Dear Gentlemen!
Having developed Anti-Scam program we intend to warn you about phenomenon of International dating scam and will do our best try to help you to avoid scamming. We are planning to have black lists of dishonest marriage agencies and known and suspected Russian-women scammers, as well as give you useful information and possible advice how to avoid being scammed.
- All marriage agencies that are in the field of Russian women dating, international introduction, or mail order brides agencies suffer from scammers. This phenomenon as such discredits the whole sphere of Internet Introduction. While scams are a real concern in the pursuit of a foreign bride, you should know, that the vast majority of Russian women are honest and sincere.Unfortunately, a much smaller number of determined scammers give an undeserved reputation to all the rest.
- Foreign men who want to find a Russian bride become more and more suspicious towards Russian women and women from other countries of the former Soviet Union Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Kazakhstan), and many foreign men just do not believe that there are nice and sincere Russian girls looking for their soul mates after they have had negative experience with scammers.
Any honest marriage agency may have problems because of scammers. In an honest marriage agency when a woman comes to register at the local dating agency office, managers should ask for woman's passport, and check woman's first and last name, age, date of birth, marital status and whether she has children. But it is the only information they receive. Further on, when a woman starts writing letters and receives responses from men, the marriage agency personnel (translators and operators) follow ANY requests about money. If they see such a request (exception: money for traveling purposes if you offer a lady to meet with you in another city you proposed; often it is very difficult for a lady to cover travel expenses) – they should remove woman's profile from the agency database.
If a lady comes to a marriage agency she is supposed to be initially interested in moving abroad and searching for a husband there. What her reasons are - she will never tell you or us, she will just say that she is interested in meeting a lifetime partner no matter where he lives. Often, it is truly so - she hasn't found anyone here and tries the opportunity to meet a foreigner. If you ask why she can't find a man here - answer the question why you can't find a woman in your town/country?
