Thanks JG! I'm going to have to compare notes though, I'm concerned that it might've been photoshopped.

I haven't heard from it for over a week.. Then out of the blue this turns up.

Quote:

Hi my heart and my soul Rodney! I have dear friend - Rodney, and I always think about him, I want to know all about him. Absolutly everything!
I'm so glad to receive your letter today. I very much hoped that
you will understand me and will write letter for the woman which thinks and dreams about you. Tell me about your ideas and dreams. And now I shall make it.
I have news, may be it will be bad or good to you. I do not know...
Yesterday in our firm came people from housing committee (State Supervision of the Available housing). They made extraordinary check of our building. They gave to us very bad results. Today my boss told me I shall have 3 months of a vacation. Because our building is in an extreme condition. A building where located our firm, will be closed on repair. Approximately in 1 week, and I shall have a vacation, but I was not pleased. I cannot refuse this vacation. In a building of our firm will be made major overhaul. Repair will last 3 months. I have begun to cry,
because it means that I can't write to you, I can't use a computer. Rodney, I was so frightened that I can lose you. I imagined that I should spend this vacation in my apartment, between four walls. I should sit in loneliness and think of you. I should aimlessly wander on streets and fall asleep with tears on eyes every night. I have been waiting for my vacation in the next summer and I receive it NOW, but they don't bring pleasure to me. Because in the next summer, I cannot receive my vacation. I imagined that I should spend some months without you and
awful emptiness had appeared in my heart. All world around became
uninteresting for me and I told myself: "NO! It is not for me!" Last night I thought of us.
About you and me. Rodney, I couldn't fall asleep again. I had been
crying for a long time because of despair. My thoughts were mixed, like inking waves during a storm, and I, like a small ship was sank in the sea of despair.
With the rising of sun I calmed and hold on myself. And I have put a hard aim, the aim of all my life - to be with a man who loves me and I love him by all my heart. I thought what I can see you. I decided to spend this vacation with you. I thought that I can meet you. Just meet. That's all what I want now. I have passport and I have visa. Of course our relations still very short. But our correspondence became very important for me. I hope for you too... I thought that we should continue our dialogue, but this situation makes impossible to continue it further. I should stop to write you in a week... It is so sad.. I do not want it happened. Besides Rodney through letters is impossible to learn
completely each other. Letters will not give the full description of the
person.
I hope you understand about what I told you. But I already could understand and feel you, you seem to me very good, lovely, serious and the most important reliable man. I am so glad that have met you!!! I very much would not want lose you, Rodney. Your letters became the important element of my daily life.
I do not want very much live without you. I ask you to think about it. I
shall be very glad and happy if we can meet.

Since I started talking to you, I just can't stop thinking of you Rodney.

I KISS YOU. Your Tatyana.

So it looks like a ticket scam..

This is what follows the script you just got:

Quote:

Hello my lovely, most desired and gentle Ted. I am very glad to
receive your letter. All night long I thought of you my dear Ted. I
very badly slept because of different ideas in my head. I thought What
reaction you will have after my last letter... But today I am glad
find out that you understand my problem concerning work. It is a pity
to me that it happened... Very sadly that our correspondence soon will
end... But simultaneously with it destiny gives us a new push in our
relations. Now we have two variants. I think you understand it. Ted we
should make a choice: meeting or to interrupt our correspondence for
long time. I do not know that I shall do if I shall receive not your
letters every day... Therefore I think that we should make a choice
for benefit of a meeting.

You know my situation concerning money. I have very a few cash. About
75 dollars. But I shall have additional money (severance pay, money
for holiday), about 200 dollars. I think ,Ted, you understand that it
not is enough for purchase of tickets. I know precisely that I should
buy the ticket to you in the USA and back. Date of return flight has
no value because I can transfer it for any other time. I should
convince workers of the airport that I have an opportunity to return
back to Russia. The international airport is in Moscow. It is not so
far from me, about 500 kilometers I can reach there by bus. I want to
meet you, but it will be impossible without your help. It is sad
truth... But if I shall arrive to you, I think I can be employed and
shall return to you all money. I would not want to miss our chance to
be together.

