I am a member of americansingles.com and only a few hours after I subscribed to the site I got an e-mail from a young woman without a picture from layfette, La. She later introduced herself as Elena Speranskaja of russia(ITS THE SAME WOMAN NAMED DINA HAFIZOVA THAT IS ON YOUR SCAMMERS LIST). She was convincing, commented on how beautiful my kids were..It was my first experience with this type of predator..I learned she was a scammer on (womenrussia.com/blacklist) I found a identical letter(including the fact that her parents were killed in a bus crash when she was younger)I saved the letter (which was written either by another scammer or by herself under another name and picture)and wrote her back telling her to stop scamming people and earn a honest living and that Karma was a bitch, told her to give it up and I attached the fake letter that matched hers identically to my e-mail and I haven't heard from her since...oh yea she said she was from "Branchatskiy village in the Kemerovskaya region" which either doesn't exist or is hard to locate..

Hello,hello,hello, thank you for the reply!(so short one)
I am so happy that you have decided to write me. I will try to explain
why I
want to continue our
writing , please forgive my "not perfect" English.
you should know that it is my first time I try to correspondence with a
man
in virtual space.
I want to explain why I do it. I live in Russia and I am going to work
abroad for three months or so and I would like to meet a nice man
to be my guide and be very good and close friend to spend free evenings
with.I think that it is hard enough
to live in foreign town without friend and I have never been
abroad. I don't know anybody in your country and I think we could have
a lot
of fun together because I think I need hot man, males here are too cold
and
usually too drunk to have fun .....you should know I live in small town
here
in Russia, I am afraid to be
lost in some foreign city. I will work in shop or in cafe. I will know
exactly later I have to test my English first and
my future job depends on how good it is. It is the programm "Work and
travel" is avialable for students ,firm the Star travel
(www.startravel.ru)
colects all the documents to confirm that
I am student. I will get J -1 visa and I get "Job Offer". This gives me
a
choice to get job in cafes or shops in any city of USA or Canada.
The agency helps to get the visa,work permission and all travel
documents
and they will
help me to get job. I will have place to live(rent room) and enough
good
salary they tell that I will earn good money .
I think it is so great because I can earn here in my town about 100$ a
month
as waitress to work from morning till evening.
It is special programm for young people who wants to work abroad and I
think
it is the right
way for me, and I think that I will be able to change my life and see
many
wonderful things and just see different life.
I am full of plans and different dreams. You should know that I have
real
dark brown hair
and brown eyes. I am sure that you will be not disappoined to meet me
in
the real life if we meet.
Well, I will close this letter and I do hope to get your reply.
Maybe my letter sounds a little crazy but I am not sure I know what to
say
in first letter .I just want to meet good, kind and sexy man .
I will leave my town in a week or so to travel to moscow to complete
all
travel things and I will travel from moscow to my future job.
I will work all day and I think we could share evenings together to
get to
know each other better. If you have any interest to meet me I will
reply.
I just don't want to be alone in the evenings and at nights, and I
would
like to be sure
in advance that somebody waits for me! It is just a woman wish!
I will tell you all details about me and my life if you have an
interest to
meet me and free time to spend with me, I know that usually the men are
very
busy and I don't want to bother you if you prefer to work a lot. So
many
barriers on this way.
With best regards...
Elena ( this is the right writing of my name in English)
PS I Send a few pictures. I think you should know how I look li

Hello Matt!!! Thank you for your reply. I was very glad to see your
reply in
my inbox mail. Thank you for the wonderful pics of your kids, I liked
them!
They are so sweet... just like their father!
That would be right if I tell you more about me and my life because we
have
a chance to meet in real life
and thus we need to get to know each other better and you please also
tell
me more about yourself, ok?
I am just a simple and ordinary girl with my own interests, hobbies and
tastes.
I guess I will start from telling you about things which
also want to know from you, so you'll see my questions.
As you know my name is Elena and my last name is Speranskaja.
I am 26 years old and on 5 March I will be 27. I am about 168 cm tall
and my
weight is about 53kg.
