Olya Gushina
(Tumen, Russia)
I am a 40 year old, single white American male.
First, your black list saved the day! After reading letters to other poor slobs like
myself, the pattern was crystal clear. I stopped writing then and there...
The M.O. is the same as the others: She contacted me on 11/30/01. She got my
email from AbsoluteAgency. A different photo with every letter. A sob story about her
Father leaving. She kept mentioning "a helping hand".
She had no phone number. She did not answer my questions.
Each letter was more serious then the last in less than 2 weeks. Her letters were 2-3 days apart until I
mentioned her coming to the USA, then I got a 12 hour response. The sting setup
really begins in the last letter, dated 12/8/01, with some crap about her sister visiting
Florida. Clever girl... I didn't stick around for the ending. HEADED HER OFF AT THE
PASS THANKS TO YOU GUYS!!! It's clear that my letters were written by the same
person who wrote many other letters on this blacklist! I guess those poor Russians
got to make a buck somehow boys!

Olya. I live in Russia in city of Tumen. It is the very large country, which to have was
a lot of an opportunity, but as I to think, she(it) to not open yet all potential.
In Russia is all for good life: resources, there is a lot of ground, the clever people, but now there
is a transitive period. The people here trust, that all will be speed well, but for the
present it is not known how many still to wait. Though the people, which want to work
and to have the purpose in life, live happily. There were only people,
which bring up at kommunism and very difficultly to break their stereotype about life, when for you to
do(make) all state. They to not know, that such the market, market
attitudes(relations) and business. You do not think, that I so to divide(share) the
people and to speak so, but it is the Russian reality. I to think what there to know
about Russia and to know our life. I too much to know about your country,

there was a case, which one has inverted completely all my life. I to learn(find out),
that he to begin to receive drug materials(matters). With each day it(he) was more
difficult for all for knowing. Then all this beginning to be combined with alcohol. Both
all my schedules and dreams have failed. We become to not perceive one

narcotic and to drink. I to attempt to him to help, but he to not listen to me. I many
night to cry and to think. And I to decide that all this not for me. I shall not bear(take
out) some more such moment in life. I any more will not entrust to Russian men. I to
not want more so to risk and to fracture to myself life. I to want be is simplly happy
and to live as the normal person. After that I to decide to address to a service of
acquaintances. And I to find you. And we to write one another. And me it very much
to like. I to want be is happy with the man and to conduct with it(him) all life. I to wait
from the man of comprehension, I to think what is it most important and certainly
large love and care of me and about our future monogynopaedium. I shall try to make
he man happy. But without his(its) help, without his(its) love and comprehensions it
will make difficultly. I once again to want to test(experience) such feeling as
love. I very much to hope for it. Therefore I to write to you. I to think, that thee to perceive my
words. I to want to learn(find out) thy judgement on all this. I to think, that it will be

long time to not speak such words anybody. I am ever more and more began to be convinced, that
I to have already attachment to you and already to wait your letters about impatience.
I to not think, that such can take place. But for me it is very pleasant, I to think, that

understanding is very important between the people, when they want to have the
attitudes(relation). Today I to go to the girlfriend with hope to receive your letter and I
was very happy to see it(him). These days at us at home very difficult. We recently to
move on other apartment. It to borrow(occupy) it is a lot of time. We to transport all

important thing in an apartment. I already to want to speak with you till the
telephone and to hear your vote, though I am bad to know English, but it will be dialogue to hear
a vote and to know, that who we. I to think, that till a vote it is possible much to
learn(find out) about the man. How you consider(count)? If I to have an opportunity to
speak with you till the computer, I already for a long time to make it. But
I can only write to you the letter. I shall trust, that I soon to search for a way and we can
communicate till the telephone. Even if it will be some words, but for me it will be very
important! At us now very good weather. This is winter. I am very glad, as this most
beautiful season.. . I very much to love flowers, especially yellow rose. But nobody to
give to me them already for a long time. I to dream, that in such beautiful season I
shall have the love and to go with it(him) till a street with a Yellow rose in hands and
kiss with it(him) long long. It is all will be so beautifully and romantically I
already for a long time to not test such feelings and very much to want to test them!!! But while I
one and to search the companion of life. I to want to continue with you the
attitudes(relation) and I to trust, that all can be very well. Though between us it is so

I am glad that I ran across your site before I got more involved more than I am. I was just getting ready to start spending the cash until now. Here is some more recent pictures of
Oxana Curdiucova, email bestwomen7@hotmail.com. I hope this helps others You do have to say that she is very beautiful though. I could have really fell for this lady.
   
