Lubov Bazhenova (Tumen City, Russia)

My name is Joe and I am a widowed white American, 41 years old in South Carolina, and I work for the telephone company. I was contacted by "Luba" on matchmaker.com. She left a msg. with her email address for me to reply to which was 
lubruss@fromru.com
 
I replied, although I was skeptical. Within a few days of surfing the net, I came across this site and I found a Russian woman's picture who had contacted me about 6 months ago and as the typical story goes, declared her undying love for me after 5-6 letters, and then wanted money immediately to come to me. I then was suspicious and refused to send money and she stopped contact. Well, after seeing this, I was definitely suspicious about this "Luba". So I asked her for a full name, address, and phone number. She replied with 
Lubov Bazhenova,
59, Lunacharskogo, 2,
Tumen City, Russia, 625001
but of course she didn't have a phone, but wanted my phone number to call me. To make a long story short, when I got her full name, I came back to this site and I found this name along with several variations of it, and several different addresses, as well as totally different pictures of this person. Her story to me was exactly of the others on here, but some of the names of her family and friends were different. Of course there was this evil teacher at her university that was also stated in other letters I found on here. I also found her listed with six different "screen-names" on matchdoctor.com, and contacted them and she is now deleted. I also contacted fromru.com and they stated they had removed her name. I don't believe they did because I tried it again just to see, and it did go through. I found it funny that a lot of her letters to me were word for word identical to some posted on here.
Sincerely,
Joe C

letter #12 - where monies were first mentioned:

Hi my dear love Joe!!!
I am very glad to receive your warm and lovely letter my darling. I know that our hearts will together always, because our love is eternal, this great feeling connects the another people and us through a continents. My dear, my love Joe, as it seems, this feeling which includes a three basic feelings. These feelings are a trust, careful attitude to each other, and complete understanding to each other, sometimes even understanding without words,do you agree with me my darling? But not looking on that love is very strong great feeling, it also is very fragile, realy my dear, because only one word or an not right action can destroy it and already anybody willn't can to restore this great feeling. Probably, you will think that a purpose of all my correspondence with you it is only desire to leave for America. Believe me my darling, it is not so my love, the fact in that when I began to write to you, I couldn't to believe what it is possible to fall in love through the Internet. I thank Internet that we found each other my darling. Only I have decided to try to do it and that from this it has turned out. We with you love each other very much and we should be together, because we can't withoiut each other my darling. I have learned much in the searches as we want to meet each other very much. My dear, I have a good news for us my darling Joe!!! My girlfriend Natasha have connected with her aunt Irina to Moscow at last. Irina has said to Natasha that she has learned how much cost a visa and a foreign passport too. Irina have called in embassy and there have said to her that it will be better for us with you, Joe, if I will have the visa of a tourist too. This visa will valid during six months. With this visa I can travel till USA without any restrictions. The price of the visa, as Irina was informed in embassy, is 155 US dollars. Besides the process of registration of the visa costs 60 US dollars. By the way Natasha's aunt Irina as has taken an interest about other kinds of the visas too, as to her have said, that there is a set of kinds of the visas. For  example, visa of a bride. Irina has thought that this visa of bride approaches to us, but her in embassy have said that this visa costs more expensively and its registration costs a lot of money. It is 490 dollars US and the registration of the visa will during 4 months, it is very long. From it because the tourist visa is better variant than visa of bride now for us my love Joe. My Joe, I want to ask you my dear, that you will help me with the money recourses on the documents. As probably you know an economic situation in our country, simply it is awful, and at our college don't  give the salary to work personal during a long time. Our government explains it to those that they simply don't have money and they havn't a recourses on the salary for the teachers in total. By the way I ask you my dear send to me 305 dollars. It is certainly large money, you probably have thought what is it more than the cost of the visa. But I must have a recourses on the air plane ticket from Tyumen City to Moscow too the cost of which is 2720.50 russian rubles or it is 90 US dollars. By the way Natasha's aunt Irina will find the prices of the air ticket for the fling to  you too. She will say about it later through a few days, she will find a cheaper airtickets, also she ask you to say to me about the air tickets which cost in USA, ok my dear? But now at first I will must to begin a process of the registration of all necessary documents for my fling to you my Joe. If you will send me this so necessary recourses for this  documents, it will be better for making through a system of Western Union or MoneyGram too, but as Natasha with Martin have said me, it will be better to send a recourses through Western Union too. Also I want to say to you, Joe, when Martin asked Natasha to come to him in Oslo City, he have sent a necessary recourses on the documents and air ticket through the sistem of Western Union too. As to me Natasha and Martin have said, it is the best and fast transfer system of the Western Union too,  besides this sistem is a safe. You will can to use the sistem of MoneyGram too as Martin have said me, but it will better through Western Union. My dear Joe, when you will send the money, send it on this address, which is here:

