Hello;
I'm from the midwest and here is my story.
I was contacted by a sweet and pretty girl on Friend Finder. Her handle on
that site was Businca. I don't have the first few emails she sent me because
I knew right from the beginning that she was a Scammer. I had been Scammed
about 6 months ago for $1,820.00 so I became quite adept at recognizing
thier ways by reading everything I could find on different web sites.
This girl has to be really stupid because I had told her that I had been
Scammed and that there was no way that I would send money to a woman I
didn't know. After knowing all of this, she had the nerve to ask me to send
her $350. to $400. to pay her debts.
She said her real name was Maria Bobrova and she lived in Yoshkar- Ola. the
email address she used is busincab@mail.ru She told me that Businca was a
nickname. Here are our emails that we sent to each other and photos she sent
me.
Email exchange
Hello dear Robert !!!
How are you? I don't hear from you many time. Hope that everything ok with
you. And hope to hear from you soon.
If you not interesting in me write about it please. I must to know. Also I
want to wish to you happy thanksgiven.
Take care
Maria
Hello Dear Maria;
Yes I am very interested in you. Any man that does not find you beautiful
and interesting would be a fool. The reason I haven't written lately is
because I have been thinking about one of our largest differences. I am
pretty much older than you, and I don't know if you could have a serious
relationship with a man of my age. I am very fit and healthy but I am still
20 years older than you.
I would like for us to talk about our dreams and aspirations together, if
you feel that we have a chance at starting a relationship. I know it is hard
to really know someone from letters, but it is a start. I am comming to
Moscow next summer and that would give us a chance to meet face to face and
spend time together to see if we would be compatable. What do you think of
this?
Let me know what your interests are with me. If you have questions for me, I
will be happy to answer them for you. I have to tell you this. Before you
wrote me your first letter to contact me, I had seen your profile and photo
on FF. I thought to myself WOW this is one lady that really caught my eye. I
started to contact you but then I thought of our age difference and didn't
write. About 2 weeks later you contacted me. Of all the photos I saw on FF,
yours was the one that made me say This is the lady for me Do you think
it was fate that made you write me to start our correspondence?
Thank you for wishing me a happy Thanksgiving. I only wish that you were
here to celebrate it with me.
You
have a great day
Think of me
Robert
Hello dear Robert !!!
I was very glad to take your letter. Ans was very glad to see that you
still interesting in me. How and I very interesting in you. And I don't
think that ages can to be handicap. But if you very scary our difference in
ages and afraid that it can be handicap for us say about it. Because now
our relation just begin and it will not so hard to lost each other that
then when we will in big feels.
>I am comming to Moscow next summer and that would give us a chance to meet
face to face and spend time together to see if we would be compatable. What
do you think of this?
Then I must pay for my debits in this year and I'll be absolutely free in
next month and will able to come to Moscow for meet with you. Maybe when I
meet you in Moscow we will trip to my town. We will see then. But I don't
know possible it for me or not. I haven't now money for my debits. I'll try
to do something.
>Let me know what your interests are with me.
I hope that you men which I try to find for my life. But this is we can
find out just after meet and more detailed acquaintance. But I think that I
right about you.
> Do you think it was fate that made you write me to start our
correspondence?
Hmm. Maybe, maybe. We must to try. I'll try to do everything for our meet
in Moscow in next year. I hope that I can do something.
Hope to hear from you soon
Take care

Hello Dear Maria;
It was very nice to wake up and find a letter from you this morning. I know
that I will have a great day now, because it started with you. I am sitting
at my desk writting you, and looking out of the window, watching the sun
rise. I love watching the sun rise. It would only be better if you were
here, watching it with me.
I am glad that you still find me interesting even though I am older than
you. To me age is just a number and you shouldn't let it get in the way of
stopping a meaningful and happy relationship.We may have a lot of interests
that are alike and we should explore them. I have to tell you that I am a
man that puts his woman on a pedistal and adores her always. I am very
respectful of my lady. I will tell her every day that she is beautiful and
that I love her. I will protect her and never leave her. I will provide for
her, and make sure she has everything she wants. I would want for her to
create a happy and comfortable home for us to share. She would not have to
work unless she wanted to for I am a very very good provider. I love to have
fun, so we would do lots of fun and interesting things together. In the
Winter, when it is cold, we could take romantic cruises to where it is warm,
and walk on the sunny beaches to enjoy each others conversation and company.
My love is total and my lady would know this not from just saying it, but by
it being shown to her.
When you meet me in Moscow, I will reimburse you for your fees that you paid
for the train trip to get there. Maybe we can tour Moscow for a few days and
then we can take the train to your city and you can show me your city. I
think that would be a lot of fun, Do you agree? I have read that there is a
very fun dancing club in your city that we would have to go to. I don't
remember the name of it right now, but I will try to find the name again
and tell you. You probably know the name of it. You might want to plan a
picnic for us in the nature also.
My Dear, if you have more photos, I would love to see them. I like looking
at your photos very much. If you have any questions for me, please ask. That
is the only way untill we meet that we can get to know each other.
You
take very good care of yourself
Write Soon
Robert
Hello dear Robert !!!
I was very glad to take your letter.
How are you? Hope everything ok with you.
>She would not have to work
I want to work. Because I don't want all days sit home and don't do
something. Also I think this is bad if I'll be on your contents :)
>When you meet me in Moscow, I will reimburse you for your fees that you
paid for the train trip to get there.
Ok. But I think we can meet just in 2004 year. I wrote to you about my
debits. I can't find it till middle of december and thereofore I can't meet
with you in next year.
