Email #4 -- Opinions please
« on: June 14, 2010, 02:07:18 PM »
This is the 4th email between a very lovely lady and me. Is she a scam or is this a normal occurrence?

Only the names and email addresses have been changed to protect any who may be innocent.


Dear Mister!

We are writing to you in order to report that your Lady can't answer
you. As you know, Oxxxxxxk doesn't know English, that's why she was
using the services of our agency. Our agency "Translation For You" suggests
services of translating and Internet. With our help people can solve
their language barrier. But we want you not to mix us with the
marriage agency, because it is not so. Oxxxxxxk was our client till
this moment. Your Lady is very interested in you and in your further
correspondence, but she has some financial problems. And now she can't
pay any more for translating of your correspondence. Oxxxxxxk asked us
to report you about this, as she is worried about you.

If you are interested in Oxxxxxxk and want to help her, you can contact
us any time on this e-mail address and we'll give you our price list.

Our private e-mail address is:  XXX_YYY_ZZZ@mail.ru


We'll answer all interesting you questions.

As you have her direct e-mail, send her a short letter that you will use your own translator to write her and she can write you in Russian.

Should you hear from her after that, I would be surprised.
No it is not a dog. Its really how I look.  ;)

The bait.

Is she a scam
It is known as Translation Agency Scam ;). You may well be corresponding with Fat Yuri (see the RWD Glossary: http://www.russianwomendiscussion.com/mwiki/index.php?title=RWD_Glossary) rather than a 'a very lovely lady' - whose pics might have been 'borrowed' from some dating site.

As usual, a translated phone call is better way to go...
Just because the agency is on the take doesn't necessarily
mean the lady is in on it.

Actually the best response is no response.  If you let the scammers know you know.. you can end up in a situation where you mail box is so fill of garbage that your account becomes unusable.

And.. any time this sort of letter goes around.. it is absolutely 100% a scam.  I am betting she was super hot too...

Eric ( Fiction), of course, I agree. To ignore altogether would be  the best way to go. Mine was a stylistically colored way of saying " Thanks. Not interested"  :-).

Oh yeah SUPER hot. The thing that got me alerted at first was that she contacted me. Women that look like that won't usually give 5'8" 50 something year olds the time of day.

So now when you say she was SUPER hot, can you elaborate? Just how hot was the ole gal and don't worry about getting into too much detail. This is the sort of thing that needs to be out in the open. So on a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being hotter than a boiled owl, just how hot was she. Come on. Lets have it. We're here to help but we're going to have to have more cowbell.

In that case... all bets are off.. immediately disregard any sensible course of action or logical thought process and just send her all your banking information so she can sponge you at will.    After all, nothing beats the drool factor!   ;D

Just put in your profile that you're 6'4 and 35. That way you'll be on equal ground when you meet and see that her photos were taken 10 years and 25 pounds ago!  :evil:  

Just kidding, but I bet my Napoleonic complex can whup yours any day!  ;D  You know, I can handle being vertically challenged and now having to wear glasses because god made my arms too short to read... but I do get tired of women laughing at my feet.  It's not quite so threatening so look angry and state "yeah, keep it up and I'll plant my size 6 where it counts".... and hey.. those other rumors are not true.. god took the foot matter to build bigger... um... well... ears!

Okay.. enough with the goofiness.. glad your little inner voice rang out and you were not to blinded by the drool to listen.  It is absolutely amazing that some guys in your situation will come here questioning the sincerity of the "photos" writing to them, only to then turn around an attack anyone who gives them the answer that little inner voice was telling them from the get go.  Just makes you wish there was a catapult handy with a gateway to hell nearby.

I don't know that I have the words to adequately describe this woman. Very blonde, 5"6", 125 Lbs, 33 years old and in my eyes she would have shamed every Victorias Secret model I've ever seen right off of the runway. She is/was fantasy beautiful almost beyond words. She was an 11 maybe a 12!!! Ok a 15, I'm talking drop dead gorgeous. If there are leagues she was way out of mine. This is one of those women that you see on the arm of the multimillionaire playboys. I could post a couple of the pictures, but not knowing if shes even involved in this, I think discression is the better choice.
