Looks like an online dating scam - My name is lidan, i'm 29 y.o. woman, my zodiac sign is Aquarius

Whilst editing a post on http://en.gimeney.net/ a few women looked at my profile and I had a wink from one and this e-mail from Lidan. I suspected that it was a scam and it would seem that I was right as both the profile, letter and who has looked at my profile when I went back to the site today. Someone must have complained

If it is an independent scammer the photos could be stolen. If it is an agency they could be genuine, but you do not know if you are writing to the girl of a translator

Scenario - Probably the scammer (more than likely a male) is following the visitors as they come on line, having posted the profile with some photos of a lady too good to be true in advance. When a mark appears he sends them a message similar to the one above. It could be an individual or an agency looking to find victims for their translation services! Even on the free dating sites you must be wary, but on Gimeney they do not stand any nonsence from scammers. Having fallen for the uadreams.com translating operation I am very very wary and in any case after this very bad experience would not engage in a long distance relationship again.

I believe the following profiles will try to bait members here to sign up with http://www.uadreams.com:

My name is Alena, i'm 20 y.o. woman, my zodiac sign is Gemini.
Athletic build; height: 165 cm. (5' 4" ; weight: 43 kg. (94 lbs.);
My native language is Russian, but i also speak English and Ukrainian.

My name is IAna, i'm 19 y.o. woman, my zodiac sign is Aquarius.
Athletic build; height: 163 cm. (5' 4" ; weight: 50 kg. (110 lbs.);
My native language is Ukrainian, but i also speak English, Polish and Russian.

I can confirm from personal experience that Alena told me that her English wasn't so good and for ease of translation she wanted to send me a link to another site where she was a member, which would facilitate communication for her. Turned out I received an invitation to UA Dreams. But...at least the English language communication I received from her on UA Dreams is much better.

As for Iana, I noticed her profile on UA Dreams, too, and when questioning her on Gimeney as to her presence on UA Dreams of course I did not receive a reply.

UA Dreams tries to get its members to pay for outgoing correspondence, receiving pictures from ladies, video chat etc. I have little confidence in whether or not the correspondence is actually with the ladies or with some translator only. They tend to sandbag you when proposing Skype or other means of communication. That much I discovered with the three or five free letters they allow new members.

PROMOTIONS STILL ON-GOING:

How many relationships are broken by 3rd parties? "Persuasion"

More than seven years prior to the events in the novel, Anne Elliot falls in love with a handsome young naval officer named Frederick Wentworth, who is intelligent and ambitious, but poor. Sir Walter, Anne's father and lord of the family estate of Kellynch, and her older sister Elizabeth are dissatisfied with her choice, maintaining that he is not distinguished enough for their family. Her older friend and mentor, Lady Russell, acting in place of Anne's deceased mother, persuades her to break off the match.

Now, aged 27 and still unmarried, Anne re-encounters her former fiancé when his sister and brother-in-law, the Crofts, take out a lease on Kellynch. Wentworth, now a captain, is wealthy from wartime victories in the Royal Navy and from prize-money for capturing enemy ships. However, he has not forgiven Anne for her rejection of him.

The self-interested machinations of Anne's father, her older sister Elizabeth, Elizabeth's friend Mrs. Clay, and William Elliot (Anne's cousin and her father's heir) constitute important subplots.

Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday 29 June 2010


Weekly HoroscopesHoroscopes
Saturday 5 June - Saturday 12 June - Saturday 19 June - Saturday 26 June

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You have great insight into other people's motives. This gives you an edge in negotiations. Take this opportunity to carve out a comfortable niche. Getting your own office is within your grasp. This will cause your peers to gossip, as they haven't been afforded the same privileges. Let them talk. You need privacy to operate effectively. If there's anything you hate, it's having some nitpicker look over your shoulder while you work. Stick to your guns; your persistence will pay off.

