I'd like to thank you for the quality of information contained on your website; your direct and candid discussion of issues and perceptions
was a welcome change from the plethora of sales pitches otherwise available.

Also, I just recently purchased your Anti-Scam guide (about a week ago) and found it to be very enlightening and helpful.  Easily worth the small price you charge, and you have my gratitude for providing it.  Given that my efforts are still in the exploratory phase, I can count myself lucky to have found you when I did.

Galina Bakumenko (Cheboksary, Russia)

I'm a 48yo divorced man looking to start life over once again. I'm well educated and well travelled and have some background with Russia, so like the rest of the men on this site I had a look at the Russian Brides on the Net.. I first noticed Galina / Galya / Gala on www.kiss.com, listed as "RussianMiss" 
Her photos were most appealing, so I wrote her. I then got the same letters as Steve received, word for word. The same appeals for money to cover internet costs, the lot. 
I did not send her any money as I was suspicious, but until this latest update was published I was not aware that she actually was a scammer - I only suspected that. I have contacted kiss.com, but no response as yet.
Good luck guys, and thanks Steve!

Galina Krasnoyarsk (Russia)

My name is Dusty,I'm a 29yr old single male with no children.On march 4 of this year I recieved an email from "happy251491" at friendfinder.She asked If I was interested to write her at "olgagirl 20009@pochtamt)I did so and I told her I was a little nervous about writing her because of all of the scam artists I had heard of but I had a good feeling about her. Needless to say, she never wrote back. 
I was afraid I had offended her so I tried to write back,..no response. A couple of weeks went by and I recieved another email from a girl named Galina (never gave a last name)her email was Galinaru@fromru. She told me she liked my profile very much and wanted to get to know me. I asked where she had seen my profile and this was the beginning of her letter:

Hi, my dearest friend Dusty! I am writing you from Russia.I have seen your profile on the internet site, but unfortunately how exactly it called, I think that it is not important and I am decide to use my chance to get acquainted with you... 

I smelled a mouse! A friend told me to check out your site for the "Blacklist" 
WOW!!! 
There she was only using another name "Ludmila 
Vinogradova" from Kemerovo but Galina told me she was from Krasnoyarsk? I did some more investigating in your blacklist and found out that Ludmila alias Galina alias Olga were all the same person!! 
I hope I can save some guys a lot of trouble.

