dont listen to the naysayers kenny it looks legit, imo.

i've just had an e mail from nigeria and it seems you've won a cool 22 million on their lottery (unfortunately due to technical dificulties they cant contact you directly). all you have to do is send me five grand to cover taxes and the wonga will be on its way. best deal with this promptly then you can have a fabulous holiday with your russian bride, sorry i mean 'your friend' can have a fabulous holiday Wink

If I put my credit card numbers, pin numbers and passwords on here, would you kindly pass them on to your friend to pass them on to this very attractive lady as I would like to meet her or one of her attractive friends. And to all you doubters-have you never been on holiday and seen a beach with grey edges- any med resort after a storm which whips up the sewage and brings it ashore.

"I very much want also to go with you, to observe of birds and to look
at the sky
"

tell her you've not got sky!  She's only after premier league action.

btw if you google that phrase it also comes up as one that scammers use in their emails.

Beats me, 2 more photos to be posted when approved.

This was a mail from a couple of weeks ago.

My light Ian!!! To me it is very pleasant, that my photo always with
you there. Thanks my dear! No, it not a wedding ring on a photo, this
usual ring. Yes, this recent photo and color of my hair now identical.
About my full name - Ekaterina Plotnikova why you have asked it? My
dear, I ask you to not worry and to not make anything prematurely.
Always there is a decision of any problem. Arrive for some time I can
easily and I shall receive all necessary for travel. My dear, the main
thing to have desire, all rest really to make. I already explained to
you how I have met you, I do not know the name of a site, I be not
interested in other men and if your friend wishes to have dialogue
with the Russian woman - it is necessary for him to address in any
site of acquaintances. Understand correctly, now I think only of us
and to me our situation is important only. I don’t want to frighten
you, but understand me please. I need to know your intentions to me. I
don’t want to wound my heart. I wrote to you in the last letter about
filling my heart feeling of love to you, today, at night I think for a
long time, I feel love to you. Such situation wasn’t with me before, I
don’t know when it has come to me, but I can’t without your letters
any more. I wait for the moment when I’ll receive the letter from you
with great impatience. I want that you’ll write about your feelings to
me. And if your intentions are serious, and you're like me wants to
meet for learning each other, write me and we’ll start to decide this
problem. You’ll arrive to me, or I arrive to you, we’ll decide
further. My parents will help me to come to you, I'm sure of it. You
know, I am very sensual woman and if your intentions are not serious
stop write to me please, I am afraid that my heart will be broken and
I’ll suffer for a long time. I know that you are good man and you will
fairly answer on my question, I am only afraid, and that you don’t
have such feelings to me. We could meet and then decide how we are
necessary to each other. I don’t afraid that after our meeting you
reject me, but I’ll damn myself up to the end of my life that I and
haven’t met with you. Probably it is destiny!?! So you’ll decide. I
have completely opened for you. I‘ll wait for your following letter
with impatience. Love Ekaterina.

Why don't you send her an email Kenny? She will either declare her undying love for you upon receipt of £280, or she will tell you her heart already belongs to another (your mate). Laugh

Perhaps his wife has set him up for a new series of "Cheaters" to be screened later this year.

My advice would be to send £560 and ask her to bring a friend.  At your age, sir, you might as well treat yourself. :)

I've checked them both, Kenny. No matches found.
I also uploaded a well-known image to tineye just as a control and it found matches to that so I'm sure it was working properly.

If she got a job as a pole dancer,it wouldn't take her long to raise the £280.

Has Boris sent the Soiled Pantys yet ? 


Seems a lot of effort on her part for £280

Not if you have 100 Men on the Go ?

I must say she looks very well kept for someone who can't afford 280 smackers.

All fur coat and no knickers though, with a bit of luck.
