		<description>yeah, I got this email from a classified ad posted on a reliable website, only to find it a scam. I thought there were REAL legitimate online jobs out there, but I guess not. Ugh. 


Thanks for the post.... things got really shady when I translated dating.ru from Russian into English and quickly discovered the mail order bride thing. Everything everyone said above is true... they send you the same texts, different email addresses every time. Shady. Shady. Shady. 

Oh, and its a spam scam!</description>

		<description>I received something similar, replied with "Tell me more", 
and the following is what they sent me next (from a different email address, 
so they jump from one to another to stay one step ahead of being shut down).

Other than my email, I replied with all false info, including a fake phone number with too few digits, 
so I will update you all when/if the next reply comes.  

These are the kind of people I like to mess with.  I go sign THEIR email address up for all kinds of other SPAM.  If they send me text to correct, I will send it back in worse shape, etc.  If/when they eventually ask for a bank account number I will seriously mess with them, and lure them to some federal honeypots.  Depending upon where they are physically located, they might get arrested.

Dear Rick,

If it will be interesting to you, here some words about me and about the
company. I work in this company about 2 years. Began with lower post now I
am engaged in a personnel set, training of employees. As well as you I like
to go shopping and do purchases, I try to go more at leisure what not to sit
up at office at the computer.
As to about the company:
Our main offices are in Russia, Ukraine, Poland. We work with various dating
the companies.
 Company helps to deliver flowers, gifts, tickets and other to people which
are in other country. So for example if the American wishes to marry the
girl from Russia that thanks to us it can send money for the ticket what it
has arrived to it. But that the girl would not deceive him it addresses to
us we call up to the girl we check its co-ordinates and we inform it. This
little about our company.
Our company works with such companies as:
www.dating.ru
www.dating.de
www.dating.be
Further we will send you texts which you should correct. Work not difficult,
it is simple our company there is in Belgium instead of in USA, and
consequently English not our native language. But we a have a lot of clients
from usa and we wish to communicate with them competently. 1kb it is a
little you will see when receive the text. Yes we pay 7$ each kilobyte of
the text.
Payment is made in a month after the work beginning. We do payment from
Western Union or Money Gram.As at sending the commission nearby 30$
undertakes and it is not favourable to us to pay after each text.

If wish to start job, fill registration form:

		<description>I just set up my own proofreading website a couple of weeks ago and then suddenly last week this email came in. I figured it was a scam since they give a gmail address for you to reply to and the email just sounded too dodgy. I checked the email it was sent from and it was a different address. I didn't reply. Then today I got a second email, the same as the first but with a different gmail address to reply to and with it being sent from a different person and different email address. That's when I decided to come and see if the scam was written about online - and lo and behold, I found this page giving me confirmation. Thanks!</description>

		<description>Glad I researched and found yor site......It's too bad it's a scam...I sent the first draft in to them....But, upon thinking on it, i figured they would have to ask for  my ss number to send a 1099....... (most ads are a scam, but I keep hoping to find work online.)
I found out, that i kind of like this editing and corrections type of work....think I will research it on freelance sites....  

Mine email was from  Jerry Lihgten from euro dating union...

		<description>Just as above, I googled "Dating Euro Union" and this page popped fist in line! I got this scamletter yesterday, knew it was bogus BS ... Good rule of thumb: If it sounds to good too be true ... it IS too good to be true! 
Same here also, addys were different 
sender:  cyjflbatnln@bmwleasing.com. 
A search on this addy took me to an ad page for leasing companies/services that was sponsored by "godaddy.com"
Reply:   hrdating.glaine@gmail.com.  
When I tried "hrdating.glain" in addy bar ... it led to nowhere, nothing was found. Then I googled "hrdating" and it actually turned up a dating sight. An UK site called "hrdating" ... amazingly enough! lol
The senders name was: Bobbie Marquez (?)
I figure the dude/chick used this site for the email addy they usually give you for contacts, so he is a registered user. Did a site search for "Bobbie Marquez" of course, nothing turned up. They only offered a "user name" search and oddly to me, they do this for non-members? Dunno, just found that a little lax.
Anyways... I ramble ...
Thanks for the heads-up and all.
Peace &#38; Love,
~M</description>
