Hi my name is Steve and i am a single father, contacted on my yahoo personel site by maria from armenia who shows also to be listed on blackpage267 as avyagyan. I did not send money but would like her listed under this name as well. She is very persuasive, does use form letters as well as personal letters. thanks.


The letters that i received on 23/12/2004 bear a striking similarity to Olga Tregubova (Archangelsk, Russia) that is in Russian Bride Cyber Guide Black list, with some minor cut and paste. I could not find these photos in any black list database. I did an IP search and learned that the e-mail originated from the Mari-el Republic. Cheboksary is the capital of Chuvash Republic. Beware, I think these are new photos, possibly stolen. The girl in photo may be real.

Polyna Sabantseva (Volzhsk, Russia)

I am a single male father of 1 38 years old.I was on Anatopia.com where we first made contact. The contact between us has been going on for a bit over one month. We started out innocent enough and soon talked of love but soon came to a point where it was all about her money troubles in Russia and how she needs help. This is her first letter to me  after I sent a small note of interest: 

Letters:

Hello my new friend!
In the first lines of my letter I would like to thank you for your letter to me. I am very glad to receive it. I have seen your profile and I think  that we may be right for each other. But for it I think that it is necessary for both us to know each
other closer. I heard one good words that I liked a  lot. " First impressions last" . That's why I will do everything I can to tell you as more about myself as I
can. So I think I will begin the story about me. My real name is Polina. I was born in Zvenigovo in 1976 year. My birthday is on the 7 February . So  now I am 28 years old. I live in the city of my born, Volzhsk. Volzhsk is the most beautiful city (as I think) in Russia that is situated to the South-East from Moscow. It is near 850 km from the capital of  my country. If you want I can tell you more about my city in my next letter, just ask me about it, it won't be difficult for me. So, I live in a one-roomed flat with my mother. Our flat is very small but  very cozy. We have a lot of flowers here, I like flowers very much, especially roses. It is very bad that I can't have roses at home, I would like to. We have a pet. It is a cat. Her name is Myrka. She is 7 years. I love her a lot. She is like my sister. You know, it can be strange, but I think that we can
understand and feel each other. I work in a shop. I am a shop assistant. Our shop sell clothes for woman. I like my job very much, because I think it is
very interesting. I meet a lot of people and I always speak with them. By the way 4 years ago I have finished a university with a red diploma. Red diploma means that I have finished the university and I had only excellent marks. I was
always studying very good, because I knew that the education is very important in our time. If you do not have good education then you do not have a job and then you do not have a good life. I have a lot of hobbies. Most of all I like to read books. I read them every evening before go to bad. Almost all of them are very exciting and sometimes I just can't stop reading them. My favorite janres are classic and love novels. I like theatres a lot. I go there every time I can. Of course it is not cheap to go there, but I try to find money once a month to see a play. I like listening to the music. I like all music at all,but  the most I like classic music. For example Bach,  Chaykovsky, etc. I like doing sport. I like to swim a lot. I think that water relaxes my body most of all. It is very good when you are in the water. I do my morning exercises every morning. I try to keep my figure good. So, I think now you have a little thought about me, about my likes. I would like to tell you now about why I am here. I am 28 years now and I think that it is the best age for marrying. It is the best age for have children. I do not like Russian man. Of course there are a lot of good men in my country, but frankly speaking almost all of them just want to drink vodka and to have sex with woman. But it is not enough for me. I want really great
relation with a man. I want him to love me. That's why almost three weeks ago I went to the internet cafey. Before you I was writing to two other men from USA, but they didn't suit me. I really didn't like them. I always write only to one man. I think that it is not good to write to some men in one time. So you are the third
man that I mat here. I hope that 3 will be a good for me. Who knows maybe you are my type of man. To understand this, I think I will need a week. And then I will tell you are you suit me or not, ok? I will tell you a few words about how do I see my future  husband. I think that this man is clever, brave, romantic, and the most important for me is that he has a rich inner world and he loves me and I love him. It even doesn't matter for me his age, his appearance, and something like that. It doesn't matter for me where he live,how much money does he have, I do not need money from him, I need only him. And one more, I do not want man with whom I want to live,I want to find a man without whom I won't be able to live. Because I really need love in this life. I want it very much, because I am really tired of being alone. Ok, I will finish my first letter to you now,I think that it is enough for now. I will be waiting for you story about you. In the end of this letter I would like to ask you some questions. I do not think it will be difficult for you to answer them. What is your
real name? How old are you? Where do you live? Where were you born? Are your parents alive? Do you have any brothers or sisters? DO you have any pet? Where do you work? DO you like your work? Do you like my photo? Why are you seeking woman in the internet? Are you serious about marrying? Do you have any photo? Can you send it to me? What are your likes and dislikes? What is your hobbies? What is your favorite color? What is your favorite type of music? Do you like theatres? Do you like to swim? Do you like reading
books? And one more. Please sorry my for my English. It is not very good. But you should understand that I was learning English only in the  school and in the university, that's why I forget almost everything of it. But I will try to learn it
better with your help. Waiting for your answer tomorrow with a great
impatience, Your new friend,

