I would like to thank you for this site. You have saved me from becoming a victim of an attemtpted scam. Two Russian women answered my ad placed on one and only web site. I had not even considered a Russian for a date. After about 3 weeks of daily correspondence they both were sure I was the man for them and suggested to come to see me in person. They asked for money for the visa. In looking for information on visas, I came across your site. Once I read your page on scams I realized my situation had all "symptoms" and that I was about to become a victim. You have saved me a few hundred bucks. At the same time, after reading your site, I am now considering what I would never have done before - dating a real Russian woman. Thanks again.

Galina Yachmeneva/Irina Kamaeva (Syktyvar, Russia)

I am a 43 year old male from Texas. I fell scam to Galina Yachmeneva or Irina Kameava of Syktyvar. I luckily came across your web site before I lost too much money. I just had a bad feeling about the whole thing. When I offered to purchase an airline ticket for her, she insisted that I send the money and she would purchase it. That is when I became worried. I received almost the exact same letters as listed on your web site. Thank you so much for saving me a lot of money. Gaylon Dallas, Texas


Galya Sabantseva

Hi my name is Ray and I live in NSW Australia. I have been talking to this woman or "it" for 6 weeks and I am definately being scammed. She is asking for $600 US for airfare from Moscow to Sydney Australia through Western Union. I have asked 3 times within a 3 week period for her telephone number, address and where she works and this question is totally ignored. Not even a mention. I do not have any other information. I have sent her an anonymous email from a new admirer and guess what! The same first email that she or "it" sent me has been sent to the other address. Word for word. It;s a shame because the photos are beautiful and I would love to meet this person in real life. I actually sent $300 Us dollars to her through Western Union like a fool and my family told me to wake up to myself. Luckily there was a hitch with the currency transfer and I got my $300 back. Watch out guys, this one plays on emotions and is a big suck in. Gee there are some heartless and cruel aresholes out there! The email address "it" is going under is: girl_w_hopeforlove@front.ru "it's" name is Galya Sabantseva.  I have told her I will never get married again because I have done it 3 times already. This gets ignored!  I enclose photos and a couple of emails recieved and guess what ! I am still talking to "it". "It" is relentless and contacts me every 2 days (very cunning). I'm stringing it along for now to see what happens, but it is getting reported. I'm bloody angry! If you recognise these photos please feel free to contact me at: goldfingers1@bigpond.com Ray

Katya Osovskaya (Luhansk, Ukraine)

I was scammed by Katya Osovskaya, Luhansk, Ukraine. We started to communicate in summer, and after few months, in invited her to visit me in my country. I saw he profile on match.com and i wrote the first message. Her email adress is O.Kate_2002@mail.ru and the post adress (ukrainskaya street) doesn't exist. In attachment, i add 6 pictures. I received 3 pictures quickly and 3 another pictures, but slowlier. I communicated 5 months with her, it's long and after 5 months, we forget the risk. And she has never asked me DIRECTLY any money....more subtil. She has only told me: "i can't ..because.." I received in a first step exactly the same letters than other guys (i have cheked)...but after 2 months the letters become more personnalized. She was able to write me some sweet expressions in french! The trap is very perfect. A last precision....during 5 months, she wrote me every days, excepted the week-end. I sent her 500$ for the trip and after few weeks.....no news!  I can't stop to smile about that, because even if i lost some money, the trap is very clever and subtil. Great lesson. Phil


Luda Sturmak (Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine)

Address is yudina street 17/14 Dnepropetrovsk, ukraine, 49035

I am a 38 year old male from the united states. I contacted luda through americansingles.com i was writing to her for about a month. Needless to say she fell in love with me and wanted to come to america and be with me. One day she went to skyway travel in dnepropetrovsk and gave them my email address. A man named ivanov anotoliy emailed me with an itinerary for a trip to the us. I was ready to wire some money  Skyway travel company Lenin street 114/307 Dnepropetrovsk, ukraine 49370  I happened to stumble upon the russian-scam web site when i saw luda's photo under the name olga chelyabinsk. I wrote her an email asking what all this was about and i received a good bye letter.  I asked for her phone number and tried to send flowers. The flower company could not find her at the address she gave me. She did not answer any of these questions, so i consider her to be a scam. Here are some photos that i have thank you for posting it it saved me nearly $1000.00 dollars Tom

