Being online can be quite thrilling.

Of course, the notorious Nigerian Internet scammers are still the world record holders in online phishing emails. And the Americans are the world record holders for spammers. Then the Russians have joined the Internet scammers with their Internet romance scams. But I suspect that even Nigerians could be the brains behind these online romance scams, posing and posturing as Russians.

I receive many of these e-mails. But the most entertaining of them all is from one Irina and she has been sending me her fake photographs as well.
Just lap it up.

Hello Michael!!!
You have answered my letter! It is joyful for me. I learn about you
and it is pleasant for me. But in one letter of all you will not tell
also I think that it is necessary to continue to write about yourself.

not easy for me, but I think that I should live separately from the
parents now at this age. I studied in institute On a trade the
economist. Studies in institute was interesting times for me. I think
that this cheerful time for the majority. My sister, I already spoke

lives not so far from me. We frequently stir with it and she many
advice to me. I very much love her. I have some hobbies. I collect
hairpins for hair, different beautiful And from different forms. Still
to me very much to like to float and dance. But now I seldom visit a
disco, very seldom. And to float it is impossible much, therefore as
the summer is very short here in Russia. In the summer I sometimes
visit bases for rest on coast from lake or the river where it is
possible to float. But it turns out seldom therefore as it is
necessary to work much to live normally. And you has any hobbies? Tell
about it. So it is interesting to me to write to you and to have with
you acquaintance. It is very good that we have an opportunity to
correspond so. I think that in the letter is possible to speak much
that will not tell in words, When you look the person in the face. It
is possible to open in some things. You can speak me much about
yourselves and I shall tell also to you about the life.
Still I would like to learn as you concern to children? I yet have no children,
But I like to see their joyful smiles.


Still you probably are interested in mine a phone
number. But I have no usual phone of a house. I have no cellular
therefore as it at me have stolen And now I remained without phone. I
have the cable Internet in the an apartment. Now I now shall finish
the letter to you. I so am glad to that We with you started
correspondence. So it will be interesting to me to learn about you In
the following letter from you. Still you probably are interested in

Internet also can arise a problem at reception of yours the letter. My
parents live separately from me in suburb. They have there a site The
grounds and the house. It is very convenient for them, therefore as

Irina.

what exactly makes you think its fake? got a similar mail from an aussie chick say coupla years back, had the same wary thots but now i found out its real. still cant say how she got my mail and she aint saying either but then, this is internet. we met anyway. give it a shot bro. or i will!!!

I am very well known on russia.com and ukraine.com. But, I know that this is all being made up and the mails are doctored from similar ones.

I will keep you updated.

I am not desperate anyway.

Why are u well known in russia.com? have u been in russia?
im russian and liver in moscow. i dont speak good english, sorry, but as i understood u reseived that letter from some russian woman. in my opinion no one normal woman will look for bf through internet! she isnt a kid to understand that! i will never believe in online-love in internet.

Somehow,i believe in the letter and pictures.

In a way, I do believe her

I am not Russian.
I am bona fide Nigerian.
I only loved Russians and Ukrainians and I joined their online forums even before I joined Nigerian forums.

Irina's mails were made up to capture any fall-guy online.

I will keep this going until it's a wrap.
So, just enjoy it.

Hello Michael!
Pleasure  on  my  person  from  your  letter. To me so that I have got
acquainted  with  you  is interesting and joyful. It is interesting to
learn about you and about your life. How has passed your day Michael?
I  hope  at  you  all wonderfully. My day usual as well as all others.
This  very  interesting  acquaintance through the Internet, but I know
that many people have entertainment to get acquainted On the Internet.
I  would  like  to  tell  to  you  that I not for entertainments begin
acquaintance  to  you,  I  very  serious girl. To me already almost 30
years.  I do not want to have what attitudes for only entertainment. I
am  serious  with  you  in  my  letters  and I want that you also were
serious.  I  love  people with good sense of humour, but to joke it is
possible  only  In the necessary situations. I sometimes very much get
tired  after  work  т  I  like  to  look comic transfers on the TV. It
distracts  from a daily life and weakens. I already spoke, that I work
for   the  small  company  which  is  engaged  Sale  of  products  for
construction:  nails,  screws and it is a lot of another. You probably
want  to  know  more  about  me  personally.  I cannot speak about the
character,  I think, that I can not discuss myself. But I quiet enough
girl.  I  love light colors, pop music. I listen the Madonna, Sher and
Russian executors. And what music you listen Michael?


Still  I  want to warn again you that do not send files which have the
big  size  mbyte,  I  cannot  receive  it here. I shall finish now the
letter.  And  still  I  would  like  to  apologize for the the English
language,  something  is  possible  you do not understand. Write to me
more about itself in the following letter.
Irina

Orinkinla i don't entirely think this is fake

Oracle,
I have set a trap to find out the truth.

