Svetlana Smirnova (Kstovo) aka Svetlana Kurmakova (Uralskiy)

My name is Robert Green and recently I was going through your black list to  try to locate a person who claims to be Svetlana Smirnova of Kstovo, Russia.  I found a strikingly similar Svetlana Kurmakova in that when I read her  letter to Andrew Kinni it turned out to be nearly, word for word, identical  to the communication that I received from the Svetlana I was supposedly  communicating with. See the following and compare. Please be aware that  this letter was sent after three to four weeks of prior communication, but,  finally culminated with this:

Letters:

Hi my sweetheart! I so happy to get your mail and to write mail to you again! Dear Max, I have some good news for you! Today I was at my father and spoke a lot about you and me. He can't  understand, why I found my soulmate so far from me, but he understands that  if I love someone, nothing can stop me. Its seems he like you. He is very  glad for me that I met a man who I seeked for a long time. He believes in  you and he trusts you. I asked him a lot about our future how it can be. He  told me that we have to meet first and then to decide what to do. Also he  told that if our relations after it will be successeful, he will present us  his village home or he can sell it then we would not have any financial  problems with visiting our country few times a year. Its enough big and old  house and it costs about 40 000 dollars. But it can be sold only after it  will be privatized and it can't be ealy then in 8 months. My father  dreaming to sell it and he think that now there is a good reason for it. He  hopes all will be fine in our relations. He tells that this money should be  enought for us for the first time for living, for period seeking for job.  So, I have another news: I just returned from NNVA. I was so worried if it  will impossible to get visa for me yesterday. And I was so happy today  talking with communication manager of NNVA today when he tolding me that I  have a great chance to make a visa and to get it approved. He asked me a  lots of questions and he suggested me to fill some documents but I rejected  because I am not sure now about some details of my coming to you. We have  lots of questions without answers now, some unresolved questions. So here is information about visas that I can do: 1) Tourists visa. It allows me to come to your country for period from 2  weeks till 1 month. It cant be prolonged and on the expiration I have to  back to Russia. It costs about 210-250 dollars USA depending duration and  including ensurance and neccessary medical tests and other. 2) B-2 visa. It  calls "visa of the bride" also. Its good for period from 2 weeks to 3  month. It can be prolonged maximum for 2 additional months and then I also  have to back to Russia. It costs about 340 dollars USA including all  services. 3) I forgot a name of this visa. For approve it we both have to  visit Russian Embussy at your country and fill some documents. This kind of  visa allows us to get married. I can't get it and approve it at my country. We shall get it for my next trip if we decide to get married. Any kind of visa will take 2-3 weeks to be ready and approved.  My dear Max, how do you think, which visa is better for us? I was really  sad to know that visa costs such money. Tommorrow I will write you news  about a cost of the ticket. When we shall have all information we shall  decide how to do better. Please write me all your ideas, Yours, Svetlana

Guys, be very cautious of who you are talking to. There are web sites out  there that for a minimal amount of money ($20.00) where you can verify that  a person is real. These sites saved me almost $1000.00. They are well  worth it.  I hope this information and these pictures will keep someone from becoming a  victim, as I nearly did.  Sincerely, Robert

Hello I am a single white male who lives in North Carolina, USA. I am employed by a security firm and a full time student. I decided to go to Yahoo! Personals and put ann add up. Within two days I had a response from a female named Elena wanting me to write her. Her profile said she was from N. Hollywood, CA. I figured what could it hurt so I replied to her. First thing that was confusing about all of this was the fact that in her personals add she had blue eyes but told me in a letter she had brown eyes. Any way for starters her is the first letter:

Letters:

At present I work in a small distributor on sale of products.I like this work, a lot of interesting,  dialogue with people,Dialogue with people develops the person.  I live in an one-room apartment with my girlfriend so it is easier to us to live to both as we rent the apartment.  In free time from work I try to have a rest.

