Last month a local buddy of mine was contacted thru Yahoo from a sweet young thing from Odessa. (Yep, she contacted him) After a couple of weeks of emailing back and forth she told him that she couldn't afford the translations and she wondered if he could send her $280 for a months worth of translations!!
He told me about it, asking if that seemed like a good price. After a bit of talking to him about "Hairy Ivan" and some of his scams we decided to have "Tatysik" write her and offer her services as a translator and to tell her about life in Alaska.
Needless to say "Ivan" hasn't written back! Go Figure....

Rule#1 NEVER , Never send money to someone you've never met face to face!
