Olga Poluyanova (St Petersburg, Russia)
1) I started emailing with "Olga" about the end of September 2007 after she contacted me from either MYBELOVEDNET.COM or LBRIDES.COM (I cannot recall which one). Letter she has sent me are in backward chronological order
2) I was privy to all scams since I've been doing this for over 3 years....so I played along, wating till she would hit me up for money....she was pretty sharp, as you can see she waited till she was "in another city, St,Petersburg" and then, lo and behold, to her surprise, the Agency that was paying for her to come to America for 3 months didn't give her sufficient money for a plane ticket between one city and another,,,,,this would require me to send another few hundred dollars to her via WESTERN UNION.
3) Below is the chronological set of letters, from the most recent to the original (note that in the original she says her name is TESSA but when asked, she never tells me why she goes by a different name. Further, the original email from her has a guy's name on the return address!
4) Finally, note that her scam includes her giving me supposedly a recent picture of a valid passport! Amazing. Oh by the way, note that her last pictures she sent to me - just before hitting me up for money, are the sexiest ones showing me her breast and vaginal areas.....I guess women believe that men think through their cocks....maybe it is true of too many men.....)
Thanks and best of luck for this great site.

Honey, I am so glad to see that I am almost near my goal,and our meeting wait for us.
I think I will call you from airport and I will wait for you there so long as you need,I
mean if you need any time to arrive in airport.
it is not problem to wait there because I know that it is the end of my trip and I have time to improve my condition(some parfume)after
long jorney.I want you to see me in good shape! I think everything will be all
right.Rather I am sure everything will be all right!.
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 St Petersburg costed so much(about 500$)
because so many kilometrs from there to St Petersburg. 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 St Petersburg. 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 460 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 St Petersburg 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 St Petersburg.
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)
Kiss you many times ,I am tired today,you know it is hard enough to be in foreign city. So many different emotions .
Kiss you many times! Olga! see you soon!
Ah, silly me. Nearly forgot to give you my full name info and my address.
My address here (the flat i am renting)
Country : Russia, City : St Petersburg,
Address : Bogdanova 17-20, zip 119618
Full Name OLGA POLUYANOVA (right writting in English)
I am sorry to send so dry letter but it seems to me I am like any drunker I have lost my mind and my head works so badly,see you tomorrow. I am
sorry to make so many problems for you I only hope that you will be not disappoined to meet me.
   
Olga Tomilina
(Shelehov, Russia)
I hail from India and happen to get myself registered to a dating site recently know as singlesnet.com
Just 3 days of my subscription I received a message from one female saying herself as Olga 28 yrs , she said she felt something special & stopped over to write to me . So here it all started & we started corresponding more frequently & she also said she is coming to India through Au Pair a organization which sends individuals to foreign nations as nanny's . Olga also sent her pictures & said when she comes here she would prefer to stay with me as she s not comfortable staying with her co workers . Olga in her last mail asked for 677 us dollars so that will take care of her flight charges & promised to return it from her first salary . She gave the following address :
“Information for Olga Tomilina"
"W.R.T-Tours",117446,Moscow, Nikopolskaya st.,building 14,office 405. phones (7) (495 ) 8342539 (7 ) (495 ) 83492538”
So I went ahead & did a western union transaction from my city Bangalore ( India ) ,And that's all afterthat never heard from her & I realized I had been scammed , readers please be aware from such dis- honest people, don't be a fool like me . Olga is a sly fox check her pictures & letters
Here is her another address: 666032,Russia, Shelehov, Levitana street, house 4 flat 9.

