Tatyana Valerevna (Anishina, Russia)

I am a 41 one year old divorced father of one well off to do. I had signed up on Yahoo.com personals to meet other single or divorced women. I was contacted in early November of 2004 by a lady with a profile. When she returned my e-mail I realized she was from Russia. She sent a beautiful picture and we started to write about every other day. This went on for a month and a half when final she decided to come visit during her month off between her old job ending and new job starting. In one previous letter I had asked if she needed money and she denied the request. She said she was strong and would take care of any expenses. She even called be the first Friday of December 2004 to say that she wanted to come see me but after a minute the phone went dead. I was bought, hook, line and sinker! One Monday December 13th. she sent me an e-mail that said good news. She got her visa and was booking a flight but the flight was more than what she had and was asking me to pay the difference of $293. She even sent me info on the flight number and times that she would be arriving. She was good. That is when I found your site. The more I read, the more it looked like I was being scammed. But she had a visa? The day before I was to send the money Western union, I saw on your site, "how to tell a real Visa" . That clinched it as well as me e-mailing a copy of the visa to the US embassy in Moscow to confirm the visa was legit! It came back as a fraud. No such person by that name had been in for an interview for a visa. She still was playing the part of the innocent person wondering why I did not send the money. One other note: I received a letter from another lady Natilia that was the exact same first and second letter, almost word for word. They must be using a form letter. Ed

Letters:

First letter:
Hi Ed! You have written a letter to me, it's very pleasant. Thank you that you found a minute to answer me. Frankly speaking I couldn't hope for it. I'm sorry that I was not able to write an answer to you. I hope you'll forgive me and won't be angry with me. I'm very sorry. Pardone me. I think you will write me and I'll answer you at once!!! I don't know what to say in my first letter, because I never got acquainted through internet before. It's something new and unusual for me. But I'll try write good letters to you. I suppose you'll be able to understand my words and what I will say to you. I think it will be right if I begin to tell you about my self first, because it was me who began to write. I'm not sure that you will like my letters, that they will be interesting to you, but if it won't be so you will write me about it. OK? Probably you'll be surprised that I don't live in your country. But I hope it don't shock you. I'm the same like many other ladies in other countries in the world. I'm a usual woman who has hands, legs, a head a heart that is the most important. I think that my heart is very sensitive. I hope you'll understand it from my letters. I'll be immensely happy if the distance between us doesn't afraid you, and you'll answer me. Please don't be too strict to my mistakes in the words, english is not my native language. But I suppose I know it well. Well, my name is Tatyana, as you know. In my childhood I was called Tanya. My friends call me so now. Some times they call me Tanusha. Endearing form of my name is Tanechka. You may call me as you like. I won't be disappointed. I'm 30 years old. My birthday is on the 10th of September. I was born in 1974. My height is 168 cm (5 feet 6 inches). My weight is 52 kg (115 pounds). I live in a small village Anishino. Anishino is stuated not far from Tula. Tula is a big and famous city of Russia. In 1941-1945 Russia solders lead cruel terrible fights with German aggressors. I think you know about the War. Tula is a very beutive city. I suppose you would like the city if you saw it. I was dreaming to become an actress in my childhood. Probably it's the dream of many girls. But my dream didn't become true. It's severe reality of life. I graduated from a medical university. My education consists of 3 level: school, college, university. I had been studying during 18 years. All 18 years I studied the English language also. I graduated from the university at the age of 25. By the way I was awarded with a medal for excellent results during my studying. Don't think that I boast (smile). Than I worked as an assistant of a surgeon in a small clinic for 4 years. It was very intresting and at the same time responsable. I was happy to give people health, to help them. Many things depended on me during operations. I think in future I'll be able to become a surgeon myself. Do you think that it's a good dream? Unfortunaly I had to stop working in a hospital, because my salary was tiny. Now I'm working as a manager in a marriage registration bureau. I like my job. I'm glad to see happy smiling just married cuopes. I my register marriage officially. I like to say to people: "Now you are a husband and a wife". I do it not only for people from my village, but also for couples from other villages which are situated not far from ours. Many people know me and say hello meeting me. But not long ago I was invited to work to a private clinic. I was offered good money. Now I'm in 2 minds what to choose, what is the best. Probably that I will work in the clinic like a surgeon. At present I have a small house with small garden near it. I live alone that's why I'm not able to work in the garden constantly. But never the less my garden is very beautiful and pleasant. I like to grow flowers because they are the most beautiful that were created by nature. I live alone, have neither children nor a boyfriend. Sometimes I feel very lonely in my house. May be that's why I decided to get acquainted with you. I'm already 30, and take life philosophically. I have a house, a job, friends but I can't say that I'm happy. I have no many who I can my best half. I wrote you first, it means I can share my thoughts and feelings with you. I hope you won't laugh. And we'll write a lot of letters to each other. I'm very glad and grateful that you answered my letter, because I decided to try getting acquainted through internet only once. And it was a miracle for me when you wrote me a letter. If it was not so I will never try to make friends through e-mail once again. I never get acquainted before in such a way. I can't understand fully how it works, because I don't have a computer. I'm just a beginer in the work of internet. But I hope I'll be able to write you constantly. I hope you are interested in our dialogue as I'm. You have written to me your number phone. I never called to anybody from other country earlier. But I shall try to call you from a public telephone booth because I have no phone of a house. Anyhow I shall be glad to hear your voice! I'd like to ask you Ed some questions. If you don't want to answer them, you may not to do it, I won't be offended. What do you do? What's your profession? Do you like it? Who are the nambers of your family? I ask to tell it more in detail. With whom do you live? Ed you may tell me about you all what you want. I'll be glad to know all about your life. It's just women's curiosity. Hope it won't offend you. I send you my photo. I think we should not conseal any thing. I hope that photo's exchange will be constant. I realise that tastes differ but I hope my image will be pleasant for you. But I should tell, that I can not receive the big files. I shall have trouble. Because I use a computer on work. I hope your letters will not be more than 0,5 mbyte. If not I will understand and won't be angry. I hope you will write me soon. I thank you beforehand. I am sorry once again that I did not answer your letter for a long time. Forgive me, but I had no opportunity to take advantage of a computer. I have no computer of a house and consequently I shall use a computer on work. But I shall try to write to you every day if you want to talk to me in future. I hope for it very much. With best regards. Tatyana.
P.S. Hope in your answer you write your name. I shall wait.