Hello my dear Jimmy My dear, writes your Elena. How are you, today?? I am glad to receive your letter today, and waited for it with the big impatience  We with you adults, serious people, and perfectly realize, that together to us it is better. Now my life has found sense. Our correspondence can proceed with you some months, and year can also. Being realists,I think, both of us realize, that our meeting could not take place casually. And our relations develop not as relations of simply familiar people. At them definitely there is something the greater. I long reflected and have come to a conclusion, that we need to make the following step, I think, you understand me, we need to meet, and would like to offer you, I want to arrive to you. In life there are such situations,which found on reflections about necessity of joint residing, with the purpose of creation of a cell of a society.I thought of our relations much and have come to a conclusion, that it is love. You, as the reasonable person, should understand, comprehend and estimate all those advantages which are given by our future union. Association of our intelligence, abilities and potential opportunities becomes a good basis for creation and development of high-grade future posterity. When I think of you, I understand, that such clever, erudite, intelligent, interesting, independent the man to meet in our society it is improbable and is problematic. But as we have found each other, it would be logical and expedient to begin a vital joint way. I tender kiss and I love you. In the proof of my love to you I write you verses, they are devoted to you It is fine verses when I read their that I think of you, about us together. My voice for you both tender and languid Disturbs later silence of night dark. Near bed sad the candle burns mine;  My verses merge murmuring, flow, rivers love, Flow are full you. In darkness your eyes shine before with me, To me smile, and sounds are heard by me: My friend, my gentle friend. I Like... Yours.. Yours! In pinetions long hopeless,  In alarms of noisy vanity,  The voice gentle sounded to me long Also lovely fig dreamed. And heart beat in ecstasy,  And for it have revived again  And a deity, and inspiration,  Both life, and happiness, and love. Sincerely  Elena

Now you have understood, why mine Heart under yours hand is not beaten.

A later letter has a different birthday, and she uses her former scam name as her mother, and a former scam-e name as her father. Her family name did not appear in the Kazan phone book. The pictures are numbered instead of named. She asks lots of questions but doesn't care about my responses. She gets friendlier as the letters go on and is about to ask me for money because her last letter was about XXOOXX, love, and being together soon, that is the clincher the sense of urgency. 

"Natalia Garaeva of Kazan" is her new scam name. I saw her on the blacklist by these other names.

Anastasia Fedorova/Nastya (Syktyvkar, Russia), Natasha Machihina (Cheboksary, Russia), Natalia / Natasha Koldyreva (Kazan, Russia), Nadya Abramova (Chelyabinsk, Russia), Nadya Abramova (Chelyabinsk, Russia), Ludmila Shakirova (Kazan, Russia), Ekaterina (Kemerovo, Russia)/Elena Koldyreva (Orenburg, Russia). 

If I hadn't found this site I probably would have sent some money to you know,,,try to help her get to me,,,my instincts told me something was wrong her so I searched for information. I almost paid the money; Bill  


Natalya (Saratov, Russia) snow-nata@yandex.ru

I am a 33-year-old Caucasian DJ from Connecticut. "Natalya" first contacted me through my ad on Interracialmatch.com. The e-mails seemed innocent at first, but I still was skeptical, as you have to be on the internet. There have been 9 e-mails in all. I soon noticed that she would rarely answer any direct questions of mine, and that she seemed way too serious too soon. 

Letters:

Hi, my dearest friend Steve! I have seen your profile and decided to use my chance to get acquainted with you. I know that somewhere in this world lives my second half . And I decide find you in USA . And Internet is a good way to find him. So why not to try to get to know each another? I believe that I need to tell you more about myself. My name is Natalya. I live in city called Saratov. So, my height is for about 170 cm and weight is for about 58 kg. I was born on May 10 ,1975. I am a christian. I do not want to speak about the appearance. As I can not estimate myself. I send you my photo. And I hope that you will make it. To have a better idea of my appearance you can look at my picture, which is attached to this letter. And what about you? Do you have some new photo? I also want to saw it. I want to apologize for some mistakes in my letter. You see, I am not very good at English but I am studying it hard myself and hope to prove my knowledge someday. As for my family, I am an only child in my family. I have neither sisters no brothers. My parents are divorced for long time already. My father left us when I was still a little girl and I haven't seen him since that time. It is really very sad and I am always very upset thinking about it. So I am looking for the person who will be a reliable husband, friend, lover for me and who loves children because I adore children and would like to have a happy, friendly family and our children to live in the atmosphere of joy and happiness. It is my dream to create my own family and to present all my love, care and tenderness to my future husband and children. I have many interests and I will tell you about it in brief. Well, I can't imagine my life without music. I get up with music and go to bed with it! I always listen to music when I do something at home and it helps me to be in a high spirit. I like everything from classical to modern music. Usually it depends on my mood. From modern foreign music, I prefer Moby, Madonna, Jamiroquaer, Wanessa May, and Dido etc. My favorite song is: "In This World" - MOBY. If you want to have a good rest you must put this CD in you Stereo system and just take some fun. I always try to find some time during the day to read a book. Usually I do it before going to bed. I prefer Russian classics, such as Pushkin, Lermontov, Chekhov, Tolstoy, Dostoevski and many others. I have re-read them many times already and every time I take one of these books, it is like I am reading it for the first time. I am sure you have heard about these writers. Sometimes I don't mind to read something from the modern literature, detective stories or novels. I do it just for fun. Sport is a great part of my life. I go to the gym twice a week and also do aerobics. It helps me to be in a good shape and in a high spirit. When I am training, I forget about all problems and hardships in my life. I love my friends a lot and I have many of them. They are all very different and it is always a great pleasure to see them. Sometimes we go to the nightclubs but do it seldom because it is rather expensive for me. We like just to walk around the town and talk about different things. We often go to visit each another, it so nice to sit at home with a cup of hot tea in the cold winter evening. We often go to the cinema and enjoy our time there. When I watch a movie, it is like I am getting to that unusual for me world full of emotions, passion, love and tenderness. You see I am very romantic and I like romantic dinners with the candles, surprises, night walks under the stars and many, many another things and some day I hope to experience all these with my beloved man. Well, I will close here for today and leave something for tomorrow! I am waiting impatiently for your reply and hope to get to know as much as possible about you. For me, as a woman, I need a man next to me, cause... "What's a woman when a man don't stand by her side... " You know the song I guess man that I want to have next to me must be very strong, intelligent, with sense of humor, very romantic but motivated in the same time. He must love me and protect me, make me feel like a woman and share I really like you and have very serious intentions. So feel free to ask me everything you are interested in. Take care and have a good day! Hope to hear from you very soon. Now bye Steve!  Natalya

