I use an online singles service called singlesnet, and about 3 weeks ago I got this message from a beautiful girl from Littleton, Colorado. In the email notification, it said she was from Nacogdoches, TX, which I thought was a bit odd. Well, I emailed this chick with the email address she provided and started a dialogue with her, and about the second or third letter, she mentions she is from Russia, and says she had to put a US city in order to use the singles service because they don't accept people from outside the US. I happened to check the profile again later, and noticed the city had changed again to Las Cruces, NM. Anyway, we exchanged emails telling about one another for the past few weeks, and about the fourth email this chick starts talking like she's in love with me, calling me her dear, and her love, etc. With each email, she attached a picture of herself, and this girl was a knockout...looked like a model. I'm thinking all along, this is just too good to be true. About the ninth letter she starts talking about meeting me in Europe next month. I told her I couldn't afford a trip to Europe, so she said she would fly to the US, which was fine and dandy until she says in her latest letter this evening that she'll need me to cover half of the cost of the trip which comes to $900 for my half, then proceeds to give me Western Union information. This raised a big red flag for me, so I started doing some research on the net about Russian dating scams, and I was convinced afterwards that I am being scammed, but I'm not 100% sure. Even so, I don't have $900 to send even if she is real, and I'm not sending it to a complete stranger in another country that I have only known through emails for the past several weeks. What do ya'll think?
I think I'm being scammed

Letter #2
HI Dennis !
I'm pleased to receive your message. I am very glad you've written me.
You haven't sent a picture of yours, please do it. I'd like to look at
you. I'll wait for your picture. Dennis You e-mail means for me, that
I'm interesting to you too. Do you really think Dennis, that my photo
is nice? Dennis, I have a lot of questions and I would like to ask
them in my messages, I hope you don't mind if I'll ask you - OK? You
are a nice man for me That's why it is important for me to know your
opinion on some things. I think, that then you read my message you
could see, that I have serious intentions to get acquainted with the
good person for long-term relations . I'll try to tell you a little
about my character. I don't know how to start, I think, that I'm a
very romantic person. I like to communicate with people, I like kind
and good sense of humour. I appreciate such qualities in people, as
fidelity and honesty very much. I do believe in love, and I think it
is a very valuable sense which needs to be protected. I'm a jealous
person but I adore, when someone who's close to me pays compliments
and I'm always ready to listen them. It's a very important for me to
keep everything clean and in their places, that's why I make cleaning
very often. Also I like to cook some tasty meal and sweets, like cakes
and pies. It is a pleasant for me to have some romantic relations
between with the man, but probably all of the women dreams to get
acquainted with a really good man to have beautiful romantic relations
with him. But very often such things comes to an end too quickly. I
don't want to spend myself on such acquaintances. I didn't meet for a
while such a man in my life whom I would believe and give all my life
and soul. But it's But me it would be desirable for me to find such a
person. I think, that for woman the main thing in life is not to have
great career or other kind of success, but to have a strong family to
love and to beloved by the man who can take care of the family.
Please, tell me, do you want to meet such a woman in your life? Excuse
me Dennis, for discussion with you such frank thing with the woman
whom you know couple of days. But it is interesting for me to know
that do you think of it. I'll wait for yours reply.
Yours faithfully
Stacy.Comment

Hi Dennis! How are you! Dennis, you ask, where I live - it's a pity
but it is far from you. Otherwise I think it wasn't necessary for us
to use e-mail to learn each other. For the first time have
acquaintance through the Internet. It was very difficult for me to
place my announcement in a service of acquaintances, because I am in
Russia, the service of acquaintances doesn't accept people from this
country. So I had to specify in a profile, that I am in USA. In this
letter I shall inform you a little information about myself and if the
dialogue with me will be interesting to you, I'll tell about myself in
more detail in the following letters. I live in an average part of
Russia, in city Penza. But if we'll decide to meet, I hope, that it
will not be a problem for us because I've already made a little travel
to other countries. I was in the several countries of Europe; for
example Turkey, Italy, Germany. I made these travel as the tourist.
Therefore Dennis, you shouldn't be worried about we are not close one
to another. I'm such a woman, if I'll like some man, I'll reach even
on the moon for a meeting. Besides now it's not a problem to make such
a travel. I'm not worry about it. I have all I need to get acquainted
with you, and it is possible to have relations with the person from
other state. It is very interesting - other culture, thinking,
traditions. For me and for you Dennis this is a new opportunity. You
can learn, that is the Russian woman. And I can learn an American
man.I hope that you haven't lose interest to me and will answer me
soon. I'll wait for your e-mail, my American friend.Comment

