Alena
Fedorouskaya (Ekaterinburg, Russia)
I just wanted to make everyone aware of
"Alena Fedorouskaya", I just ran into her with a new "name",
email address, and "agency" But otherwise the exact same scam.
I found her in match.com (which has joined forces with
love@aol), so now aol and match.com folks need to watch out! I ran into her around Dec 31, 2001.
New name = Irina Tarakanova email address =

information
I also saw where Wayne, USA has discovered who's
pictures are being used, this is all very sad!
"Alena Fedorovskaya" is using pictures of Russian
photo-model Anastasia Smirnova
In reality she is a very beautiful Russian
PHOTO-MODEL! Her name is Anastasia Smirnova. She has own websites like http://photomodel.newmail.ru/ and
http://anastasia.hotmail.ru/ . All the pictures you know and many more, you can
find there...

strung up! Charlie, Laguna Niguel, CA, USA
Alfia
Magdeeva/ Marina Chumachenko/Vasilisa Schelkonogova/ Anna Lazareva/Anna
Porfireva/Olga Trophimova
I complained about this person to every Russian Police and Government agency I
could find. Two have started investigations but want to receive complaints and
stories from other victims of this person - who apparently is a MAN! - before they
can prosecute him.
Names he uses Alfia Magdeeva, Marina
Chumachenko, Vasilisa Schelkonogova, Anna Lazareva, Anna Porfireva; also he presented himself as Olga
Trophimova,
Please, send your letters and complaints to E-mail:

Irina Glazkova
(Kherson, Ukraine) AKA Anjela Oleynik
Hey, you have a great web page!!!
I am a Canadian, 35 years old. I would like to give an additional alias for
Anjela Oleynik from Kherson, Ukraine. When I found your web page about
the scammers I was supprised to see my future wife right there in living color,
and two times no less. The following email includes her new name, banking
information and email.
As an additional note, I also had troubles canceling the monthly
subscription with the ABSOLUTE AGENCY. I signed up for one month and paid
with a credit card. They represent that you can cancel within 30 days and
then they will not automatically rebill. Well I cancelled on the 25th day
by email and they just kept billing. I finally had to cancel my credit card
to stop ABSOLUTE AGENCY. Also, they do not have any physical address. I
would prefer to be scammed $370 by this gal from the Ukraine on a one time
shot, rather than to be systematically scammed systematically by ABSOLUTE
AGENCY. Does anyone have a physical mailing address for this ABSOLUTE?
Ok, back to Anjela. Now this story will make you cry!!!

Dear James,
I can't write much time.. I have very big grief. My mum passed a road...
Behind a rudder there was a drunk driver... There was a failure. When I
hear about this awful incident, immediately has gone to hospital. A condition of my mum very hard. The doctors have said, that it is
necessary immediately to make operation to her . It's very expensive, and our medicine is in a very pitiable condition therefore I must pay
for operation. But it costs $370, and I managed to collect only $140. I try to find the stayed money, but I can't. It is necessary to make
operation immediately. If not time, I would find stayed $230, but I haven't time. I can ask of the help only you. My mother is very dear
for me. When we were left by my father, she was the unique people who always cared about me and understood me. Now I am obliged to make all
that in my forces to help her. I can not look as my mum dies on my eyes!
Please, if you can then help me. I will pray for you. I was in bank and there is
Western Union money transferr system. This is only one fast way that I know.
I have found out about transferr: You need my full name Irina Glazkova and my adress
Ukraine, Kherson, Suvorova st. 21, ap.11 ZIP/POSTAL:73005 I need your full name, address and 10-digital money transferr control
number (you must take it on your Western Union operator). If you can help, please, help me as soon as possible!
I feels very bad now. I'm in despair! I'm waiting for your answer and pray.
Love you.
I did not inform ABSOLUTE AGENCY about the gal, figured they could care less
and that they had their own scam to occupy their time.
Thanking you,
James Stuart

