A suggestion for email scammers: Don't use Google Translate

Quote:
Hello my name is Marina You probably are not much surprised that have
received my letter, I understand that you at all do not represent who
I, but it not the big problem. I ask you to give to me some minutes to
read my letter. As I already spoke my name is Marina I live in city
St. Petersburg to me of 28 years. I have written to you that will get
acquainted with you, I have received yours e-mail the address in
agency of acquaintances to me have told that you very good and kind
person. I have paid for it 2000 roubles. And I very much hope that I
have not spent time and money in vain. I very much hope that you will
answer me. I to you will tell not much about myself. You already know
that to me of 28 years, I work in a boarding school as the logopedist
I learn small children to talk. I very active girl and very much love
sports. I very much love children. I very lonely girl because I was
disappointed earlier in Russian men and after long time I have solved
will get acquainted with the man from other country, with you. For
this purpose I have gone to agency and have paid money. If it will be
interesting to you also you will answer my letter then I with pleasure
will tell to you much more about myself and about twist to a family.
Now I worry not much because I at all do not know as you will react to
my letter. I send you my photo and I very much hope that it is
pleasant to you. I will finish this letter.
Hard to sucker someone who has no idea what you're talking about. At least the Nigerians know their grammar.

Doesn't help that "she" sent me the same message at three different email addresses...

I'm guessing it's really a cross-dressing Russian Mafioso.

I just got four more of them (new address this time). Maybe whoever gets the most copies wins?

She's pretty and she paid almost $79 for each of your email addresses. You should probably send her some money so she could come to this country. Tell her you're expecting some money from Nigeria and you'll send her a check as soon as you get it.

Re: A suggestion for email scammers: Don't use Google Translate

I dont know about you guys, but I feel sorry for poor, innocent, illiterate Marina and so I'm about to send her my life savings so that she can come to America. I'm expecting money from Nigeria any day now anyway from a banker trying to launder some money he stole from a deceased client.
