Tatyana contacted during the month of December 2003. What clued me into to her scam attempt was the IDENTICAL wording of emails that were posted at this [black list] under the names of Ekaterina Ivanova, (Kurgan Russia) and Tatyana Vidyagina (Orsk, Russia). I stopped correspondence with her and have blocked the email address that she was using. Robert, USA

Onishchenko (Samara City/ Russia) Letters: Hello John, I am glad to receive from you the answer. In this world there is a person who wishes with me acquaintance. Excuse me beforehand if my letter will be a little bit incoherent. I not able to begin acquaintance. But if I began, I shall write in this letter a little about me. Also I shall send one of my photos. I was born September, 25, 1976. And i have 27 years. It is a lot of. And I reflect on the future life. I want to have own family. I want to bring up own children. I was born and have grown in city of Samara. It is the big industrial city in the centre of Russia. Here nearby there is a huge automobile factory. The majority of inhabitants of Samara works at this factory. Including my father. My mum works also at this factory. She works there in a first-aid as medical sister. About my parents I shall tell in the following letter more. Now, as I spoke, I shall write about myself. As I spoke already, I was born in 1976. Up to 7 years i went to a kindergarten. As my parents could not be constant with me. Since 7 years I began to go to school. I studied very well. After leaving school in 1994, I have gone to the Samara medical institute. As I had the fine certificate after leaving school. I could study in Institute free-of-charge. In 1999 I have finished training in Institute. Since that year I work in children's hospital as the therapist. My task on work - to define the diagnosis of disease. If necessary I should send patients on various inspections. Work with children forces me to be more attentive. Work with children is more difficult, than with adult people. But I have got used. And more, my work is pleasant to me. And I have pleasure, that I can help children. Probably, the love to children has come to me with age. And I have understood, the children - our future. Therefore, I would like to have own children. You will ask me why I have chosen you? Why I shall not find the man in the own country? I do not know what to answer you. I already spoke, that I am not able to get acquainted. And simply in the street I can not strike up an acquaintance with the stranger. My girlfriend, the fellow worker, has offered me to find acquaintance with the help of the Internet. And now I write you from Internet - cafe. I have no own computer. It is expensive very much. And I can not allow this luxury. In own possession it is not enough computers in our country. Probably the level of our life does not allow to live so that to afford much. No, I do not complain of bad life in Russia. I earn enough to live in Russia. Well, I shall finish this letter. If you, having read my letter, agree to continue with me acquaintance. I was possible shall give for you one question: " You agree to have acquaintance with the Russian woman and if all will be good, you agree to have serious attitudes with her? " Yours faithfully, your new familiar Svetlana We coresponded for about 1 month until I got this email where she needed money for Visa: Hello my love John! I am happy to receive your letter. Today in the morning as I spoke, I went to visa agency. I asked about moving to your country and I got the answer that I need the visa, foreign passport and some other documents for registration. We have defined a type of the visa and it's type which allows to marry in the future This visa allows me to be in your country during 90 days. I think, that it will be enough to know each other and in a consequence to marry. If we marry during validity of the visa, I can remain with you on more time. If we do not marry, I should leave your country on the termination of validity of the visa. I asked about prices and was very surprised, first I ask about time of performance. and they said that there is many people who wants to make documents and leave the country Therefore, if I wish to fly in the country earlier, I hould write the application and pay the visa on next week. Then the visa will be ready during 2 weeks. If I can not write the application and pay the visa on next week, that I should wait manufacture of the visa during 2-3 months. I was very much surprised with the prices of services. The visa costs approximately 250 dollars, and the passport and necessary documents