Polina.


I actually said I would try to help her when I finished my bills at the end of the month and as the month drew nearer her need for money seem to be greater; at first it was just internet money than it was food in general then it was food for a birthday party for her on February 7th then I decided to tell her that I thought that the best use of any extra cash I had should go in a savings account so we could save up for her to come here so she did not have to suffer any longer. 

My next letter from her stated that:  

Vinny, I have a big trouble. It is really bad. I do not know what to do. I will try to tell you what's happened. The fact is that today I went to the bank and I have taken my mother pension. Because we have to pay for our flat on Saturday. There was 160 dollars, because my mother didn't take it for 3 months. And when I was going from the bank two guys took my hands and put me to the car. I was shocked. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to shout but they told me that they will kill me if I will do this and they put the knife to my head. It was terrible. They took my bag with all the money and told me that if I
go to police they will find me and kill me. Vinny, I do not know what to do. It happened two hours ago then I went to my friend and borrowed 3 dollars to write the letter to you. I need the advice. I need help. I do not know how I will tell my mother about it. Because we have no place to find money to pay for our
flat, and if we do not pay they will take our flat and we will live on the streets. And they will not wait for any more day after the Saturday. 

She goes on to say that she will pay me back in 3 months.   Of course not buying into this I quickly called her/them on their BS and said that I thought that they were in fact scammers and of course she/they denied it and I wrote her again that I would continue to save money and write her but I would not send her money until I was sure that she was real and I would come to see her first instead of her coming here, which she said was a tradition that Russian woman should come to her man first and she could not break this tradition. She/they then wrote back that because I did not trust her that she would no longer write me. Funny thing is that she some how she found more money
to go to the Internet cafi the day before she was to be kicked out into the street. She also did insist that Western Union was the only way to get her money and she had a friend Lena that told her this because she had a boyfriend in the USA as well and that is why she knew this. She also would never give me her home address.

Tatiana (Tanya ) Vasenina (Cheboksary, Russia)

I am a 52 year old divorced male in the USA. They just keep on coming! Out of the latest batch of 8 scammers I am corresponding with, this is the forth to be reported to the black list making a total of 22 scammers I have reported so far (since May of 2004). I was first contacted by this scammer on January 24, 2005 through the yahoo personals site. As usual, no profile was attached. The e-mail address used was tati_fluffy@bk.ru This scam is the typical money for visa, passport and airfare. This one was interesting because they gave many details of the visa process from the US Embassy including the letter of invitation she would need to have from me. They acknowledge the fact that it is very difficult for a young girl in her country to get a visa but because she has a friend (Galina) who works in the Embassy that it could be done without any problem. If someone didnąt know better they might fall for this. Of course it is all lies and nonsense, but elaborately done. Notice that she insists that I do not contact the US Embassy and that everything is to be handled only through her. Included are the most important letters and pictures.

