Nadya(Nadezhda)
(krosnogorskoye, Russia)
I am a single 41yo white American male.
It originated from Yahoo Personals. She used the website to contact me and left me her personal e-mail address and I contacted her directly. It said she was from Brownsville (I assumed Brownsville Michigan). Her profile on Yahoo Personals was deleted in a couple days. I received a letter from her every day for 12 straight days. I have not received one today as last night I informed her I could not pay for her Visa and flight ($1585).
There was no money sent because I got suspicious. I therefore did some checking today and found her by searching her e-mail address on Yahoo. The search pulled up a site for an anti scam forum:
It was here I found her alias. For me she was Nadya (Nadezhda) with e-mail address rizetka@yahoo.com. On the forum, I found out she is also Marina with e-mail address mariyakiska29@yahoo.com. I have attached the IP addresses she has used from Yoshkar Ola if they would be helpful. She had told me she was from Krasnogorkoye.
I did not inform the website since shew deleted her profile and originally said she was from Brownsville. Plus, I never contacted via the Yahoo site, she had given me her personal e-mail address.
Even though Nadya/NadezhdaMarina did not get money from me, she or he is obviously performing this alot. From the Anti scam blog, it clearly shows aliases and intent to scam. The letters on this other website were almost identical to mine and many of the same photos were shared with me and the other men. She is also targeting men in Germany as evidenced from this other site. I am attaching all the photos I have in the hopes this person is caught or at least some other person isn't scammed by this perpetrator. Sincerely, Phil
Letters:
Here is her initial and final letter with the money request. There were 10 more e-mails in between these two.

Hello Philip!!!
To me it is pleasant that you have not left my message without the answer.
In my letter I would like to tell to you more about me directly. I very sociable person, but unfortunately at me am not enough
friends, Because in my life so it turns out that I cannot find the present and devoted friend.
Tell to me, at you it is a lot of friends? I would like to find the friend and even more than the friend.
I know that men from your country very serious because you have a lack of good women.
I am right? At me as the lonely girl, has desire and intention to meet at last my partner in life and to construct with it family relations.
I have decided to write to you only because you have very much liked me. But from your profile I did not
manage to learn you well. In this letter I wish to tell to you about my life. To me of 29 years.
Already on October, 16th to me 30 years will be executed, and the fourth ten my life will begin, and looking on it,
To me is sad to recognise that for these years I have no own family and still I live with my parents.
All my acquaintances say, what I look young, but I would like to know your opinion, what you think of my
appearance? I really constantly care of the appearance and health.
It will be interesting to me to learn, what you appreciate in the woman? I mean by it not only appearance but also character traits!
Philip where you work? I think that to you will be as interestingly to learn about my work.
4 years I work as the inspector in militia. ON work I am engaged in education of youth of minor age.
It is very difficult work which occupies many physical and intellectual forces, but not looking on it, I see sense in this work,
I a supporter of an order also do not want that the future generation grew the criminal.
Certainly I understand that all depends on education in a family, and basically it is children from unsuccessful families,
But I try to correct it because it is sense of my work. To be arranged for this work to me it was necessary to
finish police academy. We in a city do not have any institute, because my city rather small.
My work means good knowledge of psychology and as I in it did successes I and has decided to choose such
sort of activity. I think that all in our hands and only we can choose as our relations will develop.
I will give the chance to you to learn my life in the maximum degree and is final with the big sincerity.
You can tell to me about your life everything, all will be for me interesting.
Philip, I hope that this letter will be interesting to you. As in this letter I send you some photos, I hope that they will like you.
Write to me that you think of my photos. It is interesting to me to know that you think of my appearance.
Philip, I wish as to see more than your photos. I hope that my text without serious errors because I tried to write
it attentively. My knowledge of language not so is good, and I hope, that for us it will not be a problem to
understand each other. I hope that you will help me to improve knowledge of English language.
On it I will finish the letter to you. I hope to receive from you news again.
I will soon wait from you for e-mail.
Your new girlfriend Nadya.

Hello my love Philip!!!
How are you???
At me all is remarkable.
As I also promised to you, today I have visited travel agency and have learnt the information on travel to
you. I think that the information for us important to know even if it will be impossible to meet for us.
The employee of agency has explained me all in details. At first I need to make all papers it is required about
6 days. I will need to issue the visa and the passport. Only with these documents I can go to you.
All it for me will make agency, I only need to pay for it 545$. Also that all has been successfully executed
and that the visa has been approved under the contract it is required to pay at once the approximate
price for flight, That after performance of documents I could order flight to your nearest airport (which you
to me will tell) that you could meet me The approximate prices for plane flight in your country costs
nearby 1040$, there and back. Thereby you see that all trip will cost approximately 1585$.
