Note: This info is meant for the men, who are serious about finding a Russian wife. It is not useful for the men, who are interested in Russian girls with some other goals.

Scammers are the girls, who have no interest in getting married to a foreigner. Their main intention is swindling money out of naive men. A scammer pretends that she is really interested in a man. She writes nice and affectionate letters. When a man comes to meet her, she behaves as if she is in love with him. But as only he sends her money (sometimes not only once), brings her gifts or buys her the things she wants, she disappears or breaks up with the man.

Most of the times it is quite easy to recognize a scammer. She writes back without any delaying and seems to be very interested in developing correspondence. In a couple of letters she may start showing her affection for a man, and in another couple of letters she may ask a man for money… But sometimes it is difficult to discover a scammer girl, as some of them are really skillful actresses. She may develop a relationship to a point of a marriage proposal… and then she may try to disappear with a ring. Men reading this article may ask what we shall do then? How can we figure out a scammer? Should we suspect all the girls submitted to the agency?

We will not retail stale news, if we state that the only way to avoid meeting with a scammer is not to be too naive. If you are a mature man and choose to write a girl in her early 20-ies or receive letters from a very young girl, be aware that she may have some other ideas on her mind, except sincere interest to your “outstanding” personality. If you are older than 45 years old, think twice before choosing a very young girl. Just think about it in a sober way, ask yourself: What do I have to attract a young girl? If I were in her shoes, a man like me would attract me?

A young girl may try to take advantages of old men. Thus, we are closing you to the thought that it is men, who provoke the appearance of scammers.

If some of the men were not so naive and stupid sending money to never-met persons, scammers would not probably ever show up. It was men, who showed the girls the ways of cheating money out of them. The girls listed in the marriage agencies are very different. They come to the agency by different reasons. Most of the girls do want to find a husband. Some of them join the agency because of curiosity; other ones go to the agency by chain reaction (because their friends did it) but few of them are mercenary-minded from the beginning. They become scammers in the processes of searching for a partner. If a girl is young and beautiful, she normally is contacted by many different men, some of the men may be much older her. The older ones quite often send girls money to attract their attention or compensate the age gap. Thus, a girl is showed that she can gain some profits from some of the men.
