Email scams are probably the most prevalent method of Russian scammers. An email scam is simply a case where some volume operation (could be a man or a woman, and may be in Russia, Ukraine, Nigeria, or New Jersey) contacts you by email, engages you in communication, and eventually attempts to bait you into sending money.

At some point u will get an urgent plea for money... "My grandmother has taken ill, expensive medicine, bla bla". OR, "I need money for internet bills to be able to keep talking to you." OR "I feel we should meet, can you send me the money to buy the air ticket." The moment the money is sent by you, you lose the love and the promise.