Second letter:
Hi Ed! How are you? What is the weather like today in your country? I hope all is well. Today it was small snow. But it didn't last long. Now the air is fresh outside and I'm glad that I can sit near the window and write a letter to you. Today I have had a difficult day, but now i'm free and I can spend my time writing you. Today it is cloudy outdoors that's why I am in a lyrical mood. By the way I'm sorry for my previous letter. It was sad. I didn't want to make you disappointed. I hope you didn't get offended to my story about the mother. Well, I'm in a good mood and I want to tell you about my hobbies. I like listening to different music. It depends on my mood and feelings. I like Russian composers such as Dunaevski and Chajkovsky. But I also like listening to Mozart and Bach. I think they are great composers and no body will surpass them. I like Joe Satriane as well. I suppose he is a magnificent guitar player. I hope you agree with me. I like the group "Dire Straits" very much. I like "Pink Floyd". They are not similar to any others. There are a great number of popular musicians in America. But I remember Russians as well. May be you heard about the Russian group "Spleen" or "Chaif". But I think the most famous Russian group in the USA is "Gorky Park". Probably you've heard about it. They had a great success at the beginning of 90s. By the way I like going to the cinema very much. I like Russian directors such as Tarkovsky, Konchalovsky and Mihalkov. Now days a lot of American films are on the screen in Russia. American cinema is widely spread in Russia. I like such old American films as Gladiator, Brave Heart. Mel Gibson is a good actor. New films are also interesting to me. I have seen "The chronicles of Riddick" and "Another vs Predator" recently. I liked it. I have some favourite shows. For example - "Wildlife" from BBC. They show the most beautiful views of nature and animals. I like to watch programs about nature and animals very mach. I also prefer to watch NBA games. They are fantastic shows. But unfortunately NBA games are not very often shown on Russian TV. I know that American football is very popular in your country. It's an exciting show as well. Criminal programs have the biggest rating on TV, because here TV reporters tell about crimes occurring during a day or a week, they tell about leaders and authorities of criminal business in Russia, juvenile murderers and racists, addicts, maniacs, etc. You know the level of crimes is extremely high in Russia. The majority of our country like to watch these programs. But I hate to do it. I prefer to watch some musical and entertaining shows, and as a rule they are our (Russian) programs and of course they are not known to you. Now you think that I spend my time in front of the TV screen with my mouth full of popcorn and it takes me the whole day (smile). But it's not true. Actually I watch TV very seldom, once in a blue moon. I have no time and forces to do it. My health is the most important thing for me. I don't boast. My health is really good, and I always try to be in a good form. I jag every morning, try to spend as much times as possible in the open air. I have no car and I take a bus or whatever (I mean transport) very seldom. I take cold - not shower. I have been living in the conditions of rather cold winters and damp autumn since my childhood. Such king of climate helps to toughen my health. I don't smoke and don't take alcoholic drinks. I prefer a healthy way of life and I'm proud of it. Sewing and knitting are my hobbies if it's possible to say so. I also like to spend my free time gardening and gathering muchrooms and berries. I love to ski and to skate in winter. I can speak about my hobbies for a long time. But I also want to say that I don't like some things. I don't like artful and envious people. I hate when somebody lies and deceives. I don't love cruelty and roughness. I'm not interested in people, who prefer to spend their time drinking alcohol a lot. I also don't like bad untasty meal and cloudy days (smile). Ed I shall be glad, if you tell about you many various things for me. I want to know about you more and more. Because you my FRIEND. You
agree? Friends always should know well each other. I send you a picture. I can not tell precisely. In my opinion it is December 2002. I was in Moscow. This a Red Square. I hope you know that it. By the way, behind of me you can see the Kremlin. I would be glad to hiking with you on Moscow. I hope may be sometime. Your Tatyana.