Letter: 

Good day, my dear Tom! You made me really very excited with your letter. I begin to feel that I am missing your letters and your kind words more and more and this point makes me very happy. I am Ok as well as all the members of my family. I have told to my grandmother which lives with me about you and she is like a little child, she asks me to tell her more and more about you and I am telling her, because she is really interested. She wants me to meet a very kind and good person. I am grateful her for this care. It is pleasure to know that someone worries about you so much. Tom, my parents live in Pavlograd, but I live here with my grandmother in Dniepropetrovsk. Dear Tom, I do not know what is it strombolli, is it tasty? I hope yes. It is very good that the lady gave you 20$ for your help, it is a nice reward for you. Here we help people for free. My Tom, I will talk to my parents tomorrow about my coming to you when they will come to us, I hope that they will be happy about my coming to you. Dear Tom, you ask me in every letter if I have the passport and I answer you yes every time. I am willing to accept the decision to come to you and to stay with you forever. Tom, of course if you accept to visit my parents once a year minimum, ok? I will get my diplomat in February, but before the session, in January, I do not study at all. I will be staying at home and preparing for my exams, I think that it would be the perfect time to come to you. And to return to you back forever after the exams. Tom, my dear, what do you think about it? I understand very well that my coming to you is not the vacation, it would be the very serious step in my life. Tom, I came to the question that I can live far from my family and I understand that I will have the nostalgia, but it is better to miss them. Living here I will not be able to create my own family and to bear the children. Only rich people have children here nowadays, as everything is very expensive here. My parents also want to know that I am happy and they are willing to have the grandchildren. They want to know that I am happy, here it is impossible. I think that you understand what I mean. Dear Tom, I know that you will support me and I also want to support you from my part and I am sure that we will be the happily married couple, do you agree? I also need the commitment from you. I liked the photo of Elena, thank you that you sent me it. Yes, you are right, she is similar to me. I send you the copy of my passport, because you ask me about if I have it so many times. Dear Tom, I hope that everything will be Ok with you and I will be waiting to hear back from you. Have a nice day and be in a good mood, Sincerely yours, Luda.  Best regards, Luda mailto:shturm1@pochtamt.ru

Dear Mr. Thomas Swirsky, Our courier tried to deliver your order to the address which you have specified 17/14 YUDINA STR. yesterday on December, 25. Unfortunately on YUDINA STR. there is no house number 17 and accordingly in this house of an apartment 14. The name LUDA STURMAK is not present in a telephone directory of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine too. We assume that the recipient informs you definitely not correct the address and the name. Thank You. Best Regards, Igor Novachenko Service Administrator support@ukraine-flower.com

DEAR IGOR, DID YOU GET A CHANCE TO SHIP THAT ORDER? SHE SAID 17/14 YUDINA STREET NOT 7. IF SHE IS NOT THERE PUT THEM BY THE DOOR. THANK YOU THOMAS SWIRSKY

My darling Tom! It is lovely to hear from you so many letters you sent me and thank you so many times for all your kind congratulations. I loved the words you wrote me very much, thank you so much for it. You made me feel very good when you send me it. I did not come to the Internet Club yesterday and I did not read yesterday. I like so much that you wrote. I also want we to meet so much. My Tom, I am sorry, of course, it was my mistake, because I gave you the wrong address, yes, the house number is 17, not 7. Sorry. I would be more happy if you present me the something when we meet, I do not like to get the presents through the third persons. I told you about it. Tom, I love flowers, but only when they are grown in the garden. I do not like to get as the present the flowers, because I think that the dead flowers can't give a lot of the happiness. I think that you wanted to do the present for the florist company, not for me, yes? Of course, Tom, next year we will celebrate my birthday together. My Tom, you asked me if I want to come to you, I am dreaming of it. Tom, I can not tell you that my birthday was very excited, because I was thinking of you all the time. But it was a big pleasure for me that my parents congratulated me and Natasha and my grandmother, and you of course. My Tom, I told you that my coming to you would be the best present for me and I want it so much. Tom, I prepared the tasty things and my parents and Natasha and her son Dima enjoyed them. I was very glad that I also made the pleasure for the dear people. My Tom, I will stop now, kiss you and I hope that you will write me very soon and I am looking forward to get your reply. I kiss you many times and hope that you will write me very soon. Your Luda with all my love Best regards, Luda mailto:shturm1@pochtamt.ru

