Mamleeva Natalia

(report #1)

 

Balakovo, Russia

 

Tel: 

Address: 157-13 Lenin street Balakovo Russia 413840

Email: doctorsmb@yahoo.com

DOB: 25 Jan 1971

Submitted: 12/16/05



I am attaching her photos and some of her emails. 
Her date of birth: 25 Jan 1971 in Russian passport and on US Visa.
Profession: Doctor in US exchange program.
Lives: Balakovo
Address in Email.
Asked for $950 to fly to US.

She approached me and stated she was a Doctor who planned to come to the US, sponsored by US/Russian exchange program, US Government had guaranteed her salary, but Russian program managers had no funds for her ticket to US. Asked me to sponsor her ticket. 
Got suspicious half way through, but when she asked for the money, I checked out various sites, and there she was. She's good and getting more sophisticated. Forging US Visas to scam surely must be a matter for the Authorities in Russia.
Her boyfriend, just a feeling from her or his emails takes the photos and does the forging with documents.

I'll forward you copies of her emails.

Thank,
Carl

Subject: Hello Carl.


Hello Carl.

Great to hear from you again. Thank you for your letter.

Next week I will have some tests for exchange programm. So I am a
little nervous. I don't remember if I told that I apllied my resume
already and they took me into the programm. It means my level of
education and experience are right for them. But these tests are in
English and psychology. And I am not enogh good in psychology. ;-) I
am studying psychology and reading the books at any free minutes now.
Well, hope everything will be all right. Cross fingers for me. :-) By
the way I learned about crossing fingers from some movie. We say "pray
for me" in Russia. 

Carl it is really make me feeling closer to you when I read your
letter. I would like to know more about you. Please, tell me about
your family and friends? What is your daily life? And I will do the
same. 

To my mind if two persons want to have good relationship they should
have common ideas and goals in the life. They also should have some
comon traits. Certainly every person is unique and it is great. I
can't imagine all people to be the same. ;-) 

Well I better tell you something about me.

My hobbies... I have a lot of them. In another words I have many
things I like to do. 

I like different activity, some sport and outdoors. My favourites are
swimming and bicycling. It helps to keep in good shape and gives
energy. 

I love dancing. My mother was a good dancer in her youth and teached
me to dance almost everything she did. I also can play piano and sing.
:-) Really. I like it. 

I enjoy cooking. I prefer Italian, Russian and seafood. Soups and
salads are my favourite. I can cook great Ukrainian dishes. My
grandmother was born in Ukraine. Later they moved to Russia and my
parents met here. 

I like reading. I used to read fiction. Later in the university I read
a lot about medicine. Now I am interested in history and geography. I
like to read about animals and countries I have never seen. Natural
science is very interesting. I don't deal with the science. I just try
to satisfy my curiosity. :-) I love the BBC programms on TV. It's a
pity we don't have the BBC TV channel here. 

About having fun I like everything. My sense of humour is friendly. I
am very tactful and I hate vulgarity. From entertainment I prefer
movie, theatre, walking in the park, occasionally restaurant. I like
small cozy places more. My friends and I often go to the coffee shop
to drink tea and talk. 

I don't have a lot of friends. Just a few from my work and some from
the university and childhood. I like the people who can fill you with
some ideas or thoughts. Usually people talk about their problem but I
think it is not right. Everyone has his own problems and it is not
interesting to talk about over and over. Of course, I make the
difference when my friend needs problem solving. I like to help people
and do it without any intentions. 

Generally I like people and I like to make new friends. I met you a
while ago but consider you to be my friend. I am not afraid to be open
to people. I think the world is equitable. And everyone must be good.
;-) (Do I seem to be a theosophy fan? :-) Not at all. I just like the
idea.) 


I am so sorry to cut my letter. The time is over and I must go. 
I promise to write more often.

Yours truly, 
Nailia.

p.s. I attached the picture of my best friends and me.
It was the New Year 2005.

Your pictures are fine. I received it. Thank you.

 

Hello Carl.