>I think that would be a lot of fun, Do you agree?
Yes of course. Moscow very big town and I think we can find very many funny
in it.
>I have read that there is a very fun dancing club in your city that we
would have to go to.
Try to find name of it. It is interesting. Maybe Pharaon? No it closed.
>You might want to plan a picnic for us in the nature also.
Well if in my town we can visit my garden. It is very beautifull.
Hope to hear from you soon
Take care
Maria
Hello Sweet Maria;
Thank You for your letter. I am doing fine and I hope you are doing fine
also.
What I said in my letter is that you would not have to work if you didn't
want to because I am a great provider. If you want to work that is OK with
me, I just wanted to let you know that I didn't need your money from working
to support our home. I think it is good for a woman to work so she is not in
the house all the time. To me that would be very boring.
If you want to wait untill 2004 for our meeting in Moscow, that is fine with
me also. As you can see, I am very easy to get along with. I know about
debts because I have them also. I'm sure I can find someone in Moscow to
show me the city next year, and then when you can afford to come there in
2004, I will show you the city.
I found the story on the internet about the dance club, but it didn't give a
name for it. By your standards, it is suppose to be very expensive to enter
into it. but to me, it didn't seem that expensive.
You know I notice that your letters are not very personal. You never ask me
anything important, you just answer my questions to you. Aren't you curious
about me or where I live, or about anything that goes on in my life?
You are very different from other ladies that I have written.
Have a great day
Robert
Hello Sweet Maria;
I am happy that you had a very good week-end, and that you got good rest.
Remember that I told you that I had been scammed before for lots of money,
so I will never send cash money to anyone again untill I know them very very
well.
I have found out on the internet a way that I could buy you a train ticket
to Moscow to meet me. I can do it through the Virginia Agency that is in or
around your city. All you would have to do is go to the train station to
pick it up. I'm sorry but it would be a non-refundable ticket. That should
be OK with you if you want to meet me and spend 2 weeks having a lot of fun
together.
I would like to know more about you if we intend on getting serious. I would
like to know your last name and I would like to know your home address as
well. The reason is because I would like to send you a gift to show you that
I am not playing games with your heart.
I would like for you to send me more photos of you. You have ignored this
request in my past letters. I love looking at your one photo and I would
like to see more.
The reason I said that you were different than most women I had written was
because they wanted to know everything about me and you didn't seem to care
if you knew me or not.
I think things could work out for us if you give them a chance.
Please write soon and send photo
Take care
Robert
Hello dear Robert !!!
I was very glad to take your letter.
>Remember that I told you that I had been scammed before for lots of money,
But I don't ask you 2000$, I need just in 350-400$. And after it maybe I
don't will be need in any help on visa or tickets from your side.
> I could buy you a train ticket to Moscow to meet me. I can do it through
the Virginia Agency t
I hear many things about Virginia. This company take carzy money. For
example if ticket cost 25$ they take from you 100$. If any girl communicate
with american guy he must pay big money just for saying to his girl his
adress.
>All you would have to do is go to the train station to pick it up.
I know but I can't leave my town till I pay debits.
>That should be OK with you if you want to meet me and spend 2 weeks having
a lot of fun together.
I want it very much but how I say I can't. Just thereofore I try to don't
find out many things about you. If I can't meet with you it will easyer to
forget you if I don't know more about you. Think about it. If we haven't
any chanse we must finished our communicate right now.
>I would like for you to send me more photos of you.
I don't send it because I haven't it. I must to scan more of it. I can now
send to you 2 pics but one of it old (i'm in school) and second not very
good. (In new year) where I'm with axe.
>I think things could work out for us if you give them a chance.
I want to find out it Have we any chance or not?
Take care

Hello Maria;
We have a saying here in America that says Fool me once shame on you, Fool
me twice shame on me. I won't be fooled into sending money to someone I
don't know again. I told you from the start that I would know if someone was
trying to scam me and thats what you are trying to do. There are scam sites
all over the internet now, with girls photos and letters and the sites tell
you what to look out for. The first thing is that an honest Russian woman
would be to embarressed to ask a foriegn man for money, under any
circumstance.
You are wrong about the Virginia agency also. I can get train ticket for $44
not $100. I have to tell you that I have been writting a beautiful woman
from Odessa for the last 3 months and she has never asked me for money one
time. I even told her that I would pay her internet service and she said no.
She is an honest woman.
It's to bad a pretty young lady like you has to resort to scamming men. I
can't believe you don't know about the 4 people that got arrested in
Yoshkar-Ola for scamming people it was in the news papers and TV. I can even
give you the web site from your city where you can see this. I hope you know
that internet fraud is a big crime in your country now and the Russian
Authorities are cracking down on scammers because it hurts thier tourist
business.
I'm going to post your name and photos on scammer alert sites on the
internet along with the emails you sent me, so other men won't be scammed by
you.
Your story about not being able to leave your city because you have debts is
a lie. Someone can not be held in thier city because they owe debts,
besides, I know that the Russian people pay for everything in cash, so how
can you have debts, especially $350 to $400. thats probably a years salary
for you. Even though I make that much and more in one day.
I'm sorry this had to happen but you shouldn't have asked me for money to
pay your debts, especially with me not knowing you at all. I'm also sending
Friend Finder your info and they will put SCAMMER next to your photo on
thier site.
Don't write me again for I will not answer your letter. You messed up what
may have been a good relationship.
Robert
She has not replied to this email. What was funny about her letters is that
she would type my questions to her then reply to them, but she never did ask
me anything about myself. Here are 2 photos of her but the main photo she
uses is on FF.
