Hello Kevin. Thank you very much that your writing to me. I'm very glad to get your letter. Today work all my day in the music school and now in the evening I write to you from the Internet Cafe. I teach music only the first year. But for ???????????? time I have fallen in love with the work. I have no brothers and sisters we with mum live one. At leisure I like to watch TV and  To walk on park. We with mum in Kazan have moved not for a long time Earlier we lived in a small village. I want tell to you about my dream. You know I'm very serious in my intention, I'm dreaming to create a strong and a happy family with my own man. A woman can't live without a man. I know that now many women think that to be independent is better, that men have too much power in the world and women must take it from them and to live the way they want. I feel that they are wrong in something. The life of a single woman is not that much fun as they want to represent it. She lacks something. When she cares about her family it brings her joy and inspiration to life. And as for me, I want a simple happiness - I want to get up in the morning and to smile to my beloved man, to say how much I love him. I want to kiss his eyes and to help him to believe in this morning and in this new day. I want to hear the voices of our children - full of happiness and laughter. I've never had it in my life before - I think that I should belong to the only one man in the world............................. But before we should learn each other better. I wait with impatience of your letters.  Your friend Lida  P.S. Today I wanted, send to you a more my photos, but I have forgotten a disk with my photos in my house. In Internet Cafe I don't have my photos. Sorry... I will send to you my new photos in the next letter.

This concert was really important for me and for my music group. I very much like music. My music group - children which I training for a concert has received 1 place in competition. We have presents and diploma. I and my group be very very happy. But all time in it concert I think about you and your letters. I was not absolutely happy because thought about you. I miss about your letters and you. Each day I think about you about us about our relationship.  The dialogue with you brings pleasure in my life. I think that we become more good friend and may be more. It is my dream. Yesterday I went to the cinema with my girlfriend Masha. We see the film - Chicago. It is very fascinating fantastic and interesting film. It is liked to me. I was admiration of camera work and scenario. Usually my favorite films are the novels about love but this film exception. We at a cinema have new system of a sound Dolby Digital it creates effect presence in the stage emotions of film. It was interesting and I had many good impressions. But strongest was from that as I have seen the man and woman they were in love. They sat on back line and have kiss. I will be very happy from that idea. I for one minute have presented as I and you when to the in cinema too. >From these ideas I became slightly sad because you are very far from me and I can not see you now I can not talk to you in real time to look in your eyes. It well be only my dream. But I want that this dream became a reality. You like cinema? I like cinema very much. Excuse me for long letter but I had many emotions and impression from this day.

My dearest Kevin!!!!!! I'm fine thank you, and very glad to get your letter! And how are you? Your letter is very special for me, reading it I start feeling that you are looking for the same as me. Yes I very much love a card. In weekends I sit at home I do work on the house or I walk on park. I shall try how many will learn to cost tickets aboard the plane. My dream I shall visit you to use the best efforts what to see you. I want to do all with you of that that you ask me. I dream beautifully to spend with you time. I feel that I shall be very happy with you. I shall prepare you for any food which you like. I shall be simply happy when you will speak (as is tasty) I was touched with your letters when I read them at me  There were wet eyes I not could constrain the emotions. I now can tell that I have fallen in love with you  I constantly think of you you constantly in my dreams. As though I wanted to run aboard the plane and to fly to you,  I want to be dissolved in your embraces. When I write you the letter I forget all on light,  I pass in the world which I earlier never was. It is the world of my secret dreams. You feel a little bit lonely, and that's makes sad. I know it, because I feel the same. I have dream, I want to know what does it mean to love and to be loved. I think that it's the greatest feeling in the world. It's the only thing which can make a person happy. And I need it. I think that when you are alone, when you don't have your sweetheart, your life is not so bright and seems to be a little bit empty. Even to enjoy the things you like is much more pleasant when you do it with your loving person, I know that you will agree with me. What can I tell you about myself, I'm an active person, I think that we live just once and we should try to get everything that the life has to give us. I think that it's better to do something then just to sit,waiting that somebody will bring it to you. I like romance and I want it to be an unseparated part of my married life. I'll try to make my future husband the happiest man in the world. In me he'll always find a necessary support and understanding love and care. I understand that life is not only a holiday but I want to share everything with my dearest man.   Your good friend Lida.

