Anyone have seen her around again?

Comment from Terry

Maybe the men have wised up. I have not sen her around for a while, and that is great news. She is good at scamming people. Maybe she has enough money,,,my guess is not. Well will see her for a little while longer. Maybe not I do know the Rusian Secret service had her in their sites for a while. I think they wanted her money:) Good luck people.

Comment from Lucifer The Hunter

Well this was great reading - This face is still on a number of dating websites and Agency listings. You want to ge her; hook her back on line and take her all the way to the end. Then give her a fake 10 digit Western Union number and falsify your name. Tell her your last name is Inourascama or something stupid like that. Then let Western Union know about this. They will pick her up there and off to the Gulag with her. And guys - Berni is probably her. Many of these lovelies have started checking these sites. SO don't even respond to the messages. Hey Berni - shut your face and go play in the snow in Siberia. Your day will come very soon! Good hunting boys!

Comment from Dan

Thanks for your information. At one time she was writing to me. I am a bit older at 49 and of course was instrested but seen her name on this site and sent a her a picture that she had not sent to me yet. I then asked her if this picture was to be the next and of course I never heard from her. Also let me include some of the identical information that Doug received: I live in the city of Nizhniy Novgorod. Nizhniy Novgorod is located in 350 kilometers from the city of Moscow, Russia. Nizhniy Novgorod the big and known city. I began to get education in the secondary comprehensive school. After I finished it I entered the medical college. I finished it with excellent results and entered Medical University. At present I work in a small Dental polyclinic. I work as a dentist. We have a little collective, but very friendly.

Comment from Terry

Time to move on:o) I'll be in Ukraine in march so....this doesn't matter anymore really:o)Good luck to you and everyone else that got involved with this one, your doing better anyway I am sure Rudy:o) Good luck to everyone,,, :o) Take care everyone

Comment from Rudy

Terry, Forget this guy, he is not real! We just spoiled their scam, maybe they are husband and wife. They may have a problem starting up a new identity and want to clear Marina's, so they can start all over again.

Comment from Terry

berni, go to some other anti scam site and tell them maybe they will believe you..duhhh Do you sit on your brains or what? This is a Anti scam site that all the people knows this girl is a scam, regardless of what you say. There are talk forums about this girl too, why don't you try to convince those people instead, they say she is a scam too. Ohh yeah let me get this right berni you are the only one that thinks this girl is a good person, no one else. Like we can believe you anyway??? Take your lies and go some where else and try to convince another Anti scam site that she is not a scam. Get a life berni, searching anti scam site come on, get real!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment from berni

The real Tatiana (the girl on the photos) is not able to write or to speak English. How is it possible that she wrote some big loving letters to all these guys ? Tell me ,did she wrote to you in Cyrillique Russian language ?? And about the detective who search for this woman in Russia !! did he found her ? If yes ,I think he tease you ,because she don't live in Russia,man ...not at all!

Comment from Terry

Oh yeah, berni she is on the anti scam site because she is a wonderful girl, did you think about that?? She is real and never scams anyone,,,right. Well did you read this site or are you really that ignorant. Please take you stories about this nice girl to another site that is for them. This woman is not a nice person or she would not be on a ANTI SCAM site do ya think?? Well of course you think she shouldn't but no one believes you anyway,,,were on a anti scam site berni...remember Is that what you do berni go on anti scam sites and say this woman is a good woman, get a real life..ok

Comment from Terry

Berni, say what you want we do not believe you anyway, you are just like her all talk. She is what she is not matter what you say or think. You can talk about a meeting that happened only in your mind :o)Your credability here is shot berni, no one cares what you think anyway:o)Keep living your dream silly man or what ever you are. I do not what you letting people people believe she is not a SCAM, because she is for sure :O)Have a nice life berni, and try to tell the truth...ok

Comment from Berni

Comment from Terry

I will Rudy I am going to ukraine not russia kiev to a little town called lugansk.. It would be my pleasure to have a vegas visit, I am a native so we have people already for him :o)They take good care of idiots...lol They call them cactus fertlizer. Good for you Rudy, glad to hear you already are with your girl :o) I will not be with mine until March, not too far off :o)Just not too fond of people that act like we do not know what we're talking about, like Berni.. hey berni stop talking out your arse, we all know this girl at least as good as you..hey wait a minute maybe you are Marina or whatever else you call yourself today, and you are just tring to save face....ERRRRTTT Too late we all know you too well :o) Peace out everyone

Comment from Rudy

Terry, Tell me when you will meet them in Vegas, I round up some of the guys who have been a victim too, one of them is an Aussie, 6'2", 200 pounds. I suggest we give Berni to him :))) Anyway, my girl is arriving in Holland tomorrow! Be careful in Russia Terry.

