Submitted: 11/25/05
Hello, I would introduce myself as Mark Crawford
I found your site after a confusing series of emails from a young lady that claimed to be from russia and found she already had aliases on your site. I would like to ad my report with the names, pictures and letters she used. It is hard for me to explain all the emotional distress this has caused me. This woman (person) is very skilled at writing very convincing letters. And the woman in the pictures is so attractive it was easy to for me to want to believe her. I hope my report will help someone else before they are taken for money and emotional distress, embarassment, and wasted time.
She used the name:Svetlana Velishko, with the email sanka8rus@yahoo.com,
She Used two different emails in the introductory letter. hwvxq@pes.com.sg
(which she later claimed was a friend's that was helping her. I later tried it and came back invalid. And also
brave@realmeet.info
DOB Nov. 30, 1979 (My real name is Svetlana Velishko .I am 25 years old, my birthday is November 30, soon I will be 26)
Other names I found with the same pictures or similar letters on your site are:
Gerasmova (Gerasimova) Elena
Nekrasova Elana
Khikurava Svetlana
Zapirova Maria
Svetlana ZARIPOVA
Address: She said: . I live in Russia,town Tobolsk , house 124- flat 44,it is near
big industrial city Vladivostok.
Phone: I write from internet cafe here because there are not cafes and possibility to use internet in my town,we have 4 digital phone number and we can't call abroad Even to call in any big town here in Russia I have to order the call in advance
How did you find each other (web site name, agency name)
She contacted me directly through my email. She said she had a friend that had gone to the US on a work visa last year and had helped her find some names on a dating site. I suspect it was Faceparty.com. However my email is not on the site, if she had contacted me though the site I would have got her first message via Faceparty. I have been contacted by a half dozen other russian ladies through that site. I did not suspect the others were scams. I asked Svetlana many questions, but she never answered where she (or her friend) got my email. I had brief correspondence with a few of the other ladies so perhaps she got my email in that manner posing as someone else first?
Anything you found interesting or unusual about your relationships, her letters or her story
I found it unusual that she wrote first saying she already had a work visa and only wanted to meet someone to pick her up at the airport and to spend time with after work. I also found her photos unusually clear and she was extremely attractive.
It seemed unusual that she had very clear details about travel but that she would risk a trip without knowing even if she had enough money for tickets or a specific job waiting for her. It was unusual that she claimed to have little knowlege of the computer but was very good at attaching pictures and the file with the flight information.
What reason did she used to ask for money?
She claimed to have flown from Vladivostok to Moscow before booking a flight to my nearest international airport. Then when she got to moscow said the flight cost more than she thought and needed more money to buy the ticket from Moscow to the Kalamazoo-Battle Creek International airport. She asked if she could borrow the money and would pay me back within a few weeks of coming and working here.
What happened after she received/didn't received money?
I told her I didn't have $700 and would not send it to her if I did, because I only wrote to her for a week. I was still convinced she was genuine and said if she would give me more time to get to know her and save the money than perhaps I could help her. But she has not written since.
Have you contacted authorities?
No. I didn't send her any money and until I found her pictures and aliases on your site I was not sure she was a scam. And I don't know what authorities I should contact.

