I may be being  scammed by Russian internet woman with a yahoo.com address from Russia? Is that possible?

Chances are good it's a scam.  So be smart:  Don't send her any money, don't offer to foot any phone bills.  If she says she's moving, that's great.  Tell her you'll be happy to take her out to dinner once she arrives, but you won't spend a single penny on her before she's face to face, in the flesh.

I think sites like this send out a lot of fake email to people who have signed up for free trial.  The fake emails seem to come from people wanting to meet them, but to reply you'd need to pay a fee.  I had somehow signed up for this one you mention using two different screen names, and the odd thing is each screen name gets exactly the same message from the same 'woman' at exactly the same time. I will get one of these duplicate sets of messages maybe once a week, and I just delete them all. Never does one screen name get a message that the other does not. I would hazard a guess that everyone who is not a paid member also gets the same messages.\n\nSo I think it is highly likely a lot of these are just scam operations.  For that reason I have never become a paid member; I think the whole thing is dubious at best, outright fraud at worst.

I've gotten many phishing emails...but each time I get an email (like the one I got the other day saying my payment for $400.00 had been sent to someone through Pay Pal) I check my account immediately to be sure...if you ever get an email like that and you know you didn't buy anything for that amount do not respond! Open another browser and log on to the account that way...never use the link in the email...that's how you get screwed. After confirming that the transaction didn't happen forward the bogus email to pay pal, eBay, or whoever else it was supposed to be from. Yahoo, Pay Pal, and eBay have forwarding address for phishing emails...good luck.

It's practically impossible to stop international Internet scams.  As you can see from the link below, the FBI is very much aware of them.  Just think before you click any links or contact anyone from suspicious emails.\n\nhttp://www.fbi.gov/majcases/fraud/fraudschemes.htm

Sorry, but you cannot. The country is of no significance for she could be using any of several email service providers. Even if you do know the service provider you will need to know her email ID.

My former husband worked in Nigeria and these e-mails are indeed fraudulant.  And it seems that there's not much you can do except identify them as spam and keep blocking the address.  Do not send any personal information!!

Contact your local police or if you are in the US, contact the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) but don't get your hopes up--- you fell for a scam and the scammer knows what he/she is doing. It will be very hard to track her down; every account she has provided (Yahoo, Western Union, etc) can be obtained anonymously.

Is this through someone on the internet? If so, get out ASAP!! It's a scam.

Definite scam. Forward it to abuse@yahoo.com and delete it!

Thank you for the warning - these kinds of scam mails are flooding everyones mailboxes and I think that they contain one or more Viruses or Trojans or Spyware or Tracking cookies which transmit what you write in reply to the senders and then .... BANG - you or your PC or your bank account are done for - at least thats what I think - and so the best way is to religiously delete or mark the thing as spam without replying to it. They got your email IDs by tracking cookies on your computer or from a search of the internet using an iterative program

No. You've got either spam or scam. Just report it.

Russian sites? give them up. the girls on it are only after one thing. your money. I know the formula all too well. they are nice, they look hot, they try to convince you they love you and you love them. then they want to come to you, but they can't afford to so ask you to foot the bill for a visa, plane fare ect. if you do, they got your money and they vanish. I have an open case over one of them at the fbi fraud investigation department and can show you exactly how they work, the pattern they all work with and everything else. get hold of me at dragon16100@sbcglobal and I'll be happy to share my scam artist collection. i save them all.

I get those emails at least once a week.\n\nOne email came from a Yahoo! address.  I forwarded the email with the headers to abuse@yahoo.com, AND copied the sender.  In the body of the email I requested that the person be investigated for fraud.\n\nScammer actually sent me another email asking for my contact info, so we could discuss "business!"\n\nI guess they will keep going as long as people fall for them.

Oh, I have seen grammar like this before. I am going to take a stab in the dark and say I bet it originated out of someplace in Africa, but I won't mention any countries by name. It sounds like a scam all right. The last time I got a message like that, I said something like, "Please take me off your email list. If you contact me again, I will have to forward your information on to my friend, who is an agent in the FBI. He is doing a special project in tracking people who are involved in international fraud schemes, and he would be really interested in knowing more about you." Believe, me I never heard from the individual ever again.

I have an address I rarely use.  Send it there and I'll check it over (no guarantees).  I think it's xxxxxxxxxxx.  I'll log off and check it and if it isn't the right address then I'll edit this message.  If I don't edit it, assume the address is correct.\n\n\nokay.  It was xxxxxxx

Send her an email and ask her.  She might have given you a fake address on purpose or by accident.
