Maria/ Marina (Uhta, Russia) 

I am single father of 3 children, white American and 40 years old. I have work for  an automotive company as an engineer for 17.years. I did not lose any money but this scammer tried to get me to send them money (about 900USD) but I do not think I would ever send money to someone I have only know for two months. The scammer (Marina or Maria) never gave me their last name or answer my question and when I ask for a phone number and address I stop receiving letters. Last I knew you could still see a picture at http://www.ucandate.com/profile.php?id=2140787. I have not seen her picture in any of the black list that I went through here but some of the phrases used in my letters I received where used in the black list letters.  I hope this helps others Bruce

Dear friend Bruce. It is very pleasant, that you have answered my letter. I want to know more about you. I recently was on site of acquaintances and I liked your profile very much. I shall tell slightly about myself. My name is Marina. I am 30 years. I live in city Uhta. It is not large city in Russia. I work as a doctor in a isolation hospital for children. I am very cheerful woman and very much love children. I keep a healthy image of life, and engaged in sports, I go on dancing. I love to listen to music and to read the books. Still I take a great interest in cookery and knitting. I dream to find the partner of life. It will be kind, sympathetic, tender and clever man. I would like, that such man will become my husband and live with me all my life. As for children, I don't have any. But I am not against them. I want to have strong, amicable family. I has never been married. I live with my parents. I very much love them, but I should arrange the personal life. I like your country, its style of life, force and power. Therefore I am watching a man in it. May be, I am naive, but it seems to me, that with the help of Internet I can find the worthy man who is ready to share all my pleasures and problems. At school I studied English, and now I am engaged on rates on the English language. But my knowledge of language is not yet enough to communicate now. My letter I have translated with the computer translation program and dictionary. Do you understand me? I want to arrange the personal life. I want to find the man, which could become my husband. I want, that it was the kind, sympathetic, decent and clever man. I am tired from loneliness. The reliable support in life is necessary to me. As for me I am ready to become the fond and tender wife, good housewife for this man. I would like to learn your thoughts and intentions. I think they are serious. I can't promise you anything, let's be the friends. If you want to have fun, do not write me any longer, I will finaly learn about it. I need the man with serious intentions. You know, it seems to me, that you are respectable and honest man. I think, that we can understand each other. I hope for your answer. Yours faithfully Marina.

Dear friend Bruce. Yesterday I have received your letter and very much is glad. Did not think, that you will answer me so quickly. It is very pleasant to think, that there is a man on other party of a planet who is interesting of me. Your letter was very pleasant for me. Your thoughts seem to me close and clear. Unfortunately, I poorly know the English language. But it does not prevent me to understand you. In the first letter I have told you a little about myself. You, probably, want to know more about me. So, as I already spoke, I work as a teacher of primary classes. I have high pedagogical education, but, unfortunately, could not find work on the professional status (you know, it is difficult to do there, in Russia). But I am not sad. My work is very pleasant for me. I love children and I am ready to spend a lot of time for them. I live together with my parents. They the pensioners. The parents help me in life, and I am obliged them. You know, I very much love a family cosiness and family heat. I am the rather home woman. But do not think, that I am bore and sit all free time at home. I have friends, but not many. Basically they are my old girlfriends from institute, which I know well and trust. I have the best girlfriend - Yulia, we are the girlfriends from childhood. Recently she has started to correspond with the man from England.They have quickly come to an understanding and now they are already best friends, and can be even more. I think, that they will be good. Looking on them, I become both joyfully and sadly. Sadly because, that I can't find the partner of life for a long time. Yulia has advised me to advert Internet for finding the friends. I did not think, that somebody will answer me, I am badly familiar with Internet. I have no computer and phone at my home, and Yulia helps me to send the letters. I have tried, and has found you. Now I see, that Yulia was right. Internet is a miracle! Even one week ago I did not imagine our acquaintance, and now I am sitting and writing you the letter to the other side of planet to receive the answer. It is great, isn't it? In my opinion, I have distracted slightly. I shall continue the story about myself. As I already wrote, I very much like cooking and I know very many tasty dishes. My favourite dish is Pelemeni. Pelemeni is a simple Russian dish. They are prepared from the test and forcemeat. It is necessary to make a small ball of forcemeat and to turn it in small disk of the test, then to cook 5-7 minutes in water. But this is very high-calorie and tasty food, and it is possible quickly to be stout. But I keep up the figure and appearance. I consider, that the real woman should be beautiful both soul and body. Three years ago I have started to go to the dancing studio. The dances help me to support the form and vitality. In general I am very active and cheerful woman, but frequently there are moments in the life, when it becomes lonely and sadly. In my 30 years I don't have any personal life. It is sad to feel lonely. You know, in the first letter you have told about yourself not so much. I want to learn more about you. I want to learn, what you love in life, what your enthusiasmes, bent, your friends, your parents, your trade. What do you like to do in free time? How you treat me and my letters? Are my words and thoughts clear and close to you? If it so, I with the large impatience wait for your following letter. Yours truly Marina. 

