I don't want to post the names, emails, etc. of the source, but here are parts of two letters I've recently received from gals that have come up, word for word (or pretty damn close) as being from scammers.
I tend to think they are scams, as they are not just run of the mill regular conversational stuff, but, supposedly specific life events...things that in all likely-hood wouldn't be duplicated...
(From someone first name Irina, both in my contact and what I found online...almost verbatim)
Last night, when I have come home, I looked with mum a film about love. I saw protagonists and as it it was good together.
And I thought, how it see fine after all they can each other, kiss, enjoy tenderness, love and happiness. They can concern each other. And we can feel each other only by means of letters.
You understand me XXX(My name) that are not present in LOVE of AGE. IT is true?
I have started to ponder and I have understood that you are pleasant to me more and more, it seems to me that I have fallen in love with you! I know that the declaration of love can frighten you, but I have decided it to make, as I want with you in all to be frank and fair, and still it is heavy to me to hold such strong feelings in myself, after all they are intended for you! I have dared also I it I will tell! I love you! I love you! And I have understood it very precisely! I very much would want, that my feelings to you were mutual. I hope that I as am not indifferent for you and that you test to me too strong feelings!
(from Someone named Svetlana...both in my contact and online..this was verbatim except for age/date)
Frankly speaking I feel a bit confused, because I have never written
to a man through the Internet and I even don't know what to start
with... Well, I will start from the very beginning. My name is
Svetlana and I live in Medvedevo. This is a very nice place especially
in summer and there are a lot of good people here. I was born on the
12 of March, 1985, I am 24 years old, and I think that this is a very
nice age to start a new life! I work in a hospital, and I am a
children doctor by profession. I love children and this is very
pleasant to deal with them. My work is rather interesting, but it is
not easy because very often I am responsible for a kid's life and this
is hard to be responsible for such a serious thing! But I am in my
place and I think that I would never change my work even if I was
offered a million dollars! And what is about you? Tell me what you are
and what are your ambitions in life!
Too funny...I'm picturing some fat, bald Russian dude behind his PC right now....