We should define when we can meet. I think the best variant for us
would be a soon meeting, in 8-10 days after I'll receive holiday. I
have only 6-7 days up to the end of it. Then I cannot write to you.
You know that I write you from my work. Ted I am always so glad to
receive your magic letters every day. It always gives me million
positive emotions. People meet once. They get acquainted. They begin
to meet. Some force of them draws. They want to be together to learn
each other better to like each other. Some people when learned other
person, they have enough of it, and anything does not occur any
more... "The Book became read"... "Book" put on a shelf in a case.
Either for him or her it is necessary other "book"... Some people all
life loving, they reading this "book" all theirs life. Other people
when will read this "book", do not put it on a shelf in a case, and
they writes itself continuation of this book. Each person is the
writer of his or her life if he or she wants... I am "writer". I hope
you too... Let's write our book together. I do not present my life
without you. You became for me the only man. I very much would want to
meet you and to continue our life TOGETHER! I hope my words do not
shock you... Ted we are familiar not so for a long time, but you
already in my heart... And I do not want you left from there. I so
want to see you every day, to feel you, to speak with you, to breathe
aroma of your body, to feel heat of your strong hands... I so wish to
kiss you... I think you too have same desires. Ted, I'm not little
girl anymore, and I want to be near me strong, loving, kind man... And
which would wish me as the woman. I do not want to be alone anymore, I
want to be happy... Ted, I want to make you happiest man in the world!
I think it is possible! And lawful... (Smile). I definitely want to be
with you! I ask you to think about it. I shall wait for your letter
with impatience. Thousand the most gentle and passionate kisses.

kisses for you, my lovely Ted!!!

Your loving Lydia.

Being the nice guy I am, I set up a K7 number to pick up those calls, being halfway around the world, it wouldn't be very likely I'd be around when it calls. Hopefully I can get a bank account out of it when it starts getting down to the brass tacks. PofK has been at this longer, so maybe he'll have some better information to contribute.

Surprisingly, I have not yet heard from her/it
Don't expect I will either.
We're getting down to the nut-cutting as far as time goes, her self imposed deadline is near. I suspect this is by design. I have a well thought out reply as soon as I get her/it letter naming the price.

I'm wondering if it might be best to coordinate this money business to see if we can squeeze a bank account out of it. I've got a couple of theories on how this would work.

1. Everyone declare WU out of the question and insist on a bank transfer. The bad thing is with everyone saying the same thing, it might get suspicious and drop the lot. The good thing is that it would be more likely to give an account that could be quickly verified and have a ton of evidence to shut down quick.

2. Ask for different types of ways to get the money out there and force it into bank accounts by channeling it down to one baiter, the one with the account option. It would be much less suspicious and make it more desperate to claim anything from the effort.

Just some ideas, I'm sure there is a much better way to handle it. I tried to squeeze some more trophy pics out of it in my last message. I don't think that it's using photoshop to make the personalized pictures, the wallpaper pattern isn't the same from picture to picture. PofK, what was the file name of your personalized picture? If they're numbered, it might be possible to see how many people it's working with.

Posted: Thu Nov 05, 2009 9:01 pm

I have to confess, although I'm no idiot, my computer skills are questionable at best.
Ergo, I am ill-prepared to answer your query.

Posted: Thu Nov 05, 2009 10:55 pm

It's just a general toss it out there thing, nothing beyond that. I haven't heard anything out of it today, hopefully the game is still on.

Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 2:30 am

I'm expecting a nice little request for Air ticket money, any tick of the clock.

Of cause we don't do Western Onion, or Money Grab, But we can of cause buy her a nice pre-paid ticket, at this end.. Save her all the troubles of collecting money and trying to organise a ticket.. I mean how considerate is that.

Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 12:22 pm

I'm wondering if it hasn't run out of script. I got the first paragraph from the message fromt the day before and the picture recycled from that one too. I like the airline ticket idea, I just wonder if there isn't a bank account in there somewhere.

Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 5:53 pm

My first letter from my international girlfriend that was NOT accompanied by a pic. Also the first one to specify the amount that I shall be scammed out of. Strange, because I haven't received any communication in a couple days. I was afraid that the jig was up, that she realized that I was on to her. I sent a letter yesterday, expressing how much I missed her letters, and that I was afraid that we would fall out of contact, as her self imposed deadline was rapidly approaching, and I would be unavailable across the weekend. I asked her to be specific as to how I would get her money to her. This is her reply....