4th 

Hi, Bruce. It was nice of you to answer me so soon. It was very pleasant for me to read your letter telling me about yourself and your life. Now I know much more about you. Your words seem frank, very warm and considerate. You might like to know that I told my mum about you yesterday. She was surprised. At first she was doubtful of our friendship, but after I read some of your letter, she thinks you can be trusted and asked me to say "hi". My mum is simply a miracle. At 57 she looks so young and beautiful that sometimes we are mistaken for girlfriends. Isn't that funny? She loves me very much and wishes for me to be happy. It seems she is very glad that we have met. My girlfriend, Yulia, was also delighted when I told her about you. Yulia hopes that things work out between us. I am very grateful to her. You see she has helped me get acquainted with you. If not for Yulia's help, I never would have written you. It is very pleasant for me to hear that you want to learn more about me. With pleasure I carry out your desire. I like to help children. At first I thought it will be difficult with them because, as you know, they are such the fidgets. But now we are one amicable family. I frequently play with them and have a good time. They love me for it and appreciate me very much. I love these little ridiculous men, such that they are. You see, children are such a miracle. My colleagues at work think that I pamper them too much. Actually, I simply give them my sincere warm feelings and caresses, filling their small hearts with kindness and tenderness. And kindness is the main key to understanding, respect and love. I think you share my opinion although you expressed it differently without such love and sympathy. I already told you that in my life there has been no serious relationship with a man. I see that men pay  attention to me, but I feel that their intentions are frivolous and insincere. I do not want fleeting relations based on account and deceit. All I want is to find that man who will completely understand, respect and love me. In return, I will give him all that he desires. Spiritual affinity and mutual understanding - this is what I am seeking in a man. This is what makes strong relations between a man and a woman. You seem to me to be that man who I can trust. You are very open and sincere. I think, Bruce, that you are not like other men, who laugh at my words and thoughts. I very much did not want to interrupt our relations. Write to me again. I wait with great impatience for your coming letters. Marina 

