Akinshina Tatyana (Tatiana)

Lugansk, Ukraine

 

Tel. - n/a

Address:  Zarechny Kv. 9/50, Lugansk, Ukraine

e-mail: Tatianaakinshina@hotpop.com

DOB: Jan. 4th, 1982


 

 

I would like to report to you about a scammer named Tatiana Akinshina and also her agency named Quest Agency. She is in fact real and her information is: Tatiana Akinshina, Zarechny Kvartal 9/50, Lugansk, Ukraine. DOB Jan. 4th, 1982. No phone number except the Quest Agency phone 380-642-344029. E-mail address is Tatianaakinshina@hotpop.com. She has profiles listed at Adultsingles as Tatiana (#ID D696219 and also at Matchdoctor as Tanyusha_a and probable many others

that I am not aware of at this time. The manager of this agency is Mrs.Irina Knyazeva.From other stories I have read about this agency, it appears that they are very clever and have scammed several people and will continue to do so.

(SEE REPORTS ABOUT QUEST AGENCY):

www.russian-detective.com/black_lists/individ/bugai_k/bugai.htm

http://scamalert.freeservers.com/parasiticagencies.html

Their girls are real, very beautiful and quite sexy and make very good scammers.

They are excellent at what they do best and that is scamming people. They do not do the normal type of scam of getting you to send them money for visas, airline tickets, and passports. I believe instead they slowly milk their victims over time with the cost of their letters, gifts, translations and what ever they may deem necessary. The reason why I say this about Tatiana is that she was so crazy about me until she realized that she would not be getting me to send her any money for her letters ( I offered her a solution to her money woes and to use another

translation agency for her letters to me and she wanted nothing to do with this (LOL). Once she realized the gig was up, it was time to move on to her next victim where she could "bear the fruits of her labor" so to speak.

Just a word of caution to anyone crazy enough to send money by Western Union or any other way to someone with which you have not even me, "DO NOT DO IT"! Instead, always get the ladies address and full name and use another outside agency that you can trust to send and translate your letter for you and your lady.

This will always show you if she is really interested in you or her bank account. If she makes up excuses as to why she wants to use only her agency and does not want to use  any other outside agency, move on, as she is not really interested in you at all. This is an excellent way to see her true motives and colors. Any sincere lady who is truly interested in you would not really care how she is able to send and receive her letters if she does in fact have financial hardships. If you are willing to be generous and help to pay for the letters, she should in fact be grateful.  Please read the following letters from Tatiana Akinshina which will show her true motives and why I believe that she is indeed a scammer and works hand in hand with her Quest Agency to scam innocent victims.

 

Sincerely,

XXXXXX

LETTERS FROM TATIANA:

1ST LETTER:

Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2002 14:03:06 +0300 

From: "Akinshina" <tatianaakinshina@hotpop.com  

 

Dearest XXXX,

Thanks for your perfectly lovely letter. What I especially liked about was that I felt that it was not "serial". I got so many letters from different people, but most of them were "serial" not addressed specifically to me. which was a bit annoying. Anyhow, thanks God I

came across a normal letter.

OK, I will start this letter with saying that I do not speak English.

 And sorry that I did not mention it before,in fact I should have mentioned it at the very beginning. The weakest point with me is that I hardly speak any English at the moment, so I am forced to correspond with you through the agency. This is translation and Internet agency, so please do not be worried about that, OK? But I myself feel that I am restricted to one language only whilst the rest of the world communicates freely in English. Hope you'll be patient here.

Yes, completely in agreement, meeting in person will decide whether there is chemistry between us or not, but can I suggest here that we should start knowing each other through letters, which could also be good way of making friends. At least I heard so many stories about people meeting each other on Internet and later making good couple. And I am willing to give it a try myself. Well, in the long run, you never know... Perhaps this will give us both a chance...

