Hello my dear xxxxx , how are you ? today

It's good to write you again! I think I'm a lucky girl to meet such good mas as you in Internet! I hope I will be lucky enough to meet you in the real life!!!!!!!! Yesterday I told my parents about you. They said now they worry about me not that much as before because they know you are a kind man and can help me if I need your help. You can show me your city and tell me about the life over there! I think I didn't write you I like to cook. I will cook Russian cuisine for you! Pelmeni, vareniki, blini, borsch, okroshka! You will like it! Besides Russian cuisine I like Italian and Mexican.

I love spaghetti and pizzza!!!!! mmmmmmm ! I can't like without it! I like Mexican food because it's very spicy, although I don't cook Mexican dishes too often. I've been told my cooking is very tasty! I like to cook cakes. My favorite is cheese-cake with raspberry! You know.... when I talk about food I'm getting hungry I eat everything and I'm not on any diets but usually I don't eat after 7 pm. This helps me not to be fat! I can cook many tasty things for you when we meet!

You know.. almost all Russian men are like bears! They are so rude, they can't be nice and polite, they don't want to have a family. I think you are not like them. I like to go to the cinema! I really like to watch a good movie with my friends. Yesterday I've seen a great historical movie!!! It is called "The Mongol".. I really liked it so much! It was produced Coproduction of film: Russia-Kazahstan-Germany and there you can see some good actors! One of directors of this movie is a well known Russian director Sergey Bodrov Jr. If you didn't see this movie find it and watch! I advice it to you! Actually my favorite actor is Russell Crowe and I like all movies with him. I've watched "3:10 to Yuma" and very good film "Gladiator" Have you seen it? Soon I want to go to the premier of new movie - Crank: High Voltage. This film the leaging role is played by the actor: Jason Statham Could you recommend me any American movie so I can watch it? What is your favorite movie and actor? Some time age I watched "Saving Private Ryan" (directed by Steven Spielberg). I've read this film and I like it so much! Breathtaking! Anyway I think the book is better then the movie.

Soooooooooooooooo......... what else could I say? I have a driver's licence but I don't have a car. My father has a Russian car and he gives me his car sometimes. I like not only the cinema! I like theatre and opera too, I like ballet. I like ballet"Swan Lake" I know about ballet not much, Kind of theatrics, basic which expressive means are indissolubly connected among themselves Music and dance Unfortunately there is only one small theatre in my city and there is nothing interesting. If I want to go to ballet, for example, I should go to Ulan-Ude, there sometimes can come famous Russian actors and dancers but I can't go there often because it's quite expensive. And now I have some good news for you! After sending this email I will go home, pack my bags and today later I will go to Ulan-Ude! From there I will fly to St-Petersburg!

I was on a plane only two times in my life and I'm afraid to fly! I hope my plane will not fall down! I'm really afraid! So it is several hours from Ulan-Ude to St-Petersburg and I will come to St-Petersburg late night. I don't think I will live in hotel there, it's very expensive. You know, by statistics St-Petersburg is the more expensive city in the world after Moscow or Tokyo. I will rent a room in apartment, it will be cheap. Of course it will be very modest but it's OK for me! When I come to St-Petersburg and settle down I will write you an email. I hope tomorrow I will be able to write me. Please don't worry about me if you don't hear from me tomorrow, that will mean I was not able to find a place to stay and I will write you tomorrow. Anyway, I hope I will write you tomorrow!!! In St-Petersburg I will spend a week or maybe even more, I should make all final arrangements with my documents and after it I will come to you! I've never been to St-Petersburg before and I'm so nervous now... I've never went somewhere alone and now I should go alone to such big city!

You know... I had such great desire to start my trip already.. and now I feel myself like a newborn kitten who has even didn't open it's eyes... I just want to hug my mommy and don't want to go anywhere... but I know that's my dream to start a new life and I will try to turn in to reality! Soon you will hear some news from me from St-Petersburg!!!!!!!! Love and kisses! I hope I'm the one for you! So sorry of long my letter From both nervous and excited,

your Yuliya

More mails used by this scammer;

Hello xxxxx!

happy see your answer my inbox I write you my emails from Internet cafe, I don't have my own computer.I'm sending few photos for you today! I hope you are not tired to look at my photos? This time I will write you more about myself. I think you should know more about my life and my hobbies so you will know if we have any common interests. I hope soon I will be able to come to your area by my birthday and we will meet each other! I'm not sure why I picked you but I feel something special about you! We live with our parents and my young sister in 2 room apartment. I'm happy my parents will be not alone when I leave the for another country.. My father is 55 years old now, my mom is 49. You see my mom is much younger then my father and they are very happy together. My mother is a teacher of mathematics in the school.

