Thank you, I saw the woman I was writing on your site, and you saved me from sending that scammer money! Her name is Lidiya, and she sent me the exact letters sent to a guy named Kevin. It was on you page 174 updates 23 April 2003 page 2. When she was so brazen to ask for so much money, I thought I would check it out! I am glad I did! Thank you so much, I hope this person is put behind bars and soon! Thanks again, Les

Ina Adamova (Minsk, Belarus)

My name is Deon , age 45 and divorced. I received a warm and inviting letter from this very young and pretty lady. She contacted me through a singles site called Christian café. Her English was poor and I thought that maybe she had mixed me up with someone else. I replied expecting that she would review my profile and realize her mistake. A second and third letter came and it was obvious that she was not genuine. I played along with it waiting for the money issue to arise. By the third letter, her English had greatly improved and the style of writing was changing. It was a poor and pathetic carry on and I was no longer amused. I can't help but think how damaging it could be to someone with an unsuspecting nature to be loured into a false love like these ladies (putting it nicely) present. 

The last letter is as follows (letter number 4).

My dearest Deon, Since receiving our last letters, I have had time to think.   You are definitely very special man, and I would never like to loose you , not for everything in the world . Yes, I love poetry.I love everything what is romatic and beautiful. My siter with her family also live in Minsk ,her name is Nelli, she is 1 year older me, she is a Doctor too, her husband is Kolia , he is a businessman, their kids : Gleb- 8 y.old, and Matvey - 6 month old. We have very close relationship with her and with my . My mum is a ex-teacher my father passed away 2 years ago, my parents have always been in love and I always had the very good example how to live my life. We have very good understanding , meet very often , help each other and enjoy life together. we all live in Minsk and meet quite often. Ye, I hold Christian faith as an important part of my life. One great thing about us, we come from different cultures and have a great opportunity to learn new, and I am sure, exciting things about one another.  I do not know what your expectations are in a woman or in life as such. I don't want to disappoint you, whether it be in appearance or character or nature. I am just a simple russian Doctor, who had so many beautiful compliments from you , which I appreciate so much and will never forget ! There is nothing more I would love to do than to love you for the rest of my life and to share all the world with you, but you have to be certain that I am what you want also.  It would be a dream, a fairy tale, that we fall in love so deeply that upon meeting, there is the automatic connection that two souls merging as one has. I can imagine that one day,I meet you at the airport and we fall into each others arms and kiss, in front of everyone, to show our love. It is easy to day dream such things. That would be great !  What do you think ? I think I should give you my telephone number, feel free to call me any time.  + 375 296 102310 We have to start doing something to make our relationship less virtual and more natural. Yes?  My love comes over the miles to you, to help warm you on the cold nights alone and I wait impatiently for your next letter. Wish you a wonderful time. Ina. My address is : Ina Adamova, Kirova 3-71, Minsk 220050, Belarus gerza@mail.ru


Irina Mosunova/Natalya Butakova  (Omsk, Russia)

I came across your web site just a little bit too late! I have been in constant contact with a young woman for about three months. Everything seemed on the up and up. Our relationship seemed to grow closer with each letter. I was actually happy with the progress. Now I feel like the most ignorant man alive. I worked to bring this woman to the United States on a permanent basis. I went as far as calling airlines to check the prices of tickets. It seemed that everything that she told my was the truth. Well, I have to admit that I didn't research quite enough. If I had it might have saved me $1,632.00. Yes thats right... I am the idiot that lost almost two thousand dollars. I can earn back the money. It is just the fact that I was using a foolish heart to think with instead of my head. I would like for all who read this to compare my letters to those of a young man named Darryl. Well, Darryl, It looks like I spent enough money for the both of us. I am sending all of the photos that were sent to me. Please note a third name in letter 18. 

