes flow
tears. Ours boys were cheerful, they sometimes offended us, but made it
nor for evil and we with girlfriends on them not hardly took offence.
But in due course our boys, as well as all the man's population of
Russia, have begun to drink, to smoke, many have begun to steal and
then have got in prison. But I do not condemn them because the
realities of our Russian life are those. And with girlfriends we up to
this time we are friends and sometimes we meet we talk, we listen to
music. I like various music. Sometimes, when I have a good mood I
listen dancing music, and when I am sad I like to listen to slow music.
I think that with each letter between us there is something greater
than friendship. We begin more to trust one another, we become more
frank, you agree with me? I think that our showers approach. On it all
I should go home. Yours close friend....Elena.
Letter #4
Hi my liked friend Steve!!!
I am very glad to receive your letter. I hope that you can understand my letters. Today at us solar weather and it is
very wonderful. Today I worked and had The conflict to my boss. He has
shouted at me and I was upset, I all day went with bad mood. But it
that at me is pleasure in life it is yours letters. Yesterday with me
there was a unpleasant case. I went for a walk in the evening with my
dog and any unfamiliar people stuck to me. I have cried, but nobody has
come to the aid. Only mine correct Poborol was threw over them. They
were frightened and have escaped. I have gone home and has told to all
parents, they have begun to calm me but I all night could not fall
asleep, I was in a shock. Today I went in church and only there to me
became quiet. I Ortodox christian and always I go in church. Our
churches very beautiful, walls and ceilings are ornamented by icons,
candles everywhere cost(stand). In church so quietly and there I always
I find a peace of mind. To me to like to listen as sing songs, as the
church employees read Prays. I like your letters, when I read them I
feel as we approach. We are far apart. But it does not prevent our
dialogue. Though I already thought, that it is absolutely enough of
dialogue through the Internet not to understand each other more
strongly. What you think of it? I would like to see you not only on a
photo. But I not I know as it probably, because we very much far apart.
I liked you and I think that our attitudes(relations) can be deeper. I
do not know as to explain it by words. I simply feel it. Your letters
do(make) my mood high. It becomes joyful on soul to me. I want to ask
you to write to me your address, I am possible I shall write to you the
letter. I do not remember you wrote whether or not, I can not save your
letters, because them can to read somebody another. My address Russia,
685015, city of Magadan, street Pushkin 43-90. But I think that it is
not necessary to write to me because can steal the letter, and would
not be desirable for me that someone knew about that about what we with
you we think. I hope you understand me. I shall wait your letters and I
hope that you will write to me soon. I think that sometime we shall
meet. I would like to arrive to America, to meet with you to see as you
live. I want it because I begin to understand that between us there is
something greater than the friendship seems to me what is it feeling
trust to each other, it seems what is it love, you seem that to me too
feel it. I wait for your answer, it is very important to me to know
that you think of that that I have written. Take Care & God Bless. Elena.
Thanks for the save!
Steve
   
