Paraskeva, Olesya – Zelenodolsk, Russia

Phone: 7-836-223-4249
Website: MySpace.com

Details: I had been on myspace for only a few weeks and really only was checking it out for a friend. I received a notice from myspace addressed to my personal email address that I had a new message. I thought that was odd. When I went to my profile I looked at the message and saw that it was a girl named Olesya. (all of the email are attached) I was very intrigued and decided that it would be real cool to get to know a gal from another country, strictly as pen pals. I had a girl friend at the time and did not think anything of it. As you can see from the emails I stated to her several times in my own emails that I wasn’t interested in a serious relationship, Her responses really did not make sense to me at times, they did not address any of the issues that I had previously talked about. I thought that she only was ignorant of English. There were some things that she did address but they were minor. Most of the time she simply thought it was great that someone would take the time to write to her. After about a month I had a break up with my girlfriend and I let Olesya know about it and I had asked her she would be interested in something more (BIG MISTAKE) The very next email she jumped at the opportunity to turn on the charm and extreme amount of love. Again I thought that she was only interested in coming to America to get citizenship. It started to get more intense all the time and I started to think she was serious and I liked the idea of having a dedicated life partner. She had told me not to use that email address anymore and gave me a different one. (They are all in the attachments)She asked me for some money and said that once I told her that I was interested in being more than friends that she went to the agency right away and found that it would cost $1270.00 for air fare, visa, insurance, and physical. She said that she could find $400.00 and that we had to hurry as it was getting close to tourist season and the agency would charge more. After I agreed she called me after a couple days at 3:30 in the morning my time (Pacific Standard Time) I got excited and like an idiot sent her $870.00. Via Western Union. The next email stated that she was very thankful and then she asked for $250.00 because the price increased. I sent it Western Union. She then waited a week and we talked back and forth via email. She did leave a message on my voice mail while I was at work. (I still have this recorded.) She said that she cant wait to see me and She loved me and was going crazy over me. and wanted more money because this time she needed to have a minimum of 400-500 in her account before she could enter the U.S. After I sent it she emailed me back and said that she could not retrieve it from Western Union this time because the agency had her passport so she instructed me to switch the name of the addressee to her friend Ekaterina Yambaeva. I did it and all was good. At this point I didn’t here anything for a while, 4 days or so and I get a letter from her friend saying that she got in a terrible car accident in Moscow. She needed surgery and was at the point of death. I receive one more email from her friend saying that she couldn’t answer my questions and that she had to go to her. It has been a week now and I have heard nothing. I did some investigating of my own and am shocked to see how much of this is going on. Truthfully what I would really like to do is go to Zelenodolsk and personally get my money back. If there is anything I can do further I will be more than glad to assist.

Pavlova, Natalia – Ukhta, Russia 

Email: natik77@pisem.net

Details: First wrote to me on September 18, 2005. Very clever and patient approach to scam. Wrote me 2 to 3 times a week for 3 months before she ever requested money, and send dozens of pictures during that time. Usual sad story: only undesireable men in Russia, father dead, and dead-end job making $120 per month. Also answered my questions in detail by cutting and pasting my questions and placing her answers underneath. Moreover, she used an online translator and claimed she could not speak or write English, so this also helped convince me. I sent her $280 for visa in early February at her request. The she kept asking me for money to buy a plane ticket. I said I would send it in May for her to visit in June. I would not. She kept insisting she visit me as soon as possible. Then she wrote and asked for $500 because she and her mother were being evicted from their apartment. When I kept writing that she’d have to wait until late May for the ticket, she apparently gave up. Last wrote to me on April 12, 2006. Wish I had known about these scams earlier. This one is a good scammer.

Pavlovna Ivanova Kristina – Kazan, Russia

Email: Kristinamasiya@gmail.com

Details: More than four months ago Kristina contacted me and we became friends, she was working and we had up to 3 messages per day, lots of photos, no suggestive or sexy photos sent. I told her what my financial situation is and it did not seem to matter that I had no money. Then allegedly she lost her job and only once I suggested something related to money, shortly before the end of April. I am angry because a lot of time passed and no response from her. When she responded, I spoke to her about scammers and then she disappeared forever.

Petrekeeva Arina – Tomsk, Russia

Email: arinaptrekeeva@yahoo.com

Details: I am a 51 y/o working class American, divorced with 3 children all adults. I was invited by a friend to a dating site called Badoo. Arina is not a known scammer as far as your sight, since i couldn’t find her. As soon as I received the first e-mail she dissapeared from Badoo. She asked me to contact her on her e-mail arinaptrekeeva@yahoo.com. Her first contact was on 1/26/2011 and the last contact up till now was today 2/15/2011. Her request for money appears on the 10th e-mail. Although I had gone to the post office the day before and had sent her a present. Today after her last e-mail I felt very bad because i had told her I didn’t have the money. When I went to the Western Union site I first tried to find the address to have the money arrive at her closest location, since she doesn’t have a car. It was then that I found your site and the black list report on page #565. I was shocked when I saw that the same story was portrayed and the addresses were so close. Thank you for this valuable information and I am sending mine so that you can confirm it and help others. I am sending the copies of the letters for confirmation

Agency: gay.ru Yahoo Messenger ID: alexandr_hadjarov
ICQ Number: 233-226-531
ICQ Nickname: alex8310

Details: Was contacted on gay.ru. Gave a sad story how his parents were alcoholics in the Ukraine and he left them both and went to Russia when he was still a teenager (Claims he is 22 now.) Shows picture claiming he is at work — clamined he had the same profession as myself. Then in later correspondence after noticing a wedding ring on his finger in a picture, when questioned on this he said oh yes he is married but she lives in another part of the city with a different guy. Married her for a job. Now claims he has no job, and when asked about his continued inquiries about wanting to come to the U.S., what his wife would think “says I asked her and she is ok with it”. 

Continued to put off saying I would provide money for plane tickets/visa. Then received another sad story email about health problems. Has chronic ear problems, but no money to go to the hospital. Needed this right away. Did not respond. Now received an instant message on Yahoo Messenger addressed to “Oleg” about money problems and can he help (sent it to the wrong person by accident). Then I got another sad story about money problems and that he has to sell his computer to pay for bills, requesting help and a possible loan.

Typical tickets & visa scam. When that does not work, tries any other sad story to get you to send him money. Stories do not add up or match.
