There is a certain type of scammers (usually from Ukraine, Russia) who practice a fairly common romantic scheme:
- start by looking for victims (men) who want a romantic relationship,
- then patiently build a relationship based on long nice love letters and some "sexy" photos with young women (stolen from some dating sites).
- start by looking for victims (men) who want a romantic relationship,
- then patiently build a relationship based on long nice love letters and some "sexy" photos with young women (stolen from some dating sites).
- they NEVER read the answer they receive... I assume that in this first phase (which can take up to 2 months) they use individuals who do not know English and who only "send" predefined messages according to a script.
Usually I reject these messages because the chances of success with this type of scammers are low (they abandon the victim as soon as they realize they can't get the money they want)... sometimes, however, I get into their game and respond to their messages "full of love" with long quotes from wikipedia ... accompanied by emoticons with "hearts, kisses, flowers" etc.
By the time the "love" script ends, the scammer is already "in love" and "wants to come" home to the victim. Of course, there is only one small impediment: the money. The scammer asks the victim for a sum of money in order to be able to buy plane tickets (or any other pretext). The amounts of money required are relatively "reasonable" (a few hundred euros / dollars). At this stage of the story, another scammer (who knows English) takes over the script and begins to converse with the victim in a real way, as if "she" were a woman in love who only the lack of those few hundred dollars prevents "her" from seeing her Chosen One.

End of December 2020
I received such a romantic message in one of my accounts (2 nice photos are attached):
My short classic reply for this type of scamm:
"Anna" responds next day (other sexy photos with "Anna" are attached to the message):
Gerry to Anna, the same previous "nasty" reply:
Anna to Gerry ("her" answer convinced me that the person on the other side does not know English / does not read the received messages):

Hello my new friend! I want to know you. I turned to a dating agency.
And they gave me your email. Now I will tell you a little
about me. My name is Anna. I am 39 years old. I was born in Russia. But I live in Paris.
I work as a chef in a French restaurant. I like my job. I know a lot about healthy eating,
so I am not overweight like other chefs. Smile. I don't know what else to tell you, since this
my first letter on the Internet. I want you to ask me what interests you. I also have several
questions to you. Do you have a girlfriend at this time? Who do you live with? What is your profession? What is your date of birth?
I hope we can get to know each other better. I will wait for your answer, and some photos.
Write to me, do not forget me.
Anna.

It's still good that I have a new friend. Lol. We will exchange
letters, and cheer each other up. I'm just tired of hearing information about covid 19.
Life goes on and we must look for the positive.
I find it interesting and I want to get to know you better. It's always nice to make new friends. Especially from another country. Learn
new cultures, trends. I live in France, in the beautiful city of Paris. I decided to find a friend on the Internet.
Suddenly I will be able to find there, my other half. I will be very happy. Because I
I already want to have my own family, to love and cherish my husband. Can I ask you a question? What is more important for you in a relationship
love or respect? If I have a relationship. I want the relationship to have trust, honesty, understanding, sincerity,
fidelity. If all this happens, then we will not have any disputes. I don't like people who constantly argue.
What is your hobby?
My hobby is cooking. I am constantly coming up with new recipes. With this letter I am sending you photographs. I did recently
home cookies. It turned out superbly. If I had the opportunity, I would treat you to cookies. Now I will wait for your letter with more
impatiently. Anna.

- There followed a long period of time in which "she" wrote me very long and very loving messages ... all of Anna's messages are accompanied by artistic photos in various poses (in nature, in the kitchen, on the street, etc.).
- usually, Gerry responded with just as long quotes from wikipedia ... sometimes, in my response to "her" I copied exactly her previous message and I interspersed long lines of "love" emoticons between words.
===
February 15
- "she" told me that she had moved from Paris (where she worked as a chef at a restaurant) to Russia... to sell her apartment there. With the money from the apartment, "she" wanted to come to Gerry's and marry him. Until now, she has never asked where Gerry lives and has never asked for pictures or personal details about Gerry!
- After almost 2 months of romantic conversation, Anna has finally finished "her" script and we can start the usual "game".
- "She" ask for only 500 euro.
Gerry is in love and eager to help, so:

For 4 years, Housing and communal services have accumulated 3000 euro. And I only have 2500 euro. For the deal to take place
in the apartment, there should be no debt. And only then can I sell the apartment. I told the realtor to first
sold the apartment, and only then paid the debt. But the realtor said to reissue the documents for the apartment,
it should be debt free. Can you send me 500 euro? I will then sell the apartment, and I will fly to you.
And when we meet, I will return this money to you. I hope you can help me. Because I don't know where to get the money.
I don't have a single acquaintance in Russia. I really hope that you will not leave me in trouble.
I have great excitement before our meeting. It’s not writing letters. Smile. But now I think more about selling
apartments. I am looking forward to your letter.
Your Anna.