My body sizes are 96-62-91cm. I have brown hair and dark green eyes
which you can see from my photos. I also attached a photo of me and my
niece.
I know that many women abroad have possibility to improve their bodies
and
faces
and they look so beautiful. Unfortunately it is impossible here in
Russia
because even though
we live in Russia, this country is still far from civilization.
But I still think that natural beauty is far better.
I live with my aunt, uncle and niece because I don't have parents (
they
died long ago in a bus crush).
Unfortunately we live in a two-room small appartment and it is not very
comfortable and not convenient. Honestly there is nothing good in the
fact
that I was
born and live in a small town of Russia.
There is no chance for a good living and it is very hard to fnd a job
here.
All young people leave towns and go to big cities searching for work
but
unfortunately there is also
no luck for them in big cities since nobody is waiting for them there.
Living in Russia is living "all by myself". It is a good but cruel
school of
life.
I don't smoke and drink socially, my preference in alcohol is red wine,
but only a glass or maybe two. I tried to smoke when I was younger.
Silly
me!
But I think almost everybody try to smoke when you are a 13 years old,
right?
I try to take care of my body and face as much as it is possible. I
wasn't
born yesterday and
I know that almost all "men love women by their eyes", I mean this or
that
way woman's
appearence is very important for a man.
Speaking about my trip. I will come to your country this month but I
don't
know when exactly,
I know that I will have all documents to travel soon and I will travel
to
Moscow later this week
again to complete all travel preparations.
I will get a visa and buy a ticket and then fly to your country. I even
don't know where exactly
I am flying because I haven't decided yet. I can choose almost any city
to
stay that
is why I need to know the name of the nearest international airport to
you.
I just want to have somebody waiting for me at the airport and not to
be
alone there.
I will fly to your airport right from Moscow and I hope you will want
to
meet me at the airport and
be my guide and besides it would be great to meet with you face to face
and
spend some time together.
I know that it is not an easy thing as it might seem but there is
nothing
impossible, right?
I will be more then glad to know that you understand me and my thoughts
and
you are
with me in this question, but if not, then please tell me that you're
not
interested in me and don't want to meet me, ok?
I think I shoud close this letter. It is not good that I don't have a
computer at home
and have to send my letters to you from the Internet cafe which is far
from
my home.
I wish I could talk to you on the phone, but unfortunately we don't
have
possibility for international calls
( I can't call you and you can't call me because we have here
four-digital
phone numbers).
It is possible to make international phone calls only from big cities.
Ok, that is enough for today. If I didn't tell you something which is
important for you or maybe missed something,
don't be angry. Just ask me and I will answer for sure.
I think I will be here in the Internet cafe tomorrow or the day after
tomorrow because I have a lot of preparations before
going to Moscow. I hope when I come here, I will see one more letter
from
you.
Please write me and don't forget me!!!
Elena Speranskaja
my home address:
Russia
Kemerovskaya Region,
Branchatskiy village,
Lenina str. 55
PS Please send me as many photos of you as possible so that I will know
you
at the airport.
And one more thing. I have a very important question for you
- do you like string drinks? (NOTICE HERE SHE MIS-SPELLED STRONG(STRING) DRINKS, LATER APOLIGIZED)
- if so how many and how oftEN?
-----ELENA'S 3RD AND FINAL LETTER----
Wed, 21 Feb 2007 14:20:46 +0500
Hello hello again Matt!!! I feel so lucky because I have met such a man
from
the first time and I will do all
my best to meet you in real life soon. Ok, this letter is going to be
long
too, so be ready to read it since I want you to know everything about
me. I
just don't want any misunderstanding between us.
I guess you have a right to know that I am not perfect and I am not an
angel, I mean I am just an ordinary girl with all ordinary human
problems.
Sometimes I can show my character and of course I don't expect you to
be an
angel too, I just want to meet a kind man. I am an easy-going person
and can
forgive almost everything, but there is one thing. I hate drunkers and
rude
men. Oh, by the way I was rereading my previous letter to you. I made a
mistake.
When I asked you about string drinks, I mean strong drinks.
I love water and my favourite thing is swimming. I wish I could live
near
some sea or a ocean. You know, I have a dream. I want to see an ocean.