Letter #4
Hi Dennis.
I'm so glad to receive your message again, every day
we are going to
learn each other better and your messages are very
interesting for me.
Last time my soul was bored, there were no
joyful occurs and no
events. But now your message for me like a solar beam.
Thanks, Dennis.
Your e-mail and words you're writing in it helps me to
understand that
kind of a man you are. Helps me to understand you
better. Dennis I'm
sending another picture of me to you. I hope, that
you'll like it.
Please, tell me more in detail about the family. How
many relatives do
you have? What are the relations between you? How
often are you going
somewhere together? There are very close relations
in my family. I
already told you I live with my parents. We live in a
cosy apartment,
there are three usual rooms, kitchen, balcony and a
bathroom. I have a
room. It's a little pity but I have no brother or
sister. My father's
name is Anton, hi's 49 years old and he works
as a builder. My
mother's name is Marina, she's 47 years old. She
have no job at the
moment, she's making almost all work by our home,
also she have a
little garden, she's proud of it. We love each
other, sometimes are
going in city for an entertainment. For example,
we're going on a
beach in the summer and we already were there. And
then it's a winter,
we go for a skates and a ski. I like winter most of
all. In my private
life at the moment I have an emptiness. Last
relations I had last
year. There was a boyfriend, but I left him. We didn't
love each other
and had too various interests. In here I can't
allocate any man for
long-term relations. Day by day I understood that
there are so little
good men, and it's annoyingly in every time to
sense disappointment
when you think that has met a suitable man. That's
why I think I went
into a service of acquaintances. Probably here I
can find a man who
can love me, appreciate and understand. It is not
very important for
me his financial situation and his work. I
have specified in a
questionnaire that I search an older man because I
think, that man
which lived some more has enough experience and
understood that woman
need, he has learned to appreciate women and to
understand their
needs. I'll be ready to give all of me without the
rest to such a man
and I think, that the main advantage of the woman
is fidelity and a
skill to make family happy, without quarrels and
conflicts. On it I'll
finish this letter. Dennis, please write to me some
of your thoughts
about that I has told to you. I'm waiting for your
messages.
Yours Stacy.Comment

Hi Dennis. It is very nice of you that you studied
some of my ideas in
the last message. Dennis, usually I don't tell
about deep ideas and
opinions, but I wrote it to you because I felt a
desire to open it to
you. I'm more independent woman, but sometimes
I'm necessary that
there was one man, who can be open and kind. I
am glad, that you
understanding me, you see it happens not frequently.
Thank you Dennis

and family to me,

you and your life
better and you became closer man . Dennis It is time

the way I told by
them and my parents, that got acquainted with you.

Letter #6
Hi my dear! I'm reading your last e-mails now, and it's very
interesting for me to know your opinion about that I spoke to you in
my last message. Our exchange of opinions is interesting to me and I
think, now I can think that I know you better. Dennis, I send some new
pictures to you. As for me, Dennis, I too want to see more than your
pictures. Dear, I would like to find out, how do you like to spend
your free time. I'm a cheerful person sometimes I'm thinking out
various entertainments for my friends and for myself. I like to help
them to make life more interesting. It can be different things:
dances, cinema, parties or entertainments on the nature. But speaking
frankly in the last time these entertainments give me not big
pleasure. In the last time I'm often dreaming of romantic evening with
the beloved man, it can be a supper or a simple walk . I think, that
in it there is a lot of charm. Are you a romantic man Dennis? Do you
think, sometimes, of such things? Do you like cosy evenings with the
family? I very much love holidays when all family gathers, in one
table. It is very cosy and comfortable for me. And how do you like to
carry out holidays dear? What makes a cosines and rest for you? Tell
to me please about it Dennis. Dennis, excuse me for a question: do you
have any woman now? I think, that you are very good as the man and
women like you. Because I like you even through such a distance. What
is your private life now, please tell me about it. Probably you have
to me some frank questions. I'll answer all of them. Write to me more
in detail about the feelings and desires, I like very much to read
your letters in which you're telling about yourself, I am ready to
read about it the whole day. I'll wait for your messages.
My embraces. Yours Stacy.Comment

