I'm writing to Russian-Detective to report on the latest/current varient of the VISA/travel scam. The main news here is that the picture of the girl is different from any of the ones I've seen on your site.
First of all, let me tell you that it is the first time I have been subject to a scam like this. I am familiar with the Nigerian 419 lottery scams, but this dating one very much takes a different approach. I tagged along for the first two emails and then I got suspicious when I found out that the scammer has been online on Faceparty.com for a duration of 8 hours and 20 minutes. That is an extensive period of time, so that rings alarm bells. I then received a third email off the scammer. By then, it was already too late for him/her. The scammer has been found out.
I am going to attach the following to this email:
- Her three emails (three TXT files)
- The email header! (one TXT file)
- Her pictures (two JPG files)
- The WHOIS lookup (one TXT file)
The header had the same IP address on all three emails, so I'll only need to submit it once. The WHOIS.txt contains the geographical location, but bear in mind that it is a legitimate PC that has been hacked as a spam relay. I've also included some other web links where the scammer has appeared. I admire the work that the people have done to construct Russian-Detective.
Thank you. Benjy.

Hello dear Benjy!!! How are you? It is me again. I am glad to have the letter from you.
I hope you are not bored with me. As for me I find our correspondence rather interesting.
I think you want to know more about me so I will go on describing myself.
You know I live in Russia in the town Penza. I have been living in Russia for all my life and have never been in other countries.
The town where I live is rather small but it is very beautiful.
We have very wonderful nature here. There are a lot of beautiful lakes and rivers here.
Here there passes the main river of our city, its name same as well as the name of city, that is Penza.
I studied and graduated the university with the diploma of social worker.
Now I work in this city in the boarding school for orphans and bring up children of orphans.
I have written about it. This job is not paid very well but I do not care.
I like my job because I love children very much. I want to give everything for their future happiness.
But it is enough about my job. I have a cat. I will write you more about my interests.
I am rather active person and I like outdoor activities.
I like camping very much and I try to spend my free time with my friends on the nature. I also like sports.
I like sports too, especially sport games. During the wintertime I like skiing and skating.
We have a lot of snow here and I can ski very often.
If I do not have opportunity for active spending time I like to read literature. I like listening to music very much.
Most of all I like slow compositions and ballads. They help me to relax. But I can listen to different music.
Sometimes I just like to listen silence. As for my dislikes I even do not know what they are.
I do no like lie and dishonesty. I do not like to play with the feelings of other people and do not like when somebody plays with my feelings.
I have written that I am romantic person. I believe in destiny and in the love at first site.
Maybe it is unusual, but it is me, such as I am. I suppose you can ask why I am searching for someone in the Internet.
I exactly do not know why. My past relationships were not good. I met one man here. He was very nice and kind.
I failed in love with him. Everything was good but then he became to drink a lot and I was on the second place for him.
I suffered some time from his attitude but one day he hit me and I was not able to stay with him more. So I left him.
He make me feel pain and I was in depression for some time but now I am beginning my new life and I have decided to try to find the right person who will be able to love me and care about me in the global net.
I do not know if I will be able to do it. Only time can show it.
Maybe it is a little strange that I write you such things and do not know you rather well yet.
But I want to be honest and open with you. Hope you will appreciate it and will be honest with me too.
So you know some more about my life and me. I do not know what exactly you think about me, but you always can tell me about it.
I also would like to know more about you, your life, your likes and dislikes.
You can always write me about it if you want. All right I need to go now.
I am writing you from the Internet cafe.
I do not have computer with phone at home because I do not have opportunity for it.
It is not very far from the place where I work. But it takes some time to get home from here.
I have to take the bus to get home. I do not have car, you know.
I will go now, ok. I will think about you and I will be waiting for your letters with big impatience.
Sincerely your Ekaterina.