I was
always dreaming about it, sometimes I even think that I was a fish in
my
previous life ( hopefully some dolphin but not a shark).
I have graduated the Siberia State Univercity and I have a high degree
or a
license in trainers faculty and I also can work as a fitness trainer or
dance trainer. I like my profession and I wish I could work on this
subject
in some fitness club. I think it is very important to have a job which
can
give you not only a good salary but also good mood and get a pleasure
from
your job. What do you think? Unfortunately it is very hard to find such
kind
of job here because we have only a couple of such clubs and there is no
vacancy.
Ok, some things which I also like and don't like to do:
I love cooking and like make BBQ. I so much want to have a house of my
own
and make BBQs for my close people. I also dream to have a house with a
fire
place. I love cooking something new and something special.
My friends are telling me that I need to work at a reastaurant.
I also love warm weather and I hate winters. Here in Russia winters are
long
and very cold.
I have never been married but I hope someday, I also don't have kids
though
I already have an experience of a baby sitter. Sometime ago I had to
stay at
home because I couldn't find a job and I was helping my aunt with my
little
niece.
I hope one day to find that special one and it is impossible here in
Russia
because men are real drunkers and very rude.
You know for me age difference deosn't matter.
I think it is better that a man is older then me because older men are
more
experienced and
they know what they want to get from life.
I hate evil people and I hate politics.
Last few years I associate politics with wars and as you can see from
my
letter I hate violance and wars.
What I like in a man? Faithfulness and honesty. He has to be
open-minded and
kind-hearted, also easy-going. And I believe that there cannot be any
games
in relationship between a man and a woman. It is very important for a
man to
be a kind man. Maybe you think I am naive but I do belive that love and
kindness makes our world still alive. Are you a kind man??? I do
believe you
are, because soon I am flying to the USA and meet you there.
Why I chose you? I am an honest person and expect the same from you, so
I am
telling the truth.
I found you at the site by chance. Telling from the beginning of the
story I
know a woman who is on a dating site. That profile
wasn't mine, it was a profile of that woman, but she let me find
someone
from the dating site from her profile.
I don't know how to use the site, so I found you by chance and wrote
you. I
didn't know what will happen, I didn't know if
you write me or not. But I am glad that we met each other because I
like you
now really!!!
In my opinion, people do get intimate quickly on the Internet as there
is
less shyness while typing
as opposed to face to face communication, therefore it is the best way
to
get to know one another better.
What do you think?
When I am in the USA I will rent some room near my future work and
hopefully
we shall spend free time together.
I have a question. Is it ok for you if we live together. I mean if we
like
each other or maybe if there will be something more then just be
friends. I
think I will improve my English with your help and it will give us a
chance
to get to now each other better, who knows... We'll see. I write you
without
translator, but I don't have a experience in talking in English face to
face. Do you have a big bed? (I am just joking).
I have a driving license but I am not sure if I am able to drive there
in
the USA, maybe you will give me a few good lessons.
My head is full of plans and ideas...
I am sorry for a long letter but I just wanted you to know me better. I
am
flying from Kemerovo's airport to Moscow in a few hours. My flight will
take
almost five hours!!! I hope I will write you tomorrow.
As soon as I arrive in Moscow I will have to find a hotel or rent a
room to
live in before my flight to the USA. I have already been in Moscow and
I
know all these things, so it will not be a great problem for me. By the
way
when I was in Moscow last time I did a couple of professional photos
and I
hope when I come there, my photos will be ready.
I was told it will take about a couple more days to complete all my
travel
arrangements and I do hope to see you in a few days already!!! And even
don't think to look at other girls since I am the best one for you! (
joke)
Your Elena

MATCH.COM
Letters:
Hello Michael!!!! Have a good day.I do hope you
remember me because I wrote you recently and you
replied to me.I am sorry that I couldn't reply
earlier.
You see I live in Russia and I was busy arranging all
travel preparations. I was in Moscow to book my
interiew for the trip to the USA,it took almost two
weeks to travel to Moscow and back. You know that it
is my first time I try correspondence with a man in a
virtual space.