.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Emotions are very close to the surface and you won't be able to contain your anger at a member of the opposite sex. They have offended you with their crass comments and crude behaviour. The only way to put an end to this is to publicly confront them. This runs contrary to your reserved and understated way of doing things, but it has to be done. People like this get away with murder because they operate in the shadows. Shed a little light on the situation.

.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) You inspire confidence wherever you go. Taking the helm of an ambitious project will cause your star to rise. Remember there is a lot of work to be done between now and then. There won't be many rewards until you cross the finish line. Working in obscurity is never fun, but it will help you avoid interference from your superiors. So long as you don't draw attention to yourself, you'll be able to put creative touches on this endeavour that would otherwise be impossible.

.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Your reputation for being sympathetic and understanding makes you a popular figure. Someone who is undergoing a difficult time will seek your advice. Don't hesitate to deliver some painful truths, as the person in question needs to hear them. Fortunately, you will not be punished for your candour. On the contrary, you will be commended for your help and may be given access to an exclusive club or party as thanks. Steer clear of a small minded fellow worker who is trying to stir up trouble.

.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) It's important to remain detached when dealing with a sensitive matter. A relative who has taken advantage of your generosity needs to be confronted. In the past, you were very sympathetic to their plight. Now you realise their sob stories were just fiction. If you're going to avoid being manipulated, you need to set some firm personal boundaries. Stop giving them access to your home and property. Don't let them call at all hours of the night and don't fall victim to their guilt trips.

.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Your powers of discrimination serve you well. You know the difference between skim milk and cream, particularly when it comes to friends. If you sense somebody has made your acquaintance for opportunistic reasons, steer clear. You have better things to do with your time. People will be surprised by your aloof behaviour, but that's because they haven't detected this manipulator's true motives yet. Don't worry they'll soon find out the truth.

.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) You're a very popular figure, but have difficulty forming close relationships. It's because you're afraid to let down your guard with new acquaintances. Someone from your past betrayed your trust, and it's left a deep scar. Unfortunately, this has prevented you from enjoying the warmth and closeness of an intimate friendship. Drop your professional attitude with someone who has recently demonstrated kindness and compassion. Together, you will make a great team.

.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Putting on an aloof act prevents people from knowing how deeply you feel about certain matters. You're sick and tired of seeing one of your colleagues being bullied. Coming to their defence hasn't made any difference. In fact, it's only compounded the problem. Maybe it's time to bring the problem to your boss. If that's not an option, you need to find a healthier work environment. Look for a job involving education, travel, or publishing.

.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) If there's anything you hate; it's being on your own. Social pursuits make you feel alive and happy. If there's no party scheduled for this evening, invite some friends over for dinner and cards. You'll enjoy unwinding with your nearest and dearest. Money from a tax refund or inheritance helps you travel and see a little more of the world. Schedule a trip to visit a relative who lives a few towns away. The change of scenery will do you good. It may even inspire you to write a song or story.

.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You prize sincerity over all things. Someone who has proven their loyalty keeps rising in your esteem. It's possible you have developed romantic feelings for them. If that's the case, you need to make your desires known or you will suffer in silence when you could be deliriously happy. If you're already in relationship, try rekindling your passion for your amour. It's only a matter of returning to the early days of your courtship. Where there is a will, there's a way!

.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Having a mind like a steel trap will come in handy. Someone who underestimates your abilities will try to confuse you. By spelling things out for them in words of one syllable you can quickly and easily set the record straight. This isn't the best time to ask for a raise or promotion. You'll make better use of your time by focusing on a small, seemingly insignificant job. By doing this task without complaint, you'll attract the attention of someone who admires your work ethic.

.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) The last thing you want to do is attract attention. You're far more comfortable sitting on the sidelines than occupying the spotlight. What you may not realise is that your shy attitude acts like an aphrodisiac on an admirer. Don't be surprised when someone comes forward to confess their undying love. While this attention is flattering, you're not especially interested in embarking on an affair. You cherish your independence too much.
