Marina Parphenowa
(Topki, Russia) I am a 45 year old father of two who has been having correspondence with Marina Parphenowa since June 26th, 2007.She contacted me through True.com a personals matchmaking site. I accidentally came across the blacklist while I was researching Russia. As I was going through the list I have found pictures of this very woman that are the same as what was sent to me recently. The name has changed from Olga to Marina. I am sending one pic that matches a pic from the blacklist page 494,OCT. 2, 2006.(Olga Leis). I will also include other ones to aid in others identifying this scammer more easily. Apparently this scammer is still at it. It only took this person 8 days to ask for the money. I am only including the first and last letters to minimize clutter to this site. She just asked for money on the 3rd of July. I have dealt with this before so I won't send any money anyway but I will play them a bit and hope they get caught while doing this. Following are the 1st and last letters to date. Pictures and Id card is also attatched.

I am so glad to see that we are almost near our goal,and our meeting wait for us.
I think I will call you from airport before my flight.
You know I booked tickets on Saturday flight and I will buy them before my intervew.
People from embassy must be sure that I am not going to stay illegally, so I need to buy roundtrip
tickets (with returning date).
I wanted to ask you about electronic tickets but they tell that I can't use because it is their businees to arrange all travel details and they have some extra
money from all the things, you see it is just business.I think that you will be able to help me because I don't know anybody
here and only you are my hope now, I think everything in your hands and I believe that you will not leave me here alone.please borrow some money.
I am sure I will be able to return all your money back after a few weeks,I will get salary and I
will collect the sum I own from you.
To be fair I am not sure I know what to say because I hate to ask but now I have no different way, you see.
Please help me it is only money and much more important if we will meet in person I will do my
best, you won`t be disappoined.
I see that it sounds a little crazy but I can't believe that in the worst case I have to return
home,they all will laugh at me.I think it rests with you to decide and I feel that
you will help me because you are kind.
I have about 300 US dollars yet and I think I need about 950 US dollars from your side with all travel needs and living here till my flight!
(I had 1150 dollars, but flight from Kemerovo, opening visa, medical insurance and all travel needs costed about
800 dollars).
For truth I didn`t expect I will need to buy roundtrip tickets, but now I see that its a very
strict rule.
If everything will be all right between us I can stay with you longer than three
months,maximum I can stay about 6 months for first time!
We should change only the date of my returning flight.and if you don't like me I will live in rent room and won't bother you
and money is money I will return it back in any case.I so much hope that you will help me.
My parents gave me all they had.
Thank you in advance. Maybe i look like the poor outsider but I do hope you
understand my position because it is always there is anybody who needs the help.
I will call you from airport and I will wait for you there as long as you need,I mean if you need any time to arrive in airport.it is not problem for me to wait
because I know that it is the end of my trip and I have time to improve my condition(some perfume)after long jorney.
I want you to see me in good shape!
Kiss you and do hope to kiss you in person so soon. We need to do it pretty fast,you know I ordered
all my documents in advance and you see everything is ready so fast I need only your help because
we have no a lot of time till my intervew, if everything will be all right I will be on this flight!
They have told me that you could make a transfer by Western Union. The manager from the bank
explained to me how system works.
All you need is my name and my surname and address to put on their list. Once you do this, I'll be
able to pickup the money in any local Western Unuion office in Moscow.
My address here (the room i am renting) Country : Russia,
City : Moscow,
Address : Gorkogo 94-11
post code (zip) : 892423
Full name Marina Parphenowa (right writting in English)
In case you will need my passport details I send you a copy of my passport.
After it please write me money transfer control number and I will go to nearest office of western
union with my identification (passport).
Honey I am so happy that we will be together in a few days and I have so many different dreams
about us and our first kiss and .....some of my dreams are so brave i will tell you later when we meet I prefer to say such things in person and I am sure we
will have a lot of fun.
I'm sure we will like each other and we can probably stay together forever! I will prolong my visa
or apply for a green card!
Sorry my parents are paying for the education of my sister, they helped
me as much as they could.
OK! Everybody has difficulties in it's life! You know maybe women in Russia (and me too!) are not
that world oriented...
I don't know how to explain... I've never made any trips abroad... I don't have such experience.
I come from a small city. I'm not a feminist girl, I'm ready to listen to my man and do everything
he tells me. Maybe I'm too old traditioned? I don't know... I'm sure you will help me and we will meet each other and have
a great time together!
When I come to you I will listen to your advises and I will do everything you tell me! You are such
good man! Marina with great hope and many kisses!

