Russian Brides Cyber Guide's "Black List"

Anastasiya Melmikova (Golovinka, Krasnodar Territory, Russia)

Hello, My name is Robert,I am a 45 year old divorced white male American. I am a veteran of the USAF and I am employed as an electronics technician for a company that designs and manufactures devices used for MRI scanning. All of this started when I received an E-Mail from this person on Yahoo personals on June 15, 2005. I thought it was promising and responded to her at the following website: solaris@etabank.com I will attach the initial letters and some photographs. I was able to get an address, though I doubt it's authenticity it is: 354202 Russia, The Krasnodar Territory, Village of Golovinka, The Sadovaia Street 8-2. You already have her on your black list (which I did check back in June and she was not yet listed). She is at page #408. We had since been corresponding and I thought we were in love. All was well until she sent a letter stating that her "dear friends' son" was sick and needed to be hospitalized. She said that they needed a large amount of money to pay for it and that she was going to be $400 dollars short of the funds needed to fly here. I sent her the money via Western Union on the 18th of July, 2005. She seemed very grateful. She then stated that she would be coming here on the 26th of July, 2005 and I checked the itinerary and it seemed to check out. I got another letter stating that the registration department at the airport would not check her in unless she had travel money. She seemed to be in distress and I sent her $850 on the 26th of July, 2005 to get her on her way here and for her to have a little extra money for comfort. I went to pick her up at the airport and she was not there. That has been the last I have heard from her. I have in my possession or at my disposal copies of letters, photographs and western union receipts that I can forward to you. I have contacted several people and agencies already and intend to to much more. I am very heartbroken and have shed many tears of sorrow. Can you help me? I will attach the initial letter, the letters asking for money and some photographs. If you need more, please ask and I will forward them. There are approx. 22 letters and many pictures. Sincerely, Robert E. Branch

Letters:

Hi my love Robert! This letter from "lucky" lady. Why "lucky", not lucky? Last night my girlfriend Anna has visited me. She has been heart-broken, she sobbed. She has informed me, that she had conversation with the doctor who treats her son Ivan. And the doctor has informed that her son Ivan requires complex surgical operation for the kidneys. Cost of this operation of 5 thousand dollars. Anna cried because of helplessness. She has told to me, that she has not enough money for operation. She has approximately 2100 dollars, but she need at least in 3000 dollars (initial payment). Anna knew, that I am going to visit you and that all my savings are intended for a trip to you. I could not look how Anna suffers. In the past to year Anna has lost Sergey, who was her husband and Ivan's father: he has been killed on the Chechen war. I could not allow that she has lost her son. I have taken my money, and we with Anna have gone to hospital. We have paid 3000 dollars, which the doctor demanded (initial payment from 5000 dollars). The doctor has calmed us and has told that soon Ivan will have surgical operation, and all will be good. I think that you would act as well and you do not condemn my act that I have spent money, which intended for a trip to you: children are the most dear that we have in our life. Today I went to visas firm. I was told that my visa was ready at last, (I send you it's SCAN). I was most happy the person at that time. But this firm not only makes visas, it also reserve tickets. I decided to use their service again. I was told that the flight to Gainesville cost 2290.70 USD. It was too expensive for me, and I asked them to find the cheapest variant. And they offered. It would be on the On July 26. And cost 1720.50 USD. I wondered if it was possible to reserve a ticket and to pay for it a part of the money this time and the other part later. But they refused and I was in despair. I asked them to help me so long that tears came to my eyes. And they agreed. I wasted all my money, but it wasn't enough. So I went to pawnshop and pawned silver and gold embellishments, which I had from my Elena. I got 150 USD and that was enough for initial payment. I have paid in whole 1320.50 USD. It was my last money. The number of the flight on which I resevered the ticket is 1:15 pm Depart Moscow (SVO) Delta 31.Arrive Gainesville (GNV) 11:36 pm Delta 4205. It is very difficult for me to tell you about it. But I have done everything I can. I paid visa. I have bought the ticket on a train up to Moscow. I paid a part of the ticket. But this money is not enough. I don't want to burden you. I want to reach you with my own money but unfortunately I have failed. Now I have to pay the remaining part. It is only 400 USD. I must pay this money before July 20; Otherwise I will lose my money. If you love me, if you trust me and if you want to see me soon, please, send the money for the ticket before on July , 20, tomorrow morning. I understand that it is a difficult decision for you, but we must trust each other. Any union without trust is impossible if it is a union of wife and husband or a union of boy friend and girl friend or a union of business partners. I don’t want to be hypocritical. That's why I want to tell you following: I do not think that you would like to give the love to the woman whom you don't trust. So I am. It's a first check for us. And much depends upon it, may be everything. We must trust each other. That's why I was the first who made first step. Step to you. Of course if you don't want you cannot help me. It is bad but not fatal. I will lose my money. IT IS TOO BAD BUT NOT TOO FATAL. I speak so because I am in despair and confusion. Now, when we are divided only with one step, I am afraid. I am afraid that you will not help, and all my diligence will be gone. I love you and I want to be with you and the word of honor, your help is necessary for me. I have not calculated my forces. But together we are much stronger. It is much easier to go through difficulties and barrier together. I want to present you all my infinite love and fidelity. I did not want to ask you. I thought, that I could make all itself. The loneliness has made me strong. I have got used to live without the help, and to rely only on myself. I very seldom address to somebody for the help, but now I ask you to help me. I have made a step forward. Make also you a step towards to me. I hope that has not offended you. I love you and I trust. I know, that you will not throw me now when there is only one step. Tell me Robert, can you help me? If you have an opportunity please help me. I wonder how it is possible to do. There is an International Western Union (by the way, they have a website, called www.westernunion.com). You may send me money using Western Union according GAZPROMBANK

For Anastasiya Melmikova.
To get the money, I should tell the employee of bank your full name, full address, exact amount and some confidential numbers (Money Transfer Control Number), which will be given to you, when you send the money. I love you very much! I think about you Robert every time.

