SPECIAL WARNINGS: 

Are you corresponding with a girl from a tiny rural town in Russia? Is she in love with you and wants a personal meeting?

 

 
 

Svintsova Maria

(uses the same letters as  Nadezhda Pirogova aka Polina Kuznecova or Kuznetsova from Samara)

Ufa, Russia

Tel: n/a

Address: Ufa, 246874, street K.Marks, the house 65, ap.78

Email: mashshsha@inbox.ru 

DOB: 25 y.o

Submitted: 04/17/05


She contacted me, that should have been a big tip off, but I was foolish. 

Everything started off pretty normal. I had been corresponding with woman form the Philippines (she had also contacted me, but it was through yahoo IM) and did not think anything about being contacted by foreigners. I was very hesitant to send emails to “Maria” as I did not want to get involved in another extra long distance romance. So I did not respond right away. Then when I did I back off for a while, not sure what I was getting into. I was sent many pictures, all of the same person, some younger, and one that was the first red flag. It was the ‘special picture’ to me. I read on your site and knew that girls would not give out pictures like this to someone they have not talked to all that long.

Well after my mind was made up that this was a scam I decided to just make sure and test this person. I send another email under as different address (luckily I can create up to 7 email accounts) and sent it out using the name Bow Shai well I got the same email I got form the first correspondence but the name was changed to Shai, not Bow and that is hope I finally convinced myself that this was a scam.

By the way I did send money, like a fool, but luckily it was only $200.00 and it was a small price compared to what other have been bilked for.

As you say and one day people will listen DON’T SEND MONEY FOR ANYTHNG!!!!

Hello Shannon
I am very glad to get a letter from you. So, how are you? I hope all is fine. 
May be you wonder why I have chosen your country,
I don't know why, may be because
I am disappointed with Russian men and
I decided to find my happiness at another place.
It seems to me that you are a very good and interesting person,
and I would like to know you better. I have never been in your country but
I have heard a lot of it and I would like to know more about it.
It my first time when I use the Internet to get acquainted with somebody.
I know the English language not so well, but I hope, that you can understand me.
I will write you a little about myself.
I am 25 years old, my growth is 167 centimeters (5' 6"), my weight is 52 kgs (115 pds)
I have dark hair and grey eyes.
I live in Russia, Ufa. It is not the big city, but
it is very beautiful and cozy. I like to walk on its streets, there
are a lot of cinemas, parks here and cafes here.
I love sports, i am fond of aerobics and I like very much to meet
with my friends when I have free time, but, unfortunately,
i have not a lot of spare time, as I work much.
Sometimes we go together on picnics. And do you love the nature?
As for me, I like an active way of life, I like to be cheerful and open,
and I like fair, kind, sincere people, that you for some reason seem to me such,
therefore I have decided to write to you.
I want very much to learn about you more. Tell to me please something about you.
I shall be very glad. Where do you live?
Than you are engaged? All will be interesting to me.
I am not engaged but I would like to find my love.
Tell me about your city, your interests. Thanks for your photo. I like your photo.

Hello, my friend Shannon
Thank you for your letter. I was glad to get it. How are you today?
I want to tell you about my work. I work in the bank, I am a cashier.
I will write you from my work, I work not every day (in a day) that is why
I won't be able to write you every day but I will try to write you often.
I like my job, it helps me to be independent and
I meet a lot of people there but I feel very tired at the end of my working day. 
As I have already written you I have a higher education.
I studied at the University, at economic faculty.
I studied English there and a little at school.
I wish I could speak it better but I hope you understand me as I understand you well.
Since i have started talking about work, tell me please something
interesting about your working day. It will be very interesting to me.
How was your day? What is your weather? It is cold here. 
I would like to tell you about my interests. I like an active way of life,
I like to go camping, I go there with my friends in summer, it is very funny,
i like it very much. I like sports, I like swimming and in winter I like skiing.
I also like traveling but I have never been abroad.
I hope someday I can visit Spain and Italy and some other places.
I like dancing very much! And do you like dancing? And I adore music!
I listen to different kinds of music, it may be classical music or even rock.
And what about you? I like good movies, it may be a comedy, tragedy, or love story.
My favourite American film is "The pretty girl" with J. Roberts.
(I am not sure how to write it). My favourite actor is Richard Gere.
My hobby is cooking. I like pelmeni (it is Russian dish, meat in 
pastry), borshch (soup) and different salads, I like also ice-cream and pizza.
What is your favourite dish?
Unfortunately, I should go. I promised to help my parents. They live in suburb.
And I live in the city, I rent the apartment together with my roommate.
I will write you later, hope to hear from you soon.
Have a good day, yours Maria

