Russian E-Mail Scam

I have been getting unsolicited e-mails that are supposedly from a Ukranian woman named Mariya Fedoroni. She’s been sending me love letters that I ignored at first, but they kept coming so I wrote an over-the-top response that I thought would end the letters. It didn’t; but it did draw out the scam. She asked me to wire her $950 for a plane ticket and a visa to come to America so she can be with me. Riiight. I called the FBI instead, and asked if they were interested in small-time internet scams. The guy said sure, and told me I could mail the letters to him. I suggested he give me his e-mail address and I could just forward them to him. He answered HE DIDN’T KNOW THE E-MAIL ADDRESS. What an idiot. I told him he wasn’t inspiring my “full faith and credit” in the US government. I think that pissed him off. He referred me to their web site, the same one that’s accepting info about the terrorists. I had to choose a category for the complaint. International scam? Fits. Spam / Unsolicited e-mail? Also fits. Non-delivery of purchased goods? Heh heh. Could fit! I opted for the Spam category and filed a complaint. In the meantime I wrote the minx again and suggested I mail her the plane ticket instead of the money and asked for her measurements so I could have a wedding dress tailored. I checked into wiring her 950 rubles as a joke, but that’s $30 and change so I didn’t want to do that.
