Hello, me call
Alina.
I present interests of club of lady of Volga -
Vyatka region. I and yet how many lady living in
various cities of Volgas - Vyatka of region of
Russia. Have created a database of lady which are
interested to find the happiness and to meet the man of the dream abroad.
We it is sure, that you collided with problem
Scammer. To you sent messages of lady from Russia
and
Ukraine, but basically all of them were Scammer. And
all of them under different pretexts asked from
foreign men only money. In replacements of the man
should that. The present ladies which agree to
create family abroad very little, believe us. Many
of foreigners trust beautiful and love messages
of lady and become victims of a deceit. It is a
reality, and with it to have to agree!
Certainly is AntiScammer! But we shall consider
such situation. We shall assume lady, we shall
notice at once present, communicates with the
foreigner. The girl after some dialogue understands,
that it not her man. Also tries to interrupt
correspondence, and he sends her messages and a
photo
in AntiScammer. And how to trust and trust after
that to foreign men! But the girl meets the man of
the dream and she is happy. But once in fine day the
man having found out a photo of the girl in
AntiScammer does not trust her. And as think to act
in such situation. Many of us and girl have
passed ours through it. It also is one of the
reasons why we have created a database of the
present
ladies. Yes there are girls capable to begin serious
relations and to create in a consequence happy
family abroad. And to such girls we try the help and
we put weight of efforts. You see someone
should help girls, why not we.
We have created base given and constantly try to fill up it. We search through our information
sources of lady which agree to leave in marriage
abroad. Our primary goal the help both to our girls
and citizens of the foreign states to create strong
family and to be happy. Subsequently we also
render services in delivery of colors or gifts to
the girl with whom our client corresponds. If the
man likes one of offered girls (though such was not)
we send questionnaires of new nominees.
Naturally girls which keep in touch with men leave a
database, in order to prevent various
misunderstanding. We guarantee to our clients
authenticity of the girl. And having taken advantage
once our service, the man is entitled to use our
services constantly.
WE ASK ONLY ABOUT ONE ABOUT NONDISCLOSURE OF THIS
MESSAGE. SCAMMER THE BIG AND POWERFUL
ORGANIZATION. AND HAVING FOUND OUT ABOUT EXISTENCE
IN RUSSIA ANTISCAMMER WILL TRY TO FIND OUT US.
ENABLE SEARCH OF HAPPINESS TO GIRLS And MEN!!!
Unfortunately while our services paid. It is
necessary for us to pay expenses on search present
girls. To be engaged in delivery various a gift and
to arrange departure of the girl abroad. We ask
200 $. Probably to you will seem, that we ask the
big money, but it not so. If you will meet
Scammer, will understand, that we appeared are
right. All over again you should send the
questionnaire (it is desirable from photos) in our
address and you are interested in what girl
(growth, color of hair and eyes, weight and other
parameters interesting for you and character
traits). And we shall try to pick up girls which
approach your criteria. Then we inform you
concerning result of search. At once we warn!!! Not
always search, appears successful. But in any
case we inform you concerning result of search.
Search occurs during couple of days.
In our database while only girls living in territory
of Volga - Vyatka region. But further we plan
to search and in other regions of Russia (the north
and the south). If you agree, send the
questionnaire and a photo on our electronic address
and the information of whom you wish to meet. If
we are sure, that have found to you suitable
candidacies that we send to you the further
information. We also inform on unsuccessful search.
We wish you successful search and happy home
life!!!
P.S. We shall reply interesting to you!

Not only this message originated from Mari El (84.246.64.87 - old good Fokus-Satcom!) and was sent with The Bat!, but actually the e-mail address of this "Alina": olesya.nikitina@gmail.com, belongs to a well-known scammer Irinalom.
I absolutely love how they say "SCAMMER THE BIG AND POWERFUL ORGANIZATION". So, they admit they are "organization"! Not sure about "powerful", but "big" - definately!
The message really stank and was an obvious scam, but my scambaiting friend decided to go till the end and pretended he was interested. He asked them how could he pay and what forms of payment did they accept, and... guess what?? Sure, they accepted only Western Union! This is the lovely reply he got:

