I’m in love with a Russian scam named Olga. She Emails me often, her English is rather stilted and sometimes she quotes whole paragraphs from Wikipedia, but she is so sweet, and really cares for me, and her pictures! Daughter of a Viking Princess! It will probably end better than my first marriage…Bring It Olga! ---

That’s my mother in laws name, and it amuses me to imagine her first forays into the world of personal computing to be Russian scams. 😛 ---

Be sure to shower her with cash if you want to see your relationship grow. ---

On the other hand, I’d be sure to ditch her the moment she asks for you to send her money. Whether it’s to come and visit you or to pay for her poor babushka’s hospital treatment makes no difference whatsoever. ---

You clearly have no idea how to make a good relationship with a Russian scam grow. I bet you are one of those people who always weighs into relationship threads to say the OP should end it. ---

> [@](#): > > Blagoveshchensk (Russian: Благовещенск; IPA: [bləgɐˈvʲɛɕːɪnsk]) is a city and the administrative center of Amur Oblast, Russia, located at the confluence of the Amur and Zeya Rivers, opposite to the Chinese city of Heihe. Among her first words to me, copy and pasted from Wikipedia. How could I not love her? If I’m at a loss of words I just go to Wiki now and copy and paste, this is much better than the personality dynamics of E Harmony, no? I worry about her, though, because if she scams me out of my banking info how will she live on 159.00 US dollars? If in a moment of simple minded lust she gets my credit info what will she profit? I have no credit info. I could give her my ssn but I strongly advise her that, due to certain indiscretions in my long lost youth, she not claim it her own. My poor Olga! ---

It will not end better then your first marriage, trust me on this as I WAS married to a Russian for my first. You need to end it man, end it! Russian women are teh crazy, trust me on this. They are fun in bed though so I am kind of torn on if you should continue or not. ---