Initial contact letter:

Hello! I have seen your add and I think that you are a very interesting person. So I decided to use the chance to get to know you. Hope I will be lucky:-) I don't think that the age and appearance is so important though I am rather pretty. The most important what is inside you and how do you feel about the life. I know this life from many sides and I am rather mature already to know how to make a man happy. I don't know if you answer me or not. But why not to try? I will regret if not to try. I think we should use every chance to find our happiness. Life is too short to use it only for thinking and dreaming. I try to act but not only to dream. So here I am:-) I will not write you much about myself now. I will just give you an idea of who I am. I work to earn for my living. I have a higher education and I am rather intelligent. The only one I miss is a beloved person and I want to have a family . I have really many interests:music, reading, books, movies, good conversations, sports and many other things which make the life wonderful. I like beautiful clothes and things. I can't say that I have many friends. I know many people but I am very picky about the friends. Friend is a person who will be with me all my life. And I am lucky to have some really good friends. But I am very sociable that is why there are many people I have good relations with. I am rather independent. And work to be able to pay for the things I want to have in my life. In some words I can tell you, that I enjoy the life as it is and I love the life with all it's aspects. I am very kind ( I am not boasting:-) ) which hurts me often. 

Letter 2: 

Hi Rick, I was very glad to get your reply. I came to the Internet cafe just to find some information and was looking through the sites. And suddenly my eye fell down on you. I don't remember what kind of site it was. I liked very much what I have seen and decided to write you. So if it is interesting for you, I believe I should tell you now more about myself. Thank for a photo very much was pleasant to me!! Well, my name is Irina, I am 29 years old. I have blue eyes and fair hair. But I try to change my image often as I always like to be different. I live in Russia, the city of Omsk. It in Western Siberia. It is not big but very green and cosy. If you come here, you will find an ensemble of different architecture here  The e are also theatres, cinemas, cafes and many other cute places. I work as a waitress in the local bar. Though I have a higher education, I can't find job on my profession that is why I work there to be more independent. My parents are on pension already. But pensions are so small that my father works part time as a watchman in the car park. And now I would like to ask you some questions. Tell me more about yourself, please, everything you want me to know. Where do you live, what place do you work in? Tell me about your parents. Everything you write me will be interesting for me. Unfortunately, I don't have a phone and computer that is why I use the service of the Internet cafe that is why sometimes there could be delays in my replies. Hope you understand me. Waiting for your reply. Irina.

Letter 5

Hello, dear Rick!!! I am so happy to hear from you again. I feel so tired from the life here and you are the only one who warms me and gives me strength to live. The life in Russia is so difficult and though we got used to it sometimes I feel so unsafe and tired from everything. But I am lucky one to get $65 a month. This money allows me to go to the Internet cafe to send you letters and to get yours. It is the only one thing in my life which makes me happy. I miss so much being without your letters. And the internet-cafe is the onlyone place where I can communicate with you. Unfortunately, I can't afford myself to buy a computer as it costs for about 700-1000 dollars and it is too much for me. Not so many people in our town can afford to buy a computer. Well, enough complaining…… May be you will tell me about the life in your country, it will cheer me up. ~ Also I would like to have your mail address for some case. And this is mine. 32-12 Motornaya Str., Omsk, 644109, Russia to Irina Mosunova. May be you will need it. I want to hear from you so much………….Yours Irina.