cost 79 dollars. It's make me little suppressed and disappointed. I don't have so much now. I was make application but I must pay for it. I asked my mother about our savings she said that the money should not be a barrier between two people which love each other. I counted my sum and I found out that I have only about fifty dollars and my wages. ill be not soon. I asked my friends about helping me and they said that have not at the present moment. I asked the advice my mother and she said that maybe you can help me, because you loves me. I asked her how he can help me, because he is far from me. My mother said that you can send the money through company which make this service. I asked about it, on my work and I know now, that exists reliable and fast company, which makes remittances in world and it's western union. I remember that I saw advertising this company on tv. I take a directory book and found the address of it and it's not far from me. I went there, and I asked them about service. They said that sender must go to the western union, give them information: the name and last name of receiver, country they make transfer and bring the ten digits secret code to sender. The receiver must know ten digits for receiving money. They say that the branches of it must be everywhere worldwide. Here is the information about me: Country: Russia City: Samara Name: Svetlana Lastname: Onishchenko Address of branch of western union: INKASBANK The address: street. Aminieva, 1 443125 I must know your full name, full address. You must know that I decide to ask you about it because I love you and trust you very much. I decide to come to you because I feel this way and you are very necessary to me, decided to come to the unfamiliar country and I never be outside my country. But I decided to do it because now you are part of my life and I trust you in all. I think you trust me too and love me too. You must inform me the closest airport to you I'll ask the help with ticket from my relatives. Please, don't forget to tell me the closest airport. My love I need 300 dollars I think you will help me because we found our love and we want to meet closer. You must inform me ten digits and I can receive it. You must know we must hurry because I can receive the documents soon, and if we lost the time it is necessary for a long time. Now it's very difficultly to receive the visa to your country, and it's fact, but if I pay now, I think I do it. I think about sense of money, and I'm very sad if this paper can prevent people to meet each other. In most cases the money play a main role in life but it's not right! I'm sure. And the quantity of money was and will not important to me, I always not aspired to material enrichment and don't search specially for rich male. I appreciate human qualities and relations, and I love you John!!! I love you all my heart, I want to be with you now. I want to be with you forever. If it's mutually we will be very happy in our life. I think you love me too and we will meet very soon. You are my love, my Angel. My heart is yours. Probably, you will not trust me after that the letter. Probably, you will decide that I am a deceiver. But I can repeat to you, all my words, all my ideas, all my feelings to you is a true. nd as though the destiny has not turned to us, as though you have not decided, I shall love all the same you. And I shall prove to you, that it is not simple words. I'm waiting good news from you, I hope everything will be all right and we will be together soon. Every day I think about our meeting, and I think it's real, we must use this chance of destiny. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!! Your love Svetlana. Hi my love John!

The employees the Internet cafe beforehand warn the girls concerning meetings Now I shall try to explain: If the man comes to Russia to the beloved girl, the girl bears responsibility for his safety We have such groupings of the gangsters, which meet and track down the foreigners at the large airports These gangsters plunder and injure of the foreigners, is especial of the Americans There is even such, that they kidnap the people and require of the relatives the large repayment for his freedom ! I would not like that with you something happened I never shall forgive myself, if with you something similar happen! I very much love you and do not want to lose you ! It will be much better if I shall come to you , especially I never was abroad It will be twice pleasant from of this travel, I shall see a lot of new and interesting, and most important, I shall see you, my love!