I am not a very good user of the Intenet and I do hope
that I will be lucky to meet a good man.
I guess I need to explain why I do it.The thing is
that I will work abroad for three months or so and I
would like to meet a nice man to be my guide or just
to be a good friend to spend time with while I am
there. I suppose it is hard enough to live in some
foreign town without friends and besides I have never
been abroad. You know I've been liviving in a small
town here in Russia all my life and I am just afraid
to be lost. Besides I would like to see a real life
(not some TV shows) and it is impossible to see a
real life without a person who knows all sides of the
life. And you should also know that I don't want to
live in Russia because I don't have any chances here,
it is hardly possible to explain in a few words but I
want you to know all my plans. While being in the USA
I will be working in any shop or be babysitter in some
family. I will know the details later. Besides I love
English language and being in the USA, it will give me
a chance to improve my English.
The agency helps me to get the visa, work permission
and all travel documents and they will help me to get
a job. It is their business and I will pay for their
service. One of my friend worked in USA for three
months last year,and she was so pleased and she is
going to repeat this trip again.
She has men right man in Chicago and they are good
friends now and he is going to marry her if everything
is all right between them.
I am coming to the USA due to the special programm for
young people who want to work abroad and I think it is
the right way for me.
I am lost here, and hopefully I will be able to change
my life. I am full of plans and different dreams. You
should know that I have dark brown
hair and green eyes. I am sure that you will be not
disappoined to meet me in the real life if we meet. At
least I hope so.
Well,I am finishing this letter and I do hope to get
your reply pretty soon.
Maybe after reading my letter you will find me a
little crazy but I am not sure I know the right way to
meet a good man without real meeting and you know it
is my first try though the Internet. I will leave my
town in a few days or so to fly to Moscow again to
complete all the things. It is said at the agency that
I will work all day and I think we might share
evenings together to get to know each other better.
If you have any interest to meet me I will be more
than happy!!!
I just don't want to be alone in the evenings, and I
would like to be sure in advance that somebody waits
for me! It is just a woman wish!
I will tell you all the details about me and my life.
If you're also single, you may be with me for a few
months or so .... Who knows???!
With best regards from Russia
Elena ( this my name )
PS I have attached photos of me so that you could have
a better idea about me.
Hello Michael!!!
Thanks you for your reply. I was very glad to see your
reply in my e-mail box.
That would be right if I tell you about me and about
my life because we have
a chance to meet each other in a real life and thus we
need to know each other
better.You please tell me more about yourself, all
right?
I am the simple and ordinary girl with my own
interests,a hobby and tastes.I think I I shall start
to tell to you about things which as I wish to know
from you, so you will see my questions. As you know my
name is Elena and my last name is Harlanova.
I am 31 years and on 30 January I shall be 32.
I am about 167 cm tall and my weight is about 53 kg
The sizes of my body are 95-62-91 cm.
I have dark brown hair and green eyes which you can
see from my photos.
I know that many women abroad have an opportunity to
improve their bodies and faces and they look so
beautiful.Unfortunately it is impossible here in
Russia because this country is still far from a
civilization. But I still think that natural beauty is
much better.
I live with my aunt,the uncle and cousin because I do
not have parents (they have died long time ago in bus
crush when I was still small). Unfortunately we live
in two-room small appartments and it is not convenient
and comfortable. Me and my cousin are very good
friends, but now he is in army.
To tell the truth there is nothing good in the fact
that I was born and live in small town of Russia.
There is no chance for a good life here and it is very
hard to find work here.
All young people leave small towns and go to big
cities in searches of work but unfortunately
there is too there is no luck for them in big cities
because nobody is waiting them there.
Living in Russia is living " all by myself ". It is
good but cruel school of a life.
I hope that in he future I shall work as fitness
trainer because I have the certificate and I am good
in it. I worked in last of two years as fitness
trainer and it was the best time in my life.
I do not smoke, also I drink socially. My preference
in alcohol is red wine, but only a glass or two.