Hi my Robert! I in Moscow, at the airport. I have arrived to Moscow and at once from railway station have gone to the airport. I have decided to have registration at once to not worry tomorrow. I have gone to a department of registration of tickets and the control of luggage. And I have one trouble. I have paid money for my visa. My ticket we have bought together with you. But it was insufficiently for our meeting. The men from Airport Service has told me, that I should have extra money (not less than 800 USD) to get to USA. I have answered, that I haven't extra money, and it was the truth: when I've left my home I've had American visa, air-ticket up to Gainesville, the train-ticket and a little money. They have explained me that extra money is necessary to convince the American Government, that I have money for the return ticket, that I'm a decent girl, and when I will get on the American territory, I shall not become the tramp or the prostitute, and that I should have money for the hotel as any tourist. I have told them, that I really am tourist and I have shown them my tourist visa. But the man has smiled and has told me that he never saw tourists without money. These words have offended me very strongly. I have told them, that in Gainesville I will be met by my beloved man, and that I fly directly to him. I wanted to give them your phone number, but they have refused call to you. Unfortunately your phone number was for them not too convincing argument. He has demanded from me to show him at least 800 American Dollars. And I have answered, that I have no such money. I was confused. I for a long time swore at them. But in any case I should pay 800 USD. When I shall have money, I will receive ticket on nearest flight in this day. Otherwise I will not get aboard the plane. But you should not worry, because I will get this money back, when I arrive to Gainesville. I cannot write much because I use the Internet of cafe. I should spend night in Moscow in a waiting room. It is much more terrible than I thought. Tomorrow I again will take advantage of services of Internet - cafe to receive your letter. My love Robert as soon as possible send me 800 USD. You may send me money Western Union

using Western Union again. It is located not far from the Airport where I am. I am so frightened. I cannot be in Moscow for a long time, because I have no money for a meal and a for the night lodging. I only have slightly meal, which I took from a house for my trip in a train. I should have money as soon as possible because I cannot be in Moscow for a long time. It is so terrible. But I try to keep calmness. Forever love, Anastasiya!

Elena Griaznova (Novocheboksarsk, Russia)

I am 51, divorced, white U.S. citizen, was contacted through yahoo personals, by "elenakiss2005", with a letter which is the exact same intro letter used by scammer "Olga Schekleina", who is already on your Blacklist. This went on for only 1 and a half weeks - no money changed hands. I was suspicious and searched for more information about her "address" and name. (Only in fifth email that she said her last name was "Griaznova", which means "dirty" after all. Yes, it's a legitimate name, too, but it seemed too odd in light of other "facts" that didn't add up - an age that shifted from 34 to 35, absolutely no use for alcohol vs. an occasional glass of champagne... just lots of clues that something was not right.) Finally, I found your blacklist, and saw the same wording used by "Olga Schekleina"! I searched today for elenakiss2005 on yahoo personals, and the user name no longer exists. For now, I'm simply not replying to future emails from "her." I'm curious if I will actually receive anything at the post office box address I relayed to this fraudster. -Harold Fann

Email: egoshina_1967@list.ru of late, before this email address

She used egoshina_1967@land.ru age 38 I am a single man of 50, She mentioned friends and mom and dad and siblings. she was always busy with any of them at different times. She sounded very normal during the 8 months I knew her. Was very nice however she did not always respond to every question I had. For the most part she seemed like she was looking for a better life. I sent her money enough to get plane tickets to the US. . Galina found my profile on one of the many sites I had put it on. She made references to wanting to not live in Russia and I actually asked here if she wanted to live in the US. I had spoke to her for 8 months and we had a great relationship on email, ICQ and over the phone. She did receive the money for airline tickets I sent via Western Union and then after a couple of emails she vanished. She said she had everything ready to leave Samara and then I never heard from her again. Thank you.

They rided all who wished. And little tractor with mini-carriages like train rided kids. Like in ancient. Sensation of merriment and holiday. Only on Monday days off will over, and people will start to work. Also we met there one more friend, and went with her into one of different cafes there. Well, I don\'t pity about time I spent.

Of course I can know about visa and air tickets. How will you prove that you\'re serious, and do not joke? May be later you or I\'ll sorry about this. In the long run, we\'re talking not about visiting restaurant, for example. I hope you understood me correct what I want to say. Wait your soon answer. Sincerely, yours Galina

But probably, as I've read there, I'll get it only for 3 months, and not for 3 years. Becuase I'll go to USA 1st time, and it's maximum time which I can expect. But I think it'll be enough for solving our future problems. Also I can change my visa status and after coming to you I'll be able to make fiancee visa with your help. Visa may be ready during 7-10 days plus time of giving all documents (not more than week or two inclusive). So, in ideal, during this week I can gather all documents, pics and make written statement. And only from beginning of the next week my statement may be started. It'll be hard but possible. And if everything will be ok, during the time while I wait, I can decide problem with my work, and also we can to find best variant for tickets. What's your oppinion about all this things? And also I think I'll be able to pay for it by myself. It'll take about 150USD, and I'll find this sum without your help. Well,I wait your answer. Sincerely, yours Galina

I have the same feelings as you. Impatience and excitation. Every day I wake up and go to bed with this feeling. Realizing that soon we'll be together. At once after ordering tickets there will not be back way. Hurry up!!! Final countdown will start!!!!!! Hope your day began nice. I'll be short because today our colleague has jubilee, and we finished earlier, at the dinner we went to buy gift for her and now we're going to lay the table. She's very good woman, and I'll congratulate her with pleasure! So, don't be offend, but I must go. Send you many my kisses, and wait your answer. Very sincerely, yours Galina

You're right, my honey. I mean about parents. Only we were at the garden again. On Friday I got money, thanks. And then at the evening we went to the garden, sister, me, mom and dad. And only today at the morning we returned. We have holiday today, Independence day. I with friend walked by the city, and then with her and her husband we went out of the city to look at the racing. Reigon championship took place. It was interesting to see race, but there were many cars and track was close to spectators. And weather was dry, so there was cloud of dust. I just took the bath. My white blouse became brown after race. And later I'll go to her with my other friend, she invited us to celebrate holiday. And then I'll come at home, and will go to bed. Also today I'll have day off. Such things happened with me. I understood your request about arrival date. I think tomorrow I'll start. Hope your weather became good, and it there is no lighting. Send you my many kisses an wait your answer. Sincerely, yours Galina