5th 

Hi, Bruce. Bruce, I am sorry I can't write before. Server where I have my e-Mail is very bad. I can't get your message until today. I will made new e-Mail. I think I give it in next letter, ok? It was pleasant to me again to receive your letter. Your letter has lifted to me mood and has forced me to smile. Today I had heavy day. There was a lot of work. In the first half of day I conducted lessons and drove children on excursion in a museum. There was the exhibition of pictures of Russian artists. They were very beautiful. Children were glad to excursion, but I am very tired. In second half of day I carried out(spent) assembly of the parents and finally was beat out from forces. Besides on a way home, in the bus, overflown by the people, some drunk man has pushed me in a shoulder so strongly, that it hurts me till now. It so low! You see most of all in the men I do not bear(take out) their roughness in relation to a weaker sex. Know, Bruce, majority of the Russian men are such rude fellows and boors, that seem similar on bears. I hope, you will forgive my ironical tone, it is simple helps me to get rid of feeling of weariness and sadness. I am helped also by that I am shared with you by the experiences and feelings. Bruce, I want to say you my real name is Maria. Sorry that I made you mistaken. It's very long history. When I was a student I had girlfriend she was my namesake. All our group give me name Marina, because all had confuse. Now I get accustomed. All my friends and familiar call me Marina. I am sorry again. You can call me as you wish, but it appears as Maria in my indentification. Your letter has lifted my mood. It is very pleasant to me to read it and to feel your hidden presence. As though you stand behind my back and talk with me. Oh, as it is a pity, that only my imagination. It is a pity, that I can not see your person and to hear your voice. It is a pity, that the kilometers separate us. It is a pity, that it is not possible to jump the Atlantic ocean which is not tiny brook. Because I can jump over the tiny brook on my way to you.. We are a pity, that not together. I inexpressibly I shall be glad to answer to you again and again. See you again. Yours Maria.  

P.S. I have some photos. They are from Black Sea. It was last summer when I went for rest with my girlfriend Yulia. She made them. 

6th 

Hi my dear Bruce. I can not hide excitement, which covers me now. Your letters become all hot and more frank. You are so lovely and is close to me, to my feelings and experiences. And apperend to me by such close and clear, that I feel to you unusual draft and need. Bruce, my new e-Mail is mariapes@mailru.com. At work I have one more pleasant news expected. My salary was raised. Now each month instead of 1000 roubles ($35), I shall receive 1300 roubles ($45). It will seem to you Bruce, probably, ridiculous, but at us in Russia it refers to as " as the average salary ". Other part of day has passed very quickly and imperceptibly. After work (at evening) I have hurried to Yulia to read your answer. When I have found out, that from you the letter has come, my pleasure was not of a limit. With an inexplicable sincere alarm I read your lines and with each second, there was all hearty and hearty to me. As you are lovely and is sympathetic. It seems, that I any more can not live without your letters! Bruce ever more I understand, that all of us are necessary each other stronger! All is stronger I want to see you! I know, Bruce that you wish me our meeting not less. But both of us understand, that it is impossible. But I want to see you, your eyes, I want to hear your vote, I want to feel your gentle touch to me!!!  Where are you, Bruce? I want to feel your breath and to kiss your lips!!! I want to be with you!!! With an ardent kiss yours Maria. 

P.S. Sorry, I don't understand you about money. 

7th 

Hi, Bruce. Today I very much was afflicted with one very important event. I already spoke to you, that I send the letters using the Yulia's computer. You see, Bruce, soon our meetings will be complicated. Today she has told me, that she is going to leave to the fiance to Belgium. Oh as she was happy. I very much was delighted for her. But then I have understood, that I can not any more so frequently write to you. She has told me, that two weeks ago has applyed for the visa for 350$ and tomorrow she is going to buy the ticket to Moscow. Approximately, in one week she leaves. I am in confusion. I simultaneously both am glad for her and I feel bitterness. I can not write to you so frequently. I, certainly, can use the computer at work, but unfortunately there is no access in Internet. Yulia had the credit for one month in Internet and I could answer you at any time. But I can not allow such credit to myself. It is very expensive for me. Most likely I shall use an Internet-card on days off. It is too expensive for me, but I can not do another way. I do not want to lose you. Now for me it is the most important to feel your hidden presence each evening. I am too strongly adhered to you. I can not without you. Believe me, Bruce, for our sincere affinity it is not a pity now anything. Money means nothing for me. We still have time. Even one week. 7 days of boundless happiness and heat. Now I do not want to waste any minutes. I shall wait for your letters with the large impatience and tremor. I am sorry, Bruce, that my letter such short and problematic today. I probably seem to be an egoist. Sorry me, that I am not interested your businesses. Simply today's news very much has shaken and has afflicted me. Therefore I speak only about it. You see there is nobody to share this problem except you. Know, Bruce, that I more former want meeting with you. Know, that all is interesting to me that you write, all what you speak with me. Write to me again, please. I can live not without your letters. I can live not without you. I am so afraid to lose you. I want to be with you forever. I love you. Hotly whole, yours Maria. 