Letter #7
Hi my dear Dennis! I'm very glad to speak with you again! By the way,
yesterday I had quite good evening with my friends. We reached in a
dance club and spend there some hours. First, we had a good supper and
a little glass of champagne, then we played bowling and danced. All of
that was very good, but when I saw , how some of my friends danced and
kissed some men - I had a small envy to them. I thought of you and had
a dream what you are near me Dennis. That you embrace me too, and
whisper to my ear gentle words. And how's about you Dennis, if you see
around you some love-pair people, - do you remembers me? Do you going
with your friend to some bar or club? If you do, how often? And if you
are in these places does women try to get acquainted with you and how
often they do it? As for me I'm even tired of men who approach to me
and try to begin acquaintance, but I'm at the same time let them to
understand, I'm not a woman who's caught on such tricks . Dennis, last
time I often think about your messages and I understand that it is
serious for me. I mean that I don't think our dialogue is an
entertainment, and I write to you very personal words and things, as
to the close man. And I want to tell you Dennis, that I am glad, that
I have such a man as you! I told you as I remember that friends calls
me Stacy, I have to tell you that my passport-name is larger and more
complicated - it's Anastasiya. That's why everyone calls me Stacy. I'd
like to be honest in all with you, so, if you don't mind I'll sign as
Anastasiya in my future messages. I'm waiting for your messages and
I'm thinking of you. Gentle kisses for you!
Yours Stacy.Comment

Letter #9
Hi my dear Dennis! I am very glad to speak with you again! Thanks for
your e-mail. I am glad Dennis, that there is some kind of development
in our relations and we became more close people. I tell about you to
my parents and my friends. They hope, they could get acquainted with
you sometime. Dennis, they insist, that I would acquaint you with
them, my parents are especially persevering. I've told them , it is
serious and I like you Dennis, also I told you are a good person. You
know Dennis, parents always wish children only good and they are
pleased, if their children is happy in all. My father like fishing and
now he often says, that now he knows a man, which can be invited for
fishing. I laughed for a long time and told him, that at all I'm not
sure if you like it. You know, he answered that later he will be going
with you at a good fishing also he will learn you to cook an uha (soup
with fish). And did you Dennis, told to close people about me? What
they told about it? Please, tell me about it. Do you have any plans
concerning our relations? I think, it would be very good, if we could
spend some days together. It will make our feelings much stronger and
will help us to learn better each other. Probably the next month we
can meet. For example in Europe or other place. Understand me
correctly Dennis, I cannot yet to invite you to myself. I live with my
parents and at the moment I do not know you enough for this. Between
us there were only our messages and I think, that to us it is better,
to meet in the friend place. I very much would want to be with you
alone, to see your eyes and touch you! Dear so we can make a full
opinion on us to learn about many things. Let's discuss it Dennis. I
miss your kiss...

Letter #10
Hi my darling Dennis! How are you doing? I'm all
right. I am glad,
that my messages are pleasant for you. I'm a
little excited, and
yesterday I hardly fell asleep. I was excited by
an idea about our
meeting. It's a big event for me and I had so much
emotions. Such as
excitement, big impatience and expectation of that
day. You gave in my
life the whole sea of emotions. Dennis, it is
difficult for me to make
a good speech, but I can tell, that it is very
nice and it gave me
some kind of a push and the purpose for life. I
think, my love, that
it is necessary for us to talk about our
meeting to make no
difficulties and no inconveniences in our deals. I
can arrange on my
work, to have some days free. Dennis, and will your
work allow you to
make it? Probably you have the intense schedule of
your work and you
shouldn't be absent. If it's so, then we can meet
more close from you
or even I could arrive to you on some days. For me
there is no problem
to make a longer travel. If this way is more
convenient for you and my
arrival will not create problems for you Dennis,
let's choose this
plan. For me it's even much better, because I can see
how do you live,
meet your friends, you can show me your city and
other places you
like. And if it is necessary for you, you can visit
your work. As for
me, my work is not so important and my colleagues can
take everything
without me for a while, that's why I don't worry
about my deals here.
Please, dear Dennis, tell me your opinion! If it is a
good way for you
too I'll begin to prepare for travel. My kisses and
embraces.
Yours

Hi my love! It is pleasant for me to read your words. I am glad to
learn, that you are ready to accept me in your house. Thanks, that you
trust me, my dear. Dennis, I want to tell to you that in my last
message I wanted to check, how seriously are you treat to me . Forgive
for this my love, but you should understand me. For me was it is very
important to know, whether you will agree to accept me in your house
or you not. If you answered, that we should met somewhere in hotel or
in the other place, - than I would think, what you do not want to be
with me in host because you have wife or you are not serious enough to
me, and you want to meet me for an entertainment. This check - was
small precaution. I heard, that many people get acquainted to have
only sex with the new person, though in the structure inform, that
have serious intentions. Now I am sure in you Dennis, and I am glad,
that you appeared really that the person whom I want to meet! My love,
with a big pleasure, I shall spend at you some days. These days I
shall reach in agency of travel to receive the information for that,
to reach to you the next month. I shall inform you for detail about it
in the following e-mail. I wait your messages. I adore you my dear
Dennis! Hundreds of kisses!!!
Yours Anastasiya.Comment