She had two jobs. From morning till 4 pm she worked in amusement park and after it she worked as a waitress in some bar till midnight. She was very tired of course but made very good money
there. It is special programm for young people who wants to work abroad and I think it is the right way for me ,I am lost here,and I think that I look pretty enough to find a better place .I want to repeat the same way,it is only my chance to meet to change my life.I am full of plans and different dreams.I have real blonde hair and blue eyes,sometimes my friends call me
Barby.to be fair I don't like this name . I think that you will be not disappoined to meet me in the real life! Well,I will close this letter and I do hope to get your reply. I will leave russia in a few days or so (I can't tell you everything exactly right now) and I would like to be sure that I have the man who waits for me there. I will work all day and I want to find a man to spend all free
time together to get to know each other better.if you have any interest to meet me I will be more than happy to meet you too. My be it sounds silly but I just don't want to be alone in the evenings,and I want to be sure in advance that somebody waits for

Hello my dear ---------,
thank you for so kind letter and for your photo, you are very handsome interesting man!!. you should know that I am not very good writer in english,please be patient to read my messages and see many mistakes.and I am new in
cyber space I am not sure I know how to use many things here in internet world! to be fair I think that ii is very hard to describe myself and one real metting is better than thousand words! in principle I am a usual girl. I think I should tell you about me, my interests,tastes and hobbies.I think I will tell you about things I want to know about you and you will know my future questions
. My real name is Svetlana Velishko .I am 25 years old, my birthday is November 30, soon I will be 26.I so much don't want to get older ,when I can see old women I am getting crazy to think that it is my future .I do my best to keep my youth and I keep my body well. In spite of all difficultes here I am trying to be in good condititon and I do a lot of exercises to be in a good
shape! I am about 168 cm tall (5.6) and my weight is about 54 kg. I've been told I look well enough , and I think that all women have their own beaty.I have two youngest sisters and it is the problem for us because we have only two rooms flat.you can't imagine what does it mean to be born in small town in Russia,there are not any chances to live well,to get well paid job.All
young people leave towns to search great luck in big cities but nobody waits for them there. I want to leave Russia, I know it sounds ugly but I know that I will be lost here like many young girls before me.It is not right place to grow children and have stable future. I think that in future when I know English very well I can work as fitness trainer I have certificate.I worked as
trainer for two years in Vladivostok but now those Gym is closed. My mother is my big problem too,she has great dream to marry me( she thinks that soon I can be too old to marry) and she wants to make me happy but I think it is only my business I am not a little child.I don't want to marry to have the ring on my my finger I know that much more important to meet the man
having the same dreams and plans like me! To be fair I am not sure I am able to explain all in first messages I want to say so much! I just want you to know that I am not afriad to work,I am fairly goal-oriented and I am sure you will be not disappoined to meet me in real life.I am going to spend three months abroad to work in any shop or hotel,agency will help me because it is
only the way I can leave Russia.I will have all documents to travel in a few days and i will travel to moscow then. From moscow I will travel to you and they ask me about name of the city i am going to work,if you don't mind to meet me please tell me the name of your nearest international airport!I will book my flight from moscow! I think it would be so great to meet my
man .I know that it is not so easy like I think but I think it is possible if I meet the man of my dreams and we are enough stubborn together. I want to love and to be loved I want to build our own happiness,only me and my man there. I don't smoke,I tried to smoke when I was younger. On occasions or with a good company I can drink some red wine. I try to care of
my body and face.I know it is all I have .My soul may have any itnterst for you later,I think so.I am not a little girl and I know that at first almost all men look at body ,legs breast and face. God created males such persons. Well,I think I am lost in my letter,I am not sure you understand my goals,please feel free to ask. I live in Russia,town Tobolsk , house 124- flat 44,it is near
big industrial city Vladivostok.Our town is so small (I don't know if you can find it on the map, it should be very detailed),they made submarines here before and all people had nice job but now there are not any arm orders and almost all people have not any job,many of them travel to Vladivostok every day to work ,it is about 40 minutes by bus! I want you to reply if you
understand my mind,my intentions,my soul,if not please reply too,I will continue my searching. Well,I will close this letter,I think you are tired to read it. and If you think that I should write more shorter letters please tell me. I write from internet cafe here because there are not cafes and possibility to use internet in my town,we have 4 digital phone number and we can't call abroad.
