If you want to be sure you're not dealing with an ITP, try sending something like this:

Quote:

Hi, Vladette. You are so pretty in the pictures. I am so glad you are writing to me. I am devolopmentally delayed (autistic) and this is the first time I have ever been on a date. I am 24 years old, and I have my own job at the duck-counting center. I moved out of the Disabilities Home last summer, and I have my own apartment. It is hard work, having your own apartment. You have to buy the toilet paper, and you have to cook things yourself. I hope my girlfriend will help me cook things because it is hard. I like books, too. I have this book at home called Tabby's Way Home, it's about this cat that gets lost and has to find his people in Argentina. I have one cat. Her name is Phinny cause I thought she was a boy and I take care of her every day and I feed her and clean her box. She has brown stripes.

Is it nice in Ukraine? I heard Ukraine has good soup. Have a nice day.

Kisses, XXX XXX.

Whadaya think?

I think they won't read it and just send letter #1 of the script.

Yes, but this way you'll be sure that you don't have an ITP from the first letter. I read in the romance FAQ that some people aren't sure wehther they have real scammers or not.

Your are right on both fronts, most don't get read, but sometimes if the bait goes on on, and into the money phase, sometimes they will go back and have a look. I created a number of pre-scripted responses that I use [general] that can be used also - like in my letter before ... making reference to it if they stray when you ask them particular questions. Good way to catch them out and waste their time. [which is why we are here] to make them re-read stuff [longer baits] - works for me!

I think that actually horses would be better to mention, and then suggest they read Latawnya, the Naughty Horse, Learns to Say "No" to Drugs.

That gives me an idea, that book doesn't have many pages, maybe I should get a lad to color the pictures...

In the lesson on RS we showed how to use Up_N_Unders prescripted letters to handle thirty Vlads with little effort to get through their script.

I find it easier to write ten letters with questions throughout but from a guy so boring no real woman would be interested in - hobbies that include stuff almost as boring as watching paint dry etc. You can also edit them to "personalise" the replies as you will expect to be asked about your life hobbies, friends, likes and interests.

While often they dont read you do get some who scan and others who look at each one. This approach has yielded two very nice trophes from the thirty to date and more will hopefully follow.