Hello my dear Benjy!!!
At last I get to the Internet cafe and can write you. Big gratitude to you your fine photo. How are you these days?
Hope everything is fine. As for me I am rather good. It is really excited that I met you.
I do not know you very well but I really find our connection very interesting and delightful.
I do not know what exactly made me contact your ad. Perhaps it was some kind of intuition.
I am really glad that I wrote you and I hope this intuition will not lie to me.
I think you want to know more things about my life here. You know that I have been living here for all my life.
I spend all my childhood in Penza city. I do not like to remember that time.
I explain you why. I am the orphan and I do not have family. I even do not know my mother and father.
I was brought up in the boarding school for children orphans. You know that it is not happy to live without parents.
I wanted to find my parents when I brought up but then I forgot about this idea.
That's why I decided to work in the boarding school and give all my love and care to children who do not have love from parents.
Now I live with two my girlfriends. We rent the room together. Their names are Tatyana and Nadezhda.
We know each other from the childhood. We were together in the boarding school and they like my sisters now.
They work on the textile plant. We spend a lot of time together.
I think any person can have only few real friends.
I have such friends and I know that I always can hope on their help and support.
I also have some friends from my work but we do not spend a lot of time together.
I think it is because everybody has her or his own life. But sometimes we gather together and go for picnics or cinema.
Most of all I like to watch comedies and romantic films.
What else I can tell you about me?
I believe in God. I am Christian but I think that the main faith is in the heart and not just in going to the church.
There are a lot of people who go to the church just for view or fashion.
I am against such faith. You know that I like romantic things. I like flowers.
I like all flowers but most of all I like roses. It is the flowers of love. My favorite color is blue.
I had one dream in childhood. I wanted to sea Blue Ocean. I have never seen ocean.
Hope I will be able to see it one day. Now I have more serious dreams.
You know that I want to have my own family, my own micro world.
I live with my girlfriends now but I want to have close person who will understand me in everything.
I want to share all moments of the life with him. I want to have beloved man who will love me and will care about me.
I dream about having a family and to have close friends, to gather together and to spend vacations, to have picnics, to go out together.
It is dreams again. I hope that they will come true one day. I think I should let you go now.
I have written you a lot of information about me in my letters.
I spend a lot of time writing letters because I type very slowly. Hope my typing skills will be better in some time.
If you want to know anything you can always ask me about it, ok.
Maybe it is strange but I thought about you. You know that I am very interested in you and our connection.
Hope everything will be fine with it.
Well, I need to close here.
I need to go but I will think about you. I already think about you a lot.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Your friend Ekaterina.

Hello dearest Benjy!!!
I could not write to you, because I was ill
I am very happy to read your words. You know that I wait for your letters with so big impatience.
My life here is so usual. I wake up and go to work.
I like my work and children are the only good I have here and I give them all my energy.
I work since 8:00 till 17:00 five days per week but sometimes I work more hours.
Then I go to sport hall to work out and home and just have a rest till next morning.
And so is every day. Only on weekends I have some free time to relax.
Sometimes I feel that I am alone and I want to have real close for me person.
I do not know what I would do without Tatyana and Nadezhda. It is my girlfriends I have written you about them.
Also my cat helps me to forget about loneliness. I do not remember if I wrote to you that we have a cat.
Her name is Murka. She is very kind and clever. But now I have met you and you like a new breathe in my life.
I begin to miss you when I cannot read you letters.
I usually go to the cafe during my lunch break or after work
By the way I have told my girlfriends about our correspondence.
They are a little skeptical about all of this.
They told me that there are so many lies in the Internet and you cannot believe anybody but I hope we will change their mind, will we? Oh, I have remembered that I need to cook supper. My girlfriends will come home rather late today and I need to feed them.
I do not remember if I have written to you that I like cooking.
My friends like my cooking. I like to cook something delicious and then invite my friends to taste.
I think you would like my cooking too. Maybe you will be able to taste it one day.
Everything can happen in this world. Am I right? I am really glad that we have met each other.
And I am not afraid of anything. Time will show to us everything we want to know I think. Am I right?
I have the feelings that we will have a lot of wonderful moments in the future.
Sorry dear, I need to go now. I need to get to home as quickly as possible to cook the supper.
I will try to write you more next time, ok.
As always I will wait for your letters with very big impatience and will think about you.
Your letters are becoming very important for me. Have a good day.
Your friend Ekaterina.
