Search the web and I found this site. The letter in which she requested money was nearly identical to other letters. I found on your website under the names Natalia Jurevna Smirnova (Novorossiyk, Russia) and Nadezdha Bobrova1 and it included a scan of her visa.

Natalya (Murmansk Russia)

Search the web and I found this site. The letter in which she requested money was nearly identical to other letters. I found on your website under the names Natalia Jurevna Smirnova (Novorossiyk, Russia) and Nadezdha Bobrova1 and it included a scan of her visa. I am a 47 year old single guy living in the Midwest USA. In 2004 I also placed a free personal ad on Yahoo! I also was not looking for a Russian woman when one day out of the blue I thought I checked if I had any responses and August 27th 2004 there was an email from this woman. My experiences were just like Kevin's! She never answered my questions either. Also, there was never a subject line in any of the messages. Each letter would tell to how happy I have made her and she was in a hurry for us to meet. Said it was Destiny. She asked me for $550 to cover her passport, visa, and trip to Moscow and hotel expenses. When I told her it would be better for me to visit her, I have not heard anything since. Jim.

Hello Jim, Thank you very much for your letter. It was very pleasant to get it for me. I was not sure that you would continue the correspondence with me. I was afraid that you could lose the interest to me. Fortunately it didn't happen so and I am very glad of this fact. I have never corresponded by the Internet. That is why everything what is connected with our correspondence is new, very interesting and surprising for me. And sometimes I don't know what to do, what to write, more precisely, what I can write you. I don't know as far as I can be open to you, sincere. I thought about it and decided to be sincere with you on 100 and tell you only the truth. I heard about the acquaintances with help of the Internet a lot, but I didn't think that I would do it. I came to such decision, because I lost any hope to find man of my dreams in my country. All Russian men with whom I had the acquaintance made me unhappy, almost all of them were the scoundrels or alcoholics or we just didn't find the common language with each other. May be I hadn't luck or I knew too little of men (my living experience in this question is not enough) and may be there are no normal men in Russia or at least in the place where I live. In Russia almost all of men drink and are false to their wives, certainly there are good men but they don't want to create the family, they are not ready for the serious relations. I am sure that I will not find the man who I will be able to love in Russia. I don't want spend all my life like a lot of Russian women: they became accustomed that their husbands behave regarding to them disrespectfully. I don't want to stand such attitude; I don't want to see calmly how my husband drinks or how he betrays me. I just want to be happy, to be loved and to love... And that is why I decided to try to find my happiness abroad. I have no my personal computer and nobody of my friends don't have it and this fact became the barrier in for the realization of my dream. But my best friend Svetlana suggested me to use the Internet cafe for this purpose. Certainly it is expensive for me but it gives me the possibility to communicate with you. I have no the computer and I was not able to use the computer. When I came to Internet cafe the manager of it helped me and explained what I should do, showed me some men and I chose you. I liked you very much. I think it is Destiny. And I hope that our acquaintance will have very happy future. Please write me what do you think about everything I have written you in this letter. I will wait... I hope that I will know your opinion very and very soon. Bye-bye!!!!!!!!!!!! Natalya.

Hello dear Jim. Oh, how I want to share my feelings and impressions with you. I so want to say you that I met you and you really brightened my life. I am so happy that you came into my life, and I can only pray and thank the God, that he connected us. I have never believed in destiny too much, but it seems to me that I have to start to believe more! My belief is christianity. I want to tell you about my usual day: I wake up at 6:00 at the morning, take the bath and prepare the breakfast for my mother. I like to cook and a lot of people say that I do it perfectly. I'd like you eat the cake, cooked under my special recipe. Everybody who has eaten it says that it has the delightful taste. My mother cooks very well too. But I don't allow her to do it; I take care of my dear mother. She is not young and I do everything I am able to do to exempt her from work. We have the breakfast. Then I take on, do make up and say well by to my mother. After that I go to work, it's about 7:30am (when I have no the rest). I like to start work early and I have the dinner on my work, more often I have no time to eat, because I have a lot of different deals, often I am very busy at my work and there is no the time to have any minute of rest. I spend a lot of time staying on my feet. I must be very energetic. I lose many physical and psychological forces. I am so tired after work. But I don't regret that I have become a teacher. I like my work very much. This work gives me the pleasure of communicating with the cleanest, kindest and gentlest beings - with children. I must be the example in everything for them. I must be perfect for them. I spend with children a lot of time and I can say that I replace the mother for them. I am the second mother for them and that is why I must attitude to my work with the raised responsibility. There is their life, their future, their education in my hands. It depends on and their parents what people will grow up from these children. I teach them not only the different sciences, subjects, I teach them how to live, how they must behave in society, how they must attitude to each other. I finish my work at 5.00-6.00pm. I have said you already that I am so tired after work. But more often despite of weariness I prepare the supper, do some work about the house. And then the time of going to bed comes. There is nothing interesting in my life. I have described you my usual gray day. All days are like each other. But in the summer I'm have a rest and my life doesn't go under the same script, it is full of positive impressions and good sunny mood. And I want to tell you that this summer is not like others. This summer has brought me not only the warmth of tender sun but also it has given me the warmth of human's relations, the warmth, which can be replaced with nothing. You have given me these feelings, you opened new world for me. When I communicating with you I forget about all my problems and troubles. You save me from the loneliness, which filled up my heart. I am 32 years old and I still didn't find the man whom I could love, with whom I could spend all my life, to whom I could give my heart and who could be worthy me. Sometimes I am afraid, that I will always alone. Loneliness is very awful thing. And you help me; you don't let me to long and to think about that. I'd like to thank you very much for it. You raise hopes in breast for the happy future. I believe that we can be very very happy together. I am sorry, I need to run away. Please forgive me for it. I want to ask you to write me as soon as possible, because I will miss you very much. I kiss and embrace you. Good-bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S My mother asked to say you hello!