And thanks for the compliments about my figure. Yes, I try to stay in shape. I used to be in gymnastics and ballet, I quit it later, but old habits and healthy food ration are still there - with me. Yes, I also adore sea, unfortunately I was there only once - it was Black sea

coast. Needless to say that I could not afford travelling that much. Yes, you were right in guessing that I put a lot of thought into moving to another country as my own country is in complete mess at the moment. You can be a hero to stay here, but about my children? I do not want them to repeat this miserable life. I take marriage perhaps too seriously and think about my children. What do I make of Americans? I think people are the same everywhere, you can come across different people. But I think you are more fun, men are more hardworking, and women are more career-focused. I hope I do not offend you here. I think the women from our part of the world are usually traditional and believe in the commitment of marriage. I do not know. perhaps these are all tired pre-conceptions, correct me if I am wrong. OK, my postal address, I have to tell you that this is the first time

I give my address to a stranger, please understand, as I have said before, I got so many stupid letters. Hopefully my intuition will not let me down here. My address: Ukraine, Lugansk, Zarechny kvartal, 9 / 50. My birthday is January, 04, 1982. I am Akinshina Tatiana, a student, living in Lugansk, writing all the letters myself. And I am real... and serious... Hope just like you are.

 

Yours,

Tatiana

 

 

 

2nd LETTER:

Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2002 15:47:41 +0300 

From: "Akinshina" <tatianaakinshina@hotpop.com 

Dear XXXX,

What can I say here? Words are not enough!!! I could not a vague idea

about the reason you asked my address! Incredible! Nobody has ever

treated me like that! Thanks a lot. You gave me wonderful minutes of

utmost happiness. You know I should tell you the truth here. When I

read your first letter, I said to myself "another guy who would

disappear". I was not at least sure that we will have such a wonderful

beginning!!! You seem to know your way with women.

But you know before we go any further I feel I need to tell you

something.  And sorry that I did not mention it before,

in fact I should have

mentioned it at the very beginning. The weakest point with me is that I

hardly speak any English at the

moment, so I am forced to correspond with you through

the agency. This is translation and Internet agency, so please do not

be worried about that, OK? That's why I can not write as much as I

want to. Sorry for that. I  need to earn some extra cash and only then

can afford to write a letter. So my apologies for the delay.

And something more... I need to you if language barrier could

be kind of an obstacle for you. I personally do not see it like this,

but it's important that you would be of the same opinion.

OK, I will finish now,

And I will be seriously waiting for your reply,

Love,

Tatiana

 

 

3rd LETTER:

 

Fri, 3 May 2002 17:24:51 +0400 

Tanya" tatianaakinshina@hotpop.comTanya" tatianaakinshina@hotpop.com 

 

hello dear XXXXX!

Here I am again , your Tatiana, I hope I can call myself so ?

But I am sure that it is much better to trust a person and be intimate

with  the one who is not different to you. I do not know why i felt so

much attached to you . Maybe your attentiveness, or your gallantry ?

I can not explain to myself why i want to write to you so much . I do

not know what a magic flower you have thrown to me, I have definitely

caught it ! Thanks for all your compliments , I am very glad to get

them . XXXX there is a problem I do not have a home phone number ,

that is why we can only talk at the Internet office  here is the

number    380 642 344 029 , there is a time difference between our

countries so please think what is the best time for you to call and I

will be there to talk to you. One more thing is the date and the time,

I am open to any suggestions .

OK, a few lines about myself. I am 20, still the age that forces you

to look at life through pink glasses. I desperately wish everybody is

a little bit kinder in treating others, really well meaning. That

would make this world friendlier and closer and change it for better.