Thank you for your letter. I like receiving your messages. It really
makes my day. :-) It is so great we both enjoy our talking. Your
letters mean a lot for me. 

I have some news for you. I have been working for last week in my
hospital and preparing for my travel. Last days were very busy here. I
had to arrange all documents and pass the papers to another doctor.
You even can't imagine what bureaucrats are the doctors. :-) I have
written tons of papers for last days. Fortunately I have done almost
everything. 

Regarding my travel I will come to New York first and we will contract
there. They said different hospitals offer various conditions and we
will make the choice where to come. It will take me a day or two to
arrange papers and then I will go to destination to settle in a new
place. 

Carl yesterday's evening I had a talking with my two best friends.
The closest friends of mine come to me sometimes to talk or watch TV
or a film in the evenings. We talk about my future. :-) Yes, it is the
hottest news here. 

I told them a little about you and our plans to meet when I come. My
friends think you are a worthy man. But asked me to be cautious. I
understand their feeling but by my heart I feel you are honest man and
you can't deceive me. 

We talked about my will to move to the USA permanently. Probably it is
too early to think about it but who knows. At first I want to come,
settle at the new place and meet you. Carl I found myself thinking
about you often. I know we are friends and it is OK. But my thoughts
about you come further sometimes. ;-) May I ask you. What do you think
about me as your possible soulmate? This is a direct question. And I
want us to be honest and trust each other. It is a good basis for our
relationship. 

As for me I can see you as my possible life partner from your letters
and thoughts. I believe you are the man with nice soul. The future
will show. We will have enough time to meet and learn each other to
make a decision. :-) 

I will tell you a little about me and my life here.
My daily routine is not interesting. I get up at 7 am and go to the
hospital, where I stay till 5 pm. As usual I take a bus to get there,
sometimes I go on foot. It is nice to breathe morning fresh air. 

I work in the hospital at a scientific research institute. It is one
of the best hospitals in Saratov region. I begin my day with a ward
round. Then I conduct physical examinations of my patients. The rest
of the time I consulate nurses and doctors, write different medical
certificates and papers. Also I make the report to the head physician
every week that takes much time to prepare. To be honest the medicine
in Russia is not good organized. They need too much papers and
reports. I deal with it the most time at my work. And I'd like to have
more practice. I think it is because we have free medicine. People
can't pay for medical service because of low standard of living and
from the other side it decreases the quality of medicine... well, it
is not about me. :-) 

I am back home at 6 pm. Do everything in the flat, cook dinner, read
something or watch TV. Two times a week I go to a gym to make some
aerobics and exercises to keep in shape. Sometimes I go to the library
and cybercafe to read articles and news and write you a letter. :-) In
other days I meet friends, go to the cinema or walk in the park.

Carl may I ask you a question. They said I will earn about $40 000
a year in the USA. Is it enough to live in good conditions and save
money? I don't know well your standards. Please tell me a little about
it. I know we have another incomes and prices here in Russia. I'd like
to have some ideas about how much different things like food, clothes,
cars, flats or houses cost. I earn little money here. But I am enough
satisfied with it. I live in my parents' flat and it saves much money
for me. I have a TV set and DVD player at home. I have a bicycle and
good skis. I can drive a car and I'd like to have a car of my own but
I can't afford it. To say the truth I don't need a lot of money to be
happy :-). I just need comfortable conditions and nothing more. 

I thought about my life and recent events. You know from my last
relationship with man I understood that the connection between man and
woman is very delicate. It needs efforts from both sides to be
supported and developed. You can't just date, make love and say words.
It is more deeper. My ex-boyfriend was a journalist. Some my pictures
were taken by him. He was more than just a journalist, he was a
creator. Our parting was not a tragedy. In the certain time we both
understand we are not together and decided to break it. I don't miss
him. It was the best we could do. Carl I don't know why I tell it
to you. Now I want to create full relationship and I know how to do
it. I will try to give all my soul to my man and I need his one for
me. Well don't get it too close. It is just my thoughts and I'd like
to share it with you. 

