Demidov, Denis - Cheboksary, Russia

Phone: no phone
Address: Apt 138Kadykova Street, 36

Details: A  23 year-old male living with parents, recently graduated from "Pedagogical Institute". After corresponding for a month, with not particularly good English and little questions answered or information given, asks for help with "visa" money to emigrate or visit you. Letters tend to be almost surrealistically romantic and make little rational sense. Asks for 350 dollars for visa costs, etc. via Western Union. Also sent one photo of city (Cheboksary) and four photos of "his pet fish".  Yes! This happens to innocent, if gullible guys looking for guys too! By the same perpetrators (it seems)!

answering many questions.  She says she taught a psychology class at the Tomsk Polytchnical University.  After 2 weeks, she told me she had a month long vacation in just 3 weeks and wanted to see me, asking for visa/airfare. I looked into a flight and reserved one, but she insisted it had to be done through an agency that was affiliated with her school.  We went back and forth over and I became more suspicious.  She even called and left a message, saying "we need to talk".  I demanded she send me a copy of her passport and I immediately thought she didn't look like the original photos I had of her.  Also, the seal on the passport is not embossed. There were 3 names and addresses she asked me to send money to.

Deruybina, Anna - Kolgaym City, Russia

Agency: true.com

Details: I was contacted like many oterhs and we had a 3 month email exchange, during which shew asked for nothing (Which I don't understand). About halfway through, I told her I found her pictures on a Scammer Web Site ans she told mw that her pictures wer solen and used for no good. I forgave her and we maintained the email exchange. Then a bout two weeks a go I got an email from greenfeelings@bk.ru. It was word for word, the same text as the first. I sent "Anna" the copy of the new email and told her if I got another I would send that too. I did, and haven't heard from her since. Seems to me, that it is like a busininess. Someone should try to stop it. 
I will attach the text of the 2 letters and all the photos, including #2 woman. The letter is the same, Only the name changed from Anna to Marina.

Donika, Anna – Kostroma, Russia aka Romaschova, Alexandra aka Osipova/Zhirova, Anastasiya aka Vasilyeva, Margarita

Postal address: Azina 13-5
E-mail addresses: sunygala34@yahoo.com, until I wrote once. Then reply and all subsequent letters from sunygala34@yandex.ru
Agency: Match.com

Details: She contacted me thru Match.com on April 23, 2006. Profile said she was from Flushing, New York. Profile would not load up. I tried an email thru Match.com and it didn't go thru. Next day, tried an email direct from my hotmail bow. This initiated the series of letters. She has changed her story somewhat: She is a Dentist now, who only earns 300 USD/month. Wants marriage/family. Madly and dizzily in love after 4 or five letters, and champing at the bit to come see me on her 35th birthday, May 15, 2006. Had travel agency: Lando Travel Agency (landotravel@narod.ru) send an itemized cost estimate and directions for paying total cost of 990 USD.

Due to her fetching pictures and implied nookie rewards, I began to consider her offer, but kept insisting she give me some proof of who she was. She would reply without addressing my questions. I finally on May 2, sent her a clearly expressed letter demanding proof, such as a picture of her holding a print-out of one of the pictures I just sent her, or I would stop writing. She replied to this immediately, saying that she couldn't wait to get the ticket over here, and would answer all my questions after she got back from an unexpected business trip that her boss was sending her on that very morning!!! What timing! That's only been 2 days ago, and I don't expect to hear from her again. If I do, I plan to have a little fun with her as creatively as I can, until she catches on that I know about her.

Details from another scam: Few e-mails then asked for tickets and visa and pass book to come to USA in two weeks to celebrate her birthday together.