Comment from Terry

Mr Volkov said that he is still researching this, they move slow in that country. This guy Berni is a real fool tring to make it sound like this woman is not a scam,,,Message to Berni, hello jerk off,,everyone in the world except you knows this woman is a scam. So tell you lies to someone else. This will be my last message to this fool. I have found a wonderful woman, not at all like this bitch you say is not a scam. Well maybe the money she stole from me was just a part of my imagination too, not hardly. So all I can say to you berni, keep your opinion to yourself, and do not try to make up lies about this bitch. You are lucky Berni you are not around me, I would beat you into submission, for that stealing bitch. I dislike you as much as her. I am still angry about the situtation she put me through. Anytime Berni. I live in Las Vegas, come and get your beating, I'll meet you at the airport :o) Tell your lies to someone that will believe them. you lie almost as good as she does. I hate people like you berni, no one believes you anyway. You are as bad as her. I'll be in Russia next year. I have paid a private eye and he has found her, so we will see what she has to say when we meet. Should be interesting :o) hope you are there berni, to make my trip more worthwhile. The only problem is she will be arrested before I get there most likely. Take care Rudy, too much huh

Comment from Rudy

Terry, Did you hear anything from mr. Volkov? I never thought this would turn into a saga :) Take care

Comment from Rudy

Mr. Berni, Besides "public" pictures which indeed maybe stolen as an identity theft, we also recieved "private" pictures. Mr. Berni, you are the second one trying to clear her, but the evidence is strong against our friend. :) She is all over the internet, with different data. I had contact with a number of her victims and she was in love with all of us at the same time. I am sure mr. Berni that you are in some way connected to this "lady". Maybe you two can share a jail cell and talk about the goold old days, when you made a lot of money decieving honest people :)))))

Comment from Terry

You are not telling the truth according to the russian authorties, so either you are lying or the Russian authorties are. Why do you now contact them with you story i have and a lot of other people have contacted them with the same story I have. You are most likely a friend of this girl and you are tring to save her face. Impossible to do, well according to Volkov of the Russina Embassy you are wrong, not according to me. I have reported you to him too he will investigate you too and check out your story. He said everyone elses story is she is a scam, so maybe you are the only one that thinks she is not. I do not have to inquire idiot you will have all the inquires you need from the Russian embassy if they believe you. obviously they do not. So stick to your lie, and shove it up your ass you fool :o) It does not matter what you say because everyone in the world except YOU knows this woman is a SCAM, and a CHEAT, and a lier just like you. My Volkov said he already knows where this girl is and will be having her detained very soon, so good luck fool

Comment from Berni

Terry ,your insults don't reach me. You tax me that I am associate with this woman for scam ? nie pizdi! I will make the light of this case. I know this woman,her family,her real name,where she really live,and her real job.Otchin kharacho. I'd never had any problems of nothing with her.You can honk your dogshit about me,it doesn't change nothing. I don't know her past...I will inquire about it. poka. Berni.

Comment from Terry

You are full of sh*t Bernard, you may be one of the people behind this with her, Because she is definately a scam, and her picture is definately her. You can try to lie for her we understand.

Comment from Anonymous

I forgot a thing :the English of Tatiana is poor.She speak just a few but cannot write in English. She write me in Russian cyrilic language (I can read it sometime with help of dictionnary). That's why I think that another people is hidden behind the photos.

Comment from Bernard (France)

I know this woman.I have meet her. She live in the city of MINSK ,in Belarus.Her name is Tatiana , I spend some days with her ,in her city.It was on last September(2005). She is not a scammer,no problems of money with her. I think that somebody have used this photos for denigrate or speak evil to her. Berni.