Oksana (Russia) oksana@brunetka.ru

I was contacted on 8/22/04 by "oksana" thru YAHOO personals giving me the address above. Now I have gone thru the Russian scam once before and didn't fall for it. I had seen oksana's picture at a website dedicated to Russian brides so I assumed that this was real. So in my first message I stated that I was willing to correspond with "her" but that I would not accept any love letters too quickly. And of course the letters written were never about what I asked and when I finally got a reply to some very serious inquires all they did was to copy and paste the very letter I sent back to me. Well they did write at the top "you wrote" this didn't only raise my suspicion more than before but it ticked me off. Then I found ELENA'S web sight and read her book on scamming and knew then that it was in deed a scam. Being very mischievous I sent a letter stating strong intentions for her {ok I should say baiting instead of stating} And there it came the request to help she could afford the visa {it was no problem to get} but she would need help with the ticket because she would have to get them at the same time. My reply was to copy and paste the section of ELENA' s book that talked about women in Russia getting visa. Today I finally got a reply that told me that at least they do read some of their mail :} And I replied back that her mail and picture were on the way to the F.B.I. I have also have had several other letters sent from supposedly women in Russia thru other personals and I am pretty sure they are scams to since my reply is thanks but no thanks and then receive a letter stating how nice it was to here from me. these addresses are tomselena@mail.ru ,butenina@pochta.ws, anastasiya@stopor.com, and ms100@mailgate.ru So beware gentle men and if you are unsure read Elena's book on scams it will save you money.


Alexandra Kutina (Sudislavl, Russia)

I am 45 years old and American and I first was contacted through Match.com on 7/26/04 from Vilochkka who asked if I was interested in corresponding to her at her e-mail ryzhik@yahoo.com and gave her name as Ginger. I then proceeded to get involved over the next 2 months exchanging letters more intimately until I eventually did give her $ 300 visa money but was able to find this scam site before sending her the plane fare money of $ 450 which I had already wired to an e-gold account that she had set up. She wrote me word for word the same letters that she had sent other people and I finally realized that she was using me. I told her that I was not sending any money and I knew that it was a set-up. I stopped getting e-mails immediately. I think it may even be a man because I traced the phone call that I suppossedly got from a Ontario phone number registered to a man. When I called the number, a man answered and said there was no Alexandra at the address. Please see attached letters, photos and a scanned visa.

I am glad to see your email. I am sorry I couldn't reply to your message earlier. I was a little sceptical about dating services in Internet and I havn't checked my email box. I havn't thought anyone may really reply to my profile. Now you wrote and I am very pleased to meet you. Thank you for your interest. Hope we will begin good contact and who knows what may happen. I guess at first I must tell about myself. I was born June 12, 1974. So now I am 30. My height is 165 cm (5'5"), weigt - 56 kg (123 lb). I will attach a picture of me, so you can see my appearance. I also made a online photo album. There are some pictures of me: http://photos.yahoo.com/ryzhik74 I live in Russia. And I have never been to the US. But I hope I will visit this country one day. I live in Sudislavl, small russian town, deep provincial. It is 50 km from Kostroma. The population is about 5000. I don't smoke and drink rarely. Prefer red wine or a bottle of good beer. I work as a doctor in local clinic. I am a therapeutist. Most people think it is boring, but I like it and find it very interesting. I like to help people to be healthy and teach them how to save their health. I have a university degree from therapeutical faculty. I keep active life, interesting in sports and outdoors. Also I am interesting in history, geographics and social sciences. I have a lot of hobbies, like reading and listening to music. Cookery is one of my favourite things. Also like animals and children. As for my character, I don't like to tell about it. I try to be good person. Enough emotional and sensible. My best qualities: loyalty, honesty, sense of humour, natural curiosity and simplicity. I know that I can't be objective telling about myself. At least I want people think about me this way. :-) What about religion, I am a Christian but not too religious. I think more spiritual. Marital status: single, never been married. Have had some strong relationships in my life but currently is free. No children. I want simple things. To be happy, to have someone to share my life with, to have family, to love and be loved. I am not sure Internet can help with it, but I like to try new things. Internet is good medium for intercommunication. And it is silly not to use that. I want to meet kind man with good soul and great sense of humor. I would like he could be my friend, life partner and lover. I want to feel his need in me, his support and understanding. I don't need any prince. He just should be kind, sympathetic, decent and honest man. I know that great distance may become the problem. So I want to start from friendship. I like to make friends and if things will not work between us we would stay in touch as good friends. Well, I think it is enough for now. I am sorry if something is wrong. This is my first experience in Internet dating. I am also sorry for my mess with my profiles at match.com. They didn't work properly. Now I don't have any profile. So if you have any questions ask me. Tell me about yourself and what you think. Yours truly.Ginger.

(date 7/31/04)
I am very pleased you interest in me. Bruce I want us to keep our correspondence and to know each other better. Write me about your life, send pictures. I promise to do the same. By the way Bruce I want to ask you to help me with my English. I have been studying English for some years at University at first then by myself. I like to read books in English. And I still think I am not good enough to speak and to communicate easily. So if you will see any mistakes in my letters please let me know about them. I want to improve my language skills. You know our meeting was a chance. I have already been surfing Internet for some weeks. The first time I used Internet was for my work. I read about new methods in therapeutics. Then I started to surf Internet for two or three times a week. And now it is one of my favourite things to do. Recently I have interested in dating service and decided to try it. I choose several profiles and you replied. :-) Others havn't wrote me. I am glad we've met. Bruce I use Internet from my work. We have two computers in library for personnel use. I am here two or three times a week so don't worry if I can't reply fast. I will write you each time I am here. I work 5 day a week, so I am afraid I can't write on weekends. Today I get some extra work so I am writing. Bruce I still can't imagine you are in the USA. Sounds silly? :-) I have never been to the States. I know your country just from the movies and TV. I would like to learn more about it and your people. I think we could give each other more full pictures about our countries by corresponding. I also hope to visit the USA some day. I like to travel very much. It is great to see the world all over. I haven't travel much. I was in several russian cities and once in Turkey. I have a picture from there. My favourite city is St.Petersburg. Very beautiful place. Well, I am a little confused and I don't know what to say. I hope all this stuff is not too boring to read. :-) Bruce I have already told you that I want to find someone through Internet. I just wanted to say that it is my serious intention. I am interested in you and I want us to be good friends. Write me back. Waiting for your letter. Ginger