The name of my small city is Ivolginsk, it's near Ulan-Ude city(Republic Buryatiya). Zarechnyi is quite small city and Yakutsk is a large city, the main city in our district. Ulan-Ude is located on 65 degree of northern breadth. In a Ulan-Ude 63 frosts and 39 heats were marked. Amplitude of fluctuations of the winter and years temperatures, exceeding 100, any region of the world Average temperature in January - does not test 42,7 degrees, in July + 18,7 degrees. For a year drops out up to 202 mm of deposits, and as very much the greater river "Selenga" here proceeds As the biggest lake in the world "Baykal" is not far from me . Distance up to Moscow - 8468 km

I graduated from Ulan-Ude Sports University two years ago, contemporary dance faculty. Yes we have such faculty in Sport University! So I'm a professional dancer. I don't want to have a dancer's career because I will have not much time for my private life and for relationship with a man. I work as a dance teacher, I teach children from 10 to 15 years how to dance! Also I have a certificate of fitness instructor, this is my another hobby. So it would be perfect if later I will find a work as instructor or teacher of dances!!! I think it's a very good job for a woman, I'm always in a good shape and I keep myself not that busy! Do you know how to dance? If not I can teach you! I can dance many different styles. When I come to your city I will work as a waitress in a restaurant. I would like to work as a dance teacher but I think you understand it's not possible to arrange such work by Internet because they want to see how well I dance. Anyway I will try to find such work when I come over there. Or maybe not a dancer but aerobics instructor, I think it's also very good job. Of course I will miss everybody but I want to have my own happiness! In winter I like skiing, although we have cold winters... our summers are warm usually. I color my hair to blond. The natural color of my hair is fair. I hope that's not a problem for you or you like natural color of hair? I like classic music, jazz, rock, lounge. I like music at all! I want to try how to ride a motorcycle someday! I've never tried it! I very much love flowers, I very much like roses and violets I can play piano also, she teached me how to play piano. I finished music school and I still play piano about once a week. I suppose in few days I will leave for St-Petersrug and start my trip! There is no any messenger in this Cafe so we can only keep emailing each other. I hope you are not getting bored to read my emails?

My full name - Yuliya Kushnir . My birthday is December,11 . I'm 26 years old, not that young I think? I'm 173 cm tall (5.6.) and 51 kg weight (about 120 pounds, I'm not sure how much it is in pound but I'm not fat!). I don't know exactly my bust-waist-hips measurements, I don't have a reason to measure it because I think it's OK and my body is proportionate. I take care of my body, I do aerobics three times a week and two times a week I go to the swimming pool twice a week. My address here is Russia, Ivolginsk, zip code : 671050, Mirnaya 15 street, flat 10.

So now you have a representation of who I am.... I just can tell you that I enjoy life and I try to live to the fullest, I like to try new things. I'm not that smart.. I was not that good in mathematics, physics, biology and so on! But I'm very tender, caring, artistic, faithful, decent person. Sometimes I can be not well organized, I think everybody had it's own minuses and pluses. I don't look any special qualities in a man. I just hope he will be faithful to me and ready to create a happy family with me and I will do everything to make him happy. I'm looking for a soulmate! OK... it's time to finish my email. I'm sending a kiss by the wind to you and if I sent it to the right destination you should receive it by evening. I hope you will catch my kiss somehow.

Do you have an International Airport in your city? Please write me it's name an code. Or write me the name of the nearest Airport to you. If you want I can call you when I'm in St-Petersrug, it would be nice to talk to you. Now I'm not at home often and of you call me my father will pick up the phone and he can't speak any English and he will be shocked to hear the English speech. I still didn't tell him about you but I'm going to tell him this week, I will write you about his thoughts on his topic!

bye! your Yuliya


My beloved I don't know what is happening to me.
I can't stop thinking of you. I have been thinking of you all night and day long. I couldn't get asleep.
I am thinking too much, planning too much. I am like a child waiting for something special, you know that feeling?

When you believe that something special will happen, you count minutes, seconds. Too many thoughts in my head drive me crazy. I become mad with happiness.
I can't feel the reality anymore and I don't believe this is me.
You know it is a strange feeling, I would like to describe it to you, and I would like to know if you feel the same.
I become crazy if I don,t see your letter on my e-mail, the thoughts like. Does he abandon me?
Did I say something wrong?” appear in my mind and I become afraid of losing you.
When I don't see you letter on my e-mail I feel terrible, I feel like the time stops, I feel like I am dead.
I am sure now that I want top be with you, I don't care what other people think, I don't care if it is against the normal rules of finding your second half.
I feel that I want to be with you with every single part of my body.
I can't satisfy myself with your letters anymore, I cannot live without seeing your lips, I want to kiss them, want to see your eyes and hold your hands.
I want to realize everything I dreamt of with you. Hold your hands like I dreamt about it, look at you, and look in your eyes.
I want to live for you, want to be with you in happiness and misery. I want to go asleep with you, embracing you.
I want to see you when you wake up, make you breakfast, coffee, honey.
Say you good morning, my sweetheart.
It is a strange feeling, but I feel that I could have a strong family with you.
I don't want to be alone anymore, but feel that there is someone behind me, who can protect me.
What does this feeling mean? I think I am in love with you. I am afraid to scare you with what I am writing.
It is silly, I am not a girl. I should control myself. Yeah, I should but I can't.
You have already figured out that I cannot pretend the things I don't have.
Yes I was hurt, but it seems that I haven't lost the ability of loving someone.
I want you to know about it, even if at the end you will hurt me, too.
I will forgive you, still, because my love is so profound that it will be enough for both of us.
Strange-strange feeling, I don't even remember when was the last time
it was so strong. Probably, it was the very first time many years ago.
If only I could I would take a plane I would spend everything just to appear in your arms, strong and secure...
I have figured out that I really can receive a visa to reach you, probably that is the fact that doesn't let me calm down. Now I feel everything can be real.
Dear, believe me it is a question of time. Soon we will be together.
I will do all the paper work, get the visa, pay for it and take a plane; you will just need to get me at the airport.
As far as I figured out it will not be a problem, because I have no relatives in your country and no criminal cases in my life.
The only thing that can prevent them from giving me the visa is my salary. Damn.
It is not big enough. But I will try, nevertheless.
I hope you understand me.
It is a risk I have never been to your country, I am afraid a bit. But I know that I want to try our relationship, to prove them, to make them real.
Write me something on this account; I need to know your opinion.
Love you, love you, love you more than I love my life.
Miss you, love you!!!