Letter 9

Hi, sunshine Rick!!! It is Spring here. It to become warmly here and the sun to shine more. I feel so sad without you here. I have such a strange feeling inside. I miss you badly. I need you so much. It is not just words. It is what I feel now. I think about you all the time. I have never had this before. I haven't seen you yet but I already can't live without you, your letters. I want to touch you, to feel your warmth and tenderness…… I love you…… I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you are not scared. It is strange for me too. But I can assure you that it is true. I love you and the thought about you makes me so happy. I want to be with you so much. I want to feel you with every part of my body, I want to feel the tender touch of your hands, to feel the smell of your body, just to know that I belong to you and that you are mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am full of desire and I want you as a man, I want to be your wife, your friend, your soul mate, your lover, your dream. I understand now perfectly that you are the man of my dream. I was searching for you all my life and now I have found you and I am not going to lose you. We will be happy together, I will do everything for it. I am strong enough to overcome all the difficulties and hardships which are between us. There is no barrier which can stop me. My love will overcome all the difficulties on our way to each another. We will be together, believe me. I will cross the ocean just to be with you. I don't need anything else - I just want to see you, to look into your eyes, to kiss your lips, to touch your strong body.  My love will be enough for two of us. Do you know the song of Bon Jove " Always". This song is about my feelings to you. I am afraid to ask you this ……but what do you feel? It is very important for me. It is better to know the bitter true for me than the sweet lie……So, please, tell me about your feelings. ~ And I think it is already time for us to decide what to do……I could come to you and I think it is the best variant for us. Life in Russia is very dangerous. I don't want you to have any problems here. You never know what will be the other minute here. I hate it…… So, I will get to know everything about visa and how I could come to you. And I will write you about it in my next letter. Loving you Irina. 

Letter 10 

Hi, honey Rick! It is amazing to get your letter again!!!!!!!!!!!!! In hands I to hold a gift for you, my love! I miss you badly, honey. I love you so much. I can't be apart from you, it is so hard. You are my life, I want to hug you so much, to feel your warmth, to look into your eyes, to feel myself happy and safe near you. I am sure everything will be Ok and the destiny will work for us and we will be happy together. I often think about us and try to imagine our life together. Sometimes I feel you so near and close to me. I even feel you on the distance. I feel when you are in a high spirit and when you are sad. I am happy when you are happy. I want to be with you so much and I though about the ways for us to be together. So I tried to do something for us and decided to go to the Embassy to check what I need to come to you. So, to come to your country I need to make some paper work and to get visa. It will take some time, of course, and to pick up many documents from my side. But I will do everything which depends from me. As for visa, there is a Fiancee visa but it is not the best variant for us as we haven't met yet and we don't have the documents and pictures to improve our meeting. They will not allow me to go there as a guest but it is possible to get a Labour or visa for Work there. I can get this kind of visa very easy and quickly now. But there is one thing which upsets me very much. You see, I need to pay for getting visa. And you know that my salary is too small for it. I don't want to complain but you know that I have a difficult financial situation here. I have a great desire to come to you, to see you at last and only money separate us from each another. I love you so much, honey and I don't want to lose you. Nobody can help me with it. Of course, I could ask my Mom to help me but she doesn't have such money though she would like to help us. I am honest and sincere with you. I hope that you understand me and that you will do it for me. I already gave some papers to them and they made a file for me. All I need now is to pay them money. So it will be, $45 for visa and $40 for registration, also I need to pay for medical exams - it will be $50, $40 for the interview, and I need to get a foreign passport, it will cost for about $50 and for some another expenses I may have. So in general I will need for about $225. If you want to help me, my love I have found out that You have to sendthe money by Western Union or MoneyGram. You need to send me your full name, address, amount of money and the control number. You need my full name and address, so here it is: 32-12 Motornaya Str., Omsk, 644109, Russia to Irina Mosunova. I could find such information, love mine. I really hope that you understand my situation. I want to see you very much but without your help I can't do it just because I don't have such money. Money is nothing but they help to overcome all the difficulties on our way to each another. Sorry, dear, if it upsets you. I just think that we need to trust each another and to share everything. Hope that you agree with me. Just imagine that in short time we could be together. And there is only one problem now which can be solved with your help, dear. I love you so much, you are the best in my life and our meeting could be the happiest event for us. Miss you badly honey and waiting impatiently for your soon reply. Yours forever Irina. P.S. Trust me and in some days I shall be with you. Pictures were taken by my mum, it she has helped me to make it.