You know in my dreams I thought a lot about our first meeting at the airport.. Don’t you think it will be just fantastically romantic?
Please please let me know if it’s possible.
Then I started to be afraid if you possibly wouldn’t recognize me.. but
you can make a kind of a paper with big letters printed saying my name
and surname so that I could see you easily.
It will be such a long trip and I will probably be tired and sleepy, but
happy nevertheless.
In the agency,they told me I can pass my interview on visa and get it only when I pay for my trip, I didn't know about it.
I can receive my visa after I pay them whole cost, so they want to be sure I have roundtrip tickets so I'm not
going to stay illegally over there. I think there rules are too strict...... Anyway....You know I had much money with me,
but my flight from Irkutsk to Moscow costed so much (about 550$) because it's so far from Moscow. Of course it is my fault
because parents told me that I have to travel by train but I wanted to
do everything faster so I took a plane.
Another bad thing yet that prices on airlines in this period became more expensive as they say. And i have paid much money to
old lady for the room i rent.
I couldn’t guess that everything costs so much and they didn't say anything. They say they arranged my trip, passport,insurance ,visa, job
orrers and all necessary documents ,but i should pay full cost of this
servises myself. I have to pay them first and then they will complete all paper work and arrange me visa and
give me tickets. So if I really wish to come I must follow the rules. And the thing is that I really should buy my
tickets otherwise my visa and my whole visit cannot happen. I cannot even imagine that I started changing my whole life and not when I am
half way did that there is such challenge.
And I thought one thing, is it possible that you could borrow me some money
to pay to the agency?
I can't live here too long because every day I have to spend some money
for food and rent of room. Moscow is a Really expensive city. The cup of
the tea costs about almost two dollars. I think it is not a great amount
I ask and I am sure I will be able to return it back in a few weeks after I arrive. I will earn some money and from the
first salary I return it back to you.
People in the Agency they have told me that you may send it by Western
Union. It is quite easy to use they said. I have been to the bank and they gave me
the information. All you need is my name, my surname and address to send
me the money. Once you do this, I'll be able to pick up the money at any local Western
Union office in Moscow. We need to do it pretty fast, because we have no
time till my interview, if everything is all right I will be on this airplane! You will send me a transfer info and MTCN (money transfer
control number) I will get cash. Quite easy I think. Please if it not too hard for you of course.
So I mush finish this letter cause this was a very very hard day for me
today. Kisses. Below are all the required data:
My address here (where I rent a room)
121552,Russia,Moscow,street Ostrovnaya house 15 flat 47.
My full name Olga Tomilina
I have about 500 US dollars. Please try to send about 677 US dollars so I will be sure I have enough money for all my travel needs and
flight. I know you will try to help me!
I am in such anticipation you know, so eager to come! Tell me shall we
meet at the airport or somewhere in the city? It’s no problem, I just
don’t know the city well and not aware about the taxi prices. So it would absolutely fantastic to meet at the airport, you know just like in
my dreams. I hope our relations will go on next level. I'm sure that things will be only better between us day after day. I can live
with you if you like the idea or if you don’t, i will rent room in your city. Just let me know,ok?
I am open to our relations.
You are a great man and I hope you will not live me alone in Moscow and help me!
Kiss you once again. And think about you.
We shall see each other very soon!
Yours Olga

Russia, Kalachinsk, Sportivnaya 22, flat 39, post code(zip) - 646904.
Her name is Olga Polujanova! Email of Olpolu@Yanzex.net. The pitch was quite convincing and almost had me, but when the request for $ came I did a double take on it and also some searching! I am launching my own investigation and would like some pointers on what I amy do to maximize my effort! Thanks in advance!
I'm Stephen Johnson a 50 plus year olf guy living in the Boston area! This

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 Monday October 29 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 400 US dollars yet and I
think I need about 850 US dollars from your side with all travel needs and living
here till my flight! (I had 1150 dollars, but flight from Omsk, opening visa, medical
insurance and all travel needs costed about 700 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 Ican 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 or
MoneyGram. 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 or MoneyGram office in Moscow.
My address here (the room i am renting)
Country : Russia, City : Moscow,
Address : Medikov 18 - 23, post code (zip) 115304
Full Name Olga Polujanova(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 (or moneygram) 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! Olga with great hope and many
kisses!
Olga,
