Avoiding the Pitfalls of Russian Dating Fraud

Most men agree that Russian women are some of the most attractive in the world, up there with the best of nations such as Brazil, Venezuela and Romania. But, is finding a beautiful Russian who is honest and legitimate, and who wishes to marry a Westerner a real option anymore? Fortunately, the answer to that question is still Yes. Finding those quality women, however, is an increasingly difficult task in today’s Internet marketplace.

The best option for finding a Russian bride is to travel to Russia, explore and travel the country, get to know the culture and feel for the language, and take care of business the old fasioned way - that’s right, walk right up and talk to her. If she doesn’t speak English, you’re on to the next. If traveling to Russia is out of the question, for financial or other reasons, finding a beautiful Russian bride is still possible, but requires additional caution.

Searching Google or Yahoo for Russian women will quickly uncover thousands of sites such as Date Russian Brides.com or Single Brides.com and many others. How do you know which is legit? You don’t. No dating site on the Internet is immune from fraud and international scam, not one. This knowledge alone can save the customer a lot of time, money and heartache.

The warning signs:

1. A woman who falls in love quickly, too quickly.

2. A woman with model like photos, like out of a magazine.

3. A woman who soon asks for money for visa or “emergencies”.

4. A woman who writes very general, almost form-like letters.

5. A woman who never speaks about herself or her family.

Now that you’re aware of the warning signs and you understand that fraud and scams from Eastern Europe are rapidly rising, you’re on the right track. But, what if the relationship progresses and you’re considering a serious committment? Get her checked out with a professional investigation from Wymoo. You’ve been talking with this woman for 6 months, and you trust her, you say. Too many victims have said the same, and still lost big. How does it happen? In short, the scammers are professionals.

More than ever… be skeptical and get her checked out!

Best of luck,

There are many errors and oversights that a man can make when trying to court a Russian woman. It is only natural to slip up in the beginning; there are big cultural differences, and it is a foreign situation.

Keep messing up, though, and you will find that you are wasting a lot of both time and money.

These mistakes are in no particular order, and they are all of equal importance.

Top Mistakes That Men Make In Russian Dating: Part Two:

7. Projecting The Attitude That She Jumping At The Chance To Marry You. If you are attentive and kind, she may be interested. If you are rude and arrogant, she will not be. Do not act as if you are better than her. A Russian woman is not desperate. Besides that, why would you be interested in somebody who is only interested in you because she is in the pursuit of a better life, anyway?

8. Thinking That She Will Be Your Trophy Wife. Russian women are not docile creatures. They grew up in different conditions and have had to endure a lot. Many are very independent and strong, and have made a lot of hard decisions in the past. They have dealt with drunkard husbands and boyfriends who refuse to make family life easy, or who do not think twice in finding a mistress. It is almost impossible to control a Russian woman, so do not try.

9. You Are Not Serious. Generally, women will wait 4-6 months for you to decide that you are coming to visit her. If you do not come to the FSU (Former Soviet Union) in a few months after that, she will move on to somebody who she does deem as serious. Generally, 8-10 months is the absolute longest time that a woman will write to you before she gives up. It is important for you to get there because she cannot ever her visa if you do not come, and she needs to make sure that you two are able to click in person as well. Make sure that you are ready emotionally, financially, and physically.

10. There Is A Large Age Gap Between You And Her. Sure, some men have success when there is a 20-year or more age difference. Some men also win the lottery. Granted, Russian women do grow up a lot quicker than their western counterparts, so a 10-15 year age difference may very well work. Anything more than 20 years is pushing it, though. You will likely not have as much in common and the activities that you would want to do would probably be different as well.

11. You Are Not Consistent. If you are not regular and reliable when writing her letters, she will likely want to cut communications with you. If you tell her that you want to visit her, but then have a change of heart, and then re-change your mind, again, she will likely stop talking to you. Many of these women are serious and do not want to waste their time.

12. Your Introduction Letter Does Not Grab Her Attention. There is a lot to be said on this topic, but for now, a quick rundown. Russian women do not want pen pals, first of all, so you need to make sure that you explain your intent. Letters with photos have staggeringly better response rates, so make sure that you include one in your first letter. You can also ask for a response, even if she is not interested. She just may write back. Another good idea is to have your letters translated. Despite how good her English may be, there are huge chances of miscommunications. If you get your letter translated, she will be able to understand the entire thing, would be grateful, and would most likely respond to you.

13. You Do Not See Your Relationship As Being An Equal Partnership. Much like with all women, Russian women want and need to be treated with respect. If you are not willing to view your relationship as a partnership, then you should consider remaining single. To reiterate #7, these women are not desperate, and will not run to marry you just because you are from America.

14. Not Taking This Article Seriously. Russian women are very reserved about their feelings; do not just assume that everything is okay because she is not telling you otherwise.

When I got home, I began a marketing campaign to meet more Russian women. I did a thoughtful search of the Internet sites and selected about eighty women to send my ‘marketing package’ to.

Again, I was honest in my introductory letter. Of course, I put as positive of a spin on things as I could. After all it was a marketing letter. But I was honest.

I wanted to meet a woman who wanted to meet me — not someone she thought I was. The results were amazing. Soon, I was corresponding regularly with sixteen women at the same time!

Over the next few months, I was able to narrow the group down to five women that I arranged to meet over a two-week world wind tour of Eastern Europe.

I flew to Moscow, from there, south to Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad), from there, west to Kiev, Ukraine. My next stop was Minsk, Belarus, north of Kiev, and finally St. Petersburg and back to Moscow.

In each city I was meeting a stunningly beautiful, educated, charming woman. After two or three days, I was on to meet the next. My trip was something that I will never forget!

In Belarus, I met the woman of my dreams. It was obvious from the letters I had received from her that she was my number one prospect. From the instant I met her, I knew she was ‘the one.’

The days I spent with her were the best days of my life! If you ever see pictures of us during that time, we look like love sick puppies. Its obvious from the photos that we were head over heels in love with each other.

I arranged to bring her to the United States under a fiancé visa. It took nine nerve-wracking months and everything that could go wrong, went wrong. But finally she made it here.

We got married and now we have a beautiful little girl. Everything happened quickly. It required quite an adjustment for the both of us. Five years later, we are very happy together.

If your goal is to meet a woman you can cherish, with whom you can spend the rest of your life in happiness, then a Russian woman may be the right choice for you.

In return she will honor you for who you are — a loving and devoted husband. It is the way married life was intended. And it is a worthy goal to strive for and reach.

It is a law of nature that you will likely achieve what you think about and what you set your mind to, so it is important that you define your goals properly.

The Russian women you will meet will be educated, cultured women of good character coming from strong families. They are very feminine and take pride in being well dressed.

As a group, they are the most beautiful women in the world. Go. See for yourself. Don’t take my word for it.

What they are looking for is a man with whom they can form a family. They want most of all to find a compatible mate and share a strong family life together. For a lot of reasons they have not been able to find that in their own country.

If it requires them to move to another country, learn another language; leave their family and friends behind, so be it, if they find that ideal mate. To take that kind of chance takes a very courageous person with a lot of initiative.

For a Russian woman, the difference between being single and married is like night and day. In Russian culture, the status of single women is rather low.

A Russian woman is not considered someone respectable unless she is married. Her degree of respectability is measured by the social status of her husband. Right or wrong, that is the situation. More importantly, this is the context that Russian women operate from.

So for a Russian woman, getting and staying married is important as a goal in itself.

The main reason why a man should seek a Russian wife is because of her level of commitment to marriage. The one thing that differentiates Russian women from Western women most is perhaps their overwhelming desire to get and stay married.