The money letter:
Hello my dearest Ed! I have good news, very good for me and for you! I have looked forward to this day. Yeterday I visited American Embassy in Moscow again. I have got the visa. I'm immensely happy. I will leave the work in the bureau on the 19of December and I willbe able to come to you. I will be able to see you in person!!! I addressed the company which sells tickets for plans. I asked them how I would be able to go to Orlando on the 20of December, and how much it would cost. They said that the ticket would cost $ 958 USD. I asked them to find a cheaper ticket, because the price is too high for me. But as it turned out I wouldn't be able to have a cheaper ticket so quicly, the date is too early. Tickets must be reserved long beforehand. I asked them to offfer me other variants of the flight. We found the most suitable one. The flight, is on the 23 of December 2004. The ticket costs $843 USD. I asked the to reserve the ticket for me. But they refused to do it having said that they had a lot of clients. They can't reserve my ticket without adwanced money. I was imploring them. But it didn't work. They said that they would help me with great pleasure but they couldn't. The rules are so. I was in a panic, I was so disappointed. Then I asked themif I could give just a part of the money. But they didn't agree again. I asked them for a long time saying that my fiance Ed is waiting for me. If I asked them a little bit longer I would burst out of crying. Maybe God heard my prayers, and the service worked agreed to reserve the ticket on my conditions. But I have too little time to pay, for the ticket. They said if I didn't day the rest of the ticket price, I would loose the money I'd already given to them. I was angry, but they explained that it would be very difficult to sell the ticket for the plane which is flying. They would have to lower the price. I agreed. They told me to pay $550 USD. But it was too much for me, because I had only $420. I asked to wait for me during 2 hours. I went out of the room. Marina met me at the door. I told her everything. She understood everything and adviced me to pawn our treasures to a pawnshop. Ed, it was very difficult for me to agree to do it. I didn't want to burden Marina. But at the same time I want
to meet you, Ed very much. We pawned the treasures, I got $130 USD and I paid the part of the ticket price $550 USD. It was my last money, it was for the plane by which I'm going to come to you.
- The date and the number of the flight Delta 31.
- Departure from Moscow is 1.10 pm
- Arrival to Orlando (MCO) is 8.10 pm.
I change the plane in New York (JFK), number of the flight Delta 2029. After it I'll come to Orlando (MCO) to you, Ed. It was very difficult for me to tell you this story. I have done all what I could. I have paid for the visa. I have paid for the part of the ticket. But this was not enough. The money was not enough. I didn't want to burden you. I wanted to come to you with nobody's help. I thought my money would be enough. But I failed. Now I feel guilty muself. I didn't manage to do all myselffor our meeting. I thought nothing would prevent me from meeting you. But I must pay the rest of the money for the ticket It's just $293 USD.I must pay it till the 18 of December. Otherwise I will loose the money I have paid and i will loose the chance to see you. And our treasures will be soldby the pawnshop. Now I feel guilty that I could not do what i promised to come to you with my own money. I always do what I promise. I feel il at ease now, I'm ashamed of asking you to help me. Unfortunately the bureau didn't pay me the money I'd earned. I really hoped to get this money. It would solve all the problems. But I'll get the money from the bureau in a month or two. Because it's very typical for Russia to hold up the payments of salary. I asked the bureau to give me my money earlier, but thay refused to do it. Now the bureau doesn't have the money necessary for me. Our bureau depends on the budget, it didn't get money for a long time. I think it's because of the terrorist acts in Moscow and in Beslan. Probably I must say to you that I won't be able to meet you becouse I won't be able to pay the whole sum of money myself. Of course I realize that I shouldn't ask you to give me the money. But at the time I can't just that I won't come to you. I have done too much to organize our meeting. If I refuse to meet you it will mean that everything was in voun. It's torrible for me to refuse to come to you, I have done all what I could. Now I want you to help me and I think there is nothing horrable if I ask you to help me. Of course I realize that may be you have no feelings to me and may be you you're not interested in our meeting. I understsnd that the sum of money is too big. I know it and that's why it's more difficult for me to ask it from you. But at the sametime any person can find himself in my conditions. And now there is only one thing which I can do. I just must say that I will never come to you. But I don't want to say so, because I want to meet you. That's why I must be honest, I need your help. Of course I understend that I mustn't do it. But I'm an honest person. I'm ashaneed of asking you to help me, but life is a difficult thing, everything can happen. Of course it's up to you to decide if you want to help me or not. It's bad, but not fatal. I will loose my money. It's bad but not mortal either. $335 USD which I have paid for the visa and $550 USD which I have paid for the ticket are too much for me. But I'm not sorry for what I have done for our meeting. In fact money is just paper, our treasures are just metal details. That's why I was the first who decided to meet each other. But I don't want all my efforts to be spent in vain. If you really want to meet me, if you can help me to organize our meeting please send me the money till the morning of the 18 of December, 2004. I don't want you to think that I'm not an honest person. That's why I send you the copy of my visa. I wanted to show it to you (but not to ask for the help). I asked people from the Embassy to scan the visa by cd. If you can help me, I send you my coordinates. Marina said that you can use some sistem. I addressed the nearest bank. They said they have "Western Union". They told me that it's the best way for me to get money. There is other remittance system, but at present unfortunately it doesn't work all the time, because some renovation and upgrade of the equipment and signalizing system are made there. But they say that "Western Union" always works and people trust it. I give you the necessary details to send me the money by "Western Union".

