Yahoo Personals - Nigerian Scam - Internet Dating
"I am sure you will be not disappointed to meet me in the real life!!! I don't have a special plan or something like that for a new relationship, I'm open to everything! I don't want to be an abuse for you, if you will not want me as your woman, we can be just friends!"
The internet is the frontier of human existence in the 21st century; it is the wild west of untamed and uncharted existence. Nigerian men sit in dark hot rooms in Lagos flooding the dating sites with fake profiles of young Russian women, none of whom are older than 30, and all of whom have a long sad story of sick relatives and financial loss.
This one is Elena. Other names are Ekatarina, Natalia, Matya...
These profile avatars fall in love with you in about the second or third email. Elena appears to have fallen in love with me in the first. Later they ask you for your phone number. Do not give them your phone number. Do not give them your checking account number. Do not give them your address. Mysteriously none of them have a webcam or microphone for voice chat or visual verification.
Be careful . Provide ZERO personal info. These people are patient and prey upon the emotional vulnerability of the lonely heart.
Also be on the lookout for a yahoo contact with the name of Kate Adams.
This is the text of a recent email.

Hello from Yahoo dating, new friend Elena
Elena (lonelysoulfor4@yahoo.com)
Hello .How are you ? :-)
I hope you will like my e-mail and photos!
I'm so happy to receive your answer! It was good to meet you on Yahoo Personals!
My Profile was without a photo and I have already removed it, as I can not tell to you
my nickname on Yahoo Personal . You made my day! I feel something special about you so
I want to find a man who can tell me about the life over there and maybe of course something
more then just a friend!!!
I don't have a boyfriend so I'm free for new adventures!!!
I had a boyfriend, but it was nothing serious and we broke up one year ago because he moved to Turkey.
I'm in Russia now, but soon I will leave Russia to make my trip in USA so you can forget about our distance.
I've never been abroad, only in the South of Russia, the Black Sea, Sochi and Turkey. I like warm climate ))
I've never tried to find someone in Internet but soon I will come to your country to work there,
so I will have a work visa and a permission to work.
I think my level of English is quite good, but although it's very simple.
I can't read philosophy books in English or business books))) Anyway
I want to improve my English while staying over there. I write and speak English by myself.
My spoken English is good too. We have Discovery channel here in English
(i have home has cable TV, so I to watch it!). I like this channel so much! Very interesting!
I'm sending three pics for you
Here I can earn only about 450-500$ a month to work from morning till evening (my city is really small).
According to my visa I can work in your country for 3 months, I can prolong it to 6 months if I want.
After 6 months staying over there I can go home or try to get a green card.
I live in small town here in Russia, and I decided to find someone by Internet not to be alone when
I make my trip..
The life is different in every country and I think it's hard to live there when you don't know anybody.
I can do some simple job as a waitress, or to work in some shop.
And later when I improve my English I want to find a better job!
I will start my trip from St.-Petersburg, I will go there to pass English tests and have an interview.
I think everything will be OK!
Working program helps me to get the visa, permission for work and all travel documents and they
will help me to get job. It's a special program for young people who is not lazy and make some money.
I think I can change my life and see many wonderful things and just different life.
I am full of plans and different dreams.
I am sure you will be not disappointed to meet me in the real life!!!
I don't have a special plan or something like that for a new relationship,
I'm open to everything! I don't want to be an abuse for you, if you will not want me as your woman,
we can be just friends!
But I hope you like me and my photos! :)
OK, I will finish this e-mail... I don't know what else I could write you in my first e-mail.
Your questions are welcomed!
Please answer me even if you don't like me, because you are the only man I am responding to.
If you don't like me I will continue my search. I hope so much to receive your answer!!!
I hope we can have a nice communication by e-mails so I will know somebody is waiting for me over there!
Not so long time to wait for me, really?
I hope you are my soulmate and we match each other!
Next time I can answer your questions if you have some and tell you about my family,
send you many pics of my family, also more of my photos!!!
Tell me about yourself and the place where you live! And send me photos!
Please write me at this my e-mail - lonelysoulfor4@yahoo.com
Sincerely Elena :love:

I write you my emails from Internet cafe, I don't have my own computer and internet
I'm sending few photos for you today! I hope you are not tired to look at my photos?
