A mate has been in touch with a young Russian woman by e.mail for a couple of months. He's on the verge of splitting from his long term wife (not because of this) and is well aware that there are lots of scams from this type of "woman". and that he could be corresponding with a hairy bloke called Boris, but he will not be easily conned, being one of the tightest men in Leeds.
We all warned him that "she" would ask for money before long. but for the first 6 weeks ago, the correspondence went swimmingly, and there was no mention of money.

Being one of the tightest men in Leeds, if not the World, he wrote back expressing his concern, and said put your visit to England off for a few months till you have got the money together, and when you arrive I will make a generous contribution towards your expenses.

She replied, obviously upset that the scam? hadn't initially worked, with this.
Did not think what to receive such letter, thanks that could learn your real ideas now, your real opinion on me right now. I am glad, that you have told to me it. My love, money were never important for me. Never I followed riches. Yes, it is good, when do not think of tomorrow when easy to live and not worry that you will eat tomorrow, but not for the sake of money I wrote to you, not for the sake of money I spent my time for documents, spent my money for documents, the part ticket. Never offend anybody if you do not know on 100 % of intention of people. I considered you to relatives, the beloved. You have deceived me your words, your feelings to me. I trusted, but all this was only a dust... A dust in eyes... what for to me to try to do something if you to concern to me as to scam? To Me is very insulting and sad to understand it... I as a full silly woman trusted you, but what have received in the answer? I am grateful to you for your truth. I wish all most the best and I ask - to learn to trust people. That I can offer the only thing - that you have arrived to me. I shall not go any more to you never while you to not arrive and to not see me here in the real world. I shall not be justified, it low and very meanly concerning to me. I do not deserve such relation. To solve about the further only to you. Do not insist - I to not accept money or the ticket. Only your personal presence here. Ekaterina |

But now she's invited him to Russia! So she'll get no financial reward out of it. She's a beautiful woman, if the photo can be believed. Wht would you suggest he does? Her final mail read thus...
I have thrown you? I have told, what I do not wish to see you or something in this plan? There is no my love, I did not do it. Yes, I shall not go to you, only after you to arrive here, to show that you are seriously adjusted on relations with me, but there is no other decision. I am tired to have problems from mistrust. You have not appreciated me and were afraid to spend the ridiculous sum for you in 280 pounds. I asked you about 2800 or about 28000 pounds, probably gold mountains? No, I did not ask anything similar and only your mistrust, your mass consciousness and to trust in another's words - have stopped you to help me and to prove about your serious intentions. What it for you 280 pounds? For you it is the small sum, but for me is some months of work. Understand, this understanding of that not only I put my efforts in our meeting but also you too. For me it is important, that you will help, but that I have heard in the answer is has entered me into a shock and confusion. I am valid in such strong shock that I can not find a word for this purpose. I all heart to trust, that you will trust me, but do not ask, do not offend and do not humiliate me with your requests to prove my reality. It reaches to the point of irrationality. Yes, to me did not trust, my relations here have been finished because of it but as you have told to me - such was never. I hope, to trust, that you to understand me my love! Love Ekaterina |

Yes, mate, but it followed the typical pattern of foreign scammers. Soften them up and then ask for cash. But now she;s said come visit me! |

If you google the phrase "You can help me with a part of the sum for air ticket?"
You get results from a site called "stop-scammers" which rather ironically seems to be a scam. |

I recall seeing a programme a few years ago where some ugly and, to be honest, very strange geezers went on a package tour to Russia or Ukraine to look for girlfriends. Some of the birds who were prepared to hook up with them were proper fit - shocked me it did.

Seriously guys, it's not me.
Another mail this morning. This young lady/trucker whatever it is, does seem very persistent, and who knows, genuine. I still would make it 1.05 a scam (was 1.01 this time last week.) Another mail this mornimg. I've advised him to stump up the cash and bring her over here, as he won't be settled till he knows one way or another. Then again, I'm a gambler. he isn't. Seems a lot of effort on her part for £280. Todays mail. His comment is, Another mail to me. She seems prepared to wait for me to go there and not give her money to come here. Does that mean she's genuine or that she really wants me to send money ie a scam? Hello my Ian! What for you to find these justifications? It is not necessary for me these justifications, understand it. I need your trust and that you to not send the help is proves, that this trust is not present. I shall not insist. I shall wait for you here. You have decided to complicate all - I not against. It will be more correct also you will understand, that in a life there are more important things than mere words and another's experience. You will understand, that I can be trusted. Love Ekaterina |

Chaser, can you explain why she's happy for him to visit her. I don't see any benefit making him travel and not turning up? That's why the odds have lengthened.
