earth. We have a very pleasant! Thank you for everything!
I have a have a small request. Soon my husband wedding anniversary. I

It will all make a lot more sense when you realise that the word 'Souvenir' in Russian means 'Gift'.

Surely just a v low end "looking for something of value" to be sent scam? if these mails are sent by the million im sure enough mugs will ensure the said ruskie will be showered with "gifts" that can be re-sold.

Last autumn he went on another trip to Your city. In addition to the work he has already been to many places, restaurants, lived in a nice hotel. And You had, as he says, in the very best of chic, fun institution! Brought a lot of photos. He was very fond of You have said - a good place to sit down, relax, good people work with You, excellent service, I liked everything, especially drinks! Constantly telling, remembers where he went, where I have, that You have a very nice, good and kind people that really wants to go yet.

Our wedding will be on march 31 and I would very much like to make a surprise and a gift to my future husband in this wonderful day for us! And as he was very fond of Your beautiful city and Your wonderful institution, constantly telling about him, could You unto the day of our wedding, for Denis to send a small souvenir from You, he is so bored by it!

Here's one I got this week.


  Hello! I write to you on a personal matter. I really like your beer. It is very pleasant to the taste and color.
I am in awe of him. And not I only , but also my friends. I Express you my gratitude for the production of
such a chic beer. I wanted to tell you a story that happened to my friend. 5 years ago we together with
my girlfriend went to our city cafe. It was evening. We took a glass of beer of your brand. Sat - talking
about how the day went. Here and the glass was empty unnoticed. I asked a friend to go to the bar and
buy another drink of this wonderful beer. At the bar my friend met a young man who made an order.
She really liked ,they had met, she wants this young man your beer, that is why he gave us over a glass
of beer. Here was the beginning of their love story. His name is Sergey ,and her Ksenia .
Soon they will have the anniversary - 5 years acquaintance.
And for them now your brand of beer is associated the beginning of their life together.
We would like them to please on the anniversary.
May be you have some sort of a souvenir with your logo for this pair.

They would be happy. Very sorry for such a request.

Natalia is getting better at this.

Hello. My name is Natalia, I am 25 years old. I live in a small city in Russia. I and my friends are very fond of good beer. If we're going on a nature, on a picnic, go Hiking in the mountains for a few days, be sure to buy 2 bottles of beer each and rest! We love to travel all together, but still can't come to rest to you, but would very much like to.
I decided to write, because we with friends collect «Souvenirs with symbols of the different companies and institutions. And would very much like to receive a gift from you, either. We will be very glad and grateful to You! Thank you very much in advance.

I suggest you ignore.....you never know where these scams are leading.
A month ago I was in Paris on business. Suddenly a woman picks a "gold2 ring up off the floor. She wants to give me the ring. She asks me if I think it is real gold. It did have a hallmark. She is insistent I take the ring. She does keep a distance so there is no pickpocketing tried on.....where is this scam going? I gave her the ring and scurried off.

Report Clouseau June 27, 2012 12:12 PM BST
at least 2 scenarios, Blades.

1) if it happens at a cashpoint another member of the gang will have your card out of the machine whilst you have turned around.

2) you take the "gold" ring then they play on the fact that you think you've got something for nothing by asking you for a small donation to help feed their family and you end up buying a worthless piece of crap for a fiver or, more frequently, a lot more.

Both have been tried on with me many moons ago with partial success... Sad

To be fair we can blame the Eastern Europeans but with the recession this problem is now moving closer to home.

For example there was a person from York I saw this week begging for handouts from sad old men. She thought including a picture of a hot young lady would get them reaching for their debit cards.

Shocking scenes.