This time I will write you more about myself. I think you should know more about my life
and my hobbies so you will know if we have any common interests.
I hope soon I will be able to come to your area by my birthday and we
will meet each other! I'm not sure why I picked you but I feel something special about you!
We live with our parents and my young sister in 2 room apartment.
I'm happy my parents will be not alone when I leave the for another country.
My father is 54 years old now, my mom is 52. You see my mom is much younger then my father and they are
very happy together.
My mother is a teacher of mathematics in the school.
My father work at a factory - The welder
The name of my ity is Omsk,
Omsk is a large city, the main city in our district.
In a Omsk 54°58 frosts and 73°23 heats were marked.
Amplitude of fluctuations of the winter and years temperatures, exceeding 100,
any region of the world Average temperature in January - does not test ? 45,5 degrees,
in July + 40,4 °C degrees. Distance up to Moscow - 2579 km,
At us one of the greatest rivers in Russia - Irtysh'
My birthday is January, 30 . I'm 26 years old, not that young I think?
I'm 175 cm tall (5.7.) and 63 kg weight (about 120 pounds, I'm not sure how much it is in pound but I'm
not fat!).
I don't know exactly my bust-waist-hips measurements, I don't have a reason to measure it
because I think it's OK and my body is proportionate )) I take care of my body, I do aerobics three
times a week and two times a week I go to the swimming pool twice a week.
My address here is Russia, Omsk, zip code: 644001, Pirogova 14 street, flat 5.
I graduated from Omskiy Sports University three years ago, contemporary dance faculty. Yes we
have such faculty in Sport University! So I'm a professional dancer. I don't want to have a
dancer's career because I will have not much time for my private life and for relationship with a man. I
work as a dance teacher, I teach children from 10 to 15 years how to dance! Also I have a certificate of
fitness instructor, this is my another hobby. So it would be perfect if later I will find a work as
instructor or teacher of dances!!! I think it's a very good job for a woman, I'm always in a good shape
and I keep myself not that busy!
Do you know how to dance? If not I can teach you!
I can dance many different styles.
When I come to your city I will work as a waitress in a restaurant. I would like to work as a dance
teacher but I think you understand it's not possible to arrange such work by Internet because they want
to see how well I dance.
Anyway I will try to find such work when I come over there. Or maybe not a dancer but aerobics
instructor, I think it's also very good job.
Of course I will miss everybody but I want to have my own happiness!
In winter I like skiing, although we have cold winters... our summers are warm usually.
The natural color of my hair is fair. I hope that's not a problem for you or
you like natural color of hair?
I like classic music, jazz, rock, lounge. I like music at all!
I want to try how to ride a motorcycle someday! I've never tried it!
I very much love flowers, I very much like roses and violets
I can play piano also, she teached me how to play piano.
I finished music school and I still play piano about once a week.
There is no any messenger in this Cafe so we can only keep emailing each other.
I hope you are not getting bored to read my emails?
So now you have a representation of who I am....
I just can tell you that I enjoy life and I try to live to the fullest, I like to try new things. I'm
not that smart.. I was not that good in mathematics, physics, biology and so on! But I'm very tender,
caring, artistic, faithful, decent person.
Sometimes I can be not well organized, I think everybody had it's own minuses and pluses.
I don't look any special qualities in a man. I just hope he will be faithful to me and ready to create
a happy family with me and I will do everything to make him happy. I'm looking for a soulmate!
OK... it's time to finish my email. I'm sending a kiss by the wind to you and if I sent it to the right
destination you should receive it by evening )))) I hope you will catch my kiss somehow )))
I suppose in few days I will leave for St-Petersburg
I started to register my documents about 2 months ago, so I will travel soon and I will be allowed to work!
I shall write certainly to you About a trip as soon as I learn about it !!
Do you have an International Airport in your city? Please write me it's name an code write me the
name of the nearest Airport to you.
Now I'm not at home often and of you call me my father will pick up
the phone and he can't speak any English and he will be shocked to hear the English speech. I still
didn't tell him about you but I'm going to tell him this week, I will write you about his thoughts on
this topic!
Bye, your Elena
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Good luck out there and be careful!
Steve.
