Mail order brides scam, international marriage scam, Russian women scam - let's fight it!

I read the stories of Scam and Blacklist women on the internet, and soon learnt the modus-operandi of the scammers. I was shocked when I realized that I have been smoothly being scammed by this woman, and her team. I challenged her, and quickly terminated the relationship which I built with such a great care.

These are her sweet emails below….

(8) Dearest Husband!!!!!

I visited this site before...I think that it is terrible....you know I have heard a lot of stories like that. There are agencies who write letters for girls and they even don'tknow that...I mean girls...This happened to one of my freinds before...she was crying because the man whom the aency wrote came and told this girl a lot of bad things , that he sent her the money, but she didn't even know that. The agency she went to betrayed her. She told me that when I was ging to give my pics and info to one of the agencies....she told me this story and I decided not to make such mistakes, that's why I am using a translator....who is the teacher in one of our schools...I do trust her...you know a lot of bad thigns happen over the Internet.

I am not doing that to do...how do you think that?????I love you ...what do you want me to do to prove it to you????

The passport should be ready shortly....it was not ready because of the political situation i our country......There were a lot of people whom the government didn't allow to go abroad...That's why the government waited with the applications for the passports of the young girls like me.You can check that.Please, dear, don't think bad of me ...it is killing me......It hurts....please...I am your future wife and I don't want yu to think bad of me ....I do loove you a lot!!!!!!!!I know that you trust me....right???

There are a lot of agencies who sent girls to other countries for the prostitution, I have even heard that a man tricked a woman, he told her that he would marry her, but he sold her as a prostitute in Turkey...have you ehard this story????

I am all sad now.....I need you to tell me that eveerythign s ok and that you love me ....

I am all yours...I am your little Katyu...remember that/????

I love you,

Yours,

Katyu:)

Thanks a lotfor your letter and for your warm words, I love you so much and I am happy to know that you love me too, I was quite sad when I was wiriting yo my last letter , now I feel much better!!!

I talked to a friend who lent me the money and she agreed that I can give them back to her the end of the next week , on Friday , but I think that I should buy some chocolates for her for her kindness. She also told me that I should give her the money only on Friday , bcause her family will need the money for something, so I hope that everything will be all right.

I miss you today, I don't feel good , I stayed at home today , thinking of you and our future..you knw I am sure that we will overcome all the difficulties and we'll be happy together..I am sure!!!!!What about you??? You told me that you were not planning to marry again.....and that you changed your mind...you know , I never know that I will love you so much too...I never had such relationship when we are so far away from each other....but you know dear, I don't need anybody..only you....you are the love of all my life.....I love you!!!!!!

Dearest Ratulchik, my mom told me today that we have to pay for the heating this month. I hope that you will help me with that too.;)

I saw a dream today....you ane me......we were riding bycicles somewhere , the place I don't recognise. We were laughing and were very happy..I woke up in the morning with the feeling of love to you......I cant imagine my life wthout you now......You are my life......

I think that nobody will help me in the future, I hope that you will be able to make the transfer as soonas possible...I am worried.

How are you ?? You asked me about my passport, it is not ready yet, because of the situation in Ukraine, a lot of people can't make passport in time because of the future elections....I think that you should have heard about that on TV.

(16) Dearest Ratul!!!!
I am very sad to hear that you don't trust me, you know people are different even here in Lugansk, there are a lot of agencies which scam not only men but women tol, I think that I have told you this.
I read a lot about scammers , not only women , but men also, some of them ask women to come to thier country, even mary them and then send them as prostitutes, I am afraid too, but I try to trust you because I love you, why don't you trust me ??? What did I do for you not to trust me ????I have only you, I don't write to anybody else, I treat you like the person I love, I catched a cold and you didn't help me, I weared cold autumn shoes when it was minus 30 here....do you think that if I don't love you I was with you????Think of that, please....I have sent you the pic of boots I bought for the money I borrowed and now you tell me that I have to wait???? I borrowed the money and where should I get it now to give them back??? Where???? I need vitamins because I was ill and what I can do???

If you don't trust me and don't wan to help me , tell me so, I am sorry , but I ill not be able to marry the person who didn't help me when I was ill......I would have done everything for you if you were ill...and you don't want to do anything?????

am crying,,,,you even can't imagine what you are doing to me.....I was so open to you, I told you everythign, because I love you and now you tell me that you don't trust me?????

I want to die.....I gave you all my love,,,,,I waned to make our life a fairy tale...but you try to spoil everything....What should I do to give the money back/???To work as a prostitute/???What ????
Think of that.....

You make me so sad and I want to die.....

Write me only in the case when you decide that you trust me and that you will always be with me.....
If you want me " to be patient" and sell myself as a prostitute, don't write to me...you hurt me so much!!!!!!!So much.....you can't even imagine......

Katyusha.


(17) Dearest Ratul!!!!!
I think that you decided not to love me any longer......I don't want to live!!!!!!

You let me down....I never thought you would act like that.....

Still lve you anf this love kills me.....

Katyu.

PS don't know what to do with the debt...why you told me that you would help me/?? Why you told me that you loved me ??? I am ill again....

(19) Dear Ratul!!!!

I see that you don't belive me any more....you believe sites, you belive everybody except me.
I will make you the pic of me with a paper with your name...do you want that??? Or I will send you the copy of my passport as well.

I was always honest with you, but you kileed me with all this......You killed my love...you are killing me slowly...My mom told me that you don;t love me because you didn't help me. ( I am not talking about money anymore) I will never ask you anything....I will do everything by myself.

I will search for a new better paying job. I am not sure if I can pay for my letters to you now. I never asked you money for the translations...for aniting I didn't do.I was always true to you.....
You have lost the woman who loved you....not for yoour help or the presents..I wil send them back to you.....Unfortunately I can't send the money you sent me ....I will sell my dress ( wedding dress) and send you the money back..I don't need anyting from you if you don't trust me and if you leave me alone when I was ill.
Crying,
Katyu.



(20) Dearest Ratul!!!!!

It is the saddest letter I am writing to you.
I know you don't want me any more, you don't care for me ....and the worst you don't trust me....

I have sold the dress( the wedding dress), also some jevelry you sent me and the photo camera.
I sent you the letter with the money inside.I didn't know how to do it by western union, that's why i sent it by post.
I know that this will ot change anything, but it was very painful for me to hear that you call me a swindler when I really love you and devoted my whole life to you!!!!!

I hope that you will recieve the letter soon.Maybe this will make you think of me better.
I am broken hearted, but I feel that I need to go on my life.....
You have lost the person who loved you more than my own life.Remember that!!!!!I needed only you...but you broke everyyhign with your suspicions.
