Letters:

Dear Thanks a lot for your nice letter and photos; I like them very much. I am happy you ask many questions; that means you are really interested in me. My full name is Olga Toropova but my friends and parents call me Olya; it sounds not so official as Olga; you can call me this name if you like, I'll be very pleased. The tourist agency I work for is called Puma (like a wild animal); it's quite big for our town. Our agency is a tour agent; we work with big tour operators from Moscow. I've been working here as a tour-manager for about 3 years. I like my job; it's interesting to communicate with new people, to learn many things but sometimes I feel a little tired after the working day. Last summer I went to Egypt; this was my first visit abroad. I was very impressed by the Red Sea; it is so beautiful, especially during sunset! You know I saw a sea for the first time and I liked it so much. Unfortunately the place I live in is very far from any sea; I'd be happy to go there every year and I would be so happy to see Thank you for nice words about my English. I studied it for 3 years in the University; unfortunately I lack practice of speaking English now but I do hope our communicating will help me in future.  Michael, you know when I read your letter I caught my mind on the fact that we really have many things in common, the same attitude to many things. I think it's wonderful! As well as you I like to do sports to keep fit, especially dance or step aerobics, shaping, and fitness at all. I like skating in winter so much. Several years ago I played tennis a little. I also enjoy music, both Classical and Rock and Roll but I don't like Rap at all either. I like sea very much. Isn't this a surprising coincidence? Sorry that I can't write you every day; I correspond with you through the agency; unfortunately it's quite far from my house and work so I don't manage to visit it every day but I hope you will understand and won't be upset with me. , please, tell more about yourself; I am very interested in you. How old are you? Have you ever been married? Do you have children? What type of doctor are you? Have you ever been to Russia? I would really be happy to meet you some day if we like each other. I think looking in one's eyes, hearing a voice sometimes tells more than a lot of words.  I'll be looking forward to getting your answer and promise to send you some pics in the nearest future. Take care. Best wishes, Olya.  

Written by the Lady without an interpreter's assistance.

Dear ! It was very nice hearing from you again. Thanks for the photos; I like them very much especially the one you are doing something with your patient on; it looks a little bit frightening (smile). First of all, I want to say I am really interested in you and I don't want to loose you; I'd be happy to talk to you on the phone or give you my home e-mail but unfortunately I can't do it as I write you through the agency and don't know your address. Well, getting phone number or e-mail address is not free there I guess. So I asked them to write you about all the conditions of getting phone number. If you call I'll be able to tell you my home e-mail; it will be very comfortable; I'll be able to write you more often and free. I'd also be very pleased to hear your voice; I am sure it is as nice as you look on photos. By the way, I wouldn't ever think you are 43; you look much younger, about middle thirties; perhaps it's because you are very sporty. Thank you for telling about your family. My family is not as big as yours. I live with my parents. And I am the only child in my family (smile). My parents both are 52 y.o.; my Mum is a dental mechanic; she works in a big state hospital. My Dad has a small business; he sells details for cars; he is very fond of automobiles. I have many cousins, aunts and uncles; some of them live in the Ukraine and in Germany. I've also got a small, very beautiful green-eyed kitten who I enjoy spending time with. As well as you I like traveling very much; but I can't say I traveled a lot; unfortunately traveling is quite expensive here. Though I work in the tourist agency trip to Egypt was my first experience of traveling abroad. I visited some places in Russia, Ukraine, Baltic countries; several times I went to Moscow but I've never been to St. Petersburg. I heard this city is the most charming in Russia; I hope to visit it some day. Moscow is a very beautiful and interesting city as well but it doesn't have such a special charm as Peter. My town is 800 km far from Moscow; so it takes about 9 hours by car or 15 hours by every-day train to get there. Yes, I do believe in fate and destiny. And I'd be happy to realize we are each other's destiny one day. I hope I will when we meet (smile). I've got a question for you. You are a very interesting person and a handsome man; I am sure women always pay much attention to you; so I wonder why you are still single, never married? Please, answer if you don't mind. Congratulations on coming St. Valentines Day!! Let love make your life harmonious, happy and joyful! I'll be waiting for your next letter with great impatience. Take care. A lot of kisses, Olya.

