Well yes I have been scammed out of quite a bit of money. $2000.00 US. Is there anything we can do to stop this? I wont bore you with all the details or the emails from her but she is very clever. Goes by the name of Kate or Katia. She even covered her tracks down to the point of when her train was leaving. Be careful guys don't give up hope there has to be
genuine ones there. Great site wish I found it right before I sent money
instead of after. It will be the first one I join as soon as I can afford it. GREAT SITE. Anyway her details and photos are below.

Letter 1
Hello my dear Greg !
Thank you very much for your letter in English. I like it very much. First of all, I would like to tell you that it seems to me that
we start to understand each other better and better. I really like talking to you on the phone. You have a
very male voice. I think, when we meet we will understand each other even
more better. You have a very good sense of humor, I like to laugh with you,
when you make some jokes. Thank you very much for your compliments. It is
very pleasant to me to get them. But I hope, when we meet we will like each
other even more, I do want to be with you. How is your flat? I wish I could be
with you and help you with the repair of it. It is hard to tell you what colors I
prefer, I want to let you choose them, and then when I come I will appreciate
them and your perfect taste . I am sure I will like it. Recently, I have talked to
my friend. She has visited Australia. She really has wonderful impressions on
her tour. She told me that now she has become a professional in making the
tour to different countries. She told me that she can help me with pleasure.
The only thing she told me now that all the documents must be made here, in
Russia. Send me your papers and I will make them ready here. I would be
better if I will arrange al the papers myself, because people in our Embassy
find always fault with the papers arranged abroad. The most important is that
you must send me the invitation, the document about your earnings for last 5
months. As soon as I get the papers from you, I will start to make the
tour and will discuss the question about the money. I think, it will be better if you chose
the Speed post to send the documents to me, because it may take about three
or four months to get them. I really want to go to the places you want to take
me to. I think, everything that we will do together will be wonderful,
everything will be special to me. I do want to be with you, to find my happiness with you.
And I hope, that the arrangement won't take us too much time. I don't know if
I have some photos where I am really ugly, even if I have them I don't want to
send them to you, you must understand me. I want to be for you the most
beautiful and best girl in the world. Looking forward to your letter
With tender
Kate
Letter 2
Hello, dear Greg!
Thank you very much for your letter and for the photos you sent to me.
I was very glad to receive them. It seems to me that Australia is a big green
paradise. I really want to look and explore the country myself. And I dream
about the time when I come to you and we will be together. I know that it is
not cheap. And I want to help you as much as I can. I want to start economizing the money. Of
course, I can not get much , but at least, something is better than nothing.
Do you agree? I hope, everything will be fine. As we agreed send me the documents to my post address and I will start to
prepare for it. You must know, that it is a long proses and in Russia it takes
really much time. So, what if we begin right now? Here is my post address:

I phoned some agencies and they told me that it would be better
to bye the tickets here, in Yoshkar-Ola. You know, I will have to pay much for the
services of the agency. By all means I will pay less if I do everything through
one agency. I am really looking forward to the time i fly to you, I think we
will have unforgetable vacations. I really like you and I pray God to make
me happy with you. I know that we can be happy together and there are many
opportunities for me to find a better life. I want to be happy with you, my
dear. I hope, you are honest with me and will never give me up. I believe in you

Letter 3
Hello, my dear Greg! Thank you very much for your letter. It was in Russian. It was
very pleasant for me to get it. But I couldn't open it. Maybe, you send
me the same version in English? I really want to read it:). Since I did not read
it I can not answer it now. But I have some news for you. I have talked to the
agency , the manager of it, he told me that it is difficult to make the tour to
New Zealand. It will take some time to do it. He advised me to begin it right
now. So, I think he is right, otherwise it will be our head ache:). And one more
thing. I can not use the ticket which you want to send to me. And you have to
send the money for it. Now the situation is very difficult with the country, I
hope, you know the latest news about Embassy of Russia and America. The
confrontation is very hard. I was explained that I wouldn't be able to get Visa
with foreign ticket. I think, we'd better obey the rules of Russian government.
I dream about the time we will be together. Now everything is shining the spring
will come soon. It is a very romantic time. During this time all the dreams may
come true. I do want it. I wish my dream will come true soon and I will be
with you and a beautiful garden of love will grow for us to be happy.
Did you get the papers you wanted? I hope, yes. Waiting for your call and your letter
With warmth

