UPDATE
2002-09-06
I would like to report a attempted scam, in hopes that it will prevent someone from getting taken in by these losers. Her name is Oksana. I will explain the situation, I had an ad on a dating service Match Doctor with the hopes of meeting someone to correspond with (preferably in my own country) she replied to my ad, so I thought what the hell and replied back to her
I am not naive, I've been doing my research. I checked her ad(s) at the Match Doctor site, and there was very little in her profile (first alarm bell) Also in her profile It stated she had only a high school education, but in her letters she said she was a teacher with 5 years of university (second bell). There were to many quirks in her letters, and she seemed to be getting friendly too fast, also she never answered any questions I asked her (third bell). Oh yes, her ads in match doctor were... oxyoxyoxy,
oxyoxy1, 2, 3 & 4.
UPDATE
We received another report about this scammer:
Thank goodness for your site! The face has changed, but the name stayed the same! I have sent copies of the letters Oksana Moskalchuk emailed to me. I did not send her any money ever. But boy did she send me some good lookin' pictures! Fine looking woman!
She contacted me on Perfect Mate. Her E-mail is lovingbaby@yandex.ru. Tried to get money for visa.
Her Letters
Hello my dear Ben!!!
I was very happy to get some words from you.
I thought a lot if you will write me back or not. You have written and
I am pleased with it. It is not usual for me to meet somebody in the
Internet, but I think now that it is rather amazing. I do not know
exactly what I should tell you for knowing each other much better. I
think you want to know more about me. Where I work, what I do. I was
born in the city where I live now. I finished the school and then
studied at university. I graduated from the university with the
education of the teacher of elementary grades. Since then I work as a
teacher in the school. I like my job in spite of the fact that it is
badly paid in our country, because I love children very much. You know
that I was brought up only with mother. Now I want to give everything
I have to the children, for their future. I think I will be able to
find the man who will share all my bad and good moments of life. I
want to have happy family. You know maybe it is strange but I do not
have any boyfriend here. I do not want to have him here. I am very
disappointed in Russian men. I failed in love with one man several
years ago. I really loved him, but he used me for his own purposes and
then left me. I was in trance for some time and I did not know what to
do with my life. But I should stop these talks. I do not want to
remember that time. Moreover I forgot about it. Maybe it seems strange
for you that I share this theme with you, but I want to be frank with
you. I think that you will be able to understand me. Alright, as you
know the situation in our country is not very good, but we got used to
it. Moreover it is much better now then it was several times ago. Our
new president become to look after his people. My city, Samara is
situated on the Volga river as I wrote. It is not far from Moscow, the
capital of my country. It is approximately 900 km or 500 miles to the
west. There is very beautiful nature here and I like to be outdoor and
look at the charm of the nature. The weather here is rather different
in different seasons of the year. It is warm in summer and I like this
period, because I can swim and lay under the sun during the summer. It
is snow in winter here and I like this period too. I like skating and
skiing. I like my country in spite of all facts. But I do not have
experience of traveling to compare. I have never been out of my
country and I do not know if I want to go to other country or not.
Time will show I think. I want to say one thing. Maybe you do not
believe me, but I thought about you. It is first time when I meet with
the man in such way. I do not know exactly what make me write you. I
think it will be some feeling inside me which told me that you are
very good man. I do not know what exactly you think about me, but you
always can tell me about it. Tell me also something interesting about
you. Alright I think I should send the letter and go home. The
Internet cafe is rather far from my home. You see I do not have my own
computer and I do not have phone at home. So I have to use Internet
cafe services to write to you and read the words you wrote. At this
time it is rather difficult to take a bus to get to the home.
Sometimes you can wait for a long time on the bus stop. But I think
the thoughts about you will help me pass away the time. Alright I will
go. I will write you soon and I am looking forward to your letters.
Warm hugs, Oksana.
P.s. The photos in this and last letters were taken 2 years ago. I
will send you more recent photos.
Hi, sunshine Ben!!!