I was very busy these days, and also still busy. This week I leave my work, so, I must finish all my work which I had. You should understand that now I'll have many problems. I'm glad that these problems will be only nice and pleasant. Also I must make farewell party for colleagues. They're sincerely glad for me. Also I knew and ready to do visa. Well, I have many things and not so many time. But as I told you, it's pleasant troubles. I'll write you tomorrow, don't lose me, and know that I'm busy with our troubles. Send you my kissssssss!!!!!! Sincerely, yours Galina

Tomorrow I'll have farewell party, so must prepare for it. Also parents are waiting for me tonight. So, know that I miss you and wait your answer. Sincerely, yours Galina

Thanks for e-mails, so gentle and so interesting. You're right, I'm excited and full of impatience. But I have few time. I couldn't imagine that there can appear so many little but so important problems before leaving. I just returned home, we went to my aunt far from my city. I'll write you later more detail letter, don't lose me, don't be angry with me. As I told you, it's pleasant problems. Kiss you, and will write you later/ Sincerey, yours Galina

I'm here sweetheart. Glad to hear that everything is ok with you. Hope you had nice time during watching old movie. I saw these days 2 films too: "The Bourne Identify" and "The Bourne Supremacy", spy actions, I liked it. Did you see it? Yesterday we again were in garden, had night there. On Tuesday plaster will be taken off mom's leg, and she'll be ok. I'm very glad. Today a the morning I came at home, and was at home till afternoon. Then friends came to me and we went to the lake for swimming and getting sun burn. Do you have lakes ort rivers there? I like water. And about 30 minutes I returned. We swam, played volleyball, and laid under the sun. I feel so tired and so hungry. I put my supper on gas stove and cooking it. Also I took Bingo with us, that time it was the happiest creature in the world. To say that he likes means to say nothing. He didn't leave water absolutely: swam and ran by the shore in water, played with ball, and now, after supper he's yet sleeping. I think that after supper I'll go to bed immediately. I watched weather forecast, and there shown that tomorrow will be rainy day. Bad. How is your weather? Hope you have nice weekend. Send you my kiss and wait your answer. Sincerely, yours Galina

Congratulations with Independence day. Hope you had fun and celebrated it good,a and enjoyed firework. I have good news. I got positive answer for my visa. I'm so glad. One more important step we closer. Perfect!!! I spent weekend at the garden, Saturday, and on Sunday I had night at parents place. May be last time. Tomorrow I think to try to find best variants for flight. And also to look for useful information about air trips in Internet, different rules and advices. In the long run, so far I'll fly for the first time. How is your work? How is ? How is weather? BY the way, what is the approximate weather forecast for your place? What clothes should I take? I think any clothes, and warm, and for heat. We have not fixed weather here, sunny and rainy days change each other. Well, I go to cook super as usual. Luggage is almost packed, and I have to wait last days here. Nice feeling. Miss you, kiss you and wait your answer. Sincerely, yours Galina

I'm here, had troubles with Internet connection. Yes, it's terrible to hear about terrorist attack in London, just turned off TV with report from England capital. Weather is terrible here, it rains yet 2nd day. Tonight planned to spend time in cafe with friend, but it seems to me that we'll stay at home. I'm waiting for her right now. Well, also I have not so pleasant news. I'm about tickets. As I was afraid, price is up. Only not so big. 200USD for one ticket. Bad. The best and nearest variant I found on 14th July, next week. Till this day there are no tickets absolutely. It's flight with stop in London. I can leave Moscow with Russian company "Transaero" till London airport Gatweek. Or Gutweak. Don't know how to spell in English, translate from Russian. And after 3 hours I should take place in plane of American Airlines, flight number is AA 079. So, I break sown after news about tickets. And also now after terrorist attacks to London precautionary measures may become stronger, and this fact is able to have influence on price. But I think the faster I get yet 400USD, than more chances I have for buying tickets in time. Well, I'm waiting for your opinion,. Also don't forget, that we cane return 200USD if I'll stay with you. Send you my sad kiss and wait your soon reply. Sincerely, yours Galina

I'm surprised that you didn't understand my news. In short, I told the next. There is no free tickets till 14th July. Then, price has grown up on. 200USD for one ticket. You know, that if I could, I bought one way ticket. But it's impossible, because in this case I'll be under suspicion as possible terrorist. I think you know laws of your country better than me. And in Russia after yesterday's acts in London precautionary measures are amplification. And it's reflected on price of the tickets. So, I can't do anything. Mother asked one rich friend to occupy money, but that woman will go to vacation to Europe, so I have no chances to find money here. So, think what we can do. I'll try to connect with you later. Send you my kiss too. Sincerely, yours Galina

Glad to hear from you today. Of course as I told you, if it could be possible to buy one way ticket, I could do it. But I can't do it. Your laws don't let to but one way ticket to such persons as me. I mean that I go as tourist. So, 2 tickets and 400USD. But don't forget that we can return 200USD if we return ticket. I'll stay in your place during 3 months, I think this time will be enough for understanding each other and building good relations. I don't know if I'll be able to take tickets on 14th. Because yet I must buy train ticket. But after 14th there is possibility to buy ticket and on 15th, 16th, and so on. The faster we solve this problems, than faster I reserve tickets. I hope you understand me. If you do it tomorrow as you said, I can try to made reservation on next Wednesday. I think 5 days will be enough for me to come to Moscow. So, I wait your opinion. Kiss you strong and wait your answer. Sincerely, your Galina

7-11-2005
I'm here, everything is ok, I got your transfer yesterday, thanks. Today during all day I was with mom, we went to her friend, and then I was in parents place. Just came at home, want to walk with dog, but weather is terrible, it's cold and rains. I think to start reservation tomorrow, on Monday, when all will work after weekend. And yet after some minutes my neighbor must come to me, we agreed about meeting yesterday. So, I'm a little busy. I'll write you al details later, tomorrow or after tomorrow. Don't lose me. Send you many kisses. Sincerely, yours GAlina

Everything is ready. These days were devoted to preparation problems. Now I feel as if I broke mountain, so many things were done these last days. I bought train ticket on Saturday evening. On Sunday afternoon I'll be in Moscow. I sent application for plane tickets for Tuesday, tomorrow I'll get answer. I think on Tuesday I'll be able to leave Moscow!!! It's main news for these days. I'll write you after tomorrow, before leaving my place. Now I must go to mom, she's waiting for me. Send you many my kisses and will write you later. Sincerely, yours Galina.