Letter

Hello, dear Dale!
Thank you so much for your letter. Darling, I am really very glad that we met here because I want to have a person in my life to rely upon. I want to be a weak woman by his side. You know, your letter was perfect, and it had so many colors. Very interesting. I would like to tell you a little bit more in this letter because I think it is important for relations. I think you wonder what my family is. Well, I am the only child in my family. My parents are retired already and I am their "late child". They were in their thirties when I was born. I love my parents very much (they live in Kiev region) but I think it is important to have children when one is still young. I was a spoiled child and a great egoist, but now I am not the same. My parents are good people, my father is veterinar and my mother is a book keeper. But now they do not work. I visit them as often as I can do it. It is always good for me to leave a city and visit them, to breathe a clean air and listen to the silence. But at the same time I cannot spend a lot of time there because I am cosmopolitan and I like to live in a city. I like its fuss, I like to be busy, I like my work and I have many friends here. So, as far as you see, my family is small, that is why I dream about a big family, children's laughing and this fuss, maybe a dog or a cat. I want to be surrounded with grandchildren when I am old mam. My parents dream about grandchildren so much, they keep elling me: Luda, do you have a  boyfriend? Luda, when will you present us a few little children? I think they are just like all the people who want to be with children. Once my mom even told me: Luda, my honey, I feel that I won't be able to see my grandchildren and it makes me very sad. You know, I was shocked. I think they deserve to have them and I want it so much. It made me think that there is nothing on the Earth more important than family and children. You can have a good interesting job, you can have many hobbies, you can travel or do whatever you like, but after yo are tired of living just for yourself, you just stop and think: God, what will I leave here on this Earth? You start to admire the children of your friends ( many of my friends have them already) and you feel lonely. Well, enough of this now or you will think I am ill. I have many hobbies and without them my life would be very boring. For example, I like working out in a gym 3 times a week. In Spring and Summer I jog in the morning. I am never tired to care about my body and my soul. That is why I eager new impressions in everything. I am not very experienced in love because I have never met a man in my life to whom I wanted to give all my life. But it is not that I hate man, I have a lot of male friends. As for my future life-partner, I imagine him to be fun-loving, mature, decisive, romantic man who is tired of loneliness like myself. He loves flowers, children, he is caring and understanding. My favorite flowers are roses. My favorite colors are blue, white, red. I like classic clothes which is very simple and practical. I think a woman should use all her 100% no matter where she is because she will always be a woman and she should be charming and pleasant to look at.  I am a calm person but at the same time I have so much energy, I always try to share it with people I love. I am very loyal, I cannot lie and betray a person no matter it is my friend or just a person I have just met. I think people would be kinder if they do not lie to each other. In any case one can forgive and forget but one cannot forgive if someone lies. I am just this kind of a person. Darling. Assuming all the words said about honesty and loyalty, I would like to discuss with you a very important decision I have to make. The matter is that 2 weeks ago I decided to go to the agency that helps people to find each other. A contract with this agency is made for three months and all the correspondence is made via this agency. And now I  understand the mistake I have done. I cannot know neither your  addresses in the Internet nor your postal address and telephone number.  I also cannot send you my personal data of this kind. They are not  included in the contract. I only can keep corresponding with you and  another men who have written me letters. Actually I liked you and only  to you I feel a strong bond. I do not like these conditions of the agency  and I want to make a personal contact with you. On the other hand I can  pay for your address in the amount 100$ and this way we will be able to meet, to write to each other without any restrictions. But understand me the right way. Realizing that I am a real existing girl who is interested on you and wants to start a family very soon I am at the same time do not know your real intentions. Please, do not be upset with my words, but for me this sum is a great sum and it constitutes all my salary for one month, that is why I cannot risk. What I wanted to ask you for is to prove the same interest and the same serious intentions with me. I think that your assistance in this buying an address will prove everything for me and I will be happy to be with you and keep corresponding on my account. If you find this sum a big one for yourself, we could pay for it fifty/fifty. I am ready to pay because I find this decision the best one which will help us in the future. I am ending my letter with the words that I hope we will do something with this situation because I speak English and you and me won't have any problems communicating in the future. All the letters which were sent to you were composed for myself. I am sending you a million of kisses.Nothing is made in vain on this planet. If we met here, than I believe we are somehow created for each other. Anyway, it was a great pleasure for me to correspond with you and I hope you liked our correspondence also.
Best regards,
luda

Marina Alexandrova (Chita, Russia)

I am a 40 year old male who had a profile on a site called altmatch.com here in the US. About three weeks ago, Marina contacted me and it was very casual at first. She said that she was 29, gave her height and weight, and provided me with some history. No agency was involved, she contacted me personally. Eventually she told me after about three letters that she had fallen in love with me and could not imagine herself living without me. No problem, I said I would be in Europe and would stop by and see her. After I told her that, she said that she couldn't wait and she wanted to come to the US right away. She sent me the following letter, her only solicitation for money (so far):

Letter

Greetings my love, Phil.
Thank for a fine poem. Very much it was pleasant to me. I am glad that you want to arrive to me, but I too wish to visit you in USA. I called in the American embassy, they have advised me to take the visa of the tourist, This visa B-2, she (it) is valid during 90 days. She (it) costs (stands) 320 dollars, but I now do not have such money. If you can, have gone them to me through Western Union, the address of branch:

I called to the uncle to Moscow and it (he) has told that can make to me the ticket at a discount, but for this purpose it is necessary to know where the international airport nearest to you. Still I talked to my girlfriend which works in travel agency and she (it) has told me that visa B-2 the best variant that to us you to meet.