Irina Tamilina, (Kharkov Ukraine) NOW Iryna Tamilina, (Arizona, USA)

My name is Ed, 66, retired, divorced white male with 2 adult children. I am now living in Arizona, USA. I first found her on June 4, 2002 in Elena's Weekly Ladies Catalog, issue 122. She was number 7766. Now, number 4307 on Elena's Models Internet site. (John at AFA will love this): Her profile had been posted since September, 2001 on the AFA site, loveme.com, as number 34201. Shealso  has profiles on Kiss.com and American Singles.com. She has two email addresses; itamilina@rambler.ru and itamilina@hotmail.com.  She stated, she was a trained and experienced Civil Engineer, had a good job working as an engineer with a construction company in Kharkov. She stated she lived in a large, modern, 2 bedroom apartment in a safe district in Northwest Kharkov. I first sen  her email on June 5, 2002 and she replied. She spoke good English. We continued with email and many telephone calls. Most calls about 1 hour, (usually twice on Saturdays and Sundays). In a telephone conversation, on or about June 29 or 30, 2002, she mentioned she had not been paid this week. It was only mentioned in passing and I assumed she would be paid the following Monday. About June 22, 2002, she no longer went to the Internet Cafe each day as previously. Her email became shorter, without much to say. About July 3, 2002 I found her on Kiss.com with a paid membership. Later I found her previous membership had expired about June 22, 2002. She denied this, stating she had NEVER been on Kiss.com before July 3, 2002. We continued to discuss her lack of salary, lack of food but now a computer at her home and a paid $25 membership to Kiss.com She stated the cost equivalent to $1.25 to receive my email, print them and answer me. Also, she had additional pictures scanned at my request. I estimated she had spent approximately $30 - $40 for email during the first month.  Feeling sorry she was "starving" I sent $100 through WU. On July 11, 2002 I discontinued writing.  During mid October, 2002 we exchanged a few "Hi, how are you" type notes through Kiss.com. Late October, 2002 w  started writing again. In our early June correspondence, she advised, she had won the first drawing in the "Green Card Lottery" for the DV2003 drawing. Approximately 4,400 "Green Cards" were to be issued to Ukrainian Citizens during FY 2003 of the US Government, starting in October 2002. At that time we did not know if her number for a interview would fall within the allocated number of available Visas.  In email and phone calls, she seemed like a wonderful and serious lady for a potential wife and we had started talking about the possibility of a Fiancee Visa.  We started planning to meet in Ukraine during the middle of December, 2002. About November 9, 2002, I found her on the "Russian Black List"! (Not Elena's but one of the others). She stated a French fellow had sent 100 Euro's to obtain a visitors visa to France. She stated, he later became "explicit" and she cancelled the idea of visiting him. She contacted the webmaster at the Blacklist site and convinced them to remove her name! In a telephone conversation, about November 10, 2002, we were discussing having her required documents for a Faincee visa copied and translated into English. She mentioned the cost for preparing the documents and the she needed a new winter coat.  November 11, 2002, I sent her $200 through WU for documents and coat! We continued planning our trip to Kiev. I obtained my Ukraine visitors visa, rented an apartment in Kiev and made my airline reservations to arrive at 14:00 on December 12, 2002. November 23, 2002, I sent an additional $250 travelling money for her Kiev trip. Either a evening flight or the Kharkov - Kiev express train plus money for meals and return to Kharkov, in case my airline flights were grounded, cancelled or I missed a connection and would not arrive on time. (After 9/11 anything unexpectedly may happen). November 25, 2002 she sent email, telling me she had notification for her interview at the Warsaw Embassy for her Green Card visa on January 16, 2003. This was NO guarantee she would receive a Green Card Visa, only the interview was scheduled. We decided to continue the paper work for a Fiancee visa, just in case the Green Card visa was not issued, assuming we liked each other.  About November 25, 2002, we were discussing additional needs for her interview at the Warsaw Embassy. She stated she would need $8,000, cash! This sent cold chills down my back. However, a few hours later I received a email stating it would not be necessary!  