A few e-mails later, I knew for sure she was a phony, because I googled lines from this "dream" and found it verbatim on this, and other blacklist sites....

Hi my dear Steve ! What a happiness it is to hear from you. Thank you so much for the warm letters. ometimes it happens, when you wake up in the morning  and then things seem to take some crazy direction. But it passes, one just needs to be patient, till the sun comes our from behind the clouds. You know, before, when things went wrong at work, I use to come home and just take a hot bath, have a cup of hot chocolate and watch some good old comedy for the hundred and first time. And now I have so much more to take comfort from, I have you in my life, I can reread your letters. Just knowing that there are you on the other end of the world, hinking of me too, makes my life so much happier.    I mean that lately, since we started writing, I've been sleeping such a sound sleep I haven't slept in years. In fact, I don't think I've had such a good sleep ever since I was a child. I dream such magical, such colorful dreams, that it's so hard to wake up in the morning, returning back to the real world. And I've begun to see you often in my dreams. Steve , in my dreams you're so close to me, that I can feel the warmth of your body and the strength of your hands, the softness or your lips?  Seem as if our hearts are being as one and there's no such force that could become an obstacle between us. Like last night I dreamt a wonderful dream. In that dream we were walking together, hand in hand, along the ocean shore. And the ocean, playful as a kitten, nipping at our bare feet, licking our footprints off the wet sand. Milky pink dawn was just being born in the cloudless sky, sprinkling the waves with its golden sparkles, light breeze played with our hair. And then all of the sudden it began to rain, in a second it was pouring heavily, and there's wasn't a single soul in sight, and no place, not even a tree, to seek shelter from. In an instant our clothes became soaking wet, and useless. So, we took it off, and plunged into the warm and gentle ocean waters. Myriad of raindrops, just like little pearls, hit the water surface, of the color of rising sun. We messed around in the water like two kids, yet I could feel your strong hands holding me, and I felt so safe, as I never had felt. We laughed, it was the most genuine laughter. As I woke up I thought that I wouldn't be fair any more to say I'd never seen the ocean. Because I had. It  was Our ocean. It can't be found on the world map, but if there's a map of our lives, I'm sure it's there. And it's called? The Ocean of Steve and Natalya??  Thinking of you, Natalya.

So, I humored her for a few more e-mails, noticed many contradictions when she spoke of herself, and finally she started pushing to visit me, and then asked, although subtly, for money...

Olesya Demyanova/Norilsk

I am Bob, a 49 y.o. divorced man who has posted his profile on a couple of  dating websites. I have received a number of attempts by scammers that I  hav  seen listed as scammers on this and other websites. However, a month  ago   began receiving correspondence from someone named Olesya Demyanova.  Originally she called herself Marina and then said that was just a screen  name. She is not working with an agency that I know of and probably got my  profile from Yahoo. In her last letter, she asked for money in her own name  ($350) for a visa to the US which she claimed she could get in a couple of  weeks. Later in the request, she suggested that the money be sent to Galina  Volkova. With a twist I haven't seen before, she suggested that I use  e-gold.com instead of Western Union. She emails every day and after only 4-5  letters claims her undying love. The final of the story has not happened yet  as I have only received the request this morning. I will reply later today  to her request which should be the end of that correspondence. Her email is: prettygirl@lonelylovely.com