Hello my new friend Jim! I am glad, that you answered my e-mail. I for the first time in the life of a beginning to write to whom that of the letter. Jim the city Cheboksary is located on the river Volga. in more detail you can to look on the Internet. You certainly ask me,why I have decided to correspond with the man from other country? I am sociable girl, I would like to find I think an ideal match is someone who makes me better than I am. I'm looking for someone who sticks to his own values or beliefs, and doesn't let society or peers make him something he's not. I'm looking for someone who is honest and loyal to people he cares about,someone who will treat me with respect and wants to get to know me well,beyond superficial qualities. I believe the "friendship" part of a relationship is more important than anything else and is too often ignored or overlooked for more visible things. This seems like all kind of heavy stuff, but he should have a sense of humor, enjoy sports (or at least watching), and just getting up and doing things - I don't like to sit around and waste the day! He should like to travel and see new places; I love to explore places, see how people live in places different than I'm used to...let's see, my ideal match would also be intelligent and care about his family. Family is so important to me...I also admire people who work hard and care about what they do, whatever it is. I'm looking for someone who will make me smile all the time, or at least a lot! He should also be willing to kill bugs and spiders for me. So I guess if you've got some of these things, we'd probably get along. I think I'm pretty easy to get along with. One thing I can't tolerate is people who chew gum loudly!:) I would like to see some pictures yourself, your family, districts where you live, your house e.t.c At present I have some pictures myself. Please excuse,if if my english is difficult reading for you . to become I have not a personal computer , I use the computer of my girlfriend, her name is Dasha ,also we were trained in one medical university on professions stomatologist, and now shes my colleague on work... At present to me much would be to you to be told, I promise you, that I will write to you necessarily details about the city, my work, and friends, family, and much other about what you would want to know about me. I hope. That it will be pleasant to you to receive from me e-mails. I would like, that you wrote to me as it is possible frequently. Some questions, you hardworking? You love to create a cosiness, comfort in your house? You have a purpose in life, certainly if you already have carried out it. You the passionate man? You involve brunette or blondes ? You love when or really? You have ideal the woman? What role in your life plays the sex? Please give the answer, if it does not complicate you. take care, Tanya.

Hello my friend Jim. I want to thank you for the letter, it was very interesting to me to read the letter and to learn about your life. Jim thanks to you large for your photos. In the letter I want to tell to you about myself more in detail. I think that I passionate, especially I gentle, tender lady, I never tested pleasures from sex, because I am a virgin, but I am very tired from loneliness, also probably on I have affected strict education my father and my personal beliefs , I consider that intimate relations before marriage this not it is correct, that you think about this my friend?I hardworking. I never was married and I haven't any childrens. I am lonely and the reason of my loneliness not only in me. However,I do not know if it interestingly for you. I live honestly, and it brings pleasure to me.I am optimist and I like to smile, because a smile - mirror of soul. For happiness is not required many things. Likely the main thing that does not suffice me now is love. People without love cannot be happy. But when near there is a close person whom you love, life becomes fine irrespective of where you live and what you have. But the loneliness fills a life with sadness. But I do not want to speak about sadness anymore. I am glad that I have an opportunity to write to you and I am glad that you write to me. And at present it really causes a smile on my face. So has developed, that I have not met that worthy man, who would be with me a line. Certainly I had dialogue with the different men,but in anybody from them I was not sure, you probably are surprised, you see to me 25 years and I could not find to myself the good husband, but it is valid so. In the life had only once serious relations with man, we should get married, but at the latest moment he has thrown me,then to me there were 23 years, now I know, that our relation after behind courage could not proceed long. I have become isolated in myself and some time practically did not communicate with men, it was terrible to me to begin what or the match with another by the man many wanted to meet me, but I any more did not trust whom, I think you understand me, it was very difficult. I don't pity about anything! At present I search for first and last love. About my character ( aquarius , 22 January date of my birth day): At heart optimist, quiet, sociable, kind, tender. In general my character I think soft.I appreciate in the man kindness, aspiration and honesty. I love classical music,, theatre, cinema, sports, flowers (tulips), ice-cream. Favourite season - spring . You like this season? Favourite colour -is green. I like to listen classical music, simply instrumental music, jazz, any pop, Such music allows to relax and have a rest. Under such music I like to think. I like to listen to guitar masterpieces of Joe Satriani. I very much like group Dire Straits. I like Pink Floyd. They are not similar to anybody. It is great group. I like Madonna, Robbie Williams and George Michael and many others. I studied english in school and has having continued to study in university, think that I have was able talk dialogue. I begin education In medical university, this was of interest period in my lifes, in that time I raged the study an allowance on biologies , chemistries , construction of the person, in particular anatomies. Already 2 years I work the assistent in Town stomatologist clinic N2 of city Cheboksary was recently built new building, which is equiped by the most modern equipment. The Personnel of the clinic constantly raises its qualification, I have it is enough good experience in professions stomatolog so in the future I can raise its level in work.I really to like my work.