I tried to smoke when I was younger. Silly me! But I
think almost everyone tries to smoke when you are 13
years, right? I try to take care of my body and the
face as much as possible. I wasn't born yesterday and
I know that almost all men love women " by their eyes
",
I mean that this or that way woman's appearance is
very important for the man.
Speaking about my travel. I shall arrive to the USA
this month but I don't know when exactly,
I know that I shall have all documents to travel very
soon and I shall travel to Moscow again to finish all
preparations for travel to the USA.
I shall get visa and I shall buy the ticket and then I
shall fly to the USA.
I do not know where exactly I fly because I have not
decided yet.
I can choose almost any state to stay that is why I
need to know a name of the nearest international
airport to you. I just wish to have somebody expecting
me at the airport and I do not wish to be alone there.
I shall fly to the USA directly from Moscow and I hope
you will want to meet me at the airport and to be my
guide and it would be great to meet you face to face
and to spend some time together.I know that it is not
an easy thing as it might seem, but there is nothing
impossible,right?
I shall be more than glad if you understand me and my
thoughts and you are with me in this question but if
not,then please tell me that you are not interested in
me and do not wish to meet me, ok?
I think I should close this letter.
It is not good that I have no computer at home and I
have to send my letters to you from Internet cafe
which is far from my house. I would like to talk to
you on the phone, but unfortunately we have no
opportunity for international calls (I cannot call to
you and you cannot call to me because here we have
four-digital telephone numbers).It is possible to make
international phone calls only from big cities.
All right, it is enough for today. If I did not tell
you something which is very important for you or I
missed something, please do not be angry.Just ask me
and I will answer for sure.
I think I shall be here in the Internet cafe tomorrow,
I have many preparations before travel to Moscow. I
hope when I come here, I shall see one more letter
from you.
Please write me and do not forget me!!!

born and live in a small town of Russia.
There is no chance for a good living and it is very hard to fnd a job
here.
All young people leave towns and go to big cities searching for work
but
unfortunately there is also
no luck for them in big cities since nobody is waiting for them there.
Living in Russia is living "all by myself". It is a good but cruel
school of
life.
I don't smoke and drink socially, my preference in alcohol is red wine,
but only a glass or maybe two. I tried to smoke when I was younger.
Silly
me!
But I think almost everybody try to smoke when you are a 13 years old,
right?
I try to take care of my body and face as much as it is possible. I
wasn't
born yesterday and
I know that almost all "men love women by their eyes", I mean this or
that
way woman's
appearence is very important for a man.
Speaking about my trip. I will come to your country this month but I
don't
know when exactly,
I know that I will have all documents to travel soon and I will travel
to
Moscow later this week
again to complete all travel preparations.
I will get a visa and buy a ticket and then fly to your country. I even
don't know where exactly
I am flying because I haven't decided yet. I can choose almost any city
to
stay that
is why I need to know the name of the nearest international airport to
you.
I just want to have somebody waiting for me at the airport and not to
be
alone there.
I will fly to your airport right from Moscow and I hope you will want
to
meet me at the airport and
be my guide and besides it would be great to meet with you face to face
and
spend some time together.
I know that it is not an easy thing as it might seem but there is
nothing
impossible, right?
I will be more then glad to know that you understand me and my thoughts
and
you are
with me in this question, but if not, then please tell me that you're
not
interested in me and don't want to meet me, ok?
I think I shoud close this letter. It is not good that I don't have a
computer at home
and have to send my letters to you from the Internet cafe which is far
from
my home.
I wish I could talk to you on the phone, but unfortunately we don't
have
possibility for international calls
( I can't call you and you can't call me because we have here
four-digital
phone numbers).
It is possible to make international phone calls only from big cities.
Ok, that is enough for today. If I didn't tell you something which is
important for you or maybe missed something,
don't be angry. Just ask me and I will answer for sure.
I think I will be here in the Internet cafe tomorrow or the day after
tomorrow because I have a lot of preparations before
going to Moscow. I hope when I come here, I will see one more letter
from
you.
Please write me and don't forget me!!!

my home address:
Russia

Branchatskiy village,

PS Please send me as many photos of you as possible so that I will know
you
at the airport.