(dated 8-2-04)
I thank you for your letter and your interest in me. Bruce, it is interesting to read about you and your life. I want to know more about you. Please, tell me about your family, friends and people that you know. What is your usual day? I will also tell you what you want to know about me. I have good time to correspond with you. I enjoy it. I can say it is becoming one of my favourite things. I don't remember if I told you about my hobbies or things I like to do for fun. It seems to me that people who wants to have some relationship must have the same ideas and goals in life and also the same ways for rest and fun. I like different activities like sport, walking, going-out and outdoors. I can't say that I am engaged in sport. I just like it. I like bicycle-riding, swiming and beach especially. Also I like to dance. I dance classic and modern dances. I am an amateur not a professional. I think the real woman should be beautiful both soul and body. My mother teached me to play piano. I also can sing. I will try to learn some english songs. Hope you can hear them someday. Smile. I enjoy cooking. I prefer italian and russian food. My favourite dishes are different soups and salads. I cook great Ukrainian borsch. It is a soup made of beet, meat, cabbage and carrot. Very tasty. Smile. As I said I like reading. I read different books, but prefer books about history and countries. I read a lot of Russia and America. These countries are great. As for fun, I like the same thing like all people. Movie, walking, theatre. I like to drink tea with friends in cafe. We talked about everything and nothing. Smile. I don't have a lot of friends, but all they are good people. To be honest I don't like 'empty' people. My friends are almost my friends from childhood and youth. They are already almost married. Don't think that I am close person. I like to meet new people and make friends. I am easy-going and I easily strike up new acquaintance. From another side I am not easy approachable woman. I am serious. I think it is from my upbringing. Bruce, I don't remember if I told you about my family. I live alone. My mom died about two years ago. And I have never seen my father. I don't have any brothers or sisters. The most close person now is my uncle, my mother's brother. He lives with his family, but I am not close to them. His wife thinks my uncle is my lover. Actually we just friends. I think he is like father for me. Silly woman, she can't understand the friendship between man and woman. I am not angry at her. I am just sorry she is so narrow-minded. My mother was a doctor too, a surgeon. She was a member of charitable organization and she came to Abhazia when there was a war. Mother always wanted to help people. She was the kindest person I knew. She was killed there. The truck detonated at the mine when they transported wounded people to hospital. Everyone was killed. I wanted to come with her to Abhazia, but she didn't allow me. Now I know why. She was just about 51. I attached your picture if you would like to see her. It was the last picture she sent me from Abhazia. From my birth my mother wanted me to become a teacher. But I didn't. I had enough strict upbringing. I had been not allowed to date with boys until I got 20 years old. My mother was old-fashion person. Probably it is not bad. I loved my mother and respect her. She could give me good upbringing. We didn't have any conflicts. I always try to understand her. She loved me too and just wanted me to be happy. It was the most hard time in my life whe he died. I thank my uncle, he was with me and supported me. I talked with my uncle about you. Are you surprised? We often had confiding talking. He understands me in full. I said him that I meet a man on dating service in Internet. And that this man is from another country. Uncle said that it is great. I asked him what he thinks if I would like to visit this country and maybe to move there. He said that it is OK, if I feel I want it. I am glad with this. Well, hope it is not too boring to read. Smile. You see sometimes man must sit and think about his life and about what he is and what he wants. It seems to me that I have this time now. What I want? Simple things. Happiness, family, careful husband. I put spiritual life to the first, not material things. I am not looking for better life or getting rich. I am looking for full life. Why I can't find husband here in Russia? I can, but I don't want. I see how my mother lived, I see how other people live in Russia. Yes, here is bad economics and I don't want to live here. I love my Motherland but I don't like the State. I want to have comfortable life and don't always be in searching good job and better salary. I want to dedicate my life to my husband and my family. I don't want to say that I am lazy. I like to work, but I don't want to dedicate my life to my work. I hope you understand what I am talking about. I see that many russian women try to go out from Russia looking for better life. They marry foreigners to get citizenship of another state. Then they divorce. I don't like them. I believe in marriage for life. I want to marry for love. Bruce, I want you to understand me in full, until we will make some any steps. Tell me what you think about this all and what else you would like to know. Bruce I would like to say you my real name. It is Alexandra Kutina. I used Ginger like a nickname, it is because of my red hair. My friends call me this way. In Russian Ginger is Ryzhik. You may call me anyway you lke. Well, this letter seems to be long, so I will close. Until next time. Yours Ginger.

(dated 8/23/04)
How are you? Hope you are OK. I am all right. I missed you very much these days when I was unable to read your letters. Smile. I don't know how it may happen so fast but I feel that we have been friends for years. What happened with you these days? Here things are the same. You know sometimes it seems to me that life stopped here. And you live the same day everyday and it scares me. I may live all my life and I can't notice that life is going away. Bruce you make my days another. Full of life and joy. Thank you for your writing. It really brights my days. Don't think that is just words. I always mean what I say... Or at least I try to. Smile. Bruce I can't still believe you are so far from me. Yes, I understand it but can't imagine it. Yes, computer and Internet are like a window to the world. It is fantastic. You know our acquaintance made me to think a little differently about people living in the world. Good change. Of course I knew about other countries and people but before it was like an idea, that I saw on TV, read in books and newspapers. But now I can feel it. Understand me please, I have just touched to different culture, life and people through you. And I saw it is real. Bruce I am a person that doesn't believe until he touchs. Smile. I realize you are the same person as I am. We speak different languages, live in the different countries but we want the same things in our lifes. I feel that I am a part of something very huge and important. Thank you for giving me this feeling. I want to travel all over the world, to meet new people and to get new experience. I really think it is great fun and useful. What do you think? I actually may look naive but this is what I think. Smile. Yesterday I met my friends. We usually meet at someone's home or go to our favourite cafe. This is pretty nice place. It is small and very cosy. They don't sell alcohol there so it is not very popular. It seems strange? I am not sure you know but usually russians drink a lot. So it is always loudly where alcohol is on sale. My friends don't like to drink too as I do. They are almost my friends from university or childhood, and a girl from my work. We talk, drink tea, joke, have fun. Very nice people. I live them all. It's a pitty we can't meet often but a time or too in month. They almost are married and have family and children so they are constantly busy. Well the matter is that I told them about you. They were really happy for me. They already asked when I come to you. Smile.I explained we are just friends but they still bantered me all evening. They say hello to you. Well I must already go. They solved Internet problems and I hope I can write you every two days. I will write you soon again. Your picture is fine. I like it. Ginger p.s. Bruce I really glad we "met". Smile. Keep more writing.