I wish I can find a guy, who would really need and care about me, whom

I would pay off all his efforts in return, who would become my real

soul mate in everything we would do. I am a student now, but already

think about my future. Try to learn hard, read more, get more

knowledge so as to perceive life objectively. All my life and family

values originate from the way I was raised by my parents. Now I live

with my mom, dad and younger sister. I try to keep fit - do a lot of

swimming and gymnastics. It helps me to be in good shape apart from

fun that I get out of it. I think i have a very special dream - at

least my close friends say that - to make good money and to set up an

orphanage for little kids. I presume charity, friendliness and

understanding - all the things that would always be returned in a

twice as much degree to you. What else... I wish one day I would

plunge myself into world-wide journey - would see new sceneries, new

cultures, new people. I love fun, love to entertain others and be

entertained. I think i am always good natured, i like to smile and see

smiles in return. I love to meet new people as it's always a chance to

learn something new. I would be happy if you tell me anything that is

new to me. At least you seemed to be an interesting personality and I

am really looking forward to talking to you more. I would be happy if

we both find out that there are a lot of things that are common between

us. But this is a real challenge, isn't it - I mean to investigate,

compare and imagine things. Anyhow, I am looking for such a guy, who

would have capacities for doing that, would wold be able to offer me

an interesting, full and meaningful life. Please, understand, I am not

the type of girl who awaits for everything to be handed over to her on

a silver platter. I am also committed to contributing so much to my

future

relationships, i think it's just the case of finding the right guy.

 

OK, that's all for now,

Fond wishes,

Tanyusha

 

 

P.S. I send you my picture,and as for the theatre , I am not sure that

I understand everything till the end ,perhaps TV is closer to me  ,

but I hope you will ask me out to the theatre and we will discuss all

the plays together , OK?

 

 

 

 

4th Letter:

Date: Fri, 10 May 2002 10:43:11 +0400 

From: "Tanya" <tatianaakinshina@hotpop.com 

 

Hello,my XXXX!

I was very glad to hear from you. You are very special for me. I feel

your soul deep inside, understand? At once we found tendency to each

other. I am always thinking about you. You didn't tell me nothing 

about

telephone conversation. Do you want to speak with me? The translator

could help us to speak in agency. Simply I want to hear your voice. I

want to get closer you to my family. I send you my photo with my

sister. Do you have photo of your family? Please, write more about

your family. Do you have any family traditions? I want to know more

about your habits. I want to know every little thing about you. I want

to feel your mood, support and love you.

I thought a lot about theatre. I never thought about it early. The

theatre - it's more, than cinema. Theatre - is real life. I saw a

wonderful theatre from saint-Petersburg "Yunona and Avos". How I wish

to go there with you. I like to know something new in this big world.

I think, I can be with you,I want to surprise you every day. I can be

only one for you.

I'll be everything for you: mysterious and only. You'll never stop to

love me.

I am waiting for your answer,my XXXXX. I want to hear word: "yes".

I send you my tender kiss with smell of morning dew and exotic fruits,

morning cool and light wind. It's the most tender, because especially

for you.

I miss you.

Yours Tatyana

 a bit to pay our correspondence? My income is very poor and I hardly

 pay for our letters. Hope, you'll understand my situation. Please,

8th LETTER:

(I sent her a registered letter directly to her home where she had to sign for it. I explained to her that I would help her for the total costs of her letters and that we would now use a letter forwarding agency that I had an account with which had already been paid for and had plenty of money in it to use. I would pay for everything and her only cost would be the cost of a postage stamp ( I think she can afford a postage stamp. I also told her that if she wished, she could still use e e-mail and send her letters in Russian to this agency and they would translate and send them in English directly to me by E-mail. This way, she only had to pay for a short time at the internet cafe which would cost her very little (May be $1 U.S. Dollar for an hour probably if that) 

Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2002 10:07:21 +0400 

From: "Tanya" <tatianaakinshina@hotpop.com 

 

Hi dear ! I am  glad that  you are a very caring person  and want the

best  for us, but how do you see our communication through the agency

 in XXXX, I will have to  send them letters and pay for the

Internet  access any way , you do not trust  me at all, how can  we

continue our relations,

bye

Tanusha.

 

 

 

 

9th and FINAL LETTER !

 

Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2002 14:45:17 +0400 

From: "Tanya" <tatianaakinshina@hotpop.com 

(I again explained to her it would not cost her any money

to use the letter translation agency and it she was really serious that it did not

matter how we sent each other letters as long as we still could send them. See her response below):

hello XXXXX !

I am  very tired of this and want  nothing, just do not want to

continue quarreling with  you about some unexciting thing,

bye dear .