Marina Alexandrova (Chita, Russia)-2

I am a single, white male 41 years of age, and employed as a business consultant. The contact was a referral though oneandonly.com. She gave me the story of how they moved to new apartment, but did not have a phone. There was a non-existant, or undeliverable address. There were some questions she did not directly answer. This woman fits the profile of another woman named Alya Aleksandrova. I had flowers sent that could not be delivered to her so called address. She professed her love for me and wanted to come to the U.S. It was then that she asked for 320.00 for a visa, had an uncle that was a pilot in Moscow, girlfriend working for a travel agency, and so on. I was in the in the process of sending her the visa money when something told me to investigate. 
Thank God I found your website. 
Thank You!!

I have written a poem for you: 
We'll take a walk together
near the ocean shore,
and I'll kiss your naked body
as you cry with tears of joy...
While I hold you close to me
and keep you from the cold,
we'll whispher to each other
little secrets left untold...
Your busom so inviting
as I beg for your embrace,
it's warmth is so exciting
while tears of pleasure run my face...
And as you lay upon me
I can look into your eyes,
like a gateway into heaven
as the moon begins to rise...
We make love to each other
like the world will never end,
we passionately kiss one another
while time just seems to bend...
I love you so so so so much!!!!!!
And I want you!!!!
I hope it to you it is pleasant, I have enclosed all love to you these lines. My love boils as a volcano woken by god Eros, she it tries to escape outside, but does not find an exit in absence of you. I wait for our meeting, as the young schoolgirl of the first appointment in life. I think that I am similar on Juliettewhich waits for a  meeting with beloved. But I hope that at us with you all Will be at all so is sad as at them. I called in the American embassy, they have advised me to take the visa of the tourist, This visa B-2, she (it) is valid during 90 days.

Marina Lyzhina (Orenburg, Russia)

In October of 2001 I received an e-mail from a Russian girl saying that she had seen my picture in a personal ad on the Internet, and was wondering if I would like corresponding with her. Her name is Marina Lyzhina and she told me she was from Orenburg, Russia. At first I was a little hesitant, but I said to myself what do I have to lose. So I decided to write your back as a courtesy. Soon we were writing each other virtually on a daily basis. She seemed very sincere and very interested in me. She told me about her daily experiences and hardships. After about a 1½ months into our correspondence she told me of her desire to come and live with me in the United States. I had done some research into Russian women and found out that they were considered very traditional and loyal. This was what I was looking for in a woman since many American women are nontraditional and not very loyal. She had not asked me for any money to this point. This also, followed what I had read about Russian women. I had thought she seemed very sincere about her motivation. So therefore I had told her that I would pay for her travel and Visa. 

It is now December, and I arranged Marina's travel to Moscow to prepare the Visa paperwork while she stayed with her Aunt Olga, so she said. After she had supposedly arrived in Moscow, she wrote me saying that she was feeling ill. She had also told me that everything was going fine and that she would have the Visa by the December 10 and that she would arrange a flight for December 12. She originally told me that the flight would cost $802. The next day I had found a flight or $746 and told her I would buy this ticket for her. She then wrote back and said that her and Olga had found a flight for $546. She had told me that the deal would only be available for a few days. She knew that the flight I had found was a non-refundable ticket. I certainly was skeptical at this point but felt how could she lie to me now. So I sent the money Western Union as I had done with the original money, $295 for her flight to Moscow and the Visa. It had taken her two days to pick up the money in Moscow. It was only the next day when she picked up the money in Orenburg. I surmised later that she had never left Orenburg until I had sent the money to Moscow. I did not hear from anyone for over a week after sending the money. Then I received an e-mail from what was supposedly Aunt Olga saying that Marina was sick with influenza and in the hospital. I was extremely skeptical now and beginning to come to the realization that I was and had been scammed out of my money. Another week went by an only another e-mail from Aunt Olga saying Marina was getting out of the hospital soon. Finally, the e-mail I was hoping would not come finally came. Marina e-mail me saying that she had her Visa, airline ticket and money stolen in a subway. This was her final deception. I told her that the airline and Visa agency should have a record of her payment and she should be able to get a refund of the ticket and Visa. I told her I was not sending any more money Western Union. She wrote back and said she could not get a refund. She also hinted at me sending her more money. This was the last time I had heard from her. 