Hello Tom Swirsky, Merry Christmas! Of course, the round trip for your friend will be 1200$ including visa, return ticket, insurance and medical papers. Thank you for refreshing my memory. I informed Luda that the round trip organization will take less than 21 days. The nearest time she can fly to you is the 14-th of January, because I need the time to arrange visa, it is the minimal term, not 45 days for visa. The visa will be valid for 45 days, this means that she may be with you from the 14-th of December during 45 days. It is up to you to  choose the day of return for her. If you have more questions, do not hesitate to contact us, Respectfully yours, IVANOV ANATOLIY,  The President

Hello Tom, Thank you for your attention. I will let you know the cheapest price we can do from here: Because we have to pay the additional costs, our country is not in the European community and we have the different rules. We can arrange the round trip in common, it is impossible to arrange visa separately and as you know she can not fly to you without the insurance and the medical papers. The net ticket rate is 750$ visa - 120$ to arrange it quickly it is the best price it can be the usual price as you know is 93$ annual insurance - 54$ Medical Certificate - 80$ The round trip Dniepropetrovsk-Kiev-Dniepropetrovsk 75$ Our profit is 10% it will be 107$ Total 1.186$ You can not find the best price, because it is with the best discount. You may contact any travel agency and they will inform you that they open Schengen visa from 120$. Respectfully yours,  IVANOV ANATOLIY,  The President License DKMPCTU N007485 from 14.10.99 


Natalya Zaykova (Astrakhan, Russia)

Hello my name is Joe I just was scammed by this visa/airfare scam. I've attached all the information on the emails, email addresses, pictures used as well as other names used to pick up the money which I sent Western Union. This all started from a letter I received from a personal ad I placed on the internet. Which I stated that I was only looking for a person within 50 miles of my location. In the first letter there was no mention of where she/he was from. In the second letter there was. I figured that I would enjoy having a pen pal and see how things would go. After all she seemed like a nice person and the girl in the picture was very pretty. She did capture my heart and the idea of two people on different sides of the earth meeting for the name of love was very enticing to me. So I went along with it. She wrote a total of about 24 letters in which she said she loved me in the tenth letter. Now I had visited your website to find out information about Russia and travel to there. I didn't even pay attention to the scam information until I was looking around for some other information. When I did see your blacklist I felt relieved to not see her pictures or name there. But then I went back the next night and saw the updated from last month list and there she was. Quite a bummer. I had just sent the money for the travel insurance in hopes she would be here for Christmas. Fortunately the person had some trouble with their email and was not able to receive the control number for Western Union and I was able to stop payment on it. But I have already invested about 1400 dollars to this cause. Talk about embarrassment. So that's the story. I have done all but one of the things to do in your, "What to do if you've been scammed" section. So now here's your report. I hope this person gets caught, I will do my share to help that cause now.   Here is a quick look at the addresses and names used.  zaik28@talkmatch.com  natiksm_911@fromru.com  natiksm_007@front.ru  Natalya Zaykova, RUSSIA, Astrakhan, Lenina street 76-34.

(email used zaik28@talkmatch.com)

Hello! I have seen your add and I think that you are a very interesting person.  So I decided to use the chance to get to know you. Hope I will be lucky:-) I don't think that the age and appearance is so important though I am rather pretty.  The most important what is inside you and how do you feel about the life. I  know this life from many sides and I am rather mature already to know how to  make a man happy. I don't know if you answer me or not. But why not to try? I will regret if not to try. I think we should use every chance to find our happiness. Life is too short to use it only for thinking and dreaming. I try to act but not only to dream.  So here I am:-) I will not write you much about myself now. I will just give you an idea of who I am. I work to earn for my living. I have a higher education and I am rather intelligent. The only one I miss is a beloved person and I want to have a family . I have really many interests:music, reading, books, movies, good conversations, sports and many other things which make the life wonderful. I like beautiful clothes and things.  I can't say that I have many friends. I know many people but I am very picky about  the friends. Friend is a person who will be with me all my life. And I am lucky to  have some really good friends. But I am very sociable that is why there are many  people I have good relations with. I am rather independent. And work to be able to pay for the things I want to have in my life. In some words I can tell you, that I enjoy the life as it is and I love the life with all it's aspects. I am very kind ( I am not boasting:-) ) which hurts me often. But I am strong enough to overcome the hardships on my way.  Well, now it is up to you to decide to write me or not. My email: natiksm_911@fromru.com Have a good day! I still hope for your reply.  Natalya. 