P.S. I have made you some new pictures, check them up.
Are they good enough?
Mostly they were done by my girlfriend

Hello my dearest one!!!
How are you today? As for me I am not really in the mood.
I have a feeling that I did something wrong.
I have never thought this could happen to me. That I could fell in love with the person I have never seen in my life.
I want to less the distance between us so much, to take your hand, to look into your eyes and to see that you understand my naive soul. I know I shouldn't be so open. I have to be strong and keep everything inside.
I am too emotional but I don't want you to be scared and run away. If I could be closer to you and if I could show you my feelings. I want you so much to see me, to feel my touch.
I would kiss your eyes and say how I love you.
Again I am acting like a silly little girl. I am mad at myself.
But at the same time I can't stop. I want you to know my feelings. I even thought of coming to you. And I have even went the tourist agency to check about the visas. And now I know that the best way for me to come to you is to get a tourist visa. It will not take much time.
And they told me at the tourist agency that I have a very good chance to get it. And it is a very good reason for giving me a visa. I've checked that a visa will cost $400.

(400$ for visa, passport, medical insurance and for all documents)
But if you can please send some extra for food and etc.....

You know with my salary I just can't afford it. And I will need your help. It's up to you, of course. But I really hope you will be able to help me with getting visa.
Please, think about it and let me know.
Do you want me to come to you?
Do you want to meet with me at last? I want it very much.
Hope you too.
I will give you the information for the case you decide to do it.
The best way to send money is to do it via Western Union or Money Gram. It is an easy and quick way to get it.
It is necessary to know the full name of receiver.

My full name is Yuliya Kushnir.
Saint-Petersburg, Russia

And after sending money, the one who is getting money should know an
MTCN (Money Transfer Control Number) - 10 digits or Reference number (for Money Gram) - 8 digits,
the sum of money that was sent and the full name of the sender and the city where you are living.

Also you can send money on-line!!!
(please visit http://www.westernunion.com and http://www.moneygram.com for more information)
Well, I hope that you will think on this information.
You have lots of food for thought.
Please, write me as soon as possible. I am waiting for your reply.
Love you.

P.S. You can send money to any Western Union or Money Gram of Saint-Petersburg, Russia.
Here is the closest Money Gram and Western Union office:

URALSIB BANK
VOZNESENSKII PROSPEKT, 34
Saint-Petersburg, 190031, Russia


P.P.S. Also I have asked to copy the following instruction for you:

While you're sending the wire transfer you might be asked to provide information concerning transfer purpose and destination.
In order to speed up the process please reply that these funds are sent to your friend, relative, business partner and etc.
Please do specify that the receiver is known by you personally and also note that these funds are your own money.
Main reason for this request is financial regulations in receiver’s country, so be serious and answer teller’s questions carefully because incorrect answers could cause a significant delay for the wire to be processed.

I would like to help posting pics , is there a program or how do u do it ? thanks
#13681 by Dan Jones Sat Sep 05, 2009 6:49 pm
You will probably need to upload the pictures to an image host. If they were sent as attachments to an email then follow these instructions. If they are hosted on some sort of dating site then you can just post his link here.

We recommend http://www.scamwarners.com/main as it can place a watermark over the scammer's image, preventing it being used by other scammers.

You may first have to save the image to your computer. which involves downloading the attachments from the email. Save it somewhere obvious. I use my desktop.
When they are on your computer, go to http://www.scamwarners.com/main and click the browse button. Go to the folder you saved them in (IE. the desktop) and select one of them. Click "Open" and then select one of the watermarks. Finally click "Upload" and wait for it to...upload.

When that's done, you get a list of links. Copy the one next to "Hotlinks for forums" and then paste it in a reply to this thread.

If that's all a bit much you can forward the email to me at [email protected]
