I have been deep in conversation with the delightful whose e-mail address is Sadly she is from the Ukraine, and even more sadly after about 5 e-mails her account ran dry and a letter came from the "Translation Company" I of course expressed my doubts about authenticity, and low and behold after requesting that the translation company (co-incidentally sharing Anna's e-mail address) forwards a simple little photographic request to her. She then replies from 'her own account' (you remember the one that the translation agency contacted me from) with the requested masterpiece

Now obviously I am chuffed to nuts that the love of my characters life has responded, but wait a minute! What is this? Looking back on a previous e-mail and piccy that sent me - SHOCK! HORROR! She appears to have had a few major facial amendments Laughing

Come on Vlads, if you are going to try scamming, at least make a reasonable fist of it!

I am now going to have to give the translation agency a very heavy slap for sending me the picture of an imposter!

Be careful about the potential of educating the vlad. Usually errors or mistakes are not pointed out since it allows a scammer to improve their scamming material or technique. If you want to slap him, complain about something else such as her fingers being over the writing on the sign. Wisely use and time your slaps. Slapping too early in a bait may cause the vlad to twig or become less cooperative. Each bait is different do what you think is best. If you lose this one, you can always find another one to bait or re-bait this one from a different e-mail address.

How are you going to educate a scammer using playboy pictures?
Very Happy

By 'educate'...do you mean they will give up using stolen pictures, and start only using LIVE girls?

Educate away!!! More fun for us, more faces walking around on the street that may someday be recognized.

Putting much effort into the Ukraine scum using stolen model pics is kind of silly. The most damage you can do to them is to make sure the email address, name and some other details are posted on a public site that shows up on the search engines....

If a few potential victims find it before they send money, that hurts the vlads.

(Should I just make a recording of this sermon?)

Very Happy

If I correctly understand the OP, pictures with different women were received, but they were supposed to be the same woman. Slapping the vlad about it informs him the pictures do not match and may make him more careful in the future (i.e., not repeat the mistake). Correcting the error may make the scam to appear more real and more likely to capture a real vic. That is what I mean about not educating the vlad. It's not about using "playboy" pictures, but informing the vlad of his mistake.

@PRS & Stepan - Guys lets not come to blows over this!

I think I know what I will do, Sadly the picture is taken from the wrong angle, lets try it again clutching two melons!!! I quite fancy a fruit trophy as well! Laughing

^^ Good luck finding melons in that part of the world! Laughing

You might have more luck with a potato, and then you've just started a new fad, vegetable baiting!

^^^ Mugatu - Good point. Yes vegetable baiting seems a good idea, lets see what this brings forth!

I look forward to receiving the FULL LENGTH picture with the sign, or if you would prefer not to hold the sign, maybe holding something, I have an idea, we are harvesting Cabbage's on the estate at the moment, why don't you have a picture taken with you holding a cabbage?

Well, it is worth a try!

STOP PRESS

Just in from the Translation "Agency"

Dear Sir,

We informed Anna about your letter. She will take photo you want. And
we want to inform you that she does not have her own bank account. You
can use Western Union or MoneyGram.

Respectfully,

Well, could this be the startof a Vegetable Bait???
