Kirov, Russia

I'm sending you photos of a young scammer, says she is 22 years old, lives in Kirov. She contacted me at Yahoo! personals, using the name Kristina. She used the email kristina_motya@inbox.ru We emailed during August and September of 2004. I suspected she was a scammer from the beginning and tried to learn the truth.

This one is different from many others. She uses her own photos.

First, she actually called me and we spoke for 7-8 minutes on the phone at her expense.

Second, I asked her to take a photo of her holding a sign with my name on it -- and she did! This tells me that the girl in the photos is actually the scammer.

She sent the usual romantic letters, always with a personal note at the end. She asked for money to be wired to the name Kristina Matveeva in Kristina Matveeva .

Finally, I said I was not going to send any money but I would be happy to come to Kirov and meet her. She stopped writing immediately.

I'm sure she is doing a good business. Please help shut her down. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I have a dozen long letters from her as well.




Here are several of the letters:

with cruel intent. I want to give you introduce about myself. I'm very
simple girl, I like sport and flowers, like photographing, and as you

photos, because I lost the disk with my photos some times ago, and it
is just that I have now, it is around 10-12 photos. I like all
flowers, because I think they are beautiful. But off cause I have
favorite flowers, as daisywheels, lilies, roses and tulips. The
daisywheels and white lilies as the symbol of something clean,
immaculate, red roses as love and romantic, tulips as something warm
and unusual… You know, in the world is the science about what every

live in the little flat, but it is very clean and I like decorating my
home. Please, tell me more about yourself, what do you like to do for
fun? How you like to spend weekends? What about your family? Do you

have family, and it is not important how old are you, and you know,
you look great! I'm waiting your reply, and hope to know more about you. My best
regards, Kristina.

My love xxxxxxx! How are you my dearest prince? I miss you so much, that
now I absolutely have no doubts, that my intentions are very serious.
Thank you for taking the time to write me, If you only knew how happy
your letters make me. Thank you for being so sweet. Every day I find
myself, spending more time thinking of you. Every day, before go
sleep, I imagine our first meeting. How I will come from airport, and
I would see you at the first time. I really can't imagine how many
emotions I'll feel, because even thinking about it, my heart beating
is becoming faster and faster. It seems to me, that I did not want
anything in my life, as to meet you. My dear Prince, your letters are
pure inspiration to me. I want to see you, and tell you, that I miss
you more and more as the days pass. I want you to be my happiness
forever. A lot of time has passed, I feel nervous, because I think
that love has finally found me, can this be Love? Yes. My inner
feelings never liar me. I think of the future, many years from now and
I see you and me, together, married, our family, I know it may sound a
kind of silly, but it is my dream, you are my dream, a life by your
side. My dear xxxxxx, I wonder how will it feel to have you in my arms,
to kiss you, to love you. It makes me crazy, no, YOU make me crazy!
I can stay with you 6 months, then if I won't want to come back (or if
we'll be married), I'll be able to stay with you, and do everything
for new visa or something else from USA. I already got a passport, so
I have it, and I need only to buy ticket and visa. I need 330 $ for
visa, and exams for getting it. And I need about 1200 - 1400 $ for
tickets, it depends on a date of my arrival. I think, that we have to
divide charges, because my mother saved some money 400 $. My dear, so,
I need 1000 $. Now, may be I have to pay more, but for getting visa, I
have to pre-pay for tickets 1200 $. Honey, if you can send 1550 $ it
would be better and we leave mother's saved money  fund alone. But the
agency will not make visa if I will not buy tickets from them. This is
obligatory condition. I hope, that it'll be good news for you, as for
me, because nothing can prevent us to be together. I miss you so
deeply, waiting your reply, your Kristina.
PS I want to hear your voice too, please, if you would give me your
nomber, I will call you from the post, because i have onle cell phone
and this is too costly to talk with you by it.

Dear xxxxxxxHow are you my sweet love? I miss you so deeply! My feelings
to you are so big, that you can't imagine. But sometimes the love and
feelings are painful for me. What if I don't get you? I don't want to
think of it. You are only one man for me in the world, you have all
the things,  that I'm looking for and want to have. You are my ideal
man, and I'm sure, that you would make me happy.  My dreams are
becoming to reality, because of you. Thank you for this! If I could
give you one thing, I would give you the ability to see yourself, as
other people do, then you would have seen, what a dear and special
person you are...My sweet, I asked God for a flower, he gave me a
garden, I asked for a tree, he gave me a forest, I asked for a river,
he gave me an ocean. Asked for a friend and he gave me you. You know,
many times ago I had hear of love some words, that if you would love
somebody more when God, he will take this person from you… I afraid to
lost you so much.  Sometimes my eyes are full of tears, when I think
of you my love. You are my only Love, and will always stay in my
heart. I will always love you, today, tomorrow and forever. I will
never do something that could hurt you, never. I want to ask you, how
you imagine yourself our first meeting?? I want to tell you how I see
our first date. First, we will be dinning together, in a place (not
important in what place, because I will be happy with you everywhere)
where would be nice and romantic. It would be dark and candlelit.
After dinner, I want to dance with you slowly and I want to feel your
warm.  I want to go with you to the beach, walking together along the
beach and looking at the stars. I would also bring a blanket so that
we can sit on the beach, hug and kiss and watch the sun come up. I
really can't wait that moments!!! My dear! I was in the travel agency
this morning, and I found out all conditions of my arrival to you in
details. Frankly speaking, I was in shock! If I am able to pay for
visa with help of my mother, I won't be able to pay for tickets (even
for cheapest!). But I can't get visa without buying tickets in this
travel agency. Getting of visa is not a problem, agency takes care
about it, and they can get it quickly, but only if I'll buy tickets
there. My problem is only money. I feel so bad, I even could think
about, that tickets to USA costs on 5 times more, than tickets to
Europe. I really don't know what to do! I'm afraid, I feel scared by
my feebleness. Now I can only dream about my arrival to you. My love,
it's a pity, but if I want to buy tickets, I have to save up my year's
salary (and don't spend it even for food!)! I'm so sorry. I can't ask
you about something, I just can dream… I really want to be with you,
but I can't pay for this, please, understand me right! I wait reply and I hope that
fate would give us chance to be together, I send you my soft kisses
and please, take care my love, your Kristina.
PS I will try to call you today in the evening.