Mr. xxxx.
We are glad, that you were interested with our project. With
the New Year which has stepped you!!!
We bring the apologies for a delay. We hope for your
understanding.
We understand your problem and we shall try to you the help.
We send you a photo. All other data
(the phone if it is present, a home address and the electronic
address) after you accept our
conditions. But if you accept our conditions and agree to ours
cooperation we ask you to describe
your search more in detail. Whom exactly you wish to find. To
make the small questionnaire on your
girl of dream. It enables us to be defined what biographical
particulars to you to send. Are
beforehand grateful.
As you have noticed our services paid. Our services cost 200
American dollar. While we accept only
payments I use the Western Union. But we try to open the bank
account. Money is necessary for
sending for a name: ALINA YUSUPZYANOVA, using as we have
already told the Western Union.
And still you! At our cooperation you are obliged: to inform
with which of submitted to you in the
future girls you conduct correspondence. It is necessary for
elimination of misunderstanding as of
you and on the part of the girl.
Club of lady of Volga - Vyatka region.
***************
Better to say: "Club of scammers of Volga - Vyatka region". To the message were attached the following photos of "innocent girls from Volga - Vyatka region":
The final end of this story: couple days later, "Alina Yusupzyanova", the one that was supposed to receive $200 by Western Union, registered on our dating service. Obviously she didn't suspect that the guy whom she offered "her services" was actually my buddy! She turned out to be the third girl on the photos above: Alina Yusypzianova.
Bottom line: if you ever receive a message similar to the one above, beware! The names may be different, the e-mail address may be different, but scam is the same. No legit Russian business will accept payment Western Union only. Here is another example of the same scam:

Service of delivering floral and gift orders
Russian Scam (also known as Dating Scam) is a widespread criminal
scheme many people have suffered from. You meet someone over the
Internet and this someone claims to be a beautiful Russian woman (or
Ukrainian, Belarussian etc etc). You correspond with this person
(often it's a man, not a woman actually) and one day (sometimes in few
days, sometimes in few months) you are asked to send money to her to
buy a visa and airplane tickets to come to visit you, to help her poor
mother "who is ill and at hospital" etc etc etc. Needless to say, once
you send money this person disappears (alternatively you may be asked
for more money transfers).
It is not our purpose to provide you with detailed anti-scam manual, -
there are plenty of web-sites dedicated to this type of scam. The real
goal is to provide you with a quickly updated database of names, email
addresses and street addresses the scammers use.
http://detectiveclub.ru/eng/scam/ As a flower delivery service we are
usually the first to know about new aliases used by scam people. ALL
addresses and names used here come from the database of our attempted
deliveries, if you see some name here then we had an order to this
person /to this address/ and the address turned out to be bogus when
our florist attempted to deliver the flowers.
If you meet someone on the Internet and have never seen this person in
the reality, please check this list prior to placing your order. We
reserve the right not to issue any refund if your order could not be
fulfilled due to a fake address. If you do not see this person in the
list but still have some doubts, you are welcome to place your order
with us, it's a good way to find if this person is real. But keeping
in mind our non-refund policy you may wish to send some inexpensive
bouquet with your first order.
http://detectiveclub.ru/eng/surp_serv.php
We do not list the photos of scammers. We reserve the right not to
respond to requests for details on each specific delivery. We do not
provide information on the senders as we respect customers' privacy.
We do not add additional information to this database upon your
request. We fulfill requests for further investigation. If you have
any questions or believe some name appeared here by mistake, please
contact us at info@detectiveclub.ru You may wish to view the whole
list but we suggest using the search tool instead. Make your search
query short, for instance when looking for "Olya Kirpichnikov", use
"Kirpich" or "Kirpichnikova" as your query, not the full name as there
may be variations.
http://detectiveclub.ru/eng/
Please remember: the website DETECTIVECLUB.RU is a SCAM!!! It belongs to Mari El scammers! DO NOT SEND MONEY! DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM!
OTHER DOMAINS OWNED BY MARI EL SCAMMERS:
WAIT-MAIL.COM, BRIDESCAM.INFO AND BRIDESCAM.BIZ
Everything coming from these domains is a SCAM!!
Please note: the article above is the original article of this site. I didn't give ANYBODY permission to re-publish it. If you find this article on other sites, it means it was STOLEN from this site. I would think twice about credibility of a site or a dating service that is stealing copyrighted materials.
Unfortunately, the online dating nowadays is turning into a one big scam. When we check out other dating services, we are horrified: 50% of males and 90% of females (just think about it!!!!) of their photo galleries are scammers. This is a fact! Those cute blonde girls from the United States in reality are scammers from West Africa or Mari El, Russia. If you want a scam free dating, sign up with our site! We don't inflate our database with scammers. We maintain it small and clean, always putting quality before quantity. We don't care if we have less members than other dating services, at least we know they are all real people, and that's the only thing that matters. If our members say they are from the US or UK, we can 100% guarantee you they ARE from US or UK, and NOT from Nigeria, Ivory Coast or Russia. If a Russian girl on our site says she is from Moscow, you can be 100% sure she IS from Moscow, and not from Mari El. We check every registration: IPs, anonymous proxies registrations, e-mails, Yahoo profiles, everything. Sign up today! This is NOT an advertising. This is a truth of life.
