Another method of recruitment is "marriage agencies," sometimes called mail-order-bride agencies or international introduction services. According to the International Organization for Migration, all mail-order-bride agencies with women from the republics of the former Soviet Union are under the control of organized crime networks. Many of these agencies operate on the Internet. Recruiters use "marriage agencies" as a way to contact women who are eager to travel or emigrate. This route into the sex industry can take several forms. The recruiters may be traffickers or work directly with traffickers. The woman may meet with a man who promises marriage at a later date. The man may use the woman himself for a short period of time, then coerce her into making pornography and later sell her to the sex industry, or he may directly deliver the woman to a brothel.
Some traffickers use the woman’s legal documents and tourist visas to legally enter the destination countries. The women may be put on a circuit by pimps in which they are moved from country to country on legal tourist visas or entertainers’ visas. Other times, the woman is given false documents. In this case, the woman is even more vulnerable after she arrives in the destination country because she is there illegally. If police discover her, she is arrested and deported.
Intersting Ice, I found this also when I was doing some research on fire arms crimes in the world. That export for prostitution and black market firearms were becoming a growth industry in the FSU.
There are some sick bastards in the world. And the girls should be as careful with the men as we are with the scammers.
I didn't post this just to down people on this site and what we are all looking for. It was just to give people a better understanding of things that many of us have taken for granted. I can only hope that the men on here are as honorable as possible. I thought this knowledge would give men on here a moment to reflect on how delicate this whole business is and what many of these women risk by hooking up with us guys.
C'mon Ice..... The guys here on the forum are the good guys. (at least i would like to think so) Many if not all here are quite sincere in finding true love. A russian woman would do well by hooking up with a great majority of those who post here. Sure it is a delicate business, but love has always been this way !
Great success always comes at the risk of enormous failure... CHURCHILL
I don't know how in russia but here all the agencies came through police investigation process in the last 3 months. In Vitebsk only one agency was not "clear". I talked to the officer in charge for this investigation, he was just bored of this "crime fighting". he told that prostitutes are recruited in absolutely other circles of women. By the way it turned out that most model agencies' heads were put into prison for traffiking in Belarus. I tell just facts.
Felicedate I didn't post this to knock your site this site or any site but because I just thought it was a sad article on how little humanity has advanced.
Ice. Actually I myself care very little for any site, I just like to stay objective in such questions.
I can say that in around 2 years of my agency existence there was not a single attempt from the criminals to interfere in this business while when I've been running several shops such attempts were very frequent and almost every business owner had to pay for this "defence".
So you know I chose this business because it is much less nervous, I wouldn't work with this f...n bandits any longer, it makes you feel very humiliated even if it is not too risky.
Felicedate, when such activity comes up and where your from is there any protection in law informent to stop illegal collection of money, or is this a waist of time and dangerous to do.
You should never have to feel like that and that is sad but very true
that criminals make a living off other people Wealth.
You question the advancement of humanity when we abort a life for the sake of convenience and choice? No respect there, I still say acquitt Scott Peterson of one murder, the child was unborn so it is devoid of life according to some. I'm not trying to stir up anything, just laying out an example the idiocy of modern thought.
OK. Well... It is a hard question. This country's independent economy like in Russia, Ukraine and all the other FSU began like this. How do you think where all the luxory in Moscow appear? In the 90th half of the country were trading, up to 10% were "defending" them", now it is not so wide as it was 10 years ago. The illegal profits were legalized, allowed former gang leaders to build casinos, restaurants, buy factories and plants and so on.
I don't know the way to fight the rackets. The police won't be able to do anything as they are never threatening you directly. NEVER! A couple of bold headed guys in leather come up to you from a black MB and tell that they have dreamed all of their life to be your friends(lterally), that they are ready to help you and defend you. Noone talks of money at this stage, if you already have "friends" you give their phone number to the guys and it is their problem already. But if you have no, this is your problem. You may reject but who know what will happen to you or your shop next time? Probably nothing but who wants to live under threat?
To be fair I must say that such thing now is not so widely spreaded as before. It covers only very small street shops and illegal business, sch as black currency market, prostitutes and so on.
You mean all I have to do is talk to the russian mob and I can order myself a sex slave? Wow and to think I was trying to get these women to fall in love with me. What a waste.
Ice, it's not just the US, take a look at the the murders in the countries with the highest murders, which the US is not the highest, but still has a common denominator that the others have. It is directly proportional to a world wide epidemic of the devaluation of life.
