I had a profile posted on an American dating web site and a female from my area answered me.
Her letter was a few lines long, in good English and she seemed honest and cute, so I replied.
The letter said she had a read-only trial account and would not be able to receive messages,
so she included a yahoo email address. She asked me to write to this yahoo email address.
I did this and a few days later her trial account was gone, she explained that she deleted
it because she found me. (that is what she answered, when I asked her about it)
This girl claimed to live in Kazan, Tartastan, 26 years old and called herself Barbi.
There was something suspicious about her letters, in particular I always had the
impression that she did not really read mine every time. Sometimes she wrote
personal, matching replies, then sometimes not. her photos of which she sent
about 25 so far, had number like 5.jpg, 6.jpg, 35.jpg etc.
Yesterday I did a query for some phrases of some of her emails and found them
posted on 2 other web sites. Apparently she wrote identical letters to other guys
using different names and different pictures. She or he asked those guys for money,
supposedly for tickets or visa paperwork. I guess I am lucky that she never asked
me for any money. However, I felt fooled when I saw "my" emails had also been
sent in parts to other guys.
For that reason I will post her here letters. I know that parts of these letters
have been posted on 2 other sites, but not all.
I include the full headers in the first email. The sender comes from a russian
dial-up but in another email I sent her a URL to one of my web sites and apparantly
"she" uses some sort of satellite DSL for the downstream, the IP number was
84.xx (to be filled in later).

necessary, that around of me there was a cleanliness and the order, I
frequently am engaged cleaning. Also to me to like to prepare for a

relations. But frequently such things come to an end Very quickly. I
have no intention to spend myself on such acquaintances. While I have
not met In the life of such person to which I would decide to give
myself and the life. But me it would be desirable to find such person.

Check this web site for Tatyana (Tatiana) Marasanova profile:
Tatyana Marasanova is often using a mailaddress from nershack.com. She seems an accomplice of the bogus travel agency Rus Travel. About two weeks ago I got a letter from natushka79@nerdshack.com who wanted to correspond and reacted on my address that was left on a tickle site some time ago. I never looked at it or did something with it, after a test on tickle. Anyway it was lonely girl Tatyana, she wanted a nice guy and she did send me lovely pictures, loads of pictures. Her english was not very good for a university graduate. I googled the email-address but found no references at the beginning although i had a vague feeling this can't be right.
But it was very convincing what they, even when my mind kept telling me: this can't be real, you're mistaking, this is deception. Well you don't want to believe a beautiful girl is lying to you. We man are egotists. :-)
But it was extremely cunning the ploy, I must say. I kept it going for a week this correspondence and then finally struck a site with her pictures, saying this is definitely a scammer. I must admit she is a great artist, (or he is) and knows her/his way with words. I have learned more about myself this way. :-)
The provider was a satellite internet company (the header read: mail received from glavnu (am1-nat-136-11.planetsky.com [82.211.136.11]). The person was on your list and identified as Tatyana Marasanova of Zelenedolsk.
The puzzle seems to fall together for a Marasanova is connected to Rus Travel in Zelenedolsk. Rus travels managers are Andrey Alexandrovich & Anna Marasanova; Nikolay Stadnik & Sergey Uljanov & Tatyana Abaimova. Tatyana Marasanova has used the names Tanja and Lyuba; she has been registered under different scamming names and always using nerdshack mailaddresses. She seems to prefer registration as a citizen of Alaska, Jumeau. Guys watch out.
Don't know if this will help about this Olga above...
The info I got for this one is 'Olga Ojhiganova, Metal120781@yahoo.com, Russia Kazan Uritskogo St. 12apt.38' Black listed in www.roses.ru/blacklist-st2.shtml, www.russianflowershop.com/blacklist-st2.shtml and fr.roses.ru/blacklist-st2.shtml.
I also found this scam @ http://agencyscams...ahtina.htm but it is nothing close to the picture above. Maybe you want to post a few more pictures and then someone might come across the same picture(s). Good Luck!

Has anyone received a letter from a Russin woman claiming to already be in the States? This may be a new angle since they realize many men won't pay for them to come to the US. I'm following this rabbit as far as it takes to see how what may be a new trend in scams is working. Her name is Julia and I'm attaching a photo. Has anyone ever noticed that NONE of these women are a least bit unattractive? They are all hot. I guess the poor homely girls aren't allowed to find 'love' with Americans. The person writing me claims to live in SF, CA and work's in some Children's Center somewhere. I can't seem to get the name of it but she does mention sending me here cell number as we get 'closer.'

I have also been conversing with Irina, superbaby@gawab.com and she will eventually ask you for travel money to be delivered by Western Union. However, I am not totally convinced she is a scammer yet. Anyone else have any information on this woman?
