# Original Report:  here

# Name:      Larisa Kostenko

# E-mail:     bssingles@farlep.net

# Address:  Ukraine , Odessa

# Seen at:   http://www.blackseasingles.com

# Dangerous: 37%

# Details: I would like to report to you about a scammer by the name of Larisa Kostenko and also her agency Black Sea Singles Company in Odessa. She lives or supposedly lives at Larisa Kostenko, Pastera str, 19 ap 36 Odessa 65026, Ukraine. Her DOB is 02/27/79 and she supposedly has no telephone at home. Her e-mail address is bssingles@farlep.net The reasons that I am saying that she is a scammer is because of all the misinformation and out and out lies that she has told me. She wants me to send her money to help with the costs of her letters and translations at this Black Sea Singles Company located in Odessa http://www.blackseasingles.com . The person in charge is Lyudmila Cherdyntseva . I would be very cautious in dealing with any of the girls from this agency and also this agency in general from what information I have found out. The reason that I became suspicious of her and her agency is that previously I had met another girl from this same agency and we wrote letters back and forth for a while and then out of the blue comes the money request letter. It was like deja-vous, here we go again. In going back over her letters I should have seen it coming after her talk about her poor wages and what little bit she earns which was all the precursor to the money request letter. The red flags should have gone up before but I did not see them at the time. I offered to pay for all of our letters and translations with another company that we both could use, as I told here that I already had an account with them and that there was plenty of money in it. They were also located in her home town of Odessa which was convenient for her. She of course did not want to use any other agency but her agency and would have nothing to do with this. I also had my agency deliver roses to her to see if in fact she was real. She is in fact real. It turns out that the home address that she gave to me was in fact the agency address even though I had specifically requested that she give me her home address and telephone number. It took her 4 letters of requests of her home address before she gave me what turned out to be the Black Sea Singles Company address. Photos were taken of her at her agency receiving the flowers. this is the first misinformation that she told me. She also would not give me her home telephone number after numerous request by me. She simply ignored my requests and never answer my questions about this. She did state in her letter that it would be better to use the agency to talk to each other because of her lack of English skills. I never did not send her any money to her or her agency and she would not use my letter translation agency which had plenty of money in my account. This was the other big red flag, as someone who is so interested in you, yet has financial hardships would not be so concerned about how you are able to send each other letters as long as you can still send them. It should not matter what agency you are using, as long as you can still talk to one another. This seems to be the new scamming method from several scammers, as they must get some sort of commission on the business that they bring in to the agency with gifts, letters, ect. In order for her to refuse my financial assistance that has to be an ulterior motive. This becomes very evident when they want nothing to do with you or your letter translation service as they will not be getting paid for their time and effort to write to you now (Please, never send money to any women or her agency. Always insist on using an outside agency that you can trust for letter translations or e-mail letters back and forth and you will eliminate any potential scammer immediately. They will always refuse to use your outside agency if they are scammers, as they will not get any money now from you for their efforts and they will drop you like a hot rock, guaranteed!) I did in fact have my agency track her down and it turns out that she does not live with her mother at all as she claimed to, but has her own separate apartment and also cell phone 380-67-486-1788. Her mothers address which she would not give to me is in fact 6 Komarova Str., apt., 29 and the phone number there is 380-482-66-1922. the mother would not give the agents her daughters home address, only her cell phone number (See report from Agency):

Hello XXXXX,
here is a long waited report about Larisa from Odessa

1. Our Odessa agents have established a contact with her ex-work and left there several messages. At the same time they managed to find an address of her mother Nina and visited Larisa's mother.

Larisa DOES NOT live there and her mother did not tell where she lives (that is strange and usually means that a girl lives with a man - otherwise it's impossible to pay for your own apartment for a young girl). Anyway after one month of every second day call to her ex-work and leaving messages for her + several visits to Larisa's mother - our agent got a call from Larisa and arranged a meeting with her in the downtown park. Larisa's mother address is 6 Komarova Str, apt 29. Phone - + 380 (482) 66 19 22. Her cell phone (by the way it's quite expensive option for Ukraine!) + 380 (67) 486-17-88.


Larisa was quite cheerful and nice during that meeting. She told that she remembers you, but don't like the way you've found her this time :-) Our agent explained that John just wanted to be sure that she was a real person. She told that her Agency is the best and she is quite happy with its rules and think that they are reasonable. She let you to call her cell phone, but her English is very poor... Also she told our agent that by her Agency rules she has to inform them if you call her directly. Well, she is a loyal soldier of her Agency :-)

So Larisa is a real girl that earns enough to pay for her apartment and a cell phone. The problem is that we don't know how she earns so much money. We can be quite sure that she lives not alone at her apartment (and that is the reason why she did not give us her home number). So I don't think you have to lose your time with her. May be this dating thing just helps her to pay her bills and she is not interested in a marriage. "

These are the facts about this lady and her agency.Please keep in mind that another girl from this same agency tried to do the exact same things and refused any other letter translation services and only wanted to use their own agency, the "Black Sea Singles Company" in Odessa. You can be the judge about her and her agency but it seems very "fishy smelling"
to me in my humble opinion. I would be very cautious about using them or in dealing with any of
girls from this agency.

Sincerely,

S.H. (Scam Hunter)