When I left travel agency that at me there was an awful mood as I have understood that to me not to cope with this
trip, As at me now very difficult financial position. It is real that you have stretched me a hand and we
could meet in my vacation? Your answer very important for me. I think that together we are able that that
to undertake and meet on my vacation. It is very important for me as I have fallen in love with you.
I would like to appear near to you though for an instant, any letter would not replace an instant of a
meeting. You agree? Favourite Philip, now I will finish the letter and I will look forward to hearing from
you. I hope that you will have good news to me.
I love you my prince Philip.
Your future wife Nadya

Letters:

Telling from the beginning that profile wasn't mine, I know a woman who is on a dating site.
It was a profile of that woman, but she let me find someone from the dating site from her profile.
I don't know how to use the site, I'm not sure what could I write for the first time, I'm sending my photos...
I have many photos, sorry I don't have any professional one, just usual photos. Let me know and I can send more
pics! I'm looking forward to visiting your beautiful country and I would like to find a man over there who will be
interested in meeting me! I've never been abroad before and I would like to visit it so much!
I'm looking for a friend, lover or maybe even something serious... I'm a free bird now, I don't have a boyfriend
and I'm open to anything!!! Pls send me your photos and write me about yourself!!!!
I would like to have a serious relationship although I don't know if that's possible in internet so
I'm looking just for a good man who can show me over there and....... we will see!!!!!!!! I hope you like my pics!
I`m 27 years old, I hope my age is ok for you?? My height is 5.6

Yana (this is my real name)
Hello!!! This is me again! Thank you for your answer I am so glad to see it!
It is my first time I try to correspondence with man in internet world.
The thing is that I will work abroad for six months or so and I would like to meet a nice man to
be my guide or just be good friend to spend time with. I think that it is hard enough to live in foreign town
without friends. I am from a small town here in Russia, I don't want to be alone over there without any
relatives or friends! I want to see the real life over there and maybe you will be able to tell me more about
your culture and life over there and give me some information in general! You know, life in Russia is
rather difficult,especially in small towns. I don't want to live in Russia because I have not any chances
here,it is hardly possible to explain but I want you to know my plans.I saw many stories
in news on tv about girls who started a new life and decided to work abroad...
So I decided to do the same and to try to find my luck abroad. I started to
register my documents about 2 months ago, so I will travel soon and I will be allowed to work!
You see I already started to register documents and now I need to decide in
which city I want to work. I`m 27 years old and I`m a hardworking lady! (I will work as a manicure master
in a beauty salon). When I arrive (I will travel alone) over there and I can choose any beauty salon or spa
salon to work. I want to work hard and change my life! You see that maybe I'm too naive but I still believe
in miracles to come!
I decided to find a friend and make his city to be my destination.
I think it is great chance to change my life. I am full of plans and dreams!
My hair is blonde and I have mixed color of eyes (it depends on lightening)...
I think I'm somewhat pretty, but first of all I want to be beautiful inside.
I do hope that you will be not disappointed to meet me in the real life when we meet.
I will leave my town in a few days or so (I can't tell you everything exactly right now) and I would like
to be sure I have a man who is waiting for me over there. I will work hard and I would like to find a man to spend my
free time together to get to know each other better and have some fun together.
If you have any interest to meet me I will be more then happy to meet you too.
If you want I can call you when we get to know each other better it would be nice to talk to you.
Sorry I really have to go now. I will write more next time, my sister is waiting for me and I have to go!
Bye-bye!!! Yana
Hello X!!! This is me again!
I think I should write you more things about me, I hope it will be interesting for you to know me better!
My birthday is 21 of October 1981. I am a Libra. I'm 167 cm tall (5.6) and 51 kg weight. I don't know
exactly my bust-waist-hips measurements, I don't have a reason to measure it because I think it's OK
and my body is proportionate )) I've never been married, don't have kids but I love them and they love
me! I don't smoke, drink occasionally. My favourite color is blue. As for my family - I live with my mother
and my brother. My mother is 48 years old, her name is Valentina, I love her very much. I have a sister,
her name is Zoya, she is already married and she lives with her husband. I also have a younger brother,
his name is Maksim. He is very clever and he wants to be a naval officer like our father. My father was a
great person, he was courageous and brave. He is an ideal man for me. My father died in auto crash...