Natalya Jitinkina
(Yoshkar-Ola, Russia) AKA Anna Markova
I am writing regarding the several scam reports concerning Natalya Jitinkina (Yoshkar-Ola, Russia). I immediately recognized the photograph as someone who contacted me under the name of Anna Markova (Yoshkar-Ola, Russia).
In brief, Anna/Natalya and I exchanged correspondence on an almost daily basis for approximately two months. I wasted a lot of time when I should have been working on my assignments, but at least I never sent her any money. She asked for: (1) $440 for a passport/Visa; (2) an unspecified amount to replace a stolen fur coat; and (3) $200 to pay her internet bill.
Anna/Natalya's letters are, however, just personal enough to keep you guessing whether she is for real. She writes about her mom and grandma and baking pies, and it all sounds very sincere.
I became suspicious when, out of the blue, she one day declared that she was in love with me and then followed that up with a letter requesting money for a passport and visa.
Then again, I was a bit suspicious from the get go when Anna/Natalya contacted me through a screen name that was assigned to me by my employer and which advertises that I am a lawyer. It was also strange that she claimed to have
located me through "Friend Finder," a service that I had never used and would never have used under that screen name.
Anna/Natalya never identified any connection with an agency.

nursery. I love children and animals very much. I want to get acquainted with the man, who will be a support in my life. I am 27 years old. I agree to get acquainted with a man from 30 and older. For me age

When in doubt, and having been provided with an alleged address, send flowers. I guess I could have opted for the cheaper box of chocolates, but ...
Of course, the florist could not locate
Anna/Natalya at the address she gave. The florist did somehow eventually track
Anna/Natalya down, but I was amazed that, in her response, she was more interested in what the flowers cost than the sentiment behind them.

And only to you to belong
Set of kisses
Even though Anna/Natalya never directly responded to my suggestions that we arrange a time when I might call her, I called anyway. Some guy who spoke no English answered the telephone. Interestingly, I could hear someone busily typing at a keyboard in the background.
Eventually, I got ticked off enough to write and tell her that I did not
appreciate her declaration of love being immediately followed by requests for money. Again, however,
Anna/Natalya does not give up easily.
Letter #7
Hi my love You are a pity that to me so дамаешь about me I not such.

you not against.
Yours Anna forever
Anna/Natalya never responded to any of my suggestions that we discuss arrangements for me to visit her. There were also a number of other direct questions that she conveniently never responded to, but watch out for her because she does put in just enough effort to make you think she really is responding to your letters and to keep you guessing whether certain things are just some kind of misunderstanding and whether this woman could be for real.
I must say that I was quite relieved to see her photograph on the scammers list so that I could stop wondering what's up with this woman.

I've been investigating Russian scams by female con-artists defrauding

I placed a profile on DatingFaces.com
and got a response fairly soon. Elena Shurygina jumped on the
opportunity to use this website to find prospective victims. I have
recieved 36 emails from the person between 11/6/01 till 12/25/01.
"VISA money" was sent Western Union to her in the name of
Elena Shurygina. I'm in the process of informing others and official
agencies of this activity with the evidence I have accumulated. I'm offering this
person a chance to confess, stop her activities and return the money
sent before prosecuting.

