To ease the tension while we wait to hear our fate, I intend to have a wee chat with Tatyana. Naturally, it will all be posted in here, pictures and all It might even come with a little 'send an email to Tatyana' page that will let you send your greetings directly to of on by up down her address of electronical mail But for that you have to ask to me kindsomely
One day I will work out how to make an open mailbox, listserve-style, on which I will make a fortune from having hilarious conversations with scammers - for all to read on the modern marvel that is the Internet.

I can't tell you all how excited I was to receive such a long email from mys friend Tatyana within the record time of about three minutes. The poor girl must be waiting all alone in Moscow, just praying for my next letter to land in her inbox.
So, she'll be getting the tickets on November 5th. That's convenient because she won't be at work, as the public holiday in Russia means no-one will be working, including the British embassy.

D'ya know what bobs12... I have this horrible but funny feeling that somewhere in this world there may some transvestite 'vebmeister' who is sitting quietly tee-hee-ing to himself as he publishes YOUR replies on his very own website...
I may be wrong - it's just a thought... But perhaps we should do a web search this very minute!!....
It's some Hispanic dude who has already 'scammed a scammer' just like you.... The letters he received are identical - but his bird was called "Vera"...... It's a small old world....

Funnily enough, yep
The way they do this stuff is just copy-paste, copy-paste The original email came to me with about twenty other email addresses all starting with 'Robert' etc. etc.
Ed even has a site which is roughly about the same thing.
What amazes me though is that some guys actually get sucked into such a crude hoax
The transvestite websmeister is welcome to post my emails I just sent him/her, er, it a couple of photos of Ingvar Kamprad Heh heh.

To which I received a bizarrely enthusiastic (speed-fuelled, no doubt) reply:
Now, I wonder if the reference to her mum means that I've passed the number of emails required for them to actually start reading, or at least skimming through, what I write. So I'll be a bit less tongue in cheek from here on in
Quote: it's not their fault that the Wombles disappeared from Wimbledon Green
This guy's obviously a complete cad and bounder. Any real Brit should know it is Wimbledon Common.
Own up, Bobs12, this whole site is a front for a white slave trading enterprise!
Hey Bob, what a great laugh. I am apparently in contact with the same 'lady' tatyana. I have gone through the same crap letters as you received, but am having a great time. Was your Tatyana a blonde with the best tits in the world ? Apparently there is a brunette scammer using the same name. Dont they have too many names to pick from in Moscow ?
Anyway, things are starting to hot up. The latest is that she has her visa for Australia and has paid the 'guarante'(sic) but that has left her short about $aud1200. I thought I might scam the scammer so offered to send her the money. But of course she would not accept it as she has such high morals. As a solution I suggested she send some pics and I would pay for them $25 for pretty $50 for sexy. $75 for Very hot and $100 for my eyes only. Anything to help the poor girl out of a bind !!!
But she has found a solution. Her uncle will pay the money but he lives in new zealand. He lives 350 km from the city ( NZ is only about 200 km long in total) where the nearest Western union office is. So she has asked that I set up a bank account so he can tfr direct to me and I can send it to her. Clever little girl. Sounds reasonable to me. I forgot to tell her that dear uncle could just buy the ticket online for her. But she is so desperately in love with me that she is not thinking straight.
She askrd me to send a picture of me wearing what I would meet her in. I said I had a stylish pinstripe suit. So I sent her a pic of some 'pinstripes" !!! Funny... No response
I didnt get a response to my querie as to whether she and her mum did a double act. But she is probably just asking mum !!
Anyway, she arrives on this Sunday all wet and trembling to get at her. Would you like me to keep you up to speed ?
cheers
Mike

The last email I sent 'her', to which I gont no reply... ...
I think that at that point, they started reading what I was writing
Not long after, though, I got another email from 'Guzel', with much the same headers, delivered to another visarus.co.uk email address (I use a catch-all address for the domain - it causes me lots of truble and I should stop doing it):
Seems the little lady with the 'to die for tits' is swallowing the bait and falling in love with this old codger. What would you make of this ? No.... not the pic, the text. ( Dirty little boy !!!"

Hello slavering pervs...
Couldn't understand all the 'sexy nonsense' myself - but would like to point out that it was, indeed, a HOLIDAY in Russia today - but not due to "Today day of elections in the STATE DUMA of the RUSSIAN FEDERATION "....
Today day of.... Erm... SUNDAY..... an' I normally get a holiday then, anyway....
Sorry me old china. I didn't mean to move in on your gravy pot. Look, here's the deal. I've been looking with a twinkle in me old eye at her mum. Looks like she needs a little brightening up to me. Know what I mean. Mum's 52 and looking in need of a good root. And, well I would only admit it to my closest friends here but I am 63. So boning mum is a definite proposition. This is where you win Bob. I will tell Titiana that i really want to bonk her mum, which leaves the way open for a smooth operator like you to slide right in. ( Maybe I could have phrased that better. Been me chat Ruskies with too long. need i think English teacher show me speak exceptional.)
But mate, honestly. Do those tits look real to you? or you just driven totally crazy by command of the language.
BTW thanks for the link. Elenas Ruski models is a great site and sight. Leave the Oz chicks for dead.
Keep you posted. The next exciting episode is that Tityana's lovely 'uncle' in NZ is going to deposit $1200 to myMY account tomorrow. I AM confused. But this is Russia after all.
Your salivating oz mate
You didn't happen to get your money today did you Ozzie?
The nutcase just sent me this:-
How are you????????
I hope that you well today and you very much to wait for my letter.
I only have not so good news, my uncle could not will translate money today.
Its bookkeeper has been borrowed today, and it simply had no opportunity to translate
money................. I very much hope that it can do it tomorrow.
It is very a pity to me, that I cannot write to you much, but I to try to save money.
Internet cafe to take it is a lot of money, and I cannot write the letter each time when I want.
But I very much love you, and I promise that all will be good.
Please to not worry, we shall be together................... I swear to you.
Millions kisses for you.
Looks like our Russian friend has a new email address. One that Google doesn't return scam warnings for. Hopefully this thread will get indexed.
I'm a little suss that "Mr Adam George" doesn't speak English though. Maybe this is all just one big lie! lol