Irina Chernenko (a_k_a_ Anna Shabunina) (Sangar Yakutsk Russia)

Unlisted address (given to me by her): Russia, Sangar, Lenina street 22-54. From the city of Yakutsk

Hello there, my name is Rommel from Phoenix Arizona. I was contacted by the individual from an ad on Yahoo (singlewoman1970@yahoo.com). I began to write to her for two weeks. After reading much of the information about what to look for in scams, I was concerned and began to realize that she was scamming me when she began to ask about visa to meet me for her birthday. I researched from the previous listing on russian women site and found her listed. The correspondences are similar to others that were posted. BE AWARE of this individual!!! She seems to be mentioned over a long period of time with different known alias. I sent no money to her, but began to ask her direct questions. The letters ceased immediately. Thanks for taking the time to post my story. Sincerely, RDN

And I too have decided to try. My girlfriend has found the husband in Internet. He is from Germany, they have found each other and now they are happy together and they live in Berlin. I also want to be happy with my special person. I want to love and I want to find the person, which will love me. I want to be happy and to find the love.

Letter 2:
Hello, How are you? I am sorry if I didn't respond to you at once but you see I have no computer at home and I have to go to the Internet cafe which is located not far from my home. I think that first of all I should say thank you that you responded back to me and I guess I need to explain to you at once that I live in Russia, in Sangar city. This city is not far from Yakutsk. It is a very nice and small city. I should say that I have never been to the USA but I think that USA is a good country with nice people and traditions. Actually in my profile it says that I am from the USA. I hope you are not very sad about it. When I was putting my ad I guess I have done a few mistakes because this is my first experience in Internet datings. I want to be honest from the whole beginning and that is why I want you to know that I am from Russia. I think I have to tell you more about me and my life here. It is pretty hot here today, it is about 25 centigrades above zero and what about your place? Is it warm or cold there? I decided to put my profile on yahoo because I a very lonely here in Russia and I just couldn't find that special man for me here. I know that many Russian women also found their love somewhere in other coutries and in the USA so I am here now also trying to find my love. By the way one of my friend used to find her husband on yahoo also and now they live happily in Germany in a small city not far from Berlin. And I also want to be happy with someone special for me, and who will love me. And age doesn't matter for me at all, the main thing is to be happy and find love. I told my friends that I am going to write you and they support me because we all wish each other only happiness. I think you want to know about my family, well I have never seen my mother because she died borning me. I was brought up by my father who has gone this summer, he was a good Policeman and he was shot. So I am alone now because I was the only child. As you see now nothing holds me now in this country anymore and I try to find my love. You must be intersted in my likes and dislikes and etc. So here is some more information about me:
- I am a surgeon and I work in a city hospital ( I have a doctor diploma from the Medical Academy).
- I am a Christian
- I like white lilies
- My favourite color is blue
- My favourite music is classical
- I love pets and anymals
- I have no kids and I have never been married.
- I love cooking and my favourite food is Italian and Russian one. My best dish is lasagna.
- I have a driving license but I have no car
- I like to go to cinemas and theatres but I don't like disco because it is very noisy there and it is always overcrowded.
- I don't smoke and I drink socially ( for example a glass of red wine)
- I don't have tattoos or piercings exept for my ears.
- I don't like winters though it is very hot now in Russia.
I guess that is all for today and I hope you didn't get tired to read my email. Please write me more about yourself, your likes and dislikes... Unfortunately I have to go home now since I have to do some housework for today. I very much hope that you will write me back today or tomorrow and I will try to reply to you at once... Your friend from Russia, Irina

Letter 3:
Hello my dear XXXX, How are you today? I am very glad to see your email. And would like to see as many pictures of yours as possible, because its very interesting for me and I would like to get to know you better. Your reply made my day. I am happy to read your emails. I think we have a lot of common and I like it very much. I think we are becoming more closer to each other. I've chosen your profile because I like you very much, when I read your profile I think you are very interesting person. And I have a feeling I was always looking for you. Recently we celebrated my friend's birthday and I felt so sad because her boyfriend was with her. They were kissing and hugging each other. She got a great bouquet of flowers...I hope that my birthday will also celebrate with my beloved who can be my one and forever. Could it be you? By the way I have something more to tell you about me. I didnt tell you that I like travelling. I have been in Moscow a few years ago with my friends. Also I have been in St.Petersburg. It was wonderful to go sightseeing and very interesting. But unfortunatly I had no chance to visit any foreign country. Some more information about me:
- I have blue eyes
- I am 5'6 height
- I am 55 kg weight ( unfortunately don't know how much it will be in your measurement system)
- my sizes (93-63-92 )in cm.
I have already told you that I work as a surgeon in a city hospital.I do different operations.
But I earn not much in our country. About $200 in your money per month. I do think it is a small salary but all doctors have low salary in Russia. I was attending courses of English for a few years already and I like this language, though I have never spoken in English with someone who is from English-speaking country. Anyway you can see the level of my knowledge in English by my letters because I write them without any translators. Today is 20 digrees above zero( this is a teperature in Celcius), and tomorrow I am going to go outside with my friends for BBQ. I t should be funny. By the way, do you like camp? So strange, time flies so fast...I will be 36 years old soon. My birthday is on 20th of July.Can you believe it!!!. But I should say that I don't want to spend it, because I always wanted to celebrate it with my life partner. That is my dream and I hope it will come true one day. You know, now I am very sad that you are so far away from me, cause we couldnt be together on my birthday. I have one more dream, a dream to have a family, to take care about my housband. Its all I want in my life, i just want to be happy as a woman. And its doesn't matter in what kind of country my future husband is living. I will be next to him, and I will find any job I can to help have a good style of life. I guess that is enough for today and I would like to ask you a few questions:
- what are you going to do this coming weekend
- what did you do for fun
- what do you feel about such relationships as we can possibly have.
I will be waiting for your reply with great impatience. I have to run for my work right now... Goodbye for now Yours, Irina. XOXOXOXO

