How common is vandalism? What problems have others had in getting REAL addresses. What are the possible reasons for being reluctant and evasive about giving this information? Everything to me, is great about her, she hasn't asked for a thing, spend a lot of time and effort with me - it's just the DAMN address that's bugging me! dma Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/23/2004 11:06:02 AM   thoughts? Any more details and I will have to take this thread to private email. olegnay Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/23/2004 12:09:08 PM   mail box vandalism is very common in Former Soviet Union. apartments hall ways are terrible most of the times. dirty, stinky, "toilets" with doors to the apartments, and sometimes destroyed mailboxes. a lot of people have Po Boxes to receive mail safe., as P.O boxes are located at the post office. I will send you a photo of typical apartment hallway to your email. dma Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/23/2004 12:45:51 PM   ty olegnay. As I said, everything about her seems genuine and it's a shame that a genuine reason can easily be mistaken for the pattern adopted by those less favourable. olegnay Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/23/2004 12:49:04 PM   actually pictures are here for your enjoyment:) http://www.fiance.com/russian_dom/index1.htm dma Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/23/2004 12:52:37 PM   That's pretty * rough. Dale E Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/23/2004 12:59:09 PM   I went back and read the ref. story.The part about the P.O. box and vandalism to mailbox sounds strangely alike. I would like to point out two big differences. 1- That guy only knew the women for 1 week and was talking marriage and sending money. 2- How much has your woman taken you for? I think it is a common conception that people who live in apts. has their mail picked through and taken by other nosy residents. I have a friend that complains to me about all the time and he doesn't live in Russia. You seem to have invested a lot of time with this girl and I for one could easily believe what she is saying is true. The moment you actually meet her will throw that worry out the window. A scammer is in it for the money.How much have you spent on her besides an excessive phone bill? Unless she owns the phone company, I don't see her making any money on that also. Your worst case scenario is her being a no-show which would be bad enough but she doesn't make money on that either.My own opinion! dma Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/23/2004 1:06:08 PM   I agree totally Dale and thanks for your perspective on this. btw: at 1/p min my bill is just fine! (even though we talk for up to 5 hrs at a time). Yes, I've considered all eventualities and 'no-show' figures into the equation, unlikely; but you have to be rational in your thinking irrespective of how unlikely the event will occur. I prefer critical path analysis, so when the time comes I would like more than an Agency address in terms of dealing with the 'unforeseen', 'things going wrong' so I'm not stuck out on a limb, have that security and peace of mind. Okay, so it's probably very rough - so what!? Pride is probably an issue that is in effect causing concern when it should not. I just like to know. Not knowing something, niggles me. :) KR Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/24/2004 12:14:05 AM   For what it is worth, my lady told me the same thing. The only thing I send directly to her address is flowers. Mail, presents, etc. get sent to her cousin's PO Box Your Reply: Your name:   New Registration Password:   Forgot password?   refresh Code:   Russian brides > Main Forum > Dodgy mail boxes