Elena
Lebedeva - aka Elena Karaseva (Magadan, Russia)
Just thought you might want to know that she is
alive and scamming. I received an E-mail from her based on my profile at Match.com (they are being
alerted in order to remove her profile), so I took a look and wrote her
back. By nature, I am a very, very skeptical person, so when I started noticing
discrepancies, I put on the brakes. The final result was a letter identical to Jay's, though I will give her credit for at least
appending my name to it :-) She was kind enough to provide a new photo nearly every
letter. Also, her name was changed to Elena Lebedeva, although the address, bank, etc.
remained the same. the e-mail addresses she used were:
elenakaras@fromru.com
elenakaras@pochtamt.ru
BTW, I was at first quite fooled by here letters, 9 before the final one
asking for cash. Only the increasing vagueness and speed with which her
passion developed alerted me in time.
As an afterthought, I seriously considered
sending her some money via USPS, since surprisingly enough, if sufficient proof of intent to commit fraud was
provided (which now exists BTW), Russia and the USA both belong to the
International Postal Union...this means that she could in theory be extradited to
the US to serve prison time, the Post Office has the highest rate of conviction of
any law enforcement agency in the country. They are QUITE serious about mail fraud.
Best of luck,
Damien Fox
Eleonora
Belova (Odessa, Ukraine)
It's a small world. Last night I printed out all the pages of the blacklist scam
stories and then read them. The most amusing was from Pasha Samohvalov
(Kherson), who sent a letter asking for money because her mother was hit by a
car. This morning I opened my email and found my third letter from Eleonora
Belova in Odessa. Eleonora's email is visio333@beep.ru. Here is her letter:
Hi dear
Sorry that I did not answer so long. There is big grief there. A car hit my ma and
now hi is in the hospital in the critical condition. We with the father do not know
what do. The Doctor give us a list that we needed to buy and said that all this
needed to buy immediately. Hospitals in out country poor and there is nothing
there, no even bandages and beds linen. The Doctor has said that he helps all
than can, but he can not to buy it itself. If we does not buy all that he said in time,
he said that ma die, I not know that I then shall do, my ma the most best person
in my lifes. I in such mad condition that I seem that this dream. This can not be.
My ma can die on my eyes. We with the father already have spent all money
which we had for this. Sold and pawned all that have been able. And we needed
near 200US$ more and we do not know from where we can have it. I understand that we with you practically do not know each other. We far away
from each other
Your Eleonora
Pasha's letter and Eleonora's letter are the same - word for word. It's a small world.
I decided to have some fun with this one. So, I responded to her "my mother was hit by a car" letter with the following:
My Dear Sweet Eleonora,
I am so distressed to hear about your poor mother. You must be so upset that you can't each or sleep. Of course, I will send you money. In fact, I can't believe $200 is all that you need. I want to send more than $200 so your mother can receive the best care possible. How much do you think you will need to insure the best care possible?
I have just one request before I send the money to you by Western Union. Please send me several photos of you. I have heard that there are unscrupulous agencies on the internet who scam foreigners. But I am a good judge of character can tell from your letters that you are real. But, I have seen only on thumbnail-sized photo of you. As soon as I receive several photos from you, I will know for sure that you are the woman of my dreams and not just a photograph used by an agency.
I send you my love and my best wishes for your mother,
Your O.A.
She responded within two hours [with 12 professional photos of herself
numbered from 1 to 12]. Keep in mind that in a previous letter she told me that it would be a two weeks before she could send me photos because she didn't have the money now: Here is her reply:
Hi dear
you the best man. You will help me wery much. I heed near 1300US$ for my mother.
But it is to hard for me to ask you so much. I need 200 today and the rest after some days.
But if 1300US$ not so much for you It will be wery wery good. Please hurry. I will be waithing you.
Your Eleonora.
O. A.
   
Lyudmila Merkusheva
(Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine) - aka Oksana Bocharnikova (Kharkov, Ukraine)
I just thought that you would like to
know that I have just received 2 e-mails from a person who has
identified herself as:
Lyudmila Merkusheva
Sverdlova str.52, app.47
49052 Dnepropetrovsk
Ukraine
The photo that this person sent to me
is the EXACT same photo that you have posted for a woman that had
called herself:
Oksana Bocharnikova (Kharkov)
Apparently, this woman has changed her
name and address. To date, no mention of money has been made, but I'm
sure it will be made very soon. Thanks for the info that was provided
from this site. It may just have saved me a lot of grief and a lot of
wasted time writing e-mails to "Lyudmila".