Lubov Smirnova (Makeevka, Ukraine)
Osanna agency Don Bass 

I am 37 years old from Switzerland - I started communicating with this lady  a few months ago - Her name is Lubov Smirnova. I knew her from match.com. I  was just coming out from another scammer relationship in which I had lost  some money. However, what seem unique to me with this one was her constant reference to God - she seemed quite real and apparently she didn't even ask for money, but constantly referred to her mother who was sick and the  medical fees, which seems to be too expensive for her. I was quite outright - I told her, I wasn't going to be responsible until I can sit down with her and talk - however, I was so stupid to send her a 50$ for our communication. What made me suspicious was the fact that she made a mistake on one of her later in which she referred to me with a name of somebody else - the whole scam came clear when I phone to the agency (Don bass - which is the real scammer) - she was not the same Lubov who is so tender but a cold voice of a monster. That's when I checked the blacklist and found the Devil - a pretender who comes as an angle of light!! The following are the wonderful sweet sensation of this devil.

Letter

Hello, my dear Mr. Bin!
I am very glad to continuer our correspondents. I hope that everything was OK with you and your relatives those days. I want to thank you for you. You change my life for better like the spring sun can change the weather for a few days-you are my life and my dreams. It is so wonderful to feel such way... But our life consists not only of good but bad time too. I am worry about my mother- she is in hospital now. Our doctors are good but the medicines which she need cost a great amount of money but the others help her very slowly. it is very difficult to understand that you can do nothing to help such person as your mother. I hope that The God hears my prays and helps her to recover as soon as possible. Sorry, I don't want to bother you with my problems and troubles but I feel that you are kind man and can understand what I feel these days. I am an optimist and believe only in better... Please, take care about yourself. I wish you to be health. I send you my kisses waiting for your soon reply.

Letter

My sweetheart,hi!
I am so happy to receive your letter,my future!!! Mr. Bin,I trust on you, my intuition whispers me that you are the right person for me... Thank you very much for your prayers. My mother is much better now but lack of money to buy the necessary medicines play its role in her recover. But I am sure that our prayers help her a little,my Angel. Our God is so kind for His children that He is constantly taking care about us,human beings!!! I'm really happy that I met you in my life. I don't know what I would do either if I don't meet you, Mr. Bin. I'm certain that you and I are meant to be together. I just know that deep within my heart that this is all happening for a reason and though it may not be easy but in the end it will all be worth it and we will be happy with each other. I am so thankful that you have come into my life and one day I will be able to show you how much I appreciate you, dear. I wish we could have met years earlier but it is meant to happen this way so I can't change destiny. In life there are up and down cycles and at certain timeswhen you are up things don't cross your path at that time which you want, they sometimes cross your path when you are on a down cycle but if something crosses your path then, you will appreciate this more. I'm not sure I am making any sense here and I will explain this to you when we meet. When we meet I have so much to say which I don't think I could properly convey in a letter. You are my inspiration and you make me think that anything is possible and I never have felt this way before. I hope that you feel the same, my dear Mr. Bin. I must tell you that I feel very positive and excited about our future. I have to tell you bye for now, dear. I'm thinking about you all the time... 
Take care, 
your Lubov.

Maria Saleeva (Norilsk, Russia)

I am a white American male, single, no kids, age 37. I received contact from this person through match.com. I corresponded with her for about four weeks. I became suspicious when she declared her love to me and then asked for money later on. I am familiar with the visa process, so I did not send any money. I continued to communicate with this person since I found no scam info on her. I finally found a similar picture at www.firstdream.com under known scammers ( Elena Koldyreva from Ekaterninburg ). Attached are several photos, "money" letter, her given info, and e-mail routing info. 

She claims to be from Norilsk, but does not describe the weather accurately. This town is closed to foreigners, so going there is out of the question. Did not reply to my meeting her in another town in Russia.

