Hello, My name is Doug. I am 45 years old, divorced white American male, with no children. I am a marketing manager with a major telecommunications company.
About 2 months after completing
a profile with Absolute Agency I received an e-mail
from Elena Panshina. I had a correspondence with
a scammer just one month prior to this, so I

to see where she was going with this scam.
Within 2 weeks she was coming to

With every day I realise that I want to be your woman, that I want to be your wife. I want to give my soul to you. And... I know it's a
tradition when a man ask a woman about marrige. I want to break that tradition and I want... I

I am a single 49 y/o mail from upstate NY. I met this lady on
MatchDoctor.com. who clamed her name was Tanya.
She used the profile Fatewithyou67258. It only took two letters before she
started asking for money. After the second letter, I told her that I was
always cautious about sending any money and that I always check the scam
list on the internet. Never heard from her again.

Hello my Dear Friend! I'm very glad that among many ads you chose just mine! That you are interested in me Jim! I'm 28 years . I'm 170 cm in height. My weight is 53 kg. My small Angel is 2.5 years and his name is Nikita. Now I really live only by hope. Though many years I suffered from loneliness, I know that I'll find my wayout. Only Love can give peacefulness and joy. I do not look for pen- pal. I dream and family coziness. Honey, I want to share all kindness I have in my soul. I want to find my Only One and to be the only for him. In this uneasy and at once nice life we so much need the one who will believe in us and the main thing is to understand. To create own unique world without unsincere and empty - what can be more important? My family life unfortunately isn't happy, my Nice Jim. But I have nice child. Since I stayed lonely, much in life turned to me the other way. I learned to value simple human joys and stopped to take hurting trifles close to me. I look at future with hope for you, Nice. Surely it's very hard to be lonely. But I can't feel despair for my child's sake. The most happy time for me is when I spend it with my child. On the whole I like children. And they love me too as I can see. So I value my work much. I work as a tutor of children in kindergarten. I like my job very much and each day come to work with pleasure. I'll tell of my work in details in my next letter Jim. I wait for your letters. Send me please you photos my Dear! I want to look at your eyes! I kiss you All the best. Tanya

Hello my Dear Jim!
I'm so glad that you have received my letter. Thank you very much Darling
for the chance you give to me, chance to love and be loved and for the hope you put into my heart. I read a little bit
more about you, Jim, with a great interest. It seems for us both it wasn't
always so as we wanted. But now we have each other and we both can value
the most important things in life. Love and simple human happiness. Thanks for your picture. But, unfortunately I
can't open it. So, it will be really pleasure for me, if you try to send it
one more time. About your question about children. Now it's very hard for
me to grow up the child by myself. And I just don't think to have many of
them. Of course I like children very much.
But I'm sure all decisions must be taken together in a really happy,
friendly, and loving family. And no matter what the decision is, it'll
always be common, desired and thought out. I
want to tell you of my job. It's my second family . As the Love of these small Angels is so real and doesn't demand anything .I like to walk and play different games
with them. I seem to find myself in another
dimension. They have their own world - bright, joy and kind. It's
filled with loud child's laughter . I'm
grateful to them without limit that they took me to them and let to be the part of their world. Jim, I'll tell you a
little bit about my city. It's called
Tatyana Lebedeva/Natalia Bahtina
(Syktyvkar, Russia)
Hello, I like other men I am seeing am embarrassed to say I have been had by this woman , Tatyana Lebedeva, only, to me she is Natalia Bahtina, of Syktyvkar Russia, I am 46 years old,and I am still not sure as to where she found me in the first place, Anyway she took me for $2100.00 cdn after 8 months of writing to me, she continued to write 6 letters after I sent her the money. This woman is not only a thief and a great actress, she is a definite heart breaker that has to be stopped. What can say... We learn everyday...
After finding the
Russian embassy in
Wind Of Love Agency / Olga (Olenka) Kurchinskaya
I started writing with Olenka Kurchinskaya having initially made contact via a free dating site, her initial letter to
me was so interesting and well written I found myself interested by her.
Her letter came from 'Wind Of love' agency in
This message was
translated and forwarded to you by Wind of Love Travel Company.Please visit us at