for Pahtaeva Tatyana
They said to me in the bank that to get money from you I must say to the bank workers your full name, you full address, the exact sum of money, which I must get and some confidental numbers (MTCN this 10 digitals). This number will be given to you by your bank, if you send me your help. Only in the case when all the information is sent to me I will get your help. Please forgive me my words. I say so because I'm in despair. Now when just one step can connect us, I'm afraid. I need you, I want to be with you, I need you help, believe me, I'm honest with you. I didn't manage to estimate my forces. And all my efforts spent in vain. I understand that the sum of money is too big for you. I didn't want to ask you. I can do everything myself. My loneliness made me strong. I had always been living with my own efforts I always relied on myself. I asked somebody to help me very selcom, but now I ask you to help me. I will give you all the money back as soon as I'm able. Maybe I made you offended. But I need you. I don't know if my letter satisfacted you or disappointed. But I have written you an honest letter. I'm looking forwarol to you answer. I hope for you. Your Tanya. I have attached 3 photos and her passport. I have not sent her a dime and told her IF she really meant every word she said, she would find a way here and then I would give her the money. We'll see if she shows up. Thanks for your site and I look forward to your book.

I lonely woman, who would like to meet someone who will love and understand me. I am very lonely inside and outside, it does get sad at times but I don't just rush into things. But, I know I may find my man...sooner or later. I surely would love to see more than your pictures (also more your new pictures the SMILE). Although, physical appearance is just some of the most common mistakes you could encounter. I would love to get to know you inside and outside as much as possible. Let me tell you a little bit more about myself. I believe that I am a strong woman with goals, ideals, and aspirations. I think that having those things gives you the incentive to not just live life but to savior it. I am 27 years old. My birthday is on the 05th of June 1977. My height is 169 cm-5 feet 6 inches.