Hello, Shannon
I want to say you that I am very glad that I can write you.
I want to learn about you as much as possible.
I think it is very important to have person whom you can trust and tell everything.
Do you agree with me?
Recently I went to parents. I wrote you about them already a little. You remember?
They live in the small private house. My mother's name is Tatiyana.
And my father's name is Vladimir.
My father was an engineer, he worked in the factory and my mother was a bookkeeper.
I was born here and I had a usual childhood but after finishing school
I went to the city to enter the University and now I live here.
My parents are on pension now. They have a small garden near their house and they have a dog.
By the way, do you like dogs? I like animals very much, especially dogs,
I would like to have my own dog or may be even two dogs.
I like visiting my parents, you feel as if you are in the village. I love nature.
How do you spend time together with your friends? When I meet with my friends,
we go to the cinema together or we sit in I, and sometimes simply we walk in parks. 
But sometimes I prefer staying at home to walking. I like reading, or I may watch TV,
or merely listen to music.
1) I search for friendship which will develop in love on the Internet.
2) Yes you the unique person with whom I correspond. I chose men from 1000 suggested about your age.
And your structure has liked me most of all.
Well, I should go. Bye for now, Maria

Hello Shannon
I was waiting for your letter. I am always glad to get e-mails from you.
I like learning about you and I would like to know about you as much as you can let me know.
Tell me about your day. Now I want to tell you about my day.
I get up at 6.30 when I should go for a work.
My girlfriend with whom I rent the flat usually sleeps, she wakes up later.
She works at the post-office. Then I have a bath and have breakfast.
It takes me about 15 minutes to get to my job, I go there by bus.
My working day begins at 8. I like my job because I meet a lot of people, I accept accounts.
This work helps me to be independent, I can buy everything I need, clothes, different things.
Then we have a break from 12 to 13, I have dinner at cafe where I can talk with my friends
(I have some friends at my work, it is great). At 5 p.m. my day is over and I back home.
I like to walk with my friend after work, we can talk, go to the cinema, disco.
But usually I came back very tired after work and I prefer stay at home where
I can read or watch TV.
Tell me about your day. I am very interested in you and I want to know about you more,
I think of you and your life there more and more often.
I have a break now at my work, I can use one of the computers here, it is a pity that
I don't have a phone here which I can use to call you, I can do only local bells using this
telephone and I can't call in other countries, I would like to hear you, may be sometime...?
That is all for now, my break is over, I will write you later and I
will wait for a letter from you.
I miss your letters, I like reading them.
I could not receive your photos. Send me on one photo. Because it occupies a lot of place.
I want to give you my address. Russia, the city of Ufa, 246874,
street K.Marks, the house 65, ap.78 . Maria Svintsova. May be you can need it,
but do not send mail anything valuable.

Hello my sweetheart Shannon !!!
I read and re-read your letters and I am so happy I am able to
communicate with you. I want to tell, that I very much like to
communicate with you. You are a very interesting person, and I like your letters.
I dreamed for a long time to find such an interesting, clever, kind person, as you are.
It seems to me, that many women would be happy to be with you.
I am very glad, that you write me. I would like to say you how happy i am,
that at last i have found the man with whom i can easy communicate.
But I am afraid to bore you. I simply want, that you knew, that i like you very much.
How are you? I had a usual day, nothing in particular. But your
letters light up my grey week-days.
I told about you my parents. They are glad that I have found a man whom
I like but they don't understand how it is possible to communicate so
sincerely with the person whom i have never seen before.
But when I have told them about you, they were delighted,
that I have found such a good person.
They very much want me to be happy and i want it too.
I want to have not only my love but also my best friend whom I can trust completely,
who will believe me. I want to have my own family and I know that someday it will happen.
I miss your letters and you.
I need you. Maria.

