Maybe this might help someone to identify email scammers during the first messages. For a comparison at the end of my post is a brief conversation with a genuine woman showing how quick you can go from meeting a woman on a dating site to video chat.
This site looked to be loaded with scammers, so I really didn’t bother throwing in any humour or thought into my messages.
I first contacted Daria, because I visited her city before. Then the floodgates opened and I had loads of email scammers in a matter of a week messaging me.
Some preempt my obvious question to move to an app like Whatsapp. Some I preempt, especially when it’s from the Donetsk region.
During the last few years I don’t know of anyone who has met a genuine woman from there online. All have been scam profiles. If you take some comments on scam baiting forums as fact, Nigerians are behind a lot of these profiles from the war zone. It’s a great cover story for a scammer.
Davo:

Basjaska:
Hello! Let's get acquainted! What are you looking for on this site,
maybe I will be interesting for you? Mail me sanretxa //gmail //com
Davo:
I’m looking for a genuine woman..... are you one?
Basjaska:
I am single) Write me a mail and we will talk and i send you my foto)
Davo:
Send me your whatsapp or skype details ?
Basjaska:
HI! I have not WhatsApp and Skype) Write me a mail and we will talk and i send you my foto
Davo:
If You don’t have whatsapp or skype, how do we get to know each other? and how do you know i’m a real man?
Basjaska:
I want to believe you that you are real! Let's talk! I only have mail, unfortunate!!
Davo:
You must only be new to international dating... I hope you don’t mind, but here’s some tips.
Only 5 percent of men you chat to here are real and serious enough to get on a plane to visit you.
You will face fake profiles and scammers. Men who just want to live an online fantasy. Men who just want sex talk or are sex tourists.... even married men.
I’ve meet many genuine women in Russia and Ukraine online and several in Russia in real life. All had access to whatsapp and insisted on chatting there. It’s very smart for a woman to do this, so she knows the man is real and serious.
Trust me, don’t waste your time emailing men, go straight to whatsapp and see if there is actual chemisty.
I can guide you through the steps of installing it on your phone.
Basjaska:
Thanks) But my phone doesn't support any apps!!
Davo:
Oh well .... You have a phone at least. Whats your phone number?I’ll call you directly and we can chat.
Basjaska:
Sorry, I won't give it, I don't know you! Let's recognize each other by mail)

This is a conversation with a genuine down to earth woman, I met on fdating a couple of years ago in her early 40’s. She was from Sochi and had a picture of her riding a horse (I had the same profile pic) and noticed she viewed my profile......I had to re-write a few massages so they made sense. She spoke reasonable English, but her writing was hit and miss. She was definitely not using a translator.
It took an hour to get her off the site and video chatting. Half that time was her getting prepared for our first face to face online encounter.
This is about as easy as it gets, some might take a few days before we left the site.
Davo:
Anna, I see you admiring those hind quarter muscles!! )))
Anna:
Hello Davo)
Ohh!! yes you have a strong horse
Davo:
There are two hind quarters in that picture😉
Anna:
Hhaa!! a comedian)))
Davo:
No, just a normal man with bad pickup lines🙄, who’s looking for that strong Russian woman that can stop a galloping horse)))..... Maybe that’s you?
Anna:
😁
Anna:
Of course i’m a strong Russian woman!! and I’ve stopped lots of galloping horses!!
Anna:
You know a strong woman needs a strong man. Are you this man?😉
Davo:
Ohh Anna!! ... of course )
Davo:
You’re good fun to chat with, so let’s not waste time here. It’s getting late for me, but would you like to video chat?
Davo:
My whatsapp number is........ I have Skype too.
Anna:
Yes I’d like to see you. My number........
Davo:
Ok great!!.... I’ll find you on whatapp now.
Anna:
Ok Davo. Please allow me some time before you call.
Davo:
No problems....How long does it take you to choose a dress and do your hair and makeup? 😜
Anna:

Davo:
See you soon Anna 🙂
