If you too keep getting scammed for money by Russian women, you won’t want to miss this week’s random chat with James…
9:40 pm James
hi
10:02 pm Me
Hello James!
10:02 pm James
how are you?
10:03 pm Me
I am well, and you?
10:03 pm James
not too bad
10:05 pm James
i have one question if you dont mind me asking
are you of russian decent?
10:07 pm Me
Of course I don’t mind! Yes, I am of Russian decent.
10:08 pm James
ok
10:08 pm Me
Um, why do you ask…?
10:08 pm James
just curious
10:08 pm Me
Alrighty then!
10:09 pm James
i have nothing against russians just a bad experience with most females of that country
10:10 pm Me
Oh no. What kind of bad experience?
10:11 pm James
just that i would meet them on internet and they think i am on here for serious relationship and ask for money to be with me
10:12 pm Me
I see. But how could you be together anyways, if you were on the internet? And they were in Russia?
10:13 pm James
thats what the asking of money is for
10:13 pm Me
Like you would GO to Russia and give them money?!?
10:13 pm James
have you heard of western union?
10:15 pm Me
Yes I have! So you were supposed to give them money and then they would, like, fly here to meet you or something?
10:15 pm James
yes
10:15 pm Me
That’s whack, James.
10:15 pm James
i know
10:16 pm Me
Wow.
10:16 pm James
i dont mind being friends with people of different cultures
10:16 pm Me
Right.
10:16 pm James
but to ask someone on internet for money just for a relationship is out of my league
10:17 pm Me
I have to agree with you there. The best relationships usually aren’t based on an upfront monetary exchange.
10:18 pm James
yea
10:19 pm Me
That seems like a very specific problem though, that you shouldn’t necessarily apply to all Russian women you meet.
10:19 pm James
i am not
there was couple american females in other countries asking for money of me
10:20 pm Me
Whoa!
10:20 pm James
yea
10:21 pm Me
See, it’s not just us Russians!
10:21 pm James
i am aware
its just that its been mostly russians thats been asking
10:21 pm Me
Is there some way you can, like, avoid continually getting into these kinds of situations…?
10:22 pm James
other than not being on line?
there could be
10:23 pm Me
Well, I have to admit, I am online often enough, yet have not run in to this particular issue.
10:23 pm James
but you probably had someone say that they thought you were lovely
10:24 pm Me
Nope. Uh uh.
But can I ask you one question?
10:24 pm James
sure
10:25 pm Me
Why exactly are we friends on Facebook?
10:25 pm James
not sure
maybe i like meeting new people from different areas of the world
10:25 pm Me
that makes sense