Letter 9:
Hi my long-awaited Alan! I waited for you, all my life. Today I have news. Good or bad (you to decide). Yesterday my boss informed me that I will have a vacation approximately through month. But I have not been pleased. I did not expect that I will receive a vacation, very soon. But schedule constituted by accounts department not change. I have begun to cry, because it means that I cannot write to you. I cannot use a computer. Then I have found out that lady which gives me to use her computer, maybe will receive a vacation right after me, and if it will take place I can not use a computer some months. I have imagined that I should spend my vacation in my apartment, between four walls. I will sit without an opportunity to read your letters, I will sit in loneliness and to think of you Alan. I did not take my vacation the last year, and now I shall have 2 months of a vacation, but it do not bring to me pleasure. I have imagined that I should spend some months without you and in my heart has appeared awful emptiness. All world around became uninteresting for me. And I have told to myself: "NO! It not for me!" I have told to myself- "I should be realist, cease to live in fantasy". I thought what I can do to see you. I decided to spend this vacation with you. I thought what can I do to meet you. Simply to meet. It's all that I want now. I have a passport, but I don't a visa to your country. Today I have addressed visas agency. I wondered how much it will cost for me to make American visa. They told me that consideration of the application on reception of the visa costs 220 dollars. This sum does not come back even in that case if my application will not be approved. And for getting a visa is necessary to go to Moscow where there is an American consulate. They have told that I will must visit set of various departments in Moscow. It is a usual way of getting a visa and procedure of reception can be delayed for even some months. I said Moscow it is far from me (500km). I said I can't wait so long. To me have told that is possible to avoid set of problems and to make all in faster terms if to use Full Package of Service (FPS). FPS includes additional payments for a category of the visa, consular services, preparation for Interview with commission, interview. FPS costs 345 dollars, but the visas agency remove all problems an d thus increases the chance of getting a visa without excessive delays (I CAN GET A VISA IN A 2 OR 3 WEEKS). I SHALL HAVE THE TOURIST VISA. WHICH ALLOWS TO BE IN AMERICA TILL 6 MONTHS, AS THE TOURIST. It is the most convenient visa to me. I said that this variant satisfies me and I agree. I have been thinking a lot about what it will be like to finally meet you and to have you near me. I am also a little nervous, not for any bad reason, it is just that I want so much for things between us to work out. I have only known you for a short while, but in that time I have had many days to reflect on our letters, on our desires, and on our mutual need for eachothers love. I am hopeful that the time we spend together will give me the opportunity to show you how much I have grown to love you. I never thought I would feel the way that I do after only a short time. I think there is what that cosmic connection between us, I also feel that there is something about our meeting that must be designed by fate. I have been consumed with the thought of you. I imagine us living our lives together and I am excited from head to toe. I feel that I have found somebody that can understand me and love me for it. Somebody that wants the same things in life and is not afraid to achieve it. Somebody that can see my soul and wants to join it. That's how I see you. I must get rid of the self doubts and move to our future. We are separated by boundaries, by an ocean, but our souls are linked. The link is through a simple thread of the Internet. It could be so simple to cut, but this thread is just the start of a stronger and deeper link that must follow. We will cross the boundaries the ocean, and be linked by touch. You might ask yourself what does this letter mean. It's simple, I have made a leap of faith to you. Your are in my soul. You can think that I hurry events. But understand that until we look into each others eyes we will not truely know what the heart feels. For in order for us to fill our hearts and souls with joy we must first sooth the eyes with the sight of each other and know in our hearts and minds what we say is true. You are truly the type of man I would love to meet. WE CANNOT CHANGE OUR PAST, BUT WE CAN HOPEFULLY MAKE A BRIGHTER FUTURE IF WE HAVE MADE POOR DECISIONS OR IF FATE HAS JUST GIVEN US NOT SO GOOD BEGINNINGS. And I really have registered the visa application with great belief and with great hope that you will be glad to meet me, with belief and with hope that you want to meet me. Tell to me Please, you can meet me at this time? Tell me please, you will be glad to meet me? You will be glad if I will arrive to you? Much tenderness from Vera.

Yulia Sonceva (aka Tatyana Kareeva) Samara Russia

Yulia responded to a love.com site and left the same messages that were posted on the scam reported for Tatyana Kareeva. The photos she sent were identical. The photos were taken sometime in September of this year with an Olympus digital camera. The reason I know this is because the scammer neglected to remove the digital information out of the photos. Her messages would vary slightly because on occasion I would respond with few Russian phrases. The following are the letters received thus far.

Letters:

Letter #1 was deleted by love.com so I can't get it for you but it was identical to the one posted for Tatyana Kareeva.

