Feedback


I'd like to thank you for the quality of information contained on your website; your direct and candid discussion of issues and perceptions
was a welcome change from the plethora of sales pitches otherwise available.

Also, I just recently purchased your Anti-Scam guide (about a week ago) and found it to be very enlightening and helpful.  Easily worth the small price you charge, and you have my gratitude for providing it.  Given that my efforts are still in the exploratory phase, I can count myself lucky to have found you when I did.

Olya Artemieva (Yoshkar-Ola, Russia)

Street Mira, house 33, apartment 10
I am a single 53 year old man in the US. I have profiles on many internet dating sites - I have dated a few women from them, nothing has "clicked" yet, but hope springs eternal...I was contacted from a profile on Friend Finder February 18th. This was interesting to me because there was no information about me on that site - I had just joined to look at a profile on that site. A couple years back I was approached by an agency that had letters from a woman for me, but wanted me to pay to receive them, so I was skeptical from the start. It turns out that little miss Olya has at least three profiles on Friend Finder: Hippi12345, pipiskya, and one other that has now been removed. None of the profiles have photos.

Here's the first letter: February 18, 2002

Kind day. My name Olya, me 27 years. I live in Russia. I want to have with you acquaintance and to create the serious attitudes. I to want shortly to get the family. I very much to want, what I to find the love with you and to create happy family. I am adjusted very seriously to create the family, I to think that you as is adjusted seriously. I tried to find the love at myself in Russia, but at me it to fail. Because I want to find the adult and serious man with serious intentions. But the men adjusted not seriously came across me, they to want only sex. And I to not want to be engaged sex with the not favourite man. On this we did not have serious attitudes. I to want to try to find with you our love and to create happy family. If you to want to have with me the serious attitudes, I to wait for the letter on my new letter box GirlOlya2002@yandex.ru . 
The best regards,
 Olya.

After my reply, when I asked what a beautiful young woman like her wanted with a poor old fat man with me she replied:

your Olya

Uh oh, now I'm in love, how will I get her over here to visit me? She suggests that I send her the money via Western Union, but I tell her that I can make a bank transfer directly to the agency, all I need is their phone number, or email, or web site. I'm a little nervous that she hasn't used my name since the first letter, but maybe that is a cultural thing? I suggested an agency that I found on the internet, but she tells me that they are deceitful.

Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2002

Hi my love I want to tell that "Virginia" this bad agency at Us in city in the newspapers write that it deceives the people. I do not want that You were deceived. 
Whole yours Olya.

See! She loves me and dosen't want me to be deceived! I have received this letter twice now - verbatim:

Letter

Hi my apple! 
I am very glad, that you as to think of me, my love. I as to do it and to think of our speed meeting. I want to tell you, that I love you! I it to understand for these days when I could not write to you and read your letters. These days lasted boringly and long without you, my prince. I very much missed without you, my love. I want to speak about money which you to want to send me that I could prepare our meeting. I to think, that now you all is good is to understood, by my love. And I to think, that soon you can do translation, what I to begin to prepare our personal meeting. Which we so long to wait and then I is sure on 100 % that we can to find soon our love. And you will understand, that your heart you to not deceive, my love!!! I to think, that you to want it, my love. A kiss and love, 
yours Olya.

It is so sad that the language barrier prevents her from answering the questions I ask her, I keep asking for more photos, I am kinda jealous that her other men get them. Oh well, it makes for a plesant diversion, and the more time she spends on playing cat & mouse with me the less time she has to spend scamming some other guy. I did find a seemingly nice lady closer to my own age at what I hope is a reliable agency - so as usual all things work out for the best - but it takes time. Please keep that in mind, and don't send money directly to any of these scammers.