And one more thing. I have a very important question for you
- do you like string drinks? (NOTICE HERE SHE MIS-SPELLED STRONG(STRING) DRINKS, LATER APOLIGIZED)
- if so how many and how oftEN?
-----ELENA'S 3RD AND FINAL LETTER----
Wed, 21 Feb 2007 14:20:46 +0500
Hello hello again Matt!!! I feel so lucky because I have met such a man
from
the first time and I will do all
my best to meet you in real life soon. Ok, this letter is going to be
long
too, so be ready to read it since I want you to know everything about
me. I
just don't want any misunderstanding between us.
I guess you have a right to know that I am not perfect and I am not an
angel, I mean I am just an ordinary girl with all ordinary human
problems.
Sometimes I can show my character and of course I don't expect you to
be an
angel too, I just want to meet a kind man. I am an easy-going person
and can
forgive almost everything, but there is one thing. I hate drunkers and
rude
men. Oh, by the way I was rereading my previous letter to you. I made a
mistake.
When I asked you about string drinks, I mean strong drinks.
I love water and my favourite thing is swimming. I wish I could live
near
some sea or a ocean. You know, I have a dream. I want to see an ocean.
I was
always dreaming about it, sometimes I even think that I was a fish in
my
previous life ( hopefully some dolphin but not a shark).
I have graduated the Siberia State Univercity and I have a high degree
or a
license in trainers faculty and I also can work as a fitness trainer or
dance trainer. I like my profession and I wish I could work on this
subject
in some fitness club. I think it is very important to have a job which
can
give you not only a good salary but also good mood and get a pleasure
from
your job. What do you think? Unfortunately it is very hard to find such
kind
of job here because we have only a couple of such clubs and there is no
vacancy.
Ok, some things which I also like and don't like to do:
I love cooking and like make BBQ. I so much want to have a house of my
own
and make BBQs for my close people. I also dream to have a house with a
fire
place. I love cooking something new and something special.
My friends are telling me that I need to work at a reastaurant.
I also love warm weather and I hate winters. Here in Russia winters are
long
and very cold.
I have never been married but I hope someday, I also don't have kids
though
I already have an experience of a baby sitter. Sometime ago I had to
stay at
home because I couldn't find a job and I was helping my aunt with my
little
niece.
I hope one day to find that special one and it is impossible here in
Russia
because men are real drunkers and very rude.
You know for me age difference deosn't matter.
I think it is better that a man is older then me because older men are
more
experienced and
they know what they want to get from life.
I hate evil people and I hate politics.
Last few years I associate politics with wars and as you can see from
my
letter I hate violance and wars.
What I like in a man? Faithfulness and honesty. He has to be
open-minded and
kind-hearted, also easy-going. And I believe that there cannot be any
games
in relationship between a man and a woman. It is very important for a
man to
be a kind man. Maybe you think I am naive but I do belive that love and
kindness makes our world still alive. Are you a kind man??? I do
believe you
are, because soon I am flying to the USA and meet you there.
Why I chose you? I am an honest person and expect the same from you, so
I am
telling the truth.
I found you at the site by chance. Telling from the beginning of the
story I
know a woman who is on a dating site. That profile
wasn't mine, it was a profile of that woman, but she let me find
someone
from the dating site from her profile.
I don't know how to use the site, so I found you by chance and wrote
you. I
didn't know what will happen, I didn't know if
you write me or not. But I am glad that we met each other because I
like you
now really!!!
In my opinion, people do get intimate quickly on the Internet as there
is
less shyness while typing
as opposed to face to face communication, therefore it is the best way
to
get to know one another better.
What do you think?
When I am in the USA I will rent some room near my future work and
hopefully
we shall spend free time together.
I have a question. Is it ok for you if we live together. I mean if we
like
each other or maybe if there will be something more then just be
friends. I
think I will improve my English with your help and it will give us a
chance
to get to now each other better, who knows... We'll see. I write you
without
translator, but I don't have a experience in talking in English face to
face. Do you have a big bed? (I am just joking).
I have a driving license but I am not sure if I am able to drive there
in
the USA, maybe you will give me a few good lessons.
