Pittsburgh’s Response to Russia: “I would like to visit and meet you in Baikalsk!”
BlueEyes1962 18 Dec 2007 | : He/She Said That?, Scams
I got this response from Treefrog from my last post (From Russia to Pittsburgh) – It was too good to be a comment – I am making it a post:
—————
I’ve talked to her! That’s Evgenia. But that’s silly, she’s not from Snezhinsk!
She contacted me like this:
From: violet2187ly7
Your ad caught my eye and I would like to get to know you better
….
34-year-old Woman
Barnegat Light, New Jersey, United States
seeking Men 35 – 50
So I asked her for a picture. She responded:
First of all I’d like to thank you for responding me back and I should be honest with you, I live in Russia. I live in a small town with the population 17000 people which is called Baikalsk. It is located not far from big city Irkutsk. It is in Siberia.
Everybody wants to be happy and me too. I am not after money or sugar daddies or better life.
I guess you are interested in my likes and dislikes:
- I am an orphan
- I work as a surgeon in a city hospital
- I like almost all kinds of music but I prefer Classical music and I hate rap.
- My favourite flowers are white lilies
- don’t have tattoos or piercings exept for my ears
- I don’t like winter but winters are usually cold in Russia
I guess that is all for today. Please write me back today or tomorrow.
Your new friend from Russia,Evgenia
She’s a babe! And I was relieved to learn that she disliked rap. I figured she might be asking me for money soon, so I replied like so:
To: Evgenia
Thanks. I’ve always wanted to visit Russia. I first heard of Irkutsk from playing the board game Risk (do you know it?) and of course I know of Lake Baikal from geography class. I see that Baikalsk is right on the lake and has good skiing!
I would like to visit and meet you in Baikalsk! Maybe we could go skiing together?
Unfortunately, I am in debt and I need money if I am going to travel. Do you think you could send me $2000 for my travel expenses to get to Irkutsk? I understand that it’s only $200 or so to Irkutsk from Moscow, on the Trans-Siberian Railway.
I suppose that’s the economical way to come.
I look forward to finally meeting you!
I never heard back from her.