I am very happy today because I can read the words you wrote. You are the best what I have in my life. I am not alone now. I have you. I have written that the best part of my day is in the Internet cafe, because it is date with you. . I even can't find the words to describe what feelings I have when I get a message from you. Yesterday I decided to tell my mom about you. I was a little bit afraid to do it. The reason is that she loves me very much and of course, like every mother she worries about me. But I am sure that with you I will be feel safe and secure and that I have nothing to be afraid of. I told this to my Mom and read some points from your letter. She told me that she trusts me. And if I am happy, she is happy too. She thinks that you are a good, reliable, honest, kind and caring person. And she wishes us only happiness and good luck. But of course, only the meeting will show us if we really were made for each other. I am sure already that you are my second half . We really have much in common and I admire and respect you. Tomorrow we are going to visit my aunt ( my mother's elder sister ). She is the only one left in our family. My grandparents died and I miss them very much. I loved them very much. My aunt, her name is Katya, lives in the country-side not far from our town. She is 56 years old and she is often ill. So we often go to visit her and to help with everything we can. She loves me like her own daughter and always very glad to see me. I will write you after that. Today I cooked the breakfast and I wish to treat you with it. You know I like cooking. I like home food. I do not eat often in different cafes. After the breakfast I had the typical day. I went for work and was there until the evening. After it I went to the internet cafe and it is the best part of my day now, because I can talk to you so. On the weekend I usually have a rest at home. Sometimes I go on the nature with my friends. I like camping and fishing. Sometimes I go to my aunt and help her. I have already written about it. So I will close here, dear. I can't write you long letters because the services of the internet-cafe are very expensive. Take care. Kisses and hugs. You are always with me in my heart. Yours, Oksana. P.s. I send you the photo. It is not far from my aunt house. You will see on it that it very beatiful nature there.
Hi sunshine Ben!!!
I think about you. Maybe you can feel my thoughts. I really need to talk to you now. You have become the part of my life. I look forward for every moment when I can write you and can read your words. So at last I can do it. The only thing makes me sad is that you are so far away from me. There is big distance between us but I think it will not prevent us. My feelings to you become stronger with every day. I am afraid to lose you and I hope it will not happen. I want to share every good and bad moment with you and I am sure that you are always will be able to help me. I want to be near you and feel your warmth and care. I dream about it. This dreams make me feel happy. I do not need nobody except you. I hope that my dreams will come true one day. I think you want it too. I want us to be together, to make love, to enjoy the time we spend together, just to watch movies, to cook together, to listen to music, to go out, to do everything which is called - family! Well, I will better stop here, because I don't want you to think that I am weird. But I am really crazy about you. There is no minute when I don't think about you. Alright I promised to tell you about my visit to my aunt. My visit was not good, because I have one bad news. My aunt is very ill. She has ill kidneys. We do everything to help her. You know that I have small salary, but I try to do everything I can and I do not regret that I spend all my money just for her recovering. You know the medicine is very expensive here and sometimes I hate my country for such a hard life some people have here. Products, medicine, clothes, everything costs a lot here but sometimes people in our country do not get their salaries for several month. But I am not complaining, do not think so. I just need to share it with you as I wrote. You know that you are very close person for me now and when I talk to you I feel much better. And it is does not matter how much it costs to use Internet cafe service. The only thing which has matter is that I can talk to you. I love my mom, my sister and my aunt, they are my family and I want you to be the part of my family too, though you are already the part of it. Hope that you are not against of it. I thank the God that he gave me the opportunity to find you in this big-big world. I need to close here and to go to home. Sorry I do not have opportunity to send you the photo right now with this letter. I hope I will be able to send you it with my next letter. By the way I have cut hair as on my 3rd photo. I do not care about your tattoos. You should not worry about it. Take care, my dear and smile for me!!! Bye! Write you soon. Yours forever. Oksana
Hi, honey Ben!