Initial letter:

Hello! Let me introduce myself. I am a nice-looking girl from Russia. My name is Maria, I am 27 years old. I am rather tall (170cm), slim. My hobbies are music and reading. I am fond of sports. Ia m good at badminton. Besides, I like walking on foot. It seems to me that nature is the most harmonic and beautiful thing in the world. And I often try to spend my free time in the open air. I also like to travel. It helps us to meet other people, get new interesting useful information and communicate. I have graduated from the University. I am a teacher of a secondary school. I speak English and a little bit German. I am a sincere, faithful, kind and tender girl. I like to laugh and enjoy life. I have a good sense of humour and I like jokes. I don't drink or smoke. I am interested in marriage. I have never been married because it is a very serious question for me. But I hope to create a family someday. I would like to meet a SINCERE, kind, tender and honest man with similar interests and values. To my mind, the main human value is kindness. If you are kind everything will be fine in your life. People must be kind to each other and try to do only good things. In spite of today's world problems we must not forget taht we are people and all in this world, in our lives depends upon us. A man can build and also can destroy! But it is much better to be a builder, isn't it? If you are interested in my personality, please write me about yourself.

Money letter: ( 7th letter in chain )

Hi my love John, 
I am very happy to read your letter, as always. Thank you so much for your nice letter! Well, I looked for visa one else yesterday and to me it is necessary to pay 45 dollars for the visa and 20 dollars registration I went to embassy and at me was 50 dollars in hands, I have told them, that I have 50 dollars and they have told well, give 50 dollars. And me have started registration. They started to make the visa for me. I so have understood that for the visa of this money will suffice, because to me so have told. But today I went there and to me have told, that to me gave the visa that it to finish registration urgently it is necessary to bring all those documents, i.e. pass inspection in hospital X-ray and it to cost 100 dollars and more and more registration and made many documents, foreign passport, i.e. all these will cost 350 dollars US. You understand? I have told, and it is possible later I give them these money, because I do not have not enough money to receive all these documents, at me at once have shouted, have scolded and have told, that for you then have begun to make the visa if you do not have not enough money, but I speak, that the visa costs 45 dollars and registration 20, but to me have not explained at once to receive the visa, is necessary that were applied all necessary documents, I has certainly apologized, and has told, that I shall bring soon, one of these days. To me have told, that they may wait about 5 days and if I shall not bring the necessary documents they will stop to make the visa to me. And it is even worse, that if I not shall have time, to me have told that may not make to me the visa more, they will take offence at me, for my acts. But I promised, that I shall make all correctly and to me have believed. Therefore I very much ask you, try to borrow from somebody money if you now do not have it, at the friends for example. Because to me now in such situation the help nobody may, I searched already, but not any successes. Therefore I hope only for you, you one to me may the help. Because I believe in you, and in both of us, that all at us will be Ok! And I hope, that all will be good. I know it. I ask you to send this money to me as soon as possible. Please send to me 300 dollars in these 5 days. Ok? It's very important. I wait! And visa was finally done in 2 weeks or faster and will be good for three month. So, I want to tell that the money better to send by the bank system called Western Union. This system is very reliable also transferring money is carried out during minutes. By the way you must send the money on my passport data. Here is my data:

Maria Saleeva (Chelyabinsk, Russia) 

I'm a single man who is 34 years old, never married and have relatives in  Sweden and Norway. I was looking for a woman in Russia or the Ukraine because I have heard that they are very good women from my relatives in Scandinavia. My first letter from her was the 30th of January and we are still actively e-mailing each other so she doesn't know that I'm on to her. I noticed on page 71 (please check that page) different addresses are used. So there may be more than a couple people scamming out there with her pictures.  I didn't find out until now that there were black lists and I may be reporting on another lady soon.

Maria Saliva (Khabarovsk, Russia)

I am a 46 year old man from the USA.  This is the third scammer that has contacted me this year.  I am getting smarter about identifying them now.  From the very beginning I knew this lady was a scammer. First she contacted me from my profile on Friend Finders...same as the other scammers.  Her email address was similar masha20021@pochtamt.ru the pochtamt.ru is used my many of the scammers on your list. She fell in love with me by the third letter and was asking for money on the fourth.  Of course she asked that I send the money by Western Union like all the other scammers.  I played along but this time I sent her four identical copied or pasted letters I had sent my mother and the photos I attached were of my dog!  Never once did she comment on the letters or photos...of course not she never reads the letters or opens the attachments. I will not bore you with any more details because they are the similar or the same as the others.  I will paste the first and money letter along with some photos.  I hope she enjoys my dog photos because that is all she got from me.