Letter 4:
Hello sweety!!! How are you today? How is your weekend? I hope everything is ok. I am very happy to read all your letters for me. Your letters makes my day. And my friends are also happy to see that we are in our correspondence. I have to tell you that you make my life full of happiness though I cannot write you every day since I am very busy. And now I know that there is somebody who is thinking about me and now I am not alone. Thank you for that. And I dont want to put my profile on american singles again since I dont want to see other emails, just want to corespond with you only. I dont know why but I liked your profile at the first sight, I can't explain it, its difficult to explane for me. Anyway I am really happy that we can talk with each other and share our thoughts, it makes us closer for each other. I told you we were going with my friends to go outside for BBQ but two fo my friends got flue and we didn't have BBQ. I wish you could be here with me right now because I don't like walk alone. That is why I am in internet cafe now and writing this letter.I know that I didn't respond to you at once but I had a lot of work. I dont know what else I can tell you about me. I feel that you have already know all things about me. I have fillings as if I know you for a very long time. By the way the day before yesterday my friends and I went to the cinema it was "National Treasure". You should see it if you still didn't se it, cause its very good movie. As for me I want to hear your voice very much, but I dont have a phone at home and you can't call me but if you want you can give me your number (please inlcude country code and zone area) and I will try to find a way to call you as soon as I can, it will be great, but I don't know how it will be because I have never spoken to anyone in English before . Speaking about our time difference, I am +9 GMT. Its very difficult to use messenger because of time diffrence, and I told you that I don't have computer at home. You know , when I stay alone evening Ii am thinking about our first meeting, how it can be, I imagine when you see me in the airport and give me flowers, take my hand and kiss me and we go to your home to celebrate my birthday. It will be the best gift on my birthday in the world.Or you can visit me and we will celebrate it here alone, only you and me.I am thinking about it all the time. Can you imagine it or not?. What do think about it? By the way what is the closest airport to your place? Mine is located in Yakutsk. I cant stop writing this letter cause I like it very much, but I have to do some housework and need to go unfortunately. I hope you are thinking of me as much as I am thinking of you and sending pictures for you. I hope when you see them you will think about me, Bob Ok, I wish you good day and week-end!!! Kisses for you!!! From Irina Chernenko with love!!! ( This is the one lady listed on your site as Anna Shabunina) Russia, Sangar, Lenina street 22-54.

Irina Korotkova (Kemerovo, Siberia, Russia)

Hello All, I am a single professional, 31 year old guy, from USA. I use the internet to meet some additional people, for dates, or just chat. I corresponded with Irina for bit over a month. She basically asked for the money for Visa, airfare etc., through Western Union. I had a posting on the internet site, believe it was a match.com, when Irina, listed as supposedly from Chicago, initially contacted me. Then, after I asked her about it, she didn’t write for a while, just to contact me later on saying where she was really from. She sounded very “sweet” and I decided to just play along, to see what it would turn into. I never intended to send the money etc., and suspected scam from the beginning. As a decoy, I even suggested, how about we met in the charming city of lovers “Prague”, saying it would be better than to meet here etc., basically getting her to write back, while not sending money, despite repeated requests. In good humor on my part, and her being serious about getting the money, I had fun getting the invaluable experience. Guys, don’t allow your good intentions to fool you. As some of you have experienced it, and some will run into it, these girls are using your good natured intentions, desire and sincerity to find a girl, to clean you up. If they are honest, they won't be setting the rules of the game, and would be more open to genuinely meet. As they say, if there is a will, there is a way, the right way. Money doesn’t grow on trees here, and as we know, we work hard to earn it. And, should work even harder on spending it wisely. Some guys get cleaned out for everal thousand dollars. For this much, much better arrangements could be made than just forking the dough over to them, with no strings attached. I am writing this letter to show that this girl keeps doing the same thing, although, she does tailor her letters a bit (from the standard) for each guy, depending what she gets asked. She has been reported before by the guy named Jerome.

Her address: Irina Korotkova, Mayskaya 15 str.-,12 apt., Kemerovo, 650044, Russia. Regards, Gino from USA.

Letters:

HI lost the initial e-mail, but this is a second one -
Hi, dear Gino!!! How are you? How you celebrated your Christmas and new year? I should say I am really very sad and upset. There is no letter from you. Well, perhaps you are not interested or may be you are just very busy with your work. You can name me Ira or Rina. This my short name. So everyone name me. Sorry, that I have not written earlier. But I have arrived to city only yesterday. I have met very cheerfully New Year. We sang songs much and had fun. Only weather was very cold (-30C), therefore we few bylina to street. Our camera because of it has broken. When we wished to make a photo in the street. Therefore we do not have photo of this new year. But it has not upset me. I very much waited this moment to write to you the letter. I didn’t have a goal to find someone abroad. I just came to the internet cafe to find some necessary information and saw you. And I decided why not to try? Perhaps that is a chance for both of us? I can’t say that all men in Russia are bad. There are good and bad people in any nation. But most of Russian men are very spoilit with women. And they don’t care about our feelings. Sometimes they are very rude and the main problem here is that they drink too much alcohol. And I dream to find a caring, tender and understanding man. And at this moment in my life I have to take care of myself alone. I work as a waitress to survive. Though I am a teacher in a primary school by profession, I have to work in the restaurant. It is hard to find a job on the profession and even if I have one, I will have a very small salary. I worked for some time as a teacher in the local school. But my salary was so small that I even couldn’t pay my bills. But in spite of it, I enjoyed my work. I like to work with the children. They bring joy and happiness into our life. I speak English rather well as I have been studied in the Institute for 5 years.. I would like to ask you. Why do you look for a woman? I think you are a person with a big heart and open soul and you shouldn’t have problems with it in your country. Well, I hope to hear from you very soon. Please answer my letters during 2 days if it is not difficult for you. I shall write to you in a day. Irina.
P.S. I will try to send you my pictures with each letter if there are no problems with the scanner in the internet cafe. One of a photo which I have attached, is made before new year, the camera has not broken yet.