I think that such certainly probably, I even heard that many not only Russian girl got acquainted through the Internet and then came to favourite in their country or on the contrary men arrive in their country. Yes, probably it is very strange to write each other letters, at first I did not trust that there can be such love and that in general it is possible to find the man of the dream thus, but now I know that such happens, because my friendly love to you becomes more and more strong, I do not know that there is to me, but all my ideas and feelings now only about you my lovely friend!

Also I very much love to run on mornings, near to our house there is a school, where there is a sports platform and sports shells, certainly I have not enough time to go in a training hall. Sometimes in days off in the evening I leave to look, how on a school field children play in football, and you love football? They very amusing and ridiculous! I like such kinds of sports as basketball, volleyball, easy athletics. Becomes now very warm also we with the girlfriends we go for city to have a rest on a nature, at the river, to sit at a fire, to sing songs under a guitar, I slightly am able to play on a guitar, I know all simple chords, though I think that I sing much better. We fry shish kebabs on fire, I think you know that such a shish kebab. We have pleasant conversation at a fire, it is usual we leave early in morning and we come back back in city under evening. This very beautiful place where we like to have a rest about Volga in 15 kilometers from cities, the husband of my girlfriend Dasha has car and we without problems quickly arrive to this place about woods. Unfortunately it happens seldom, because all are engaged and enough time for rest has no, we are going to go in this grove in these target, I think that we perfectly shall lead time.

Tatyana (Masha) Kyzkina (Irkutsk, Russia) 


just thought i would let everyone know that tatyana has changed her name to 
masha/mariya. her new email is devyshka2005@pisem.net . thank god i hav found  this site before it went on any farther. attached are the pictures she sent me. 


Tatyana Shilova (Irkutsk, Russia)

My scammers name is Tatyana Shilova from Irkutsk. Although some simple detective work showed that she was emailing me from Moscow. I am 28 year old Latin male that works as a Cinematographer in the Southwest. Like most men on this list I was contact via Yahoo Personals. Like most men I had the same reaction to the first email "Why is a woman from Russia contacting me?" What got me interested is that there was no picture and usually women that are nervous about their appearance do not show their picture. Of course I'm the kind of guy that likes to learn about other cultures and people so I figured this could be interesting. What made this scammer so good (even my friends and family could not tell) is that it started as any normal relationship. There was no sign of wanting money or a sudden jump to "I love you". It was simple friendship talking about what relationships are all about. The contact started in late November 2004. The first email she sent was in December 4, 2004. She claimed to be a doctor of Cardiology and had 10 years of schooling and had practiced for 2 years and is now 27 years old with no relationship because of her devotion to her work..ect ect ect. Ok so what tipped me off...Only one sign...It was all too perfect. Lets face it how many women are really ready to fall in love with guy in another country without meeting them face to face. I decided to search her name on Google and Wallah! Her name (in variations) and pictures are on this site!! I'm going to do letter comparison so that you can see what spelled it out for me.

I DO NOT DRINK And DO NOT SMOKE. Drugs even never saw So unless this Tatyana has a 130 lbs clone of herself... IT'S THE SAME LETTER!! and it's the same pictures! What I also noticed is another part of the letter which was sent to me at a different time...