10/31/02 mentions what she earns, no phone, birthday and address

Hi, sunshine Joe! Every morning I open my eyes and think about you. And I run to the Internet cafe again with the hope to get your letter. So at last I am able to read it and to write you, my dearest. Isn't it a happiness? The only thing makes me sad is that you are so far away from me. There is a distance between us but nothing will stop me from seeing you. With each day my feelings to you become stronger. And I am so afraid to lose you. I want to share everything with you and to be near you, just to feel your warmth. I dream about it every day. You really drive me crazy, now I can think only about you. And I don't need anyone except you. I want us to be together, to make love, to enjoy the time we spend together, just to watch movies, to cook together, to listen to music, to go out, to do everything which is called - family! Well, I will better stop here, because I don't want you to think that I am weirdJ But I am really crazy about you. There is no minute when I don't think about you. I believe in the god, I the Catholic. I sometimes visit(attend) church, but it not always turns out because at me of poorly free time. I work at two works, I am exacter simultaneously I carry out work of the dancing-master and tutor at school , because in Russia very small earnings. If to combine contain earnings from both works and to transfer it in your currency - Wages per one month 60 $. My day and passes more by time at work. But I do not want, that you would think, that I pessimist, it not and not looking on all problems, I am glad life. Because in the world is a lot of good.* I to live in a small apartment. With friends I to leave seldom. I have cat. I think, that I the person of day.Unfortunately, as I already wrote, I to not have the phone.I to not have any brothers and sisters. My birthday February, 20. Still I to want to write to you my address: Natalya Zaykova, RUSSIA, Astrakhan, Lenina street 76-34. I to lead today good day with the mum. We with it very much like to prepare dishes on kitchen. We today prepared pelmeni. This dish me very much to like. I shall apply to the letter the recipe of their preparation. I to you shall prepare this dish, if we shall meet. P.S. Recipe from Russia. Pelmeni are among the most popular Russian dishes. Making pelmeni begins with the preparation of the pastry. Sift 300-400 grams of flour into a >mound, make a well in the center and add a teaspoonful of salt, one or two eggs, half a glass of warm water and knead the dough. Cover it with a tea towel and leave to stand for 30-40 minutes. Meanwhile, make the meat filling. Take 200 grams of beef and 200 grams of pork and put through the meat grinder twice, together with two brown onions. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste, chopped fresh herbs, such as green onions, thyme, dill, parsley and then some cold boiled water. The mixture should be not quite so thick as for rissoles. When the filling is ready, return to the pastry. Roll it out thinly, cut out circles and put a small ball of filling onto each. The edges have to be joined and pinched together, which is not as easy as it sounds. No one cook's pelmeni are the same: some make large ones, others small ones, some pelmeni are very intricately, and others more simply joined. Put the pelmeni in the fridge so that they become firm. To serve, cook the pelmeni in boiling salted water for about 10 minutes, until they rise to the surface. They are served with sour cream, melted butter, vinegar, pepper and mustard. I to hope and wait yours the letter. Bye! Write you tomorrow. Yours forever. Natalya.

