Russian Dating Questions

are there any real agencys to help with a mail order bride?

most dating sites for russian women are a scam, how do you meet women that want to come to america and are for real

I would be very careful pursuing this method of matchmaking. First of all, most of the “women” you might meet on line from Russia are only out for your money, a green card or both. There is a common scam out right now that traps at least a dozen men per week (judging from reports that I see). You meet a “Russian girl” on the internet, she professes her love and sends you some photos. Next thing you know, she wants to come visit you. She send you a copy of her visa. You send her 1200 dollar by Western Union. You never hear from her again.

One arrest in Moscow uncovered that several guys running an internet cafe were posing as women to bilk men overseas of thousands of dollars. It is very easy. They hide in the anonymity of the internet, preying on rubes who think that Russians are all poor (somehow they connect to the internet, but they don’t have a telephone.” They use Altavista’s babelfish to translate their letters, and troll for lonely middle-aged guys who really think that a hot 25 year-old medical school graduate would be interested in them.

If you want to roll the dice and meet someone in Russia, you have to contact an introduction service like “A Foreign Affair” or another. They sell you a package tour that allows you to get a visa, go to Russia and meet potential mates at a series of parties they throw for the men on the tour. You go on a few dates and see if you anything in common (okay, it’s a meat market) meet their family and see how they live. This way you have contact with a real live person and know they are not scamming you through the internet.

The agency will even help you get your new friend a fiancee visa by helping you with the paperwork. Your “fiancee” then goes to the US and you have 90 days to get married or she has to return to Russia. If you get married, she gets conditional legal permanent resident status for two years. If the marriage “takes” (that is, she doesn’t all the cops and charge you with domestic abuse…be advised they do this quite often even when they aren’t abused, because they then get permanent residency and get to take half of your assets in a divorce) then you sign a form and she gets a permanent green card, allowing her to stay with you for good (or bad).

Cross cultural relationships are very difficult when you love the other person. However, consider this. You will be marrying someone whose interest in you is mostly mercenary (get out of Russia and have a shot at marrying up (not you, but a richer, more handsome version after she leaves you in two years). She was born and raised in the Soviet Union, and couldn’t become successful in her own country where she had mostly free access to any University.

I have heard horror stories and success stories. I have met women from Russia on their third husbands in the US with children with three different surnames. I have seen decent people marry Americans who try to make it work and are grateful for the opportunity. The bottom line is that you have to go to Russia and understand where they are coming from, take your time, and try to find someone who is leaving something behind…a good family, maybe a nice job. That way, you know that at least they aren’t desperate.

I have met many people who are happy with this result…but remember the adage “if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.” If you are a 40-year-old dork from Des Moines who hasn’t been on a date in his life and are expecting a svelt sociable attractive 25 year-old from St. Petersburg who goes to the Opera and the theatre to fall madly in love with you and be content to sit home and watch the “simpsons” and play copmuter games, you will be disappointed.

Russian Dating Blacklists: The True Russian Dating Scam

Men who research Russian dating and Russian dating scams will undoubtedly run across agencyscams.com and jimslists.com. These websites, both which are run by a mysterious gentleman named “Jim,†allegedly expose the “truth†about Russian dating scams. However, if visitors take a closer look at Jim’s sites they might begin to wonder who is a Russian scammer and who is not.

Jim’s “Approved†Sites Are the Same Sites with Prominent Ads

Of the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Russian dating sites and Russian dating services on agenyscams.com and jimslists.com, only 10-15 make the “approved†or “Gold†list. So many sites make Jim’s “Black†or “scam†list that he must list them on three separate pages. Coincidentally (or not), all of the Gold sites have prominent ads on both of Jim’s websites. On agencyscams.com, he even asks visitors to click on Gold site links from his website so he will get “credit.†Jim also admits in his Bio that he gets advertising dollars from Gold and White list sites. This suggests that Jim is praising the Russian dating sites that pay him and unfairly trashing those who do not.  Who’s the Russian scammer now?

Jim Admits the Information on His Sites Are His Personal Opinion

In very small print at the bottom of agencyscams.com and Jimslists.com, Jim admits that the information on these sites is his personal opinion! In the disclaimer of liability, he tells visitors that nothing on his site is fact and that men should draw their own conclusions. He even tells visitors not to take his word. However, most visitors are so distracted by the flashing, blinking, Gold List ads that they never see the tiny disclaimer font located at the very bottom of both sites. If the men did, they might think twice about trusting Jim.

Jim Offers No Indisputable Evidence (Visitors Must Take His Word For Everything)

Despite Jim’s disclaimer sentence, “don’t take my word for it,†that is exactly what he wants visitors to do. Nearly all of Jim’s so-called evidence comes from emails he supposedly received, stories he supposedly heard, or knowledge he supposedly gained while living in Russian and/or operating his sites. There are no copies of scammer emails (with headers), no screenshots of the alleged scammers at work, no chat transcripts, no recorded phone calls, nothing that proves his scamming evidence actually exists. There are photos of alleged Russian scammers, but again no indisputable proof of their misdeeds. Visitors simply must take Jim’s word.

Furthermore, the emails and scam reports are all one sided. Jim encourages accused Russian scammers and Russian dating scam sites to contact him (email is the only option), but nowhere do visitors see a rebuttal or any version of a Russian dating scam story other than Jim’s own. It seems Jim is not interested in presenting both sides of the story.

Men who research hot Russian bride scams, should consider all of the facts before making up their minds. Agencyscams.com and Jimslists.com, though interesting, are not as selfless or objective as they first appear.