Comment from John

Hi Allow me to join the club. I was in contackt with Marina Penkina via email from July to Sept.05. She had sent 32 emails and pictures which I see are posted. She claimed to be in love with me and wanted to join me in Canada. She requested(to start)$485 USD for a visa and later another $450. I was to send via Western Union to Russian Federation 76 Stroitelei St apt.28 for Marina Penkina. I was curious as to how much a Visa would actually cost>>not that much I was informed but she stated that she needed medical etc and Russia was a hard country to leave. I had been skeptical all along and was curious how someone could"fall in love"after 5 emails. Did not send the money and played with her for a while .Told her I was coming to russia to see her thinking that she would stop the correspondance. Got an actual flight number and a date of arrival and the last word I recived from her was that whe would meet me at the airport in Nizhniy Novgorod. All this was after I discovered her scam on the internet(with the same pictures)Do not know who actually wrote the letters but some of them were very well written.Very descriptive.Great little stories>>she is good>>and a hot looking little bitch. Whats the status on her now??anybody know?

Comment from Terry

Well I sent everything to Mr Volkov last week, he has recieved it according to the reciept I recieved. Now I am sure it will be a waiting game, just like before. Unfortunately it is a slow moving process. He has enough imformation for him to pursue it if he wants to. That will be the question now. Does he want to. I am done with this too Rudy. I am glad you you :o) TIME TO MOVE ON. I found a wonderful woman anyway so it does not matter to me anymore. It's only a bad memory, needing to be over with :o)

Comment from Rudy

Terry, Great job, good for you you found someone nice too.

Comment from Terry

I met someone else too, so I am glad for you :o) Just had a phone call from this man today. He wants to go after her I found some files that were still good so :o) We will see what happens. He is a typical police man, has to have everything in front of him, he is not going looking. I am tring to get past this but do not want her to get away with it, if the police are going to help maybe she will get what she deserves. I'm still pissed when I think about it. He sound like he will help when he get my files :o)

Comment from Rudy

Terry, I handed over all info to the FBI and the national Dutch police force. When he gets in touch with them, I am sure they can help him. My name: R.A. de Jong Last week I deleted most files, it is time to move on. Met a nice lady, so for me it is history

Comment from Terry

Ok guys I need you help, Mr. Yerenliy Volkov from the Russian Embassy in the USA contacted me today. His address is 2650 Wisconsin Ave North West, Washington D.C. 20007, his fax number is 202-965-2280. My files on Marina have been corrupted. To be able to have him look at the case he said he needed emails and pictures sent to that address with records of money transfers if you have any. My files may not be accessible, I will check. If anyone can send information about aka: Marina Penkina, please send them. He is willing to try to prosecute her if we can get him all the information. No emails will work and he will not accept internet information. He is a by the book kind of guy. HELP

Comment from Terry

What was her screenname on the site she contacted you on...her name is most likely a new name Ukraine detectives have not record of that name. Do the picture look like the same girl?

Comment from Steven

I wrote yesterday about a woman with exact copies of letters from scam sites. I have her full name now Natalia Yedernikova Nizhniy Novgorod, Baumana str.8 apart.2

Comment from Rudy

Steven, Do not worry, she will get there. When I was mailing with her, she had at least 4 other guys on the hook at the same time, all asking them fro money. Good luck :)))

Comment from Steven

I have this woman on the hook, she calls herself Natalia. She contacted me from Match.com and claimed to be from Wisconson. Some of her letters are word for word with some on the scam sites. She has not asked for money yet, but she is "in love" with me after about 8 emails. There is a different photo than this one. If she asks for money, I will post it all. Right now, I will fuck with her for a while.

Let us all pray that the russian gouverment will wake up, and take a serious look at all the internet fraud that is going on. Arrest all the sexy sluts and send them naked to a deserted island :)) And we will all sign up to the Navy to invade this island.. Have a nice day ;)

Comment from Rudy

Owen, What site did you find her?

Comment from Terry

Her emails we have are all disconnected. If anyone has new address please give it to me, I want to check her IP address

Comment from Owen

well, add one more to the list. ..i was writing with 'Marina' from june 29 - july 29. She even spoke about coming to Canada. ..i'm just thankful to have found info on her from sites like this one.

Comment from Terry

Help me out Douglas, what is her user name? I will get her off that site too.

Comment from Rudy

Be glad you found this site Douglas, I think I have corresponded with about 6 men, form all over ht eworld, who were all mailing with her the last months. When you mail with her, she sounds and looks to good to be true, which she is.

