Hello!!! My name is Ekaterina! I write to you from Russia. Be not
surprised. But I wish to learn you. I the lonely girl from city
Pavlovo, in Russia. I search for the future husband. And it not a
joke. I write to you from the Internet-cafe. I have seen your address
and have decided to write to you. I think, it is greater success. I
trust in destiny. I for the first time search for the man from other
country. And I hope, it is a correct choice. I think, it is my female
intuition. I ask to answer soon. I send you my photo. I shall wait
your answer with impatience. And certainly I shall answer you at once
and I shall send a new photo. My e-mail: bonitosupra@yahoo.com
That's how Russian women's reputation is created. I could not resist and answered her. I asked her what exactly she found particularily attractive about my email.
My friends were laughing about that....) They told me about Nigerian scum as well. Nigerian people create their profile and in the graph "nationality" they put "native american". For userpic they use a picture of a white girl. And their legend is that the girl wass visiting her dieing relative in Africa and ran out of money...)))
Well, Russians are not that dull, but still it is very sad that the issue above has place to exist.
Because of it Russian girls have a reputation of sexy gold diggers and desperate free loaders. I as a traveler and a single beautiful woman heard this opinion from several men. Sometimes I even notice that they are trying to test me. How do I react? Ask for money in the most open and bold manner! I can offer them to go and spend their money on next date, which will never be. I do not care what prejudiced dudes think about me. Let cheap insecure 40 y.o. losers, who have not been married and never will be, and desperate uneducated and fake girls from Pavlovo go and fuck themselves! Or maybe each other?
I just received the same mail.
ReplyDeleteThis is my answer :
"Hello,
My name is Cédric.
A year ago a russian girl called Katya contacted me as you did.
She told me she was looking for someone abroad because she didn't find the good person in Tatarstan.
She was a teacher, 28 years and good looking. Her parents were dead and she only had a sister and uncle left.
We wrote each other several weeks. She phoned me twice. She didn't have a mobile and connected at work, so couldn't use messenger either.
At the time I thought I had found the perfect person for me.
We planned to meet in Paris, but the trip was too expensive for her.
So she proposed me to visit her. I accepted. I had never been in Russia before.
Few days before my trip, I received a mail of her best friend announcing me she was at the hospital in Kazan. She had a pneumonia.
I asked her friend if I might visit her at the hospital. I was very sad and very anxious about her.
I had no reply. It was too late to cancel my plane tickets, so I went to Kazan in march.
It was very cold and there was snow. At the hotel, I asked the receptionist where is the hospital. "Which hospital ? there are about 10 hospitals and medical houses in the city !" she replied.
So I decided to search the hospital where Katya maybe was. I visited a hospital for people who live in her city, kamskie Polyanie, go. But she was not here.
The day after I visited a second hospital, but in vain...
So I decided to go to Kamskie Polyanie. I thought it would be simple to find the school where she works.
I found a taxi and went over there. Once in the city I asked the taxi driver where is the school. He replied me that there are 10 schools in the city.
He asked a local taxi to help me to find Katya. We went to a school where his children were. We asked the secretaries to help me.
They were nice persons and accepted. They called several schools, I showed them the pictures that Katya sent me of her at school.
Finally they called the passport office and then I discovered the truth....
She didn't really exist. That was a scamm. Few months I found her in a website using a diferent name but the same letters and pictures.
So you will understand that I don't believe a single word of your letter.
I have learnt to find out scammers and my dear, you are not who you pretend to be.
And it's no use to try to convince me. I know the tricks...
Greetings."
Hey Cedric,
ReplyDeleteI am very sorry that you experienced that. Believe me Russian women are really nice (at least some of them). But there are a lot of scammers, who might be not a woman at all. Just in case I can tell you some details. Russia is very big and usually people do not speak English good. The people who speak English usually have mobile phones and computers at home. Usually they are educated and do not send desperate letters.
Also you can notice some bargaining at the end of the email I got. She is telling that if you answer her, she will send a picture. It sounds like trade, normal girl won't offer a deal from the first letter.
People who compose that are good psychologists... But do not be paranoid as well...The truth is somewhere in the middle....
One more thing....If you see the word "internet caffee", this is 100% scamm....Internet caffees are really unpopular in Russia. As a former EY auditor I used to travel over Russia and I am sure that interner caffees almost do not exist, especially in small towns.
ReplyDeleteAnd it always can be worse...Have you seen "Birthday girl" with Nicole Kidman?
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't see "Birthday girl".
ReplyDeleteThe only internet caffee I found in Russia was in Moscow airport.
Scammers always use the same type of letters. Often pictures don't have IPTC datas.
Their IP adresses don't correspond to the town they are supposed to live.
Katya never asked me for money and I don't know why she did that.
Few months later I found her on a russian dating website and wrote her using a nick name. She sent me the same letters and when I proposed to invite her in France and send money for the trip, once again her friend told me she was in the hospital.

I searched the web for "Birthday girl" sypnosis.
ReplyDeleteNow I rememember that movie.
Yes it can really be worse.
I received a new letter of Ekaterina :
ReplyDelete"Hello, my friend Cedric. Now I'm here to write you. I want to tell
you more about myself. My age of 26 years. I like sport. I like
various kinds of sport: cycling, swimming, aerobics and dancing. Also
I adore traveling with friends around my country. Sometimes we take
the tents, make there a fire, sing songs, fool, tell terrifying
stories and cook the food. I like cooking very much: usually fish
soup, millet porridge, and toasts. Generally we have a goodtime. I
adore flowers in all their displays. I think that they make our life
beautiful everywhere: at home, in the streets, at work. As for me I
think there is no woman who doesn't like flowers at all. I prefer
bloody red roses, delicate lilies, and noble irises. When there is a
vase of flowers in the livingroom or on the bed-table it means that
you will be elated all the day, have a desire to do the best for
everybody. I'm fond of dancing very much. I attended dancing classes.
Most of all I like Latin-American dances, because they are so
passionate, rhythmical and active. So I think that's all for now.
Bye, kisses from Ekaterina!"
She didn't even read my letter.
I compared the two pictures of Ekaterina.
ReplyDeleteThe dates are exactly in the same part of the picture. but the second picture is is portrait oriented. So the date should be 90 degrees oriented.

Please show me what you wrote to her...That's interesting...You know it is strange that they did not ask for money...Money is the only point of that as I understand.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that she did not ask you any question. Usually girls are interested in men with whom their "femail intuition" (lol) tells them to marry. It looks that this email is written by an absolutely happy person, who hangs out with friends, does sports, cooks and enjoys her life. A person like that won't send out emails with pictures...
Please answer her and ask why she is still lonely. In Russia a lot of girls of her age are looking for marrige...Let's see what the scammer will answer.
I looked at picture, she is a good-looking girl, sexy body...For my taste she looks kind of cheap, but you know...she has a base for work.
ReplyDeleteAbout date - I never put any date on my pictures...Btw, you can ask her a picture in something or in a postion you want and let's see what she will answer..)) I know that "I want your picture from behind" sounds perverted ))))
I just asked her why her IP adress is in Stockolm. She did'nt reply.
ReplyDeleteShe probably uses proxy.
It might be that this scammer is not Russian. Maybe he is just using Russian woman image for his affairs ...
