Scammer Akulova Olesya

She wanted to come to see the USA, so I agreed to help her with the finances and sent her $1100. Then she wanted me to send her an additional $1500 for "pocket money" to show customs so they would let her come here. I told her I didn't have that kind of money, and would she please return the $1100 I had already sent her. She has never responded to my letters since.

This scammer scammed me out of $1100 to buy a ticket to come to the USA. She never came, but she did come up with yet another scam: She said she needed another $1500 to show to customs that she had enough "pocket money" to come here. Without that she said they would not let her come. And she has never returned my $1100.

Enclosed please find the photos and the letters she sent me asking for money, then for more money. At first she asked for something like $950, so I sent her $1100, which was all I had. Then she asked for another $1500 to show to customs as "pocket money" to prove that she had enough to come to the USA. That is a total scam, and I think she knew it.

The following are some of the letters she sent me asking for money.


Hello, my love xxx!

I to read your letters. At the airport I have changed my tickets to

fly up to Knoxville on May, 16. I to not understand about what your

wife speaks. I never lied to you and I shall not do it, I swear to

I have very well reached Moscow. Cost of hotel very

expensive, I have decided to rent a room closer to embassy. The room

will cost to me of $55 day, but the mistress has taken from me an

advance payment at once for 10 days. I did not expect that I shall

spend many money to residing here. I have already spread out all my

things and have had time to go in embassy. In embassy of me have met

well, I have filled in the questionnaire. As before embassy I have met

the girl which too wanted to go to America to the guy. She informed

about it in embassy and her have not let out from Russia and did not

give the visa. They to her have explained it to those that they do not

want emigrants and that there is a high probability that this girl

simply wants to leave for America, to marry and remain there. I

considered it and informed them that I go to America as the tourist.

And me has carried, me have written down on registration of the visa.

I have given to them necessary documents, but I still should collect

some information here. To me have told that process will occupy

approximately 14 days. But to me informed that I should give to them

return tickets that they were sure that I am capable to leave for

America and to return back. I at once have gone to the airport to

learn about cost of tickets from Moscow up to You. I have learned that

tickets will cost 1220$. I have been very much upset, I could not buy

tickets as I did not have not enough money to purchase of tickets. I

hastened to make all faster and have not calculated the means. I

thought that I shall keep within in $1500, but it appeared a little. I

have already spent charges for the visa and trips to Moscow of $450,

and still it is necessary to pay residing of $550 then for four days

of residing and I still should eat. It is a pity to me, but I do not

have not enough now $920 to buy tickets not worry that I can to pay

for an apartment for the staying 4 days and can eat all this time to

not starve. Now nobody can help me except for you. Lovely xxx, I of

you very much to ask to help me today. I need in this money to collect

the necessary sum and to buy tickets. It is necessary for making as

soon as possible, I cannot detain embassy, I promised them that I

shall show tickets tomorrow. If I shall not make it to me will not do

the visa and more never will let to America. I expect for your help.

Dear Frank, if I cannot arrive to you I shall lose all in my life and

I shall never trust men more. I to think, that when I shall arrive to

you we with you we shall forget all bad, that was. I had to pass

through many difficulties to move ahead to a meeting with you. I

thought as you much can help me with this money, in fact we so far

apart. In embassy to me have told, that the best way to send the money

- western Union. To me have told, that it is very fast and reliable.

To me have told, that it works all over the world. To receive money, I

should know your full name, your address and 10 figures Money Transfer

Control Number (MTCN). I think, that it will be the best for us.

Please, understand my difficult situation and help me that we have

met. I to think, that you to understand all my situation now, as you

the good person.
