Letter 1 I am a single, divorced man of 64 with 4 children, and I should know better.My name is Michael Hollands I live in Auckland New Zealand. After separating from my partner in 2003, I started using the internet to look for a partner. I looked a lot at Russian women, because they seem to be just that extra dimension more beautiful, and kept that beauty for much later in life. They also seem to be more determined to be a very good wife and mother? and offer to love their man for all time. They also profess to hold very strong Christian beliefs, and honesty and their faithfulness seem to be paramount. I was also aware that there were 13 million more women than men in Russia, and I read many stories in profiles suggesting that Russian men did not make good husbands for several reasons. I quickly became aware of the activities of scammers, and also of the existence of the ?Black List?. I corresponded with many scammers, and was intrigued to see their ?modus operandi?, and their occasional ?trip ups?. I also found another guy in the UK who had corresponded with the same women that I had communicated with. It was amusing to compare the letters from these women, especially when the letters to each of us was identical but with changed names. Sometimes these women would overlook to change a name in the body text, and it was amusing to find a ?Dave?, for example, in my letters addressed to me as ?Michael? Then I discovered Natalia in Kazakhstan. This lady has turned out to be so masterful that with all my wisdom, and experience at writing to Russian women, I was still taken in. We have corresponded for about 20 months? much of that time on msn messenger, where she led me on to this form of communication, and also the use of a webcam. Therefore we did seem to overcome the distance, and non physical nature of the internet, and many times we spent hours together on the msn site. I was completely captivated by her, and it seemed that she was completely in love with me. We even argued! The arguments were sometimes quite passionate, and one argument lasted for five and a half hours! Much of that was without webcam, and when Natalia finally came on camera to show me her face, her eyes were swollen, tears were running down her face, and her mouth was open wide in a scream of anguish. I am aware that Ust Kamenogorsk is an unhealthy place to live, and that there is a Uranium factory within the city. Natalia had to leap up and close the windows once, when I was talking to her, following a radio warning not to go outside. Natalia, started asking me for money. Her passport was allegedly taken from her for not paying her internet bills at the cyber caf?. She told me she needed her passport to get a new job, because her boss was sexually harassing her. Then her son was involved in a school chemistry lesson accident, and he had to go to hospital. Natalia told me that 14 children had died. He survived, but broke his arm in hospital. Natalia asked me to pay to help her with living expenses. Then she asked me to buy her a cell phone and a computer for her new job. I offered to send her a free cell phone from by my son who worked in the industry at the time. She flew into a rage and told me that she had paid $100 to hold the new phone for her for one day and it was not recoverable. So I paid. Then her daughter caught Meningitis, and ?nearly died?. We seemed to have a very caring relationship outside these demands for money, which always had to be sent ?Western Union? within 24 hours. I met her kids online, and her friends and her mother. I became very involved, and I believed that I was very much part of her life? and that she was a part of mine. Then once I was not able to send the money within 24 hours, and things dissolved into a ?shouting? match? online. I was made to feel very bad about it?and finally she stopped all communication with me, being ?deeply offended? at my ?treatment\' of her. She told me that another Michael, from the USA had proposed to her, and that she was going to marry him 3 months later. We ?separated? for a period of about 3 months, and then she came back to me as ?a friend?. I was sent pictures of her with ?Michael? from the USA. Then I learned that she did not marry him, and after a month, he had returned to the USA. So for a while we communicated as friends. Then she told me that she had just learned that she had cancer of the stomach, and that it was ?fatal?. Of course I was devastated, and started to send more money for treatment. I sent her medicine as well which she showed me ?on cam? when she received it. She seemed to get better, and we ?fell in love? again. It was my positive support, and love, (and money) that kept her alive, she said. She had 2 spells in hospital in Almati, and her friends would contact me and plead with me to send her money urgently. I also ended up sending money to her friend at the same time, as she had had difficulty keeping up the support to Natalia and visiting Natalia in Almati. This is already a long story, but it has served a purpose if this story has exposed a VERY competent liar, and a VERY gullible fool. But of course I loved her desperately, and whatever the cost, I wanted to continue to keep in contact. It was finally when I added up the lies that I had caught her out on, and simple mistakes that she had made, that I saw what was happening clearly. Of course I had often suspected, but never wanted to believe it!. There was for example that she was smoking when she was online about six months ago, although admitting that her doctor had told her she couldn?t smoke. She told me that she had just started smoking, but I asked her friend, and her friend told me that she had been smoking since she was in her early twenties, she is now 36. It was an elementary slip up, and she told me she was giving up shortly. Of course, she only needed to concoct an argument between us, and out would come the cigarettes again. I have to say that this lady is a genius with the use of the power of GUILT. And I suspect that the very best scammers use guilt to the level of an art form as Natalia does. Natalia, will also stoop to hold her children up as bearing the suffering, whenever things did not go the way Natalia wanted it. This was her way as well - of using guilt to get her way. I think this form of coersion is despicable. And she is always using God as a judge of all other\'s, except her own behaviour I have spoken to Natalia today, and she wants me to send more money urgently. She has no idea at all that I am doing this, and this is good, because she is totally unsuspecting, and would never believe that I could report her. Therefore it is vital that Natalia is caught and put out of action because this sort of treatment of another human being is totally unjustified by any standards, and she is only putting her own people, and her country, to shame. To date I have sent US $5,260, which is NZ $8,635.34 New Zealand dollars, so I guess... by reading others experiences here, I am one of the bigger victims, and I feel particularly stupid about it. I am not wealthy, in fact I believe that I have a lot less money than Natalia herself has. In all pictures I have seen of her apartment, her furniture, equipment and the clothes that she wears, everything looks very expensive indeed. She owns her apartment, and also a \"holiday residence\", and has enough property to consider setting up an Ostridge farm. I suspect that much of her money was gained by scamming men.