Letters:

Hello, it's Marina. I emailed you because I really interested in you. I don't know do you see my profile in internet or not, so some things about me: I live in Russia (I can't set up it on my profile  so maybe the information is not correct there) and my nationality is russian. I'm 27 and I havn't children and never  married. Myheight is 5'6' it's about 167cm and my weight is about 123pounds it's about 56-58kgs. I have green eyes and brown  hair. I want to know you better, to start email exchange with you and maybe meet in the future because I'm not  interesting in penpal, I want to have the relationship. I send you two my pictures, so if you like my pictures and want to talk  please reply. I'm sorry for delay but there was the email problems but now it's ok. I will wait for your email soon! Marina.

Name change letter (February 26, 2004)

Hi Bob, I received your email. Today is nice day and I'm in good mood. Thank you for all your emails I like  to talk with you and I hope we'll talk even more. I don't know when you receive my emails but I write it  on day time, what is time difference between us? I think about 8-10 hours, what do you think? It's not cold here and your emails make my days. Usually I wake up in the morning at 6-7 o'clock, have breakfast which I cook  by myself and have tea. Would you like to have tea? It's good drink for health and I like it. What  you usually drink? Then I go to the bus stop and go to the my work. Sometimes I don't like to wait for bus  and I go to the work by myself. It takes about 15-20 minutes. I like to walk sometimes and you? I think it's better walk not alone. I start to work on 9'clock and I like it. I think that the life without work  is boring and silly. I don't know which quotations in your country but I want to tell you about  our economic life in russia. Our president Vladimir Putin inspires trust to russian people and we trust  him. I don't want to discuss about politics, because everything is difficulty in it. My salary is about $100-150 per  month here in recalculation in american dollars and  t's hardly more than 3-4 thousand of roubles. I come to shop for make  money but I think I will change my work. But the prices in our country is not very big. I rent my flat for $60 here  in norilsk. I don't know is it interesting to you to read about my life or not, so I want to know about your life in  your country. For example the prices much higher in Moscow or St.Petersburg. The rent of flat cost about 300-500  american dollars and the flat cost about 40-80 thousand of american dollars also. It's the fantastic sums for normal real eople in Russia.  At the evening at 6-7 o'clock I go to the home, watch tv, read or go with my girlfriends. I like outdoors sometimes but I like be at home too. I like your pictures very much, and I understand that you don't want chidren but I want to know you better anyway, I'm interesting in knowing you Bob, I like you! And your age is pretty for me, I like when the man older than woman!!! It's great! I'm sorry I sent you yesterday a short email, I thought I can write another later but I couldn't. So I write you today. I see that you write me and I think you must know my real name is Olesya, fullname is Demyanova Olesya. My girlfriends call me marina sometimes so I used this nickname in internet because I heard that many peopleuse the nicknames there. Please call me Olesya. It's so cold and rainy here usually. I'm glad that we correspond with you Bob, you must know that I don't want to make wrong choice. Please write to me all what you think. My mother would tell hi to you if she would be here in this world, I told you that she was the best mom in the world. Now, I'm going to scan new picture for you Bob. I scanned it already in internet cafe. Hope to hear from you soon Bob and hope you have a nice day and mood. I will waiting for your email.  My picture is not so good but I hope you like to see my new picture. Your good friend Olesya.

