It turned out Lina seemed  too normal to be a scammer and I thought I'd leave that one be. 
  
 I'm kind of guessing it had to happen... I used to  be on the website I used (no surpirises there) but I hadn't used it in more  months than I can be bothered to count. 
  
 So, it came as a surprise when I got a bite on a  dead account. My photo and everything (but we'll avoid posting that link ☺) 
  
 Here is what Katya said: 
  
 Hello my dear friend Kenny!
I very for a long time waited for this  moment and today, at last, I have received this long-awaited letter! I hope, we  shall easily find with you common language because me to not be suffered to  learn you closer. I want to learn about you as much as possible (if, certainly  there will be no objections of you): whether you have been married, whether  there are at you children? And it is far from being the list of questions on  which I would like to hear answers. All this is very important for me for the  reason that each letter from you will be important part ours, just the begun  relations. In letters the key to a solution of your private world is covered. I  should consider very seriously our correspondence, in fact a choice of the  future partner in life - put very much not idle time.  
Now, I think, it  is necessary to tell about myself a little: I was born 04.05.1978 years in a  small small town near to Saratov. But has lived there rather not for long - on  leaving school has acted in legal institute in the city of Saratov. After  institute work on a speciality to find it was not possible, it is very difficult  for making, because in our country it is a lot of lawyers. It was necessary to  be arranged with the seller of home appliances though, to tell the truth, I a  little, that in it understand and me constantly to have to consult at my  girlfriend. She works in the next department, and I am very grateful to her that  she has helped me to be arranged. Certainly, this not that work of which it  would be desirable to dream, but nevertheless I to her value - the profit on  this work is my unique income. The computer, to a huge regret, at me is not  present, and consequently I use the Internet of cafe. I do not have what certain  hobby because to be engaged something ser
 iously at me there is no  time, after work I strongly get tired, and domestic have put too suffices.  Sometimes in the days off we with the girlfriend visit pool. The love to water  has woken up in me in the deep childhood, father very much frequently drove me  on a small rivulet on which there is our small town, and taught me to float. But  he had not to teach for a long time me because already then I felt like in water  not less confidently, than on land. And now I very not bad swim, some times even  supported institute in city competitions on navigation. 
In the man I  appreciate, first of all, his private world. Appearance does not play for me any  value.
I think, that about yourselves you can make of my brief story small,  but nevertheless, conclusions concerning me and my character. And if I have  interested you, as the person and as the girl I with impatience shall look  forward to hearing from  you!
                                                  Katya.
  
 Decent enough, could be normal, could be cool, but  when I replied, two or three days late I got this: 
  
 Hello dear Kenny
You cannot present at all as I am glad to receive  your letter! I have checked up a mail before work, and all my colleagues all the  day long addressed with the same question: " That has taken place? Why you all  shining with happiness? ". And I allowed all the same answer: " Probably, soon I  shall become the happiest woman in the world! ". But I have not told him the  reason of my pleasure because very much I am afraid to maleficiate our only  begun relations. 
You liked my first letter? I very much liked your letter.  By your first letter, you the good person. I very much liked all that you in it  have written.
Why you have chosen me from set of the girls registered on a  site? What is the time you are in searches of the girl of your heart? I think  these questions enough for the second letter. I would like to ask you that you  did not hesitate and asked to me any questions on which you would like to hear  answers. And still, please, describe more in detail the character and that,  first of all, interests you in girls. 
Now again it is a little about me.  
I do not like arrogant, haughty and too self-confident people. Certainly,  should be self-assured, but not too. By the way speaking, I do not have not  enough confidence of. Probably it of that I very modest, vulnerable and trustful  girl. As to my attitude to relatives to me to people, I very gentle, tender,  devoted. Above all I do not like to argue and I try to concede, even when the  person not the rights, but it does not mean, that I so was easy for offending  that! When it is required, I can stand for myself. Now it is a little about my  hobbies. As you have guessed from my first letter, I very much like to float,  read books, to walk on fresh air. ! Very much a plenty of time, (practically  from work) I spend all free time on kitchen, behind preparation of various  dishes. My friends speak, that I perfectly prepare, I do not know so it whether  or not, (very much I hope), but I invest all soul in each dish prepared by  me.
With impatience I shall look forward to  hearing!
                                                    Sincerely yours Katya.
It all seems rather  eager, although I could be paranoid. But this much... after so short a time? Who  knows, but it's the only lead I have. 
  
 It seems curious that my "scamming" attempt should  come so close to someone replying to my dead account. 
  
 Insert your own cliche's here...
