Some Russian chick emailed me a few days ago and I've been playing along with it so far. Looks like a new pic with every message. This should be fun to play with, I'm imagining some sort of gold digger racket. There was something that popped up about her on a German site, can't read German though.

Sehr interessant in der Tat. Konnten Sie ein Foto bitte bekannt geben?

Hi Gbody freak

Welcome to Eater's romance department

There is little chance you were contacted by a girl and very unusual for it to be a gold digger.

If you would like to tell us a bit more we can let you know more about it.

Meanwhile, take a look at the romance baiting FAQ, there's a link in my signature line

When you are done there, there is a Scamwarners link that will help you to determine if the person you have been contacted by is a scammer.
Scamwarners how to spot a romance scam sticky http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3607

If it is a scammer, please post up the information and we may be able to give you advice on baiting and or join in the fun

G'day GBodyFreak welcome to Eater,, If you could please supply a bit more info, and we will be able to advise you, A copy of the first e-mail and the headers would be a good start.

And as Kate said, please post a photo, The chances are it won't be a photo of her as she's more then likely a man.. Russian female scammers are a rare breed, but not unknown..

Shhhhhh.... you know we can't talk about that here! People might talk, or make a movie. We can't risk it!

I need to build a character I guess, how about sticking with this spy theme since I've already got the thread title and all. Pierce brosnan? or maybe that's too high profile....

Be impressed, the BORG is experienced with the VLADS, and could be described as 'Vlad Bane' study at the feet of a master. Cool

Hello, my new friend! What`s your name? I am very pleased, that you
have answered my letter. First of all I want to apologize for my not
fast reply. I have no computer in my house. Yes, it's really pity... I
can't answer you in the same moment as you. Thank you that you have
found time write me letter. I think you have many questions to me. I
have received your e-mail from dating agency.

I shall try describe myself. I do not know what tell you in the
beginning... Well, let's begin! I would like you to name me Lydia. I'm
28.

My birthday - October, 20 1980. My height - 5 foots 7 inches. My
weight - 132 pounds. As you see in my photo, I have grey eyes, and
color of my hair - blonde.

I have serious intentions, and I do not want to make a wrong choice...
I tried write to you, and now I see, that you answered. We can start
our corresponding, I think so... I want to be fair with you. Be frank
with me too.

I live in Russia, in city Nizhniy Novgorod. Did you heard about it? It
is very ancient city. Nizhniy Novgorod is located in 600 kilometers
from Moscow. Nizhniy Novgorod the big and wellknown city in Russia, it
is located on the river Volga.

Little about me. I have higher education. I started my education in
secondary school, in

Nizhniy Novgorod.

After I have finished it, I have entered Economic Faculty of Technical
University. I have finished it 5 years ago. Now I work as a
bookkeeper. I am engaged in financial affairs of our firm. This firm
not so big. I work here not so long time, about 4 months.

During work day I can use a computer and write letters. It is more
convenient for me. I really would like to know your interests, your
race, languages which you speak, hobbies? Tell me little bit more
about you. I also shall tell you more about me in the following
letter. I send you my pictures. I hope my letter will not afflict you.
I shall wait for your letter and your picture with impatience. But if

May be your new friend Lydia!

Hello (me)! I am very glad to receive the letter from you today. I am
very glad that you still have desire write to me. It is very good that
does not confuse you, that I live in Russia. Your country seems to me
very interesting and completely another than ours. USA is on other
half of our planet. I do not know a difference in time between us, but
I precisely know that a difference in time with New York 8 hours.

(me), as you already know I work as the bookkeeper in small firm. I am
engaged in calculation of financial charges, expenses of this firm,
various debits, the credits. I am engaged in distribution of monetary
stream of our firm. In general all accounts department.. I hope you
understand about what I speak.

