In case anyone fancies picking one of these up (I can't be bothered right now), I received a couple of e-mails as below. Looks like a typical romance scam to me. Same situation as the one I had before - the grammer is slightly "off", and they use an internet cafe and therefore this somehow affects how they receive their email. Strangely though, the sender's email address is the same as the one she gave me in the email Confused

I hope one of you guys can give her what she deserves (I mean love, of course! Twisted Evil

)

Subject: The modest and lonely girl wants to get acquainted with lonely the man

Hello!
My name is Tatyana to me of 29 years Hope I will be lucky Smile

I don't think that the age and appearance is so important though I am rather pretty.
The most important what is inside you and how do you feel about the life.
I know this life from many sides and I am rather mature already to know how to make a man happy.
I don't know if you answer me or not. But why not to try?
I will regret if not to try. I think we should use every chance to find our happiness.
Life is too short to use it only for thinking and dreaming.
I try to act but not only to dream. So here I am Smile

I will not write you much about myself now. I will just give you an idea of who I am.
I work to earn for my living. I have a higher education and I am rather intelligent.
The only one I miss is a beloved person and I want to have a family.
I have really many interests: music, reading, books, computers, movies, good conversations,
sports and many other things which make the life wonderful.
I like beautiful clothes and things. I can't say that I have many friends.
I know many people but I am very picky about the friends.
Friend is a person who will be with me all my life. And I am lucky to have some really good friends.
But I am very sociable that is why there are many people I have good relations with.
I live with my mum and she is very friendly though don't understand each other always.
I am rather independent. And work to be able to pay for the things I want to have in my life.
In some words I can tell you, that I enjoy the life as it is and I love the life with all its aspects.
I am very kind (I am not boasting Smile

) which hurts me often.
But I am strong enough to overcome the hardships on my way.
Well, now it is up to you to decide to write me or not.
Please write to me directly at [email protected]
I must to tell you that I am unable to use mail box of this site because I used services of the Internet cafe.
I still hope for your reply.
Have a good day!
Tatyana

That wording says it's a vlad to me. If it were a lad it would have said "am 29 years". A nice quick way to spot the difference.

The subject line is what got me. Excessive and incorrect use of "the". I have a second email with a different subject but exactly the same content.

Anyway, enjoy Smile
