Hello,
My name is Dirk. When Larisa contacted me she first thought my name was Thomas because that was part of the name on my profile (Thomas***) Thus, the first of the letters were addressed to Thomas then Dirk later.
I was first contacted by "Larisa" Lobanova aka Andreeva Olga on
tickle.com.
I thought I would submit this because her letters followed a different format than the her previous letters on your website. Here are some of her new letters and some different pictures.
She never gave me her physical address only that she lived in Perm, Russia. I never sent any money. I have not recieved any more e mails after confronting her.
Thank you so much for the valuable service your website provides. It was a big help.
Sincerely,
Dirk

Letter 1
Hello there!
Well, it is the first time I'm writing to
some one but I hope it will works.
My name is Larisa, I'm 30 years old.
I'm looking for a friend and may
be more then just a friend. I'm
sorry but my profile does not say
much about me because I did not
have much time to fill it. If you are
interesting in me, please,
let me know and write to me at:
larkap@inbox.ru
Letter 3
Hello, my far friend Thomas!
I am very glad that you responded my short letter. I am sorry for my
late response, I just didn't think that you wrote to me back so
quickly. As I promised I am sending you my photo. What do you think
about me?
Now a few words about myself. My height is 167 cms, my weight is 58
kgs. I am 30 years old. I have brown eyes and dark brown hair as you can see.
I have never been married and I don't have kids. But I want to have a
strong friendly happy family with children.
Why I'm looking for a friend in the US? Because I know just two
languages, Russian and English, then I really want to visit the USA.
Certainly our city is large but it's such a problem to find a partner
here, that's why I decided to find my soulmate via Internet. I adore
foreign cultures and traditions and everything new is interesting for me.
I'm looking for a friend and may be more. It's all because
I'm lonely in my city and I know that I can reach more in my life than
many people think. Well, I never thought about a friend in the US but
now I think it is good idea to have someone far away from my city.
I have many interests like active sports, dancing, books, theatres,
cinemas, etc. What are your hobbies?
But my main hobby is my job. I work as a manager in a local building
company. I forgot to tell you that I live in Perm city, it is 800 km
away from Moscow. My city is located near the Urals and its population
is about 800,000 people.
I've been working for almost seven years since I finished the institute.
When I was a child I've always wanted to become an architect, but I didn't
became it but got a job of a manager. That's why I entered a build institute
and after five years of training I finished it with the diploma with honours
and I was offered to have a work in a local bulding company.
I hope that I've told you enough about myself for beginning.
I want you to tell me more about yourself. Where do you work?
How do you live?
It's very interesting for me to know your attitude to our country?
Feel free to ask any questions and I'll try to answer each of them.
Therefore I ask you not to get upset if you don't find my letters every day.
But I'll try to write to make it somehow. That's all for now.
I'm really glad you answered me. Your new friend from Russia,
Larisa.
Letter 7 - MONEY REQUEST, TOURIST VISA
Hi my Dirk. Thank you for such a kind and sweet letters.
I've been thinking a lot about you and me these days. I've been
dreaming how good it would be to meet in person and have fun.
You know I made up my mind to come to you.
I'm sick and tired of being alone and I want to have a rest.
Do not worry you can work and I can walk and spend time alone.
By the way, my birthday is January 22. What do your parents
and friends think of Americans? They think that American people
are good people but they do not like American government. But my
parents think that is good idea to travel to the US.
Today is the first day of my vacation. I am so glad and happy.
I went to my parents' place and spent some time there.
Today I went to work and reported on the work done. Then we
had a small party, drank some wine and toasted to my vacation.
I'm so glad I don't have to go to work. I'm off work for a month.
I think I'll be able to spend a week with you. But if you want I
can stay longer. We'll see how it works for us. As I told you earlier I
tried to learn more about how we could see each other.
This morning I saw my lawyer and he told me that he had sent all the
documents. My interview is on May, 18 in the embassy in Moscow and
that's why I have to go to Moscow. He said I would get a visa as my
documents are OK. He suggested I buy the tickets and show them in
the Embassy. I think I'd better do that in Moscow as they are cheaper
there. I applied for the tourist visa B-2 because my lawyer said that that's
what my lawyer told me to do. Its registration doesn't occupy much time and
it is the cheapest and the fastest way. I hope I can get the visa on the
next Wednesday, so, I can fly to you very soon.
I'll try to buy the tickets for the next week, that is May, 19-20.