Hi, my dear Gino, That is such a pleasure to get letters from you. You just can’t imagine what I feel when I see that there is a message from you. It is always so nice to get more and more about you. I have no naked photos!!! Internet is a very good invention. It gives an opportunity to meet your soulmate even being on a distance. I would like so much to meet with you in real, to see your eyes and to sink in them, to feel your warm touch... Well, this is a dream, a very sweet dream. Perhaps, I could come to your place one day... Who knows what life prepares for us. I am not the kind of person who likes to waste time. I never feel bored and you will be able to feel this with me one day. I want every day to be a celebration. I know that life is difficult and that’s just impossible. But my beloved man will feel that every day for him is a holiday. I will do my best for it. I am fond of cooking and you know, I am rather good at it. I will cook something tasty for you one day if we meet and we will enjoy our time together. As for my other interests, I am fond of reading, watching movie ( I prefer comedies and love stories ), music ( I like country music very much and also some pop singers like Madonna ). I like to meet my friends and spend time with them or go somewhere to the countryside. I wish you could experience this with me. I am a very active and energetic person. And I like red color very much, that is a color of passion and love. Tell me, please, about your likes and dislikes. I will be waiting forward to your letter. Have a good time. Irina. P.S.The photo are made in the summer. It was at night. I and my best friend Natasha walked along the street. There there was children's swing. We played the fool and photographed each other. It is sometimes interesting to recollect the childhood. You so do not consider?

Hi, sunshine Gino!!! That is such a happiness to see a letter from you. I realized that I was smiling when I noticed how people in the Internet Cafe looked at me. Internet Cafe here is just a place where different people who don’t have their personal computers come to find some information or to write a letter as it is in my case. They just pay money and feel free to use computers as long as they want. It is so easy for me to write you like I have known you for ages. I can tell you everything and have a feeling that I can trust you. Though I am rather picky about people and it is not easy for me to trust. I feel that I can do it with you. I can be sincere and open with you like I am. I hate lies and when people are dishonest. I would like to ask you what you think about treachery. In my opinion that is awful and it hurts so much to know that a close person lied to you. I will never hurt anyone like this. And hope to get the same in return.. Would you like to get to know a little about my city. It is very cosy and green. We have beautiful parks here. It is so romantic to walk there when the stars are shining and when your beloved person is together with you. Are you a romantic person? Do you like animals? As for me I just adore dogs. They are very faithful and give you their love without any conditions. Now I have no what animals because I have no time. On a photo I on a horse, but I am not able to go. It was in village. I have sat down, only to be photographed. Well, I will close here for now and will be waiting for your next letter impatiently. Have a wonderful day! Irina.
P.S. You know I would like to send you a handwritten letter and some surprise. Hope you don’t mind? That’s why I need your mail address. Please, send it to me next time. Ok? Here is my address if you would like to do the same. But please do not send me expensive things, Russian mail is unreliable also it can not reach me! As do not send me perfume, flowers or any other things with a pungent smell. I have an allergy on these smells. I do not wish to lay in hospital because of it. Address: Irina Korotkova, Mayskaya 15 str.-,12 apt., Kemerovo, 650044, Russia.

Hi, my sunhine Gino!!! What is wrong? There is no letter from you today? Hope everything is fine with you. I worry about you when there is no letter. I have one request for you. Can y ou send me some favourite pictures of yours? I would print them and hang on my wall to see you every time I get up and go to bed.. You already know that I have the best friend. She is Natasha. It did all my photos which I send you. I have attached one sexual a photo. I hope, you do not consider it vulgar? It is made last summer. Other photo is made, when we played bowling in the summer. I like to play this game. I did it only 3 times. But very much it was pleasant to me. I had a wonderful dream last night. We were there together with you. It was a beach somewhere on a beautiful island. There were only two of us. Just you and me. We even didn’t talk. We were holding our hands enjoying the calmness of the moment. That was great. We were so close to each other. I was the happiest woman in the word as the man of my dream was with me. That was a wonderful feeling and I still feel that passion and love I had inside of me. Do you have any fantasies or dreams? You can tell me if it is not a secret. I have a feeling that you are the one I can create a strong and happy family with. Would you like to have children? I think this will be a mutual decision. My husband will always be on the first place for me. And if he doesn’t want to have children. Well, I will do whatever he wants. Take care, dear and write me your thoughts. Irina.
P.S. Has forgotten you to ask. I wish to do pirsing in the stomach. How you think it sexually? It is necessary to do it?

Hi, dear Gino!!! Thank you so much for your letter!!!!!!!!!!!! I was in a low spirit today. I feel tired. I work for 9 and more hours a day. And I have to be patient with our clients which is not easy always as they can act in a very rude manner. I get for about 64 dollars a month( if to convert roubles in dollars ). Paying all the bills I have very little money left that’s why I am not able to buy my own computer. And I can’t write you letters very often as I have to pay for every letter I get and send. Sorry for complaining, dear. Hope you ynderstand me. My parents were both Russian. I have never been married and have no children. I had a boy-friend but he left me. I do not like to talk about this and I will tell you about it one day. I see that you are really looking for your second half. Is it true??? I am looking for my second half. And I really think I will be a faithful and kind wife. I had only one man in my life and we had intimate relations. And I was very faithful. But he betrayed me and parted with him. But this is a long story and I will tell you it later. Ok? Your letter uplifted my spirits. I feel much better now after reading it. Can you tell me more about your country. I am interested in everything what is connected with you. I feel so vulnerable here and even miserable sometimes. People are so cruel and rude. And I am so glad that I have you in my life. You are so smart and understanding. I want to say thank you! Just for being my friend and being in my life. I have not attached for you a photo because I go from work and I have no with myself a photo. I shall send you next time. I promise. Miss you... Irina.