Tanya from Kiss.com

Hi, my name is David, Dlewis1313@hotmail.com, I am a 34 year old divorced  man from California. I was contacted on KISS.com by a few scammers, but this  is the most obvious one. She calls herself Tanya, says she's from the  Ukraine, and has a son named Nikita. Gives the basic sob story about how bad  her life is, and how she wishes a nice man could love her, blah, blah, blah,  calls me honey, dear, darling, then asks for money. Luckily I discovered  Elena's website, so I knew what to look for, I hope this saves some other  guy. Her e-mail is lonely_heart_02@mail.ru

First letter:

Hello my Dear Friend! I'm very glad that among many ads you chose just mine! That you are interested in me, David! Thanks for the pictures. It was really pleasure for me to see you. I'm 28 years . I'm 170 cm in height. My weight is 53 kg. My small Angel is 2.5 years and his name is Nikita. Now I really live only by hope. Though many years I suffered from loneliness, I know that I'll find my wayout. Only Love can give peacefulness and joy. I do not look for pen- pal. I dream and family coziness. David, I want to share all kindness I have in my soul. I want to find my Only One and to be the only for him. In this uneasy and at once nice life we so much need the one who will believe in us and the main thing is to understand. To create own unique world without unsincere and empty - what can be more important? My family life unfortunately isn't happy, David. But I have nice child. Since I stayed lonely, much in life turned to me the other way. I learned to value simple human joys and stopped to take hurting trifles close to me. I look at future with hope for you, Nice. Surely it's very hard to be  lonely. But I can't feel despair for my child's sake. The most happy time for me  is when I spend it with my child. On the whole I like children. And they love me too as I can see. So I value my work much. I work as a tutor of children in kindergarten. I like my job very much and each day come to work with pleasure. I'll tell of my work in details in my next letter. I wait for your letters, David. I kiss you All the best. Tanya P.S. Write me only to my e-mail : lonely_heart_02@mail.ru

Second letter, request for money:

Hello my Dear David! I'm so glad that you have received my letter. Thank you very much Darling for the chance you give to me, chance to love and be loved and for  the hope you put into my heart. I read a little bit more about you with a great interest. It seems for us  both it wasn't always so as we wanted. But now we have each other and we both can value the most important things in life. Love and simple human happiness. I want to tell you, David, of my job. It's my second family . As the Love of these small Angels is so real and doesn't demand anything .I like to walk and play different games with them. I seem to find myself in another dimension. They have their own world - bright, joy and kind. It's filled  with loud child's laughter . I'm grateful to them without limit that they took me to them and  let to be the part of their world. Darling , I'll tell you a little bit about my city. It's called Kremenchug.  The city is industrial. But not looking at this the city is beautiful. There are a lot of parks here. We  with my angel especially like to go to the river. The Dnieper river flaws through our city. When it's warm outside we can stay for a long time and admire how it's waves clamor. There is a lake not far from our house. In winter when it's frozen a lot of children go there to skate. In summer when the water in  it is warm a lot of people come to swim and get brown or just have good rest. We with Nikita  also like to go to the lake. But sometimes I feel very sad that during our walking with him alone I see a  lot of parents play with their children. And I know that Nikita will lack man's father's attention  with time. And if honestly I'm afraid very much of the time when hi would ask me why hi doesn't have  father and I would have nothing to say. But now when you, David, appeared in my life I believe  that everything will change and I will never hear the answer from my Angel and we'll be the happiest family in the world. Will we? It's very hard for me as I can't be always with my Child as I have to work much. David! I value your letters very high. I want to continue our correspondence as I see much in common. It's very inconvenient to ask you of it but I do not have  other choice. I'll be very grateful to you can help me with paying our correspondence. I didn't get my salary for 3 months and live only on my additional work. I can't pay for Internet-cafe services. I have to pay for translator, for number of incoming and coming letters and for hiring the box. All it is extremely expensive for me. If my letters  are necessary for you as well as yours for me and if you value our association, I hope you'll not deny me in help. In my next letters I want to send you more of my with Nikita photos, tell  you of my life and to know of yours, David. I wait for your letters impatiently With Love to you Tanya PS Nikita kisses you too

Tatyana Leufina (Chelyabinsk, Russia)

I am a 33 year old single male with no family. I have been on a few single sites and I was contacted shortly after registering with Matchmaker.com. At first it was nice and very romantic to have someone so attractive been so open and willing to correspond. Now don't get me wrong, I am not completely hopeless with women but the more I thought about such a beautiful women getting so attached so quick made me suspicious. I checked your site and a few more and drew a blank. Then I found an anti scam site, http://www.russian-scam.org/, that had her picture and a different name and town. Tatyana Kuznetcova, Irkutsk, Russia and email tanya_9999@pochtamt.ru. At that time she had not asked for any money and I was pretty happy with the correspondence. I wanted to believe her so I did. I am not stupid though and checked on the costs and laws associated with these types of relationships. She was not what she led me to believe, here are some letters and photos. 

