    The site she was reffering to was a slovak dating site where I have posted my photo. She sent me this message also in dodgy slovak, she had to orientate in slovak website so I presume she knows at least a bit slovak, the trap could be if she translated the text in some online translator, I just responded her to send me her photo, nothing else, I'm expecting some weird black woman, just for interest.

    Scammers pray on sites like this as they know there'll be a fair few people looking for love and will be vunerable and probably fall for a lot of things like this.

    For a joke its worth writing back to waste their time but not from your personal email account and whatever you do dont divluge personal information. Within days she'll send a picture of some stunner which makes 'some' people think 'wahey i'm lucky here'

    By the way this isnt from past experience just i helped out at an anti-scam site for a fair bit so this is quite common practice.

    (And not every scammer is a 'weird black woman' !)

    If you've put your photo on a dating website and a woman has responded I'd say well isn't that supposed to happen? Believe me, we all can't wait to see her picture. Can you post it here after you've had a look?

    Let's hope that's a random suffix and not any of the following :-

    a) The year of her birth
    b) Her actual age.

    :grin:

    That's her measures, ideal would be 90-60-40

    90 of age, 60 melons bank account and 40 grades celsius of fever.

    Here it is, cool Sandra's story :)

    Dear love,
    I am really happy in his response to my mail.How you?
    Mine is a little difficult here in Dakar Senegal.
    My name is Sandra Oneil from Ivory Coast in West Africa, 5.3ft tall, fair in complexion, (never married before) and now I am 23 years of age residing in the refugee camp here in Dakar as a result of the civil war that was fought in my country.
    My late father Dr Harold Oneil was the managing director of Mavococoa and Associates (Ltd), and he was the Special advicer to the former Head of State (late Dr Robert Guei) before the rebels attacked our house early one morning and killed my mother and my father in cold blood.I was the only survived because i was away from home during the incident, and I managed to make my way to a nearby country Senegal, where I am leaving now as a refugee in a refugee camp.
    I would like to know more about you.Your likes and dislikes, your hobbies and what you are doing presently.I will tell you more about myself in my next mail.Attached here are my photos before the civil war. I would also like to see more of your pictures will tell if any.I more in my next mail.
    Hoping to hear from you soon.
    Thanks.
    Yours in love
    Sandra oneil

    Its quite depressing in the year 2010 people are still falling for these 419 scams. (Not talking about Bohusk).

    But you see so many of these similar type of responses to people, its terrible they believe this 'someone died in a plane crash...' type stuff but still shocking people fall for this and send them money.

    Good looking lady :D Just one thing bothers me... don't send her any money no matter what she says :(

    Well you dont often have an ugly picture when its a potential scam !

    So let me get this right, shes in a refugee camp but she has access to the net and does she try to find news of relatives etc at other camps ? Nope she then creates a profile on a ukraine dating site and contacts bohusk !

    The most markable mistake was that there is writting me sandra oneil and the picture file name was karen tsakpo.jpg , I've googled it in google pictures and found exactly the same photo which I then posted here.

    Thankfully these scammers are stupid as hell. Its funny reading some of the stories over at www.scamorama.com

    The guy who led a scammer on and got him to carve a C64 in wood was impressive though ! Just found the link...

    www.419eater.com/html/john_boko.htm

    This was the C64 he made..

    I liked the old classic one where the guy said he worked for a company called IAMAD ILDO, and got the picture of the scammer geezer holding the sign up with it written on.

    Then there was the one who got the scammer posting pics of himself wearing womens clothes :lol:

    ....all top comedy stuff :D

    Yeah i've seen those two stories, funny as hell.

    You then get some people feeling sorry for these scammers saying you shouldnt bait them !

    I had one person try to scam me, from a new email account i emailed him saying i was a scout for Man Utd and how he was picked as a candidate for training, all good PR etc. He filled in a questionaire and everything i sent him and posed for pictures. I then had great joy in emailing him back and saying it was a hoax, i did it because he tried to scam me.

    He did seem like he was quite sorry, but i do hate scammers, they dont care if they scam a 90 year old granny or a poor old guy in Zimbabwe. They just want to scam you, all scum