Comment from Douglas

I first got an email from her on CupidBay.com. She gave me her email address: marishka_79@list.ru. She also signed the message as Natalya. The first email I got from her, her name was then Marina. She advised me that she worked in a Dental office. With in a few weeks she said she loved me and that she would like to meet. I just played along and told her it would be the end of the year. She had never asked for money at this time. I have since stopped responding to her mail and sent her the link for scams.

Comment from Anonymous

Finally elitemate.com has removed her profile, after I told them I had reported the matter and their name to the FBI

Comment from Terry

Me too Rudy I have tried too, it is like they do not care

Comment from Rudy

Despite several request to elitemate.com to remove her profile, they leave her posted and are not reacting on my e-mails.

Comment from Terry

I have also joined a few site with the hope of finding her, so far only found her once, but I am sure she is out there on more. I just want to help so she can not do this again.

Comment from Terry

I was not easy You see all of the wrong selections I have given. Just kept looking for her and found her face. That is one thing that does not change. I was very mad and wanted to figure a way to get even with her. This appears to be the only way. She is a wiley little snake I want other people to look out for.

Comment from Rudy

Terry, how did you find her?

Comment from R.A. de Jong

At present (17th of July 2005) active at: www.elitemate.com http://www.elitemate.com/myJsp/ viewProfile.jsp?id=ddewyshka79

Comment from Rudy

Terry, If it is Olga Timonina you are refering too, she not the same one, because I visited Olga in spring 2005 and stayed with her for 10 days and got scammed for apartment rent of $400 and I missed soem money

Comment from Terry

Hey guys check this out looks like her only a little younger,,Olga Novosibirsk.. you think this is her. do the www.uadetective.com search you will find her under Marina's name the 5 th profile

Comment from Rudy

Terry, I just filled a complain too, at the Russian embassy in Holland and the FBI

Comment from Terry

No problem Rudy to start with go to www.ifccfbi.gov that will start everything then you need to go to the US Embassy in Russia Do a google search it is easier. They will ask for all the emails and pictures, they use yahoo too so you can see em all.You need to first download them on you hard drive just save as them, to be able to send them. Then you have to send a fax to the Russian Embassy in the USA. you will find that on google too. If you go to uadetective.com type in Marina Penkina, some not all of the other site she was using will come up make complaint on all of them too. I made a complaint at elitemate.com that is where I met her. Tell me where she met you and I will make a complaint there too

Comment from Rudy

Terry, I guess you filed reports with the Russian authorities? You can have all my data and letters. I asked the wemmaster to send my e-mail address to all you guys, to be able to collect all the information and get it together. I intend to file a complaint too, so I would appreciate any info from you, like letters, pictures, copies of your complaints, etc.

Comment from Terry

I have filed reports with the US embassy in Russia, the Russina Embassy in the US, the FBI and the Ukraine authorties if any one need help to file a report just ask. this is the only way they can bring her to justice. Give me all the info you have and I will update all of the reports.

Comment from Terry

Rudy she contacted me on MARINCHIC_79@INBOX.RU I am sure she has many names and email addresses, the only thing is she can not change the face so we are finding all of the names and address that she tries to use.

Comment from Rudy

Found an alias of Marina, with the picture of herself First name: Natalia Last name: Aka: Elena Tatyanina Age: 28 Location(s): Nizhniy Novgorod (Russia) Address(es): unknown Phone number(s): unknown E-mail address(es): natusya77@bk.ru Report(s): Report N1 (added on April, 6, 2005) Hi i wanted to enclose this letter regarding a scammer named natalya who contacted me on my yahoo personal page. she is also listed on your site as Elena Tatyanina to Philip Look (USA), she obviously changed name and picture but same scammer. Steve Stribley (USA)

Comment from Rudy

Terry, I do not think Ingrid is Marina, Marina has a very specifc face. Kevin, be happy, you found out in time. There are many many honest and nice girls on the dating sites. To my surprise I received a mail (July 11) from our friend. It is all a misunderstanding and she never received any money. NEVER SEND ANY MONEY, NO MATTER HOW SAD THE STORY!!!!!