First Tatyana Kyzkina November 7, 2004 :
Yesterday difficult day on work was. Many operations on heart. It is very difficult work. Unfortunately this work is not paid for advantage, this my opinion In general in Russia, people earn scanty money, it is hardly enough of it for residing For example, I earn 120 dollars per one month.It not the big money for Russia. But this money suffices to live in Russia. I not magnificently live. Me suffices on products and on some things. I do not complain the life. But on this money it is impossible to visit to have a rest on the sea or in other country. Now Tatyana Shilova January 24, 2005 : Yesterday difficult day on work was. Many operations on heart. It is very difficult work. Unfortunately this work is not paid for advantage, this my opinion In general in Russia, people earn scanty money, it is hardly enough of it for residing For example, I earn 120 dollars per one month. It not the big money for Russia. But this money suffices to live in Russia. I not magnificently live. 

This woman is living a cut and paste lifestyle! Another important note is that I noticed many of these scammers are originating from the same place. While searching for the origin of her emails I noticed other scammers had similar origins. If your search sent you to Russia MariEl Republic and Nikolay Nikolaev then you have found the main ISP for that region, but not the computer. The computer is a dialup in Moscow in the region of Moskva. I hope this helps keep these scammers away from good people. Here are her pictures and another letter she wrote. 

Tanusha Shilova recived January 6, 2005

I am again very glad to see your letter.
I with pleasure read your letters and it lifts my mood It is pleasant to know that someone thinks of you and writes such letters. Before our acquaintance I did not think, that is possible to become adhered to the man, if not met it , but now I think differently, because I feel, that our acquaintance becomes more important for me with each day. With you, I would agree to lead all life  The love it is the puzzle which people were not able to solve for many thousand years. 
But if it been solved, then it would have been sad to live. I always pictured
love as a large bird with wide wings.  It flies high in the sky over the land, it takes him or her, flaps its wings over them and flies further.  It looks like she has flown over us.  As I start to have not ordinary feelings, to you.  I feel that I can give you my love, warmth, care and tenderness. I suppose marriages are made on the heavens and here, on the Earth we are looking for our second halves.  I'd like to believe that you are my half. I think that in person the most
important is his soul, but appearance is only a cover, and under it there's our
existence.  I dream my Beloved never betray me, I am not jealous and I think that the jealous is the poor attribute of the soul.  One should trust to each other. It's my point of view. May be it's false, but it's my thought.  I know, that it is possible to rely on you, I completely trust you and I know that such male as you, never me deceive.  The deceit is the most bad character trait of the person, it at all does not decorate the person!  I hope that our relations will be good and that we'll be able to trust to each other the most our personal wishes.
I want to see your pleasure and share it with you.  I want to know what make you happy?  I shall try to do the utmost for you that you were happy I think about you very often and I recollect all letters which you wrote to me.  In them I see many warmth and kindness. I want to hope, that I am not indifferent  to you too.  Please write to me as much as possible, I like reading your letters and communication  with you makes me very happy and I look forward to it.  It is also very exiting to believe that perhaps someday we might actually meet.  Understand me I can not find male in Russia, which loved me and respected. 
As one wise man has told " when we live we are in search, in search that who can  go with you on vital ways, because to one to go very much and very much Difficultly. "  I think what you agree with me?  I hope, that you understand my English language. Please write to me a more, I like reading your letters and communication with you makes me very happy  I believe that perhaps someday we might actually meet.  Certainly I understand what very early to speak about it. It simply my dreams.  Can perceive them not so seriously. But all that I have written it completely sincerely with all my heart.  "What are your dreams, ambitions, and hopes for the future?" - my dream to have happy family and is a lot of children and to be good the doctor.  "Tell me more about your childhood:-)" - all my childhood this studying of biography Lenin. and in the childhood of us learned to not love foreigners and USA. But I did not trust this. I think that foreigners very good people. I shall wait for your answer.
Yours friend Tatyana

p.s. On this photo I to be on my the kitchen. Be not frightened.  It is kitchen during repair.