I have been sending Marina the same e-mail since the beginning of January. She has yet not replied to my e-mail, but the e-mails continue to go through. Her Internet address is still active, marina_1974@krovatka.net and I am sure she is trying her deception on other American men. I hope you will help me in stopping her from scamming money out of any other American men. This whole experience, other than losing over $1,000, has been very traumatic to me.
Sincerely,
Martin J. Verelst

Letter

Hi my dear love Marty!!! I am very glad to receive your warm and lovely letters with your love for me your photo my darling. I love your words of this nice song, I love you my Marty. I know that our hearts will together always, because OUR LOVE IS ETERNAL, this great feeling connects the another people and us through a continents. My dear, my love Marty, as it seems, this feeling which includes a three basic feelings. These feelings are a trust, careful attitude to each other, and complete understanding to each other, sometimes even understanding without words,do you agree with me my darling? But not looking on that LOVE is very strong great feeling, it also is very fragile, realy my dear, because only one word or an not right action can destroy it and already anybody willn't can to restore this great feeling. Probably, you will think that a purpose of all my correspondence with you it is only desire to leave for America. Believe me my darling, it is not so my love, the fact in that when I began to write to you, I couldn't to believe what it is possible to fall in love through the Internet. I thank Internet that we found each other my darling. Only I have decided to try to do it and that from this it has turned out. We with you love each other very much and we should be together, because we can't withoiut each other my darling. I have learned much in the searches as we want to meet each other very much. My dear, I have a good news for us my darling Marty. My mum called to our aunt Olga to Moscow at last. My aunt Olga has said to my mum at last day that she has learned how much cost a visa and a passport. She called in embassy and there have said to my aunt Olga that it will be better for us, if I will have the visa of a tourist. This visa will valid during 12 months. It is one year my darling. With this visa I can travel till USA without any restrictions. The price of the visa, asmy aunt Olga was informed in embassy, is 155 US dollars. Besides the process of registration of the visa costs 55 US dollars. By the way my aunt as has taken an interest about other kinds of the visas, as to her have said, that there is a set of kinds of the visas. For example, visa of a bride. My aunt has thought that this visa of bride approaches to us, but her in embassy have said that this visa costs more expensively and its registration costs a lot of money. It is 480 dollars and the registration of the visa will during 4,5 months, it is very long. From it because the tourist visa is better variant than visa of bride now for us my love Marty. My Marty, I want to ask you my dear, that you will help me with the money recourses on the documents. As probably you know an economic situation in our country, simply it is awful, and at school don't give the salary to teachers during a long time. Our government explains it to those that they simply don't have money and they havn't a recourses on the salary for the teachers. By the way I ask you my dear send to me 295 dollars. It is certainly large money, you probably have thought what is it more than the cost of the visa. But I must have a recourses on the air plane ticket from Orenburg to Moscow too the cost of which is 2520 russian rubles or it is 85 US dollars. By the way my aunt Olga will find the prices of the air ticket for the fling to you in USA too. She will say about it later through a few days, she will find a cheaper airtickets, also she ask you to say to me about the air tickets which cost in USA, ok my dear? But now at first I will must to begin a process of the registration of all necessary documents for my fling to you my Marty. If you will send me money recourses, it will be better for making through a system of Western Union. As to me my aunt Olga and Carl has said, it is the best and fast translation system, besides this sistem is a safe. By the way when Carl helped to Katya with the necessary documents for Katya's coming, Carl used the sistem of the Western Union too. You will may use the sistem of MoneyGram too as Carl said. He sent a money to Katya as help her with a recourses on the visa, passport and air ticket too. 
My dear Marty, when you will send the money, send it on this address, which is here: 
GazPromBank,
161 Turkestanskaya Str.,
 Orenburg City, 
460021, 
Russia, 
Marina Lyzhina. 
When you will sent me the recourses, it will be necessary for me that you must send me the an important information which from you required at a parcel of money. It is ten-digits, that is "Money Transfer Control Number" or MTCN. Without these data I can'treceive the money which are necessary for my coming to you my dear Marty. My Marty, I understand that it is a large money, but me any more on whom I can to rely and on this I ask you about your help with it. We with you love each other very much and we will together, simply I am sure in it my darling. I am waiting and I am dreaming for a moment of our meeting in your airport my Marty. I will cry in this moment, because it will from our happiness my dear Marty. I dream as we will live together my darling, to go for a walk, keeping for our hands my love Marty. I want that you will show me your native land, a places where you like to go for a walk and you like to spend a more your time. I want very to be with you my, I want it very much my dear, I love you and I miss you my love Marty. My mum and dad say you a hot hi and Carl and Katya too. They hope that we will together soon. 
Thinking about you my darling Marty,
Forever, your love 
Marina.


