    Alena/ Agency Love Scams

    Agency Love Scams


    Hello all ,the Ukraine scams specialising in fraudulent agencies, have been
    responsible for creating heartache for longer than Russian scams!
    I have posted an example to show the end result, when a victim is
    contacted through date sites or from fraudulent marriage agencies.
    The written English in Ukraine letters are very good, and the messages
    are individually replied to and slowly progress, indicating that
    translation is used and then out of the blue, fees are introduced by a company
    claiming to be the agent of the girl.

    These scams are well organised and they employ voice- part players for
    phone calls.This sample the pictures were from a South American singer/actress Who in fact has no knowledge that they are being used, to lure men into parting with money by an unscrupulous group of individuals, who's "profession" is writing fake love letters and talking lies on the telephone.

    First Letter

    Hello***!

    How are you? Thank you for your letter. I should confess I was waiting
    for it. I would be glad to have such a friend. Before starting to tell
    you about me, I`d like you to know that this is first time when I try
    to meet somebody this way. The main reason why I touch upon this
    question is that I want to say that I don`t have much experience,
    so, please, forgive me if I will write something wrong. OK?

    I am Alena, a young lady of 26 years old,
    I think you are interested in how I look like, so with this
    letter I am sending you my picture, and I hope to receive some
    photos of you. Don`t think anything bad, I just would like to
    see your smile. I live in Lugansk, this is a Ukrainian city, not
    the most beautiful, but still is rather big and so native. I live
    here from my early childhood. By the way, I live together with my Dad.
    He is rather old man and already retired. He has some problems with
    his health, that`s he can`t go to work every day, but he teaches
    children at home. Before he retired, he worked in the kindergarten. yes, I know
    it sounds a bit strange, a man working in the kindergarten, but still
    it was really so. Today he can`t go to the kindergarten every day, so
    parents leave their children at our home with my Dad, while they are at their
    works.In the other words, my is a 'nurse'. He loves children and knows a lot
    about treatment. As for me, I finished courses and now work as a
    secretary at a private firm. This is not a job of my dream, but still I don`t
    have a choice. Nevertheless, I dream to have another better one in
    future.

    I'm a very genuine, caring , lovely person and I treat people with the
    utmost respect and would like to meet someone who gives the same
    respect as
    I do. I like sports , listening to music, reading , swimming , going to
    the
    cinema and meeting new friends.
    I hope to find my soul mate, a man whom I could trust, whom I could
    share all my
    thoughts, worries and joys, whom I could spend all my life with.
    By the way thank you for the picture, you have very expressive eyes
    and the eyes are the mirror of the soul.
    I hope to hear from you very soon.
    Truly yours,
    Alena

    Hello Dear ***!

    I was excited to finally get another letter of yours. I was
    afraid that you would decide not to wrote me any more, because,
    as I`ve told you in my previous letter, I don`t have much
    experience, well, actually, no experience at all, in communicating
    such way. I am glad you want to continue with our communication.
    Thank you for the letter and for the detailed story about yourself!
    I appreciate that you like not only my appearance and it is very
    pleasant to communicate with you. It may sounds strange but it is
    really so.
    Thank you a lot for the wonderful pictures, I like you very much, you
    are very attractive man with a charming smile and very expressive
    eyes!
    Yes, I have heard about where you live ***, it is a part of *****.
    Is the climate very humid and rainy there?
    If you don`t mind I`d like to tell you more about myself.
    I has raised in good family values. I hope to one day
    have a family of my own that I can share those values with.
    I have a great love of music some may say my heart was made
    from music. I like to dance but I don't like discos and other
    crowded places. I dream to find out where in this world I belong
    and who I'm supposed to be with. I am looking for a serious
    relationship one that will last a life time or more like two life
    times, and if a family comes out of it maybe many more life times.
    Most important for me, I need this person, I will decide to spend my
    life with, to be a friend first.

    We haven't even sent that many letters and there is so much more to
    know about each other. But for some reason I feel that I speak with
    a friend I know for already many years. At the moment it feels like
    a dream and that scares me because sooner or later you wake up and
    the dream ends. I hope we continue to build this friendship.
    I would very much like to get to know you better, to learn your
    outside and inside world, to read about your outlooks on life, about
    your friends and people who surround you. I want to see the world you
    live in, to understand your way of thinking, of course, if you want it.
    I also want you to know me better as well, to ask me questions about
    anything you like. As far as most of all in the relationship I
    appreciate
    honesty, there is no such question I would refuse to answer.

    There is more I can say but I think I need to leave a little bit to
    talk about next time. One more thing I should add now. You know, I
    don`t speak English, that`s why I have to use the services of the
    agency,
    which translates my letters to you into English. I really hope that it
    wan`t become a problem in our communication.
    By the way, roses are my favorite flowers, how did you know that?

    Faithfully yours,
    Alena