I have replied in Russian and her next letter should either blow the cover or prove that she is not fake.

Even, if she is not fake, I have to be cautious.
My sweetheart reads all my posts on Nairaland.

But, if she is really the babe in the pictures, she is not bad for a romantic guy like Orikinla and all she needs to do is be medically certified and let the will of God be done.

I met my first real love in similar circumstances.
She was from Munich and was at the Bar beach on the Victoria Island in Lagos, Nigeria. She met a boy who told her about me and she came to look for me and that was how our romance started from 1992 until her mother and sister came in 1994 to persuade her to return to Germany, because they feared that the June 12 Crisis would lead to another civil war in Nigeria. And she was what we call stunning blonde.

Personally, I am very suspicious of my life. Because, some of the things I have written in my poems come to pass later. So, I have to be very careful when a total stranger sends me an e-mail asking for friendship and you know that the acceptance could end up into a relationship. And I love pretty and sexy babes and ladies of all colours and classes.

May God save me from all temptations of the Twilight Zone.

Here is the latest mail from Irina and with the latest picture.

This is a good prompt for a script.

Hello!!!
My friend Michael today a weekend and I have fine mood. Weather pleases
and so it would be desirable to float in the river. I shall write to
you the short letter today I so is glad that working week is finished.
I would like to warn you that I can not write to you probably to the
days off therefore as I behind city shall have a rest with the family.
At me all affairs it is normal, and how at you an affair? I hope, that
you is normal. If I am not mistaken we with you a week are familiar.
You noticed it? Now I should finish and I shall probably come back in
revival or on Monday in the morning. I hope, that I shall receive the
letter from you. I would like it. I wish you the fine days off.
Irina.

This will be my last post on this Internet Romance Scam.
Because, from all indications so far, I can confirm this this Irina is only a robot.

Hi Michael, The friend so your letter is pleasant to read me mine and
to  see that you are serious with me as well as I with you. Today good
day  for  me began. I rose early at 6:30 and I would not like to sleep
further,  mine dream was well. I went in bathing and washed, have then
prepared  for  a breakfast. Today in the morning for a breakfast I had
porridge with fruit. You tried it Michael? To me very much to like to
eat it in the mornings. I also accepted I shall esteem in the morning,
but  it  is a pity to me that I have not had time to answer you In the
morning  therefore  as  time did not suffice, I needed to go for work.
But  on  road  to work, I travel there by the trip bus. I thought that
the  Internet very good the invention of the person. I thought of many
people which are divided by the big distances Also miss the friend the
friend.  But  they  can  communicate through the Internet. It is fine!
As your way how many children should be had in family.
I would like to have two, the boy and the girl. I think, that it is optimum.
Still  I got acquainted with you also to me very much to like, that we
have got acquainted with you. Now I can learn how usual people live in
your  country,  to learn about your life.In the work I sometimes leave
office  to  go  in branch of the state structures and tax. Sometimes I
come  home  for  some time. Today such day. I have come home and now I
write to you the letter.
Still about I would like to
speak  with  you  about  your  preferences in kitchen. What I peep you
like?  From  what foodstuffs? I like to eat meat, but in not plenties.
Meat  I  love about a potato of mashed potatoes. Still I like to drink
milk  or  yoghurt  with taste of a peach. Michael now I should finish
the letter to you. I wait for your answers.

Irina.

You haven't shown any proof that this is a scam.

- Has she asked you for money?
- Was she unable to understand the email you sent to her in Russia?

One thing is very clear. The person writing it is not a Nigerian. I know how Nigerians write.

Seun,
This robot did not reply the response I sent in Russian language.
The mails from this robot look like already made up letters being automatically sent.

The scammer may not ask for money directly.
The scheme will continue to attempt to establish a relationship with the target and gradually ask for personal details and then tempt the target with a request like the availability of a large sum of money to be given to the target or shared. Then, the scammer will ask for your credit card account or bank to deposit the money.

Read all the mails and you can see that they have been composed for general purpose.
Because, as at present no details of the actual location in Russia.

I think this more of a robot.

@Orikinla

Yeah, its a scam, but its definitely a guy sending you the mails, just using a girls pic. The girl was his ex.

Can you speak russian?

I still dont think this is a scam.
At what intervals does she reply your letters?2 days?1 day?3 days after getting your letter?When you write to her,do you ask specific questions?How does she answer them?I think online robots never answer questions directed at them and even if they do,they dont answer them like they know what they are actually talking about.You know what i mean?

