Russian internet scam

I've been getting some spam/scam emails lately from a someone who claims to be in Russia. Its along the lines of the Nigerian scammers, with a slightly different angle. They aren't looking to scam greedy people by dangling $47 million United States Dollars. They want to scam people that are hungry for pussy.

I decided to respond and see where it goes. Not with the expectation of any pussy, but to see how long they wait before they try to get money out of me, and also to see how much they will ignore ridiculous, inappropriate, out of context comments that I make. So I thought some might find this whole thing interesting to see how it unfolds. I will share the emails to date. I'd like to include some of her photos for your viewing pleasure, but when I go to the attachment icon and try to upload, I get an error. The file is too big. Can anyone advise me on how to reduce size of photo file?

Can you help me to complete my puzzle!!!??

Hi! Not sure how to start...
OK I will start in a standard way...
We've met each other on a dating site ( craiglist.org )
My name is Svetlana and I'm 26 years old.
I don't have a boyfriend. I want to meet someone special.
Please tell me something about yourself!
I think our heart is like an unfinished puzzle, that is why we search
for the perfect one to complete it!!! Do you think so???
Maybe your puzzle can complete mine?
We will see!!!
Let's try to get to know each other better!
Can I ask you some questions next time?
You can ask me any questions! I don't have any secrets!
I hope we match each other!
If it is meant to be, our hearts will find each other when we meet.
And if our hearts melt together so will our bodies and souls. Then
every word and every touch will fuel our passion flame. I will be
yours, you will be mine, and we will be one.
Oh.... just dreams.....
I'm so tired of being alone!

Waiting for your answer!
I wonder if you like my photos????
Puzzled,
Svetlana ))))))

Hi, this is me again. Sorry I forgot to write you my height. It's 5.5.
There is a saying in Russia (please don't think it's serious, it's
almost a joke) - small women are made for love and tall women are made
for work. I'm not tall but I don't think I'm short either )) I hope my
height is OK for you.
Soon I will come to work over there, my profession is a
cosmetologist. I'm not sure it will be possible to find such work over
there in beauty salon and at first I want to try to work as a
waitress.
I will have a special invitation to work and I would like
to meet a nice man to be my guide or just be good friend to spend time
with. I think that it is hard enough to live in foreign town
without friends and also I have never been abroad.
I want to see real life and it is impossible to see without a
person who knows all sides of the life.
Last few years appeared a special program "Work and travel" for young
people who wants to work abroad. And many people from all over the
world come to your country and it's possible to make good money over
there!!!
I also decided to do it! I've already started to register all
documents!!!
Do you think it's easy to find a work as a waitress in your city?
I finished my work only one hour ago and I'm very tired now. I
will write you everything tomorrow. Sorry this will be short, I'm so
tired now.
I hope you will be at least my friend when I come over there soon!
I'm sending more pics, they are just usual pics.
I don't have another photos now. I will scan more photos for you
tomorrow.....
I will write again tomorrow everything you want to know about me............

Svetlana

****** I'm sending you more photos!!!!
I hope you will like them!!!!
Sorry I look so confused on my pics in a swimming suit! I'm so shy to be photographed in
a swimming suit! I always think if I look good or now and I hope I
don't look fat!
Now I have to go to buy a present for a birthday of my sister
she will be 36 tomorrow. I really have to go or all
shops will be closed soon. I will write you more as soon as I can. I'm in
a hurry now!
Oh ******,I forgot to ask you if you have any Airport in your city? Maybe you
know it's initials (I don't know the right word). Maybe it's called
city code. The code of Tumen Airport it (TJM)
After shopping I will go to bed and I will dream about you and our
meeting!!
Ok I have to run!

Bye-Bye!
Svetlana
 
my second response

Apparently the scammers aren't very smart, or they don't even read my replies. Nothing will offend them in their quest for a sucker. They do however, note my name and now insert it into their response to me.

Hi Svetlana,

God, its great to hear from you. And thanks for the photos. You look great. I just jerked off looking at your bikini shot. Man, you look amazing. Your abs are fantastic. I really love it it when women are in great shape, just like you.

Can you please send me more photos. Especially ones with no clothes on. I want to see your pussy and your titties please.

I love you and can hardly wait to meet you. My city airport is YYZ. Its an international airport. Please get your ticket soon so I can hold you in my arms. I want to make a baby with you.

********
XOXO
 
Thanks Jade for the link. I downloaded the software, selected the photo to be resized (at 20% of original size) and selected folder to put the new downsized photo. But no resized photo where it should be. Any suggestions? I'm a bit of a technoclutz.

Here is her response to my request for pussy shots and my declaration of love. Lucky me. She seems to have fallen in love as well. She's heading to Moscow to begin arrangements for a visa. This girl moves fast. I'm getting ready for the first request for a cash transfer...to take care of legal fees etc.