You know that it is very important moment for me when I can write you and read your wordsYou know it is the best what is going on during my day. . I am very sad when I can not do it. I enjoy every letter I get from you and re-read them several times. When I wrote the first letter to you I did not know that I would have such feelings to you. I had hope that you were the good man and I would like you. Now my hopes have come true and even more and I am very happy to know it. I want to share my life with you, I want to be always with you, to feel your warmth and care. The God help us to meet each other in this big world. I am very happy about it. I feel that you are happy about it too. May be it seems strange for you, we haven't met with you in the real life, we have only letters which I cherish but I have the feeling that we know each another for ages. Hope you are not scared with all these and you understand me. I think you have such feelings too. The most important in the relations between two people, man and woman, love, of course, mutual understanding, respect and honesty. Two people should trust each other at first, understand, care about each other. His life will be my life and I will give him all my love, care and tenderness. Let's fantasy a little bit. Imagine:....... night, romance, we are alone in the room, we turn on the music and dance slowly. I look into your eyes, they are so deep and you look in mine, they are full of emotions. I see your lips, so soft and I want to kiss them. We love each other and the minute is an eternity... Or so... you are coming back from work. I am waiting for you. I have cooked a very tasty dinner and we are sitting at the table, you tell me the news, about your work and I am just listening to you. I don't need anything else. I just enjoy the moments I spend with you. Then we go to the living room and watch the movie. We are sitting on the sofa, hugging and kissing. Just the calm evening.. Or so ... weekend, we are cooking breakfast. After breakfast we are going to walk, we are having picnic, then we are going to see our friends and we come back home tired but so happy. In the evening we are alone. We are making love and the whole night is not enough for us. Tomorrow one more week will begin and it will be even better..... Well, enough with my dreams... Maybe you will not like such dreams but I hope that you will like it. Write me you thoughts about it. I am waiting impatiently for your reply, sunshine. By the way I think it is great idea to meet. I try to know what I will need if I come to you. Maybe it will be easier to go to Kuwait from here. We will talk about it later. Hot kisses for you . Your baby Oksana. P.s. I send you the photo which was taken this summer on the bank of the Volga. I am in bikini on it. I think you will like it.
My darling Ben!!!
As always I am so exited to read your words. I
miss you every second when I am not able to read your letters.
Everything was as usual in my life and nothing special happened. But I
have met you and my life changed. Now I have very close man who always
can understand me and make me feel happy. I have seen one American
film. It is romantic film Pretty woman. I think you have seen this
movie too. I like this movie very much and I have seen it several
times already. I saw this film and think about you and about me. After
it I went to sleep and I have a dream about us. I believe that you my
second half and the destiny helped us to meet. I think it is our
chance to be happy until the end of times and we can not miss it. I
understand that we do not know each other for a long time and we have
not met yet, but I have the feeling that I know you all my life. I
just know what I feel inside and what my heart tells me. I have
written that it is the first time when I meet through the internet. I
would never believe that I can have such feelings to the man I have
never met in the real life. But now I have experienced it and I have
believed in it. Now I think that everything could happen in this life.
I have met you and I do not care other things in this life. I trust
you and as I wrote you the closest person for me now. I need to ask
you one thing. It is very important for me. I need to know that you
trust me. I think that you trust me because you should not have any
concerns about me. I did not give you any reason for it. I do not
deserve it. I have only serious intentions about you. Just write me
that you trust me and that you do not think that I am weird. It is not
so. I am just very sensitive and sensual person. You know about it.
And you mean everything for me now. You can feel my thoughts even on
such big distance. Now I can not imaging my life without you. I will
better die than lose you. I know that my life will be empty without
you and I do not want to lose you. I will think about you and about my
feelings to you. Please be honest with me and write me just 3 words:
I trust you. Tell me your thoughts about it. Write me that you will
never make me feel pain. By the way my address is Russia, Samara,
Polevaya street, 125-40. But I think you should not send any money on
it. I think it maybe will be stolen here. The mail service work very
bad in our country. If you want you can send the money using bank
system Western Union. I was told that it is rather safe and quick way.
You can send money on my name. My last name is Moskalchuk. So my full
name is Moskalchuk Oksana. I will need your full name, home address,
amount of money and Control number (MTCN) which you will get when you
send the money. But you can do not do it. Take care, honey. You are in
my heart. Thousands of kisses. Yours forever. Oksana.
Hello my dearest man in the world Ben!!!
