Just an update for you. This scammer natalia is still in full swing. I wrote back and forth with her a few times and she's still using the buy me tickets scam. Of course the scammer red flags went up and I wasn't suckered. The update for you is that there was an address on her email you didn't show. I was writing to her (it) through the addy shown as Natalia with the email addy lonata@pochtamt.ru hidden behind the shown name. Way to go on this website, keep up the good work.

UPDATE
2003-01-06

This girl also has an ad on LoveMatch and uses the name Lena. Her e-mail is dreamgirl@fromru.com.

UPDATE

I hope to find a man with which I shall conduct the whole my life, have a happy family. I want to do my loved person the most happy on the Land, if my man will happy signifies I too shall very happy. I believe in the sincere love and relations and hope that my searching will be successful.

Hello Eddie,
Thank you for the letter and photo, I very like it. I want find a soul person for who more important a soul condition than material. I not material person, so I searches for a person which has a rich soul! I am 24 yo, my birth day is 7 september. I have a graceful body of 165 sm (5,5), heigh and 54 kg (near 120) weigh. I like to take care of myself, my appearance, my face, my body. And, I believe, that a woman should always look very nice and attractive. I also to keep my body in shape as sport gives people not only health, but much energy and strength, when doing sports you are always in good mood and don`t concentrate negative emotions on yourself. I very love children, children - our future. Do You love children? I like people who have goals in their life and strive for them. As for my goals, at present I want to find my heartmate, the man who will be my best friend and best husband. Perhaps, you will ask me: Why don`t you find your love in your country? And my answer will be the following: I want my husband to be a foreigner, because, I don`t like Russian men, because they drinking much vodka and less romantic. A lot of women married and moved abroad for good and they are very happy, they say, Don`t doubt. I have got serious intentions to find a long term relationship with a mature gentleman. I want have relations with the older person than I because young men not serious about family and do not know what they want from the life, so I wrote you. I think, the most important things in the relationship between two loving hearts is honesty, trust, respest, faithfulness and love... There are many people who differ greatly from each other but all of them want to be happy. I think we should strive for being happy, because very often it is useless just sit and wait for your love. We should act but not wait something unreal! I hope you got interested in me and want have really a sincere realationships, if so e mail me please. I hope you have a nice day and I will happy if my letter add little warm in your day. Sincerly Natalia

UPDATE
2002-11-30

Her names are Natalia Lihtenvald and Natalia Chumeikina. She corresponds with me using the frst name listed.ADDRESS-Elgera Street 1 Apt98 Cheboksary Chuvashia, Russia 428000. We have been talking for about two weeks. She asked about visiting the U.S. That it would cost $980 USD for a visa and airfare. I was really lucky to stumble on the antiscam site. Along with other sites I noticed some key phrases in her letters. MY MOTHER WORKS IN A CHOCOLATE FACTORY and I ATTEND THE LOCAL UNIVERSITY STUDYING LAW Don't be fooled. I found those identical letter formats with other womens photos and names.

I recieved corrospondence with this lady for 2 weeks. She Poses to be a Red Degree Lawyer just graduating from University.

Shee first hinted that she uses internet cafe. Then the next letter she ask to visit me in USA. Then the next letter she tells how much cash money to send $980. to send to her bank and she will buy tickets and visa.

I searched Cheboksary and found the same exact Scam letters on your site that she is using. Thanks very much for having this service. I am lucky to be well traveld and did not fall for the scam.
