listening some music, dance. I am engaged is sports competitions, I play
tennis and I go to a swimming pool. I work as the seller of Articles of
food, and I like my job very much. but I grieve without the man with the

honour and intellectual man to divide(share) all of his trouble and happy

Her letter Requesting money [dated 7/20/01]:
Hello my love Richard!!!! Thank you so much for you nice letter! Well,
I looked for visa one else and to me it is necessary to pay 45 dollars
for the visa and 20 dollars registration and more it is necessary to pass
inspection in hospital X-ray and it to cost 100 dollars and more and more
registration of the documents, foreign passport, i.e. 350 US dollars should
suffice me. You understand? I went to embassy and at me was 50 dollars
and I start registration the visa, it is necessary to pay for it, I have
told, that I have 50 dollars and they have told well, give 50 dollars.
And me have started registration. I so have understood that for the visa
of this money will suffice, because to me so have told. But today I went
there and to me have told, that to me gave the visa that it to finish
registration urgently it is necessary to bring all those documents, i.e.
medical and other. I have told, and it is possible later in some days,
because I do not have not enough money to receive all these documents,
at me at once have shouted, have scolded and have told, that for you then
have begun to make the visa if you do not have not enough money, but I
speak, that the visa costs 45 dollars and registration a little more,
but to me have not explained at once to receive the visa, is necessary
that were applied all necessary documents, I has certainly apologized,
and has told, that I shall bring soon, one of these days. To me have told,
that they may wait about 5 days and if I shall not bring the necessary
documents they will stop to make the visa to me. And it is even worse,
that if I not shall have time, to me have told that may not make to me
the visa more, they will take offence at me, for my acts. But I promised,
that I shall make all correctly and to me have believed. Therefore I very
much ask you, try to borrow from somebody money if you now do not have
it, at the friends for example. Because to me now in such situation the
help nobody may, I searched already, but not any successes. Therefore
I hope only for you, you one to me may the help. Because I believe in
you, and in both of us, that all at us will be Ok! And I hope, that all
will be good. I know it. I ask you to send this money to me as soon as
possible. Please send to me 300 dollars in these 5 days. Ok? It's very
important. I wait! I want to tell that the money better to send by the
bank system called Western Union. This system is very reliable also transferring
money is carried out during 15 minutes. By the way you must send the money
on my passport data. Here is my data: NATALIA KUVSHINOVA, RUSSIA, IRKUTSK,
Sovetskay 58 - 25. After you will send money you in bank will tell ten
figures (MTCN, control number) and do not forget to write your full address
and full name which you will fill at sending money and should inform me
it. I wait your answer as soon as possible. Please, help me. I know, that
you good man and you correctly all understood. I wait you. See you soon.
Your forever Natalia.

Additional Information or Complaint(s):
2nd Complaint - December 2, 2001 - We received a 2nd complaint
that matches in full the complaint above. Appears she, he, it - whoever
is running this scam is kkeping themselves very busy. Be careful ! ! Photos
used for this second complaint are completely different
3rd Complaint - December 2, 2001 - I found this beautiful girl
-- Olga of Makeevka, Ukraine -- on their website (www.absoluteagency.com).
I'll even give you her profile number so you can go look at her yourself.
(Profile # A1364091). Just click on search and type in her number. WOW.
It's the infamous Natasha Kuvshinova herself... the girl on your PAGE
4 of your "Blacklist". Same photos and all. (I'm even sending
you another photo of her that her agency in Makeevka sent me after I contacted
her. Look, it's Natasha!!!) This agency in Makeevka... "Linguistic
Public Club"... claims that Olga is their client, and I should "contribute"
to her "membership" so she could continue to correspond with
me. She has sent a couple of very tempting letters to me with photos.
The letters are very "responsive" to my questions... not just
form letters. I was really hoping she was real... but then I saw your
website. This "Linguistic Public Club" even has it's own website!!!...
where they provide all kinds of legit services... like translation of
business and legal documents. So I'm really confused. Here is the website:
http://lpc-lingvo.narod.ru They have a street address in Makeevka. And
the head of the agency, Victor Melnikov, wrote to me also. Any money transfer
should be made to him by Western Union. So this scam might be by the agency,
and not by the girl Olga... aka Natasha. It could be that they just stole
those photos from somewhere else. But they sent me ones that aren't on
your site. The whole thing is so odd. This Linguistic Club has an address
and a phone number. I feel like flying to Makeevka and having it out with
them. Anyway, please check this out. It's fascinating if nothing else.
I'd really appreciate some feedback on this. And THANKS AGAIN. WOW. Sincerely,
Paul H.
It has recently been reported that these photo's are now appearing with
the name, Olga Uryeva and that she uses 'Matchclick' to find victims.
