Damn you to hell you succubus whore! Stop sending me your drivel! Tell that stupid bitch who created you (and by you I mean your robotic auto-reply persona) that you need a fucking update or something and she needs to get back in the kitchen where she belongs. If I ever need someone to make me a spamwich I'll let you know.

Why not! They speak our language, they understand our way of thinking and it seems to be one of their favorite and most profitable pass times!!!!!
FOOLS RUSH IN------
Thanks
I am a decent guy but no idiot I recently started chatting to a young girl from Russia who wanted to meet in Lithuania.
We chatted on the Internet and got on really well so I booked a room at a hotel in Vilnius one for me and one for her and waited and guess what she turned up.
She was everything she said she was I treated her like a gentleman and we had the best time ever.
No sex just fun she paid for her own train fare and even bought presents for me.
We will meet again soon and see how it goes.
Was it worth going through all the scammers to find her ....bet your life it was.
Oh man this is good timing boys.
So i get this message on a dating site from this hotter than my usual ones saying to write her at a yahoo.com email address. Her profule says she is in my city andit is written in normal english and is a pretty unsuspecting profile. Except she is hot.
So I write an email and say hi. This is Sept 26. S he writes back the next day and says she is actually in Russian. And is lonley..the english is all over the place. But the jist is she wants to have a man win her heart and not hurt her. More photos and asks for my picture. Ok whatever i send one. So everyday since I get thia 4 or 5 pargraph letter saying how i am touching her heart and giving her hope and asks a few quetions that are kind of hard to understand. Its kind of weird..but shes hot so i go what the hell and start throwing some enegy at it. Long story short she now says she loves me..wanted my phone number so she could call me this weekend....gave it to her yesterday...and now she says she is coming to see me in Canada on Sept20. WTF!! Thats 2 weeks. She didnt ask if that was a good time to ome or nothing. Here is the hook I think....this is from her email....
""I really don't know what to make. Really I don't have big economic means,
I don't guarantee that it will be enough.
It is necessary to use the best efforts, that we could be together.
Anyway it is our meeting and we solve problems of the organisation of my trip...
The organisation of our meeting is a general question for us.
We should care about each other. Care - one of important things in relations.
If there will be no trust and care then relations will not exist...
You could ask some important questions about my arrival to you?
Write your ideas, ok, my love?""
OK dudes. Wake me up on this. I am a sucker for good looking woman. Just got fleeced good by a local one too.
it aint right is it? I am gettting pissed as i write this...I want to play along and find a way to fuck her back for toying with people like this. I am single father of three. they could use a hot russina mom.

I had a contact out of the blue through Zoosk saying she was in my home town, until I emailed her and found out she was in Sarov, Russia. She's supposedly a police dog handler and has sent me lots of photos and very sweet emails.
Everything was going swimmingly until today, when after saying she would visit soon, and got a visa, she suddenly tells me that to get a refund on her plane ticket (as her government pay her flights), that the flights need to be paid for in advance and she doesn't have enough to pay for them. She's kinda hoping that I will come up with the £390, but as soon as I saw that I was on the net looking for that kind of scam, and here I am!
She sent me photos of herself, her parents (also in police), her pets and group of friends. I didn't think there was a problem, as also photos in her police uniform too.
Has anyone any idea if this is the real deal or just another mug to be?

