I have been emailing this lad for over a month now

usually about one email a day

i have been sent around 30 photos of the same girl

what i am wondering is would a lad have this many photos he can send me

or is this an actual lady i am speaking to and she is sending me pics of herself

I cannot remember where the IP resolved too so i will check when i get home

The IP will give you at least a clue.
Is the girl white and / or eastern European? You maybe have a vlad gang who have access to a local girl for pictures. But then again that will depend on whether you have been pressuring for the pics, or whether they have been forthcoming on their own. They'll normally only do it if it's really necessary, ie. you've been pestering for them, and pay day is dependent on it.
If you are dealing with an African love lad, it could be the case that the pictures are of a victim who "dated" a male character operated by your lad. Lads will re-use photos, hence why we're careful about sending pics to romance lads.

In short, I think it's possible that you're dealing with a female scammer, but not all that likely.

I vaguely mind of it being Prague but i am not sure

I have not asked for pics

Hmm, strange. Post up a sample header later on and I'll take a look.

I think there are a very few female lads but my guess is (if it's not a vlad like Mugatu says), it's a lad's girlfriend or wife or more than likely a well publicized African female they can steal pictures from off the net.

I doubt they'd have any use for recycling pictures of females they've scammed though. Good looking women that attract male victims, don't fall for lads in the first place. Lads prey on women who are ordinary looking, lonely and probably dateless. I should know. Sad

I am a lad magnet.

You can use TinEye to find the original pictures and their willingness to provide pictures should lead to some nice trophies then Wink

sorry i could not get access to pc last night will get it tonight

Any scammer can go to Photobucket or somewhere similar and grab pages and pages of pics of the same girl from there. Unless they can provide you proof, then always assume the photos are stolen.

Hmm, that's interesting, Ukraine scams normally turn out to be translation scams, they normally use pictures of extremely attractive girls that have been stolen from soft porn sites.

The scam normally takes little more than a week before the "Your Vlad can no longer afford the translation service" emails come in.

Be prepared to get back accounts if you can (very difficult but possible, dont lose sleep if you cant) then waste as much time as you can getting payment to them.
