1. Hi Stephen.
I was delighted when received your letter.
Thanks for the frank letter and good photos.
Well, I will tell about myself a little?
I grew up in the teacher's family. I was brought up by mother. The father left us when I was small. Mother doesn't tell me the reason, but I think that he left to other woman. I communicate with him, but it is rare. Now I am the adult girl and I don't feel need for it, but for the childhood I grieved very strongly.
I live separately from mother. My mother lives in the village. I rent the apartment and I live with the neigbour in the city of Kherson. I have no sisters or brothers. Only cousins.
My mother teacher of Russian. Therefore I decided to repeat her feat. And I chose this profession too. Only I loved mathematics since the childhood. Also I gave preference to the exact science. I appreciate my free time and I like to spend it with friends. I love sport and I like sports. I love fashionable clothes and shoes high-heeled. I like to look beautifully. Then I see admiration in the opinion of my pupils. I am fond of floristics, because flowers beautiful and gentle creatures. And I am similar to them.
I can't pass by homeless animals. My heart clenches from compassion. I try to help them and I teach my pupils to be merciful.
I hope that you will write to me still.
Maria.

2. Hi Steve.
My thoughts of you all day.
And then day passes quickly.
These are very beautiful photos.
I wanted to tell about semestrial estimation.
Simply incorrectly I translated.
My pupils from 10 to 17 years.
Your mother has a beautiful name.
How your Monday?

3. Good evening Steve.
How your health? Your cold?
13 dishes for Christmas are tradition.
I don't know an origin.
Yes, mother the teacher also doesn't get paid too. I will be glad, sat down you will be able to help on January 2. It is very good. You will be able to make it for me?
Thanks, it is very necessary for me.

4. Hello Maria,
I hope you had a good New Years Eve Party.
I have good news for you, today I transfer for you from Western Union to you money to the value of $400.
You can collect next day or 2nd January 2015.
They will ask you a question: what is my Christian name?
You will answer: JAMES
All should be ok, when you have collected from bank, I will be informed by a text, but it will be important for you to tell me in a E_mail yourself you have collected money.
The MTCN is : 5143649196
I hope you will enjoy your Christmas as well, but I know that New Years Day is bigger for Ukrainians.
Kind Regards and Best Wishes
Big hugs and take care
From Steve.

Honey, thanks for money!!!!
it is very much pleasant!!!!!
I want to kiss your lips long and passionately.

5. Did you receive the photo's and letters I attached, If not, I will send again.

She has recently also scammed a guy from the UK called Tim and another guy from Australia called Dan in March 2016, so this person is still prolific.

You can also see her photo's and blogs on the Typical Kherson , Type in if you register on the site Wall/VKontakte/masha shaveshukova, click below headline where it shows, her name in Russian, but don't get it mixed up with the dancer, Masha Shashkova. you will see all of her blogs dating back to 2013. you will need to translate her messages to see what she is saying to other people on the site. She always has her profile switched off, so you will need to register to see it.

I look forward to any other information about her, including whether she is the main scammer or is being used by a translator as a mule, this is what is most important. She also has a friend who works in the bank in Kherson city centre, she frequents the sushi bar called Naomi and the cafe called Scorini. Her address in Patona St is not too far away, but I am not sure if this is her real address, it might be just a rented flat for collecting gifts from victims, and she has received plenty of those, because she was the top hit on the dating site cuteonly.com almost two years ago.
She also drives a blue metallic Hyundai car, I saw in her photo's, whether this really is her car or just posing for photo's I do not know, but they were taken at the main Hyundai showrooms in Kherson. She also frequents the Market Fayre and the Fabrika supermarket, I have watched her movements for the last year or so from bit and pieces of information I collected.
I hope this information will be useful if she is the main scammer.
I thank you and appreciated your reply
Kind Regards.
Steve.