Hi my love Robert!. It was a great day when I received the first letter from you I thank the God  and I know that I found the man which name is Robert and I love you. Today I find out up to the end all about  opportunities come to you. The weekend was too slowly lasted without hearing of you Robert, and I miss you Robert. I am pleased  with an opportunity to meet you soon, and I want it very much, I think you want it too, your letters was the ray of light in my life.  As you know I was not interested in moving to other country but I will do it because I found my love and it's you Robert!!! We have embassy representation here which makes the documents for people who want to leave the country as you know. 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. They have defined a type of the visa  and it's type which allows to marry in the future but if it will be not realize I must return to my country after ninety days it's limit for  visa.The visa cost three hundreds and fifty american dollars. It's make me little suppressed and disappointed that I don't have so much now for visa. I was  make application but I must pay for it. My friends says 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 fourty dollars (1200 roubles) and my wages will be not soon. I asked my  friends about helping me and they said that havn't money at the present moment. I asked how you can help me, because you are far from me. In embassy they tell me that I must ask this question in my bank. As you know I have a friend which found the husband from united states, do  you remember Robert? He helped her future wife(my girlfriend) to come to him. I havn't the contact now with her as I told you. So I  thought that could you help me Robert? I think you want me come too as I want to see you. I decided to ask about  way of your helping if you want to do it of course. So I went today to the bank and asked about way of sending finances from one country  to other. They says that there are two companies which could to use. It's westernunion and moneygram. The sender must know the name and country of receiver and inform receiver the confirmation number for receiving money. The receiver must know full name, full address, contact phone of receiver, the exact amount and confirmation number of course. But they asked me do I have any licenses. I told them that I have license for selling goods and they advised me do not use western union or moneygram because I will must pay big taxes and will have problems with tax management, it's the laws in russia. They told me that because of I have the license on my work, if you Robert  will send me your help through moneygram or westernunion I will must pay 30 from amount you will send. I was too upset but they tell  me that the transfer could be picked up by your friend which havn't any licenses. So if you will send your help to my friend's name, I will go to the bank with her and she will receive your help and give it to me. So this is the way for us. You will inform me the confirmation number  for receiving and my friend couldn't receive it without me. I have a nice girlfriend, I know her about 15 years and she is honour and  decent woman (she is teacher in school) and her name is Galina Volkova.You must use the name of my friend Galina and everything will  be ok. You will inform me confirmation number and we together (with Galina) come and pick up your help. Here is the information you must  know: Name: Galina, Lastname: Volkova, country: russia, city: Norilsk. Galina is very good woman. But in the bank they say that there is other way. It's the e-gold system. They told me that it's very serious, reliable, protected and not dependent on inflation and exchange rates. She said that  the company have internet site called e-gold.com you may read and understand how it works. I asked them why this system is good, she says that it's very fast (few seconds for transfer), it's reliable, it has small fee ($0.5 for one transfer). If you will send me your help through egold you  must register your own account and put your money into it. I think you can read about it on the site. Then you will transfer it to my account which  I will be register if you will help me this way.And this amount I could receive through bank. I think you must register your account first and  transfer into my later. I read the site and I think it's all things are  understandable. You must know Robert 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, I decided to come to the unfamiliar  country and I never be in your 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. My love Robert I need 350 dollars for paying visa I think you will help us because we found our love and we want to meet closer. The visa is the  very important document and I must receive it first. The payment includes all documents: visa, foreign passport, medical documents and other type of documents for leaving my country. You must know Robert we must hurry for it because I can receive other papers 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 but I ould get it. And it's  fact, but if I pay now I think I will come very soon! 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 man. I appreciate human qualities and  relations and I love you Robert!!! 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 Robert. My heart is yours. 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!!!!!!!! I hope that you want me to come. Olesya.


Olya

My name is John. I am a 46 year old retiree. I reside in Alabama. I recently  received a reply from an ad on Imatch.com from a women with the user name of  "sweeetty." What was odd was that her email address was in the sites  correspondence, she advertised being only 24 years old and with her "broken  English," claimed to be a resident of Jacksonville, FL. I replied to this  person and the next day received a reply. The email address was  "beolya@fromru.com. Just out of habit I investigated @fromru.com and  discovered it to be a web-site of Russian origin. I then searched for  "sweeetty" on Imatch again only to discover that "sweeety" had disappeared.  So then my curiosity led me to check on the validity of Cheboksary, Russia  which subsequently led me to this web site. I there discovered the tale of  John Hewitt and a reply he received around Feb. 2002. Here is my version of the same letter. 

Letters:

I'm so pleased that you can understand my not so good English language, that  I have learned in and in College. I'm 166 cm tall, my weight is 51 kg, I  work as a cosmetologist is a shop. I live in the city Cheboksary. It is  approxiamately in 650 kilometers from the Moscow City. I want to say to you,  that I love children very much. I have an experience of dialogue directly  with Russian people, but they are not adapted, it is serious also. And they drink alcohol very frequently and it is not so is pleasant to me. I think, that such habit is not a gift. I want to inform, that I do not smoke, and I do not drink strong drinks. But sometimes I like to drink in the good  company a small glass of vine, though it happens very seldom. I want to say,  that I'm able well to play a piano. I have finished musical school, I've  studied for 6 years. I want to inform, that I live with my mum. I don't have  father. My grandfather unfortunately has died, 7 years ago. I want to say,  that I like various music, but mostly classical. I want to be serious. My  relations to you are to find love and to create happy family. I will be  pleased, if you want the same. I want to say, that I write to you from an  office computer. Unfortunately I have no the computer at home. I hope,  that it will not be a problem. I hope you'll answer me soon. Yours, Olya 

I am also attaching the photo sent. Thanks for your help. To God be all  Glory. John.
