Nice letter from Tatyana

Hi all

Just recieved this as a spam email at work!!!

Hello!!!
How are you? My name is Tatyana. I am 27 years old. I live in Russia,
city Yoshkar-Ola. I am cheerful woman, and like to do many things as
camping, go to the cinema, dances etc. In a word I like to do all what
like all people.
My dream this travel abroad. I know the english language well enough..
I began to study english language approximately one year ago. I want
to tell you history which have pushed me write to you. 8 months ago I
have got acquainted with the man from other country by name William.
During this time we had good relations. We have understood that our
relations become serious and we have decided to meet in his country. I
wrote the application for reception the visa.
I waited reception of the visa approximately half of year. All time I
kept in touch with William through the internet and often called to each
other. I and William waited reception of the visa to our meeting. I have
received the invitation from the ambassador for reception of the visa.
My director has given me long-term holiday from work and I have gone
to Moscow to receive the visa. I informed good news to William, but he
has answered, that does not want our meeting.
He played with me. He has informed that has the wife with two children
and at all has no plans to meet me. I was not ready to such turn of
events. I could not think what even after 8 months of acquaintance he
can so unscrupulously act with me. Now I am in Moscow I don't want
that all was gone for nothing and will be glad if my visa will be
useful to our meeting. I could arrive already through 6-7 days, but a
problem in that that now I have no man which would like my arrival.
Probably it will silly sound but if you will be interested in a
meeting with the good woman i will like to meet you sometime
soon!
As William was dishonest with me I have decided to find the man which is
interested to meet the woman from Russia. I do not know your ideas
about my letter, but it would be fine if we could meet and have some
weeks or months together. On my trip I want to receive rest from my
work and a life in Russia. Also the basic purpose for the future it is
search good men for serious attitudes which go to a marriage. I have
no children, and i haven't been married before. I am the mature woman
and ready to creation of family with good man. I don't know what you
really search in the future but if we could meet I will be happy to
discuss with you more about our meeting. What are you going to do this
time? It would be fine if we could meet, do friendship or more than
simply friendship. I will be happy if you also have a free time and we
could meet soon. I do not know your interests, but anyhow write to me
back and I will tell to you more about myself. Write to me all that
you want. Maybe we have similar plans and it will be interesting to us
together.

You can write all that you want. Ask any questions which interest you.
I will tell more about myself and send my photos.

Please, write to me back on my regular e-mail: tatyana_sh80@bk.ru
wish you a good day

Tatyana from Russia

Very nice story, and for a minute I was almost feeling sorry for her. Now I knew scamming went on through the websites, but I did not realise they did it by sending emails carte blanche to all and sundry!!

Anyone else recived this one before???

How can she suggest spending months. She has no idea how long she will be given to stay in USA until it is determined by immigration official at port of entry. Validity term of the visa is not an indication of how long she may stay here. This is based on the assumption it is a visitors visa. Why would a married American man ever apply for a fiance visa and it would never be approved since he is not free to marry.

What does this mean? Is it an offer for 'friends with benefits'?

To say I'm incredulous to the sincerity of such a letter is an understatement!
How would she have gotten your work email and known you had an interest in Russian women?
Do you have some notoriety we don't know about?! LOL

"I know the english language well enough"....Yeah, right...I can't believe I used to speak/write just like "tatyana" not long time ago...Sorry, couldn't resist, blame the "successful immigrant" syndrome.

No, "she" did mean "freinds with benefits". It was a direct translation from Russian. Meaning: she is hoping to get romantically involved.

Not adressed to me direct, erfield@*******.co.uk . Not sure what the "efrfield" is, but ended up in my mail box.

Thanks for sharing jc. Never heard of this scam before. Very creative but not a good attempt ... it would fool only the most innocent ... but then again most of us are. Not the guys on this board though!

Never got this sort of e-mail before.

Never received an email like that. Good scam for someone who doesn't have the experience or knowledge. This is why it is good to read and learn from this forum.
