Sofia Scam- lady from the Ukraine











I am posting this for anyone who hasn't seen one of these scams.
What usually happens on these types of scams is you get spammed out of the blue requesting friendship.
The person sending this has a bunch of prewritten stuff in terrible English. You will see what I mean if you read the letter below.
Then they keep asking more questions and stuff until finally they ask you to send money for passage to the US.
It is a wire scam.
It is probably some guy who is sending you pictures of some semi-good-looking girl to get into your wallet.
So beware. If someone wants to meet you, never having met you at all, they want your money.
Run Forest run! Don't send any money.
Thanks,
Burke Bennett