Veronika Andreisheva (Kozmodemiansk, Russia)

I am a single 27 year old man who is employed by the Federal Government. I have a Yahoo Personals account, which is how Veronika first contacted me. I was not the least bit suspicious at first, but I have always been cautious and decided to check up on it. Thank God I did. Your website saved me from being scammed. I only received 2 letters from her and one photo. She never got around to asking me for money. Needless to say, after finding out this information about her, I sent her a wonderful nasty gram. I hope she likes it. I probably should not have let my anger get the best of me, as my letter was quite rude (putting it nicely). Beware! She is obviously still in the scamming business. Here are the 2 letters in order:

2nd letter I received: 

Hi my dear stranger Keith!
I have more recently learned to work on the Internet and have casually gone on a site where has found your profile. I very modest girl, but I nevertheless have dared to write to you as I think that communication with the person from other country is very unusual! I never communicated with people from other countries and I simply dream to find in your person of the friend with whom it is simply interesting to communicate and share news! You the first to whom I write and I hope, that our correspondence will have the good beginning! Now I sit in Internet - cafe and I write to you this letter! I think, that time has come to get acquainted! My name is Veronika. I from Russia, live in the city Kozmodemiansk. I'm 26 years old. My growth 175 Centimeters.  My Birthday is July,8. On a horoscope Cancer. Nationalities I am Russian. My religion: the Christian. On character I the sanguine  person: very cheerful, kind, vigorous and in a measure modest. I easily find common language with strangers and simply I like to communicate on interesting themes! My job: the teacher of biology. I work at school and I'm teaching children of biology about plants and animals. I very much love animals. When I was a child, I studied at musical school during 4 years where I learned playing on a piano. I was the winner of many festivals and competitions on music. All spoke about me as about talented the pupil. But I am engaged in playing on a piano just a little now, but frequently I sing in karaoke and always I get the highest results! When I have free time i like walk in the parks which are a lot of in my town. I am absorbed in books as well.  Pushkin, Esenin are the great poets deserving to be read by everyone.  I take pleasure in reading poems about which I can tell a bit more. In my 16-17 I delighted visiting my granny and grandpa in the small city of Zelenograd in 50 km from Moscow in Russia. They reside in a small house but have a big orchard. This is an astonishing place like paradise especially it is beautiful in spring and summer when there flower apple-trees, cherry-trees and apricots. I rollick in waking up early in the morning and listening to birds singing and looking at trees aflower. It is a beautiful nature like nothing else on earth. It is gorgeous and marvelous in coloring. A trifle later our orchard treated us with fruits tasting deliciously. I still remember this flavor. Closing my eyes I see the picture of my orchard. My grandpa comes to my mind catching fish on the lake and we waited for him with impatience. Granny cooked a very tasteful fish soup. What is more? My granny had small goats. She milked them and gave me fresh milk. In evenings I with my friends, get together to read poems. Oh! I am just lost in warm memories of my childhood. I think one can write about them endlessly. It is much pleasant for me to correspond with you about my memories. All this takes me deeply. I enjoy swimming and from time to time I attend swimming-pool. I like going on foot. Active life is generally my cup of tea. I can write about it long and long. If you take some interest in this point of my life, I will talk to you about it in my next letters. I hope, that my letter was pleasant to you! I too wait from you for interesting letters! I hope, we shall soon make friendship and we become the best friends!
With hope your Veronika


Seems like a pretty convincing letter. I was not aware as to how extensive this scam was until I read your website. I wish I could see the look on her face when she reads what I emailed her! Serves her right for pulling something so stupid. I hope that Yahoo is aware of idiots like this. The email address above is the only one I have for her. She probably has dozens of them. Again, thanks for this website and to the people who came forward with their information as well. Glad I caught onto her before she had a chance to “milk the cow”. I am in the process of informing Yahoo. Just wanted to get this warning out.

Elena Sergeeva (Kazan, Russia)

Hello:

I am a 39 y/o white male, self employed who was sent an Email on Yahoo
Personals by Elena Sergeeva. But the twist is that I have already been
searching for a Russian Woman in the FSU and am very aware of the process of obtaining visas and such. When I received her email, I knew what was coming soon...money request. After only 4 emails, she was in love with me, her family and friends blessed us and she needed $390 for visa and consulate
visit. Of course, I checked her out and found she was a scammer. The address
she provided me is a fake as it shows up on a black list site as non existent in Kazan, Russia. She did make one phone call to me using a voice over internet company based out of New Jersey. The number is: 201.824.5055  Thanks to this site, we can continue to list these scammers so others can avoid from being ripped off.  Here is a sample of her first email and one where she requests money:

Respectfully,
Alyn
