I had a profile posted on an American dating web site and a female from my area answered me.
Her letter was a few lines long, in good English and she seemed honest and cute, so I replied.
The letter said she had a read-only trial account and would not be able to receive messages,
so she included a yahoo email address. She asked me to write to this yahoo email address.
I did this and a few days later her trial account was gone, she explained that she deleted
it because she found me. (that is what she answered, when I asked her about it)
This girl claimed to live in Kazan, Tartastan, 26 years old and called herself Barbi.
There was something suspicious about her letters, in particular I always had the
impression that she did not really read mine every time. Sometimes she wrote
personal, matching replies, then sometimes not. her photos of which she sent
about 25 so far, had number like 5.jpg, 6.jpg, 35.jpg etc.
Yesterday I did a query for some phrases of some of her emails and found them
posted on 2 other web sites. Apparently she wrote identical letters to other guys
using different names and different pictures. She or he asked those guys for money,
supposedly for tickets or visa paperwork. I guess I am lucky that she never asked
me for any money. However, I felt fooled when I saw "my" emails had also been
sent in parts to other guys.
For that reason I will post her here letters. I know that parts of these letters
have been posted on 2 other sites, but not all.
I include the full headers in the first email. The sender comes from a russian
dial-up but in another email I sent her a URL to one of my web sites and apparantly
"she" uses some sort of satellite DSL for the downstream, the IP number was
84.xx (to be filled in later).

men which is more senior than me and can learn me to something in this

you. I think, that you read my structure and could see there, that I
haves serious intentions to get acquainted with the good person for
relations . I shall try to tell a little about my character. I do not
know as it to start, I think, that I very romantic person. I like to
communicate with people, it is pleasant to me Good humour. I very much
appreciate such qualities in people, as fidelity and honesty. I
believe in love, and I think it very valuable thing which needs to be
protected. I very much The jealous person. I adore, when to me pay
compliments and is ready to listen to them indefinitely. For me it is
necessary, that around of me there was a cleanliness and the order, I
frequently am engaged cleaning. Also to me to like to prepare for a
meal, various tasty things. It is pleasant to me romantic relations
between the man and The woman, but probably all women dream to get
acquainted with good The person to have with him beautiful romantic
relations. But frequently such things come to an end Very quickly. I
have no intention to spend myself on such acquaintances. While I have
not met In the life of such person to which I would decide to give
myself and the life. But me it would be desirable to find such person.
I think, that for the woman the main thing to have in a life not
Career or other success, and strong family and the favourite person
beside what to care of him. Tell please, you dream to meet what woman
in the life? Excuse Peter, that I ask you to discuss such frank thing
with The person whom you know couple of days. But it is interesting to
me to know It about you. I shall wait for yours e-mail. Yours

Letter 5:
Hi , I was sad that you do not write me and do not answer on my
letters. There can be I you than that has offended or you simply play
with me in games? I wait from you of the answer. Yours Barbi.
At that point I had started to ignore her because her letters were ridiculous, not reflecting what I had written.
However, things picked up then again..
I plan on using the 5 oldest threads (976..980) Kazan Parts 1 -5 for general purposes and leave active baiting threads alone, except on one of the most active draw attention of discussants.
A hypthetical question
1) I buy round-trip air ticket from my local agent and mail it along with original receipt to a Russian
2) The Russian takes them to a local branch of Tax Ministry and pays taxes on it and gets a receipt
3) Further assume the Russian has fulfilled all necessary visa requirements and obtained a US Visa to visit me
Now my question under these circumstances, AS FAR AS THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION IS CONCERNED, can this Russian simply board the plane, free to leave Russia to visit me?
Eddie might raise this scenario with his Russian diplomat friends, and post if there is something else still remaining from the Russian side.
good question OJAS...sadly, I'm not meeting them again until the NY,
but one works in the consular section and I'll ask him when I get the chance.

A real girl will likely be appreciative if the guy goes this length, even offer to absorb the small tax on the air-fare as her share. Let's see the feasibilty of my desire to protect a guy as well as a real girl.

I see you copied some of my Russian posts on the Natalia from Ossiniki thread?
But why would you want to transcribe them into cyrillic? It's just me calling the scammer
that crawled onto the thread a worthless, lowlife scumbag (etcetc) in Russian, generally
verbally abusing him, and he replies to me in kind (actually all the cyrillic parts are his).
I deliberately didn't use cyrillic so that no-one else would be offended by my language.
(and actually I notice that you've repeated a couple of lines).
nothing much to understand really ;D...but I can tell you that sukin syn = son of a bitch

Dosn't most computers in Russian Internet cafes show The Bat! (v3.85.03) Professional as the X Mailer? IS this standard OP for cafes?????
you're almost right. It's not unusual that Russian internet cafés install the BAT!. I
discovered this myself in a café in Ulyanovsk. And a real Russian girl used to write to
me from a café in Saratov that used the BAT!
the reason is that the BAT! is normally used for spamming, and the cafés can
make a bit of extra cash on the side renting out to spammers.
Unfortunately, very many scammers use the BAT! as well, especially the organized ones.
In other words, the BAT! is not a scam certainty on its own, only in combination with
other factors such as spoofed IPs, copied form letters, the use of proxy servers, and so on.
All of these you can find if you click on the welcome page below.