As scheduled, I arrived in Kiev on December 12, 2002 and met her train at 22:15.  We scheduled her medical examination, X-rays and vaccinations at the Gas Workers Clinic in Kiev for December 16 or 17, 2002. That morning, I gave her approximately $200 to $250 cash for the medical tests, vaccinations, taxi fairs and lunch. December 17 or 18, 2002, we purchased her train ticket from Kharkov to Warsaw, leaving the night of January 13, 2003 and arriving in Warsaw about 06:00 on January 15, 2003, the day prior to her interview at the American Embassy in Warsaw. (Possibly we purchased a return ticket to Kharkov, in case the visa was not granted). I don't remember the exact cost but approximately $100 to $175, paid in cash to the courier who delivered the tickets. She departed Kiev about 17:00 on December 22, 2002 on the express train to Kharkov. During the time in Kiev I became totally, madly, 100% in love!!! She was the most wonderful woman I had met in more than 30 years. (As I later found, she was also the BEST ACTRESS - - EVER encountered)!!! Prior to departure I gave her approximately $800 to $1000 cash for expenses she would incur going to Warsaw. This is the approximate breakdown: Embassy interview and fee for Green Card visa, $425. Two days hotel in Warsaw, $150. Taxi from train in Warsaw to hotel, from hotel to American Embassy and return and from hotel to Warsaw airport, $100 and meals while travelling and in Warsaw, $200 to $300. December 24 through 26, 2002, we had many telephone conversations about her interview and trip to the USA. She wanted to delay her departure from Warsaw by 1 day, in case the pictures were not acceptable, possibly the X-rays were not acceptable or additional vaccinations were needed. She stated, the agency helping her in Kharkov advised, she would need a "Affidavit of Support" on INS from-134. (This is common in Fiancee visas and for adjustment of status, after the Wedding),  January 2, 2003, I sent the packet,14 pages of financial information by FedEx International Express. $76 (The most expensive letter in my lifetime).  We changed the scheduled so she would leave early Saturday, January 18, 2003 rather than the original plan for Friday. She would arrive in Phoenix about 17:00 on January 18, 2003, (Phoenix time). December 26, 2002 I purchased airline tickets ($814) from Warsaw to London and London direct to Phoenix, Arizona.  Because she wanted to stay the extra day in Warsaw, I was not sure she had adequate money. January 13, 2003, For her, I rented a hotel room, 3 nights in Warsaw $161. January 18, 2003 I met her as she cleared Customs and Immigration in Phoenix, AZ. This was NOT the same lady I had spent 10 days with Kiev!!! In late January, 2003 she wished to learn driving. I spent many hours teaching her.  By mid February she had received her Social Security card and Green Card from the INS. In mid February, 2003 she received her student driving permit in Arizona. Late March, 2003 she wanted "professional" driving lessons. I prepaid 6 lessons, $300. Late March, 2003 she started working. Early April, 2003 she had taken 3 "professional" driving lessons, leaving her a credit of $150. During early April, 2003 she wanted a car, with a automatic transmission. With lack of experience and NO drivers license, I felt it was premature to purchase another vehicle.During the early AM, April 10, 2003 she left. She did not say goodbye or thank you, only a note that we were different and wanted different things in life. Four days later, I delivered the remainder of her cloths, at work. I have talked to her about twice on the telephone, she is well. I have retained the services of an attorney specializing in criminal law who he will guide me in filing criminal charges, both state and Federal. I learned of fraudulent documents she filed in obtaining her visa. She never mentioned having money left. Sometime during March I asked if she had money, she stated, NONE! Anyone encountering her, be careful. She is smart and can be charming when she wants something. She has a lady friend in Kharkov who is an attorney. Together, they are cold, calculating, deliberate and careful. She is especially careful with email. Anyone considering a Russian wife, purchase the Anti-Scam Guide available on this web site. Read it carefully and believe what Elena tells you. I read it long ago but did not follow the advice! If you are seriously looking for a Russian lady, read ALL articles written by Elena on this web site. I have found the are 95%+ correct. Anyone wishing additional information, contact me at: edsm456@hotmail.com