11/09/02 References movie "Pretty Woman"

Hi my dear Joe!!! As always I am so excited to get a letter from you. * To like me fried corn. To me ??????? different films. Everything is as usual in my life and nothing special happens. I have seen the movie "Pretty woman" yesterday. I am sure you have seen it too. I like this movie and I have seen it several times already. After it I went to sleep and I was dreaming about us. I believe that you are my second half and the destiny helped us to meet. It is our chance to be happy and we can't miss it. It would be unfair. I understand that we don't know each another for long time and we haven't met but I don't care. I just know what I feel inside and my heart tells me everything. I would never believe that I can fall in love with the person I have never met in the real life. But now I have experienced it and I believe in it. Everything could happen in this life. And there is nothing strange in it. I need to tell you one thing. It is really very important for me. But I need to know that you trust me. You shouldn't have any concerns about me. I don't deserve it. I have only serious intentions about you. Just write me that you trust me and I will be not scared to tell you this. I need to tell you this, because it is very hard to feel it inside and not be able to tell you. Please, dear tell me, that you trust me and that you don't think that I am weirdJ It is not so, I am just very sensitive and sensual person. And you mean everything for me in my life. I just can't imagine my life without you anymore. I will better die than lose you. My life will be empty without you, it will have no meaning. I will think about it tonight and will write you about my feelings tomorrow. Please, be honest with me and Inform me if you trust me. Take care, honey. You are in my heart. Thousands of kisses. Yours forever. Natalya.

You are the dearest person in my life and I can't be apart from you. I know that it sounds strange for you. But even that I haven't met you in the real life, I know one thing for sure. Please, don't be scared. But I want to tell you that I love you, yes, I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you and the thought about you makes me so happy. I want to be with you so much.

I am full of desire and I want you as a man, I want to be your wife, your friend, your soul mate, your lover, your dream. I understand now perfectly that you are the man of my dream. I was searching for you all my life and now I have found you and I am not going to lose you. We will be happy together, I will do everything for it. I am strong enough to overcome all the difficulties and hardships which are between us. There is no barrier which can stop me. My love will overcome all the difficulties on our way to each another. We will be together, believe me. I will cross the ocean just to be with you. I don't need anything else - I just want to see you, to look into your eyes, to kiss your lips, to touch your strong body.

11/14/02 brings up money for visas, physical, interview and some other expenses

Hi, honey Joe! It is amazing to get your letter again!!!!!!!!!!!!! In hands I to hold a gift for you, my love!I miss you badly, honey. I love you so much. I can't be apart from you, it is so hard. You are my life, I want to hug you so much, to feel your warmth, to look into your eyes, to feel myself happy and safe near you. I am sure everything will be Ok and the destiny will work for us and we will be happy together. I often think about us and try to imagine our life together. Sometimes I feel you so near and close to me. I even feel you on the distance. I feel when you are in a high spirit and when you are sad. I am happy when you are happy. I want to be with you so much and I though about the ways for us to be together. So I tried to do something for us and decided to go to the Embassy to check what I need to come to you. So, to come to your country I need to make some paper work and to get visa. It will take some time, of course, and to pick up many documents from my side. But I will do everything which depends from me. But there is one thing which upsets me very much. You see, I need to pay for getting visa. And you know that my salary is too small for it. I don't want to complain but you know that I have a difficult financial situation here. I have a great desire to come to you, to see you at last and only money separate us from each another. I love you so much, honey and I don't want to lose you. Nobody can help me with it. Of course, I could ask my Mom to help me but she doesn't have such money though she would like to help us. I am honest and sincere with you. I hope that you understand me and that you will do it for me. I already gave some papers to them and they made a file for me. All I need now is to pay them money. So it will be, $45 for visa and $30 for registration, also I need to pay for medical exams - it will be $50, $40 for the interview, and I need to get a foreign passport, it will cost for about $40 and for some another expenses I may have. So in general I will need for about $205. If you want to help me, my love I have found out that You have to send the money by Western Union. You need to send me your full name, address, amount of money and the control number. You need my full name and address, so here it is (Natalya Zaikova; Russia, Astrakhan, street Lenin 76, apartment 34). I could find such information, love mine. I really hope that you understand my situation. I want to see you very much but without your help I can't do it just because I don't have such money. Money is nothing but they help to overcome all the difficulties on our way to each another. Sorry, dear, if it upsets you. I just think that we need to trust each another and to share everything. Hope that you agree with me. Just imagine that in short time we could be together. And there is only one problem now which can be solved with your help, dear. I love you so much, you are the best in my life and our meeting could be the happiest event for us. Miss you badly honey and waiting impatiently for your soon reply. Yours forever Natalya.

Once again I repeat, that all this money will be returned at my arrival to you and you of nothing will lose.

