Facts on Russia:


Who are male scammers?


We often talk a lot about female scammers. These ladies meet men in the Internet and start telling stories about being so poor and needing so much!… Mother is gonna have an operation, father needs a new wheelchair, sister cannot continue her education and brother is desperate to start his own business (of course in a year it is going to grow up and you are certain to have your interests, trust her!), and she… she is modest and needs nothing, perhaps, except… payment for using Internet, translator service, visa, plane ticket…  

Let alone those noble men who are ready to give money to such girls until they suddenly disappear without “thanks”! A sad story, indeed.


Let’s talk about male scammers. Both women and marriage agencies are scared of them. Therefore, they are as numerous as female scammers. The difference is that women tend to get money but men… their goals are different. We are going to tell you about some of the types we have divided them into. Hope you are not one of them ?! :-)


1. “Arlekinos and Don Juans”.

Like having fun! They pretend looking for their “one in the world lady” and write letters to women living in different parts of the world. They have the image of passionate lovers. But having fun can also be tiresome and one day our Arlekino removes his mask, turns off the PC and goes on living his usual life. And his unlucky poor “sweetheart” keeps thinking the Internet is a “complete deceit!”


2. “Sexual maniacs”.

No, they are not like serial murderers from Hollywood movies. As a rule, they are old bachelors who have successfully escaped women wishing to marry them. They’ve been singing praises to freedom and sex. Finally they got old and realized that no woman in the world needs them anymore. They have money and think it is an excellent means of making the most beautiful girls in the world willingly fulfill all their desires. Well, they can find someone… wishing to move abroad by all means. Of course they are not going to “fulfill all man’s desires” but simply take his money and their surnames can often be seen in criminal lists. That inspires various lawyers to make projects aimed against marriage agencies…  


3. “Crazy”.

The most dangerous type. Can be detected too late and is always unpredictable. “Crazies” may have serious intentions, long correspondence and meet their women personally. But suddenly they get mad and can do whatever they want.

As a rule, such men have weird jobs, like for example “leave-this-life-consultant”. In other words, their occupation seems strange for normal people but they got to do it for many years every day.  You never gonna guess when and how they can go off their head. Women put their lives at stake when meeting them.


4. “Dreamers”.

Dreaming is not harmful. But if you are over 50 and dream to find an 18-year-old virgin from Russia…  

Don’t get surprised, it is very common. One of our former clients said, “I don’t have much to live and want to spend my time with a young and beautiful wife from Russia.” (The quotation is approximate). Well, he was lucky to find the one who really loves him. But who can guarantee a good marriage to people with the age difference of more than 30 years???? Me? Nope.  

I guess these aged men understand everything pretty well and when joining the agency they say their age is around 40:). When starting correspondence they specify incidentally they are almost 50. At last they come to Russia, girls see their passports and… need an ambulance! “He is older than my father!!!”  Such men are not less dangerous than all others we are telling about here because they deceive women from the very beginning, hurt their feelings in the end and make them waste time. You know, for some women it may be crucial…


5. “Married men”

Two subtypes: 1. They are not going to divorce. Perhaps they are scared. Their wives make their lives unbearable and they find women through the Internet to live with them in a virtual world.

2. They were brave enough to leave their wives but got no official divorce. (By the way, they are overwhelming majority. You are one of them? No???)

Women already see themselves WIVES: letters and meetings are wonderful but suddenly a poor woman finds out that he is going to be divorced in a year, not earlier… She asks us, “How could he do it with me? Why didn’t he tell me at once? It’s wrong!!!” What can I tell them? And if they knew they couldn’t start getting a visa while their men are still married… awful.  Besides, a woman is lucky if after divorce her man still has a good income. Otherwise, she is not going to get a fiancée visa…  


6. “Alfonces”.

They can be easily detected if to consider the way they are planning their trip to Russia. They can simply take a 3-4 hour flight by “Lufthansa” but no! It takes them a week to get here by numerous cars, buses, trains and buses again… They are not going to stay in hotels, but in their women’s apartments.  Oh, by the way, the time of their staying can be long indeed:). Well, it depends on a woman’s patience. They never give money for food but make use of our Russian hospitality and live in clover:). If we ask them what they are doing they are certain to mumble something about free artists. As a present they can take a plane iron bangle bought on a sale. Once their women’s patience is over they tend to angrily sparkle with their eyes and say, “Well, well, another one failed to understand me…”


In fact, all these types can well fit the third one – Crazy :-)) Hope you realize the division I offered is very conditional and maybe I missed some thing.

There are plenty of such men over the Internet and the only way out is common sense and high regular fee for the agency services. That’s why we always take payments for membership. It’s a kind of guarantee that men are real and seriously intended.


Why calling all of them scammers? Indeed, they don’t want to earn money this way but they play with feelings and deceive women who trust them.  


Hope you don’t know them personally? :-)

Hi - so sad... yet so easy to be overtaken when you're wishing to find love. I was being lured in - and to this day I want to believe ... he's for real. I felt him to be my Prince Charming. Scammers don't realize - what goes around comes around. The consequences of their deceptions have implications on their very soul. My scammer is the most handsome (I wonder who that handsome soldier in Iraq really is, haha - I'm hooked on that man). My scammer called a couple of times. He sounded Russian AND truly, after logging a few weeks of email chat for many hours on hours I found him to be the most wonderful person, with a strength of inner being that was a joy to me. (and I am a woman of advanced years with a number of marriages under my belt)..I know a man of such depth and love is hard to find.



