lol I dont think there is much doubt in many mens minds what they would like to do to the girl (if it was really the same person mailing)

The Terry Wogan bit is superb. James is a quiet bloke usually but comes out with some classics.

The best part is that the scammer is even bothering to reply! Cant wait for the next one, if they bite again.

Cool

Why does he think it's a scam?

She hasn't asked for anything

A guy I work for has been over to see quite a few of the Russian birds, and most of them have been stunning, and the emails they send are pretty much like that, they are very naive.

Of course, she could just be out for a westerner husband, but let's be honest, even if you got to sh@g it a few times and then she buggered off, it would be worth it wouldn't it?

Of course it's a scam. In her first letter she signs off;

" Nataliya(this is my real name)."

In letter two suddenly she's;

" Always ,Natasha!!! "

She's probably really Ndonko Kwenki.

lol I cant see it ever reaching that point to be honest. I know scammers are stupid...
But then again, seeing as the pics are prob not even the person, who knows what sort of pictures they might have.

If she does drop some clothes, I get the impression this topic would get sticky anyway haha.

i dunno,it might be genuine to a degree.

there was a story in the paper today about a girl who did exactly this but to 2 men,she did fly out he did nobble her/marry her but she also proceeded to chat to other men online who were wealthy.

so altho not a scam,not an honest bird either,but he might still pork her if he hires a posh yank car for the day and treats her in TGI Fridays !

Nice arcade to play in though, worth registering for

Cant wait for the next installment from this scammer

They reckon the average loss for the big scams is something daft like £30k per person

I hope this person carries this on though, always good for a laugh