Comment from Terry

Looks to me she is or was also a SG or Suicide Girl. I think her name there is Ingrid. You guys tell me

Comment from Terry

She did love us Rudy for one thing our money. I was in contact everyday too. She is nothing but a scam artist. If all of let her she will continue to make a living off of us. This is why I have written to all of you. I would not make this up. And neither would all of the websites.The authorities where she lives have been notified too. She just worked us all like a boiler room, keep calling till you sell something. As long as she is stopped and arrested all is good. But until then WATCH OUT, she will have a day when all of the bad things she has done to people will come back on her, it is only a matter of time.

Comment from Rudy

I compared the e-mails I received with the ones from Phil, excact copies, written at the same time, same "exclusive" pictures. She was really in love with all of us. I communicated for 6 weeks with her, on a daily basis, till about 2 weeks ago. She broke off contact, after I confronted her with the scam and pictures at other sites, while she had always told me how much she loved me.

Comment from Kevin

I would be curious to see the emails. Wonder if we got the same ones and just our names were different. I do consider myself lucky and am glad that I did a little research. Thanks to everyone that expresses comments because who knows how many of us there are.

Comment from Terry

Well Kevin fell lucky you found her before she got you too. Trust me she is a scam go to uadetective.com type her name in and you will see. She ahs been noted to multipule sites. She acts like she is in love with you, when she is not. Ask her about Terry in Las Vegas. I send you all of my emails if you want to see.She has not asked you for money yet cause she does not need any YET. She has plenty trust me. As far a what you and anonymous said all I can say to you is YEAH RIGHT. IF YOU GUYS BELIEVE HER GO AHEAD BE STUPID

Comment from Kevin

I communicated with her for almost 3 months on a daily basis. I am not sure what experience anyone else had, but she NEVER once asked me for any money. When I recently discovered her on this website, I was blown away. Supposedly I was getting pictures meant only for me and yet here they are posted for everyone. I don't know who or what to believe. Thankfully, I never sent nor was asked for any money because I probably would have sent some.

Comment from Terry

The part that kills me if that Anonymous would go on to www.uadetective.com and Type in her fake name Marina Penkina they would see for themselves before making such a stupid statement, that she is OK yeah right I guess if you think thiefs are ok too. Do not even try to defend this fake person. Let her learn on her own what it is like being a criminal, cause that is what she is. She told me she loved God, Is this what God would do.

Comment from Terry

Nice try anonymous, she did not, you lie like a dog. She is a scam trust me. I have all the evidence where is yours.You are probably in this with her. Do not worry she will get hers in the end, Just like all of the rest of the people that mess with other people feelings.Hopefully her and your little game is over now.

Comment from Rudy

Mr Anonymous, Evidence is there, she takes the money and run. On all her profiles at the different dating sites, her data differs. You are probably one of the guys involved in this scam. We will hunt her down!

Comment from Anonymous

I know this girl personally. She lives in Moscow. I sent her money and she arrived to me. We have not liked each other and have decided to not be together. You mistaken in this girl. She very honored.

Comment from Anonymous

ound her (July 2005) on another dating site: www.rezfox.com (G012095)

Comment from Phil

I have also been contacted by this girl and so far I have received more than 17 emails from her and a number of pictures, some of which are not listed here. I have not let her know that I am on too her and we are still in contact, I was planing to go and see her however I had no intention of sending her money as I am not a complete tool, still it was nice while it lasted haha

Comment from Rudy

Terry, Do not feel bad, she had a good convincing story. Too bad for the money and hurt feelings. Too bad for her I travel a lot to east europe for business, know all about the procedures, I guess I was lucky. Do not give up, there are a lot of beautiful, nice and caring women on these sites. JUST NEVER SEND ANY MONEY!!! The chance that a decent Russian/Ukraine woman will ask you for money is almost 0%

Comment from Terry

The first time she asked me to send her money it was 590.00 for a visa. After she told me she passed the interview, She then sid the travel agency and the aircash department required her to pay for the ticket in Russia and that was 925.00 She then said that she needed another 1000.00 Then she gave me flights and dates of arrival and asked me for another 800.00 all of these amount I sent her. I feel like a fool but need to share it with someone. All of the money requests were sent western union.She made me thinjk she wanted to come here and be a wife. what a joke that was.

Comment from Terry

I have been hit by this one too, she is a real peice of work, claimed to me of being a dentist. We definately need to stop this one.

Comment from Rudy

Claims to be a dentist. After showing her the picture of the aka, she never esponded anymore.