8th and last and ask for money 

Bruce, I have a crazy idea. I want to visit you. It would be very interesting for me to see your country. And it would be very special to meet you. I'd like to see you and how you live. I'd like to meet your friends. Bruce, I understand that it maybe hard. Bruce, I have found some information about visiting you. You see I need visa to come to your country. I located the company here that engaged in tourist travel and emigration. They said that now government of your country is practicing in giving visa in 5 days. It is realy fast. They said that they have ties with embassy in Moscow. So they can arrange all things here. They said that it will take more time to get visa in Moscow, because there is long line there. Maybe some months and I will need to go there several times. It is not safety and additional charges. I told them about you. They said that it is good for me because there will not be any problems. Then I asked them about charge. They told that I must pay about 300$ (9000 rubles). I was very upset with it. You see my salary is not enough to save it. And I have no any savings. I greatly feel uncomfortable to ask you for help. But I realy need it. Bruce, if you could help me with it we could meet very soon. You see it will be cheaper for me to visit you than you visit me here. As for ticket I learned that I can buy ticket with discount in Aeroflot company as a teacher. Our trade union has some seats reserved for different professors and teachers. I think the price of ticket will be about 700 USD. Tell me what do you think of it? Maria  

Natalya Trank (Samara Russia)

This is Sean, from New Mexico. Thank you for publishing this scam list. I
last informed you of a scammer named Katya from Yoshkar-Ola. I have received letters from another scammer named "Natalya".

Name: Natalya
Email: nata_t@hotbox.ru
Name on friendfinder.com: nata_trank

This is the first letter:

Hi, my name is Natalya. I live in Russia. I work as a seller in a fur store.I love children and animals very much. I am 25 years old. I want to get acquainted with the man, who will be a support in my life. I agree to get acquainted with a man from 30 and older. For me age is not the main thing. The main thing is that there is love and mutual understanding! I do not notice a difference in ages. I'm waiting for your letters. Please send your letters to nata_t@hotbox.ru

This is the second letter:

I'm so pleased that you can understand my not so good English language. I has learned it in school and in College. I'm 170 centimeters tall, my weight is 58 kg. I studied economics, I'm a seller in a fur store. I live in Samara. I want to say you, that I love children very much. I have an experience of dialogue directly with Russian people, but they are not adapted, it is serious too. And they drink alcohol very frequently and it is not so pleasant to me. I think, that such habit is not a gift. I want to inform you that I do not smoke, and I do not drink strong drinks. But sometimes I like to drink in the good company a small glass of grape vine, though it happens very seldom. I want to say, that I play the piano, I have finished musical school, I've studied for 6 years. I want to inform, that I live with my mum and father. My grandfather unfortunately has died, 7 years ago. I want to say, that I like various music, but mostly classical. I want to be serious. My relations with you are to find love and to create happy family. I will be glad if you want the same. I want to say, that I write to you from an office computer.Unfortunately I have no the computer at home. I hope, that it will not be a problem. I hope you'll answer me soon. 
Yours, Natalya.

I don't know where she got my name or e-mail address, but this one works very  quickly. By the third and fourth letters from Olga, she was requesting money for travel and a visa, totalling $920. I was aware of this site, so I did not get scammed.