We live far each other... It is a very big distance for both of us.
But this distance only seems a big. It at all does not frighten me. It
seems to me especially interesting. Don't you think so? I have read in
newspaper (it was already probably for a long time ago) that in other
advanced countries (Europe and Northern America) meets situation, that
women are more thoughtless (not so serious) than men. Is it true? I
very much would like to learn your opinion. I am for the first time
have acquaintance through the Internet. Now I wish tell you about me
directly. I have never been married, and I want to marry. What I
search in the man, most especial - friendship. I do not like to argue,
altercate in a various occasion. I want meet somebody - who wants to
have an entertainment, but understands, that life - is not always an
entertainment. I need somebody who is fair, also care, warm and
sexual. Also I believe there requirement good appeal between these two
people. I want to have friend which later (if everything will be
correct) could be more than just a friend. The most important parts of
relations - love, trust and communication. But, without trust others
two thing does not matter. You cannot contact someone irrespective
even you love him or her, but not trusting him or her. The love is
important, but you should trust blindly to other person, really love
them because you should know they real love you back. Of course you
have a question, "Why Russian women search husbands in other
countries”. Because of many reasons, I think, and first of all -
economic level of Russia. Our country is not rich and it is very
difficult to find good work. Russian men cannot earn enough money to
hold their family. They very lazy. They start to drink alcohol and
become angry. It enters into divorce. Of course there are a lot of
good men. Yes (me), it is true. But they are already married. If they
receive many money, anyway they also start spending all for nothing to
drink alcohol or other women. All of them like "Kasanova". In our
country amount of women is more than men. So men try to low women,
though a woman is stronger physically and psychologically. She manages
a household, brings up children and has a constant work in the same
time. There is an opinion that Russian men in degradation now. I want
to get married abroad as I’m concerned about my future. I want to have
an ordinary, calm life, though I must leave my friends and change
culture. It's very difficult. There are many men here which would like
to be a part of my life, but a lot of them have been married before,
have kids and are bitter about marriage all together. Some of them
have trouble opening up and showing there true feelings and there are
the ones who lie, cheat and disrespect any man they get involved with.
These are only a few reasons why I am still single, I think it is
better to be lonely than to be with someone and be miserable. So, my
search for that perfect man continues. I had no time tell you, (me),
about it in my this letter because I write letters to you on my work
as I have no a personal computer. I have no children but I would like
to have them. I think, that I would be good mother. I never saw my
parents. My parents have left me in a orphanage. I have no relatives,
at least I did not know them. It is unpleasant for me to recollect my
childhood. I grew in a orphanage, where lack of parent's warm... I
know, how it is hard to not have relatives. So I am ready to give my
future husband and children everything. They will not be lonely,
because I shall surround them with warm and love. Living in orphanage
I've understood the real values of the life: do kindness to people and
it will come back to you doubled. There are many problems in Russia.
People became evil and closed. That's why I decided to find a husband
abroad Russia. If I'll have opportunity to leave from here for the
best life, I'll do it... I will leave Russia. I shall not have a
problems with it. (me), I already have been in the USA! So I have told
you about my dreams. May be they will not come true but these are my
dreams. And what about your dreams? I like to visit cinema. Oh, I love
it! I like to read books. I have many free time after my work,
therefore I have an opportunity to read. I love various love stories,
detectives and very, very much I love classical russian literature.
Also I love various music. I like different music, all depends on
mood. When I'm sad I listen slow, sensual music. Jazz and blues. When
I have good mood I listen modern music. I like pop, rock, dance.
American music very pleasant to me (Jennifer Lopez "Baby I love You"
and Aerosmith "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing", and many others.), as
well as Russian. Bi-2, Rondo are Russian rock-groups, but it is not
all my favorite groups, it's a lot of, at once all of them will not
remember. Jeniffer Lopez, Aerosmith, Moby and other American groups.
The American film in Russia has huge popularity. They, as believe, are
the greatest. I love American films, and I love many American actors.
I frequently go hiking in a wood, I like camping, BBQ or I like to go
by bicycle on summer. I have own bicycle. In Winter I go skiing and
skating. All these distract me from everyday problems. So what do you
do, when you have problems and when you are sad? My hobby if it is
possible to tell so - English language. I have loved English for a
long time when I studied at school. In Russia the program of training
necessarily includes foreign language, as a rule - English, German or
French. I entered in group of the English language and I am still
happy that I've made it. I like very much your language. After school,
I continued studying English language in the institute. It is a very
soft and easily-memorized language for me. Now I attend courses of the
English language. I've been studing your language for 16 years. I want
to learn this language perfectly. I know that now I admit mistakes,
but I hope you won't angry. I spent a lot time to write this letter. I
wait your answer (me). I have many ideas, but I do not want to rush
this precious moment when two souls are looking towards each other
across the continents for an everlasting friendship. (me), I send you,
my picture,

Your friend Lydia.

