Reports :

got contacted by one on Yahoo Uk personals. Replied at first believing her to be genuine. Fortunately, I'm naturally suspicious so by the time I got letter number four I was trawlin the internet for info on mail order bride scams. I think it was when she started falling in love with me at letter three point that stirred the suspicions! Anway, out on the web there are a vast number of sites with details of these women, russian detective, russian brides antiscam etc etc. As i Googled the name anastasiya (no surname at this point) I was led to anti-scam.org where a plentiful list of these scammers are listed. Having been told that she was from Yoshkar-ola in the first e-mail, I looked at the Anastasiya's from Yoshkar' Low and behold there was a solitary picture of 'Anastasiya' Romanova in her little black pants on the floor. You can imagine my fury since i'd only had 'nice' photos with clothes on!!! ha ha Anyway, I promptly e-mailed my reply to Anastasiya asking for her surname and full address under the pretext of sending her a postcard from Nottingham. Low and behold today I received an e-mail her surname was indeed... you guessed it ROMANOVA!! She is using karamelkakiss@rambler.ru at the moment However, I'm not going to destroy anything yet as she's not asked for the pound notes or dollars, what I am going to do is play along and mess her or him around a little even to the degree of saying the pennies are on their way and quoting a ficticious Western Union code. No doubt I will then apologise for getting it all wrong and milk it a little more. If any of you would like copies of the scam letters or photos as received then please e-mail raderina@yahoo.co.uk and it will be a pleasure to forward them on. Finally, note the following:- Never send money to a stranger