Hi Ed! It is not "Russian game" and I am not cruel at all.I was very serious about you  and our relationship and I was going to meet you in Kiev and even get married  with you if you would wish. But you made me very offended, because I hadn't had  any money even for food and for writing you and you couldn't help me! Sorry,I  don't want a greedy man to be my husband.If you have 800 for calls,you could  find 50 to help me! When I understood that you didn't want to help me,I was  very upset and I asked my girl-friend from Texas to help me and pay for  Kiss-com,which I haven't used before 3 july!I am very upset now...Please don't  write me more.I don't believe you too. Irina http://www.rambler.ru

Ed,how are you today? I am sorry that we misunderstood each other,I didn't know  about so much your bad experiences. I thought that you didn't love me and I didn't want to care about me. But I can feel your love!!! I can't stop thinking  about you. 

Hi Ed! I was waiting for your call yerstaday about 10p.m.,you can see you completely  spoiled me with your calls. I don't believe that you didn't understand me. We don't have a bank's accounts  here and sometimes if the salary is delayed, it is very difficult to make both  ends meet.It is unpleasant thing to be hungry and to be not able even to write  a letter to you.OK, let's finish discussing that unpleasant subject.After all  you mustn,t help me (even if you love me). Please let me know if you want to see me in Kiev or in Kharkov.   *NOTE: Remainder of message removed*  I will be waiting for your call at 10 p.m. my time.I am very sorry that you  still don't understand me. Irina

Hi dear Ed! Thank you again,I got your money today,I am going to save it partly to prepare  myself for our meeting.And I ve' bought some apricots already,it is my favorite  fruit. It is extremely hot here,I would like to be in Alaska or in Subiria  now.The forecast is bad,they say that the heat about 30- 45 degrees C will be  till August 15.Are you going to call me tonight? I would like to hear your  voice.I will be waiting since 9.30 for your call. Irina  

Hi dear "old rock"! How are you today?You sounded very sad last night, I don't want you to be so  sad.I can tellyou some jokes every day if you wish. I feel very close to you and I like you.We have related souls and we match each  other. Do you know that you are my best friend now? And I believe you will  become much more for me after our meeting.Though I realize you may not like me  when you see me,I know that is possible, even though you think,that it is only  a small %. I think we both have a right to continue our correspondence with  someone else untill our meeting,untill we would make our decision about our  future. I am very determined to see you and I will wait patiently for your  coming. I understand that you are angry with me now,but I am sure everything  will change soon.Sometimes it is so difficult to put into words all feelings... Irina 

Hi Ed, I am feeling better,wasn,t on Kiss on Sunday,stayed all day in bed,came home  from work just now,tired and hungry,how are you? Tell me how do you live  there.It is raining all day here,dark and nasty,I would like to move to a sunny  warm country right now. Irina 

Hi Ed, You make me smiling and more happy with your letters,I am going to work  soon,have a nice day there,will write you later. Irina  

