Hey everyone, I'm new to scambaiting (I registered and spent a long time looking over previous works and whatnot before getting into actually doing it), and had registered on the AntheaClub website under an alias, creating my backstory in attempt to lure a scammer. Shortly after creating the account and it getting approved I received a message from a woman, and subsequently started e-mailing her back and forth. The profile itself seemed like it could be scammer material since every time I checked she was online, and the profile was pretty bare bones (with the same, short sentence in the general details and what she's looking for section). However, in the few messages we have sent back and forth, she has not used any scripted responses and have actually replied to things that I have asked or questioned about things I forgot to reply to, which is making me reconsider if she is actually a scammer. Since I can't get the website to work right now, I can't post a link to her profile on the website or get her picture off of it, but has anyone dealt with a person using the e-mail address [email protected]? Here's the headers from her e-mail:

I'm only asking because I don't want to get too far into this if it's an actual person and cut it off before that happens, but if it's a scammer I'm going to go full speed ahead on her. I'm not having this issue with my lottery scam but because the messages were not scripted I'm getting a little suspicious I may have jumped the gun on her. I'm torn because even though she has not used scripted responses, she does say things like "many kisses just for you", and "I don't have a boyfriend too!
But I want to find a man who can bring some new emotions in my life.
I don't mind if it will be a man from another country! ))))", and responding to an e-mail I send her within minutes. Anyone have any opinions on her?

Love scammers work differently to the lottery/trunbox etc. scams.
Her mission is to get you to fall in love so it's more likely that she'll answer your questions.

Wow, that was quick. Alright thanks for that lotta, the non-scripted e-mails threw me for a loop.

Hi and welcome

Do you have any emails that you could post for us.

What you have said is written and not script could be good script

Some scammers do answer questions and reply very quickly so it may well be a scammer

I am sure that ONE of us, could write to her to see if she is real,

If you havn't allready done so google the email address and her name and see what comes up.

More help will be on its way soon

Edited
Usual rush while at work typos, then find by the time I get the post sent there are other replies

Another thing to notice is this

X-Mailer: mPOP Web-Mail 2.19

If you see an X-Mailer in the headers, it's another sign it's likely to be a scammer, especially if they claim to be writing from an internet cafe, even moreso if the email provider's a web based one. An X-Mailer is an email program, so it means they're not using the email provider's website to send you the email, but a program like - for example - Outlook. How many internet cafes do you know that would let you either install an email program or allow you to use one to check your emails?

Here's a sample of her e-mails:

-------------------------------------------
Привет!
You're very nice!!!!
I can't believe you haven't girlfriend in real life!
How do you like to spend your time&
Tell me more about you, please! ))))
I'm relly interested in you!

I'm waiting for you answer!
And sorry for my mistakes in the text.
You know it's so difficult to express ideas on another's language!

Many kisses for you only.....

-------------------------------------------

What about me...
I study in academy of public administration. In my future I will taxer, I think.
But now I work in ArtSchool with make-up and style.
I very like dancing like Shakira ))))
Earlier I was teacher in a Dance school.
You know yor business is my dream too, 'cause I like cooking.
You did not answer me about your girlfriend! ???

-------------------------------------------

I don't have a boyfriend too!
But I want to find a man who can bring some new emotions in my life.
I don't mind if it will be a man from another country! ))))

I'm going to sleep.... Good night, my new friend!
Glad to meet you!

Googling Ledy Krasota leads to nothing serious, but the russian in the first e-mail translates to Lady, and Lady Krasota leads to a series of Russian websites. Googling the e-mail doesn't lead to anything however.

Just tried googling some bits of her email and came up with nothing either.

This sounds like a very good scammer and one who needs our attention.

Has she asked for money yet?

Hello I'm New here! Joined: 27 Mar 2007 Posts: 9

Nope, no mentions of money yet, she sent me the final message saying she was going to bed and hasn't messaged me since then. I got the site working again so here's her profile for those of you that can get on the site: http://antheaclub.com/index.php?page=view_profile&id=7452

And here's a picture of her: http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=7283066

The money requests will come later. They usually don't ask for it straight away.

The best thing to do is keep chatting and see where it goes.

Oh don't worry, I'm gonna be in this one for the long haul, I wanted to get started for awhile but never actually sat down and did it, but now that I have confirmation that it is actually a scammer and not a real person I will really move in on her, I'm already coming up with reasons for why I couldn't send anything, etc, etc. I figured I did a lot of homework before starting but I guess these scammers are always changing so the best way to learn about it is by doing. Thanks for all the help guys.

It sounds like you are off to a great start.

Vlads can be a little boring at first and will sometimes send script for a month or more before actually answering questions, this one seems like she will be a little more fun for you as she is at least reading what you have written.

Have a read of This educational Thread which will give you a few more ideas and teach you the basics of romance baiting.