Letter Requesting Money

Some days ago I was so glad that I've found you but now I realize that we need more than just writing. We need to talk to each other face to face, to see each other, to be together. Virtual love is good but the real one is better. Of course we could continue this way for mounths or years but it will not make us closer. Let's meet. I felt it from the very beginning but today I've seen the omen. I've walk in the street and seen the announce about the advertising action of one travel agency. They provide flight tickets to America for a double less price. It's just $850. But the most important thing is that they open an American visa during 3 days for $350, which is usually costs $500. From the first sight I've thought it's very expensive, but when I siented the offers of other agencies it's really double up to three times cheaper. But the most increadable thing is that this action is going to be only during one week. Like it was done specially for us. We have not to pass this perfect opportunity. I don't have that much money. My country is poor and everything I have is 280$. I was saving this money to buy a gass hiter "Unkers" to get a hot water in my flat.  If you will send me the rest amount of money - in one week I'll be in your arms, my dear. All the travel expences that is visa and ticket will cast us $1200 ($850+$350). You need to send me $920 and together with my $280 it will be an exact ammount we need. And we will finally fullfill our dreams. Duane ,do not delay with the concrete steps.Send me the money via Western Union Money Transfer organization www.westernunion.com to my name as soon as possible. I have so much to say to you in person than I can hardly wait to meet you, my love. 
P.S.If you haven't understood something, please, ask quick because the time doesn't wait.

Olga Yureva (Kemerovo, Russia)

I'm a single American age 40. Olga Yureva first emailed me from  matchclick.com on Jan 23, 2002. Our exchange lasted until today, Feb 12th  2002, with almost daily emails and photos. She was even able to provide an  MP3 file of herself. The story that she told me was identical to the ones listed on your site already. Boy did I feel like a fool. She was asking for $350 for a visa and $1200 for a ticket. just for reference she/he? said" My address Russia
 650099
city of Kemerovo
street of Lenin 44-53."
I can not express how grateful I am that you have this blacklist. 
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. You have saved me at least $1500.

Pavlo Sirotyuk (Volovets, Ukraine)

Hi, my name is Christoff Gibson. I was just scammed by Pavlo Sirotyuk just like Jason Wright. Like him I was not looking for a Russian girl, but I had put my profile on Yahoo personals. Pavlo or Pava first contacted me on February 6th 2002 with pretty much the exact same message she sent Jason Wright.

Letter 1

Dear christoff420. I saw your personal add. You know  you are very interesting person. It'll make me upset  if it was only a joke. My name is Pavlo (it sounds  like [PAVLA] in English). But friends call me Pava. I' m 23 years old. And I'm from Ukraine, The former  republic of USSR. I hope you'll drop me a line and who knows… I'll be waiting for your letter very much. I  also have many pictures if you want to see. 
Sincerely yours. 
Pavlo.

I replied thinking "What the heck?". Then on February 10th she sent the this email, which again is almost word for word the email she sent Jason.

Letter 2

Dear Christoff, thank you very much for your answer. And excuse me for my long time answer if it was so. I don't have a computer and Internet connection. I'm really very glad you've wrote me back and I hope you'll do it again.Let me describe myself. My name is Pavlo, but my friends call me Pava. I'm 23 and I used to live in Belovo, but now I'm a student and study at Volovets at Architecture College. So I may say that I live in Volovets in Ukraine now. I don't have any brothers or sisters, as for my parents they live in the north of Russia they don't live with me because my father have a job there, so here in Volovets I'm alone. I have many friends like any student who lives in student's hostel. But I haven't a loving person. May be you think that I'm too young to think in such way, but I think you know what life means without love. And another point, to my opinion every person have to think about the future. Every person wants to love and to be loved but not everyone tells about it. As for me I want to try to find my second part in life through this agency, create a loving family and have children. I think such words are not surprising you. I have never been abroad and honestly I want so much. I like to travel very much and I was mostly in every part of Ukraine. I'll not type such typical phrases, as I love animals and nature and so on. I'm a common person and love good and interesting things like each of us. You know, now you and I are trying our fate! And who knows, may be someday we'll meet. Thank you again for your letter and hope it will not be the last one. 
Sincerely yours.
Pava.