Letter#1
Hello, my love Elder!
I was very glad to receive your
letter. When I was reading it by the end my eyes were full of tears of
happiness. I start to believe that we need each other. I visit
Christian Church often and dream inside about our relationships and
future meeting. How are you there without me? My longing about you
increased very much. I do not know what's happening. You are always in
my dreams. You show a strong interest in me, which is a pleasure to
realize. Excuse me that I seem to be direct but I cannot stop my
thoughts to run and I often imagine now the moment when we will
probably meet soon. Nevertheless I won't fasten things. I'm used to be
patient. Write me please any questions you are interested in. I will
answer them with a big pleasure and inspiration. You are the second
person in this world after my mother who became dearest to me. I
strongly hope that our meeting will be sooner. I'm so much grateful to
you that you trust me. E-mailing is not a natural way of
communication. We are unable here to keep our hands and look into eyes
of each other and talk about the beauties of the world. I'm in a very
good mood every day now because of you. I think about you all day long
and cannot concentrate at my duties. I wish to know about you more and
more. You are very important to me. When we started to correspond I
hoped internally in success of our relationship. With every your
letter I understand that I found that man who is necessary to me.
Thank you for you trust! I want to embrace you with caress. I want to
tell you that my feelings and the words in relation to you were always
sincere and I always believed in our trust as a basis of a real union.
Today I'm assured at 100 percent that I can trust you. And you are the
man whom I need because I see sincerity in your words when I read your
letters. I do not know what force governs me. I wanted. want. to say.
that. I love you! My life from the last days became much easier
because I think only about you. When I receive your letters when you
say that you think about me it warms my soul and my heart. For the
sake of interest I asked my colleague who visited Australia in past
about the prices for visa abroad. She showed me advertisement
of a travel firm. I was impressed very much by the prices they set for
visas to Canada. It was around three hundred fifteen US dollars. I
thought at that moment that I will never be able to visit you at
least during the nearest two years. I was sad. When I was on the way
from home today I thought how to say you. I told you that there should
be a complete trust between us and we should know each other enough.
I'm a virgin. You probably think that I'm not modern enough and do not
follow the pace of time. However I decided for myself, influenced by
precepts of my mother and old Russian traditions, that I will have
affinity only with a beloved. Sometimes I dream about you, however, it
is probably shame on me to talk about this. I was dreaming about this
all last night: we had dinner with candles and roses with you and then
we went to a sleeping room. and began to love each other.
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with sexual relationships. I watched
only few movies. But now I have an unimaginable desire to open my
heart to a Beloved. Excuse me that I'm so frankly with you, but I feel
that you have to know everything about me before I would be able to
visit you.
My feelings to you are reflected in
this poem .
My love is like a burning flame
Dying out until
I know your name In my heart
I'm crying out for you
Unwrap my love, this you can only do
Give me all your love and
I'll give you mine
And forever the two of us will combine
I want to please your mind, body, and soul
I want to be the only love you know
I may be young, but my love is pure
We both have lonely hearts,
Together we're the cure
I hold so many secrets
I can only tell you
But where is my soulmate,
God just give me a clue
For love we both know just what it takes
We have to love, honor, trust, and communicate
With you I must be united
My mind will be at ease,
My heart will be dilighted
When I find you, into one we will be grown
But remember,
We all enter and leave this world alone
I shall wait for your answer.
Yours Elena.

Hello my love Elder.
Dear , today I had serious
conversation with mum. She does not have any
objections if I would go to USA. She wishes happiness to me. I had
long conversations with her about you. She says that if you write such
letters you are a good person. But she is still a bit prejudiced about
the possibility of deceit. But I love you and completely believe you.
There is a firm in our city, which deals with visa registration. They
charge 315 USD. It is unbelievably high for me. But it is so! Visa is
arranged during 1 month. I know also that there is а governmental
visa department. They charge a bit less money, however such visa is
prepared from 0,5 to 1 year and it is not yet known how it will work.
My girlfriend recently visited Australia and she told me everything how to receive visa and to prepare for the flight. I'll tell you
everything about this. You just have to listen me carefully. I am very
glad that you want to see me. I also dream about this. I want
to be with you!!! I understand that a lot of money is necessary to
travel to you. And once again I'll tell you that the visa to refer to
is B-2. I do not know why I became so crazy about you. I think that it
is the man about which I dreamed all my life. I'm so inspired with our
future meeting that I cannot find a place for myself anywhere. 315
dollars are necessary to buy visa. This visa is valid for 90 days. We
after all will have to come back to the issue of visa. Believe me now
I collected all information. I am very grateful to you that you help
so much to our meeting. I want to tell you that money is better to
send on system Western Union. This system is very reliable and money
transaction is carried out within 15 minutes. Here is information how
to send money here:
Close Jaint Stock Company Bank
"Diplomat"
Uritskogo st. 36, Tyumen, 625000 RUSSIA
Elena Shurygina
After you will send money here the
bank will tell you ten figures and you should inform me about them. I
know that our relationship is under construction for trust. But we
should trust each other without trust we simply cannot exist. My
mother's sister works in Moscow in an airport. Mum called her today
and spoke to her. Write me please what airport you will come to and
then I'll tell you about the air tickets. The ticket for me will be
with the discount due to my aunt. Many times I asked a question to
myself: Why in this world everything depends on money? I consider that
money is not the basis. The most important is when people understand
each other. I can live without money. But I strongly want to arrive to
you and money here is necessary. So it is obvious that money were
separating us. I have a big desire to meet you, to embrace you and to
kiss you. If I would have money I'll immediately arrive to you. Money
is just a temporary paper. But human relationships are built forever.
Now I understand that love is a strong feeling. I am glad that I have
found this feeling. When I open the mailbox and see there your letter
it is becoming easily on my soul. When I read it my heart blossoms. I
want to sing with happiness. I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!
Your Elena