Maybe I'm just slow and not quite focussing at 10am after not sleeping all night... what's she up to?
Obviously the address is fake - and a quick Google search brings it up as a street 'address' given by scammers as being in more than one town... Can I guess that the next move is...
a) Her 'uncle' unexpectedly dies in a freak yachting accident, leaving her stranded without money and needing you to send your own, or...
b) Mr Adam George exists somewhere in New Zealand, and is being told that you are her uncle... will theoretically actually send you money, which you should theoretically actually send to her? my head is spinning
Somebody please explain this hocus-pocus to a very tired bobs12
Don't worry - I'll make sure the thread gets picked up in Google - will change the title to grab attention and put a couple of links to it elsewhere
Th"uncle" sent some money yesterday apparently. So I emailed our little Russian friend today and told her that hey guess what! Some money did appear in my babk today but the name and amount is slightly different.
I told her "There is one payment in the bank that I don't know about, but it is from "Mr Adam Grant" and the amount is $1427 so I don't think that is from your uncle."
lol
She has absolutely flipped.
---------------------------------
My love Sam!!!!!!!
Are you there?????????
Please write me that happined????????
You went to the bank, the uncle has told that money already in your Bank.
Please go to Bank to receive money.
I am very worry.
I think, that it and is money from my uncle.
Therefore. That it has told that money its bookkeeper most likely will send.
You understand it???????
Please to go and take away this money.
I wait for your letter.
You can go to Bank right now??????
Tatyana.
---------------------------------
I'll play along with "no, I really don't think this is your money. I don't know who it belongs to, but I will have to wait for a deposit from Adam George".
Well, it looks like I wont be getting a Christmas Card from "Tatyana".
I told her that I didn't think the money was from her "uncle" because the name was a bit different. Today I told her sorry but I took her money to the horses to see if I could win her some more, but I lost the lot!
She replied, but this time without all the love and kisses. lol
I'll give her the link to this thread, so he/she/it??? can see just how stupid she is.
There endeth my russian scammer idiot fun, for now.

What was her last reply? Go on, drag it out a bit longer
I always wanted to either get a scammer to wire me money, or tell them that I'd sent them money, but it had to be picked up from a specific Western Union office (like in Moscow or somewhere equally arseholeish to get to).
Now listen guys, you need to be a tad shrude here. This is where I am up to with Tatyana of the fabulous t... eyes !!
Yep, I set up a bank account as requested. Sure enough a couple of days later $AUD1475.00 appears as if by magic from her dear and very generous uncle. So, I just waited until it cleared ( All the while expressing my eternal undying love of this beautiful girl and her uncle) Then I just went and withdrew the money. No problems.
I think that the way the scam works is that there is some poor horny bloke in NZ (Probably married) who cannot send her the dough by direct transfer (Wives get a bit touchy about dad sending large amounts of cash to a 26 year old in Moscow) So the poor fellow draws it out of his account in cash at an ATM. But his limit is $500 per day. Too slow says Tats, so he offers to do a transfer Westpac to Westpac bank. Tats says to send it to her dear frail uncle in Australia and he will send it on to her.
So, now I have the cash, and if she wants it she may have to prove a few things because I am becoming just slightly suspicious. I have asked her for a high quality picture of herself holding her open passport in one hand and her Australian visa in the other hand. Up close so that I can read the details. And here is the master stroke. I have told her that I need her to write my name with marking pen on her left breast. !!!!! She has said that she is off to the photographer. Nice girl my Tatyana !!!
If she comes up with the required photo ( It is really just the "Scam the Scammer" trophy) then, being the wonderful person that I am I will offer to purchase her ticket online so that she can just pick up her eticket at the airport as she rushes hot and wet into my tired old arms.
What would you guess are the chances of the ticket being at the airport ???? But the trip to the airport will be good for her.
By the way, I reported the incident to both the Australian federal and state police just to cover my ass. Surprise, surprise they were not interested in investigating the matter.
I will keep you posted.
I have contacted the Ozzie Federal & State police. All they can do is an "intelligence" report to Interpol who then "maybe contact the Ruskies. They were seriously disinterested although they are aware of the scam.
A guy in Sydney has pushed pretty hard and the Russian police have recently arrested ONE couple. They have been running this scam for 2 years. Apparently they have ripped off 1500 men for $US 1.5 Mil. There are about 10 sites which offer blacklists of scammers. Each has 1000-2000 'ladies' on file. It is huge, which is why it is a triumph to " Scam the scammer"
I am intrigued by the cultural differences between countries. Seems that the Russians are extremely generous. I am an old guy of 62, my friends reckon I am as ugly as "a hat full of assholes". Yet here we have this 26y/o beautiful lady, who does not know me, sending me extraordinary pics AND money. Just imagine what she would do if she knew me ?
But I must admit to being just slightly concerned. I have a yacht at the local marina. My neighbours are good blokes so I told them what had happened. They have each asked that their yachts be relocated. Seems that they are worried that those Sam Missiles are not all that accurate.
