I am a white American, 45 years old, divorced. I wrote to someone at
Yahoo Personals, who wrote back to me, but whose profile was deleted the same day we began
correspondence. I found that strange (and also strange that I never got an answer as to why). So, I
approached this one with caution, and let it play out to see if it was the typical visa/ticket
scam, and if money would be asked for. After about a month and a dozen letters, it was...!
Very early on, I setup a new yahoo account, and initiated contact as
someone else. "She" wrote back immediately, and I began receiving an identical set of letters to that account, literally identical! I cut
that off after the 10th letter or so. There was no question by then that
it was a scam).
I also searched the blacklist, and found a person who looks very like
this one, but posted a little over two years ago under a different name!
(Search for Larisa Gordeeva.) This one is a serial scammer!
I continued the correspondence long enough to get her "western union" contact details. I have since stopped
corresponding completely.
I have notified Western Union of the details.

16th letter:
Subject: Hi loved!
Hi my dear! Sorry, that i yesterday was absent for you. I have been very much tired with my work and hardly got home. I
has lain on bed to have a little rest, but have
fallen asleep and woke up only in the morning. Loved, I was very glad to receive
your message. Thanks, that you answered on my sexual ideas. To me was it is
pleasant to read your ideas about me. It is pleasant for me to read your words and to find out, that I
involve you. Dear, I miss you. I very much want to embrace you and to nestle my body to you. I often
present as we for the first time see each other. As we carry out together our night. I think, that we
will not sleep this night. I shall try, that you did not forget it never and I hope, that you will make
too it for me. We shall make a break only for coffee and sandwiches. Also, lovely, i wanted to
take a bath with you. We could rub a back each other and still something. I very much wait this time and I
am glad, that it is necessary to wait already a little. I often think of things which we can make
with each other. I think about it in full details. I do not write these details to you, my confusion does
not allow me to write it. I stop my ideas that there was no big excitation. I have good imagination.
Even now I have some shiver in my body. well well well i stop now this theme in my message. Now about main
.... I shall inform to you some news which I learned from the agent. He informed me, that they do
not accept, for payments, bank moving of money to the account, from private persons.
They accept such payment only from the organization at travel by groups. Therefore I should make the second part of
payment by cash. The agent has told, that in our city some banks are engaged in moving of money from
other countries. He has told. That they make it quickly, it demands for them about one day. There are
in our city some systems for moving work. It " Money Gramm" and " Western Union ". To make it, you need to
go in bank in which is office " Western union " or "
Money Gramm ". In bank to me have told, that such offices are available in each city, therefore for you
the problem will not find it. When you will send money, you will need to specify my full name and
the address.
My information:
Anastasiya Volkova st. Mira Protvino, Moscow area, Russia 142280
Before I can receive money I should specify your full name and the address. Also, I should inform in bank confidential
number (MTCN.) This number to you inform in bank at sending money, and you will need to inform this number
to me in the messages. All moving will borrow some hours, but it will be necessary to pay for it some
money to bank. I think, that it is a reliable way of moving money. Dear, be ready to make it in some days.
When the agent will ask payment, I shall inform at once to you. Favourite, now to me is time to go,
always wait your messages and write to me more often.
Inform me also, what lady's wear for you more sexual.
Probably I shall prepare something for you, my dear!!!

Irina Bourdina
(Malaja Topka, Russia)
I communicated back and forth with Irina for about 2 weeks through private email. I don't know how she got my e-mail address.
She fed me a story about coming to America to look for a better life and asked me all kinds of questions and told me all about
herself. In the final letter, she asked me for money to pay for part of her plain ticket. After some searching, I found this exact
same letter on some anti-scam sites.
Of course, I have not sent her any money but I am continuing to play along. I plan on wasting as much of her time as she has mine.
In the end, I'll give a long winded speech about how what she's (or they) doing is wrong. That's the best I can do with it.

My Dear, they have told in travel office that I have to show tickets when I will visit embassy after tomorrow before my flight.
People from embassy must be sure that I am not going to stay illegally in your country and I have tickets with returning data.it is
very strong rule. I have some money but my flight from Irkutsk to Moscow costed so much(about 500$)
because so many kilometrs from there to Moscow. I didn't guess that tickets costs so much. and I have to book tickets till in less than 2 days ,
because of my interview. I have not written date of flight because I do not have all money to the ticket.
as soon as I will have all money and I will buy the ticket I shall write to you date of flight.
I will buy the ticket on this flight. May be you could borrow some money?
I am sure I will be able to return it back in a few weeks after my arriving I will earn some money and at
first to return all money to you.
I also have not written this date of the flight because I yet have not
bought the ticket, but if you will borrow to me money I will fly on this flight, in most nearest day,
this flight flies almost each day.
in Agency they have told me that you may send it by Western Union. It is pretty easy to use.
The guy from the agency explained to me how their system works. It is instant worldwide money transfer system.
All you need is my name and my surname to send me the money. Once you do this ,
I'll be able to pickup the money in any local Western Unuion office in Moscow. We need to do it pretty fast,
because we have no time till my intervew, if everything will be all right I will be on this flight!
I have about 450 US dollars yet and I think I need about 870 US dollars from your side with all travel needs and living
here till my flight!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. Or I can return
earlier if something is wrong!
Here is more info about Western Union. You find any local Western Union agent, go there and send money to my name.
Western Union will ask you for my full name and address in Moscow where I am staying at. Once you give them all the info they will initiate the transfer.
In just less than 10 minutes I will be able to pick the money up at any Western Union agent here in moscow.
You will send me transfer info and MTCN( money transfer control number )
I will get cash. So I will need your full name and your address + the control number of the transfer. (MTCN)