Hi my lovely and the best in the world man, my dear Mark. Thank you
for your tender and very kind letter. I feel it's filled with kindness
and caress. I am so glad that you wish to meet me. I feel this meeting
will turn my life absolutly another side. Not only my... I think you
too will feel yourself like in another way. Already now I understand
that you and your letters is very deep in my heart! I am very happy
that you with me, even here I feel you! The idea on our meeting
supports me very much. Mark, I still cannot believe that you have
appeared in my life... I am very, very grateful to destiny that she
has presented you to me!!! You much mean for me. I am glad that soon
we shall be together!!!

Remained very few time. After that nobody will prevent our meeting.
Moscow... Plane... And you will meet me! Every day, every minute Mark,
I think about it. I think about us. It gives me so many positive
emotions. Our correspondence has brought new sense in my usual and
simple life.

Today I went to travel agency. I have found out about cost of the
ticket to fly to you. Now I know that is necessary me to pay 910 US
dollars. This cost includes ticket in the your country and back (this
obligatory condition), insurance, road up to Moscow by bus, a meal in
road to Moscow. As you already know I have 275 US dollars. In a
result, I don't have enough 635 US dollars.

I am very glad that now all began clearly for both of us. We precisely
know that we want to meet each other. And our meeting soon will
happen. I very much hope to learn you better. Mark, while I know you
only through letters... But soon we learn much about each other on the
other hand. Meeting face to face will help us. I very much would want
to see you soon, your friends, your city. I very much want to know
everything interconnected with you. I hope you will allow me to see
and learn everything important for you. I want to touch you, to go
with you keeping for a hand, to kiss you... Yes, yes Mark!! I want to
be with you!!!! I feel, I'm sure you that man which I searched for all
my life.

Your loving Lydia.

Of course, I will have internet access 24-7, but I'm going to send her a reply saying that it will be Monday before I can again read her drivel. I believe her office has been closed by the "State Supervision of the Available housing" effective today. I can't wait to see how this plays out. Will keep you guys posted.

We due respect, I don't like your chances of a bank account, Russian scammers simply don't have or use bank accounts. It's WU or MG and nothing else.
There excuse normally runs something like this.

we only poor people , we have no need for bank accounts, only rich well off people or government officials have bank account

It looks like you've been played, She/ He could have spotted something in your reply, which has alerted her, to a bait. But hang in there, with all the attention, she's getting you might be on the back burner, also remember Russians rarely work on the weekends.

Posted: Sat Nov 07, 2009 12:31 am

No, he's still in the game, I've got the same message from it. I think it's trying to get everyone onto the same page for less effort. I thought I would share what I sent to it today:

Quote:

How wonderful of you to contact me about this! That number doesn't sound unreasonable at all! In fact, it seems a bit too low, perhaps you would need more to travel in a style that best suites you. Look again for much better accomodations and we'll see what we can do about that. Nothing but the best for my dear Lydia!
Yours,
Ted

Posted: Sat Nov 07, 2009 2:04 pm

Sounds like Ted and I had the same thought.
I wish I had saved a copy of my reply, went something like ...

635 sounds too low, let me send you 1000 so you can ride on the front of the bus, eat a better meal on the way to Moscow, and fly first class. Too bad your opportunity to email has expired for 3 months, as you did not indicate how I am to get the $ to you.

My phone rang at 4 am 79371117621 on the caller id, has to be from outside the US, I of course did not answer. I wouldnt answer at 4 am unless it was family.

where is working Western Union, this thing told me bank's workers.
therefore transfer of money not difficultly in our city also many

4) control number for reception of money (MTCN). To you will give it
after you will send money.

5) the address of the western union from which you will send this
money.

Also I took the instruction for a parcel of money and I send it to
you.

so want to meet you! I very much hope that you can send me money these
days. I very much hope that nothing can prevent us.

During ours correspondence you became very dear for me. Your letters
always warm my soul. And I very much hope soon our meeting will
happen. Mark, you cannot present yourself how strongly I hope to meet
you. All last days and weeks I constantly think about you... I think
about you and our future. About What expects us in the future?! I very
much hope that everything will be good. Because you that unique person
whom I searched and waited all my life... It was so pleasantly to
think that you are there in USA and I'm here in Russia. Even distance

I am so happy Mark. Thank you that you do everything for our meeting.
I am grateful to you for everything. Forgive me for short letter.
Thousand the most passionate kisses. Now I can safely make it.

Your loving Lydia.

And so it goes
I'm 'away' from the internet for the weekend, anybody have any bright ideas how to reply come Monday?