Letter 1

Hello my new friend Lincoln. You would know how many pleasures to me brought that you have answered me! Now I understand, that people in your country really responsible !I very liked your the image! I directly would like to learn more about you to learn your interests as you live as you work. I am very glad to have such friend, as you. I in life very cheerful person and at me very responsible work as I already spoke, I work to help the bookkeeper, and I not in what a case should not make a mistake, both in work and in life I not less responsible person, I think, that the person should concerns to associates as wants that to it concerned. In my life was a lot of pleasure, but besides it is pleasure always stood on a number with more sad events. I never was for the husband and I have no children, but I very much would like them to have, but from the person with whom our love would be mutual and that the child anything did not require. The main features of human character I think Sincerity, kindness, politeness and as I think, that the person it is necessary should be the respectable citizen with love to the country. I very much frequently see young pairs, I see as they are happy, I sincerely am glad for them, but thus I remain itself the person whom not loved At me when that was one friend, but it is little bit sad history, I was possible shall tell to you about it little bit later. I as like to be on a nature, there I feel quieter. As other my hobby is domestic animals and in particular as I already spoke you my cat Murka. On it I also shall finish the letter to you, and with impatience I shall look forward to hearing. Your new friend from Russia, Tanya. mailto:tanya729@yandex.ru These letters went on for sometime and we exchanged a lot of information until she asked for money. 

Money request 

Hi my dear Lincoln. I was very glad when I read your letter I am very glad that you want the same way as I. Right after I got your letter I have gone to agency and have learned more in detail that is necessary for me. Really, I have considered correctly, it is necessary for me still near 1380 USD. In total, on the visa, documents and the ickets it is necessary for me about 1800 $. I have 450 $. Therefore I ask you to transfer me 1380 $. If you may pay everything it would be good. I shall leave money which I have to the sister. She requires them. But if it not in your opportunities, is not necessary to do it. If you will make it at the Saturday I can begin registration of the visa and documents and to book a tickets at the Tuesday. If everything will be ok I can fly to you in the middle of next month. I can't wait when this time come! I want to hold you in my arms and say you I LOVE YOU!!! Oh my dear the time goes slowly without you..

So to me have explained in branch Western of my city. My data for translation:  Russian Federation, Chelyabinsk, 465000, Ivana Kirlia street 20,flat 1. Leufina Tatyana.  Forever yours Tanya 

After this letter I informed her of the scam site and her photo and this is her response. 

Dear of your letter I have understood that you do not trust me. Why? If on this site there are my photos it yet about what does not speak. In Russia many people would deceive American people what to receive from them money they do it by different ways. Probably they have stolen my photos from the Internet of cafe. I do not know it. I now sit and I write this letter with tears on eyes. You have hurted me very much. You do not trust me. I am not guilty in that that my photos are sent with other people. If you worry only for the money may not send them to me. I in one letter was not interested in your salary. Your money are not necessary for me. I really loved you. It is very a pity to me that you speak to me by such bad words. I do not think myself guilty of for that that my photo is on the other site. P.S Linc I loved you I trusted you on 100 %, it is not very a pity to me that you may answer me with reciprocity. 

Some of the photos get a little risky but I have attached most of the others. Please inform as many people as possible about her and I hope she is stopped. Sincerely, Lincoln Godfrey

Zhanna Myasintseva (Tolyatti, Russia)

I have been scammed by a Russian scam artist,claiming to be a blonde haired,5'8", 125 lbs., 31 year old lady, by the name of Zhanna Myasintseva. Her "so called" home address is:  14 Kosmonavtov Bulvar 310 Tolyatti,Russia 445044 This "so called" Zhanna, scammed me out of $1,161.70, for her visa and plane ticket. I was looking on other russian scam sites (https://www.russian-scam.org/), and have found out that the other names "she" goes by are; Natalya/Natasha Komarova, I noticed that it was her from the picture that was posted on the site. AFTER I SENT THE MONEY TO "HER" by Western Union. The e-mail address that "Zhanna" wrote me from was beauty_zh@rbcmail.ru . The last e-mail I got from her I traced back to the Moscow Internet Cafe "The Matrix". Please post this information so no one else gets scammed.