I already spoke, That I love the work as I like to observe sports meets. But in general it is difficult Work because I should work late, and is a lot of people of us visits(attends), and after work it is necessary To go home some quarters. But this work allows me to have independent life, and I can to help my parents. In Russia it is hard to find good work so I do not want to complain. It is better to work in such place, than to not have work in general. Many people in Russia have no work, They speak that cannot find suitable work for itself, these are those people which do not want to work, They want to earn money thus to work as small as possible, I think that if the person wants Always earn it(he) can to earn but only the work. You agree with me??? As we talk about work, tell to me please, it is more about in what you are engaged in working hours. It will be very interesting to me. Up to following time. yulia mailto:YULASONCEVA@MAIL.RU

Hi, sunshine Rafael!!!!!!!!! I never was such happy in my life!!! It's very good solar Snow weather here. And the main thing is that YOU are!!!!!!!!! I have such strange feeling inside. I grieve without you awfully. I need you very much. I want to be with you, to give you all heat and tenderness which for a long time I saved inside me. I love you!!! I love you!!! I am ready to shout about it for the whole world. I think it's time to solve what we will do. I think, it will be better, if I'll arrive to you. I know agency through which my girlfriend Anna has received the visa and tickets. Visa was making for very short time, and a month later she has departed from Moscow by airplane. Tomorrow I'll go and I find out all about the visa and how can I arrive to you. In the following letter I'll tell to you all about it. Write to me about yourself. Is all good with you??? My parents send a regards to you. I send you a photo, where we are together. They are very glad, that I am happy. I love you. yulia

Letter #8
Rafael. Hi my love Rafael!!!!!!!!! I want to tell you good news. People who work in agency have told to me that there are no problems with the visa. I need to make the foreign passport at first. I made a photograph and brought the reference from my work. I should pass interview in embassy to receive the visa, will be no problems with it. There is a visa for the bride, but it's not the best variant for us because we didn't meet and we have no photos together. They will not allow to me arrive to you as the tourist, but it is possible to receive the labour visa, for working. They will give to me this visa easily and quickly. The agency will find a work for me and will make all documents. But it's problem for me, that I don't have money for the visa. It costs 198 dollars, it is expensive for me. Tell me, have you such money??? If I'll start to postpone, will pass a lot of time before I'll save up this sum. If you can send me this money the visa will be ready in a month, and it will be necessary to think about tickets. So, that all depend on you. I want to meet you very much, but it is expensive for me. Present, that through a month we could be together, it is dream for me. I have found out about transfer of money. The best way to send money it's Western union, it's the fastest and safe way. I can receive money in bank near my work. It's only your choice. I love you and I hope you trust me.

****I thought it was cute how she wrote that she loved me in Russian ;-). Letter #9
Greetings my dear Rafael I was glad to find out your letter today .íà÷íó at once from the main thing that that you can arrive to me it too one of variants of our long-awaited meeting simply I not when was not outside Russia and very much it would be desirable to leave where not be where you waited by the person having to you òàêè a hedgehog of feeling as you. But I think that you not correctly have understood me. I shall do(make) the visa not directly through embassy. I have the aunt which lives in Moscow. I spoke with it(her) and she(it) has told, that it(she) has friends in the American embassy which can to help to do(make) to me the visa quickly. I spoke with them to phone and they have explained to me that it very difficultly now to receive the visa to America in the usual way as it is done(made) with all Russian people óåçæàþùèå abroad. That áîëå that have now toughened the visa control. People collect many papers, cost(stand) in long turns going from one study in another, then acknowledgement(confirmation) on manufacturing of the visa long time expect. But in results receive refusal on what or the reason. I have been very much surprised, when to me have told, that in that case visa the control passes approximately 5 %, from all who has submitted the application on registration of the visa. The majority of decent (considerable) people, do not receive the visa because of an insignificant mistake in official registration of papers. If I shall begin registration of the visa in such a way that I, probably, I shall not have an opportunity to embrace you, to kiss, whisper to you on an ear that about what I dream, my most secret desires and dreams. All these fine moments will be lost only on that that I cannot receive this visa. To me have suggested, to act(arrive) in more expensive(dear) way and to make the visa having taken advantage of services of employees of embassy. They guarantee correct official registration of papers and manufacturing of the visa of all for 14 days. I think you now understand in what way to us it is necessary to act(arrive). I do not want to spend vainly time, to stand in long turns and in a result to receive refusal. If we are going to do(make) my assembly to you then I should conduct process manufacturing of the visa by reliable way. I want, that you trusted me as I trust you. mailto:YULASONCEVA@MAIL.RU