Even to call in any big town here in Russia I have to order the call in advance. and I would like to say please don't worry if I keep silence sometimes I have no time to travel to cafe! Please tell me more about you,your tastes,likes and dislikes .also I have a few impotant questions---- do you like strong drinks too much?can you be very drunk?very ofthen? can you be rude
with women? Well,I have to stop or I will write without ending.Kiss you !see you later. Svetlana! I am sending picture of my friend,I have told you about her! it was her idea to help me to meet the man on dating site! I have to go now.... my mom is waiting for me. If I forgot to write you anything please sorry I will write it to you next time. It was so nice to meet you ,KIss Svetlana!

I hate evil people and politicans I think theylike to play wars, I hate anywars.What I like in a man: faithfulness, honesty.

Svetlana!LOVE!
Honey hello!!!!!!!!!!!!
it is me,can you believe I am in Moscow.I can't believe ,it was
wonderful flight and they gave red vine in plane,wow,I have never tried such
tasty one!!!!!I will
visit travel office aftertomorrow because it is the day off
here(saturday and sunday) and I will get all info about my Trip then.
my friend helped me so much I am not sure I could do something without her ,it
is so great city
and it takes a few hours to travel from one end to other.They met me in airport
and I had not any problems .
They have nice car ,it is Toyota-corolla (from Japan and driver place
on the right ,it is so funny but I think it is not comfortable for
driver)-not new one (1993 ) it was so nice jorney from airport
to their flat.So comfortable car,I have never been into such car!I don't
remember if I told about her ,
She is Tanya and we worked as trainers in Omsk ,she has met men from
Moscow and they married,he is from moscow and they love each other very much!
they live poor enough because of so high prices here in moscow and they have to
rent flat,they
don't want to live with his parents I don't know the reason and I think it is
not my business!
and I think if they work hard they will have enough money later because it is
possible to earn
here in Moscow! NOw they have money to eat only,it is strange for
me,she has written letters that they live well,funny really .
you can't imagine how great Moscow is,to be fair I wouldn't like to live here,a
lot of
cars,people ,voice and pollution.Ugly traffic and people with crazy eyes.
When I get off plane in airport MOscow polisemen asked about passport and
they looked at me
like I am any enemy.they don't like foreign visitors I mean from small
town they think that they are so important to live here,I have heard
about it many times and now I can see it.I am not sure how but they
can see that I am not from moscow!
Tanya tells me that it is great risk
to travel abroad without right knowelege and it is like any adventure.
She tells that I can find good job here in Moscow with help of her husband and
she tells that I am not right to travel to you because everything is not so easy
like I think,
they have much more info here about world's life and she tells me ugly stories
about young women
who wanted to get new life and now they must work as prostitutes.
I think people living in Moscow are very caution,I think so. and look
at their life I wouldn't like to stay here because it is almost the
same ,only great city,but the same people and the same problems.
and I think that I have done my choice.
you know I am not coward I am not afraid I know it is my chance to meet kind man
.I do hope I am
right.
and I think you are too kind to make any bad things I feel it.I feel all and I
am sure that she
is not right.
to be fair I think she is a little envy that I am going abroad ,you know all
women envy each
other.
Well,I will close this letter ,!see you soon!KISS . Great kiss from
moscow!!!!!!!!!!Svetlana! see you on
monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Many kisses for my
beloved man!!!
I am thinking of our meeting only!!!!I made few photos here in moscow,
i hope you like it !!!! I am so excited and I can't think well,my head is
full of different thoughts!
P.S.Important thing,please confirm the name of airport,and your info
where I can call and ask you because I think if everything will be all
right I will travel to you in a few days!
------------ dear hello,
it is me again and I want you to know that you can't imagine how happy I
am.
I have sheldue of my flight.you can't imagine how much crazy
MOscow is. It is great fear to live here I think so!Our small town is more
friendly .
well,about our business,
I got my blood tested,such rule for foreign visitors wanting to visit your
country!Thanks God
I am in good health,
all of my tastes are all right,I only need some vitamins I think it
is the bad foods and long winters problem.I have to eat much more
fruits and vegetables.The doctor said!