much, me too, even weekend today, Natalia at work and I'm in cousin's travelling office too for
checking my travell plans to you, we speaking and taking some hot tee with
great cake, which I just bought for us by the road to her... I checked my post from her computer and wow... received your great letter
again! I'm happy what we have possobility to meet and will see each other so
soon,this is really positive news! I have been in USA once,but now with you
all this so exiting! We could visit even some interesting places,Natalia told me all this should
be unbelievable great!!! Now I continue to work,but ...yes I have more free time amd will take my
vacation soon! So by my plans I could come to you even for 2 weeks and in
days hope suitable for you too- since 9 to 23 of June! Now I was speaking with
my cousin, she works in turism many years, in travelling company
"Suntour"here (I told you!), so she so kind and will help us organize this meeting.
I'm so hurry always-this is bad point of me, but I so exiting to come to you
you can't imagine, or may be can - cause you too? Now we just checked all
details of this trip. At first I need US visa, Natalia just asked her college Katerina and she was so kind to help us
too. She will give my documents to consulat here like me inside travell
group (this is more easy way), fortunatly it will be not long
procedure, but anyway - for reciving this visa necessary wait around 1
week! Travel visa with spesial medical insurens, which they ask in consulat cost - 130
USD. Now Natalia also checked possible flights to you and price of my airticket
,You right better and cheaper New York, but anyway you know all looks so
expensive compare with my salory, really! But she choised and booked for me
this like she told chip around airtisket, which she could receive with a big
travelling sale and discount -so it cost - 560USD (this is ok?-I'm not big
specialist in all those prices!), this is around tarif by good aircompany with 1 suitable connection even...
I send you details: But now the worst part. Natalia tried to account expenses for this trip. It
will be totally-690 USD included visa and flight. I appreciate if you take
care about, espessialy because I only finished to paint many new pictures for
gallery and spent a lot of money for matterials. But anyway I can pay something
too, unfortunatly-only 50 USD (so what you should pay is 640USD), hope you not smile but here 80USD is a normal salary so difficult to
accumulate big money. I even understand your situation so feel free to
decide what is possible for you; if this is not in your forces than we shall
find any other solution, my dear. Now, if you decide to help me, about
paymant, Natalia reccomend us -"WESTERN UNION"sistem, I never use it,
but her travelling - company use always for quik and not dangerous connections nearest
time, cause credit card and bank account paymant from abroad enouth dangerous and often not use now in
Russia. Also one thing -my national passport now in police, fortunatly I just few
days ago began remake my new international passport, cause old one finished
by dates of using,but new one necessary for any trip abroad, and now passport will there also few days and I could not go to bank for this
transfer... So Natalia will help me,also she has now more free time and bank just in
same building with her office...You should transfer money by this sistem to
her name:
NATALIA KOVALEVA (my cousin). Take care to surname must be exact.
Russia, St Petersburg
ONLY HAVE TO SPECIFY HER DETAILS AND EXACT AMOUNT IN USD. After sent you
should send me CODE NR of transfer and your full data (NAME + SURNAME
+ ADDRESS), or you could send this details directly to cousin's email to work
- suntour2001@yandex.ru (for

and airtisket. So I need now 640USD for those expensives and better if you could transfer nearest
days, what we have enouth time for visa! I hope this is not difficult for you!
I wait your news asap! About transfer and our travell plans you could also write directly to my
cousin, she will check your emails since now! So, let me know as soon as you
receive this letter. You can write me even today cause later after work I
will go to Natalia's house to check email from time to time. Hope all will be
okay.... I am so emotioned and really wish all okay. Please write me back soon, kisses Vita***

you, so please tell me what you like more-some action, some person,
some nature? I'll try to choise best for you! And what about discos in your
place, can we go? cause I love dance, especially latino! About our close communication I will wait your call in next
week, cause they promised to finish this crazy repair of our phone line at
last, or could call you even on this week from cousin's office, give me time and phone siuitable
for this call, if you can't wait...
Notice the other e-mail address and that the phone won't be fixed until
after the money changes hands. Also, there is no offer to call her at her
cousins house... hummmm Let's see, if they have an internet connection
there... there should be a working phone.
Thanks for your site and I will send you more as I find them. And no, the
money was never sent. ;)))

