"I live in a city under name Kirov"

Unlike some other dating scam emails promoting very young women, this particular one claims to be from a 37-year-old economist, which I guess might say something about their target audience. In reality, "Mariya" is probably a fat sweaty male Russian who is trying to scam you out of some money.

women who live without men, and there are such agencies of marriage which have many electronic addresses, and such agency can help to find for women the suitable man. I have gone to one of such agencies, and have addressed to them with inquiry that they have found for me the
good man. They have informed at once me, that in Russia I should search for the good and decent man very long time. Then they have offered me acquaintance to the man from other country, on what I have looked from a positive side. As I know, that at us in the country of the man, do not appreciate women, is possible because women several times more.

In general, I have agreed to strike up acquaintance to the man from other country, and they have given me your electronic address. Having told that you the lonely fair and decent man who searches for the woman for creation of relations. Then I took your electronic address and have gone to the cafe Internet to write you the letter. Here now you can my letter see. I have written you it with hope, that you will answer to me.

I too have received mail from someone who could be the same person. I have several messages. All the information they give is entirely consistent with the information she gives in the one message quoted by Conrad. I have a number of pictures. One is identical to the one posted. They have given me no reason to disbelieve what they have told me. There are two things I find slightly puzzling; how did they come by my email address ? They said, as many messages from people claiming to be Russian women do, that they got it from a dating website, but all the websites I know keep your personal email secret. Second, as with many such persons, at some point they declare their love for you, and say how they cannot live without you, etc, after only a few emails (but >10). These two things are weak evidence to accuse someone of scamming.

Usually they will keep asking for funds or expensive items that they need for airline tickets, visas etc etc. The basic plan is to milk as much money as they can out of as many people as possible.