Just a heads up
1. If you want to find good Russian girl - internet is the wrong place to do so. Ten to five years ago Russian girls did beleive they can find love in web. But now internet is full of people who failed to find a girlfriend in their own country and think that for Russian girl any moron boyfriend is a prince on white horse.... So, Russian girls try to find boyfriend among friends, colleagues, and sometimes during their short term holiday visits to holiday destinations.
2. Average Russian girl today earns about 15 to 20 k USD per annum (secretary, back office manager). So if she likes you and wish to meet again she can afford it. If she says she cannot, do come yourself (Of course if you think she is worth it). Late spring or summer preferably. Moscow is really beautifull. And all ladies look amazing without winter coats.
Good luck to all of you!
She has only seen 2 not so great photos of me and many letters.
All of her letters, pictures and videos seem very sincere. I want this to be real but after ready so many comments I begin to wonder. Many of my questions go unanswered and I just chalk that up to the language barrier. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to nip this in the bud and find a way to discover if this is a scam before she actually asks for money. Much appreciated gang. Alg
I've been reading for a week now all the comments about russian girls scams, here is why. I am a paranoid freak, I got that from my parents. Any of your stories would not have even tempted me, they seem to be soooooooooo obvious. Here is where I stop looking from above and understand you all : I met my russian babe on vacation. I actually had a great time for the few hours I had with her, she even put out. Now, I tend to have a pretty good opinion of myself but I do have a hard time believing that someone can fall head over heels for me that fast. We skype regularly and we aslo text, somehow, there are time (text) when she can totally understand everything I say but when on skype it becomes a bit harder to communicate, I'm thinking that texts are written by Boris instead... She hasn't asked for any money yet, just for us to see each other as soon as possible for our love not to fade away. There are so many things that lead me to believe it's a scam but then again, none of the scams I have ever read about actually discuss grils you would have met in real person as a connexion point instead of just plain internet. I am served the standard love names instead of my name, makes it easier not to mess up, I see discrepencies between levels of English, depending on the communication mode, I find that the degree of intensity is too high (you are my life!!), etc. On the other hand, I could explain most of it by wishful thinking but it's not my type. Regardless of my suspicions and my paranoid personality, she is sooooooooo good that the question needs to be asked, could it be true ? Heart vs Brain... Hard fight !!! Maybe I'll have my answer as soon as we decide to make a move and see each other and then be asked for money but so far I've been avoiding that moment in fear of beeing right, sometimes I hate to be right... Any of you ever heard of "in-person vacation scams" ?
These are the ways I protect myself without spending a coin.
1) Use http://www.iptrackeronline.com/email-header-analysis.php.
Right click her email, click properties, details tab, and copy the entire message source. Paste it into this awesome email-IP tracker.
Usually it's a given it will trace the email directly to the host city where the email originated. It hasn't failed me yet. That's the first thing I do whenever I receieve the first contact message to my private email.
2) If you can't verify her location via email trace, then ask her to send you an email through a different verifiable account - for your own sanity sake.
3) After that is done, the next important step is to politely demand communication via a simple cheap laptop and use the Skype program. Laptops have a built in webcam and it's 100% free to both cam in skype and also full 100% voice communication while you cam to save tons on phone bills. This way you KNOW she is who her pictures say she is.
4) It could still be a scam op of course and takes further research to uncover those. I use google for the email address and phone number to see if there any hits on scam sites, also the full given names. Another popular method is to copy/paste the entire first paragraph of any email letter she sends and see if there are comparable hits on google. I've had that happen before and it was a close friend who suggested I try it. Most scam letters come up word for word this way.
5) The last method I use is to always offer to GO THERE first. If she is serious in her intent, she will be thrilled to see you in her hometown or close-by. This way, you dont send a cent to her(him probably) but prepare yourself for an alternative vacation there if she turns out to be not true and instead spend your time enjoying yourself in the area.
Hope this helps someone.
Question I have is for guest from Jan 20th, who ever you might be, but I do gather that you might be Russian yourself from your comments.
If many other cultures are still using the Internet in today's fast paced lifestyle why then would decent Russian ladies be excluded?
Yes, on both sides of the divide there are the abusers of any system, but too there are also just as many who use the system as designed and are genuine seekers? Not so?
My suggestion is, keep looking use all methods of technology offered but give the respondent a chance.
If in doubt test the waters, Rebel99's advice is sound.
Carry on, dummies.
Cheers,
Terry
Does anyone know how this is possible please