Irina
Chikalina aka Tamara Repina (Irkutsk, Russia)
I am 50 and wouldn't consider myself stupid or
desperate. I placed an ad
at a global matchmaker site. The website, through I was contacted is: www.oneandonly.com
I wasn't specifically looking for a bride or a Russian bride. The ad was only 2 days old and I got a response from this
"Irina". After the 3rd or 4th letter she was obsessive about her "love" for
me. She never got to the point of asking for money, but I could see it
coming. I countered with simple reason that I was too old to start a
family, and explained a time line to her in detail. (she was 27). This sort of
sudden "love" is not normal or healthy. I started browsing for information and found this web
site. I was urged to see this "blacklist" section ."Irina's" photos were there
under "Tamara Repina". The style is the same, and so are the
photos. I was
lucky in that I sent her no money and blocked her address. I did get a phone call
from her in the wee hours of the morning, once. Reading further down the
blacklist, I found letters from others that match the ones I recieved almost word for word. The poem is the
same, even the name of the Rottweiller!

(Luhansk, Ukraine)
I'm a single male, white American 47
y/o. Building Inspector. I've been writing Irina for about 2 1/2 months now and thought she was a
real sweetheart, and for real. I originally found her on Absolute Agency
#A728921. I've been planning a trip to Ukraine for about 5 months now, going August 15
for 2 1/2 weeks. Irina sounded real sweet and kind, (my kind of girl) anyway she ask me to help
pay for English classes, so I did. I sent her $250.00 Western Union on July 12, ( I wanted to be able to talk to her when I got there) and
haven't heard from her since. I wrote the Agency and ask if Irina had been
taking English classes? NO Response from the Agency. The Agency is Rondez-Vous@ukr.net. I have written the Agency about 5 times now asking
about Irina and NO Response! Yesterday I was going through some of me old letters from her and found a letter that said; Fri, 1 Jun 2001
Dear Sir,

Hello my dearest John!
Thank you very much for your letter. Dear, I can speak English, I can communicate, but it is difficult for me to write in it.
Kiss you Irina
Boy do I feel like a fool now!
This was Irina's first letter to me;
Hello dear John,
It is so nice to received your letter. I think that you are a nice person on the
inside. I also would like to have your photo. Can you send me one? I am
interested in finding out all about you, and I will tell you anything you would
like to know about me, all you have to do is ask. I know it can be difficult learning about someone through letters, being
far away, and I believe that love can conquer all, so a few thousand kilometers cannot stand in it's way. What would you
like to know about me? I am 21, my birthday is April 20. I am single, My hobbies...
I enjoy movies and games, I love to swim and to bicycle long distance. I also enjoy reading,
I have read books by foreign authors, but they were translated into Russian ( I don't know English well and have to use a
translator service now. Is it a big problem? Let me know, please. Ok?) I teach myself many things, and lately I have been
trying to teach myself to speak English. It is very interesting for me, and I enjoy it although I don't think I'm very good...
perhaps I need a tutor:-) I listen to all kinds of music, I like many kinds Pop, Rock, Classic and I love to dance. I don't go
to many clubs , but sometimes my friends and I get together and we all go dancing. We also go to comedy clubs to watch comedians.
I have a good sense of humor, after all if we can't have a little fun in our lives what good would that be? I have dreams about
finding my soul mate, and sharing with him everything in my life. I would like to read of your dreams, and to know a little of what
you want. Maybe, we have much in common, I think, and our dreams are the same. Well, I feel that I am going on and on, so perhaps
I shall end for now. I look forward to your reply, ask anything that you would like to know, I promise I will answer. I hope this
letter finds you and your family in good health, and that you stay warm and safe.
Kiss you Irina
Now my brother sent me a profile from Svetlana Tkacheva
(Agency Socrat, Socrate2001@ukr.net)
From Absolute Agency # A933665. Same girl!
This is Svetlana's first letter;
Dear Sir,
We would like to inform you that Svetlana,
the girl you are corresponding with, is
a user of our translation and computer service.
Agency "Socrat"
-----------------------------------------------
Hello dear John,
How are you? I hope you are very well. I am very interested in knowing more about you. Let me tell you some things about myself:
I am 24, single, I am from Ukraine, having never been married. When I marry, it will be the first and only time. My personality
is very calm and easy to be with. I prefer to act with people in a peaceful and intelligent manner. I like to look at the
world with an open mind. I try to imagine the world, through the eyes of others. I was brought
up with Christian values and I have respect others. I have many interests that include nature, sport, reading , animals, and movies.
I also enjoy music very much! I see my future husband and myself as a partnership between equals.
All important decisions would be discussed and decided by both of us. And when it comes time to have children, the responsibility is also
something that we will both share. I would like to have two or three children. What about you? I think children are fascinating! And
though I realize children are a lot of work, I think they would bring a
great sense of satisfaction. I am looking for a man who is not afraid to display an emotional
personality, especially in times of joy and sorrow. (I think mostly about the times we will smile and laugh and cuddle. But I also wonder
about the times I may have to wipe away your tears and hold you very tight. I also think about the times I may need you to wipe away my
tears. I think about a time when we may disagree, and I wonder how we
will resolve such things. I hope these times would end with both of us
laughing. I dream we will both keep our minds open, and we will respect
what the others thinks, and even if we did not agree, we would think of
the others thought as interesting, maybe) So tell me, What do you think? I will be waiting for your letter impatiently.
Hope to hear from you very soon. I send you my picture and will be happy
to have yours. Ok?
Kiss you
Svetlana
I'm hope this will be made public so no one else will be taken the way I was.
I have notified Western Union about this scammer
Thank You