She wanted money and quit writing when she didn't get it,...  She went by the name  natasha123@yandex.ru  and was finding victims at match america now,....the whole reason I wrote was  I just saw her at peoplematch doing the same thing under the name star@front,.. or something similar to that,....  I just wanted to warn any potential victims of this one,... she can be very convincing  and is good at what she does,...  I will forward you a letter from her that I recieved before from her directly following this ,...

Natasha Osipova (Ekaterinburg, Russia)

I was on a singles site, MatchMaker.com, and I received an email from someone offering me an email address to correspond with. While I cannot recall her profile name on Matchmaker.com, I checked her profile and while normally I would not consider someone that was early 20's … but I almost always respond to everyone that sends me an email. So I did. Her name is Natasha Osipova and yes, I told her that I was not comfortable with our age difference, as I am 41 and she "just turned 24". She indicated she was only interesting in older men who "had more life experience". We started corresponding and the next thing I know I was talking to her on the phone. After a short period of time, I started feeling like if I did not respond to an email or call her when she could break away from work … I was letting her down. For some reason that was the last thing that I wanted to do!! Before you know it we were making plans for her to come to visit me. (we corresponded about 3 months) The agency required $320 to get her "documents" prepared and an addition $980 for travel arrangements. My story has a twist … and perhaps tells you how stupid one can truly be when they think they have found someone they truly care for … I am not employed!! Yep, I am one of those that got laid off bad when the 9/11 happened and I am still not working. Yeah … really stupid, I know!! But for some reason, I felt compelled to send for her to be with her for Christmas. My story pretty much plays out the same as everyone else's. I sent the initial payment for the documents and then followed with the remaining payment for the travel arrangements via Western Union. She, and the agency sent me the flight information and we were all set. The only problem according to the agency is that she was going to have to stay overnight in Moscow, but of course Natasha didn't mind … "it was a small wait compared to the time we would be together". The day of the flight I get an "urgent email" (from Imperial Café) saying that the mean immigration people need her to show $1000 dollars for her to be able to leave the country. It seemed strange to me, but I dipped into the credit again and rushed her the money via western union. Once she got the money, I got another email that said that she got there too late and the airport gave her flight (seat) to someone else, but she could catch another one the next day for an additional $140. I told her that this was not something that I could afford, but I go off and get the money she needs. Then I started making phone calls to assure that she does not have problems once she reaches the US with connecting flights. I find out that United does not have her booked on the flight number that she gave me. I called and spoke to the "International Sales" at United and started asking them questions about immigration and the various fees that the might charge … click … I started to wonder. But everything seemed to be legit and I continued to trust this person that I have become so close to. But those doubts were there … monitored the money at Western Union to see when it was picked up. I noticed it was picked up much later than the flight was to be scheduled … it was then I realized that I was had. I am a cynical person to begin with and I must admit that I did have a suspicion before … but they went through an agency and it all seemed official, right? Perhaps the agency is not aware of this, who really knows … but it is something that after finding your site … I am not aware of. Anyway, this morning … which happens to be Christmas Eve, I got up to "THE EMAIL". She condemns herself for being so stupid for having taken the bus to the airport and not the taxi. While she was on the bus, her bag was "cut" and all the money is gone. She feels so stupid, and of course she can only hope that I can forgive her as she heads back home to spend Christmas with her family. She will try and get a loan and return the money to me before her Christmas … which is January 7. I think about this and the damage that was done though … it is not the loss of money that is the most damaging … it is the loss of faith and trust that I now have. That cannot be returned. 

I have since sent the agency an email alerting them to what Natasha has done and if they are a legit agency then they might want to be aware of it. I will provide her name, address, photo that she has sent me … so that you can be aware of them. The agency is: ****Russian Girls Marriage Agency**** "Nadezhda" Our WWW page is : WWW.RG.TELENET.RU All possible questions and feedback please direct to: Info@Rg.telenet.ru  Natasha's information is: Natasha Osipova, Pehotintsev street 7-1 , Ekaterinburg Russia. 620141 I will also include a few of the photos that she has sent, as she is not in any of the photos that I have seen on your site. I wish I had seen your site before I did this … it would have save me quite a bit of money and heartache!! David