Tatyana Aytova
(Saratov, Russia)
I'm glad that I ran onto your website before I sent any more money to Russia. I'm
a divorced father of two. I posted my profile up on Match.com back in
early October 2001 and immediately began receiving email from
"tanushka123@pochtamt.ru (Tatyana)". They asked for my actual email address,
which I ignorantly gave. I exchanged emails for about 1 month. There was a
new email each day with a different picture. Although the messages stayed
fairly conservative, she(they) eventually proclaimed her love for me. I
received many of the form messages that are already posted on this site. I
also received shorter messages that filled in between the larger form messages. They were very
convincing. They answered some of the questions that I asked, but not all of
them. Just enough to keep me convinced. Eventually she(they) supposedly went
to get a Visa. They then claimed that they only had $50 and needed $300 more.
They begged me to send the $300 Western Union. Which I finally did. I had the
feeling that I was being scammed, but I still took the chance. They claimed that
the Visa would take two weeks, so we continued to exchange messages with
pictures. Then she(they) went to Moscow to get the airline ticket.
She(they) claimed to have an aunt that worked at the airport(same claim made by other
postings on this website). She then asked for $700 for the airline ticket, again by
Western Union. I then knew I was being scammed. I knew that $700 was not
enough for a plain ticket from Russia. I did a web search on "Tatyana
Aytova" and found your website. There was another "Tatyana Aytova" posted
with some of the same pictures that I had received. The differences were her
location in Russia and her email address. Here are the specifics on the
Tatyana that I sent money to: Tatyana Aytova Saratov Russia
tanushka123@pochtamt.ru (Tatyana) I can't remember the street address that she sent me, but it is likely not
real anyway. The final messages contained poems and love letters and did get
a lot more personal, i.e., sexual dreams. I have attached several of the
pictures that were sent to me. Once again, thanks very much for your website, it likely saved me a
lot of money!!!!!!

Tatyana Ershova
(Kiev, Ukraine)
I am single remodeling contractor 38 years old. I have been looking for a bride in
former soviet countries for almost 2 years. I have been taking my time because of
all the strange people that I have run into on the dating sites. Although I have
found 2 very nice ladies that I have been corresponding with for over 8 months, I
must share a story with your readers because I appreciate the info that I have
read on your site. I have not known of your site for long (about a week) and have
not had time to read everything on it yet. I could go on and on with several
incidents that would be informative to readers but this one is the only one that I
had sent money to. She is listed on page 5 as Ekaterina Mykhailova
from Kiev Ukraine. I wish I
could contact the gentleman that submitted that story. I have submitted a couple
of pictures for readers. I could send some of her letters if anyone requests but
there are too many and I would just like to stay with the basics. Like the
unidentified gentleman says she is very, very smart. I am not too foolish but she
really got to me because of the personal nature of her letters. She made me feel
pretty good but I don't think quite good enough for the 200$ that I sent her through
western union. She seemed very nice and we e-mailed about 15 nice letters back
and forth until I thought it was ok to send her the money. (Believe me I am not
easily fooled but I am ashamed of this one.) It was only after that I sent the
money that she changed into a weirdo. I was suspicious because she acted like
she was on drugs or something. Maybe it's because she got the money and it
went to her head and she just turned into a real weirdo. For all I know maybe it
was her brother writing to me and using her pictures. Her brother also seemed to
be ever present as in the other man's letters. She contacted me first through
Kiss.com in April of 2001. We emailed back and forth over the next 2 months
before I sent the money and got suspicious when she acted strange. I did not see
a profile for her and it added to my suspicions. She said that she was 23 years
old and finishing final exams in history at a university in Kiev,
Ukraine. Anyways if you
need other info or if readers would like to contact me my email is:
snowpal_ak@yahoo.com I have ran into many other scammers some that I have
seen posted on your site(most are a little too obvious)l'd really be aware of this
one. Like I say, I have not seen all of your pages. Thank you for having this site.
There are probably many people who do not know about it or are too embarassed
to write. Now that I have found it, I am so thankful for all of the great information
and links to forums for advice. Her info that she gave me was: Tatyana Ershova 04107 Ukraine, Kiev Pugachova 14 Apt. 68 After I already got suspicious she
sent this address: 8 Bubnova street apt. 33 (same everthing else) she also gave me a
phone # but no one ever answered. All her lies eventually caught up to her. She
said the usual stuff, her brother's computer was not working so she has to go to
internet cafe, the 200 I sent was used for her grandmothers medecine, and so on
and now she had nothing to eat etc. I was really starting to get mad when she
requested more money with some really bad stories. When I told her I had none
right now she dropped me like a hot rock. She looked so glamorous in her
pictures that I thought she should be sending me money and not like her claim
that she had nothing to eat. Oh well, I chalk this up as a valuable lesson for me
and I hope that this info helps someone else. Good luck to all you guys. I have
found a very nice lady after all this time and will go see her soon. That is too bad
that there are some bad apples in the batch to ruin things.