Hello my dearest John!
I was very happy to hear from you. Dear, I am so happy that we have found each other, and I really hope we will meet us one day. thank you
very much for your care about me. I will be just happy to learn your language to be able to communicate with you directly. The intensive
English classes with everyday 2 hours lessons cost 250$. On the last weekend we went with the family out of town, the weather
was fine and we swam in the river, sunbathed. I wish you were with me.
I am sure, we can be right for each other and can be happy together. I will be happy to live with you in your country. Bur of course we
should decide it together. Dear, I want to tell you honestly, that I don't write to other men.
yes, i have received letters, but i didn't find anything in them. Thanks a lot for your honesty. But I don't know what to tell you about your
correspondence with other women, I think, it a little bit strange. I hope you will marry the one
at least.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Iryna
Zverava (Minsk, Belarus)
I wish I'd seen this website prior to
corresponding with a certain "Iryna Zverava" who claimed
that she was "24 years old. I was born and have lived in
Minsk, the capital of Belarus, on the 7th of November 1976".
I have attached four pictures that I was sent that purported to
be this Iryna. The story is the same as many on this web site. I was
dumb enough to think that this person had "a girlfriend" who
worked in a travel agency and another who worked in a bank! How
convenient! I was even given the phone number of "Golden
Travel Agency" which I called and spoke to someone who pretended
to be Iryna. Next time she wrote:
"The agency book a certain amount of the tickets for
every flight. And
as soon as the cost of the tour is paid the ticket will be
registered on my name. It's necessary to have a ticket to start an
opening a visa process. It takes about 3 weeks to receive
a visa. So as soon as the tour are paid as
soon I'll receive a visa. So, at first,
It's necessary to pay the money for the tour. There are two ways
to do it: You can send the money to the
account of the travel agency or send through the Western Union
on my name (My full name is Iryna Zverava). Do as It's easy and
convenient for you.

"Golden Travel" agency
Try to say me quicker your opinion about it.
Is that Ok for you? I hope, It's Ok and we'll meet for
Christmas. I have already started to collect the necessary
documents. I bring the papers about my parent's salaries.
It's necessary to prove that I'm able to pay for the tour
and will be able to support myself during my staying in the USA. But I
think that if the tour is paid of I'll not have any
problem with my visa. My friend assured
me that I'll receive a visa without any
problem. It's very seldom American embassy refuse the tourists
in the visas before the Christmas. It's necessary to be a
criminal. :0) so I think, we'll meet without any problems."
Of course, a couple of days before
"Iryna" was due to travel came the bad news:
"I went to
the travel agency and they said that they did all their best ,
but they advised me not to hurry up , because the result will
be negative. Simon, I am so sorry about all this. Unfortunately
there is no other solution. Today is the 23 - I am already late!
I am in a shock about everything. I am sorry for
this."
This was the last email I
received. I tried calling the "travel agency" but
every time I got a message in Russian. I assume it was saying
that the number was no longer in service.
Thanks for putting this web site
together. I don't feel quite so bad knowing that this is a common occurrence.
Since then received other emails asking for money. One, anjelappp@gmx.net,
told me she needed $900 to treat her mother who had been
involved in a car accident. I wrote back pretending I didn't trust
wiring money and I offered bring the money in person! Of course, I
never heard back! I would be pleased to answer any questions people
may have.
Sincerely,
Simon Holden
   