Hi Ed, First of all I want to tell you about the Scammer list.A french man invited  me to visit France,send me 100 euro for visa and tickets to Kiev embassy  for the interview,I bought the tickets,he seemed to be a rather normal  man,then he began to tell me some vulgar jokes and hints,I said we didn,t  match and stopped communication,he went crazy and put me there.I found out  about that after some time and wrote to that site and they took me away  from that list.I wonder if there is any list for men-idiots.I don,t want any  money from anyone and I still feel bad I took your money,I can send it  back,please write me your address. I don,t think I will become rich if I get the US and I don,t want to be  rich,I want just a normal life,it is so difficult to explaine you about the  life here,you may not understand how people manage to survive for the  salary of 50 dollars per month or pension 20 dollars a month.And the most  important I can,t find a man for me here. Do you understand why I can,t see  my future here?.I realize how difficult it may be for me for the first time  to adapt in the Us,but I know there is much more chances for me there.Thats  why I will wait for the Green card and I don,t want to search anyone,this is  so humiliating to expect a help from anyone and the men are getting so  suspicious,I hate that,I have to prove all the time I am just a normal woman  who wants to get married(not just take his money ),hope you understand. I can install Messenger,but it is too expensive for me,I have spent a lot of  money on the internet for last 4 months,I don,t want to spend anymore and I  don,t want to take your money again.(thank you very much indeed) If I get  any extra money at work I have to buy a coat for winter.I want to be your  special friend very much and will write you as much as possible.I think we  could be special friends and maybe even more if we meet,I even think I could  take some vacation any time if you wish to come.It would be so nice to see  you tomorrow!I could meet you in Kiev or Kharkov.Ed,I am so tired of this  writing and this virtual life, I do want to live a real life already. My new job will not give me any satisfaction ,I am sure,because it will  change nothing in my life and I will still feel lonely.I have been living  all my life in Kharkov,it is a grey industrial city with many noisy students  and windy cold weather most of time,I do dream to change the surroundings  and daily routin,I suffer from this bad car,s and buses,s smell,this  darkness and cold. And they have taken off a hot water in my district  again!because most of people don,t have any money to pay. I will deal with  the administration of the Southern railway wich is in Kharkov,our firm has a  lot of contracts in Kharkov now,my general boss from Odessa is happy about  that,we are finishing the reconstruction of the railway station and  starting the reconstruction of the big hotel near the station.And we have  some objects in Sumy and Kremenchug. Hope you understand me better now,I have a little depression this  month,sorry,will fight with it,smile. Irina 

Hi Ed, I could take 5 work days + weekeend in December,9th-13th-16th is Ok,there  is a new fast train Kharkov-Kiev,it takes about 5,5 hours to get Kiev,it  gets Kiev at 1pm and another one time,I will find out . I think my computer at home or at work will be able to open and print any  documents. I wanted to send that French man his money,asked that site about his  address,they didn,t send me. Ed,I have plenty of food and I have money to buy the tickets to Kiev. I have  to go to work now,it is raining very hard outside.brrrrrrr. Irina

Larisa Rayder (Tashkent, Uzbekistan)

I would like to report another scammer, namely Larisa Rayder (she sometimes spells it 'Raider') of Tashkent, Uzbekistan. I had been writing with this lady for 2-3 months prior to my travelling to Uzbekistan a month ago to meet with her. Prior to my arrival in Tashkent I had forwarded to Larisa $35 for my visa arrangement and $300 for apartment rental. I did notice however that on the evening of my arrival that in her purse she had a substantial amount of US dollars, this lady had previously claimed to earn the equivalent of only $20 a month. Before my departure from Tashkent a week later, Larisa asked me for $100, supposedly for English lessons, this I gave to her however upon my return home she was asking for more money, these English lessons were apparently more expensive than she first believed. Also, and around the same time, Larisa was declaring her love for me, I had previously told her my next opportunity to be with her would be in August, now and in these letters Larisa wanted us to be married, however there was a catch:

Letters:

Hello my loved Martin!!!!!!!!! I hope, that you feel you good today.  My lovely, I have found out, what documents are necessary for us for a  marriage:  1. the Information, that you are single. 2. Translation of the passport.   3. the Copy of your passport with the visa and a registration.  4. the Certificate of 50 dollars.  5. the Return ticket.  That we were married officially for this purpose money will be  necessary.  1. Registration and translation for the conclusion of a marriage  of 100 dollars.  2. the conclusion of a marriage, about 500-600 dollars.  My lovely, I very much miss, and it is a pity to me, that we not beside  now!!!  Money to me you send so I arrange. I very much love you, and my heart belongs only to you!!!  I send you one thousand my kisses and embraces!!!  With love Yours Larisa  

My last visit to her involved a total amount of $435 but inflation has kicked in, $750 for a marriage, later followed by another $335 for visa and apartment and of course the English lessons still need to be paid for. Were Larisa serious about our marriage then perhaps, but she is not, on the very day she wrote the letter (above) she also wrote the letter below to another man and it subsequently came to my attention that she is involved in letter writing with numerous men.

