I've been writing a very attractive woman for the past several weeks and it's been going ok.  I am taking the time to learn about her.  Not making any hasty decisions or jumping into a snakepit.  She just turned 34 and is a single mom. 

Ok, so that's the basic history.  We chatted today on love.mail.ru and for some reason she decided to give me her password with her email.  I already had her email and we exchanged letters, so I was totally surprised by this...

A few things come to mind.  One she wants me to trust her?  Or she wants to know if I can be trusted?  Either way, I feel really uncomfortable with this information.  I will probably write her later today and mention that she had given me her password and ask why?

I may even ask her to change it because it's her private mail.  I don't need to know what mail is coming or going.  This was a thread sometime ago, but when a woman you barely know gives her password, well that's a new one on me.

Hmmm...she really likes you?  OR, smart girl and scammer...she had a different email account for each guy and "demonstrates" her trust by giving each guy the password.  And when you log into her account...she only gets letters from you!  Nice move :)

Possible, but not likely about being a scammer.  Age, income, and child at home just don't fit the usually senerios.  It would take a lot of email accounts to do what you've suggested.  Not likely, but possible.

A typical scammer wouldn't go through the trouble of keeping many email accounts like that.  I think she might be testing me?

We'll see later in the process.

P.S.  She's not from an agency but a Russian web site which has fewer scammers because they don't often expect American men to visit.  Not to say they don't scam FSU men, but it's not a good scam to get nothing from someone...:-)

Unless you are willing to recipricate why would you accept her password? I see her jesture as a trust offering. Either that or she does not understand what she has done. I do know that several weeks ago I set up for my RW and her daughter two hotmail accounts. I have the password because I set it up for them. But I do not want to know the password so when I travel to Russia next week we will make new email accounts and they will know the passwords, not me. It seems that some sense of privacy needs to be maintained and trust will develop from it as a result.

PeeWee,

I haven't.  I will write her later and explain that she had given me her password.  But why?  I'll let her explain and then decide.  I just found it odd and unusual, that's all.

Michael, are you making any headway with RW or are you so suspect of all RW that you discount everyone of them as being a potential scammer? Just curious about it because of your advice offered here.

Does he have a 50% 50% chance of her being one or the other of your opinions? Is the glass half empty or half full here? In your opinion. I think that he might look at this as a positive offering. At some point you need to bridge the pitfalls and find out what is really on the other side. Not worry so much about getting  burned in the wallet and find out if your will be rewarded in the matters of the heart. I worry about some of you lads. You cannot be so worried about losing a couple of K in this endevor. Did any one ever tell you, "Hey, you better not learn to walk or you might fall down and get hurt?" Of course not! Take every opportunity that you get and go with it until it becomes so evidient that you either chose the wrong one or the right one.

PeeWee,

I don't think there's a scammer behind every email or personal advert on the net.   But it's wise to be alert and keep your eyes open.  I was scammed once by a girl in Chernovtsy.  It wasn't easy to hide so much from me without help or I would have found out earlier she met, got pregnant, and had a baby within twelve months. 

Now I have to admit, I was distracted by my work and writing so I never saw it coming until a friend in Chernovtsy pointed it out to me.  Surprise!

I am still too distracted sometimes to keep the writing going.  I had twelve or more women on my list who were writing me.  But I'd go days without replying because I had a deadline to get the novel completed and back to my editor.  Thank goodness it's ready to go in a week and I can concentrate on a few women I met online.

So the surprise password was a new twist in this relationship.  I will let you know how it turns out later.  Maybe she didn't understand because she writes few men directly or trusts me?  Who knows!!!

You might just teach them how to change the password on their account. No need to make new ones.

Maybe if there was a pause in correspondence she thought you needed or forgot the password to read mail she sent with her webmail account.

Believe me it's a logical conclusion for folks that don't use the computer much. Part of my job is to assist normal people do what they need to do on the net. I love it and spend much of my time ROFL.. not because they are stupid, but that they come to such funny situations in ways that makes perfect sense.

Actually, PeeWee, I have been very lucky because I usually write a lot before meeting. Small sample size with quality can work and it has for me.  I'd say I have invested lots of time in about a dozen girls, to answer your direct question.  Two were "nice" scammers who wanted only to have a good time and the other 10 were really looking for a husband.  I don't regret any of these encounters or meetings.  Now, having said that, let me address the underpinnings of my advice to Jon.  I invested in 12 girls, but I had letters from hundreds of girls.  Those who did stange things, like offering to fly to New York to meet me or offering me their passwords to their yahoo account, I passed on and did not invest my time and efforts with.  Jon's latest might be a real gem.  But my experience says she wears a sign that says...."Buyer Beware"[/quote]

You should invest in a woman, regardless of her color.
Blue would be strange. The trick is in the choosing.
Invest yourself emotionally.

Okay Photoguy,

I'm stumped.  What does this really mean "You should invest in a woman, regardless of her color."?

We don't invest in women.  Sorry, but they are not a commodity.

It is interesting to learn of the different methods that we all use, Michael. I have the done the one at a time. I have not run in to a scammer as a result but that is not to say that I wouldn't have had I continued on this path. As it turned out the second one that I met three years ago I am still with. As you may recall me telling that we have met 4 times, all meeting were in the US. I will spend some time with her on this up coming trip to Russia. I leave in 2 days. I am looking forward to seeing her in her home setting.

When I first met her I had received the numerous red flag warning from the forum membership. I listened but my common sense told me to find it out for myself. They were all wrong it seems. I could not have done better for myself. The only downside I can see to it is that she has to be one of the most arrogant women I have ever known. She was one of the most stand-offish I had met. When she finally removed the mask she turned out to be what I suspected. A very warm and caring woman.

Shadow,

It's not a problem, I have a new friend from the CIA:

Gary is a former U.S. intelligence official and diplomat who is now a freelance book editor and novelist. With two master's degrees (foreign affairs and governmental administration), degrees in publishing and editing, and experience as a former managing editor of the U.S. government's foreign media news agency; arts and entertainment columnist for four foreign national-level newspapers; extensive residence in East Asia and the Mediterranean; professional drama training (at Arena Stage in Washington, D.C.); and experience, soloist experience in both musical comedy and opera, training in Chinese brush painting, and production work on such major motion pictures as "The Deerhunter," "The Killing Fields," "Good Morning Vietnam," and "Volunteers," Gary has a rich background to help him in his current work as a book editor.

--

He takes good care of me...;)