Yulia Spasova (Moscow, Russia)

Hi I am a 52 yo man living in the midwest, and want to make men aware that this woman is a scammer. She wrote me through Yahoo personnels, and tryed to get 1500.00 dollars out of me. I didn't give her any money, so she tryed again to get 600.00 from me. Thank God for Western Union, they told me she has a bad record of doing this to other men, and advise me to think about it. She wanted it sent to Yulia Spasova, in Moscow. here are her letters, and note that the passport isnt real, a real one doesnt have a Eagle on it, but Lincolns tomb. also the expire date is 2-27-04, and issue date is 11-27-04. All I can say about this woman is beware, she is very good in trying to get money from you. JOHN F MCKAY

Asking for money 
Hello my beloved John!! It is already late, I write you from day and night Internet-cafe. I have for you not very good news. Everything id fine, but one obstacle has appeared, about which I didn't know early. I came to the embassy and I was said there that visa is ready, but to I'll be given it, I have to buy 2 tickets and show them in the embassy to arrive to you and return back. I went to the airport, 2 tickets will cost 1680 dollars. I have to insure my life because without insurance I'll not be serviced in hospitals. I have been insured, insurance costs 500 dollars. And I have to have in my hands not less than 1500 dollars and the documents, confirming this. Validity of the visa is 90 days and this money confirms that I'll be able to contain myself for that time. I get the work visa, in the document it is not said that I arrive to you, so I'll not be released out of country without these money. Without your help I'll not be able to come to you. If you send me 1500 dollars via Western Union, I'll be able get quickly your money and in 2 days you'll meet me in the airport. You lose nothing John! Because when I arrive you, I'll give you this money. I know that, probably, you don't trust me. I heard that there is many russian women, who ask for money, and then do not arrive, but I hope that you will trust me for the sake of our future happiness. I did not want to ask for you about money, but I really did not know that it will be required extra money. If I would know, I would discuss first with you this, after all I don't have any extra money. My love, I'm in Moscow only in two days from you; if you believe me and want me to come to you, then send me 1500 dollars via Western Union for my name Yulia Spasova and in two days I'll arrive to you and we'll be the happiest mate in the world. I love you and hope in our soon meeting. I'll stay at night in hotel, tomorrow I'll look the answer from you. I love you. Your Yulya!!! 

One with her passport
Hello my loved John!!! I love you!!!! You have to help me. Without your help I'll not be able arrive to you. Today I was in the embassy again, I have taken the copy of the visa for you to trust me. I'll not be able to find so much money anywhere. But if you send me this money, you'll lose nothing, I'll give you money as soon as I get out of the board of the plane. My dear, you have to trust me, I love you, I'll prove you this as soon as I arrive to you. Trust me, and we'll be the happiest couple of the world. Sweetheart, just imagine, how we'll feel good together, we'll be able realize our dreams. I hope you want to be with me and love me. I wait for your answer. Your Yulya!!!

Last letter
Hello my dearest man on the Earth!!! I'm sorry, that I didn't write you so long time, I have good news for you. I phoned to my parents to home and I explained them all situation. They are very worried about me, that I am delayed in Moscow, and asked me come to home. But I explained them that I love you, and that I want to come to you anyway. Then they agreed to give me money. They saved money all this time for new flat, for me to be able live apart of them, but now I need this money for me to be able live apart of them, but not in new flat but, but in new country with my loved man, and today they have sent me this money. But, regrettably, the amount, which they have sent, is not enough. Parents have said that if we, John, want to live together, we have to trust to each other. They have sent 900 dollars, now it is come short 600 dollars for me. Now do you believe me that I love you and ready for all for the sake of you? My love, you have to send me money as soon as possible, I have to buy tickets here since I have to show their in embassy, together with 1500 dollars, notorized by notary. Loved, I hope on you and wait for your quick answer. I love you!!!
PS. In embassy to me gave a copy not the full visa, therefore the number was not correct. When I shall show tickets and money to me will allow the visa with that number which will be this day. Your Yulya!!!