Ledi
aka Elena Solovyeva (Novosobirsk, Russia)
Hello, My story will be short. I only wanted to pass along the photograph and some general info about this girl. I found her at
Absoluteagency.com. She goes by the name Ledi but will tell you her real name is
Elena Solovyeva. I don't know if it's real or not but that's what she says. She claims to be from
Novovobirsk, Russia. She claims to have a way to get fiance visa and
papers quickly. First asking for $250.00 then changing to $400.00. Then
when I so stupidly sent her (or whoever it is) the money guess what? She had
to go out of town......then was in a car wreck-----a friend
(supposedly) wrote to tell me about the "accident" and said that Ledi would write to me as soon as
she was out of the hospital. Not another word from her after that. Her email address is
m_ledi@mail.ru as far as I know this address will still accept letters.
And money offers of course! Drop her a line just for fun. I write every once in
a while just for grins. (never hear back though) It sucked at the time happened
but fortunately I can laugh at myself about it now. Hopefully I'll find a "real" girl
soon. Good luck to all of you!

Letter 4
Hi Chris!
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 seller-consultant in a tradehouse. I wake up at 7 o' clock a.m.
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 ivide(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, what is your hobby??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....Maria.
p.s.
I know as to play a guitar.
But I play as beginning. I like serious music.
I listen Led Zeppelin sometimes.
My favorite is "Baby I'm gonna leave you".
Letter 5

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
Kaliningrad, 236001
Yaltinskaya steet, 34-15
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. Maria.
p.s.

You looked as a real man. You asked who takes my foto.
This is my girlfriend.. She is a good fotographer isn't it? J

to come true the God knows only. I hope to see your letter soon. Yours

This scam rang a few bells in my mind.
#1 It progressed at a rapid pace in the letters.
#2 There are hardship spots in the letters that are begging for you to ask
the question, What can I do to help?
#3 The reply letters did not address my responses, except for a tiny bit of
p.s. at the bottom, so I was more suspicious.
#4 Finally the last letter seems very strong and the first hint of money is
mentioned $280 for tourist visa.
#5 These are the exact letters from previous scammers listed here, final
nail in the coffin.
#6 I was very paranoid from the "get go" I am glad I am not out anything
besides some "hope" and a little less "trust" for the next time. If it was
not for this site and the "Black List" I might have been taken for far
longer, or even have sent some money.
One thing is strange about the girl in the photo. In my last email, I specifically asked
to see a picture of her with her parents. The last email I received before
finding out it was a fraud contained her picture with two elderly people.
This picture nearly convinced me she was real. I am very glad for your
website, I plan on working through your website in hopes of finding a Russian
woman who will like me. Thank you very much for having such a wonderful and
informative website.