My head is full of plans and ideas...
I am sorry for a long letter but I just wanted you to know me better. I
am
flying from Kemerovo's airport to Moscow in a few hours. My flight will
take
almost five hours!!! I hope I will write you tomorrow.
As soon as I arrive in Moscow I will have to find a hotel or rent a
room to
live in before my flight to the USA. I have already been in Moscow and
I
know all these things, so it will not be a great problem for me. By the
way
when I was in Moscow last time I did a couple of professional photos
and I
hope when I come there, my photos will be ready.
I was told it will take about a couple more days to complete all my
travel
arrangements and I do hope to see you in a few days already!!! And even
don't think to look at other girls since I am the best one for you! (
joke)
Your Elena
-------THIS IS THE LETTER I FOUND ON WOMENRUSSIA.COM/BLACKLIST.....BUSTED--------
Scammer details:
Surname: HARLANOVA
Name: ELENA
City: PERM
Country: RUSSIA
Which agency/website you contacted her through:
MATCH.COM
Letters:
Hello Michael!!!! Have a good day.I do hope you
remember me because I wrote you recently and you
replied to me.I am sorry that I couldn't reply
earlier.
You see I live in Russia and I was busy arranging all
travel preparations. I was in Moscow to book my
interiew for the trip to the USA,it took almost two
weeks to travel to Moscow and back. You know that it
is my first time I try correspondence with a man in a
virtual space.
I am not a very good user of the Intenet and I do hope
that I will be lucky to meet a good man.
I guess I need to explain why I do it.The thing is
that I will work abroad for three months or so and I
would like to meet a nice man to be my guide or just
to be a good friend to spend time with while I am
there. I suppose it is hard enough to live in some
foreign town without friends and besides I have never
been abroad. You know I've been liviving in a small
town here in Russia all my life and I am just afraid
to be lost. Besides I would like to see a real life
(not some TV shows) and it is impossible to see a
real life without a person who knows all sides of the
life. And you should also know that I don't want to
live in Russia because I don't have any chances here,
it is hardly possible to explain in a few words but I
want you to know all my plans. While being in the USA
I will be working in any shop or be babysitter in some
family. I will know the details later. Besides I love
English language and being in the USA, it will give me
a chance to improve my English.
The agency helps me to get the visa, work permission
and all travel documents and they will help me to get
a job. It is their business and I will pay for their
service. One of my friend worked in USA for three
months last year,and she was so pleased and she is
going to repeat this trip again.
She has men right man in Chicago and they are good
friends now and he is going to marry her if everything
is all right between them.
I am coming to the USA due to the special programm for
young people who want to work abroad and I think it is
the right way for me.
I am lost here, and hopefully I will be able to change
my life. I am full of plans and different dreams. You
should know that I have dark brown
hair and green eyes. I am sure that you will be not
disappoined to meet me in the real life if we meet. At
least I hope so.
Well,I am finishing this letter and I do hope to get
your reply pretty soon.
Maybe after reading my letter you will find me a
little crazy but I am not sure I know the right way to
meet a good man without real meeting and you know it
is my first try though the Internet. I will leave my
town in a few days or so to fly to Moscow again to
complete all the things. It is said at the agency that
I will work all day and I think we might share
evenings together to get to know each other better.
If you have any interest to meet me I will be more
than happy!!!
I just don't want to be alone in the evenings, and I
would like to be sure in advance that somebody waits
for me! It is just a woman wish!
I will tell you all the details about me and my life.
If you're also single, you may be with me for a few
months or so .... Who knows???!
With best regards from Russia
Elena ( this my name )
PS I have attached photos of me so that you could have
a better idea about me.
Hello Michael!!!
Thanks you for your reply. I was very glad to see your
reply in my e-mail box.
That would be right if I tell you about me and about
my life because we have
a chance to meet each other in a real life and thus we
need to know each other
better.You please tell me more about yourself, all
right?
I am the simple and ordinary girl with my own
interests,a hobby and tastes.I think I I shall start
to tell to you about things which as I wish to know
from you, so you will see my questions. As you know my
name is Elena and my last name is Harlanova.