Dear xxxxxxx! How are you my love?  My travel to the village was
successful. I have spent time there well and with benefit. My parents
were needed in my help and this is the reason, why I left city for
some days. I hope that you was not too worried. I missed you so
strongly, that I did not stop to think of you for one minute! You
know, I just some minutes ago tried to called Dasha, but she was not
at home, her mom (woman who take the call) would tell she about my
call. You know, I miss you and your letters so much!
I find my soul mate (my future husband whom I will love with all my
heart and soul), my love is not be confined by the borders of
countries.  My greatest desire for you, my beloved and I‘m ready to
leave my life here and move to you. Without sharing these things with
the one you love, life would be empty and lonely. I really fall in
love with you, and you know, I can’t image my life now without you and
your love, your warm words and letters! I think about you every day
and night can’t wait our meeting!  Each time that I read your letters,
I find you more interesting, more loving and kind person, more and
more! With every day I understand that we will be so happy together!
Yesterday's evening I spent at home with my grandmother, we talked
about ours with you relationships long time, and she has given me many
advices, how correctly to build strong family. My grandfather has died
very early, and unfortunately I almost do not remember him, because I
was very small. My grandmother since that time didn’t forgot about
him, and tells to me, as they were happy together. I think she is
right in many things, and I will follow her councils. In many respects
she influences on me, and I’m really sure that love and care can
create and keep family and warm relationships inside family between
partners. I am so happy now, because you want to see me and I will
make all for our meeting. I am ready to begin process of getting of
the visa the nearest 2-3 days, all depends only on your opportunity to
help me, all documents are available also, and it is necessary to give
them to agency of travel only. I am infinitely grateful to you for
your understanding of my difficult situation. I’m regretting, that I
cannot provide my trip to you by myself, and have been confused that
is compelled to ask you about the help. I hope, that for you will not
be too difficult to send me of money. At the agency they told me that
the best way to send money is Western Union or Money Gram. I visited
the local office of WU and they gave me this information: Money
transfer:  amount Money amount should be send in words or figures. You
should write the full name of the receiver and receiver's full
address. You will need my address for this:  610000, Russia, Kirov,
Lenina str, 14 build., 24 app. For Kristina Matveeva (I think for WU
will be enough only country and full name, but send you all
information for be sure) I need
the full name of the sender and full address (I will need it). It is
also necessary to know MTCN (Money Transfer Control Number), it
consists from 10 digits and Expected amount.  Also you can send money
through a site westernunion.com, but in this case your credit card
will be necessary. You know, my love, this is impossible to go to St.
Petersburg for getting the money, at first because it is too far from
my town and too costly. If you will send me the money at this week, I
will come to you 1, October, because the time for registration and
getting visa 2 weeks as people told me in the agency.
Dear, I hope we will be able to manage with all this. Be sure, I will
do everything for us.  Hope to hear you very soon. I send you my warm
kisses and wish to open my eyes on day in the morning and see you near
with me….Yours, Kristina.

Hello dear xxxxxx how are you? I'm glade that you want to meet me and
I amde the photo for you, hope you will like.
I wait with impatience that happy day when we will meet. I want to
tell, that I am very grateful to you for your understanding of my
difficult situation and desire to help me. I am really confused the
fact that I should ask your about help. It is so pity that I am not
rich and I can’t afford such charges. If it was possible, I would try
to make everything for our relationship not depend from financial
questions. I’m really confused much, and once again I please you
forgive for my request for the help. You have not denied helping me,
and it once again proves that your intentions are very serious and
you want to see me very much. I hope we will be together very soon!
My parents are very glad, that all ok between us, and pleased me to
say you hello. They certainly worry that I will travel so far for a
long time a little, but they wish us good luck and hope that we will
return to Russia together and you would visit our house in village.
Now, there is so good weather! There are fresh air and sun. I was
there yesterday. My mo asked me to buy something in the town, and I
came there for one night. We watch together interesting film, nice
romantic story, but I don’t know the name, because I came there when
film started. Today in the evening I will visit my girlfriend, her
son have birthday, he is 2 years today. He is very funny and nice
boy, and she invited all family and girlfriends to celebrate this day
together. When I was in the toys shop, seller offer me very good
present for him ­ railroad. I think he will like this toy! It is nice
and interesting. When I was little I had my favorite toy ­ little
bear. I slept with it and also dragged it everywhere behind itself.
Now, this toy is in my living room at the village house, as memory
for my parents about that times when I was little. Dear xxxxx, I should
go now, but you know, I will be thinking about you all the time, and
I send you my loving kisses, with love and take care my sweet, your
Kristina