Riva  (Kherson, Ukraine)

My name is Dave and I live in the U.S. I am 27 and was looking initially for a pen pal to practice my Italian. I have found this scammer in your black list and was skeptical from day one after I got an e-mail from Riva. This prompted me to look into the whole Russian women thing and I found your site. I found her in Match.com. Next thing I know I get my 1st e-mail explaining she was from Ukraine and how poor and corrupt it is. Others have mentioned the same in the black list. I have not been asked for money yet but her letter style is building up for that. i.e. not enough money for now to use internet. I will write shortly etc. She never has answered any of my questions but does somewhat tie her e-mail correspondence to what I ask. Could easily be masked in the language barrier. She e-mailed the next day every time up until recently. Has not given me a last name, postal address, or even her height when asked to several times. I am going to play with this a bit just to see if I get the letter asking for monies. Then I will send her an e-mail letting her know she is uncovered. That will be fun in itself. 
Thanks for the great site and info.
Dave


Svetlana Gausheva (Saransk, Russia)

I am a single male living in the US and first contacted Svetlana through Friendfinder. Her letters are almost comical! She claims to be a poor virgin girl who needs money to help pay for her tuition as she is going to medical school. She is a definite scammer and should be listed on your blacklist. Her letters and photos are in the forwarded attachments. She certainly dresses very provocativly for a virgin! Here is the information that I have on her so far: Svetlana Gausheva

Tania (tnn2002@krovatka.net)

The photo below is from the existing report on Yulia Solovyova (Serov, Russia)

Back in November someone calling herself "Tania" (tnn2002@krovatka.net) initiated contact with me (I believe it was in response to my ad at friendfinders.com), using the same picture. Her command of English far below that of the letters from "Yulia" - Very tedious and difficult to read. Unfortunately, I didn't save the initial email or two, but I seem to remember her being from the south, near the Black Sea - not Serov. By the second or third email I was getting the same lines as Yulia uses - comments about knitting, cooking, her troubles with the internet cafe, and her parents tragic death. Before I had really said anything substantive about myself, she was alternating between professing her deep, undying love for me, and laying out a bad soap opera plot about how her entire extended family has been visited by tragedy in the past couple years... 

I figured either she was lining me up for a scam or was simply the most depressing individual I'd ever encountered. In either event, I opted to just stop corresponding with her, so she never actually hit me up for any $$$.

She still pops up in my inbox every few weeks - true to form, a couple weeks ago she was describing how she'd been out of touch because she became deathly ill and was in the hospital for a couple weeks. This morning I got one telling me how I'm her reason "beam of light" and "reason for living" even though it's been 3 months since I've responded to her. Totally whacked, I tell you!

Tatyana Lebedeva (Chita, Russia)

I am a male who lives in the USA and I would like to report a scammer - Tatyana Lebedeva who is a 27, supposedly works in a library in Chita, Russia. She is the typical run of the mill, garden variety scammer. She first contacted me through friendfinder under the profile of tanya1480 which made me suspicious immediately. She fell in love with me after a few e-mails and wants to visit me and to send her money for airline tickets and a visa. Please add her to your blacklist " wall of shame for scammers" . 
Sincerely,
S. H. (Scam Hunter)

My dearest Jerry!
I am so happy that you wait for me and the fact of seeing you soon makes me crazy. Dear Jerry, I have to confess that I have no many pictures of myself. I will send you tomorrow a picture of mine which was taken with my group at University in autumn and I will look if I have some pictures of my family. The matter is that all our family pictures are in a village with my grandparents. They had a family reunion on their anniversary, they lived together 50 years and we celebrated it there. We also had a big program of looking the old pictures with all the family members and remembering all what happened. You know such reunions, and we left all the albums there because my grandparents miss us a lot. Actually I do not take my pictures often, I took the pictures you have to publish them in the agency. I feel bad that I cannot send the pictures to you at the moment. My parents are going to visit my grandparents in a month or so because of my grandmother birthday (they live in another region, that is why we cannot visit them often) and I asked them to take all the pictures. Is that ok? I hope you will understand this. You know, today the manager asked me to bring my passports. I will do it tomorrow, does this mean he agreed to help us? You will be laughing when you see my passports, they both were made about 6 years ago, I was only 18 years old! I made the two passports together and I do not know why I did this, maybe I felt I will go someday abroad? Isn't it funny? I have international passport for 6 years and I have never used it. Now I will have a chance with you! At least I have no this problem of doing it now, I have everything I need. But when I was 18 I was at the beginning of the way to grownup life and I was alone of my friends who made international passport, I was very proud of it, the whole history is connected with it! Dear Jerry, I will  close for now, tell me what kinds of sports will be presented in Sault Lake City! Where will we live? My parents asked me this. I send you a million of my kisses, take care and write soon!!! 
YourTanya with love.