I met this girl on an American dating website (match.com). I knew it was a scam after a few emails but I played along as it was fun for me. She still has not caught on that I am playing along but she soon will as she is asking me to send her money for the airline ticket and I have told that I will go online a
purchase the tickets. She goes by the name Natasha or Natalia Mironova and her address is: Russia, the Ulyanovsk area

y Russ, I LOVE YOU!
My parents and friends spoke you HELLO! Mum already asked as us with you affairs with a meeting. I have explained to mum, that everything is all right. On work of problems with a vacation will not be, and my boss has told, that in any day I can go on a vacation.
Today I went in agency of travel.They render set of services. I have addressed to lady with questions and she has kindly answered me all my questions. I have explained, that I want to visit the USA and the first question which she asked me: you were in the USA before?
I have told was not present. You have the passport? I have told YES! But my passport had restriction and now it is necessary for me to prolong the passport. Also she asked my marital status, my earnings, whether I have children, and set of other questions. I kindly answered each question.
I also have explained, that before I went to Europe. After that lady has told to me, that then you will not have a problem with visiting the USA. She has explained to me about a politics of the European countries and also the USA. Each country to care of people which arrive.
They choose from candidates on reception of the visa and do not give the visa to all. Material stability is very important. Also the social status and the purpose of arrival in America.
Lady has explained to me, that I should go to Moscow for reception of the visa. I never was in the USA before and consequently my personal presence at embassy with payment of consular gathering is necessary. I can stay in the USA approximately 3 months or these are 100 days.
Also I should tell, that if I shall send all documents through agency then I should pay much more money. Besides I should go to Moscow anyhow and personally be present at embassy. You understand about it? I looked on that site schedules of work and checked cost of the visa. These are 100 dollars.
I should you tell, that it is rather complex and long process to receive the visa. To me have told, that I have more opportunities to receive the visa. By the way, I should receive the visa of the tourist because it is fast enough and is more cheaper. Besides I believe, that for us now there is no necessity to receive the visa of the bride because it is our first meeting. You agree with me? So, in embassy if I shall prove, that I come back they will allow the visa without a problem. Here in Russia I have good work, my apartment, and proves all this, that I shall come back anyhow. Therefore I can safely go to Moscow and receive my visa!
I have a lot of information for this purpose, except for that I traveled earlier. I know also that it will demand from me time, my forces and money. I have time, I have forces!
I the strong woman and I also have money for this purpose. I should tell also, that I could save approximately 1000 dollars for this purpose. I would have more, but I have paid taxes and also I helped to pay to parents training of my brother. I approximately counted my expenses. I should go by train to Moscow and back.
I should pay also for the visa, for the passport, for many other documents. Also I should live in Moscow in hotel some time and pay for residing and for transport. I think, that I 1000 dollars will be spent for this purpose only. I read on the Internet, that it will be necessary for me to show the ticket back to Russia. Without it to me will not allow the visa.
It has a little afflicted me, because tickets will demand many money. I have wanted to arrive to you and I do not refuse it. I am ready to spend for this purpose my working hours, money and my forces. Because I know, that I want to meet you. I want to be with you. Both of us want it. For this reason I wanted to speak with you about division with me parts of expenses. I want you to ask, that you bought for me tickets aboard the plane. It roundtrip ticket. I think, that it will be fair, because I also to spend many my money and forces and time. You agree with me? I ask you that you bought for me tickets from Moscow up to your closest airport.
I already accepted all things here. I am ready to go to Moscow and to start to take all things. Now if you will help me with tickets I can go tomorrow already to Moscow. By train I very quickly reach Moscow. Tell to me, you will help me with tickets?
You have money for this purpose now? I very much hope, that you will help me. Between us there is a trust and feelings. Both of us want to meet. Also for me it will prove gravity of your intentions. Please, you should not me refuse.
We do correct things and I am confident, that we shall be happy together. I wait tomorrow your answer and if you have money and to me will buy tickets I shall go to Moscow. Write to me it. Excuse me, that I ask you about the help. I think, that it is fair. You know my earnings and you should represent, that for me it is many money.
I do not regret money and I shall do all for our meeting. But I should have your support also. We should be one command and then we shall be happy.
I wait your letter and with hope, that you help me also I shall go to Moscow soon. I love you. I wait our meeting. I want to see you and to kiss. Write soon, yours forever,Natalia.