My mum cried for several months but now she is ok, she will never meet another man because my father
was the only man in her life and now her aim in life is to grow up our brother. It was my mother's idea to
try to work to another country. She loves me very much and she thinks that its impossible to earn good
money in russia. My mother read many stories about girls who found their
happiness abroad and now she wants me to do the same. As I wrote you I live in Russia, the name of my town is Novaya Lyalya
it is situated in Sverdlovskaya Obl. (District). It will be great if you also tell me some interesting facts about
your city. I don`t remeber if I told you or not but I graduated from Ekaterinburg University two years
ago, Economy faculty but I don't work on my specialization because I can't find a good job here in
economy sphere, my city is so small. I don`t use any translators and I can speak and write English
well. I write my emails from Internet cafe, we have a computer but no Internet. If you want I can call you
when we get to know each other better it would be nice to talk to you. Today I'm going to tell my mother
about you, I'm sure she will be happy I've met someone over there who can
show me around! I hope you are not getting bored to read my emails? It's a pity there is no messenger here, so we can
talk only using e-mails... My address here is Russia, Novaya Lyalya, Lesnaya street 47, flat 51. So now you have
a representation of who I am....I just can tell you I enjoy life and I try to live to the fullest, I like to try new
things. I'm very tender, caring, artistic, faithful, decent person. Sometimes I can be not well organized, I
think everybody had it's own minuses and pluses. I don't look any special qualities in a man. I just hope
he will be faithful to me and ready to create a happy family with me and I will do everything to make him happy. I'm looking for a
soulmate! Do you look for any special qualities?
Bye!
Yana
P.S. Forgot to say I'm sending a pic with my sister, my father and me.
Hello dear X! I think I'm a lucky girl to meet such good man as you in Internet!
I hope I will be lucky enough to meet you in the real life soon! Yesterday I told my mom about you.
She said that now she doesn`t worry about me as before because now she knows you are a kind
man and can help me if I need your help. You can show me your city and tell me more about the life over
there! I think I didn't write you I like cooking. I can cook some Russian dishes for you!
Pelmeni, vareniki, blini, borsch, okroshka! You will like it! Besides Russian cuisine I like Italian and Mexican. I love
spaghetti and pizzza!!!!! mmmmmmm !I can't live without it! I like Mexican food because it's very spicy,
although I don't cook Mexican dishes too often. I've been told my cooking is very tasty! I like to cook
cakes. My favorite is cheese-cake with raspberry! You know... when I talk about food I'm getting hungry
))) I eat everything and I don't like any diets but usually I don't eat after 7 pm.
This helps me not to be fat! I can cook many tasty things for you when we meet! Sometimes I like to listen to music.
I like almost all kind of Music and my favourite one is pop music and classical. You know.. almost all Russian men
are like bears! They are so rude, they can't be nice and polite, they don't want to have a family. I think
you are not like them. I like to go to the cinema! I really like to watch a good movie with my friends. 50
percents of movies in our cinemas are Russian and about 50 American. Actually my favorite actor is
Johnny Depp and I like all movies with him. I've watched Pirates of the Carribean (part 3) some time ago!
I think the third part is not as good as the first part. Have you seen it?
Could you recommend me any movie so I can watch it? What is your favorite movie and actor?
Soooooooooooooooo......... what else could I say? Sometimes I go to the theatre but not often.
There is only one small theatre in my city and there is nothing interesting.
If I want to watch a good play I should go to the nearest big city, there
sometimes can come some famous Russian actors and dancers but I can't go there often because it's
quite expensive. I want you to know small things about my life, because it will show you who I am.
Ok, I think I will finish my e-mail for today, because its rather late here and I should go home to cook some food for my mom and brother!
Yana
PS I'm sending more pics this time! They were taken in Sochi one year agoHello Tim! I don't have enough time to write a long email I'm in a hurry....
