Alien Email Scam... beware!

Hello!
My name is Pavel, I live in Perm, Russia.
I has found your address from Internet. In library I searched for
something about UFO, have decided to look in Internet. I looked through
sites and has decided to address to you, my be you can help me.
First of all I shall tell what has taken place.
August, 23 I and my father went to Ekaterinburg from Perm by the car
and by way we have come to forest for mushrooms. It was on a road from
Perm to Ekaterinburg, between Suksun and Shamary, near to Molebka. And so
in a forest, about 2,5 km from a road, on one of glades we have noticed
strange black stains, their origin was not clear. In one place we have
found a metal object which was on the ground, then we saw that it was
only top part of it. It was very strange, not similar on anything. We
have dug it out, when we cleared it of a dirty in water, we were struck -
it not sink in water. We have taken it to home. It is made of metal. We
have tried again to lower it in water - it not sink, keeps on a
surface. Father has told me it can not be. Externally it looks as two
cylinders, one in the another with disks on each side. Tried to disassemble -
nothing it has turned out. On disks there are figures. On top it is
similar to letter Z. On the bottom 6 points as a square 3x3. And when you
touch it, it instantly becomes warm.What is it, I do not know.
All my family, relatives and I live in these places all life. There are
strange things always here. Many strange and interesting stories the
great-grandmother and the grandmother told me. My brothers live in a
forest in small village, they very often tell me about luminous disks
flying in the sky. I saw UFO many times, in different places. I saw UFO many
times, in different places. I think this subject was left by UFO. What
is it, and what to do with it, I do not know.
It is very interesting to me, somebody found the same objects? What you
can tell about it?
I want to give this object to somebody for research, I think that for
this purpose necessary knowledge and special equipment, but we have not
this and I have no time to be engaged in this, I work since morning
till night.
Can you help me? Tell me please, can I give this object to you for
further research. I have only one condition - you will told me that you
have learned about it after research.
Sorry, if I have disturbed you.
In any case - thank you!
Yours faithfully,
Pavel



I repeat... this is a scam!

Sounds like a scam. How do you know for sure?

So wha do you think they are trying to gain? It is obvious that at face value the email is not asking for any kind of financing or sale. Do you suggest that after personal contact has been struck, the Russian will offer the "subject" only as a sale transaction?

I mean, yeah... yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah!

I followed through... After being strung along the money request came for over $200 to ship it.
when I offered to pay the company directly I never heard from them again.
It was an elaborate story though.
They even had the symbols on the device changing like a countdown.

Incidently, I was curious but cautious from the beginning.
After finding nothing on snopes, I decided to follow it up myself.
If it was a scam.. people needed to know.
If it was legit... well hell,.... that would have been a once in a million lifetimes opportunity, and I knew I could get help with the research.
A big part of me was very saddened at the confirmation that they were only after money.

Good to be cautious.. sounds like one of those Nigerian 4-1-9 scams

The object you found, my russian friend, is a biological weapon dropped throughout your land during the start of the cold war. If indeed you have touched one of these, i recommend that you write your will. Within the next year, you will experience extreme migranes, followed by detereration and slothing of the flesh. I suggest end your own life now to escape an unevitable, horrid slow death. did your mother ever tell you not to pick up everything you find?

Screw the artificat send me hot russian brides