I'm thinking about asking her to send me the 275.00 that she has as a sign of good faith, doubt that would work though.

Posted: Sun Nov 08, 2009 12:12 am

I haven't gotten that one yet, must've forgotten about me. It would probably be best to go by the word of the good Borg. Just play the WU games, fake documents, incomplete documents, can't find a WU near you, delay delay delay.

Posted: Sun Nov 08, 2009 4:25 am

You will find that with the Russians, once they get a fake WU or MG receipt, they will back right off, Some will simply drop you. Others will ask what's wrong and why it didn't eventuate. But normally it's the beginning of the end..
So the more hold-up's and problems you can invent, the longer it will last.

The funny thing is 9 times out of 10 they will bring a "Agent of Travel"
into the equation, who will quote the prices, They may even write to you, informing you that little Lud-winka desires to travel and to meet you. as she's madly in love with you. And could you please forward the money to them as there acting on her behalf.. Check the headers again'st your love's and they will be the same, with just a different e-mail address showing..

You could ask that as a registered travel agent, could they please supply there Trust account details, as you feel it's easer, safer, and quicker if you pay the required amount into there account.. Then ask if that includes there handling fee. Then thank them for there kind service. Which gets them on side. and they will like Johny Gullable even more.

You could even inquire, as your charatures an American, and rolling in money.. if they have Wells Fargo Money transfer in there country. As you have an account with them, and it will be so much easer. plus this adds to the confusion. then when they so NO,, simply use that little word that always brings a result. WHY

Posted: Mon Nov 09, 2009 8:25 pm

Hi my the most gentle, careful, kind and passionate Mark. I am very
glad to receive your letters today Mark. It always, always, always
brings so much good feelings about both of us, about our future
together...

I really called to you on November, 7th, but I have not phoned to you.
I tried to call to you some times.

It will be the most magic, remarkable and long-awaited time. We shall
be together with you Mark. How I want it.... We shall be together day
and night! It does not frighten you? This time will belong only to
both of us. I know that you too very much wait for our meeting and it
makes me so happy. You love me... I love you... I do not present what
can be better than it? I do not know. When the person loves, and
someone loves him, for them impossible makes possible. We same. In the
beginning for us it seemed simply an idea. And now it already an
opportunity, we can it. And all this thanking you Mark. I am grateful
you for everything, for all that you make for me!!!! Now I write and
on my eyes tears flow, I'm crying, these are tears of happiness....
How I am happy that have met you... You have changed my representation
about the world. The world became very small, it began to belong only
to both of us. We shall soon be together. My heart is very quickly
beaten booom.......... booom....... booom..... booom.... booom...
booom booom booom booom!! I do not know how I would feel when I shall
see you. I very much want it. I love you. I send you thousand,
millions the most passionate and gentle kisses.

I KISS YOU.

Your loving Lydia.

All this after sending her an email basically chastising her for calling me at 3:35 a.m.
No doubt about it, she doesn't read them, must just skim through to get the highlights.

What a bunch of BS
A real artist

The start of my stall. Will be interesting to see how quickly she can get to internet cafe.

Dearest Lydia,
I have been to my bank, unfortunately, here in small town America we do not have western union nor do we have money gram. I have heard of western union anyway, but have never heard of money gram. Also the nice lady at my bank has not heard of moneygram.

Can I send you cash? I could wrap it in butcher paper so the people at post office don't know what is inside? I could also send you a check, but I'm not sure if you can cash that in Russia? I could send extra cash, say a couple hundred dollars because I am sure you will have to pay a fee to exchange into your currency. Forgive me, I have never done this before, and am not sure how it all works. I am anxious to see you, please respond as soon as possible.

As always
Mark

Posted: Tue Nov 10, 2009 4:11 pm

I haven't gotten much out of it lately. I doubt it's still on, but if it is, I'm thinking of playing around with travelling there. Use some fake flight passes and things like that, just to see if there is a reaction.

Posted: Tue Nov 10, 2009 9:03 pm

Hi my lovely Mark, I am glad to receive your letter today. I
understand everything, that you have written to me. I cannot receive
any letter or a gift from you because I rent apartment and I am not
registered in this apartment. I have been afflicted by it. Therefore
you cannot send cash through mail. Probably, you could send money
through the Internet, through www.westernunion.com - a site of the

I thought that might happen,, send me a PM pofk, with a returnable e-mail address and I'll send you some forms that you might get away with.
