Beware of Russian bride scams
Posted: 6/7/2006 10:45:30 AM
So what is wrong with women right here in North America? I find it odd that men who are surrounded by millions of single women here find a need to contact women in Russia or Africa, who because of extreme poverty, or deplorable social conditions want a better life, sometimes even including "submissive" in their profiles. I saw a movie about this, and it portrayed the two Americans looking for wives in Russia as hillbillies that any women in their own country would avoid like a dead skunk. Does this mean that our liberated sisters in North America are a little too independent to put up with being abused or controlled by men who want a submissive wife, I think there's a lot more going on than meets the eye.

I have had about 30 of these types of mail.

They just go in the bin when I get them !

I must admit, I thought that some of them were looking for an eady way into the country by marying a UK man...

Just goes to show, There will allways be people ready to exploit the broken hearted !

It's not just Russia but also Nigeria, China, Fillipines, Vietnam, Italy... and the list goes on, the same for women as men. I can't imagine why you guys(and galls) need to look for women (or men) in other countries when there are so many beautiful and intelligent people right here, you just have to find them. It takes some searching and patience but
you will find the special one. Don't get fooled by the declarations of love, they just want visas to this country. I came to this country in my own (I too lived in Russia and in Poland), worked many jobs before starting my own business and made it here through the school of hard knocks, left a good career behind and struggled with new language and culture but did it without sugar daddy so if they want the same, they should try on their own. If they just wanted love, they would find it in their own countries. They just want an
easy ride.

I had fun with a scammer asking me for my banking information. She said she was imprisioned in a camp and not allowed to access $3.7 million of her father's money and I had to transfer it through my account. I replied by saying that I had wonderful news!!! My uncle is a high ranking officer in the Canadian military and that within 3 days, he would pinpoint thier location by IP address and they would liberate the camp and bring the nasty captors to justice!!! P.S. When you hear the snipers, DUCK!!!

Yeah a mate of mine had an experience with this. Though thankfully he didn't fall into the trap. Cuz there was something about the E-Mail (That he refused to let me read) that rang a bell with him. If anything she fell into his trap cuz once he realised that she was a scammer, he sent back a message saying I'm onto your scam.

It's just sad that they take advantage of lonely people.

I had something similar happen on another site. She wasn't from Russia, but said she was in some other country as a model. Anyway, she wanted my address so she could send me a check to have me cash it and wire her the money. The whole thing was odd, so I asked her why she couldn't contact the US Embassy and have them help her. When she said they wouldn't see her even though she was a US citizen stuck in another country, I got even more curious. Besides, wouldn't the company who she models for take her back here?? LOL

I feel bad for the guys who really fall for this. I can only imagine how much money they actually lose. I only lost time reading the e-mails.

Moonsister Not all men looking for wives from other countries are looking for submissive types.
I met 2 ladies from a foreign site I was on a few years ago, who I still corespond with regularly.
After being out of the dating loop for 22 years, I was shocked so to speak at the attitudes of the first 3 NA Ladies I met through the internet, vindictive, bitter and men hating said it all. Now with hindsight, I realize I was looking for the wrong type, on the wrong sites.
Never the less I started to think this was the attitude of most NA woman. Was completely wrong I know now, it was my own lack of skill in being able to read the profiles better and write my own properly that drew the wrong type to me.
There were a lot of scammers on the foreign sites, but did meet 2 very nice ladies . 1 has since married a New Zealander. They are quite happy and I still correspond with both her and her husband. The scammers are quite easyto spot usually.
You know, there are scammers here and North Americans are just as bad. Almost every Lady I have talked to has at some time had some married man/ liar about job/ etc, contact them, thank you.

hello My brother is emailing a girl in Ukraine and she sends him really sexy pictures of herself and I noticed a wester union letter for him this week. He keeps saying what does she see in me and he is planning to bring her over in September. I am worried sick because this is my house and he lives in basement. I have tried to tell him to be careful and he gets mad at me. As far as I know he is going to send her $1000.00 for plane fare. Is this the scam. He lost his wife four years ago and he keeps saying this girl reminds him of her. How do I get through to him.?

So what happens if he sends money to one of these women. Does she show up or just take his money. I dont want her here and I dont know what he is telling her. He is already to bring her here and marry her. I am so worried. If he wants to do that kind of thing it is fine. I went on that web site . Russian brides . How much do you know about that web site. Ilooked on it. Is it all a fake??

Point by point


So what is wrong with women right here in North America? I find it odd that men who are surrounded by millions of single women here find a need to contact women in Russia or Africa,
======================================
They are surrounded by millions of single manhaters who somehow think that treating ni66ers like you treat dogs is racist but treating your man like you treat your dog is normal.
THATS what is absoloutely, totally, wrong with North American women. They moan that they don't get respect from their men but they treat those men with nothing but contempt.
======================================

who because of extreme poverty, or deplorable social conditions want a better life, sometimes even including "submissive" in their profiles. I saw a movie about this, and it portrayed
========================================
Thats right! Movie!!! As in fiction. As in not fact. As in it PORTAYED American men as hillbillies. As in it can portray them any damn way it likes. I'll remind you that American men have led the space race in the last two decades with Rusian MEN a close second.
=================================

the two Americans looking for wives in Russia as hillbillies that any women in their own country would avoid like a dead skunk.
===============================
Refer to my initial point about sexism and man hating.
You know as well as I do that you would be throwing a tanturm like a baby if I ever described an American woman as "to be avoided like a dead skunk" no matter how much she deserved that description.
===================================

Does this mean that our liberated sisters in North America are a little too independent
===================================
Independet!!! Get out of it! The car stops, you pop the bonnet and still sit down and wait for a man. Not a mechanic. A man.
====================================

to put up with being abused or controlled by men
=================================
Once again refer to the whole "Treat your man like you treat your dog" attitude that American women trash rags are absoloutely reeking with.

Russian women arent submissive. They just don't treat their men like dirt. The fifty percet of American wives who are happily married dont treat their men like dirt either and don't regard these Russian brides as a threat either.

The only women who do see them as a threat are the man bashers that any real men would avoid like a dead skunk. Those women who dont deserve a man. Not even the kind of man that all other women would avoid "like a dead skunk".





I think there's a lot more going on than meets the eye.

Oh by the way getting off the subject for a sec, does anybody know how to delete a post that you put on. I want to delete my two posts, since my brother is also on this plenty of fish site and I dont want him to see my posts until I can absolutely get him to believe this is a fake. He told bits of it, he is so excited over this woman. He has web cam and so does she and he says she is hot. I dont want him to get hurt, also if it is real I dont want her here in my house anyway. Dont know her either does he. help help

You know there is nothing I can see that's wrong with them . They just don't want to meet and go out or won't go out for this reason or that. It's really the same as just looking at a magazine and looking forever. Believe me I know I have proof.