(dated 8/25/04)
I couldn't wait when I can come here to read your letter. It really brights my day. Smile. I am really happy to get your reply. And I like we both enjoy our correspondence. Your letters mean a lot for me. Bruce, yesterday evening I told with my uncle about you. He is exciting about our friendly relationship. I read him some parts from your letters. Not all, just some sentenses. Hope you don't mind I share that with my uncle. He is the only close person to me and I trust him. He thinks you are worthy man. But he said I must be cautious. I can understand his feelings. But for me you are honest man and I don't think you can ever deceive me. I know I may be mistaken with my thoughts about you. Only time will say the truth. Smile. To be honest we talked about my possibility to move to you. Smile. Don't worry, it is just an idea. I understand that it is too early to think about it. But who knows. Maybe at first we would meet in person. Anyway my uncle said that he will support me in my choice and don't mind if I move. Bruce, I don't know what is going on with me. I found myself thinking of you very often. It seems to me that you are more than just a friend to me. I hope I didn't scare you off with my thoughts. Smile. I wonder what you think about me as your possible life partner? Do you think that we could have common future? I understand if it is too straight question. But I would like to know your opinion. I am honest with you and I want you to be honest with me too. We must trust each other. It's very important in relationship. As for me I can see you as my possible partner for life. I know we have great distance between us. But with our letters I feel you close. I believe you are the man with nice soul. I think personal contact is more better than letters via e-mail. But now it is enough to know each other better and see if we realy can have something common in future. Who knows probably we will meet one day and get married. Smile. Well, I continue to tell about me and my life here. My usual day is not too intersting. I get up at 6 o'clock and at 8 I must be at my work. It takes me about 20 minutes to get there. I come here on foot. I like to go to work on foot because it is very invigorative. Morning, fresh air. Then I am at work until 5. About 6 o'clock I return home. Make some domestic things like cleaning and washing. Three times a week I go to gym, make some aerobics and dances. Sometimes I go to library, cinema, to my friends. When I don't want to go anywhere I stay at home to read a book or play piano, I like to learn a new music composition. In the evenings I watch some film or show on TV and go to bed. Today I got my salary at work. That small pleasant event always makes people to love their work if only for a day. Smile. I don't earn large sum of money. It is 2700 rubles (about $90 USD) for a month. But I am enough satisfied with it. I wish I got more money, but I don't want to become crazy about it. I saw many people who wanted to get much money. Some of them gained it. But they almost changed their personality. They can't talk about anything, only money. Yes, it is difficult to make good money in Russia. But money is not my life goal. For my salary I can buy something of clothes and it is enough to buy food. For russian standard I have less average earnings. I have a TV set and tape-recorder at home. I don't have a car, but I can drive it. I have my bicycle and I enjoy to ride it. Smile. Not sure how interesting it is to read about these things but it can show you my life here. Bruce, how much do you earn? I am just interesting. You don't need to answer if you don't want. I know that we have different life levels. But it is interesting what are expenses for living at you. I pay about $30 USD for my flat and electricity. In winter I pay additional 10 for central heating. I am lucky I live in my mother's flat. This flat was given to my mother by the hospital where she worked. Actually it is not my accomodation. I can just live here. I have only one room and a kitchen. I don't want to complain of something. It is usual things here. I want to show you life here. Bruce, tell me about your the same things. I am interesting what is your life there. I thought about my life and recent events. You know from my last relationship with man I understood that the connection between man and woman is very delicate. It needs efforts from both sides to be supported and developed. You can't just date, make love and say words. It is more deeper. I have never told you about my personal life. I think I must. My last boyfriend was a photographer. Some my pictures were made by him. He was more than just a photographer, he was an artist, a creator. Our parting was not a tragedy. In the certain time we both understand we are not together and decided to break it. I don't miss him. It was the best we could do for each other. He moved to Moscow to find better life and I stayed here. Bruce I don't know why I tell it to you. Now I want to create full relationship and I know how to do it. I will try to give all my soul to my man and I need his one for me. Well don't get it too close. It is just my thoughts and I don't claim anything. Smile. Bruce I want to give you my postal address. It is 11 Svoboda street, Sudislavl, Kostromskaya oblast, Russia. I want you know it just in case I can't write you an email. Please, don't send any presents to me. I would feel very uncomfortable to accept it if I would get them. Our postal system is very unreliable and I don't want you waste your money. They can steal a package. I just want to have an alternative way to connect you. Bruce also give me your postal address, in case if I don't email you, I may send you some card to let you know I am OK. Bruce I know about our age difference. Don't worry, it doesn't bother me. I like older men. It seems to me they more appreciate relationship and know how to treat woman. Well, I must cut my letter here. Write me more. All what you think and dream. I need it. Looking forward to geting your letter. Take care of you Bruce. Alexandra (I send you my old photo. It's me two years ago at my home. I am sorry I don't have many photos on computer, I just have some at my floppy disk.) p.s. Bruce I want to try to call you sometimes. Please let me know where and when I can reach you. I don't have telephone at home and I don't have a place where I can accept your call. I will try to call from a paid telephone. I don't promise I'll call you. I even don't know if they do international calls but I will try.

