don't trust the russians
so in my lame ass attempts to find meself a woman, i have come across a scam probably not many of you are aware of...
i'm not certain if it is actually the women themselves or guys posing as women... regardless they get in contact with you through dating sites. the stories can vary. but generally they email you for a few weeks and give you a lot of details about themselves, and ask you details about yourself. i'm not stupid enough to give out very explicit details, but i think if someone wanted to dig up stuff about me it wouldn't be that hard (schools, and past addresses aren't too hard to dig up on the net for most people)... anyways, at some point the women start expressing how much they love you, and that the russian men are all drunk and abusive and whatnot... and then comes the scam. they ask you to send them $XXX amount of money so they can either a) buy a visa to come visit you, b) pay for internet cafe fees, or c) pay for their plane ticket to come visit you. (by the way a visa to visit a friend in america usually can only be issued after you meet the person in their country first)... i can say that at least 3 times someone has tried to get me to fall for it. i kind of found i humorous after the first time, so now i just go along with it and waste as much of their time as i can. gives me something to do with the downtime at work... plus they usually use pictures of hot chicks so at least i get a new one in the mail every day or so... it's almost like free porn. i havent been able to get any naked pictures yet though. drat.
anyways, just thought i'd pass along the newest way that people are trying to take advantage of us dopey single men.
p.s. there is also a scam that someone actually from the US is visiting africa to get cheap fabrics and then gets their purse stolen and they ask for cash to get back to meet you as well...
thank god i am such a skeptic.

I'm not sure about that. All Russian men could be drunks and abusers for all I know. My only source of info on Europe is from Eurotrip. "Wanna see my itinerary?" Seriously though, that must be a ton of fun. You shoulds end them the most hideous pic of naked dudes claiming that it's you. Make it so it's obvious that it's not the same guy every time and see how long they stick around. Even slip in a pic of a chick every now and again. Better yet would be glaring photoshops of the same face on different bodies. Also, have you tried to spin it around on them and before they ask for money, ask them for money so you can come see them. Tell them that you both can take a romantic trip through the countries around them. HA! There are so many possibilities.