I am giddy with joy. My new love will soon be in my arms.:rolleyes:

*******!! Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so busy last days! Today was the last day of my
work here. Also recently we celebrated a birthday of my sister,
everything was OK. I bought her a T-shirt as a present.
I told my friends at work about you and they are excited also about
our meeting!!!!
******* as usually I'm sending few pics.
Me in the window of my mother's house.
Me with a kitten (it's not mine, it's a kitten of my friend. I have a
white cat, her name is Dilly).
And one more pic of me dancing! I can do it very well!!!
It's my hobby since I was a kid!
It was a corporate New Year party at my sister's work and she asked
me to dance for them!!!! It was my first experience of dancing in a public
place! That happened last New Year!
I'm always in a hurry last three days! I have to make so many
arrangements! Tomorrow I will start my trip and I will fly to Moscow.
I packed already some things but not all.
It is not that far from my city, about 3 hours by plane. The main
Embassy is in Moscow and all interviews to get a visa people pass over
there. As soon as I come there I will receive more information about
everything and I will write you all details of my visa from Moscow and
then I have more time to write you a nice email.
Now I'm also in a hurry! I have to translate my professional resume into
English because I will need it in Moscow!
****** I think it will be not hard to translate it, I hope so! I just don't
have enough time to I have to do it as soon as I can.
Today came an email for my visa appointment so they are waiting to
have an interview with me and they are ready to give me a visa. They
need to see me and check my background and everything and ask me some
questions but that's OK!
I will try to write you few more words about me! I like to cook, I've
learnt from my mother how to be a good woman and wife. Of course I was
never married but I'm sure I will be a good wife and I will do
everything to make my man happy!!!!!!!!!!!
My mother was a good wife till my father died.....
I'm sorry I became sad again..... So many years passed since my father
died but I still remember him like we talked only tomorrow.
I want my man to be a good man as my father was. I'm not looking for
any special qualities... I just want to man to love me and take care
of me... I'm a one man woman and I don't believe in divorces (I mean I
understand some people get divorced but I want to have my marriage
forever!).
I want somebody who is ready to love me forever.
My favorite color is blue.
My favorite flower is pink rose.
As for music I like relaxing music as Enigma, also I like some rock
and jazz. I like different music.
I would be happy to write you about my favorite movies, books and
everything but my time is limited now and I have to go!!!!
It is so good I'm writing my emails to you!!!!!!!!!! It makes me so
happy and also I can practice my English! Sorry I'm sure I made a lot
of mistakes today but I try to type as fast as I can!!!!!
I don't know why but I think about you every day! When we celebrated a
birthday (I wrote you) my sister asked me why I look so happy! She
thought I've met a Russian man and fall in love with him! She was
shocked when I sad I met a foreign man in Internet and now I think
about this man all the time. Now you know I think about you all the
time!!!!! Really!!!! My mother and sister said they wish me luck and
also they said hello to you!!!
My father would be so happy if he only knew about my future trip and
my meeting with you.... Maybe he looks at me from the heaven now.....
OOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!!!!! I looked at watches here in internet cafe! I have
to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
****** I will write you as soon as I can!!!!!!!!!
As soon as I have enough free time I will write you all things you
want to know!
Thinking about you!!!!

Svetlana
 
I had one of these too and it turned out to be $150.00 for the exit visa from Russia. At the time this was actually the amount needed for the visa (pretty smart of them).

One thing you can ask for when you're ready to end it is to ask for a pic of her holding today's paper with something like: Hi ______ insert your name there in black marker on the front page. That shuts them down everytime.

What you can do to set it up is ask them if they have a digital camera because when it comes time for the newspaper pic, they will say they don't have a camera.....

You should ask about her sister and ask to see pics of her too. Say you have enough money to support two wives and it'd be great to do sisters at the same time.

I bet there IS a "work and travel" group in russia for young hot EE ladies, here's it's called Ivan's Escorts, there it's called Work and Travel ......

If she's attractive enough, you could ask her to escort to make some better money than as a waitress, You could also send her links to some SCs around town saying she can make much more money at these places lol.....

I had one write to me that she had made all the arrangements to come to the US and meet some guy but they backed out at the last minute. Since they already had the visa and ticket they'd just change the ticket to TOronto as opposed to BF Iowa. I said sure, I'd meet her.....then after a few detail emails she came to me with the need for $400.00 to change the ticket destination......whoop
 
Thanks for your suggestions tboy. What I had in mind was not so much challenging them for photos of her sister she's already sent me a photo of her and her sister) or of today's newspaper, but rather more along the lines of 419 scammers webpage - http://www.419baiter.com/games.html where they scam the scammers...lead them on and get them to spend money on travel etc thinking that they are sucking you in for the big score. If you haven't seen the 419 webpage, check it out. Its quite hilarious. I think I need to do some research on there to get some good ideas to string them along.

I will try to write a response to her latest email later today.

LMFAO! I love the reply after you asked for "pussy pics", and they sent you exactly that! Too funny!:D

Good one. I didn't pick up the play on words. I suspect it was unintentional on their part, but you never know.
 
I have no idea what could have gone wrong with the pictures for you. When I use it it is too easy. I choose a new height and width and just rename the file and save it to the same folder that my other one is saved to and it is always there.
 
I'd love to post the pics. I now have them resized to 2.47 kb and 100x75. According to the attachment key, it will take up to 4.7kb and 100x100. But terb still won't accept them. I know you are all dying to see the pussy shot. :D