Natalia Arsibekov (Syktyvkar, Russia)

My story is exactly the same as the one currently posted on your site by Kevin from Kansas. Natalia responded to an add I placed with Neodates. She seems to have a very good scam. I received a total of 8 e-mails from her. The first 7 did not give me any reason to doubt her sincerity. I offered to fly out to visit her. Her last e-mail appears to be a form letter, as it is exactly like Kevin's. Fortunately I approached his situation cautiously and had already told myself that I would sever contact if she ever asked for money. Her brother has turned into a sister. She works in marketing instead of teaching. 
Brian

Letter #1

My dear friend Brian, it is so nice that you keep writing me! I hope that you are also aimed at a long-term relationship. I wish to start a new life with that one who is gentle, kind and loving with the whole heart. To say honestly I'm tired from short-term relationships. And I never let them to be very close to me because I did not trust them. I could not find here a reliable man. All of them seem to be devoted their lives for drinking and clarifying relationships between themselves. But maybe just the chance was not given yet to me to find HIM. Today it was sunny. All day long I internally hoped that you would reply me. It has happened - so great. All day long I was busy with the usual stuff I do. I'm a specialist in marketing working for a small company. This company trades in common food products and has a couple of small shops here. So I make all market analysis and statistics. Unfortunately their business does not blossom nowadays and there is a need in a strong and working manager. So basically I'm not satisfied very much in what I'm doing now. I mean in what I'm paid now. But I like my place of work. I have my own computer. I know that computers in the USA are widely spread. But here only a small part of the population possesses computers. So I'm lucky in a way :-) Being lucky I still have problems to perceive this machine. Sometimes it is going crazy and I wish there were a button on the keyboard like "enough". Unfortunately I have no computer at home. But I always can devote a couple of moments to write you a letter from here at work. Sometimes I'm late here busy with some tasks so do not be surprised if you receive a late letter. I live in a two-room apartment with my mother and a younger sister who is 12. Unfortunately my father had passed away during the war against Chechnya in 93. I was a young girl when we received a message about his death. We have a pat. It is cat. His name is Patriot. Is it funny? My mother works in a  drugstore. Sometimes when I feel lonely I visit her there. But to say true it is a little bit boring in that store. So she is always glad to see me. By the way I told her that I've started to communicate with a person from America. She was  very surprised and made a joke that it is already time for me... Alright. I have to return to my tasks. It is very interesting to keep in touch with you. I hope for the best in our relationship.
 Have a nice day! 
Your Natalia.

Final Money Letter

Good day, my love Brian. I will be happy to meet you here. But 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 visaregistration. 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 à 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: 
GUTA BANK
LENINA, 
47A SYKTYVKAR
167982 RU
Natalia Arsibekov
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 Natalia.