Marina Svetlova (Murmansk, Russia)

I'm very glad to finally find you list. I was scammed by Marina Svetlova of Murmansk, Russia. This happened around Aug 2001 to Oct 2001. I actually sent her money several times. It was a little rewarding to see her pictures and letters she sent to others was the same as some of that she sent to me. I actually received about 60 letters from her. She was to fly to me 2 times. I went to airport - no Marina. Thank you for your services. Maybe some other honest hard working guys won't get ripped off. 
Her e-mail address at that time was
Marinochka_200@rambler.ru

I have since destroyed all pictures and letters because I felt pretty stupid.

Olga Yureva (Kazan, Russia)
AKA Zinaida Petrova, Elena Votrina, Elena Volodina

Address: 
street of Gorkogo 24-6 
city of Kazan, 
Russia,4240024

Her latest email address is: olga_ur@mailru.com

I am a single white American male 45 years old, who thanks to your site was  saved a lot of money and heartache. I originally was contacted by www.matchclick.com on 1/20/02 about a match from their service.

From email #7: 

But before our occurring it - there are a lot of  difficulties. I have the girlfriend, which one work in transport agency. She(it) has told me, that in USA the visa, which one lasts within 3 months there are 350 bucks. It is very expensive for me. I do(make) my grant 60 bucks per one month.

From email #9: 

I talked to my girlfriend from travel agency. She speaks that visa B-2 is necessary for me. The visa is registered 2 weeks and operates 3 months then. It to cost 350 dollars. Tickets to cost 1200 dollars there and back. It is very many money. Unfortunately I have no such money. If you may help me with money to speed up our meeting, you may send money through Western Union. The address of bank:
AK BARS Bank
1 Dekabristov street
Kazan 420066 RUSSIA.
Olga Yureva
.

Money was only requested in these two emails. After finding your site 2 days ago, and praying to God that what I found was not true, I contacted MatchClick.com one hour ago with what I had learned. I will inform you of the outcome on their part when I am contacted by them. I have included a copy of the email below:

Dear Sirs:
I recieved an email on 1/20/02 from your site about a possible match with a girl that uses the name russiangirl. Her name is Olga and we have corresponded heavily since then, with plans on meeting in the future. I know this is sounding like a "true love found" letter, but let me assure you that it is not. The saga took a severe left turn about 3 days ago when I discovered a website discussing Russian girls scamming men for money for non-existent plane tickets and visas. That website is http://www.womenrussia.com/blacklist_summary.htm
I believe that she is one of those listed on that website, because a picture that she sent me is listed under three different names on that website. Those three names are:
Zinaida Petrova
Elena Votrina
Elena Volodina
The name she used with me was Olga Yureva. 

And to make matters worse, the letters on that website all sound eerily familiar to the ones I have recieved. I have copies of all 15 emails she has sent me, along with all of the photos she has sent. She suddenly changed her email address 2 days ago to olga_ur@mailru.com. 
Her old email address was 
olga555@pochtamt.ru.
I hope that this is coincidence, but I fear I am wrong.

 I hope this email 
saves the next person from certain heartache and possible financial ruin.

Olga Yurieva (Kazan, Russia) - 2

I'm a single dad of 1 daughter, living in Australia. I was contacted by this person "Olga Yurieva" through the Freindfinder website.

I have seen most of the letters she has sent me on your website, and her photos also. When it came time to "give money for a visa" I decided it was time to do some checking, and luckly I found this website! She is also listed under these names on your website; Anna Garanina Vladimirovna / Natasha Kuvshinova / Elena (Kazan Russia) I wont bother copying the emails as most of them are already listed on the website.
I'll attach only a single photo as you have them all too!!
Thank goodness for this website!!

Update on possible information on the whereabouts of this person for those who have been scammed
Upon checking the details of the emails this person sent to me I have found this:

Received: from mpool.relinfo.ru ([195.161.208.129]) by
mx01.******.com.au with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.4617);
Tue, 26 Feb 2002 22:44:24 +1100
Received: from andron (47.dialup.mari-el.ru [195.161.214.47])
by mpool.relinfo.ru (X.X.X/X.X.X) with ESMTP id OAA23500

When I checked dialup.mari-el.ru I used www.mari-el.ru and I found that this is a Russian Internet service provider, providing dial up accounts.

This information will be of value to those who are forwarding complaints to the FBI, and will provide a possible trace to the person who is sending these emails.

This person obviously has an internet account with this company. Everything is traceable on the internet now days, all you have to do is contact the company, and match the times the emails was sent, with the company's log of who was accessing the free email account in question, in my case it was pochtamt.ru They can match the IP address used to access that website, with the time, and then you have the dialup account used to take your money !!
With that a name and address can be retrieved from the dialup company in Russia and the FBI can go to work.

Thanks for helping us all out.
Nik.
