Anatomy of a Scammer

Posted by: goforit

Recently I received a letter from a woman on a site that I had sent an expression of interest. Mind you, I didn't write a letter, I just showed interest and then she responded by showing interest. I then gave her my email address so we could communicate directly rather than via the website.

She then sent me a letter along with some very attractive photographs. The problem is I have seen this exact same letter from two/three other women. It is kind of funny really but clearly I am dealing with a scammer, UNLESS there is some book out there for FSU women giving them a template on what to write to western men.

I thought I would share that letter and others. I won't post the photos because I don't know if they are real or if they have been hijacked.

Hi, Honey!
How are you?
I'm ok!!! (as usual), because I'm very funny person and y often have a good mood.
I want to say some words about me:
My name is Olga
I m 28 years old. I want to say that i m from Russia. I want to make friends with a foreign man as i can't find a good man in my country.
Basically all men in Russia-alcoholics and Lazy Creations - for me this most bad quality in the man who has no definite purpose in a life.
Russian men in Russia pursue only one purpose - it to drink as much as possible spirits drink, the most popular spirits drink in Russia is Russian Vodka.
Well, now i want to say some words about me.
I have already told that my name is Olga
It's very old Russian name and means kindness, i think you like it?
I work in a hotel as a manager, at work i have to meet guests and show them their appartaments. I'm writing to you from my work i can do
it writing a lunch-time, but i also can do it when there's not so many people around.
Well, now i should finish my letter as y have to work again y hope you'll answere my letter and I thing you are pleased to make friends with me.

P.S. I'm sending to you my pictures, It you deside to answere my letter, i want you el send me looking pictures.
I'm looking forward to your answer.
Olga

Here is what he/she sent me just two days later when I had yet to respond:

"hello my friend!
How at you a life????
Cегодня when I have gone the Internet of cafe I have not seen your letter and why that I have not seen the letter from you
Why you have ceased to write to me??
I was very much on you hoped because I thought that we will construct a family and when will come
Time I thought that we will be together on always and we not when you we will not leave
But you do not understand me in that not much that we wished to construct a family but it seems to me that you to me liars!!
I consider you not as the man!!!
But I can forgive you if you start to write to me and we will begin all at first!"

Amazing! We have had no interaction but she was all set on starting a family, wondering why I no longer wrote to her, and calls me a liar! But of course if I write her she is willing to forgive.

Yeah, right baby.

" But of course if I write her she is willing to forgive."

LOL Then you'd better start writing her quickly!
Your future family depends on it!

I can forgive someone using a "template"--even on this site,you will find "example" letters to send to girls. Khashyars' is an interesting one! sorry, Khash.

However, what really sets off the warning bells is when the infamous all russian males are drunks thing shows up. HOnestly, I don't want to associate with someone who has a negative view of their own society. And it is obviously trying to sucker us into something.
Even the good time girl from Kiev was smart enough to avoid that phrase. And the next two girls that I met (marrying the second one) never mentioned that.
Oh, never send money. Unless you are marrying them.....
Good luck,

Definetly a scammer. Anyone serious wouldn't mention having a family without writing and probably meeting.

And here is her latest, just received this morning:

Well! Good luck to you with friends!

What I was the silly woman that that I have believed in that that there are true
feelings! What I was naive when I to you have believed also itself have started all
to prepare documents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I even was going to call to you
tomorrow!? And now I think that what for is all it was necessary?! What for I ran
would collect documents for this purpose what to arrive to you?! I I understand
now what for-is simple I was the silly woman! And now I feel the silly woman!
Because I have completely believed in feelings! I have trusted in your feelings
that that they sincere! And now I simply feel the blockhead! Know that that I am
offended! There is no I do not speak that that is necessary that that to change
is not present! Simply having believed in feelings I have not looked to the truth
in eyes! I have simply been fascinated by you! But and now that? All! But your
words-is worse of a knife! You named me the cheat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Know, it
became sick and opposite to me! Also that you think that that you the cleverest!
Not I, namely YOU played my feelings!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also it is not necessary to speak maliciously!

I loved you I wished to be with you, and you is simple you such speak!
Know to me it seems that it is not necessary to me to do this all tomorrow I break
off the contract with agency! Yes, I owe them money but I will give it and without
you! Start up to me it would be necessary to work round the clock what to give this
money for documents! But I will give their itself! And I am really simple I do not
see sense in the Internet relations! And I think that I will not go and search any
more for the man on the Internet! As it is necessary me most, represent most to
achieve the man!!!!!!!! It is simply surprising! I do not have words from that that
the woman should achieve love and belief from the man! I thought that all on the
contrary, that the man should achieve the woman! I am simple any more when I will
not use more Internet! Tomorrow I am equal during the lunchtime I will come and I
will close all mine the contract with agency! Yes, it is necessary to wait! But I
think that that we simply do not need to correspond more! Because I think that
better I to suffer a pain of feelings to you! Better that that I simply to cease
with you correspondence! Simply I do not see sense in it all your checks only do
painfully to both of us! Yes, now I cry, but time treats soul! And I think that I
will consult I think that it is the best variant for both of us! Through
humiliation I speak that nevertheless I feel to you! But I so cannot! I have
made all that could! And you such have told to me! Forgive! I do not know as
I will work today the rest of night, but my heart is broken and humiliated!

Started to prepare documents?? You haven't got a scammer here mate; you've got a nutter!!!

Surely not even a scammer would be stupid enough to write this to someone who hasn't even replied to their first letter???

Dont give her your address, or family pets may start turning up in the pressure cooker!!!

Posted by: GoingToRussia

Trying the old "make you feel guilty" routine!!! Nice but a little too thick!

Posted by: blucatz

Looks like these are pre-written letters sent out at regular times, would not be surprised if 100 other guys are getting the same letters at the same time. No real woman, psycho or not, would write these without any input from the guy. Just my .02 worth.

Posted by: goforit

Okay, he/she keeps going:

hello my love!!!!!!!
How are you??????
Today I have come to the Internet of cafe and
my love I for you very much has not seen from you the
letter I worry please write to me as soon as possible because
I start to think that with you that that happens

Even better, we can fly over there together. I'm sure there is enough rope for the both of us.

Why don't we all just go over there together and let her choose? Can she possibly love all of us at the same time?

Yeah I can't believe how easy it was to do. I mean I didn't even have to write her and look what happened. I don't know why I am at the Russian Meeting Place since clearly I don't need any support or advice!
