I am a 55 year old widower. I was contacted by Evgeniya who asked to correspond with me. Her letters were very poorly written and seemed to be translated by a software program. She sent many photos with each letter and I have included three examples. The letters did not respond to anything I wrote to her. Her scam is interesting in that she claims too run a business and announces her plan to come to the United States to visit an aunt and explicitly states that she does not need money to get her ticket, etc. This story changes of course with a report of financial problems and the strange request to use my bank account to deposit some money which will then be used to pay for her ticket.

(First email):

Hello! My name is Evgeniya. I am writing to you from Russia. I am 27 years old, I cheerful interesting, and at the same time, lonely girl. I'm looking for the life rather than a sponsor like many other girls. I is not a poor girl and herself can provide. but I can not find a pair for cooperative relations and to live a very bored and so I am looking for its second half. If I became interesting to you, I can tell more about themselves and send more photos. Although we are far from each other, I think it will not interfere with our correspondence. I will wait for your letter of speed. Good-Bye.

(Email announcing her financial problems and asking for access to my bank account:)

Hello my favorite man. I missed your letters. I'm preparing for the arrival in your country. 9 days to be ready to visa and travel agent book a flight. Are you glad that my love? I think a lot about you, about our relationship with you. I will call you tomorrow. Those days were a serious test of my business. First was the small problem with the opening of a new beauty salon. Because there is great competition in the direction of my business. My competitors offer new branches and I decided to make a good competition. All my money income invested in the project. I am in a responsible attitude to this project because I spent all of their cash capital. and took a loan from a beloved aunt. I must pay my travel agent for airline tickets. I have for you is, please. Because of this transaction with the opening of the salon, I have little money. This must be done necessarily. My aunt to uncle helped me pay for a ticket and make all documents because they know about my great cost to my new project. When I arranged to work in your country told me that I opened a bank account in the bank at which I will remit my salary. My company should pay me, but recently they called me and said that may not translate into my bank account money due to the fact that the account blocked. I phoned the bank and found out what happened, they told me that my account had been broken into and my money was by then stolen from my account and therefore my bank account frozen, and in order to unlock need personal presence and documents. I learned from the company where I work that I do and they told me that they can transfer to any other bank account person who is in the U.S. and whose account is opened. My dear, I would like to ask you care to take my salary to your bank account so that you could then cashed the money and send my travel agent so that he could pay for my documents for my arrival to you! Write me if you agree to help me and I will give you instructions that you will need to be done. I do not want you to request the money and they do not need me, I just want you to help me come to you and we could be together with you, because this hour is already so close! I hope thanks to your help I will be able to solve this problem. I have full confidence in you! I explained in detail tomorrow my issue over the phone. I feel for us with you. Do you understand me! I thought about you, on my visit to your country. I want to be together as soon as possible. Only you, this friend I could ask for help! I call you tomorrow and wait for your e-mails! Your Evgeniya !