Please write me the name of the closest Airport to you (possibly International) and it's code (if you
know). For example the closest Airport to me is Ekaterinburg and it's code is (SVX). I already started to
pack my things and I want to start my trip so I will go to Moscow from Ekaterinburg. I have so many
worries and I'm so afraid to start everything but if I don't start it now I will never do it!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will go to airlines office now and will buy a tickets to Moscow, its very expensive, but I have some savings so I
have money to pay for plane ticket to moscow and to pay for renting room in moscow. As soon as I will
arrive to Moscow, I will finish my documents to travel, as work permission, medical insurance etc. I`m
waiting a confirmation of airport from you, so I will buy ticket to your airport. I know it won`t be cheap,
but my mother will receive a salary for last 6 months (her work detained wages) and will send me
money when I will find out the cost of tickets!I will know
this info in Moscow. I asked my sister to takea naked photo of myself because I didn't have any naked photos and I
thought I will need them and it was my choice. Also I didn't want all men to look at this pic.... and now I know you
little more and I will cross my fingers I'm not wrong in doing this and I will make a show of trust and send you my
naked pic to you hoping it will be for your eyes only and you will not show it to someone. I was not comfortable
to pose for such pic and I tried to smile, I think the pic is nice. I don't want to chat about sex orsomething like that,
I just wanted to show you how my body looks like... and that's all. Maybe I
shouldn't do this but I will click "send" button and close my eyes! I hope you will be not mad on me
because I sent this pic for you, I'm a good girl, really!!!!!!!!!! Please don't show my pic to anyone and
please don't ask for any naked pics in different poses or something like that. I'm a good girl and I'm not
info taking naked photos! I really apologize if you think now I'm not a good girl... I hope you don't think
so. I'm impatiently waiting for your answer! AAAAAAAAAAAh!!!! I'm so ashamed to send this pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got all the information and I'm resending it for you!! I am here after my visit to the consulate
and to the agency I am so happy to say we will meet in few days!!!! I am really lucky girl to meet you.
Honey the thing is that I booked the nearest possible flight but I have a little problem and I really hope
you will be able to help me. You see I never expected I will ask you for such help but I have nothing else
to do. You know my mom promised to send me money for tickets by western union as soon as I will find
out prices but she was told on her work that because of economic crisis she will receive all the money
she saved from every months salary only in a few months. So thats why she can`t send me all the sum
for tickets now and she was able to send only 200$ I have got it today. I wanted to ask you to help me
to pay for my tickets directly but they tell I can't use your help or ask you about sending me tickets
because I have a permission to use the help of the travel agency only because they do all travel things
and it is their business to arrange all travel things for my trip, such is the law. It is not possible to get a
work visa without the help of the agency, they have too strict rules of getting visas. I was sure my mom
will help me because she promised but now she sent a letter explaining it is possible only in few months
or so because of economic crisis. I was in the bank to try to ask them a loan but they said I need to
have a registration in Moscow to get a loan from their bank and I don't have it! I think it is not great
problem for you to help me. I even hope maybe it will be pleasure to help me because you are my
knight, right? after all payments here and my flight from Ekaterinburg
I have about 700 dollars of my own money and I need about 950 US dollars from your side because I have to pay
for my tickets and few more things, and I have to pay in advance about 1590 dollars. This price includes all
arrangements of documents and everything. I have to be sure that I will be able to book my tickets or I will
lose all the money I gave them in advance. I'm not going to ask one more time for your help, you see I am in
such situation... I will be waiting for your answer. I know it sounds like I am a poor outsider but you see
I don't have enough time to find the money I need and find somebody to help me, you know my mom gave me
all she could collect for my travel. I hate to ask but now I don't have any other choice. I need some help
from you, please help me to leave Moscow and it is all I ask now. Kiss you, counting days and minutes
before our meeting. You know it is only money, and I think it is not too hard for you to help me, you see
I have such chance only once in my life. I know you are a kind man and I hope you will be able to help
me. I promise I will return all the money and I will earn money because I am ready to work as hard as I
can! You know my rent address here is Russia, Moscow, Bolshaya Polyanka 59, flat - 120. Remember
my full name is Yana - (first name) Gouraleva - (last name). It is right writing in English, and you should
put it on Money Gram or western union list and you can choose any bank in Moscow, they tell it is
international service and I can pick up the money at any bank of Moscow. They said I can get only
Money Gram or western union transfer because I have not any bank accounts in Moscow and I have
only passport and it is enough to get it! If you need the address of Money Gram or Western Union in Moscow is
ALFA BANK
BOLSHAYA POLYANKA 30
Moscow, 109180
+7-495-788-8878
Actually I've been told you can send it to any of their offices. I can call you as soon as I receive the
transfer to let you know about it. And please after you complete a transfer write me the number of your
transfer, I'm not sure how it's call but they will give you a number of your transfer.
Million of Kisses,
Your Yana
P.S. I am not sure I should tell this but I want to let you know if you don't like me when I come I will not
bother you and it is only your choice to spend time with me or not. I know you may be too busy, and in
any case I will return the money back. I can have a room for rent if I want, a job and I want to say please
don't worry I don't want to use you just to reach my goal. I am sure when we meet we will have no
regrets about it, I promise. Please, don't leave me alone I've done so much to start this trip and I don't
want to give up. And I can stay more than six months, I can stay longer and I can prolong my visa. I want to get to know you better.....
to learn more things about you, to touch your hand.. look in your eyes..