Natalia/Natasha (Yoshkar-Ola, Russia)

I am a 44 year old divorced, self employed guy from Australia. I received an email from this lady and as an Internet developer decided to check out dating scams before proceeding much further. The second letter I received from Natasha is an exact copy of a letter I found on this site although she was using the name Katya (Yoshkar-Ola, Russia) Black List - page 61
so I decided that I would enclose all letters so far as the coincidence cannot be overlooked. I will say that at all times I was skeptical at receiving a letter out of the blue from a lady from Russia but kept an open mind until investigating your site and finding the duplicate letter.

Letter 1

Hi, my name is Natasha. I live in Russia. I get your e-mail from www.iwantu.com. I want to get acquainted with the man, who will be a support in my life. I am 25 years old. I want to get acquainted with a man from 30 and older. Age is not the main thing for me. The main thing is love and mutual understanding! I hope only for my true love, and I hope very much that all with us will be good! I am anxious for your letters! 
PS: Please write me only to s_natalya@hotbox.ru

Letter 2

Hello Paul!!! 
I'm so pleased that you can understand my not so good English language, that I has learned in school and in College. I'm 171 centimeters tall, my weight is 54 kg, I have medical education, I'm a child nurse. I work in children's hospital and I look after children.  I live in the city Yoshkar-Ola. It is approximately in 850 kilometers  from the Moscow city. 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 also. And they drink alcohol  very frequently and it not so is pleasant to me. I think, that such  habit is not a gift. I want to inform, 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 am able well to play a piano, I have finished musical school, I've studied for 6 years. I Want to inform, that I live with my mum. I have the 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 pleased, 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, 
Natasha.

Letter 3

Hello Paul. 
Thanks for the letter and photo. I nave some troubles with ny Internet so I can't reply to you earlier. Sorry. It's a big pleasure to read your letter. Let me tell somwthing about me and my family. My family isn't large, my parents and me. I live with them in two-rooms apartment. My mother is the most beautiful woman for me (and for my dad, of course :-)) She so kind, careful, understanding, loving and wise person! And my dad is very interesting, intelligent man. He is philosopher inside. He read a lot and think about the world a lot...
My dream is simple enough. I want to meet that one who will love me. I want to marry, create a family and born children. I want to spend with my future husband all my life. Only I need is to be with the man who will love me, trust me, understand me. I want to share with him all my life, all my dreams and feelings. I hope I can find it in you...
Yours 
Natasha.

At this stage no money has been asked for but the duplicity of the letters is evidence enough for me. I have yet to decide what course of action if any I will take with regards to this scammer.
Regards and Beware
Paul


Natasha Komarova (Tyuman city, Russia)

I am a single, 40-year-old, American,  father of one. I was contacted by this women after I posted an add on a Russian Brides site. The contact was going on for three months and I grew to love this woman. She said that she would get a friend to help her get a visa and the papers needed to come to me. However she needed help "money" I sent this woman $1000.00 US through Western Union. After sending the woman money she did not write to me until a couple of days later and told me that the money was stolen in the subway in Moscow. I again told her if she needed anything to let me help. after a couple of days she sent me another message that her parents were going to be thrown out of there apartment and requested $380.00 more and that her mother and father asked her to ask me for the money. I then found a picture of her on the scamming sites and I attached it to the last letter that I sent to her and asked her about it and she did not reply. I did not send the $380.00. However I scammed out of $1000.00. The money was sent to Natasha Komarova at the Diplomat bank Uritskogo st. 36, Tyumen City Russia. I tried to write the agency that I posted the ad and it doesn't appear to exist. It was called At1st sight.

Natasha Lapchuk and Lubov Baranova (Chernovtsy, Ukraine)

I am a 40-year-old widower and  looking for my second chance. I have been a widower for little more than 5 years, with (2) children and owner of (2) high tech companies. Naturally I have been searching for the attractive one with common characteristics and have been really beaten up along the way. 

