Russian Dating Scams: How Do I Know The Girl Is Real?
Question: I heard so much about Russian dating scams. I’ve been writing to a Russian girl for the last month and she seems like a great match, but how do I know she is real and I am not being scammed?
First of all, a lot depends on where you met the girl. If you met through big and known agencies, such Elena’s Models, 99.9% that the girl you are talking to is real. These agencies take their job seriously; check the girls who register on their site to avoid scam. If I am not mistaken, Elena’s Models is considered to be one of the safest and reliable sites as far as scam goes.
If you met this girl on one of the free Russian dating sites, there is a greater chance that she might be a scam artist. However, don’t get upset. There are indeed girls who register on free Russian dating sites who are not scammers and are serious about meeting a Western man.
You might be surprised, but most scammers are not Russian women who work independently. Most of the scam artists work in groups and many of them are not even from Russia (Nigerian scams are very common).
If you are not sure your Russian girl is “real”, ask for her phone number and call her. Now, some scammers will hire women who would pretend to be your Russian princess, but if you call, at least you can be sure you are not corresponding with a guy from another continent.
Watch the girl’s behavior. Is she too pushy? Is she “deeply in love with you”? Most importantly, is she asking for money? If she is, most likely she is a scammer. All legitimate marriage agencies will advise you not to send money to a girl no matter what.
If in doubt, ask her to send you more pictures.
Don’t forget to look check websites like Stop Scammers or Anti Scam for pictures and profiles that scammers often use
Scammers do exist, not only in dating industry, but there is no need to be paranoid. There are thousands of honest Russian women out there.
Good luck!

great tips.
Thanks.
Ive been reading and searching for some anwser on this topic. I have met a Russian girl that wants to meet me and she hasnt said anything about money and she has sent me her address,pics of her, first and last name, where she went to school, stuff about her parents, ect. She said she would be here for 3 months and her agency will pay for a place for her to stay. When i first met her over the internet to me she was hiding stuff but the 3rd or 4th email she then told me about the things i mentioned above. Looking for anything to be worried about.
In response to T-
I met my girl online randomly. She sent an email right outta the blue. Well, long story short. We are together now and happily engaged!
Like previous responses there are honest Russian women out there, looking for the right man.
Keep asking questions, the fact that she’s answering them is a positive thing. Most scammers look for one thing: numbers. So, don’t give up man-
Good luck

I have been seeing my Ukraine girlfriend for over a year now and to this day, we have not really kissed or have ever had sex. I think intimacy is important in a relationship but she claims she must fall in in love with me before she would be comfortable to have sex. I went as far as getting us an apartment in Odessa to find out if we are compatible. My concern is, She only keeps me around for the financial gain. I have been thinking to end the relationship based on her lack of desire for intimacy with me. Is this a normal situation or am I just being a doormat?? Thanks in advance. I have caught her in many lies in the past. Some of which are classic scam tactics to get men to feel sorry for them and send money. The difference is, I already met her in person and so I knew her to be a real person. I just always have a question of her sincerity!! Should I run for the hills or stay patient. We are living together in Odessa now. Thanks in advance…

Run!!!
On a serious note, I don’t think there is anything wrong with her wanting to wait to have sex and I don’t think this fact alone is an indicator that she is keeping you around for the money.
Her lying to you, is another story. Not sure what your future plans are, but I personally would not like to get married to someone who lies to me, or even be in a relationship with such person. If she lied to get the money out of you or someone else, it is possible that she is just using you. Are you sure she was lying though?