How are you? I am fine. I am sorry that I couldn't write you earlier. Another doctor have been sick and I had to work for her. Don't think I forgot about you. Smile. No, I think of you often. I am very intersting to know you more and I like that we can talk via email. Is it OK for you that I can't write you everyday or regularly? I will try to write as often as I can. Bruce I tryed to call you some times and I could do it. I am sorry you were out. I probably missed time. I left a message on your answering machine. At least you may hear my voice. Hope you will like it. When I called I was very exciting and it was bad connection. I am sorry if it was difficult to understand me. You see I didn't talk English to anyone before. Anyway I am happy I could called you. To be honest I am a little nervous. Bruce you may ask why I feel a little nervous. I am a little scared about having new serious relationship, particularly, a relationship with you, because I want a relationship with you to work out. I want it to happen, to mature, and excel. Another reason I am nervous is because a serious relationship is a big step. A big step for both of us. And, lastly, I am nervous of the possibility that you will say something like "Ginger you are a great friend, and I think we should keep things that way". I think I want more. It is based on what you have written me, what you have told me of you, and what you have told me of your thoughts, life and so on. I think that I really want to develop our relationship. I know it may be premature for me to think this way. But I do because I feel this way. Last days I thought about you a lot and I thought about us. I thought may it be possible for us to meet each other one day. I thought how
real is Internet. How we can learn each other throught it. Really it seems to me that there is no difference what way we communicate. The important thing is that we can learn each other and to have image of our character in our minds. And it is great. Bruce I don't know what you think about me. Tell me your thoughts. Well, I must go now. I will write again soon. Thank you for your photo-message. IT is very pleasant. Yours Ginger.

(dated 9/03/04)
I am realy happy we are in touch. Thank you for your letters. They make my days. I think of you constantly. You are very close to me. I don't know how it could happen so fast. It is amazing. I feel you very close, but I can't see you. You see we both are sincere with each other. I think it is the way people must comunicate with each other. I think that we mustn't hide our feelings and thoughts. I do it. I am ready to give myself to the destiny. I believe in fortune. I think I am lucky to find you. Bruce I miss you in the evenings. Sometimes at nights I dream of you. I see you smiling and whispering my name. You know I wish you were here next to me or I were near you. I want to touch your hand, to see in your eyes and whisper your name... Sweet dream. I believe we are compartible and we could be a great couple. I have thought a lot about us and came to conclusion. Bruce we must meet in person. I want to touch your hand and see into your eyes. Really. I thought is it really so hard for us to meet? We live on the same planet, just in different places. Bruce I want to visit you. Would you like to meet me in person? Would you like to see me in real? I want it. I think if we both want it we can do it. Is it a crazy idea? We met in virtual space. We found out that we have common thoughts and ideas for living. We both need someone in our lifes. We like each other. So we must meet. We must meet to see if we are persons who we see in our letters and our thoughts. We should meet to learn each other more, to talk, to feel each other. We should check up our expectation in real life. I don't see the sense to continue our corresponds and to make image of our relationship in our minds. I think we must meet and see if the things will work out between us, see if we will fall in love with each other. Without meeting in person we can't create full understanding of person. I want to meet you and to develop our relationship. I know we met in Internet but we met each other. It means a lot. Bruce I would like to visit you this autumn. I will have vacation for September and October and I think it would be good time to meet. Tell me what you think about it? Bruce, I really feel nervous right now. I don't want to stay friends. You see it is not enough for me. I want more. You may think I am crazy, we never met. I understand. But can't do anything with it. I feel this way and I am ready to continue our relationship in more close manner. I told with my uncle about this. He is very exciting for me. But he doesn't mind. He said "it is your life Alexandra and you are worth to have your happiness". He also said that he has good friend in Moscow who works as a laywer in emigration field. Now he is in Kostorma, he lives there. And I want to go to Kostroma with my uncle to talk to the lawyer. It is 50 km from me. Uncle said he will help me with all paperworks. I will learn about what papers I need to make and then I will tell you. I don't know how long it will take me and how hard it will be. Bruce I want also to enlist your support. Can you help me if I need something from you? I don't know what exactly, maybe some information about you or something else. Do you think it is possible for us to meet? I think yes. I believe in fortune and I think it smiled on us. If we could meet each other in Internet we can meet in real. I am sure we will have happy future together. Bruce I am so excited thinking of it. Yes, I surely want to embrace you and I will do everything that depends from me to make us met. Please, write sooner what you think. I am sorry if this letter is a little chaotic. I am just very exciting. With love. Yours Ginger. p.s. I want to visit, but who know maybe I will stay with you. Smile.