Natasha Kuvshinova
(Ekaterinburg, Russia) - 1
My story started out with an e-mail response to an ad I have on
SinglesNet.com. The name on the profile is Natt 1. This should have been
my first clue that something was not right. But, being new to the idea of
possibly marrying a Russian woman, I went for all the e-mails hook, line,
and sucker. She would write me almost daily, telling me how lucky she was that we found
each other, how lonely her heart was, all the stuff that just makes your
average guy think he as hit pay dirt. Well, as the letters continues to
come in, I began to notice that questions were not being answered, the
constant references to when was I coming over to marry her, and the inconstant English in her letters. My first red flag was when she told me
how much she liked the pictures I attached to my e-mails. I had never sent
her a single picture of myself. The only one she had was the one off the
personal ad. My second red flag was the sudden business trip she had to
take when I asked her about both of us taking our ads down. I figured it would not hurt to do some web research on Russian women, and
Russia in general, so off to the web I went. In my search, I found this
site, and something made me take a look. As I scrolled through the letters
from other guys who have been scammed, and I saw the letter below. As I
read over it, I realized that I knew this letter, and went back through all
the saved mail I had for Natasha, and there was the same letter.
YOU ARE VERY NECESSARY FOR ME!!! I very much LOVE the letter, which you have
written to me, it was longer than most of all and VERY INTIMATE HEATING!! It
did(made) my HEART And SOUL GOOD!!! It has given me very warm feelings
inside, downwards is deep in my SOUL. I want more than life directly for YOU
to be WITH YOU! I am very lonely here without YOU! Everything, that I have -
your letters to hold me by progress. I come back and I read them, when I am
lonely for YOU. But then it does(makes) me is sad, because I can not be with
YOU NOW! I WANT OUR UNION MORE THAN THAT - BE, that I HAVE EVERYONE REQUIRED
In LIFE!!!!!!! IT HAPPEN!!!!! YOU - very much thing, about which I could ask
in LIFE, YOU CARE, LOVE, UNDERSTANDING, And HONOUR!!!!! I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH
MY LOVE. I had no such feelings of love in very long time. I can inform YOU,
that YOU ARE THAT FOR ME!!!! UNIQUE(SOLE) I WANT!!!!!!!! NOBODY WILL FORCE
ME TO FEEL a WAY, WHICH YOU DO(MAKE) by!! MY EMOTIONS STRONGEST FOR YOU And
YOU ONLY!! I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE YOU!! THEY - MINE of SYMPATHY YOU, And WE
YET HAVE NOT CAPTURED!!! SO, WHEN WE COVER, MY FEELINGS WILL BLOW UP!!!!!!!!!!! IT WILL BE the
HAPPIEST MOMENT of MY LIFE With FROM a QUESTION!!!!!!! Now I can only dream of this time, but soon real soon it is
going to happen, and I SHALL BE the HAPPIEST WOMAN In the WORLD And YOU
HAPPIEST MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE, PLEASE WRITE to
ME, FREQUENTLY I NEED In YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTHING WILL STOP ME FROM a
PRESENCE(FINDING) With YOU!!!!!!
I consider myself lucky. I was only asked for money once, in an early letter. She said she needed money to get me a travel to come visit her in
Russia. Lucky for me I just finished paying for my vacation to Ireland this
year, and did not have the money at the time. She never asked for money
again, but did ask me in almost every letter when would we meet, and marry.
She also gave me the following address:
Natasha Kuvshinova
Street Shevchenko House 8
Apartment #47
Ekaterinburg Russia
If anyone wants copies of the other letters she sent me, I will be happy to
forward them to you upon request. And if anyone knows who the lady in the
pictures really is, please let me know. She is very attractive.

profile on adultsingles.com . Her Profile number there is D300924. My name is Alex Whitaker and I am a 39 year old man in Phoenix Arizona
seeking a Russian wife. The scammer " Natasha Kuvshinova " first contacted
me saying she was looking for a husband in America. She stated that she
needed money to obtain a visa and said that she lived in Ekaterinburg Russia. I suspected that she was a fraud because she would not make a custom image
file for me and yet she said she had a friend who was a professional photographer. I decided to send her 50.00 $ so that she could call me and
develop film. She had claimed that she had no phone. The address She gave me
was
Natasha Kuvshinova
Street Shevchenko The House 8
Apartment #47
Ekaterinburg, Russia
We had at that point exchanged about 10 e-mails.
In each e-mail she sent a new photo of herself but she would never send a photo of
herself holding up a card with my name written on it as I had requested.
She also went to the extent of sending me a wave file saying "hello my friend
this is Natasha from Russia". I noted that the wave file did not include my
name. She also left a message on my voice mail at 2:00 am when she knew I
would be on the internet and unable to answer her phone call. I became angry
after she refused to respond to my questions about when exactly she would
call me. I accused her of being a fraud in my next e-mail and asked that the flowery letters from her stop unless her next e-mail contained the image
file that I had requested. My conclusion is that she wanted to trick me into
sending money for a visa and plane ticket however she wanted me to think the
idea was my own by saying that she had little money and was asking her
relatives to help her with the cost of a visa. A very clever ploy but it did
not work. My main complaint is the amount of time I wasted writing this
person. A week later I happened to see her photo and profile on Adultsingles.com. She is listed as "Ira ID # D300924"
She did not reply to my response on the adultsingles site by the way even
when I told her that someone else was using the same photo. To me this
indicates this is the same con artist. I reported this to "Adultsingles" on
June 4th 2001 but I have not yet heard from them on what they intended to do
about her False profile. The following is her false profile information.
