Who are these Russian scam brides? They are a small group of people (they may not be even women) earning money this way on the Internet. They view relationships as more of a business enterprise. They send emails to all available singles through dating services. Just like email spamming, they search for their victims and follow the rules of the game they play.

How can Russian scam brides be recognized?
Here are the top 4 early signs of scam.

• The letters a man receives are not specific. They tend to be generalized, not answering the exact needs of the given man. Direct questions about personal life are usually avoided, just some ready pieces of information.
  Sidenote: Ask the girl for personal information and see her reaction.



• Scammers play to man's instincts, to whatever he wants to hear and see: beautiful model quality appearance (usually false), sexy photos, "special love" they mention after a few letters... If a given man considers this speed strange, it is. Until you met in person, any claims of love should be suspect.
  Sidenote: Ask for more photos that are not studio made.



• The majority of scams involve money. The so called Russianwoman usually asks for financial support: terrible financial situation, telephone fees, Internet expenses, etc. Scammers are always mercenary, they usually look for the man's sympathy, for "what you can buy for me" (it is their job!).
  Sidenote: Never send money to strangers.



• Close attention should be paid to the huge age difference. In this case the chances of being scammed only increase. For the sake of justice it should be said that some real good girls are attracted by the older men (security, stability). However, it is not surprising that Russian scam brides are likely to be involved with much older men.

Here is the other side of the coin: 99,9% of pretty Russian girls are actual, REAL. They want to find love and build a family in spite of unfavorable demographic situation in Russia. The rewards of finding a suitable Russianwoman outweigh the risks.