(dated 9/07/04)
I want to tell you very serious thing. Bruce I have done some research for coming to you. And I have good results. I talked to my uncle's friend about it. He works as a lawyer in immigration agency in Moscow. His company helps people to solve all questions about travels, organized tours and immigration. They also make all paperworks and passport required for travelers. I got his professional advice about my wish to come to you. He said that I would need visa and passport to come to you. His company can make all these papers in 10 days. This company is connected with American Embassy. That's why they work so quickly. I asked what I would need to do and he told me about all stages in this process. At first I need to apply for visa in this company. They will make an inquiry into embassy in Moscow. Usually it takes about two days. After they will receive authorization for my visa I will need to contract for their service. Then they will start their work. I will get visa, all papers and passport in 10 days. Then I can get ticket for a plane and fly to you. Their service costs $350 USD. I know this is a lot, but it is fast and reliable. The lawyer said I can try to get visa by myself but it will take more time, about 6-12 months. I will need to come to embassy and apply for visa. The pay is about $150 USD. Then I will need to come there some times to sign different papers and wait. You see it could take more time, money and nerve finally. What do you think of this occasion? I think it is great chance for us to meet. There is the reason we must hurry with it. This company have a licence to issue visas. But the government of the USA decided to limit number of visas since this year. This ompany will not issue visas any longer since October 1, 2004. The only way to get visa will be the embassy and it is very hard, almost impossible for lonely young woman. So I will not be able to get visa that way. Also the lawyer said that they have limited number of visas they can issue for this year. This is the rule of US Embassy. Now they have few visas they can give. He said if I want to get visa I must do it as soon as possible. You see we must hurry if we want to meet in person. I must say that I have already applied for visa. Don't you mind? Bruce, I love you and I need to meet you in person. We must do it as soon as possible. You know I haven't $350 USD. It makes me so sad. What can I do? I hate I have no this money. And I feel very uncomfortable to ask you for money. If I could pay for it I would do it without any doubts. I can get about $50 USD for visa but I need another 300. Bruce I know we will be happy together. Please, help me with visa money, help us to meet. As for visa's period of validity it works for 3 months. I can prolong it if I will need. And I also can marry you if we will decide to do it. Bruce, please, think of it. It is our chance, we can't miss it. I must pay for visa next week. You see they take payment in advance usually. But the lawyer made an exception for me, because he is my uncle's friend. And I promised to pay in these days. I can't let him down. Trust me Bruce. It is the best way we can meet. If you really want to meet me and help, please send money these days. The lawyer advised to use western union. We have several western union agents in Kostroma. So I will be able to receive your money without any problems. They are very fast and reliable. You will need to put in order my name and location. Just in case here is my name again: Alexandra Kutina. And you must put Kostroma in location. I will also need your data to receive transfer: - money transfer control number (MTCN), you will get it in the receipt. - sender's name and address (as it appears in transfer order) - control question and answer (if you will use it) Write me this information in your email after you send money. You may send money from any western union agent or online from: http://www.westernunion.com/ There is another way to send money. Send money to my e-gold account. It is better than western union, because western union takes large fee for transfering money. E-gold takes just a little sum. See their web site at: http://www.e-gold.com/ Bruce I am also a little afraid to receive your western union transfer because I work for the State institution. And I will have to report your transfer in tax return. You see I must pay $50 of you transfer as a tax. We have such law here. If I will not pay this I may have problems with tax police. So better send money through e-gold. It would be easier for me to get and cheaper for you to send. This is the link where you can see how to send money to my account: https://www.cashchange.com/index.cfm?fuseaction
=dsp_fundingoptiondetails&fundingoptionid=3 My e-gold account number is: 1585945 and my user name is: ginger. I think it is all information you will need. Bruce I understand that it is maybe too fast and rush, but we need it. We can meet and we must use this chance. I know it is much money but I don't have this money. I think I could save this sum in an year but we can't wait so long. Bruce you see it will be the first step to our future. I must get my visa first. I understand that it may take some months to save money for ticket. I will try to find them here, at least part of them. But I can't find money for visa in such short time. Help me. I do it, because I love you and I trust you. I believe in our future, I believe in you. I love you. Yours Alexandra. p.s. I am sorry if I seem too pressing in this letter, I've just wanted to let you know how important it is for us to meet.

(dated 9/09/04)
Bruce I am very happy to get your reply. It impressed me. It moved me to tears. Bruce thank you for your being. You see I have the reason to live now. I want to live long life with you and to be happy together. I am sure that I want it. And it must come true. Bruce I have never felt thus. I feel like I was asleep. I have waked just now. I see the world with another look. I see all colours of life. I love you. I live only for your letters. What about my dreams they have changed. I think about you often and wonder how pleasant it will be to spend a lot of time with you holding hands and walking in a park or dining out in a nice restaurant. I knew you are the right person and you justified my hopes. Thank you that you could understand my feelings. I appreciate your faith in me. I knew you will support and help me. Believe me I will never hurt you because I love you. Don't worry about the time. We will do everything in time. Just send money as soon as you can and be patient. You see we can't let the laywer down. He has made a lot for me to help. Bruce I am very worried about you being without me. I am afraid that I can lose you. If something happen with you and you can't tell me I probably will go crazy. Be careful, please, and save yourself for me. I will bless God for you. I love you Bruce. I wish I was be able to embrace you now. But I can just think of you and read your letters. Write me more, please. I will write you more later. Bye my love. I am thinking of you. Yours Ginger.

(dated 9/17/04 after receiving the visa money)
I am so happy to receive a letter from you. I miss you whole days. I am very excited to see an e-mail from you! Bruce, I am dreaming of you constantly. I dream of touching you and sleeping with you in my arms. I want to be with you, to keep you warm, to hold you and never let you go. I want to be with you forever, and I know that the time will come true. We just must do the things that depends from us. And finally we can vercome all obstacles. Bruce thank you for money you sent. I have already received them. Everything is OK. I have also payed the lawyer. He said good news. My visa was approved. It meens I will get it for sure. Now we will need just to wait my visa. I am very happy you could help. I knew you will trust me and support. I think I will get visa next week. Bruce, yesterday evening I thought of you and wrote a little poem. I don't know how it is correct and right. But I think it can express my feeling very well. My dear, dear, dear, dear! I want to see you and to hear! My life is filling with a mean, After I've found you, and you've found me. I want to hold you by your hand. Oh, man! How much I want your hand! I'd like to touch all your fingers, I feel the sorrow, I'm sad singer. My friends said me: "It is a rise! There is the happy in your eyes!" But they don't know why I'm such. It is, because I love you much! But I'm sad singer (I wrote you), I can not hear and see you, I can not hold you by my hand, Because I know how far is your land! Well, don't be very strict judge. I am just a beginner. Bruce I asked the lawyer to check prices for plane ticket. He said that I can have the discount for plane ticket. You see my uncle has good services in the State. So he could have the discount for one flight in a year for him or for any member of his family. That was his offer to help me. It works at Russian airlines company Aeroflot. My uncle will need to request to his trade union for some documents and then the lawyer will help me with papers and forms to get this discount. I will need to know what is you nearest airport. The laywer must know it so he could formalize the papers. Bruce I think I must try to get this discount. It is about one third of full cost of ticket. I feel very uncomfortable you have such expenses for me. I want to help you. See what is exact prices for ticket from your side. I want to see how much they cost here. Maybe it makes no sense to get the discount. Bruce, I don't want to cut my letter. I'd like to write it forever. See you soon. I love you. Ginger

