Hi my name is Steve and i am a single father, contacted on my yahoo personel site by maria from armenia who shows also to be listed on blackpage267 as avyagyan. I did not send money but would like her listed under this name as well. She is very persuasive, does use form letters as well as personal letters. thanks.


The letters that i received on 23/12/2004 bear a striking similarity to Olga Tregubova (Archangelsk, Russia) that is in Russian Bride Cyber Guide Black list, with some minor cut and paste. I could not find these photos in any black list database. I did an IP search and learned that the e-mail originated from the Mari-el Republic. Cheboksary is the capital of Chuvash Republic. Beware, I think these are new photos, possibly stolen. The girl in photo may be real.

Natasha Furzikova (Orenburg, Russia) natalyana2334@rambler.ru

Hi my name is Jorge a 35 y/o IT Professional who at the current moment is unattached. I was surprised to receive a response from a very old Yahoo Personals ad which I had placed several years ago from Natasha in late December 2004.

At fist it seemed innocent enough like the many initial responses I had had through Yahoo with other people so I had decided to kindly reply back and inform her that I was very long way from where she was from. I live in Australia.

This did not seem to dissuade her so I kept playing along with the letters and with each new e-mail came a lovely new photo.  We corresponded some 4 or 5 times in which she described herself as a teacher and to be an only child in close family.

Although I was never asked for money something still did not seem quite right about this whole e-mail affair after the 3rd letter. So a little Googling and Yahooing and bingo! I see some of the same photo's I was mailed and a very distraught Tim wandering about Natasha.

I have no problems sharing my e-mail experience with this girl and still kinda wonder where it would ultimately lead. Obviously, nowhere romantically with my discovery on this site.She is some piece of work. A very pretty girl with all the right curves, looks and very quick romantic impulse which snowballs into words of love and affection and having children all without having seen me. After things got a little more personal and I had asked her to call me or for me to call her all communication had ceased.

Anyway I thought I would post this up in the event others have received mail from her to be very wary and on guard.

They have got married, when him was 18 years, they were happy, but then my daddy have taken away in army for 2 years and my mum has remained one.I was born when my daddy served in army and when he has returned to me was one and a half year.

Per working days I rise very early, at 6.00 in the morning When I am not rising yet from a bed I think about you and, how it would be wonderful to wake up near to you, kiss and tell you " Good morning, my love! "With this dream I lay in my bed approximately during 5 minutes, and then I go wash and clean my teeth During these procedures I dream of you again and I present you in a bath with the razor in a hand and it raises me very much Then I go to prepare breakfast Usually I drink tea with a lemon, but sometimes I allow myself coffee, only it is not so strong My breakfast consists of easy food, as I do not like to fill the stomach since morning I make sandwiches with sausage, cheese and cooked eggs During breakfast I think of you by all means It would be pleasant to me to sit with you at a table and look how do you eat We would plan, what we shall do together after work After breakfast I go a work in the order I brush a hair and slightly emphasize of an eye by ink I do not use a lot of cosmetics and I do not like to paint the person very strongly It awfully influences my skin At 7.30 I go to my work To a place of my work I reach by a trolley bus, because of I don't have the automobile My work is far from the 30 minutes of driving from my house At 8.00 my working day begins I teach in younger classes such subjects as Russian, literature, mathematics, history, geography and other subjects.  Yes I like to teach children different subjects.

It is not so difficult to work with children, And on the contrary I like to work with children. Because children are gentle and tender, they are honour, hardworking, And fond the parents, grandmothers and grandfathers. They are not spoiled by our difficult life And we should protect them, preserve against various dangers And learn them to live honourly and fairly.

Natasha Furzikova (Saratov, Russia)

I was approached by a women called Natasha Furzikova from Saratov. She claimed to saw my info on Yahoo Personal. I did not have any reason to suspect her until recently since there were not sufficient information in the email for me to be sure she was a scam for sure and I did not want to condemn someone without absolute certainty. After corresponding for about 2 months she asked me for monetary help to get a visa. Then I found out this very good way to check whether someone is a fraud or not. I got this idea from a movie and it mentioned nowadays it is very hard to hide the truth of someone on the internet. Before I have search her name and email address on Google and had no avail, so I thought it would be impossible to find the truth of someone since they can easily use false names and emails. But then very soon after she asked me for money, I thought of cut and paste-ing some of the texts of her email to Google and I was so shock to find out her supposingly genuine words were also found on the internet, so those flowery words were just mass producted poetry!

ANTI-SCAM BY GOOGLE

How : Cut and paste some contents of the emails (not their names or emails since it will return nothing) into Google and see what it will returns! ^_^




Natasha Gabdulina (Moscow, Russia)

I am a 52 year old divorced male in the USA. Reporting these scammers is getting to be a full time occupation! If only I was being paid for it! :) I was first contacted by this scammer on January 17, 2005 through the OtherSingles.com site. The e-mail address used was Gabdulina@inbox.ru. This is the typical money for visa, passport and airfare scam. The total being asked for came to $1339. One of the letters I got (Feb. 4) they had mistakenly addressed to a Jason. (He probably got the one with my name on it.) I didnąt even bother to mention it. What follows are some selected letters and photos.

Marina Rostovtseva/Konovalov Vladimir Aleksandrovich 
(Almetyevsk, Russia)



I am a 52 year old divorced male in the USA. Here we go again! I was first contacted by this scammer on January 20, 2005 through the OtherSingles.com site. The e-mail address used was MarinaRost@mail.ru. This is the typical money for visa, passport and airfare scam. The total being asked for came to $1390 ($1140 after the portion that she was going to pay for). At first they were asking for $470 for the visa and passport. After I pointed out that It shouldnąt cost that much they changed it to $220. This scam stood out because the computer used to send the e-mails to me had the wrong year posted (2003) on the time/date. I had to reverse the order of the letters received in my e-mail and go back to the beginning of the list to find and read these letters. The hilarious thing was that, when I was contacted by the supposed travel agency (LOVING HEARTS - HEART777@inbox.ru) to arrange my payment on her behalf, they also had the same 2003 dates which meant they were being sent from the same computer that was sending the letters from Marina. Also some of the letters coming from the agency would be sent at a late night hour (there time) and often within minutes of the ones I got from Marina. Hopefully those blunders helped to tip off would-be victims. What follows are some selected letters and photos.