Hello, my love Elder. I am as always
very happy to read your letter. You are my beloved, my love, my dream!
I'm very glad that you care abuot me. You offered to send money for
visa by mail, but I think this is very unsafe. Our mail service is
very bad. I extremely need you like you need me. I wish to be close to
you, to feel your breath and your lips. I want to hold your hands,
look into your eyes and to kiss you. You and me...I can no longer keep
these feelings inside my heart. I should express them to you, share
them with you. I want to feel your tongue, your breath. Yesterday
night I had an expressive dream about you, which you should know,
whether you also have dream of similar nature, or it is only mine. You
and me, there is no anybody. We are near to each other on a large bed.
We cover each other, our bodes are poured into a single body, our lips
meet each other and synchronize in a long kiss. I feel your body, you
feel my body. You undress me then I undress you. I feel your sensitive
body. You feel my caress skin. I lay at top of your sensitive body,
listening your heartbeat, which is double speeded. We lay near to each
other, speak about love looking at each other. I study your beautiful
eyes you study my eyes, both see love in the eyes of each other. I
will kiss you a breast, necks, everywhere. You also touch me with your
sensitive gentle lips. I love you very much. I want to hear your
beautiful vote. I want to speak about love with you. It is raining
now. The rain brings love. The love prospers in such weather. It is a
very romantic atmosphere. Please write me a letter.

Letter#4
Good day, my love Elder. I
have just received your email. I liked it. I start to take an
example from you trying to obtain your characters. I'm trying to be also
open as you with everybody. It makes communication easier. Do you
agree? And it makes me simpler to discover my nature to you.
About visa: I think it takes 4-5 days to get it. And then I will come
to you. It's hard to wait so long, but it's necessity. My Boss cannot
recognize me the last days. He said that something had changed me.
What I really like in you - your three sources of love: mutual
confidence, sharing and pardoning. In other words -
"loyalty" each time when I receive letters from you. Love
discovers us its nature. She makes a person hope for the future and
she does not reflect the past. She is like a chronicle - day by day
she measures borings, problems, compromises, small disappointments,
large victories and General Purposes and helps a person to move
towards her aims. If one has love in her life this may fill many
gaps. Other means to fill in those gaps are much weaker and they help
only the external side of a human mind but not internal. I'm so glad
that you can trust me and call me "my love". I believe now
that we made a big step forward in our relationship. If there is a
time where you doubt concerning me or if I say something that disturbs
you please say me. I think honesty makes everything simpler. I think
now that I may share with you everything I have in mind. And, please,
do not feel restrained in this way and talk to me about everything you
wish. I wish to underline that I have no longer reasons to doubt about
you. I'm so happy that I found such a person in my life and I hope
that I will no longer remember about the bad which I had in past. It
was so long ago when I felt so warm in my heart. I like to receive
your e-mails. I'm persuaded now that you seek for a long-term
relationship and you will never agree on anything else. I consider
this as a strong basis for our future relationship. Thank you for
discovering your nature to me. I wish to study much more concerning
you in a closer communication.
Always thinking of you.
Your Lena.