My sunshine Gino!!! First I want to apologize for my letter yesterday. I shouldn’t complain to you. But you are such a dear person to me and I feel that you understand me. In any way, I will not do it any more not to bother you. Your letters became part of my life and I appreciate so much your support. It is not so easy for me to trust anyone. Once I was betrayed with a very close person and it hurted me so much. I was in love but he cheated to me and left me for another woman. It was so painful. But it is already in the past. And we should live with the present. Especially now when we have each other. Though we have only letters but I hope that you can trust me. We already know each other though only through the letters. And I like so much what I see and know. You are a great person and you are the best what I have in my life now. And I feel that I can trust you and hope you will not lie to me... I am 28 years old. I studied English at University!!! You know, I often imagine us together holding hands, doing some things together. And I think that it is already the time when we can think about meeting. I could come to you to be with you and to see what it is like to live in your country. That is a very serious step. And getting visa for me will take some time. Life is short to waste time. And if you want me, I could come for 10 0r 15 days. But it depends on you. I could Stay for longer if you want. If it frightens you, I shall arrive only as the visitor!!! That is a chance for both of us. And I think we should use it. If you like this idea, we can talk about it seriously. Thinking about you... Irina.

Hi, dear Gino!!! It only the fast letter. I at all do not know you have written to me or not because did not check mail. I shall do it tomorrow. Because now I have only 2 minutes. I should go to work. I only wish to inform, that today I have made one more sexual photo with Natasha. I shall send you it tomorrow. I think it to like you! I shall search for your letter in a box tomorrow. Write to me answer to yesterday's my letter if you yet have not made it. I miss you!!! Irina.

My dear Gino, I have been thinking about you the whole night and morning today. I was not able to sleep. I have so many thoughts about you and us in my head that it drives me crazy. I can’t recognize myself and it seems to me so unreal. But I feel it, really feel it inside. I can’t live without your letters. Every day is like torture for me when I can’t read a letter from you. I want to be with you, I want to feel you with every part of my body. I want to kiss your lips, your eyes, your hands. I want to make love to you, I want to be with you when you are sad and happy. I want to hold your hand when we sleep. I want to cook breakfast for you, to spend weekends with you, to wait for the time when you come from work. I want to have family with you. I want to have “US”. To be one whole. What is it? I think I LOVE YOU!!! Please, don’t be scared with my feelings. I just can’t pretend. I love you and I want you to know it. My love is so big that it is enough for two of us. I want you to love me so much. I even feel physical pain as I want to be with you now so much. I wish to get into the plane right now and to appear into your hands... I have no friends who went in your country. I got to know, dear, that I would be able to get a tourist visa to come to you. That is just a matter of time. I will have to do some paperwork to get visa, to pay for it and to buy air tickets. I will do all the paperwork without problems. The only thing that worries me is money. You know that my salary is not big. And I hope you will be able to help me. I hope so much for your understanding. Please, let me know what you think about this. Today I have attached a photo. This is sexual. I have closed the person. Because I do not want, that allocate it if the photo casually will not get to you. And will get in Internet to other people. I hope, you understand it. Love you, love you, love you... And so awfully miss you!!! Irina.

Dear Gino, Perhaps that was not right from my side to be so sincere with you. But I don’t want us to have any secrets from each other. We shouldn’t hide our feelings. I understand it is difficult to believe in this. But this happened and I can’t change anything. I like this feeling and I want you to feel it also. I know some people who have found each other through the Internet and they are very happy now and they have their own families. This is what I also want. If we also want to be happy we should make some attempts. I could come to you at any time and spend with you for about a month ( or stay forever if it is in our destiny ). If it doesn’t work for us I will go back home. Of course, I can’t do everything alone and I need your help also. We should decide it together. Please, let me know what you think about it. I went to the tourist agency and they gave me all the information about visa. And also they told me how much I should pay. It will cost 198 dollars. It is the cost for the passport for going abroad, for the medical exam and for all the paperwork. But I need your help, sweetheart. Hope you can do this for us, for our possible family. At the agency they told me that the best way to send money is Western Union or Money gram. I visited the local office of WU and they gave me this information: Money transfer: 198 dollars. Money amount should be send in words or figures. You should write the full name of the receiver and receiver's full address. You will need my full name for this: Irina Korotkova. I need the full name of the sender and full address ( I will need it ). It is also necessary to know MTCN ( Money Transfer Control Number ), it consists from 10 digits and Expected amount. Dear, I hope we will be able to manage with all this. Be sure, I will do everything for us. Hope to hear you very soon. Miss you. Irina.
P.S. You can send money to any Western Union of my city.

My darling Gino, This is not the most pleasant thing to talk about. But I have to. I understand and listen to you. But you should also try to understand me. I do everything what depends on me. Perhaps, you know that many people want to leave Russiaand all of them need to get visa. And if I don’t pay nobody will look and pay attention to me at the Embassy. All the paperwork will be done rather quickly but only when I pay for visa. That is the only problem I have at the moment. And I need to pay for visa in some days. If we don’t, we could forget about my coming to you as the time will pass. I want to see you so much and I hope you can understand me... My weigh is 58(120f.) kg. My height is 167(5.5f.) centimeters. I am able to get visa for 1 week. It will be very fast!!! And it will be valid 3 months. I would arrive to your place as soon as I get visa!!! Or we can do it in the way which is more convenient for you. But you should understand that I ask you for money as I have a very good chance now to get visa without any problems. In other case I willl be not able to get it for long time. And we will not meet with you then. You can send money through Western Union:
ALFA BANK
OSTROVSKOGO 12,
KEMEROVO, 650099, RUSSIA.
It is not far from the place I work. I need only $198. My full name is Irina Korotkova. I have met you. I love you and I don’t want to lose you now. I just can’t... Please, listen to me. That’s shame for me and I feel so confused to ask you this. But you are the only person I can ask for this. You know that I have nobody in my life except you. My sweetheart, please, do something. You know how I appreciate you and I need your help very much. I do it for you, for US, for our future Relation with you!!!! You are the only hope I have. I will understand everything and will try to overcome it but in this case we will lose the agency we have now. I love you and I hope so much for your understanding. Wait for your reply.