Smirnova (Ekaterinburg & Scranton, Russia) Letters: Hello my sweetheart, It is always so nice for me to come to my cousin every day and get so many letters from you my darling. Thank you very much for the photo too. I adore your pics, my love. It makes me feel closer to you in a way... But I wish it were not for the computer only... I wish you were near me, holding me in your arms, kissing and cuddling... I adore you, my love and miss you a lot. Ken, can you call me on Monday, 9pm my time? I miss you and your voice so much... I hope we can talk again! My love, I have read all your e-mails very attentively. You have found out a lot, Ken. But I'd like to explain you something. My love, I know about all those things, you have mentioned in your e-mails. I do not think it will work out in our situation. Ken, I live over here and I know very well as to how things are done in Russia. Let me explain you everything step by step. You see, that travel agency I used to apply to was the last thing I did while getting all the information. I was hoping to find something cheap and not as expensive as the services of that travel company. So, I'd better start explaining with getting a passport. There is a governmental office called OVIR that deals with foreign passport issuance. But the problem is that it will take up to three months to have it issued, while that agency will help me arrange everything with my foreign passport in three or four days only and the most important thing is that they guarantee everything. I do not remember if I told you, but if I apply to that agency, I will have to sign a contract which is notarized. I do not think they will disappear with the money I might pay them. This is absurd. They have been working for a long time already in tourist business and their reputation is pretty good. It is one of the most reliable and credible agencies in my city. After all, I have been advised to use it by people I know very well. They have already used their services and everything was perfect. Speaking about my visa, darling, that agency helps me with the visa issuance. Everything is done via the US Consulate certainly. But you see, if I apply to the Consulate on my own without any other help, I will have to wait for more than one month till they start working on my application. And the worst thing is that I will likely be refused. This is a normal practice here in Russia. The easiest and the most guaranteed way to get a visa to any country is to use the services of a credible agency. If I apply to that agency, they will help speed up the process, I will also be prepared for the interview. They will also help me with all the papers I will have to get from my work, medical insurance, papers which prove if I have any property or not, some papers from police and etc. You see, if I apply to the Consulate on my own and I will be refused, it will be even more complicated for me to get a visa next time and I do not want it to happen. I cannot lose you my love because of those stupid rules. Things are never fast in Russia, if you start doing something on your own. It is far better to start doing everything with the help of people who know very well as to how the things are done. It has always been that way in Russia. It is the same even now. You have also mentioned, if you can pay with your credit card or something. My darling, you have to understand that if I am coming to you on a tourist visa, I cannot mention your name anywhere at all. Once someone gets to know that I am coming to you, my chances to get a visa will be immediately reduced to almost impossible. You see, my love, if you were my relatives, there could be no problems at all if you invited me and proved you would cover all my expenses during my stay in the USA. But since I am a young woman and you are a man, that proves that my intentions to visit your country are not that sincere at all and none of the countries are interested in it. You have to understand that Ken. When I come to you on a tourist visa, we will have evidences anyway which we will show when we start the process with the fiancee visa but now anything like that cannot be revealed. My sweetheart, yo have also mentioned something about scams and etc. I do understand that you might not trust me and that agency enough, since there is a lot of money involved. But I am pretty sure that the agency is one the best in Ekaterinburg. After all, I know for sure they are doing their job pretty well and I have no doubts about it. But I understand you being so concerned. My love, after all we can start doing everything step by step. So, we will start with my passport first, and once my foreign passport is issued, I can send you a copy of it so that you could feel more comfortable and after that we will apply for my visa. Ken, believe me, I want to be with you more than anything else in the whole world and I have already checked all the possible ways for me to arrange my coming to you and that agency seems to be the best one. I do understand but the costs are high but I think it is worth it. After all, we will be together my love and you cannot imagine how much I wish it to come true finally. Please call me Ken. Write me something, my darling I love you with all my heart and soul. Yours only, Svetlana Missing you already... Hello my sweetheart, You do not have to ask me to forgive you as you have never let me down. It is not your fault at all, my love. You know, I hate so much to think that so many things in this world depend so much on money. I cannot understand why the rules are so complicated. I cannot imagine how I am going to live next months without you, my darling You know, Ken, I have never been that happy and unhappy at the same time. This is a paradox but that is the way I feel inside for you and me. I have met a love of my whole life but I cannot be with you. I wish I could kiss you, touch you... I love you Ken. Why we both have to suffer so much. This is unbearable. I am so deeply in love with you darling nd so much want to be with you. I need you my love and I know that you feel the same about me. Ken, you have written that we could have made it, if it were a pssport, visa and tickets only. I know there is extra 3500$. But what if you could borrow it for a couple of days. I do not know, if it is possible