Scam Types dot Com

I’d almost forgotten about the fake profile I had put up on one of those Russian dating sites but, for some reason, decided to check the emails on there.

My alter ego, Jack Hov, seems to be very popular indeed, having received over 1000 emails!

I’ve certainly not had time to read them all but one of the few I looked at caught my eye as it contained a photograph which I’ve included in the text of ‘her’ email below.

For those who do not know about Russian dating scams I should point out that ’Elena Volkova’ is almost certainly NOT looking for love or marriage. There is also a fair chance that ’she’ is not even female.

A quick search of the net will reveal that her name is linked to online dating scams in a big way so think carefully before corresponding with anyone who contacts you in this way.
