very similar emails from different women?
« on: February 14, 2009, 11:49:29 AM »
I've been on fdating.com and a few different women are sending the same type of letter.  Is this a sign of a scam, or is it some kind of common "canned" letter that many women use?  The specifics (eye/hair color, height, weight, birthday, city, etc) are different, but otherwise, the letters are identical.

Also, I want to visit Izhevsk (want to visit the AK-47 museum)  and Nizhny (want to go to the edge of space ride ).  Can someone point me to local agencies that I can get in touch with to make arrangements before I arrive?

Welcome opticalc!

I didn't do any letter writing so am no authority on such.. but my impressions are that it's probably canned if you are using one site, and scam if you are paying for it and not really communicating with women directly.

I took a look at the site, are these replies to a profile you posted?

Sounds like a fun trip you want to take.. I had to lookup the edge of space ride.. sounds like a heck of a lot of fun!  Think I'll save up for the space station tour though  ;D

I'm not much of an agency fan, but have seen quite a few positive remarks over the years with elena's models.  Their ads are all over the place here so just click away.. LOL

Am sure some others with more experience in this area will chip in soon.

Feel free to post a little about yourself in the introductions section:

Always nice to know a little about folks wandering in.

Cheers! and have fun!

I have been using fdating and freepersonals, which apparenty are the same organization?

The canned letters were replies to my replies of their initial reply to my profile.  Now that I look back, both of the initial replies to my profile were almost identical.

Im surprised to hear you say that about elenas models, everywhere Ive read people say they are scammers.

So you didnt write letters or use agency?  Did you just go there for some reason and start meeting women?

I kind of thought it would be a good idea to determine where I want to visit (which ive done) and then get in touch with a reputable local agency, but maybe you are saying that last part isnt necessary?

Ive just posted in intro section.  thanks for the tip.

opticalc,

I do a good bit of traveling without any intentions of marriage and just happened to occupy the same space at the same time, notice that she was pretty cute and managed to open my mouth. Just a typical boy meets girl thing and she happened to be Russian.

That's why I say I'm not much of an expert with the letter writing/agency stuff.

There are many beautiful women everywhere you go so it's all a matter of exposure in my book.  Your current circumstances are a bit well, tricky, so understand your desire to look elsewhere.

How long will you be in Iraq and where do you plan to live thereafter?  I think that's a good place to start..  You can write letters or whatever, find a girl to visit for a short time, but what happens if you meet that 'flame'?  What does she have to look forward to?

Suggest you start reading up on some of the other's experiences, go through the ten commandments and FAQ sections.  That will answer a lot of questions.

Hello all,
I am finding something very similar.  I have done what I read someone here suggest and cut and pasted part of a message from a gal I'm corresponding with to a search engine, and sure enough, big sections of it came up from a scammer email.  Though the last name and pictures were different, it was exact wording.  There are personal parts in the letter too, but 75% of the letter comes up as a form letter from another scammer.

This, by the way, was one of the "cell phone / bath incident" gals who couldn't get a call from me.  Guess it's becoming pretty obvious about this gal.

Had the form letter been just about generic "I like you.." etc. it would be one thing, and maybe I'd write it off to her just having a bad command of English and using something she saw, but it was about her watching a romantic movie with her mom. 

So, I guess using the "cut and paste" of messages and doing a search, along with a call early on, is proving to help me out in separating the potential scams.

(btw, I bumped this thread up because it seemed related (similar email text) as well as I'm having issues posting a new thread)).

Hope this helps out some other newbies too...