or not, my love but I do not have to spend this money after all. The only thing I will have to do is to show that money at the customs and that is all. After that I will give it back to you and you return it, my darling. I will also try to borrow something. I do not know if it is possible or not but we can try anyway. There should be a way ut Ken. There is always a way out. The only problem is to find it. I know I might seem too stubborn but you see, it hurts so much to be so far way from you. You cannot imagine how terrible I feel now every time I come to my cousin. I talk to you, I write you... You are so close to me but at the same time, so far... I am orry but my love for you is too strong, Ken. I will always love you, my darling. Yours forever, Svetlana PS. By the way, thank you very much for the photo. Your family is so nice and your niece looks so cute! I think she is a real beauty. I hope I will have a chance to meet them one day. Hello my love, Thank you very much for calling me yesterday. I could not write you an e-mail because my cousin and her boy-friend were too much in a hurry. So, here I am again and it is such a pleasure for me to read all your letters my darling. I will never get enough of that. I am sure. That is all I have at the moment, all I have from you my love and that makes me feel a little sad since I so much want to be with you, my darling. They say that on Christmas and New Year all the wishes come true. I have got one wish only and you know what it is my darling. I do not need anything at all. All I need is you my darling, being with you on those holidays as I am sure it will be so fascinated both for you and me. I love you so much Ken as I do not think I have ever loved someone in such a way before. You mean the whole world for me and dream days and nights of being with you in your loveing arms, being kissed by you, spending days and nights with you only... I cannot understand why it is so complicated for us to be together. I need you my love and I know you feel the same about me. But I still hope there might be a chance for us to be together before the holidays. My love, I have been to the agency today as I promised you on the phone. I have been explained that I will have to prove that I have no intentions to stay in the USA forever, once I am permitted to enter the country. I will have to prove that I am a credible person and I will be back to Russia once my visa is expired. Since I am single and I have no kids, I will have to bring them a paper where it is written that I have got a job. Besides, I will have to show them that I have got some property over here. You know that I am working at school. Speaking about the property, that apartment I am living in with my parents, belongs to me. This apartment was registered on my name only and officially, I am the only person who it belongs to. Besides, if I apply to that agency for my papers, I will have to book a two-ticket in advance, which is also an evidence that I am going to get back to Russia. They have assured me that there will be no problems with a visa issuance as long as I follow all their advice. Speaking about the border, I have also asked them about it and I have been told that I will have to prove my financial stability over there. I have been told that I will have to take with me all those papers I have mentioned above, just in case I might need it and there is one more thing my love, which is pretty devastating for me. I have been told that I will have to show the money to the people working at the customs. There is a rule at the customs that all people from Russia both men and women have to have some money to show the officials so that to prove their financial stability and ability to cover some personal needs while being abroad. The amount of money I need is 3500$ approximately and it is so huge my sweetheart. That makes me feel so terrible. I know that money will not be spent on anything at all and if you could help me, I can return everything once I am with you my love. My darling, I have been told that if I do everything the way they have explained me, there will be no problems at all. I just wish now it could be possible and we would not have to wait till February. I cannot imagine how it will be possible for me to live without you for so long. I need you so much my love. I just can't live without you... I kiss you with all my love and passion and I hope it will happen soon, my darling... My heart belongs to you, Svetlana Hello my love, Thank you so much for writing me so soon again, Ken. Every time I read your lovely and tender letters, I feel like heaven since I could have never expected I might be so lucky to meet such a man like you. My only wish and hope for now is to be with you on Christmas and New Year. I do hope with all my heart it will be possible to have my coming to you arranged via that travel agency. I am sure it is a very credible one as my parents' friends used their services before and everything was done properly, therefore I am so sure they will do their work in the best possible way for me too. Speaking about the immigration laws, I have also thought about it before as I do not want us to have any problems in future. My sweetheart, I was told that if I visited your country on a tourist visa, I would have to leave it once my visa is expired. If it is going to be that way, I will have no problems at all entering your country for the second time. I think that if I come to visit you on a tourist visa first, it will make the process with the fiancee visa easier. But anyway, my darling, you can contact that agency by yourself and probably, they will give you even more information. So, their e-mail address is amargarita_03@mail.ru Speaking about their phone number, as far as I remember, it is 7 904 82 63209. Please keep me informed in case you want to contact them, my love. Ken, I will go home now but I will write you tomorrow again for sure. I will also try to scan you some new pics and send them to you. I love you with all my heart and soul. You are the greatest love of my whole life... Yours only, Svetlana PS. One more thing I forgot to mention. Can you call me on Sunday, 11pm my time? I will be at my cousin's for sure and I will be waiting for your call my sweetheart. Love you so much... Ken - Virginia USA
