Tatyana aka
(Ivanova Olga) (Yoshkar-Ola, Russia)
An email claiming to be from a 'Tatyana' got through my spam software and, recognising it as a scam, I decided to continue the charade and
see if I could obtain details of the individual for this list.
It didn't take long (just over a week) for 'Tatyana' to go from first contact to money request on these details:
1) My full name - IVANOVA OLGA
2) My full address - Russia, Yoshkar-Ola, Vashskay 19.
No mention of 'Tatyana' at all, you'll notice! I immediately informed Western Union, Moneygram and the IC3, and am waiting for their
responses. I also told Olga I needed a copy of her passport to process the transfer, and she provided it, which I have attached along with the
clearest pictures she sent.
I just hope this helps someone else avoid this scammer, and possibly land her in hot water as well, but I'm pretty sure that's unlikely. They're like cockroaches!

Letter
Good morning my lovely Henry!!!
I hope, that you O'k!!! It's so???
I have good news and bad. I get my visa today, but it had some difficulties.
When I have come in embassy to me have told, that it will be really difficult.
They made check my visa and my travel in your country. It is very difficult however.
When I have come to embassy the ambassador asked the many questions.
He has asked a question on that who will bear the responsibility about me when I shall be in
the your country.
I informed to him that I can take care of myself itself.
He has told that knowledge of English language it insufficiently to be in safety.
The ambassador informed me that I should have relatives or the
guarantor to fly in the your country. I informed the ambassador that I have no
relatives living on territory the your country. I have told to the ambassador
about our correspondence with you, but he has told to me, that we should be familiar long time that you could take the
responsibility for me and informed that it will not work. It has very difficult system however.
But they offer to me an exit from this situation.
They have told, that I can buy the insurance document.
It will have the responsibility for my life in your country.
They have told, that if I want to receive visa I should buy this document.
If I shall not make this document I never can receive the visa.
I never faced with such problems. I have decided to take consultation from the lawyer all
over again.
I took consultation from him. I have told to it, that after William has
deceived me, I began to search, that person who wants to have and develop relations together with me.
I have told him, that now I have very serious relations with you.
The lawyer has told me, that it is good, but it will not work for embassy.
It is connected by that we are familiar with you not a plenty of time.
The embassy will refuse in receptions of the visa.
He has told, that I bought the insurance document.
It is a unique correct and reliable choice.
After that I have gone in embassy and we made registration of the insurance document for me.
This document has cost 520 pounds. I had at myself 600 pounds. These are money for purchase of
the ticket and residing in your country. Now I have 80 pounds. It will not be enough.
I can not arrive to you.
Now I need 450 pounds to arrive to you. I understand, that it is very difficult.
But I never collided with such problems.
I did not know, that it is so difficult. But I know, that I made a correct
choice.
I have made everything that we had a meeting with you. I very much want it.
If I have not paid this insurance document I never would receive the visa.
But now I have it. I have all documents to arrive to you and we shall have a happy pair
together.
But I need 450 pounds. I very much sad!!!
My heart belongs to you. I know, that it is destiny. I am filled with emotions now.
I think, that it will work.
I do not know, that you think about it. Probably you will not help me and we shall never
have a meeting.
I do not want it. I want to be only with you. If you can make help for us I shall be very
happy.
I hope for it very much. It's only your choice.
I send this letter to you with hope, that you will not push away me.
I hope, that all our letters were not an empty phrase.
I am valid need in you.
Yours Tatyana.
P.S I am online now, please to write to me as soon as possible.
  
Tatiana Kotova (Moskow, Russia)
Hello,I am an african-american male 41 years old single never married about 1 month ago I became a member of (Singlesnet.com) dating
agency and was contacted by this lady under the name of "tanya" and she was supposed live in Erie , Pa,USA .She gave me her e-mail
address and closed her account (smeyne33@yahoo.com) right away so I became suspicious and did some research about Russian women and came across info on their dating scams and her letter fell right in place with scammers example letters on website where they would ask for money to come be with you in US but she told earlier in a letter she worked for agency and they would take of expenses then in last letter she needed 1000 usd to get here and ask me to send it western union. This person is a scam artist she didn't get any money from but I don't want someone else to fall for this scam. PS she also slipped up and
told me she was never outside Russia but when she contacted me she lived in Erie ,Pennsylvania US.

It would be great if you can meet me in the Airport and wait for me
there. I will be very thankful to you if you can do it. If something happens and we will not be able to find each other I can call your
phone number or you can make a paper with my name and hold it!
If you will be late because of your work or something else I can wait for you at the Airport... I will be tired after such big flight (I
will be on the plane many hours! I'm not sure how much, I will find out) and have some rest.
So I booked tickets and I can pass my interview only when I pay for my
tickets, I didn't know about it. I can receive my visa after I pay my tickets so they want to be sure I have roundtrip tickets so I'm not
going to stay illegally over there. I think there rules are too strict...
I have some money but my flight from my town to Moscow costed so
much (about 550$) because it's so far from Moscow. Of course it is
my fault because parents told me that I have to travel by train but I wanted to do everything faster so
I took a plane...
Anyway now it's too late to sorry.
Another bad thing yet that prices of service of aerflot (tickets)
became more expensive because of high gasoline price.
I didn't guess that everything costs so much and they didn't say anything. They say they arranged my trip, visa and all necessary
documents and money is only my business.
I have to buy tickets till my interview because of such rule. Maybe
you could borrow me some money?
I can't live here too long because every day I have to spend some money for food and rent of room.
Really expensive city. The cup of the tea costs about almost two dollars.
I think it is not too great amount I ask and I am sure I will be able to
return it back in a few weeks after I arrive. I will earn some money and from
the first salary I return it back to you.
in Agency they have told me that you may send it by Western Union. It is
pretty easy to use they said. I have been to the bank and they gave me
the information.
All you need is my name, my surname and address to send me the money. Once
you do this, I'll be able to pick up the money at any local Western Union office
in Moscow. We need to do it pretty fast, because we have no time till my
interview, if everything is all right I will be on this plane!
You will send me a transfer info and MTCN ( money transfer control
number) I will get cash.
Kiss you many times, I am tired today,you know it is hard enough to be
in a city where you don't have any friends or relatives. So many different
emotions.
Kiss you many times! see you soon!
Ah, silly me. Almost forgot to give you my full name and my address.
My address here (where I rent a room)
Country : Russia,
City : Moscow,
Address : Titova 2-18.
post code : 117683
Full name Tatiana Kotova
I have about 300 US dollars. Please try to send about 1000 US dollars
so I will be sure I have enough money for all my travel needs and flight. I know you will try to help me!
I can't wait to hug you when we meet! If you can't meet me at the Airport we can meet somewhere in the city, but I don't know how much
the taxi cost over there. I'm glad I have a job lined up and when we
meet each other maybe you will even want to have closer relationship
with me and maybe we can even live together someday! If you want! It's
just my dreams... But if you don't want to live with me I will live with other girls who came to work too.
see you soon!!! You are a great man and I hope you will not live me alone in Moscow and help me!