Olenka's 2nd letter arrived, whilst she wasn't asking for money she did say:
And the last thing for this letter. I think you should know that my letters are translated to you. Though I've got the University degree it's in economics. I didn't pay much attention on languages at school or University. I never thought I'd need it. As I don't know English I found the agency that helps me with translation for some payment.
Olenka's 3rd letter included the following lines, why should she say such a thing? I hadn't said anything in my letters to prompt such a statement:
I feel that I'm getting used to your letters more and more, that is why it is important to me that you realize that I do exist, I'm real.
We exchanged 4th letters, Olenka still seemed amazingly interesting, saying the right things in her letters, telling me about her life, interests etc. Being constantly reminded by the agency I had visited www.windoflove.com and for as little as $20 I could assist with correspondence, $20 would cover the expense of 8 letters (4 each), I could afford to lose $20.00 so I decided to show a gentlemanly gesture. By now we had been writing for some weeks, letters continued however I was becoming more and more suspicious these letters were 'canned' with a few lines added to each to personalise them. My questions were now going unanswered despite reminders and in her letters Olenka would write excessively about something relatively trivial such as a movie she had seen, this is just an example, each of her letters now would include such 'canned' writings:
I also remembered
the movie that impressed me a lot recently.
The movie is called "Unfaithful" .Richard Gere is starring in it. Well, I love the movie
"Pretty woman", but Richard Gere wasn't really the reason for my decision to
watch the "Unfaithful". :-) The advertisement as well as the name
describes the plot of it a little bit. And I like to
watch love stories, melodramas. So we decided to go to see it with Sveta, one of my girlfriends. If you don't mind I'd like to write you a little bit about it.There is a happy American family. There are three of
them: a father, a mother and their nine-year
old son. They live in one of the suburbs of
I was becoming more and more suspicious with each letter and after an exchange of 9 letters over a 6 week period they eventually 'slipped up' sending a letter to me that was intended for another man. This letter was dated 16 October however it was the same letter that was sent to me on 24 September. Furthermore, the agency had written to me asking for more money, I wrote a short but polite note to Olenka:
Hello Olenka, I think either yourself or your agency have made a mistake ! This (attached) letter received by me last evening was addressed to someone named 'Mike'. The letter is familiar to me though because you wrote this very same letter to me on 24 September. I'm very sorry Olenka, I was hoping to meet a serious lady ! A short while later I received the following response, e-mail addresses have been 'doctored' to protect identity, I would have thought a more apologetic response would have been appropriate to a customer, obviously disappointed to have recently learnt his lady was writing to other men:
Hello M xxxxxxx <xxxxxx@yahoo.com> or yyyyyy@hotmail.com or whatever - you lost the girl who was sincerely interested in you.
Please bear in mind that my letter was addressed to Olenka, as Wind Of Love were to subsequently state they merely translate and forward. If this were the case they should have forwarded my letter to Olenka, who are they to involve themselves in the personal communications of 2 of their customers? Why should I have lost the girl? Who are Wind of Love to decide on Olenka's behalf that I have lost her? They didn't translate and forward, they reacted to it, they do not just merely translate and forward, they write letters also:
Dear Sir, if you have the problem with the lady, if does not mean that the agency did something wrong - we has been doing our work , people pay us for - translation and forwarding of the letters. They subsequently tried to explain:
If necessary we can scan all the letters from Olenka to you and send them to you - so you will see that she wrote all her letters to you.
However these duplicate letters include the same typing discrepancies, punctuations, the same everything, it is clear they are stored on computer with lines added to personalise or answer question(s), Olenka had told me she didn't have a computer thus it can only be the agency's computer, examples: Martin, there is one more thing I wanted to write to you. I like our correspondence a lot, I feel that I'm getting used to your letters more and more, that is why it's important to me that you realize that I do exist, I'm real. I care about learning more about you, knowing you better, and I want everything is to be clear between us. May be I'm too straight but I've mentioned that I appreciate honesty a lot. Please, if you have any doubts, share them with me. I will be sending you my pictures, not only the ones made in the studio (by the way, today I send you a picture of me with my girlfriends that was taken several months ago when we celebrated the birthday of one of them). And I wanted to thank you for sending me your picture. I get all your letters but if you want to make sure you may write my name in the subject. As for English, I don't speak any and I totally agree with you and know that it's necessary for me to start learning it. I was thinking about that myself. I did check the prices, and unfortunately right now I can't afford paying for the classes. I hope to meet your understanding and patience. I do care about our correspondence and it inspires me a lot to start studying and I will as soon as it's possible. Let me send you a small butterfly kiss with this letter…Let's see how good the internet is in transmitting kisses. :-) With growing affection, Olenka
