That no good cheating tramp slut! Tanya said she was MINE - and that she
vuz vaiting for me in Siberia - vhere it very kold.

Tanya! Tanya! You slut! Come back to me!

Iv'e had these contacts when on other sites and one way that kills them
is to tell the girl I'd love to visit Russia.

Then I ask her for financial assistance so I can get there.

Needless the say they don't write again.

Dam..no holiday for me it seems.

The web is filled with the "love scams". The first wave of these
women with their own agenda started out in South Africa and Ghana. You'd
receive a picture or two of a "drop dead gorgeous woman". Like
bearandwhiskey mentioned, after the second or third email, they would
profess their unyielding love for you. Their current family situation
has depleted their savings, and asks you for financial assistance. Once
into the U.S., I.N.S. will never hear from them again, but bet your
farm, they will be a frequent visitor at your door. Yes, Russian women
are hot. Hmmmm, let me think...........Moscow with a bad economy, or
Ft. Lauderdale, playground to the wealthy........hmmmmm......NO BRAINER.
Gee, how many of you have received an email (example) from Dr. Charles
Mangodo, vice president of the South African Oil investment Bank? Sound
familiar? I am a licensed private investigator, able to presently work
in 22 states. I have affiliate investigators in the Ukraine, and in
South Africa. All these stories (nightmares, actually), I've heard
hundreds of times. The latest entry into the love scam, is China. Over
half of these dating sites are breeding grounds for these scammers. My
final thought is the Latin term: Caveat Emptor.

I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one.
A year ago I had two different women contact me, one claiming to be
from South Africa and the other from Russia. They did everything that
has been described on this thread.
They wanted me to give out my home address so they could ship boxes of
their clothes to me. In return, I'd recieve $40,000 for helping out.
They went into detail about how their fathers were the heads of oil
companies and how urgent the situation was for them to get to
America.

Hmmmmm.............how large of a wardrobe could you buy with 40k???

If anyone receives messages like that on THIS website, please let us
know through the Report Abuse feature. We want to make sure we get rid
of all the scammers as quickly as possible.

I've never had one of those here, nyet, not a one. JSH, making the
world safe from deceitful Russian scammers!

But, really, Mike, there are sites that I think are nothing BUT sneaky,
crafty Russian women....

I wonder, if I lived in Russia, would I be getting scam schemes from
deceitful American women....? Because there ARE deceitful American
women out there. I was married, I should know....

That's it. I'm going to start haunting Russian dating sites, type in
stilted Russian and look for a rich woman to move me to Moscow.

You like nice American men, yes? You like I should play on computer for
you? Iz zat vat you vant, darlink? ;)

I just got one of those emails here too in badly written English. From
the sounds of it, Russian in origin. On another site I used to get at
least 4 a day from ladies who were supposedly born in the U.S. but are
currently in Africa on "business" I wonder what business they are in?

Oh and one other thing, to the guy with no cell phone, I reported you to
the Cell Phone Police, expect a knock on the door momentarily should be
a geeky looking guy saying "can you hear me now".

Here's one I just got, and she claims to be from NEW YORK!

==============================================================

i am a cool and honest lady, my name is rose and a sinere indeed, loyal
to love, honest to men, respect every kinds of people around the glove,
irrespective of thier colour, identity, affairs, degree or profession
all i want is a real and
honest love men just i am honest to all

==============================================================

"around the glove...."?? I'm assuming she means "globe," but it's still
funny....

The scammers are very easy to spot. Basically, if you're 40s and beyond,
and you get an email from a woman in her 20s who's basically "gorgeous
beyond belief," chances are she (if, indeed it's even a she) is a
scammer.

true jeanc and most of these people have no plans to leave home they
just want the money.

OMG Jean, Say it isn't so. All the time I thought they wanted me for my
mind

damn..... what if you're knocking on 40 and not even getting scammer
emails from russian women, is that a really bad sign??