It's most painful because I know I won't meet anyone so tender and sweet as that again. Yet his inner sweetness is overtaken by his outward deception. Sometimes I still wonder if I am wrong about him - maybe it's my doubt. He often referred to my lack of trust. Very much wanted to be married - what a life we'd have made together, haha. ANYWAY: beware of Iraq soldier scam. I have a tatoo on my breast with my intended's name. but I now dedicate it to all the soldiers who've dedicated their lives and service for us. This guy was Joe (now I think my tatoo is GI Joe.
Author's answer: Dear Dolores,

Not only men, but women also should be aware of scammers who multiply
nowadays. Especially if he or she sounds so sweet and seems to be your
perfect match. You feel yourself on the seventh heaven of delight and our ideals use this to fool you. Trust should be deserved and there should be actions from men which can prove it.

hi..it's my first time in this site. I joined this website date in asia. I met a certain "idris c". we chatted and said he's from uk has a very good business, jewelry business..and all of a sudden he said he wants me to be his wife by end of the year. and he will send me jewelries from his import business and a great deal of money in a luggage. so i gave him my address and phone no and he will send it by tuesday, and the courier would call me about the luggage. And 3 days after, the courier did call me and the luggage is in kuala lumpur & the customs officer needs 500 dollars for him to get out luggage of malaysia. I called up idris...i don't have that much money as i'm just a poor girl w/ a very simple job...he said shit. & he didn't called anymore. I knew that time these guys are scammers. & i just thought, who would send a box jewelries in a box to a person they've just met. Luckily, i had the presence of mind not to send the money, even if i have it.

thanks..
Author's answer: Dear Lyn,

Indeed scammers thaink that they are cleverer than others and can outwit them playing on people's natural yearning for freebies. Your presence of mind really helped you not to forget the old wise saying nothing can be get without making any efforts.

Hello. I must say I do like your site.
I am no newbee to this internet dating ,i have been scammed before and know that experience!
it is true, both the men and women do get hit by scammers of different sorts.
it can cause much heartache and frustration knowing that you have wasted so much time on a dead end road!
the most important thing is to not give up!

I have not given up! And actually have been emailing a wonderful Ukrainian woman for several months now ,although the holidays have slowed things down a bit.

it has been quite an experience for me, i have been looking at all the sites ,to me it was like following the trail of bread crumbs to this site ,and to my delight....there she is!!

I will be signing up with you shortly and wish to continue correspondence with her. that is ...if she has not given up on me!
I have been getting my passport together and plan on a trip to Nikolaev in the near future and am hoping she will still wish to meet me.
I have a feeling that maybe she thought I wasn't for real but, I am!
Like I said...I haven't given up and neither should you!
if you want to succeed in life you have to keep on trying!!

so to all ,I wish the best of luck in your search for happiness!

Talk to you soon Ekaterina! :)

sincerely Scott

can you help me i think i have fallen for an internetscamm this girkls been emailing for the past couple of months then she comes out qwith thing that she loves me and wants to come to englandbut the cost of the trip is 1200 for the wholelot a stay in moscow of waiting for visa for 9 day of 800 plus thetrip to england of 500 which i have topay for
Author's answer: Dear Mark,

You are absolutely right you have met a scammer. It is difficult for an unmarried lady to get visa to England, of course there is a chance to come to the country buying a tour in a travel agency.
I strongly recommend you not to send money.
Honest and sincere women prefer meeting in their territory I mean in their country as it is easy for a foreign man to come to Russia.

Good question and correct answer, it is easy to be scamed if your truly seeking a partner, either female or male; however it is interesting that about 65% of singles USA are online dating and have similar expereicnes of deception or unturths, hang in there. Sister Teresa's advice and written on the wall of the children's home in Calcutta, "If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;Be honest and frank anyway."
Author's answer: Hello Anthony!

All this proves once again that no one can feel 100% safe from deceit nowadays no matter where you live. It's necessary to be cautious. As we usually say: "Trust but check". It isn't worth judging all people in the same way when you have come across scammers. There are a lot of really decent and nice people who are searching on line for a soul mate. Simple everyone should be ready that he may face some unpleasant experience but be strong enough not to be disappointed and continue his search after that.

I have been writing to a girl in russia for about five weeks and she has told me her chief has given her a holiday. She is excited and applied for a visa. It cost her $335 USD and she has told me her flight is going to cost $1169 USD. She tells me that she has paid $855 USD but is short $314 USD. She has asked me to deposit this amount in her account by Western Union. I refused and said I would only pay direct to the travel agency. She again insists she has 2 pay this amount and only has a few days left to pay. I then tell her that she is entitled to a refund and I can buy her ticket from England for cheaper and said that she can transfer the money to my account if she likes. She still is desperate for me to send this money to her account but I have a good feeling that this is a scam. Please could you give me some pointers as I wrote back to her saying that I think that this is a scam. Thank you
Author's answer: Hello Ian,

I fully agree with you!
It looks like scam.
To receive a visa to England is a bit easier than to America and it could look believable but for the cost of the tickets (it is possible to fly to the US for this money). And it also looks strange that she paid for the most part of the ticket already and left the least part for you. It is a trick not to cause doubts in a man - a classical method of cheating.
Stand your ground - this is my advice.