I thought she was a very hot girl so I again replied only to get the third email which was also sent to Jason.

Letter 3

Dear Christoff.
Thank you very much for the answer. I'm really happy to receive your letters. My mother made these pictures last summer in Lviv. I don't have manyquestions as you thought. I only want to know what a person are you, how strong can you love and can I believe you or not. To tell you the truth I like your letters, but what a person behind them?   I'm all right. Studying my lessons and so on...The main subjects I study at the Academy are Philosophy, English, Arts and Design, architecture of course and many different common subjects which everyone study at any University. My major is flats and houses design. I'll graduate next year. My Academy will take part at an international student's exchange program in early May and I'm going to take part there too, I very hope we'll meet in spring:-)(if you don't mind of course) I have never been abroad but sometimes I imagine that some day may be I'll travel somewhere far then my country border. I don't know if you lived in students hostel like me, but it's not the place I want to stay. Here is not very cold about -5*C and it's snowing a little all the week, everyone feel that winter is passing by and spring is coming:-) Mostly forgot, may be I'll not be able to speak with you through Internet for some months, but If you only know how I want to. The problem is that I don't have my own computer and Internet connection, so  I have rent a computer and use a provider, but in our country it's very expensive. I have to pay them for each letter that comes from you and that I send you. Internet in our country is very new thing and every one who has it try to use it with his own rules. It's very shame for me, I have to be honest with you, but my money comes to an end. Please only say if you can help me with money for our correspondence. Hope to have another letter from you. I'll be waiting it very much. 
Sincerely yours.
Pava.

I became very suspicious after she asked for money so I did a web search where I came across your site. I couldn't believe it when I read the emails that were sent to me almost exactly word for word posted on your site. That was this morning, February 12th and I sent her an email telling her that my good friend Jason Wright of Indiana had told me that I shouldn't send her any money. Luckily I found your site before I even had a chance for the 4th email, although I wouldn't have offered to send her money anyway. The email address she used to correspond with me was apelsinka2002@yahoo.com . Thank you very much for your site, which enable me to realize the scam before I actually fell for her crap and I really hope that I will in some way help someone else from falling for her lies.

My name is Chris live in Australia. The lady named Svetlana Ulmasova sent me a Email at 14th Jan., 2002. Her user name at date.com is 344334. She said she wanted to marry me. But the first thing in  my mind was "Me I so lucky to have such beautiful girl wanted to marry me?"  Then few days later I found womenrussia.com. I found her same story listed at page 62 just used a different name as Olya Sergeeva. Then I knew she only wanted money. So I played with her almost half a month. finally she disappeared. I haven't lost any money. Here are her first two E-mails.

Tatyana Sergeeva (Cheboksary, Chuvashia, Russia)

Seems I have been very lucky. Looked on a whim at your blacklist and found Tatyana Sergeeva's name has appeared a few times.. "she/he"? is advertising on kiss.com now as "pinkbird". If she follows the previous system used on other men, the next letter will be the money one..
Thanks for the site..

Letter 1

Thank for your letter! I am very glad to receive it. I for the first time use such way acquaintance. I do not know that it will be, but very much I hope that it really. Unfortunately I can not write now much. Last days my health not so good. It is very sad, that it is necessary to begin our acquaintance to such short letter. I send you 2 my photos which are made in studio one week earlier. I not model, but me have invited to try a photo in studio and I has agreed to try. But this experience is not successful. I have no very bright  appearance as model. Later I shall send others (not professional) photo. You should look and think if you want to write such woman. I shall wait the answer, please send me your photos and a lot of information about your life. If I shall receive it I shall answer necessarily and to write much about me.I wait your letter,
With hope
Tanya.
Sorry for other e-mail. Pink_bird@mail.ru not work.