Besides,i dont think its fair to post her pictures and personal letters to you on a public forums like this.

what u hav to ask urself is, wat is the desired end product of the "robot"? she didnt ask u for any personal details, she sends pics, she didnt lure u to any site just in case its a phish mail, she didnt ask for money so, wat exacly got u goosed? it sounds genuine to me and really if it was a robot i'd say it wouldnt be so selective; others may hav been mailed by this bot so how come so far its only just u? becos of ur affinity with russia she may have come across ur mail in a russian chatsite or forum and really its not very ethical pasting it here. at least not the pictures.

She is still sending more mails and even gave a new e-mail address. And she is becoming more personal.

I will stop posting her mails and photographs.

She sends mails every two days. She has sent six photographs so far and now just only her mails.

@Orikinla
Can U log on to gmail pls

I got this is one of six letters so far, she sent me an email out of the blue, I found this forum trying to find out about eastlinecorp.com or brickstone.com, those where the domain names in her emails.
I have some of the same pictures she sent you, she hasn't asked for anything from me either.

I attached a picture I do not see on your postings

Hi David,
This morning for me is fine. I did not expect that the first idea to
my head will be about you, and that as you there. It is very strange,
and I cannot understand that it in me? How are you doing? Mine it is
normal. I wrote to you about my fine mood Constantly and it does not
vary till now. I am glad to this. My morning began as well as all
others than not differing. I think that I should tell to you about
some vital sights. I think that if you will write to me about the same
we can better know each other and we shall understand better. I have
understood you David. That you are adjusted seriously and it very much
is pleasant to me. Gravity of people I think that they search for the
person with which it is possible to build family. I as well as any
woman probably dream of the kind and fair person. Which understands
me, and I understand him almost in all. Attitudes between the man and
the woman this most important in a life probably and consequently I
think that in attitudes the woman is the keeper of a house and she
looks after him, and to men provides it with all necessary. How you
think? You agree with me David? I heard about the Beatles from the
parents. I listened to it and also it is pleasant to me some songs.
Yes you are right to us it is impossible was to buy in the USSR of a
plate with songs the Beatles. Russian is very much combined as people
which start to study it speak. You can not be upset that do not know
Russian, for me not great value what language you know it. It is
convenient for me to correspond with you on English. My David It can
good that I could not find anybody here, and have met you. I should
think of it well. Also I ask to think of it you. I think of you every
day and I ask you that you remembered that there is such girl as I
which counts you the fine person. How I already spoke that I have no
children, but I think that it can sometime will? I love children and
when I come back from works in mine a court yard is The children's
playground on which is a lot of children to play. Some from them live
in my entrance. I sometimes treat their chocolate or a sweet. I have
at myself almost always a small bar chocolate. It is small female
weakness in me. I like to bakee a pie or pies itself. The pie of me
was learned with a furnace my mum and I think that at me turns out
normally. My mum certainly does it better, but I all the same its
schoolgirl. I would be glad to treat you David It sometime if you have
desire To try. You have such desire? My lovely David I should finish
the letter today, I think that our attitudes will successfully
proceed. I wait for your letters and today I send you a small kiss. I
think that to you it very pleasantly.
Irina.

Also this letter,,, Looks Just like yours. with a few changes, attached another picture.

My last letter from same scammer, Thank you boys,

"Hi Yaser!!!
Your letter this day so is fine for me. Some days I live with fine
mood and I think much of you And about our attitudes. I for a long
time did not have serious attitudes with the man. I so am glad to that
I have found you. You bring pleasure in mine the house through Your
letters. I already adult girl also understand all that I speak you.
You also the serious person Yaser. I think of you much. I wish you
always fine mood. I want to lift also his letters if that probably.

it. If I am not mistaken that it spoke that people are capable to love

acquaintance here With men, I know that I have man and it waits for
our meeting and I wait for a meeting. I start to think that it is good
that we have correspondence between us, but the love should be Real a
meeting and I shall try to learn all that we could meet. I love you
mine lovely and I think of you much. I think, that search of love this
main thing for people. I thought about a meeting now very important
for us. I would like to do it soon. I want to stay to you. I reflected
that else some time back I went to bed one and I was not heated with a
blanket. I I want to get into a bed with you and you embrace me. I
feel your heat And caress. So it is pleasant to sleep with you beside,
with the favourite person. You remember I spoke you about a meeting of
the girlfriend from agency of travel. I went to it to do consultation
about travel to you. Now I am resolutely adjusted on it. Some time
back I can still could not and think about that, That so I want to fly
from Russia for my love, for our love. I understand that it will
borrow time for registration of papers. I most likely should move in
in Moscow to do The visa and the passport abroad. Now it very
carefully arranges, The visa and print of a finger is done electronic.
But I understand all this, it for safety of flights therefore as was
is a lot of Flights of wreck because of bad people.Still I would like
that you have told to me your exact address and the nearest airport
international that I could learn all better. Mine lovely I should
while to finish the letter to you. I wait for your answers. Do not
overlook about that I love you.


Yours Irina.