(dated 9/22/04)
I love you. I miss you very much. Your letters do make me feel good. Bruce I have got my visa. I am so happy. Thank you for your help.I asked the lawyer to scan my visa and he did. I want to show it to you. Believe me we will be together real soon. Bruce I have learned about airfare. The lawyer said I can buy ticket from Moscow to XXXXX for $450. It is the price with my uncle's discount. All papers are already ready to take the discounted ticket. Another details: the lawyer said that it is special offer from Aeroflot and it's time limited. This offer works for Russian citizens until September 30. They will rise their prices later and the prises will be most expensive closer to Christmas. My discount also will not work after this date. The lawyer said the better way will be to reserve ticket in advance and buy ticket until this offer works. We can buy ticket for any day in two months. There are some flights I can get ticket for. I will try to get ticket for the beggining of October. I think we must obtain this discount. What do you think? I am afraid that I can't help anything unless getting this discount for ticket. I am ready to come to you at any time I get a ticket. If we buy it I would be sure we will meet soon. Yesterday I had very nice day. I met my old friends. We are the friends about 10 years and an year ago they moved to St. Petersburg. I have travel to them to St. Petersburg. They are Natasha and Sergey. Very happy couple. Natasha's mother lives here and they came to visit her. In the evening they invited me and few another friends. We had very warm talking, nice supper and relaxed atmosphere. I enjoyed the evening and thought about you. I thought how it could be if you were here with me. Of course in short awhile everyone noticed my mind absence. I was with you. Smile. Yes, I still hadn't told anything about you to Natasha and Sergey. Then I told them everything. They were happy for us and said that they would be glad if we could visit them in St. Petersburg one day. Natasha were happy sincerely. But Sergey told me to be very cautious. I assured him that you are very reliable and careful man and I trust you. But Sergey asked me to give him your phone number and let him know when I come to you so he could call to me and make sure I am OK. Bruce I have so strange feeling. I am already not here and I am not there with you yet. I can't wait to meet you. Today I had a conversation with Maria Ivanovna. She is my neighbor. She is a teacher of the English language at local university. She was my mother's friend and often came to me. She lives alone and we are friends. Maria Ivanovna is 65, she's going to retire on a pension. We discussed with her the problem of language barrier. She has told me, that when she was on training in England, she has fallen in love with an young teacher Englishman). They had a love-affair. In that time she had poor English, but her friend understood her. When they remained alone, she did not use her knowledge of English. She understood him without any words. Smile. She said it is not a problem to communicate in English when you are in language atmosphere. She also thinks that I have very good skills in English. To her opinion I will need only about a couple of weeks to adapt the situation and then I will speak fluent English. It is a psychologic adaptation. And it is all right. Now I am sure I will not have any problems with English. Also I hope, you will help me to take possession English in perfection. I heard your voice message Bruce. It is really nice. I could understand it almost in full. You have very pleasant voice. Also thank you for you peom. It is really nice. Well, I close my letter. Think of me. I think of you constantly. I get very excited thinking of our meeting. I love you. Ginger

(last one dated 9/26/04)
Today I thought of you the whole day. I love your name very much, as well as you. Your name reminds me something very good. I know, that you are very good and kind person. You are my choice and I'm your choice. And I am very happy with it. I love you very much my dear. I'd like to tell you it again and again. Do you believe in my love? I see you have already told it, but I want to hear it again. We must fix feelings personally. I so hope to see you soon. I will be more happy, when I will see you near to me! Send money for ticket to my e-gold account as you did it earlier. It will be better. My uncle said Hi to you again! He is very happy for me, because I have found my love. He wishes us to be together and have happy life. I often dream about our meeting, when you will meet me at the airport, and we will go and we will talk. I think, that we will understand each other, because it will be language of love. Please write me your answer soon. I will wait for your response. I love you very much! I will think of you Bruce. Yours Ginger.


Snezhana Zhuravleva (Omsk, Russia)

Hi, my name is jerry, I am 48 years old living in the usa and was contacted by snezhana zhuravleva from the singles website Iwantu.com. She sent a photo of herself and letters that followed with more describing her life and job in russia. She said she lived in the city of omsk, russia. Within weeks she had fallen in love with me and said I was the only one she wanted to talk with now even though she was having conversations with 2 other men. She told me she communicated on the internet through an internet cafe where she bought time on the internet. She would usually write every other day and seemed to be very real. I had found out about the website russian dating blacklist and checked to see if her name was listed. I could not find her name listed and checked every now and then to see if it had been added. Within a short time she wanted to come and visit me in the united states. She asked for money to help out with the ticket for airfare and said she could pay for the passport visa. She knew a lot of information about how to send the money via western union. I delayed sending the money for a while and continued to talk with her. I then gave in and sent money to her. She seemed so real that it was convincing that she was not a scammer. She asked for money another time to pay off her bill at the internet cafe before leaving citing that she could not leave with bills unpaid. I could tell her intentions were to come here and end up going for marriage with me. Finally she went as far to write me to let me know she was in moscow getting ready to fly. She stayed there for a week I was told and then asked for 140.00 for insurance in case of an accident while in the usa. She said this would take the liability off of me and the usa while visiting. I had asked eariler if she needed anything from me about visiting as I had heard she needed a written invitation. She insisted her firm would take care of everything on a work visa and for me not to worry about anything. She would not say what she was doing while in moscow for a week and then I received a letter that she was back in omsk russia due to the fact her mother had been involved in an accident in a car wreck and was in the hospital. She said she would not be able to write me for 2 to 3 weeks but would appear to me by the middle of september for sure. I did not hear from her until 4 weeks when I got an e-mail stating she had been in the hospital herself with food poisoning and needed me to write her letters again and wanted to continue our relationship. Nothing was ever told of what had happened with her mother. That was the last letter I received from her when I finally went through the pictures submitted on the website and found two identical photos under the names, Olesya Ivanova / AKA : Cveta and Natasha Yakimova. I also found identical letters that I had been sent that were word for word with the names changed to send to me. I found more letters and a listing in her name snezhana zhuravleva on the stop-scammers website with identical letters also that I had first received. I hope this will help someone else from being scammed and to listen to the website on not sending money. her e-mail address she used was simple_me_543@mail15.com.

Letters:

letter 1 
Hi my new friend Jerry. It was very pleasant for me to receive your answer. I was very glad to get your reply. I came to the Internet cafe just to find some information and was looking through the sites. And suddenly my eye fell down on you. It was some dating site.