Yulya Spasova (Borovichi, Russia)

I am a single parent of two children and I had posted a profile on Yahoo personals where this "individual" made intial contact. I received several emails from this individual over the course of approximately 6 weeks. Interestingly enough as I read each email and replied I noticed a pattern wherein very specific questions that I was asking went unanswered - which obviously raised my suspicions immediately. In any event it culminated in an initial request for $1500.00 dollars - which I declined and then another request for $600.00 dollars which I also declined all in the service of completing her visa and buying tickets to the U.S. Also, she requested that the money be sent by Western Union which I also knew was incorrect. A word to the wise for all those men out there watch out for this person[s] I am sure they will resurface. I will post several emails along with photos.

Hello my dearest man on the Earth!!! I'm sorry, that I didn't write you so long time, I have good news for you. I phoned to my parents to home and I explained them all situation. They are very worried about me, that I am delayed in Moscow, and asked me come to home. But I explained them that I love you, and that I want to come to you anyway. Then they agreed to give me money. They saved money all this time for new flat, for me to be able live apart of them, but now I need this money for me to be able live apart of them, but not in new flat but, but in new country with my loved man, and today they have sent me this money. But, regrettably, the amount, which they have sent, is not enough. Parents have said that if we, Joseph, want to live together, we have to trust to each other. They have sent 900 dollars, now it is come short 600 dollars for me. Now do you believe me that I love you and ready for all for the sake of you? My love, you have to send me money as soon as possible, I have to buy tickets here since I have to show their in embassy, together with 1500 dollars, notorized by notary. Loved, I hope on you and wait for your quick answer. I love you!!! Your Yulya!!!

Zhanna Ananeva (Saratov,Russia)

My Name: Micah A., Country: USA, I am a single male of 41 years. Name of Scammer: Zhanna Ananeva, Residence: Saratov, Russia. I send two emails of a scammer. Here is the first one with her pictures. She is from Saratov, Russia. When I first met Zhanna I never thought that it would end this way but it did. I met Zhanna while visiting St. Petersburg in August of 2003. I assumed that she was a genuine person because she said that she was a Christian. I later told me that she was a Mormon. After that we began to correspond by email and telephone. I noticed that she was very evasive and resistant to talk about her family. She did tell me that her father would try to hit her when he was drunk and as a result she wanted her own apartment. I invited her to spend the Christmas holidays in Finland where we would get to know one another more. She communicated to me that she did not have the funds to travel to Finland. I therefore decided to send her the money for her visa and the tickets to travel to Finland and back to Saratov. About two weeks after I sent her the money for her travel and her visa fees, she told me that she was sick with pneumonia and that she needed help with her medicine. She asked me to lend her the money. I asked her if her parent could not help her or her Mormon church. She said that neither the church nor her parents would help her. I found it a bit strange that parents would treat their children like that. The next day she sent several emails desperately begging me to save her. I told her that I could only lend her $ 100 since I was a student and I had expenses. One week later she told me that she had a cell phone where I could call her. I thought, if she had no money where she got the money to buy the cell phone? One week after that she wrote again desperately asking me to send her money for her medicine because her pneumonia had returned. I told her that I had to see where I would get the money because it was a bit hard for me. She was even rude in her request. I dismissed this believing that it was due to language difficulties. She even said that she felt that she was going to die, but she was still working. I told her that she needs to stop work in order for her to recover soon. She promised that she would not work if I lend her the money. I got the money and lent her. I called the cell telephone the next day and it was working. And she had continued to work. There I began to suspect that she was lying and was trying to get money. In fact she was sounding well and not like someone that was sick. I even noticed the before that whenever she would turn on her messenger and would see that I am on she would put on a busy sign. Sometimes she would talk to me for about one or two minutes on the messenger and then would say that she had to go to work but then she would stay for about twenty minutes on the internet. Taking all these things into account I became very suspicious. Then one week after I had lent her the last $100 I received a letter from her friend saying that I should give Zhanna two months salary so that she could rest from her pneumonia. She even told me that if I did not do that I would not have Zhanna and that she would tell Zhanna that I do not want to help her. I found it strange that she would get my email and know about the fact that I lent Zhanna money. She was very emphatic that I give money to Zhanna. She threatened that if I did not do it she would tell Zhanna. If I had any doubts they were gone. I realized that they were trying to scam me. I called off the trip to Finland and asked her to return my money which was $483. As to be expected with a scammer she does not plan to do it. As a result I have written this letter to alert other people about this scammer so that they would not be a victim of her and to protect those genuine Russian girls. These are the second batch of letters and that of her friend. Micah