My darling Gino, I not from agency!!! "lunanochka"?? I have not understood what is it? I have not understood your question? I need only $198 to come to you. I don’t rush things. I just have a very good chance to get visa rather quickly and I don’t want to use this chance. But I don’t have money for this that is why I ask you for your help. The visa is given for 3 months. That is our chance, that;s why I ask you to send me $198. If I don’t get money now, then it will be very difficult to do it. This process is getting more and more difficult with each day. Embassy makes new rules every time and they are very strict. That was a wonderful dream. It was so colorful and bright. I fell asleep yesterday thinking about you, with a smile on my face. And you were there in my dream. I was the happiest woman in the world as you were with me, the man whom I love so dearly. We were in a beautiful place. I think I can call it paradise. You were holding me and I was kissing you softly and then faster and faster. I was kissing your eyes, your neck, your arms, every part of your body. Your skin was so tender and manly at the same time. You put away my clothes and I felt your skin with my naked body... It was such a feeling which I can’t express with the words. It is getting so hard for me to wait for the time when I see you at last, when I am able to touch you in real and to feel that intimacy. I get so excited and that is your fault, honey. Miss you so badly Irina.

Sweetheart Gino! I can’t live without music. I can listen to everything from pop to classical music. I want us to meet very much to see if we are good for each other. I want to have a family with you very much and we should get to know each other closer for this. We will built our own world !!! As ancient greek tsar Odissej and his wife. They have started with small. But then he became tsar, and his true and clever wife always was near him and was faithful to him!!!! I want to have the same world. That is what I want now most of all. If you decide that I am not good for you, I will immediately go back to Russia. Please, understand me! I am able to get visa for 1, 2 or 3 months. This depends on the Embassy. This time is enough for us to get to each other better. I want to come to you not to marry you but you get closer and to see if we match each other. But if I don’t pay for visa now, I will never get it then. I will come to you as soon as I get my visa. Or at any other time which is convenient for you. You should understand that I ask for money now as I have a chance to get visa without a problem. Now I have only a week, or to me will give up in reception of the visa! And later I could not get it. And in this case, we will not be able to meet. I want you to know that I love you so much and never forget about this. I never thought I could have such feeling. It is so strong that I can't keep it inside. It is such a happiness to know that I love and that there is a person who also loves me and waits for me as much as I do. All we need now is to wait for some time till we are together. I want so much to be with you. I have been waiting for you all my life. And I love you. I am not afraid to tell you this and I am not afraid of my feelings. I know that you are the man who makes me happy. And I know that I can also make you happy. I am sure everything will be Ok and we will be happy with you. Love you, love you. Wait for your letter. Irina.
P.S. I wanted to send you 2 photos, but the scanner in Internet cafe to break. The manager has told, that the new scanner will bring only in 1 week. I cannot send you a photo in this term.

Sweetheart Gino! To me will not give the visa if I shall not pay within the next few days. My father’s name was Vladimir. My mother’s name was Tatyana. They died several years ago into a car accident. Yes, I have the friend from embassy! But I shall not tell its name. I do not want its dismissal! I want you to know that I love you so much and never forget about this. I never thought I could have such feeling. It is so strong that I can't keep it inside. It is such a happiness to know that I love and that there is a person who also loves me and waits for me as much as I do. All we need now is to wait for some time till we are together. I want so much to be with you. I have been waiting for you all my life. And I love you. I am not afraid to tell you this and I am not afraid of my feelings. I know that you are the man who makes me happy. And I know that I can also make you happy. I am sure everything will be Ok and we will be happy with you. Love you, love you. Wait for your letter. Irina.

My sweetheart Gino!!! I feel so bad being apart with you. You are not going to help me with the visa expenses? Am I right? I am so sorry and upset to hear this. Such a pity. Without it I will be not able to pay for visa and come to you. If I don’t pay till Friday they will just refuse me with it. In this case we will be not able to meet. Next time I will be not able to get visa. I really wanted us to meet and I am was sincere in my intentions. It hurts me so much but I can do nothing. This was the last chance for us. If I don’t pay for visa soon, I will not get it. Only thoughts and dreams of you help me to go through the life. I need you, need your hands holding me, need your sweet and tender lips telling that you love me. You are my joy and my dream. I want so much to make you the happiest man in the world. I want to love every part of your body, to kiss you everywhere, to touch your skin with my lips. I want us to sit near the fire - place cuddling and kissing. I want us to walk along the beach, to cook breakfast together, to stay in bed for 24 hours.... I have so many dreams about us. Oh, how I want to be with you right now!!!!! I really want to meet you so much. And we had a chance. I could come to you very soon. But I have no way. I can’t pay for visa myself. I feel very sorry.... Irina.

My dear Gino, What can I say? I feel shame and upset. But that is life. I can’t make you believe and trust me. And I can understand it also. I can’t change anything here except one thing... You know how I love you and I need to see you by all means. I want to prove you and myself that it is real. I want to make you believe in me. I will try to find money. Don’t worry about this any more. I just can’t lose you . I don’t want to give up and I will not. I have friends and I will ask them to borrow me money. I will try the way to give them money back later. I am ready to have three jobs to find money. I will do everything just to be with you. The only thing I really need to know that you still need me in your life. I want to break this distance between us. I want to love you, to take care of you. You are the man I love and every wall on my way will be broken with my love. Just write me and tell me that you still want me in your life. Missing you Irina.

Sunshine Gino, I have not enough time. Therefore I shall write the most important. I want to meet with you so much, to see you at last. I will come to you for about 10 or 15 days. Please, understand that I don’t have a goal to get married. I want to see if we really can be together. I have started the process of getting visa. I will pay for it. And as soon as I get visa, I will come to you, if you don’t mind and if you want to see me. In any way, it depends on you, of course. I will come at any time which is convenient to you. Irina.

Honey Gino, To you to solve, wish me to see or not. I feel so nervous and so excited. I’ve got a letter from the Embassy. They invite me for the interview. That is the last step before I get visa. That is not a problem. I will fly to Moscow tomorrow. As soon as I get visa, I will buy tickets and will get on a plane to get to you. I am so happy. Only in some days I will be able to hold you. Can you believe in this? I still can’t believe this happiness. That’s great!!! Please, tell me the nearest airport I should fly to. Also I need to know where you will meet me. I don’t want to be lost in a foreign country. You see our dream comes true. I am so happy and you? I will be not able to sleep. I want all these procedures to be over as soon as possible. I want to be with you!!!!!!! I will let you know about all the results. I love you... Irina.