Only few days are left and I hope we have a nice time together.
My holiday would last for 24 days. But I would like to spend only one
maybe two weeks in US. I already bought tickets to Moscow. I'll go to Moscow
tomorrow. I'm going by train and it will take 2 days, I'm coming to
Moscow on May, 18 in the morning I'll buy the tickets and I will go to the
interview. After that I'll tell you about my arrival (the time and the
flight number). I really want to be with you. I want to see you badly
and I can hardly wait for this moment. We like each other and we should be
together. I hope that you think so too. I've got a question, I've
counted the money which is supposed to be left after fees of viza and air
tickets, all in all around $1000 US, is that enough for my trip, I mean for
staying and living there for a week? I'll be waiting for your letter.
Take care and keep smiling. I hope to see very soon.
Your Larisa.
Letter 8 - MONEY REQUEST - "MONEY FOR BANK ACCOUNT"
Hello my Dirk! How are you? Hope you are doing ok.
Today was a bad day for me. Though I wasn't tired after the train I had
to rush the whole day. You know Moscow is a very big city and I don't know
anyone here. I miss you terribly and I can't wait till you and I wake
up together holding each other tight. I came to Moscow and went
straight to book tickets. All was going well. Then I went to the interview and this is
where everything went wrong. The woman in the embassy asked me about my job
and why I wanted to go to America, how long I would like to stay there. I knew
all this questions as my lawyer told them before. I said I would like to see
another country as I had never been anywhere. I told her I'd heard a lot about
America and decided to see everything with my own eyes. I said I wanted to
spend 2 week there. She said OK and approved of my documents but added there
are a lot of people staying in the country illegally. They work illegally
and thus do harm to American economy. She wanted to know if I was going to
stay and work in the country illegally. That was just awful. I told her
that I have a job back in Russia which I like and if I wanted to stay in America
I would everything as required. She said she believed me but I have to
prove my financial solvency and asked to show my bank account which would
testify to my ability to pay for accomodation, food, drinks and entertainment so all
in all $1500. I asked her when I would have to show this paper. She answered
it could wait till next Wensday, if I failed to do that my application would be
rejected. I left the embassy feeling as if I had had a cold shower. I knew I have
to borrow some money to show I have it and besides I have to change the date of
my flight so I started doing it. I changed the date for May, 26:
By Delta, Flight 31
Depart 1:15 pm Moscow (SVO)
Arrive 3:15 pm New York (JFK)
Then by Delta, Flight 159
Depart 5:35 pm New York (JFK)
Arrive 8:52 pm Salt Lake City (SLC)
and then by Delta, Flight 4759
Depart 9:30 pm Salt Lake City (SLC)
Arrive 9:54 pm Reno (RNO)
and then went to call relatives and friends from my city. Only my
parents and Natasha agreed to help me. I had $640 on me(the air ticket is very
expensive), my parents sent me $150 and Natasha sent me $150. So now I have $940.
But I have to show that I have at least $1500 but I do not have that
much now, so I need $560 more, yes, I'm really sorry that money influence our
future but we have to go through all this trouble to have our own life, I ask you
to help me see you, my Dirk, and if you could help me and send me this money we
could meet and I could hold you, my Dirk. I'm so embarrassed to ask you but I
think I have to. If you send me this money I'll put it on my account
and show it. Then I'll take it back from the bank and give it back to
you when I come to you so I need it just for few days and then you will have
this sum when I come to you. I really want to be with you and I hope to see you
soon.
Please, I want to ask you for this sum. If you would send me this money
we could make our dreams come true and I want it so much and I hope you want it
too.
If you can help me, please send me the money by Western Union, because
we have it here and both my parents and Natasha sent me the money through this
system.
It is very easy to send, just go there and all what you will need my name.
My full name is Larisa Lobanova. I just need to know the money transfer
control number and your full name and address to be sure.
A lot has been done to meet you and little time is left. I really count on you.
Well, I hope to hear from you soon. I'm looking forward to our meeting.
Yours Larisa.
Letter 9
Hello my Dirk, You know I have very good news, I called to my boss and
he has agreed to help me, he gave me $210 so now I need only $350 but
I can't find them. I have to ask you one more time about help, can you
help me? Dirk, please, believe me. I'm so tired. I could not think
that it is that hard to get a visa. Dirk, I really do not know what to
do. Well, I'll be waiting for you letter, many kisses to you. I really
count on you. Take care, your Larisa.