a small party. There were some friends. We recollected student's
years, university, our teachers. It was pleasant to me studies at
university. It was one of the most interesting periods in my life. I
had many friends. I found out a lot of new. Now many from my friends
have left for other cities. Some already have family. Even it is
difficult to believe. But the time goes, and we older. Here and I
already have met the man, with which I want to live all life. Yes
certainly it is you. My first and unique love. You my dream, and my
reality. With you I am ready to divide happiness and sadness. But I am
sure, that of happiness will be more. My friends wish to us happiness.
They are glad, that I have you. I am very happy, and it is appreciable
by all. Everyone speak, that I have changed very much. I more
cheerful, though I did not think earlier, that it is possible. But you
have made me such, and I am grateful to you. I want to tell thank you,
my love. I with impatience wait for our meeting. I love you
very much.
Yours for ever,
Elena.

Letter#6
Good day, my love Elder.
My1 passion to you is so strong that
I think that I will no longer survive before I meet you. Today I have
borrowed $100 from my girlfriend and went to agree about partial
payment for visa. They have accepted this payment and notified also
that I had to pay 215 dollars more. I have nobody except you to ask
for these money. I think it is not necessary to wait and let the
things run randomly. It is necessary in this life to be resolute and
to achieve the happiness. In the firm dealing with visa registration I
have known that I would be allowed to be in America for about three
months and I was delighted very much. We can spend together so much
time. During this time I may become your wife and forever remain with
you. I am just happy that you've appeared in my life. I cannot wait for that moment when we will be together. So
could you try to send other part of money that I could completely pay
for the visa. Because a small part of money I already paid it is also necessary to me to pay the other part of money. I'm so glad that you
also dream about me. Your ideas are simply delightful and I will
embody them faster in the reality. You are every minute in my heart.
With the large impatience I'll be waiting for your letter. Just try as
soon as it is possible to send the other part of money. I love you,
the man of my sole.
Yours
Elena.
***This is the sixth mention of VISA in
her emails:
Letter#7
Hello my darling Elder.
You asked how much money you should
send. Well, the price of visa is 315$ and I have borrowed 100$. Today
I have difficult day. I shall go in business trip. And I shall come
back only tomorrow. But I am happy, that I have time to write to you
the letter. Now my trip will be successful. Because I saw your letter.
And it has made me happy. Now I shall go home, I should take most
necessary. I do not know when I shall come back tomorrow. But I think,
that not late. I shall try to write to you tomorrow. I should go. I
shall think of you. I shall dream of time, which we shall have
together, and I hope it will be soon. I have very many ideas about
that as we shall spend time. But I do not want to speak you about it
now. I want, that much was by a surprise. But some I probably shall
write to you. Next time. Well, I should go. I do not want very much.
But... Have good day.
I love you.
Elena.
***This is her email confirming
acceptance of VISA money I sent Western Union:
Letter#8
Hello, my dear Elder.
Thank you for sending visa money. I
will go to Western Union today to receive it. I want to tell you now
about Russian culture and life in Russian. I'm sure now that you
already know about how the people live in different countries even in
the countries of second or third world. I'm also sure that you will
find a lot of common about Russia with other countries. Unfortunately,
I cannot make such judgements because I have never been abroad. But I
read a lot and know something. The people in Russia are very friendly.
We usually help each other in this life. Without friends you won't
survive. If there are a lot of bads in the life, you probably know,
people become more cheerful and usually have a good sense of humour.
There is also another result of such development - a lot of those who
drink vodka and other alkohols. The cities are quiet normal in this
respect. However there are big problems in the villages and another
deep places. The roads there are usually very bad and there is very
small traffic. Farming is also bad there. Russia is culturally
diversive. A lot of small nationalities. We never had large
ethnic problems. Unfortunately recently we have problems in Chechnia.
Nobody knows its reasons - a lot of concepts. Politics in Russia is
too complicated. It is more similar to division of values and assets
in high circles than governing the country. I'm not interested in
Russian politics because it always leads to abnormal results and
strange "expression of people's choice"
Your
Elena.
***This is the email that confirmed her
receipt of the VISA money and the final phase of her scam asking for airplane ticket money:
Letter#9
Hello, my Love Elder.
I've received money from you today
and was so happy with the thought that we will be together very soon.
However I was disappointed when I came to visa department. They said
that visa would be ready without tickets in tree weeks. If I have
tickets it will be ready in 5-7 days. I told them that I'll try to
present them aeroplane tickets in three days. I don't know how to tell
you that those tickets require $670. My hurt is simply torn up when I
think that it could be that we might not meet soon. Nevertheless I've
given money for the passport for foreign travels today. It will be
ready on the next week.
Your Elena.
***This is the hard-luck story about
the aunt that was going to provide airplane tickets but is now too
sick [I have mentione her deception to her and this was the last
messge she sent and has refused to reply to this date]:
Letter#10
Merry Christmas my Love.
I know that today is Christmas in
America. I want to wish you happiness and everything that you would
wish for yourself. I am very sad that we can not be together today. I
love you!!! I am very sorry that I couldn't wrote to you yesterday. I
have a bad news. My aunt was very sick. She had a heart attack. She was very bad. And we were at hospital. But she is felling better
know. I hope she will be well soon. Unfortunately this is very
serious. She had heart problems before and now it's happened again.
You see that she can not work now. She is at hospital. So I don't know
what to say to you about airplane tickets...
Your Elena.