I will send the money with MoneyGram.

- 2 days later, Gerry made the payment through MoneyGram and sent the receipt + the necessary explanations.
- Anna called #MONEYGRAM for 5 times, but of course everything was in vain: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1A2aCogwqeigSwNUZ6OFn7BtKr_k9kncO

- Messages full of frustration came to Gerry in the following days:
Are you still mad at me? I can send you a recording of my conversation with moneygram.
You yourself will understand that nothing is possible hear. I spent 50 euros on calls.
I went to the bank and looked at me like a stupid woman.
They ask me why did the sender not immediately send the code. My cheeks turned red.
I don’t know what to say. Does he suspect I'm a fraud? I was terribly ashamed.
It's 2:00 am now. But despite this, I will now call the center of my SIMCARD.
I will ask, so that they send a record of my call to moneygram. Then I will send it to you. I love you.

I called there 10 times. terrible connection. when the code is dictated to me, it is impossible to hear
can you visit the bank again? and re-send the money so that there is a secret code. I tried to call there. Unsuccessfully. Apparently in different countries, different rules
- I continued this game for a few days, and then sent her some forms that "she" had to fill out... so that Gerry could withdraw his money from the MoneyGram system before the 14-day deadline expired.
- It seems that dear my fiancee Anna was overwhelmed by this situation and asked the advice of other people around her ... she disappeared for 3 days, and then she returned with hilarious explanations about poisonous mushrooms and food poisoning.
- Despite all my insistence, "she" didn't want to fill out those forms... she preferred to wait the 14 days for Gerry to make another payment.
===
Can you imagine what happened to me? I ate canned mushrooms. And I was poisoned.
Yesterday and today, I feel terrible. Tomorrow I will write you a long letter. I love you.

Hello my dear Gerry! I am glad to receive your letter. I want so badly that we met.
I'm tired of being alone. I want to live with my beloved man. Meet each new day together.
And go to bed together too. I want us to do everything together. We watched TV, went for a walk.
I'm really looking forward to this moment. I am sure that these will be the best moments of our life. To fill me
money gram form. I need to find a place where I can print documents. I'm not good
I feel myself. Can you just make a new transaction? And the past money will return to you in 2 weeks.

CHOP-CHOP #1
- I continued this game of "mouse and cat" for 2 weeks... the day before the deadline expired (so when Gerry could have made another payment) I sent him a letter in which I said that I had received information from MoneyGram that the money had been withdrawn from Russia the day before... I had also sent him the "withdrawal report".
- I attached some pictures with another beautiful "Russian" lady (from my personal archive) and said that "maybe your friend Tatiana took the money without telling you, while you were hospitalized because of those mushrooms".
Of course Anna suddenly became very attentive and asked for details.
and
Gerry to Anna... I sent "her" other pictures of Tatiana (including a nude) and said that "I don't think Tatiana is a real friend of you, because she tried to seduce me".
===
My dear, I received official information from MoneyGram about the fact that the money was withdrawn in Russia, by someone who had access to the necessary information. If you say you know nothing, then you need to think of someone else near you who knew about the transaction and had the necessary details. Maybe your girl friend Tatiana knows more about it?
Can you send me an email from Moneygram?
Hello my dear Gerry. I haven't received your money. After all, I didn't know MTCN. I called there, but when
dictated by MTCN, there was interference. You can send me an email from moneygram, from collecting money. I will sort it out
to the bank. I love you.

I find it strange that you ask me that. You should ask Tatiana, because she approached me when you said you were sick and hospitalized. Anyway, I don't think she's such a sincere friend of yours, because she tried to seduce me and sent me nude pictures. She knew about the transaction and told me that she managed to withdraw the money and that she would give it to you when you recovered. Immediately after that I received the official MoneyGram Report (you can find it attached in the message).
With love,
Gerry
With love,
Gerry
First of March
- Anna finally understood that "someone else" had stolen her money and decided to go over it with elegance ...
- she changed her email address and claimed that "YES, I talked to Tatiana now and she took the money ... I recovered the money, but please never communicate with Tatiana again."
- For a few days she was in "love mood" and started asking for details about Gerry, claiming that she was about to buy plane tickets and come to the UK (Gerry lives in Aberdeen)
and
Hello my dear Gerry. Money was handed over to me. But it feels like they wanted to hide it from me.
Please do not write any more to Tatiana. So what day is it better for me to come to you? I apologize,
for the moment. Friends cannot be trusted. I love you, and I hope this will not hinder us.