To me on work have told that I shall have holiday May, 1 I shall have a rest all month. So I could visit you in May but I do not know where to take money to trip. My salary small and I have no accumulation of money I yet I do not know that to me to do. Something tells me that finally I met the man I was looking for. I can't explain it. I just feel it. When I come to the Internet cafe and open my mailbox my heart starts beating faster, because I'll see your letter. It's always such a pleasure to read it! I like sharing my thoughts and views with you, and I'm so happy when I see your understanding and support. I want this our relations to continue and maybe step by step, word by word, will come to the real LOVE???  Dear Kevin I ask you to share your feelings with me, I'd like to know maybe your heart also tells you something?

Tatiana Botvinkina (Kremenchug, Ukraine)

I am single, 50 years old, seeking soulmate in Russia, but I've been there once or twice so I know a "few" things about the tricks and scams and red-flags. I believe she initiated contact with me through Absolute Agency. A provocative picture appeared in the first letter. By the 2nd letters she was calling me "darling" and "honey" and asking me what I would do to a woman like her, but you know 'internet is so expensive to me, can you help'?  Actually, little Tanya, what I'd like to do is turn you over my knee, you little minx, but I'm happy just to report you to the blacklist...I played along, acting like, oh I know it costs much, how is the best way to help you? By the 3rd letter, she was saying you know I heard from other girl you can send money Western Union and then explained exactly how to do this. She didn't get the money. I wrote back and said hmmm your child Liza looks just like Nikita, but that's a Tatyana Botvinkina in the same town, must be a co-incidence... I doubt I'll hear from her again (this is what was mentioned on the blackist about her, no one else got her photo though)

I saw from this website she also used the name Tatyana Botvinkina, but same town and city, although she appears to have moved apartments. Address is in letter #3 below Her three letters and several photos are attached below. if I've saved one other man from this little minx, it's worth it!! I did edit out my name in the letters below. I'm sure if you see this in your mailbox, it will have your name instead of mine!

Letter #1:

My Darling ---! You even cant imagine what a pleasure it was for me to see your letter in my  mail box.  It looks like an answer for all my prayers and wishes to find somebody who can understand me and need the same in this life. Love, tenderness, caring, happy  family.  Is this You, my Dear? Do you believe in destiny, in real life?? I do ! I believe in great love between two peoples.  It doesn't matter how far peoples  live from each other, even if they live in different parts of the world.  I feel that somewhere in this vast world there is my  soulmate, the man who will make me happy with him love and care. I am optimist  by nature and in everything I see something beautiful and I enjoy every moment of my life.  If you are tired of loneliness, I am here for you, ---! I am your dream ! Life  is so wonderful and full of surprises ! It would be so nice to share it with someone kind and a positive person. For me, the most important things in a man is him inner soul and him attitude to me, but not hes physical appearance. I am quite sociable by nature, but calm by character, with a high sense of humour. I have a lot of things in my life that make me happy. But in order to  be completely happy, I need the other half person in my life. Only the very special man, who will fill that part of my soul which is still empty. Im 27, 170 sm. high ,weigh 47 kg. I have a little angel, it is 3 years old.  Sometimes my kid asks me when we will have the father and I always answer to her that very soon father will come, we should just wait for a while. All children are small angels in our earth, and we all love them very  much. I love my angel very much too. I work as a teacher in the cindergarten. I like reading books, kino, painting, staying in nature, making sport (skiing, badminton, hiking and so on), and and and. I have so many different interest and I am always open for new things. Something what is very important to me is music. All kind of music, depending on the situation - for dancing, dreaming, relaxing or whatever. I like people with own opinions, powerful and not saying always yes, I prefer frank and straight conversation.  Darling, if you have the same point of view about life, and if you like my letter, I will wait for your letter. Please tell me more about your life, your hobbies and dreams I will wait for your letter. I would like to ask you, ---, to send me your photo though appearance is not important for me. The main thing is his inner life and his soul. I wish you to have a good day. Tanya and Liza Write me only to my e-mail: fly_with_me@mail.ru
P.S.I live in Ukraine and You know I'm afraid it will make you upset. I have never visited other places pin my life. This some mistake in my ad. But I like your country very much 