I am 31 years and on 30 January I shall be 32.
I am about 167 cm tall and my weight is about 53 kg
The sizes of my body are 95-62-91 cm.
I have dark brown hair and green eyes which you can
see from my photos.
I know that many women abroad have an opportunity to
improve their bodies and faces and they look so
beautiful.Unfortunately it is impossible here in
Russia because this country is still far from a
civilization. But I still think that natural beauty is
much better.
I live with my aunt,the uncle and cousin because I do
not have parents (they have died long time ago in bus
crush when I was still small). Unfortunately we live
in two-room small appartments and it is not convenient
and comfortable. Me and my cousin are very good
friends, but now he is in army.
To tell the truth there is nothing good in the fact
that I was born and live in small town of Russia.
There is no chance for a good life here and it is very
hard to find work here.
All young people leave small towns and go to big
cities in searches of work but unfortunately
there is too there is no luck for them in big cities
because nobody is waiting them there.
Living in Russia is living " all by myself ". It is
good but cruel school of a life.
I hope that in he future I shall work as fitness
trainer because I have the certificate and I am good
in it. I worked in last of two years as fitness
trainer and it was the best time in my life.
I do not smoke, also I drink socially. My preference
in alcohol is red wine, but only a glass or two.
I tried to smoke when I was younger. Silly me! But I
think almost everyone tries to smoke when you are 13
years, right? I try to take care of my body and the
face as much as possible. I wasn't born yesterday and
I know that almost all men love women " by their eyes
",
I mean that this or that way woman's appearance is
very important for the man.
Speaking about my travel. I shall arrive to the USA
this month but I don't know when exactly,
I know that I shall have all documents to travel very
soon and I shall travel to Moscow again to finish all
preparations for travel to the USA.
I shall get visa and I shall buy the ticket and then I
shall fly to the USA.
I do not know where exactly I fly because I have not
decided yet.
I can choose almost any state to stay that is why I
need to know a name of the nearest international
airport to you. I just wish to have somebody expecting
me at the airport and I do not wish to be alone there.
I shall fly to the USA directly from Moscow and I hope
you will want to meet me at the airport and to be my
guide and it would be great to meet you face to face
and to spend some time together.I know that it is not
an easy thing as it might seem, but there is nothing
impossible,right?
I shall be more than glad if you understand me and my
thoughts and you are with me in this question but if
not,then please tell me that you are not interested in
me and do not wish to meet me, ok?
I think I should close this letter.
It is not good that I have no computer at home and I
have to send my letters to you from Internet cafe
which is far from my house. I would like to talk to
you on the phone, but unfortunately we have no
opportunity for international calls (I cannot call to
you and you cannot call to me because here we have
four-digital telephone numbers).It is possible to make
international phone calls only from big cities.
All right, it is enough for today. If I did not tell
you something which is very important for you or I
missed something, please do not be angry.Just ask me
and I will answer for sure.
I think I shall be here in the Internet cafe tomorrow,
I have many preparations before travel to Moscow. I
hope when I come here, I shall see one more letter
from you.
Please write me and do not forget me!!!

Scamming scenario : travel scam (air tickets)
Letter 2
I am a member of americansingles.com and only a few hours after I subscribed to the site I got an e-mail from a young woman without a picture from layfette, La. She later introduced herself as Elena Speranskaja of russia(ITS THE SAME WOMAN NAMED DINA HAFIZOVA THAT IS ON YOUR SCAMMERS LIST). She was convincing, commented on how beautiful my kids were..It was my first experience with this type of predator..I learned she was a scammer on (womenrussia.com/blacklist) I found a identical letter(including the fact that her parents were killed in a bus crash when she was younger)I saved the letter (which was written either by another scammer or by herself under another name and picture)and wrote her back telling her to stop scamming people and earn a honest living and that Karma was a bitch, told her to give it up and I attached the fake letter that matched hers identically to my e-mail and I haven't heard from her since...oh yea she said she was from "Branchatskiy village in the Kemerovskaya region" which either doesn't exist or is hard to locate..