I would like to let you know that I also received a letter from who I knew as Elena Shurygina from Tyumen Russia. If it hadn't have been for reading your list I to
might have been scammed into sending her money. I saw her picture on your list and it was the exact pictures she sent me. The last name was different but her letters were almost word for word the ones she sent to Bill. Thank you for having your list or I might be writing about how much money she took me for

Irina
Tarakanova (St. Petersburg, Russia)
Apparently, this girl gets around. I met her through Match.com under the name "Irina Tarakanova" on the Destiny of Hearts Internet Club. You could probably
guess my surprise when I had seen the same exact pictures she sent me on
your site. She said she needed $1850 for a Student Visa and airfare, but she had a deadline of less than two weeks. A Svetlana Orlova from the agency had
emailed me several times with documents, price break down, and a signed contract. I was then told that I could break the payment up, but there would be an extra $50 processing fee and I had less time to get that there. I was told she was pre-approved and it would only take 5-7 days to process her out once payment was received. The thing that got me is that she called me and spoke English very well. I did have doubts and played along, but I sure do appreciate this site. Her ad has been removed from Match.com since.

her legal documents, visa and travel costs.
Please be aware that Irina has a deadline of January 11, 2002, to begin her
process to your country, otherwise she will have to reapply. This deadline
is mandated by government departments sponsoring these program. To reapply,
her process could take between 6-10 months to be approved again and there is no
guarantee that she would be approved once again. Irina is currently preapproved and can be made ready in 5-7 working days time from start of
process. Because she is quite close to her deadline, if you decide you want
to
sponsor her, please inform us right away via e-mail, and we will forward the
information on how to make payment arrangements, etc.
Meanwhile, we will need the name of the International Airport you would need
Irina to arrive to. Once we retrieve payment, Irina will be processed and
ready for travel to your country within 5-7 working days.
For your convenience, I've included a breakdown of cost below:

Irina will arrive on Student Visa status. However, she will not be
obligated to begin any schooling for 30-days. This means if you two would like to

supercede the restrictions of student visa. Irina is looking for serious
relationship with you of course. She does not expect more than that. Our
process is simply an avenue to put you two together. Do not worry, we will
be sending many instructions, along with all of your options as packet with
Irina, both in English and Russian language.