Thank you Precarious One, sorry I meant Precious One, But my little Pinkie slipped with the spell checker. And really I just stumble along with my Russian girls.. perhaps I just stumble a bit better.

As for our little Dolly,, that's a bit non- typical, mostly they use fashion models, or real lookers.. This one looks like she would concentrate on the
Steak and kidney, with three veg. And once she moved in, she would be a job to eject. Homely they call that. She would want to measure up the curtains. And sex won't happen till there's a ring on it's finger.
She also claims to be 5 foot 7 inches and 132 pounds, That's 9 and half stone, with her gum boots on. She needs to loose a few pounds, still we can't complain.
But it's a typical scripted reply, They go on for ever with these scripts, I once replied with a cut and paste all about the workings of a lawnmower gearbox, Didn't make the slightest difference, she just churned on.. From memory I ran out of gearbox before she ran out of script.

So don't go into a lot of detail with your replies, A they don't read them, and B It's more to remember, But if your stuck for idea's please feel free to drop me a PM, and if I can help out I will.

One small tip.. Don't make your answers specific, Just go on about general things, make a file in her name with your e-mail service, I hope your using Gmail or something that kills your IP. And store all the mail from her, with your replies, Then you can recycle your replies with the next one. Just remember to remove any names, both yours and her's.
They don'y like it if you tell them how madly your in love with them and then get the name wrong.
I got caught like that years ago, with a woman I thought I new, Right at that magic moment , I got it's bloody name wrong, It was up of it's back and out the door, that fast, Never did come back,, shit does happen sometimes.. Confused

Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2009 3:10 am

So far so good, got on at my general yahoo account, but I've got an empty gmail that would work if we can switch her over to that somehow. I set up a special folder just for this one. I'm keeping my replies down to about a paragraph. It's a shame, guess there won't be any trophies or safaris out of it. Also, the pics are coming in as attachments, no model sites to follow it back to.

Just change it to a Gmail account, set it up with the same name, and say nothing, In most cases all they do in click on "reply" and don't read the address. if it does ask, just make up a story, Tell it your yahoo account was compromised ans leave it at that.

With Russians every reply is a trophy,, You can forget all about trophy's, I've worked on subjects for close to 12 months and still not got a photo with them holding a sign.. There far to educated for that sort of rubbish, As for safaris, you've got more chance of winning the lottary.
If your looking for Gong's switch to Nigerian lads, there silly enough for anything, the Russians are not.
Simply pushing the envelope will get you dropped, Some don't need an excuse to drop you, [see the Lubov thread] and as soon as you send a bodgee Western Onion receipt, the baits as good as over, they simply won't and don't play silly buggers. The art with them is to avoid talking about money, and avoiding sending a receipt.

I would bet your going to get a request for money for Translation fee's any tick of the clock.

Great digging! It's a shame you really can't knock them off script like you can with the nigerian ones. Whoever is sending out the pics along with the letters must have pretty low standards. I'm a champagne kind of guy darn it!

Staying on script isn't entirely bad, it is still wasting their time and allows you to gather their entire script for posting

Always look on the bright side of life Wink

That's true. It's the sport of it that makes it entertaining though. Good practice since I haven't played in awhile.

OK, I've got the messages re-directed to my G-mail account, so that's taken care of. I've got a new picture and the latest message is exactly according to the script. I tossed a Russian translation into the latest, I know it isn't read, but it might be something to mess with.

Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2009 11:28 pm

The latest picture:

How long do they usually go before they cycle through again?

Could be a big mistake, they like to think there in control, your job is to make them think there in control. Your gullible Jo, who knows nothing and has never done anything like this before. it's a hole new world of discovery.. You have to convince them, that they know everything and you know nothing.
In short it's a chess game of move and counter move, and the ruskie's like to play chess.. but sending them a message in there language, challenges there control.
Did you run it through Google translate , and then reverse it again, to see if it make any sense.
If they do drop you, send it a nice weepie e-mail and tell her how your little heart is broken, [sniff,sniff] and how much you miss her. If that doesn't work, simply start again with another character and e-mail address. In a month or so's time.
But there's plenty out there, Set up a catcher account on "mybelovednet dot com" minimum profile and find a shonky picture of somewhere like Romance .com . Then just sit back and wait a couple of days, and you will have them jumping through hoop's to marry you.

That IP is a Gmail address in New York. her IP is hidden, reference my earlier link for info on her IP Well you please post the headers [remove your personal info first]