I was corresponding with Natasha Lapchuk through an agency (with no name) claiming to run by Lubov Baranova. I told the agency that I would discontinue correspondence because  I thought that they were scammers. Here are my reasons:

a. she appears to be very attractive and has all the qualities as well as characteristics that I am looking for.

b. I am of the opinion that She and her agency are in fact scam artists.

c. I wrote my original letter of introduction and all my questions were ignored, but the prepared letters by the person you call Natasha Napchyk were prefect and the photos which were attached presented Natasha Napchyk as the beautiful woman all men  would want.

d. with my second letter I responded and ask even more questions, all of which were never answered.

e. With my next 4 letters I said exactly the same thing: see for yourself:

Letter from me:

Hello sweet Natasha:
This is Patrick writing to you. I wish to thank you for the excellent pictures for sure you are much more attractive then originally show in the Internet. I am very please, perhaps you are to pretty for me.  Thank you for you (second) THIRD letter of introduction, it is clear to me that you did not have time to read my original letter of introduction, there was nothing in your latest letter which would tell me that you saw something that was interesting for you or answers to my very simple questions. The 15 questions was in my opinion and easy way to learn more about you quickly. Yes, you answered some of the questions for example religion in your letter of introduction but I do not have your view point on the other topics. Perhaps if you have interest and the time you would Answer my letter. Then I would do the same for you.  Looking forward to hearing from you. 
Soft kisses, Patrick

Now after 4 letters from me with the same text. 3 more letters from Natasha Lapchyk all the letters from her, never, NEVER, answered one question. I there fore do not believe she is for real and I believe that her agency are also false and prey on men looking for the love other their life.
Patrick


Olena (listok@zeos.net) (Kiev Ukraine)

I'm a single, 38 year old father raising two boys. Olena contacted me on 2/18/02 through Friendfinder.com. Her handle on Friendfinder: "kukaracha30". We exchanged about 10 emails each before she asked for $670 in order to visit me during her break from school. When I suggested that we get to know each other better first and to perhaps wait until summer she  stopped writing to me (her supposed "love").

Hi my dear Shane! Please, forgive me for not writing to you for so long. I had some problems. As i have already told you, i have my vacation, (of course, i would like to enjoy it, i hope i will when we will be together, but now, unfortunately, it is not true), my aunt felt pretty bad lately and i stayed with her all these days. I had to look after her to help her. My mom and i couldn't leave her like that. But, as my mom is busy with work all the time, i did it myself. I was missing you all this time so much. I missed your letter so much. HOney, i hope everything is fine for you. I have been thinking of you a lot lately. I am so happy to have you in my life. I have never felt myself so happy as now. Today i the morning i were to the Dean's office and found out everything about my tickets. I think that we should start planning our meeting even now for us to manage to do everything in time. Here is the info i found out today: First of all, i will use Luftganza company for my arrival. I will take the tickets on the 29th of March, and the return one on the 15th of April. I hope these dates are ok for you? Here are my flight details: The full price of two-ways tickets is 950$ US. I will buy these tickets by means of the Dean's office, with the student's discount, that is 40%. It will cost 570$.

Tell me, please, if this variant is ok for you? I hope that we will solve everything. We should start arranging everything now to manage to do everything in time. Honey, i hope there will be no need for us to delay our meeting and my coming. I even don't want to think about it now. The only thought about it breaks my heart. Of course, i understand all your problems, and that it is not easy time for you. But i know that together we will find way out of this situation. I appreciate your care and attention. Please, take care! Sorry one more time for making you worried. I will be staying at home now and i will be able to write you more often. Honey, the time we will spend together, will be the best time in my life. I know that. Please, i ask you very much to give a chance to our relations and our future. I hope that you will make a right decision, told by your heart. Now all my thoughts are only about our relations and our meeting. Tell me if you want to call me? I would like to hear your voice very much. 
I will be waiting for your letter, Honey, have a nice day!