My dear Axel!!! I had Smile when I read your letter.  For me the external beauty of nothing means, the main thing, that is  inside the person in his heart and soul!!!  I very much regret, but my English very bad. Now I only began to study  it. I translate my letters with the help of the program of the  translator. I have upset you?  Axel, I do not defend in court, I work in the big state organization  which watches, that all laws were executed, in time in all organizations  and establishments! It is very responsible work.  I everywhere different, on work, I business, with friends I cheerful.  My friends very different on a nationality, a trade and belief.  Sometimes we gather and like to joke together! On holidays my friends I  do(make) to me beautiful and good gifts!!  My dear, I very much would like to hear your voice. I think, your voice  also fine, as well as you! What you think of it?  Send greetings and a kiss for me your son!!! I very much love children  and I hope, that the God will present me happiness of family and  mother!!!  My dear, I with impatience shall wait your letter. I send you my gentle  kisses!!!  Sincerely Larisa

This lady should be regarded with caution, not only does she ask for money but she practices 'unprotected' sex. Martin

Letter 3 

My dearest Jess!!!!!! 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. My girlfriend Masha will arrive not on long She then at once will leave to the friend. She with him is very happy. 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.

Letter:

Hello!!!I have seen your add and I think that you are a very interesting person. I decided to use the chance to get to know you. Hope I will be lucky:-)I don't think that the age and appearance is so important though I am rather pretty.  The most important what is inside you and how do you feel about the life. I  know this life from many sides and I am rather mature already to know how to  make a man happy.  I don't know if you answer me or not. But why not to try? I will regret if not to try. I think we should use every chance to find our happiness. Life is too short to use it only for thinking and dreaming. I try to act but not only to dream.  So here I am:-) I will not write you much about myself now. I will just give you an idea of  who I am.  I work to earn for my living. I have a higher education and I am rather intelligent.  The only one I miss is a beloved person and I want to have a family . I have really  many interests:music, reading, books, computers, movies, good conversations, sports and many other things which make the life wonderful. I like beautiful clothes and things. I can't say that I have many friends. I know many people but I am very picky about  the friends. Friend is a person who will be with me all my life. And I am lucky to have some really good friends. But I am very sociable that is why there are many people I have good relations with. I live with my parents and we are very friendly though don't understand each other always. I am rather independent. And work to be able to pay for the things I want to have in my life.  In some words I can tell you, that I enjoy the life as it is and I love the life with all it's aspects.

And here is the letter asking for money.

Hello, sunshine Edward!!! In the first lines of my message I want to tell you that I miss you so  much. You are the most important and best part in my life. And I just adore  you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I shall stay at you how many you of it will want!!! And if you will love me and want that I have remained, I shall make it. I SHALL be WITH YOU HOW MANY YOU of IT WILL WANT!!! Well, I've got to know what I need to come to you. I need to do all the paper work to get a visa and then to buy tickets  to come to you. As for visa, there is a Fiancee visa but it is not the best variant for  us as we haven't met yet and we don't have the documents and pictures to improve our meeting. They will not allow me to go there as a guest but it is possible to get a Labour or visa for Work there. I can get this kind of visa very easy and quickly now. But the only problem now is that I don't have money for it ( I need $186 for visa ). It is very expensive for me and I can't find this money now. So I ask you to send it to me by Western Union as it is the most safe way to send money. For this purpose you will need my precise address: 6-14 Respubliki Str., 625035, Tyumen, Russia. to Nadegda Savelyeva. And in a week I will have this visa if I pay for it in some days. So everything depends on you now. I miss you so much and I want to see you as soon as it is possible. Just thinkin some weeks I will be able to hug you, to kiss you, to feel you near Love you and think about you all the time. I love you!!!! Your loving Nadya. P.S. Trust me and in some days I shall be with you.