Marina
Klimova (Tyumen/Russia)
I was contacted by Marina via Kiss.com. I suspected a scam right away since she requested in her message to me that I reply to her email address
klimmar@rbcmail.ru instead of sending a message through Kiss.com. The
other thing that made me suspicious is that she removed her profile within a
couple of days of my receiving her message. She used EXACTLY the same
messages as used in the listing for Tamara Repina (Yuzho-Sakhalinsk, Russia). This was especially funny since the date she gave me for her birthday
in the first message was different from one listed in one of the letters. I played
along with the messages until I finally received her request for money. Her first
letter to me on Kiss.com and the request for money are below.
It seems that there is a definite ring working in Tyumen based on all the other listings.
Letter1
Hello!
How are you? Are you happy, is there a smile on your face? I am happy for you,
but I myself feel lonely without you beside me. My name is Marina. I was
born on the 10 August in 1974. I live in city of Tyumen. Nature is so amazing
and beautiful in our region. By nature I am communicative, cheerful,
honest loyal, sensitive and optimistic. My main life goal is to create a happy, united family with a
faithful, honest, sincere and loving man. Family means a lot to me, and it is my
main priority in life. For me the word "family" includes a man who can make me happy,
home comfort and tranquility, quiet romantic evenings spent near the fire-place,
noisy parties for friends and travelling for summer vacation. Most sincerely, Marina.
P.S. Only necessarily write to me on mine present e-mail: klimmar@rbcmail.ru
Money request letter
Hi my love Jon!
Today I have for you very joyful news, I called to American Embassy and has
learned that the visa is really cost 270 US dollars. This is cost of the visa
which called B-2. This is the visa of the tourists or visitors. I learned about
other kinds of the visas, but me was told that the visa B-2 is the most suitable
variant for us. Besides I was told that it is possible to prolong it if it will be
need, therefore I agree with them completely. But unfortunately I do not have such money.
As you probably know in our country a very awful condition of economy and people
are not payed the money for vey long time. Certainly it is a shame, but I am compelled to ask you these money for us to meet.
If you can send me this money through the system Western Union. Money must be
sent for my name to the address branches:
TUMENENERGOBANK
145,RESPUBLIKI STR
TUMEN
625026
RU
MARINA KLIMOVA
When you will come to the bank, there to you will be given the Money
Transfer Control Number(MTCN) which consists of 10 figures. You should
send me these figures which will help me to receive this money. The system
Western Union is the most reliable system money translations all over the
world. It is safe and quickly. You can ask if I know so much about this
system. This is explained by fact that one of my girlfriends works in this bank.
I am very glad that you want to see me, unfortunately, there are necessary
money for our meeting, but money is only paper, main that we shall meet with
you. We should trust each other because we love each other and we soon will
meet. I called to a uncle in Moscow and he has told that he can find the ticket
with the discount for me, but for this purpose it is necessary to know where is
the nearest international airport to you. Yesterday I saw sexual dream about us with you, it was very much excited and
I want to tell it to you. I dreamed as we we meet with you, as you take me to hands,
we go to you home. At your home we go at once to a bedroom and you begin to undress me,
our hearts are beaten synchronously, we are passionately kissed and you begin to teach
me to all pleasures of sex. I love you and I begin to understand that love this such strong feeling,
I am glad that I could test it due to you.
With love forever yours Marina.
I never sent any money and hope that this will help others avoid the scam. A couple of her photos are attached.

Marina
aka Tamara Repina
A little while ago, I sent you a report
from a woman called Tamara Repina (Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Russia). I
was contacted by another women named Marina (no last name) email klimmar@rbcmail.ru.
Except for the picture, the email she sent me is the exact same as one
Tamara sent me. Enclosed are the 2 pictures she sent me. I
have reported to the Web personal hosts.
Natalia Kuvshinova
(Samara, Russia)
Hey, I'm a 34 y/o single male. I was contacted by her and was sent the same
letters as Michael was and in the same order. I was also sent the same
pictures plus a few extras. I never sent her money and she finally gave up I
guess because she finally stopped writing me after about 20 letters back and
forth. That little #!@&*%!!!!!!!!! I was really falling for her but I played it out as long as I could. I
figured that If she really loved me she would stay in touch with me whether
she got money or not.
Pyrosyrus
Natasha Kuvshinova aka Natalia
Kuvshinova, Irkutsk, Russia
I am a single male parent in American raising a 12 year old daughter. I
placed a personal on Match.com and was immediately contacted on June 18, 2001
by Natalia@talkmatch.com. I responded to her and we corresponded daily.
Her last request to me for money was dated 7/20/2001. I sent her no money,
however I did send her my last correspondence on 7/23/2001. Natalia/Natasha
wanted money for visa. I had previously checked on INS web page. I was
aware a visa was unavailable for her. I also found her picture on
blacklist. I played with her scam for 3 weeks and frequently wrote that I
loved her also. In her E-mail I noticed quickly she does not answer questions
you ask. The woman writes a very warm letter and is most convincing. I have
found she operates under numerous alias names and also has numerous addresses. In addition, as the correspondence continues she sends
more pictures. The longer she has corresponded, the hotter the pictures.
Some are very high quality studio quality portraits. If she wasn't a scamming tramp, she
could park her shoes under my bed whenever she pleased.
Thank you for providing a valuable service not only from the American single
men, but the honest Russian ladies as well.