Letter 2

My mum is 51 years old but she is much younger. I very much love her because she one at me. My daddy has died when to me was 6 years. He has got in failure and next day he has died in hospital of loss of blood. But time flies imperceptibly and I have reconciled to his loss. I work as a librarian in the local library. Though I have a higher education, I can't find job on my profession that is why I work there to be more independent. My work quiet and easy. I like my work though it does not bring to me the big money. But to find such work in Russia it is very difficult, therefore to have to remain on this place. And you like your work?

But I shall find time to write to you. Excuse if I shall not answer you some of your questions or it is wrong to understand them, simply the program of translation on the computer works automatically and does not take into account features of our languages.

Letter 3
Hi my dear friend Jerry. Again I came to the Internet cafe just to get a letter from you. It always brings me so much joy to read what you write me, about your life there.

In general I like my job, I see and communicate with many interesting people there. But it is a hard work because I have to stay there till late and walk from one place to another. But this job allows me to have an independent life and to earn for my living. I never told to you about that that I like. I very much love sports: tennis, swimming, volleyball... I love some extreme kinds of sports... I also love winter kinds of sports. And what kinds of sports like you?

I like to listen to music. I like various styles. I listen to different music on my mood. And what music is pleasant to you? I like to cook. I love Russian food, but it demands very big efforts.

Your letters are very pleasant for me. Today my mum have Birthday and I have left work earlier and have asked to remain the girlfriend for me at work. Mum has invited several familiar. We drink tea and ate an apple pie. It is 52 years old to my mum today. It was slightly a pity to me of her because she has lived the big life and the most part of life she one has lived because daddy has early died. She lived without his caress and love. But she looks at life simply and does not long for it. Though sometimes it happens so she simply cries. I very much affraid that my life may be same....

Letter 6
Hi my lovely friend Jerry. I am very glad to read your letter again. I like your pics… Very beautiful there... I want to be honest with you. You know I have communicated with two man on internet before. But now I am not interested it them, I want to write to you only. I never wrote to you about that I have a hobby - I collect old coins. I have about 200 in the collection. I began to be engaged in it when to me was about 6 years. I very much like to do it but I have no many money to increase a collection new copies. But I do not worry about it because I treat quietly this. I think that it is pleasant to you. You know for these some letters I have fallen in love with you very strongly. I for a long time did not test anything to men, and you seem have demented me. I understand that it a little bit silly so quickly to fall in love but it is valid so. I never thought that I shall fall in love with persons with help Internet but I so have strongly grown fond of you that to me now not important as we have got acquainted with you because the main thing this that that I love you madly and it is very healthy... I very much want to arrive to you but unfortunately I have no such opportunity. I can find money to the visa and passport and make it at work but on tickets I can not find money. The visa and passport will cost about 320-380 $ US and on air tickets about 700-900 $ US. You may prompt me what to do or you can help me. Remember I will save money for my visa and passport but for tickets..??? I dream to appear about you and to present you the present love, the present passion which you did not test already for a long time. It would very pleasant for me if you will be able to help to me amount for tickets. So if you will help to me this money it would nessesary to do it via Money Gram or Western Union transfer system because we have only these kinds of transfer syster in our city. But it is not necessary to do it through a mail or any other system because we can simply lose this money. If you can make it today that to me it will be very pleasant. So I can give my money for registration of the passport and the visa that will borrow in time about 2 weeks. I shall use your money reserved seat so would not any problems later. Though if you cannot will make it today to me pleasantly to know date when you can make it really that I have calculated the days and most quickly appeared with you. Jerry, I want to be only yours. I love you and very much I miss on you. Yours and only yours Snezhana Zhuravleva.

Letter 7
Hi my lovely sweet friend Jerry. I have read your letter. Of course, we have some problems but I want that together we have tried to make as it is possible better. I can make the working visa through my firm so there is no necessity to worry for the visa. I paid for it 360 $ US.I have already given documents and money to registration of the visa and passport and have told to me that it will be ready in 10-14 days. My visa will work in your country maximum for 3 months. I very much hope that you will not wait and will try to send me money faster that I might buy tickets already. You know I plan to leave my country from international airport Sheremetyevo in Moscow. I think I can save some money for trip to Moscow but I have not any money for international flight to your country. I need in about 850 $ US on air tickets and very much I hope for your help though I shall try to find some sum of money and to facilitate your problems. I want to arrive to you faster and my sweet now it depends only on you. I already spoke as difficultly to earn such money in Russia. I and thought that money may stop our attitudes. Really a little it is a shame to me to ask it from you but I have no other exit in this situation though I too have rescued 360 $ for my trip. I wanted to buy the new TV but I have no now this necessity because I love you and I want to meet you so strongly that is ready on all. I very much want to leave from here to you, I was bothered with my city, I want to see only you and to be only with you. I have never thought that I would fall in love to you so quickly and it is not some joke my feelings are real for you. I want to execute all your dreams and imaginations of me because I love you madly. I want to do only as you will wish. I very much believe in you and your help money faster. Jerry, if you will send me money that make it through Western Union or Money Gram. Sorry but we have not any other transfer system therefore one of those ways would good for us to use. Also I must to know your full address if I would receive it. I speak English not bad but not so good… I think that it quite enough that I know to be able to dialogue with each other for the first time if I would come to you. But please do not think about me badly. I have only real and serious intentions for our dialogue. It is pleasant for me that you care of me but you know I ask you to not worry about the visa. It will made on my work. But I cannot have it in hands I can not pay it yet. You know our embassy is very much concerned with entrances of various prostitutes and addicts to the different countries therefore now it is necessary to buy tickets myself Then I will have the visa. Also here is a lot of terrorist acts therefore not everybody can fly out or go to Russia... It is a pity but it really has only such a way. Your understanding is necessary for me. I shall soon have the passport and the visa but I still have no money for air tickets and I hope only for your help. I cannot give you the necessary information because I can not get my visa also I must pay for air tickets first and only after this I will be able to take my visa. I will have a work visa and it has own features of reception. Your understanding and your help money to me is very necessary for me. Yours Snezhana.