Hello my Shannon
Yesterday I met with my friends. We were at cafe, we talked to each other and laughted.
They told to me their latest news, and I told them about you,
Girlfriends say that since I began to communicate with you,
I have strongly changed, They joked and said that I have fallen in love and
I told them that you are really a very good person.
I have a dream. I would like to jump with a
parachute from height of five kilometers. It may
seem to you silly, but I would like to look at the
ground from height of the bird's flight. Have you ever jumped with parachute?
I think it is so wonderful and you can get a lot of impressions after it.
In general, I am a very impressionable person, I love sunny days and the blue sky,
green grass and flowers. Adore to be in the picturesque places,
I like to float by a boat, to bathe, i like to sit at a fire under the
night star sky, with my friends a circle of friends.
Certainly, I prefer an active way of life. Do you like picnics?
If I want to relax i call to girlfriends and we together go to the cinema,
in parks, or on dances. In our world it is useful to have a rest after heavy days.
You know, I very much like engineering and
everything that is connected with it, but I have no
car. In our country incomes of the big
number of people are so small that, the cars
for them are still luxury.
Thanks for your number. I shall try to cause you in the near future.
I hope to get you houses. Only speak slowly and clearly.
I never spoke with the foreigner.
I like driving, I hope that someday I can buy a car.
Well, I should go now but I will be waiting for your letter.
Good bye, Maria

with me, I can be treated in your hospitals. When I shall make

put you in a difficult position. In any case, write me, whether you

It is fine. I very for a long time waited for it,

Hello my love Shannon
I have not received your letter. At you everything is all right?
I worry for you.
At us today solar weather. But at us still it is a lot of snow.
I do not know, when this snow will thaw. 
I yesterday looked on TV transfer about one pair.
The woman was Russian, and the man the Frenchman. There told about their happy life together.
They as well as we have got acquainted through the Internet. 
They communicated two months, then he has suggested her to meet, and she has arrived in him.
Then they could not leave any more. It was fine to look at this in love pair.
Then they together arrived to Russia and married.
Now they live in France, on the native land of the groom.
I liked this history.
I hope, as us with you will be such history. You with me agree?
The sea of kisses for mine Shannon. 
At you it has turned out to send money for the visa?
I wait for your letter.
Yours always love Maria.

The least letter is the letter that showed at least to me that this was a scam. I sent this from another emial account with the name Bow Shai and this was the response. The picture labeled Untitled-444.JPG was attached. I sent this letter from the account we had been corresponding on with this as a closing:

I think this about says it all...

I hope you enjoy the money I sent you. I am putting your pictures and name on some web sites black lists in hopes that you will not do this again.

Goodbye.

Hello Shai
I am very glad to get a letter from you. So, how are you? I hope all is fine. 
May be you wonder why I have chosen your country,
I don't know why, may be because
I am disappointed with Russian men and
I decided to find my happiness at another place.
It seems to me that you are a very good and interesting person,
and I would like to know you better. I have never been in your country but
I have heard a lot of it and I would like to know more about it.
It my first time when I use the Internet to get acquainted with somebody.
I know the English language not so well, but I hope, that you can understand me.
I will write you a little about myself.
I am 25 years old, my growth is 167 centimeters (5' 6"), my weight is 52 kgs (115 pds)
I have dark hair and grey eyes.
I live in Russia, Ufa. It is not the big city, but
it is very beautiful and cozy. I like to walk on its streets, there
are a lot of cinemas, parks here and cafes here.
I love sports, i am fond of aerobics and I like very much to meet
with my friends when I have free time, but, unfortunately,
i have not a lot of spare time, as I work much.
Sometimes we go together on picnics. And do you love the nature?
As for me, I like an active way of life, I like to be cheerful and open,
and I like fair, kind, sincere people, that you for some reason seem to me such,
therefore I have decided to write to you.
I want very much to learn about you more. Tell to me please something about you.
I shall be very glad. Where do you live?
Than you are engaged? All will be interesting to me.
I am not engaged but I would like to find my love.
Tell me about your city, your interests.
Your new friend, Maria
