# Original Report:  here

# Name:      Svetlana Dubrovina

# E-mail:     Sveta@pisem.net

# Address:  Ukraine , Makeevka

# Dangerous: 37%

# Details: I would like to report to you about Svetlana Dubrovina who is an obvious scammer and seems to working hand in hand with a scammer reported to you earlier by the name of Lida (Lidiya) Kurtutkina. Svetlana has a profile at Matchdoctor as " Sveta5" and her e-mail address is Sveta@pisem.net . Her address is Zheleznodorozhnaya str., 24/27, Makeyevka,Ukraine 83050. Svetlana wants me to send her $1390 by Western Union to her or to the manager of this travel agency, Lidiya Kurtutkina, so that she can get a visa, airline tickets and also passport to visit me in the United States. The travel agency that she is supposedly using is Donbass Travel Agency ( donbasstravel@pisem.net ) and guess who the director of this agency is, non-other than the scammer Lida Kurtutkina (See Report about her at http://www.russian-detective.com/black_lists/individ/new/ kurtutkina/kurtutkina_lida.htm and also report on Ella/ Elvira from Ekaterinburg, Russia at http://www.womenrussia.com/blackpage111.htm#bagriy ). It appears that Svetlana and also Lidiya have the exact same home mailing addresses where they live. They are also using many different photos of women to carry out their scams. Please make sure that their photos are well placed on your scammer wall of shame so that these people can not scam others. Sincerely, S.H. ( Scam Hunter )

Svetlana's First Letter - June 09, 2002


Hi XXX

I am so happy to receive your letter. Your letter has come the very first and I am glad, that I has awoke namely your interest. I think it will be interesting for you to become familiar with me more closely and thats why let me tell you a few words about myself.
I live in Makeyevka. It is very small town, which is situated in Ukraine. I live together with my parentsApart from the Russian I speak English a little. I don't know it perfectly, but I hope, that it will not stand for a problem when two persons are eager to understand each other.
I have a lot of different hobbies. For example, now I'm studying how to work with the computer. You understand yourself, that in the modern world it is impossible to live without knowledge of computer and at least one foreign language. Besides I like to have a good time most of all. I am very sociable, easy to talk to and affable person. That's why I have a lot of friends, which consider that I have a good sense of humour. I adore to meet with my friends and to visit discos and night clubs. I like to dance. I have been taking lessons of dances since six years old.
In general I like everything extraordinary. For example, I prefer active rest to passive. I like to climb on mountains, to attend picturesque historical places, where it is possible to find out something interesting. Most of all I like travelling, of course. I have a dream to travel all over the world.
I hope, that my hobbies are interesting for you. I want to know you better. And you? Tell to me about your dreams, wishes and desires. May be you are my second half, because I'm very gentle, sensitive, romantic and vulnerable nature. I'm very easy to be offended, and surrounding world is so severe! I need a man, who will love, preserve and protect me. I feel that I was born to make my darling happy. I am ready to realize any desire of the man, who will love me. I havn't met such man till now I passionately want to continue our acquaintance, and I hope, that our desires are agree. I'll be waiting for your answer with impatience.

Truly yours.
From Sveta with love.

P.S. Please, ask me everything you want to know about me. I'll answer you questions with a great pleasure. My personall email:

Svetlana's Letter - July 29, 2002

Hello dear XXX!
No news from you for two weeks, I began to worry that I've already lost you as a friend
& maybe...as a future lover & husband. But now I'm happy to realise that you want to know
me & didn't forget me.
You wonder how do i stay in such good shape...I think it's because of my active style of life.
I enjoy the sea & beach especially in moonlit night....
About leaving my family I must say that my parents
will not be against,because the life standarts in Ukrain are very low,people still
live in need and the wages here is hardly enough to make both ends meet.
All good relationships start as good friends,dear Michel, and seem to
stand the test of time when love develops later.
I feel as if I have a lot to offer someone and my life would be most complete
to share it with someone special. The more I learn about you the more I like you.
I see that you have the same passion for life as I do. I always want you to know that
I am sincere with you and I hope that you never question that. I know other people
can make a lot of promises that they never keep to you. I on the other hand have every
intention of knowing you. I love to travel and I want very much to your country.
I hope you feel the same as I. I think it is very possible to know someone so far
away and have a very wonderful, loving, and caring relationship. Commitment is the key
and not giving up. I have never felt so good about my decision to meet someone like you
over the Internet. I have no doubt that I am doing the right thing in my life.
If I felt this were the wrong thing to do, I would not do it.
I always try to follow my heart in doing the right thing and
I know that what I am doing is the right thing for me.
I hope you know what I mean and you have had similar feelings.
Anyway, I will end my letter for now and I will look for your next letter.
If you have something to ask me, just remember you can ask me anything you want.
I will look forward to it. Sincerely and Affectionately Yours,Svetlana

social status I understand that you can invite any woman, but you've
invited me and I appreciate this very much.

Svetlana's Letter - Aug 08, 2002

Hi my dearest XXX !!!
You cannot even imagine how happy I am!
You know everything is in our hands,darling!
I think you'll appreciate my eficacy!
I found the most reliable & best Agency here,
I found out that they can arrange me the tour to Germany
for 10 days.All papers arrantgements cost 720$.The passport
costs 100$,visa - 50$ the flyticket -570$.
As soon as I pay money they will start arranging documents.
I was asked if I have my bank account for you to transfer
money order,but I have not,so they also told me that the
best way of transferring money
is by Western Union,I saw a TV-advertisment recently.
It must be the safest,queckiest & convinient way.
There is an office of Western Union not far from my house.
Darling you can send either to my name (Svetlana Dubrovina,Makeevka,Ukraine)
or to the name of the Manarger of the Travell Agency directly .
I wrote her name on the piece of paper:Lidiya Kurutkina,Makeevka,Ukraine.
As for the phone, I have to pain you I do not have it at home.
I am very sorry, but in our country even in Kiev not every second family has the phone.
If we decide to talk the phone in future I ask the favour of my friend and if she allows me,
I will come there to talk to you. If you agree.
My days go by with you in my heart and mind every minute of the day!
With lots of love and a big long kiss to you
Your sveta

P.S. Reply me soon my angel,pleasssssseeeee