There is no minute when I do not think about you. I really need you now. I can not keep everything I feel inside me. You are the only man for me in this world and it is very hard for me to be apart from you. Perhaps it is very strange to have such feelings even without meeting but I want to say that I love you. Yes, I LOVE YOU!!! I hope you will not be scared with my words. I do not care that we do not meet in the real life. I just know that you are the best what I had, have and will have in this life. The thoughts about you make me feel happy. I want to be with you and I know that I will be happy with you until the end of times. I feel you with my mind now and I want to feel you with every cell of my body. I know that you want it too. The day when I met you changed my life and I am very happy about it. Now I have the man whom I love. I want to be with him most of all on this planet and in the universe. I want to be with him as his woman, as his wife, as his friend, as his soul mate, as his lover. I know now that you are the man of my dream whom I have looked for during all my life. Now I have found you and I need not anything else. I am sure that we will be happy together and I will do everything for it. I know that you will do everything for it too. I even have tears of happiness on my eyes now. I do not have words to describe feelings inside me. I am ready to do everything to be with you. There is no barrier which can stop me. Our love solves all problems on the way to each other. I believe that we will be together. I will cross the ocean just to be with you. I just want to see you , to look into your eyes, to touch you, to kiss you. I have remembered one moment from the film Pretty woman. She wanted to find the prince on the white horse and she found him in the end when He come to her place on the white car with the roses and in spite of the fact that he was afraid of altitude He climb on the high floor to her. I know that I have found such prince. I know that he will do everything to make me feel happy every second of my life and I know that I will do everything for his happiness. I will love you always and it doesn't matter for me what will be in the future. I will love you, you are the air I breathe, the reason for me to live. And there is no life for me without you. Please, don't hurt me and tell me that you understand me. Hope to hear from you very soon. Love you. Miss you badly. Yours forever. Oksana.
Hi my honey Ben!!!
It is so amazing to hear from you again. I love you most of all on the Earth and I am very happy that I can feel it again. I am crazy about you. I miss you and it is very difficult for me to be apart from you. I can not be apart from you . It is so hard. The idea that you there and I am here makes me feel pain. You are my life. I want to look into your eyes, to touch your body, to kiss your lips. I am sure that everything will be O.k. with us and the destiny will work for us and we will be happy together and forever. I often imagine our wonderful life together. I am on the 10th sky of happiness in this moments. Sometimes I feel you even on the distance. I feel your thoughts and soul. I feel when you in a high spirit and when you are sad. I have the same feelings as you. I am happy when you are happy. I am sad when you are sad. I want to be with you so much and I though about the ways for us to be together. So I tried to do something for us and decided to go to the Embassy to check what I need to come to you. So, to come to your country I need to make some paper work and to get visa. It will take some time, of course, and to pick up many documents from my side. But I will do everything which depends from me. But there is one thing which upsets me very much. I will not be able to do it without your help. You see, I need to pay for getting visa. And you know that my salary is too small for it. I don't want to complain but you know that we have a difficult financial situation here. I have the great desire to come to you, to see you at last, but I will not be able to do it without your help. I love you so much, honey and I don't want to lose you. Nobody can help me with it except you. Of course, I could ask my Mom to help me but she doesn't have such money though she would like to help us. I am honest and sincere with you. I hope that you understand me and that you will help me. I already gave some papers to them and they made a file for me. All I need now is to pay them money. So it will be, $45 for visa and $30 for registration, also I need to pay for medical exams - it will be $90, $60 for the interview, and I need to get a foreign passport, it will cost for about $50 and for some another expenses I may have. So in general I will need for about $300. You can send the money by bank system Western Union to my name. You need to send me your full name, address, amount of money and the control number (MTCN). You need my full name and address, so here it is, Russia, Samara, Polevaya street, 125-40. My last name is Moskalchuk. So my full name is MOSKALCHUK OKSANA. I have already written about it. Honey, I will need to pay them, so, please, try to send it as soon as possible. I really hope that you understand my situation. I want to see you very much but without your help I can't do it just because I don't have such money. I will understand if you do not want to help me but I will have big pain because I will not be able to be with you. Money is nothing but they help to overcome all the difficulties on our way to each other. Sorry, dear, if it upsets you. I just think that we need to trust each another and to share everything. Hope that you agree with me. Just imagine that in soon we could be together. And there is only one problem now which can be solved with your help, dear. I love you so much, you are the best in my life and our meeting could be the happiest event for us. I know that the moment when I will meet you will be the best moment of my life. Miss you badly honey and waiting impatiently for your soon reply. Your loving baby Oksana.