Carl I want you to have my postal address:

Nailia Mamleeva
157-13 Lenin street
Balakovo Russia 413840

I want you know it just in case I can't write you an email. Please,
don't send anything to me. I would feel very uncomfortable to
accept it if I would get them. Our postal system is very unreliable
and I don't want you waste your money. Carl also give me your
postal address, in case if I don't email you, I may send you some card
to let you know I am ok. 

Well, I must cut my letter here. Write me more. Everything you think and
you do. I like to read your letters.

Take care.
Nailia

 

 

Hello Carl.

I havn't written you for a while. I am sorry. I know I had to think
about you and just write you a short note earlier. I had a problem I
must solve before I write you anything. I know you worry for me.
As you see from the subject of my letter things doesn't smile at me. I
am sad and confused. I don't want to tell it to you. I know you want
to meet me. But I will be unable to come to the US by my own. I need a
sponsor to pay my travel. 

Carl I want to describe the situation in detail.
In my last letter I told you I would have a talking with Anatoly about
funding my travel by trade union. I met him and he said that our trade
union will not pay my travel. I asked why and how it may be? They
carry out this exchange program without funding it? He said it is not
right. Our government arranges traveling papers, visas, contract with
American government. They also pay salary and provide place for living
for american doctors coming to work in Russia. Travel expenses must be 
covered from local hospital budget or our trade union. My hospital 
refused to pay travelling and trade union can't pay for it too because 
Moscow didn't send money. Anatoly said it is because of the 
non-coordination of our government. 

I asked him what can I do? He said I can pay my travel by my own or
find a sponsor. I must pay only my travel to the USA. When I get there
I will be paid by american government.

Well, I asked him how much I must pay. When he said the sum I was really
confused. It is $950 USD. I knew I didn't have such sum and I even
can't borrow it from someone here. Anatoly was very sorry for me. He
said such things happen often. The government conduct some program
and doesn't fund it. 

After the talking I went to bank trying to get a loan. But when they
leant I was coming to the USA they refused to me. I talked to my
friends trying to find money but I knew they didn't have such sum.
This is my salary for 6 months. I tryed to ask for sponsorship in some
commercial companies but they don't want to deal with me without any 
profit. 

Anatoly said I need to find a private sponsor and I thought about you.

Carl I didn't want to ask you for any help. I wanted to do
everything by my own. But I don't have any other options. You know
my plane is on December 20, 2005.

I must be in Moscow with money by this time. I will fly to New York if
I have money and I won't fly in other cases. I have not enough time to
find money here and I want to ask you to be my sponsor. 

Carl I understand everything you may think about me. I hate asking
people for money and I always try to do everything by my own. But now
I really need your financial assistance. I estimated everything. I
will reimburse you this sum in one month. I also can pay you extra
money back. I will work in your state for sure. I don't know where yet 
but I'll try to be as close as possible. I will learn the hospital in 
New York city and I'll call you from there. I will earn at least $3000 
a month and I will have a place to live. You see I will be able to
return you the money. 

Carl you are the only man I know in the USA. I don't want to mix
our relationship and money. But I don't have anyone else to ask for
this help. I know if things even will not work out between us we will
remain good friends. 

I don't want to lie you and say that I love you. I can't say it to a
man I have never met. But you must know that I have the warmest
feelings for you and I want to develop them. You know what this travel
means for me. It is my only chance to come to America and start new
life. It also maybe new life start for you... or for us. I am honest
woman and I honestly tell you that I will never hurt you or cheat you.
I will be there for ten months. This is more than enough to make a
decision about us. 

Carl I have already told you about my plans for future. I want to
come to the USA, earn some money to start my own business and find
good man to love each other and enjoy our life together. I think I
have already found this man... Smile. YOU. When I heard from Anatoly
that my future ruined I was so stressed and confused. I don't want to
give it up. I still have my hope. You are the only man who can help me. 

Carl, be my sponsor! Help me to overcome it, please.
I will wait for your answer with all my hope.

Yours truly.
Nailia