Letter 2

Hello Stewart!
I am very glad to receive the letter from you. I wait your photos. I feel better. I had little flue, but now I?m all right. How are you? It is a little about my life. I was born and has grown in Cheboksary city the capital of Chuvashia republic which there is in the central part of Russia on the river Volga. If you will look acard you will see Samara, Yaroslavl, Novgorod and below small city Cheboksary. It is my home. It is good city and certainly I love my city. We have many factories and one of largest in Russia electrical station. But therefore in our city not so good ecology. It is  sad. I was born on June 12, 1973 in teachers family. The parents very much love me and have given me good education. I too very much love my parents and is very grateful to them for all. They tried to give me all that it is necessary for me. I was engaged in sports: swimin, tennis, etc. Now I have no a lot of time for sports but I always try to support my figure run on mornings and sometimes aerobics employment. From childhood my parents have learned me to love the books and theatre. I very much love to read. I love to learn about new people, various cultures and nations, very much I love the historical novels about the brave knights with devoted and gentle heart, about the perfect women, which gave back the love only to one man, I love to read about love, which gives the people force to go through all troubles and failures, about the people, which are ready to give life for happiness of the favourite man. I dream of travels to the far perfect countries (I earlier never left Russia). Oh stop! I can write about the dreams and ideals indefinitely, I do not want to borrow much your time. Probably for he first letter you want more to learn about my life. After the ending school I have acted in Pedagogical institute and has received a speciality " the teacher a home facilities". It not an absolutely pedagogical trade. Probably more creative. I train the small girls to do a home  facilities. It includes very many things: Cookery, sewing, gardening, care of the child, home design, various female cunnings and wisdom. It very much is pleasant to me. My schoolgirls always with great desire visit my lessons. They understand that for the woman these things should be on the first place. I very much love  children and very much I love to learn something from my schoolgirl, they tell to me ecrets of their mums and I frequently study at them. It is magnificent! Now I work at school. In free time I love to visit theatre, cinema, concerts, to read and to be engaged in sports. I very much love ice-cream. Now about the reasons, which have helped me to get acquainted with you. Stewart I for the first time have decided to use such way of acquaintance as the Internet. It was advised me by my girlfriend, which one year lives in America with the man, which has found her in the Internet. Then they long corresponded, have decided that is necessary to meet and now they are very happy. I understand, that you probably can not understand why I can not find the man in my  country. If honourly I not can exact to explain. I shall not deny that the men pay attention to me. But I am very much disappointed by our men. Very much it would not be desirable to speak about it, but it is necessary to recognize, that the validity not always so is pleasant and easy as the love novel. It is sad. The men actually very much differ from the heroes of the books. The majority of the men in our city use a lot of alcohol, some take drugs, they beat the women, very rough and malicious. Certainly not all such probably are the gentle and kind men but unfortunately I have not met while such. My ideal is the men the clever strong man probably grown-up than I which have a steady rule and gentle fond heart, the man, which will love me and our children and to care of me. I want to have the real friend, careful husband, gentle lover and good father for our children in one body. Probably I am too requiring, but I believe that in the world there is such the man and I believe that once I meeting him and I shall tell to him that I waited and all life searched him and to give him all my love. Please forgive my mistakes mine English not so good, so much I want to tell, but I know so few words... Is sad. Thank for attention. With hope I wait your letter.

Ylia Kopilova (Ulan Ude, Russia)

I am a just divorced 34 years old lonely man. 
I just found out that the "love of my life" was a scammer. The bad thing is that I found it out five hours after she picked up the money. I am not going to say how much she took from me because I feel like the most stupid person in the world. I think that happens when you desperately need someone. Anyway, I am sending this letter because I do not want anybody else to suffer the same consequences. At the beginning she seemed to me like a very innocent person that was just unlucky with love. Her letter were in really bad English but very sweet. The e-mail address she used is ylia3840@fromru.com.
