Ok, so much talk about scams, visas, etc. The point here is this, especially to anyone fairly new to the search for a russian bride. Scams abound in this day and age of internet. There are literally thousands of scammers out there who prey on those who are either lonely, foolish, or both. I want those that have either been scammed, or those like me who have done research into this area, to chime in here so the newcomers can get a well rounded opinion of what exists in the way of scams. I suggest you buy the online book at elenasmodels.com about avoiding scams. I know I talk about this site alot. I love Fiance.com the best of course, for the quality of women and the price and the customer service you get, but Elena Petrova runs a 100% scam free site and her book is worth the 25 bucks. IT really opened my eyes and helped me to avoid a lot of what I am reading from some of you guys.
Just remember, if it is too good to be true, it probably is!
I just wanted to add something. I do not want to sound like a cheerleader for any other site, like elenas models, etc. I am just suggesting to use ANY means of gathering information in your search for a foreign bride. Use any resources possible to help yourself.
Fiance is by far the best site for the money. I have had so many interactions with the people who run this site over the past four or five months. People like Nadya, Slava, Oksana have helped me out more than any one reading this will ever know. THey are great people who will go the extra mile for you if you just ask.
I want to take this opportunity to thank those who have helped me! Thanks Nadya, Slava, Oksana, and even Oleg, the President who has helped me!
The Guide about scams help me on the internet also because I am somewhat new online. (january, 2004). I've got the same guide and it is in the computer for reference. Never send money is the best imformation you can get. If the house burns down, never send money. Call the red cross, never send money. When I get suspicious, I say do you know about the scams online and that I, never send money. It is sad when there are no more responses but I do not have to feel I have been robbed. The interenet is such a good way of business and pleasure, It is a shame people have to ruin it!!!
I vote for putting the scammers out of the business!!:) At least then the reputation of my city would be much better:) Ok I may sound selfish a little bit, but that would bring only good things into life of people:)))))
OOPS, sorry, did not realize....I just assumed (made an ass out of myself), that except for Olga, few if any women ever wrote on this site.. (note to self, gotta cleanup my language)lol
:)))) don't worry it's OK!!!:) I find myself more comfortable communicating with men just, and that's why I'm not a member of women's forums:) and that's all:)
Thunderdome you wrote "Ptich'...... I bet that's what you say to all the boys ;-)))))" didn't understand that quite good....it's rather hot now here about +30 Celsius and this makes me thinking not that easy as usual:)
Hello people, just breezing by to see whats going on. Getting to the topic, I started here a year ago, the only one I know of that still posts here that was here before me was TD. My fiance found me and she is proud of that fact, don't ask me why. Whenever I tell her I'm so happy I found her she quickly corrects me. Ive been to Russia 2 times now and I proposed to her under the night sky of the "White Nights". I recently came back from a very romantic vacation on the island of Cypress, or called the island of Aphrodite. I am already planning another trip to Russia soon as we cannot stand being seperated... god I hope this visa goes as quickly as possible!! The most difficult heartbreaking thing we ever had to do in our lives is to leave eachother when we have to go home... So I can say Ive done it Buck, and Ive seen and experienced things others can only dream about.
:)))))) well actually I'm at home and nobody sees the clothes I wear on:) It's not that customary and would only see how the new practical way of wearing changes women, the new fashion which doesn't need high heels and skirts, and just trousers in the Eastern style and things like that:) So during the day time you won't see that much mini skirts and things like that, only when it's evening and people go out:)
crash, I know about your story, and I am very glad for you! We have communicated before, even privately. i too returned from my trip with a success story. We are now working on the visa process. Sucks to have to wait!