Okay Gerry. In the coming days, I will sell an apartment and take a ticket for the next plane flight. Write me the name of the airport
so that I can think it over carefully. It will be interesting for me to see your friends. But the more I dream of seeing you. I love you,
very much.

I didn't know how to do it. Then I got the idea to make a portrait from our photographs. But since I love you
I decided to confess my love to you again. I took a photo for you. With this photo I want to express to you all my
love. These three words I will repeat all my life. I love you Gerry! I will never give up my words. I am very

March 03
Of course, it didn't take long and the next "financial" request came ... now, Anna needs 750 euros to pay for the "water" consumed at the apartment she wants to sell.
Of course Gerry is in love and wants to help Anna... at the same time, I asked her to call my parents (Lenny and Lilly)
Anna, trying to avoid the phone call:
Gerry:
- She tried to tell me she called Lenny and Lilly but no one answered the phone. Really?
Hello my dear Gerry. I am glad to receive your letter. Your letter is always like a ray of light in a dark tunnel. I am very
happy to have you. And of course I can talk to your father.
After we met, my life changed. I have an inner excitement when
I think about our meeting. I am confident that we will have an unforgettable time. I will give you all my love.
I visited the housing office today. I wanted to re-register the apartment in my name. But it turns out there is still a debt for water.
Every month for four years, the water bill was added 16 euro. I thought a water meter was installed. But the water meter
missing in the apartment. For me to be able to privatize the apartment, I need to pay another water bill. This is 750 euro.
I am very ashamed to ask you for help again. Can you send this amount to me? Then I will sell the apartment and come to you.
I will refund your money along with the Money Gram commission. I promise you. Just send money so that I know MTCN right away.
I have a great hope that it will not harm our
relationships. I await your letter with apprehension. I love you.

Of course, my love. We will be a family so it seems normal to help you with everything I can.
As soon as I get my salary, I will help you pay that water bill. I'll send you the 750 pounds as soon as possible.
I would like to ask you to talk a little with my father Lenny, because he is extremely pleased with you (I showed him your pictures and I read your letters to him).
He promised to help us with money to move to a bigger house. He is old and has Alzheimer's, so I will ask you to be patient with him and not contradict him. OK?
He is retired and you can call him at any time; his phone number is +44LENNY.
I love you and I miss you!
Hugs and kisses,
Gerry

Gerry I'm glad to receive your letter. But I am ashamed to speak to your father right away. Maybe we can talk to you first?
I'm glad you can help me with the money. I would like to come to you as soon as possible, and talk to your father, at a distance
outstretched arm. I love you Gerry.

Anna, sugar love, you should not be ashamed at all, because my father Lenny is old and he forgets the details immediately (because of his Alzheimer's). But if you want to talk to me, you can call me anytime at +44LILLY (my mother, Lilly might be answering at my phone... they're divorced, and I now live in her house). Dad is willing to help us with money to move into our house, alone... that's why I wanted you to talk to him first and tell him that you are Anna, my fiancée and that you want to get married and make children with me.
I love you,
Gerry
I love you,
Gerry
- I decided to give her another joy and told her I was going fishing with my friends for a few days. I'll be back home on Sunday night.
- I'll tell him "Anna, thank you for calling my father Lenny and I'm glad he agreed to help you with those money."
- I will claim that someone from Russia (a fake Anna) called Lenny and he paid 750 pounds through MoneyGram... another "chop-chop".
My love, I waited in vain for you to call me. Where are you? I checked with the telephone company and they confirmed to me that our telephone line was OK and told me that there was no recording of any calls from Russia yesterday or a day before. This afternoon I will go fishing with some of my friends, and I will return home on Sunday evening (probably quite late at night). Please call my father Lenny because he insists that he wants to hear the voice of "his daughter". I already told you he had Alzheimer's, and after I told him I wanted to get married, he now thought you were "Anna, his daughter from Russia". It is very very important for me (for us) that you talk to him, I hope you understand this. I think at the beginning of next week I will be able to try to make that payment to you.
Gerry, with love!
Gerry, with love!

I'm sure Anna will be very happy on Sunday night.
I will continue the story if something funny comes up.