Letter #2

My Dear ---! I'm very glad to get your letter. I'm happy to think that we have the same points of view. Thanks for your picture. I liked it very much. May be I'll tell a little of my inner world, which is very important for me as against appearance. My philosophy is that I live my life the best I  possibly can and take care of those for whom  I care.I treat all people with consideration except those who hurt the ones I  love,these people I never forgive as I consider it my duty to protect those I  love.When I love someone I do it with all my heart and soul.I am a very  passionate person and I gain much happiness from loving  and pleasing the man who shares my life.Now I look for the one special  person to spend the rest of my life,loving and caring for.  I wish I could think of more to tell you, ---, and I am sure there is much you  would like to know so please ask me and I will tell you anything. Honey, when is your birthday? What colour are your eyes as I cannot see in the  photo. My birthday is 5 of february. Tell me all the things you enjoy and would like to do with the woman you find. I go to Internet-cafe to send you letters, ---, here I use computer, Internet and translator. These services cost much and it's not easy to pay it. I'd be grateful to you if you'd help me pay our correspondence. It'd be very pleasant and important for me to feel your care. About your question about children. Now its very hard for me to grow up the   hild by myself. And I just dont think to have many of them. Of course I like  children very much. But Im sure all decisions must be taken together in a really happy, friendly, and loving family. And no matter what the decision is, itll always be common, desired and thought out.  Sometimes I and Liza walk in park after taking him from kindergarten. We walk together and speak of our affairs. Butit's sometimes dull that there's no the third person, whom Liza could call Father". I hope much that it'll change somewhere and we'll be together with our Father. I want to hope that you'll be this person. What do you think of it, ---? I and Liza kiss you We wait for your letter much Tanya and Liza 

I acted stupid and asked her to explain just how I could send her money?

Letter #3 Arrived....

Darling ---! I'm glad to get your letter. Now I feel that we with Liza are not alone. Thank you for your understanding and willing to help me to pay correspondence. I'm very grateful to you for it. I don't know what to tell you, I want about pleasant and good so that it'd raise you mood and help to live. Your letters help me much and I read them every day with great pleasure. There's much dullness in our life. But I hope that all will change to the better, As you appeared in our life. You mean much for me, ---. And you're the best I with Liza have. I want to love you both and to live only for you. It's my greatest wish and striving. I want us to be together, to be glad each each other every day and ther'd be nothing more beautiful in the world! I want it so much! I think once it'll happen. We deserved it and waited for it so long time. I want to tell you, ---, why I'm not seack man in Ukraine. And why I made conclusion to write you. Of course, the economical situation in Ukraine is bad.  It's very hard to live here. But even this is not main condition. I afraid to  live here from our people. It's terrible for me to look at they, what they have become. Yes, perhaps, it's from economy of our country. But I think that we  may not live such way. Our man can't love woman and take care of she. They  can't be trustful and rightly. Women give for men all herself, and what she  take back? It's very sorrowfully and it's big tragedy for many woman in Ukraine. Our women want only one  to have good family, to love and be loving by one man.  Our men see it. Time goes out, and they get used to it. It become a few for  they. They think, that they have it, it nowhere to go and it'll be so always.  Yes, and women suffer it many time such relation to them. It's always a pity child for women. Because after breaking off with such man, a child stays without father. Men finds another woman, forgetting about his leaving child. It's a terrible situation. And I have understand this, because I by myself was in role of such women. Now my ex  husband doesn't need his child. And Liza has realized it and not very miss he. The more painfully, when you are  disappointed, it's when your child is disappointed. That is why I don't want to seek another man in Ukraine. Dear! If you really want to help me with a payment of our  correspondence, I will be thankful to you. ---, I asked from the girl who also goes to the internet club and is in correspondence with a man for a long time.  I asked  her if she knew how to make a transfer. The fact is that I have never  faced this.  And I don't know if there are any companies who make money transfers from  abroad to Ukraine.  And she explained me that there is a system called "Western Union".She told me  that to make a transfer with this system you have to know my full name and address. She also told that when you make a transfer they'll tell you a code with 10 numbers. And if everything ok and you'll really be able to help me try not to forget to send me the code and your full name in your next letter. Because another way I won't get the money.  My full name  Tatiana Botvinkina,  town of Kremenchug, Poltava area, Ukraine.My adddress - Pervomayskaya str.,  7-68. Our correspondence cost about 100$ in month. Next letter you must sent me  cod transfer, your full name and sum. Darling! I sincerely hope that we with Liza will be so important in your life as you're in ours. That we'll be together once and forever and you'll need it forever as we. I want us to make you happy as well as you. Let it be just letters now only. But they mean so mush for me and keep me warm. I want you to know that I need nobody except you. and I'm not interested in other men. Now it's important that it'll be OK with us, ---. I kiss you and wish all the best With Love Tanya
 


Tatyana Biryukova

This person contacted me thru friendsearch.com on 2/2/2003 the e-mail address that was used for the initial contact was nadomne@front.ru but all the other correspondence was thru beautywinter@rambler.ru  So I fortunately found out before things got to far down the road and any loss of money. I was sort of worried when after three or so e-mails she started saying that she loved me and couldn't live without me and I would respond back but she wouldn't seem to get what I was saying or seemed to ignore what I was saying. After being scammed once I tend to take things a lot slower and do some checking up on the women who contact me from Eastern Europe, well fortunately I did find some pictures of her here and after checking some of the letters I found a common pattern between what I found here and what she was sending me. I'll let you be the judge. At least this time I just lost time and not money. :) I did send one last message stating that I knew she was a scammer and that I will be reporting her to several anti scam web sites. She all most had me, seemed to have so much in common, scary. 

So onto the letters,

Dear briguy68b, Hello, how are you doing? Nice to meet you here on www.friendsearch.com!!! I'm Tatyana from Russia, I'm 30 y.o., and I stand 5"8', and my weight is 125 lbs. I have seen your profile, and I have decided to write you. I write you my message because I am searching for my true love! I have been trying but so far I have been unlucky so I decided to try my luck here. I am very sensible and affectionate. I can describe myself as loyal, caring, intelligent, sincere and a very understanding person. My dream is to find a person who knows how to love and and be loved. I feel I have so much love to give and so much inside my heart to share. If you feel the same way as I do contact me on my e-mail beautywinter@rambler.ru I would like to send you my picture if you want, I hope to hear from you soon. Good bless you! Take care, yours new russian friend, Tatyana

Universal Agency. Alena (Lugansk/Donetz )

I´m a single man without kids and selfemployed I contacted this girl, afther I saw her ADD at "heart 2 heart".  I wanted to know her and my intention was for us to get together. I yust sent here a letter. She (?) wrotte me back, telling me how much she was looking out to create a happy family and those things. I answer her, telling her about me and my dreams, and asking here to tell me about her, her address, enz... All I recived back where the same word as in the firs letter and a request to help her directly with translation costs. Of course I did not sent her a cent because I had read obout scam and felt this could be one more, and because her letters seamed empty to me, I had the idea they where written perhaps by a different person, not her. Perhaps she even díd not know nothing about it, and if she did she was playing with me. So I requested to the agency about that. This was the answer !! Spanish were always idiots, sorry. one more proof dear and the next: F**k off !! So guys: If you want to give it a go with the girl of this agency I would watch my money.

First letter:

Hello dear XXXX, My name is Alena or Lena this is a nice way of calling me! I was very glad having received your letter XXXX. Thank you for writing to me from far away Spain XXXX, I am very happy having received your message XXXX. I am also looking for long term serious relations in my life XXXX. XXXX, please, find attached my photos that I am very happy to be sending to you!  Ok, like I said, my name is Lena/Alena :) I am 22 years already. I am still a student but I do have a lot of dreams :) I have recently won the college cooking championship and I am very happy about it! I forgot to mention that my major in College is cooking, I love making nice and tasty food, making people around happy with it! I have always dreamed of becoming a professional in this! And I am sure I'll be that way... Of course, this is not my only dream, I also want to be happy and to be smiling always! I want to be next to a person who is willing to share with me all the secrets of his heart, to be kind and nice to me always no matter what and I will be doing the same to him too.. This why I came to this Dating Agency that is helping me with everything, I still hope that my dreams will come true XXXX. What do you think? From your new friend, Alena

Money request: Watch this!! The second letters we exchanged and she already know about the potential of our relation :-)

Hi my dear XXXX, It was a great joy for me to receive a letter from you! Dear XXXX, let me thank you for your very warm and tender words yes, I will be happy to come to Spain but I think all it takes is just learn more of each other XXXX.. I, myself, looking for serious relations and further afterwards and I am ready to relocate for my love and future family.. I am eager to keep talking with you XXXX! And you?  Dear XXXX, I know you might have some questions about who is helping me with all this: I will tell you right away that I am a member of a Ukraine Dating Club or an Agency that is helping me. I really appreciate them greatly, without them it would be very hard for us to meet, if not impossible! They do have a lot of experience in helping the lonely people: our last lady and her husband who just married in the US and are happily living for a couple of months already have just sent here "Thank You" letter where they are very thankful for all the efforts that were put to bring them together! It was a big job but two hearts are together now. Is not it great? Is not it worth it? Is not it an example to follow..? Dear XXXX, I have talked with our Manager and asked her to explain to you about how to join us for our further correspondence and our future relations. I feel that our relations have a big future potential. Do you want this XXXX? All is takes is just a little trying and patience! XXXX, please, trust me and know for sure that none here wants to hurt you but rather to help you and me! Your new friend.. Alena
