If you are paranoid about scammers then you chances of being successful are remote. I worked out what divorce cost me and the amounts that these scammers might take are chickenfeed in comparison. Things are really cheap in Ukraine now, its actually hard to spend a lot. Dont get trapped by advice here into being a cheapskate just use common sense as to what are reasonable amounts. $1000 in Ukraine currently buys a lot.
Well said, GeminiDreams. Assuming these women are scammers would have never gotten me anywhere. To be fair, perhaps it has not. Of course, one should not be stupid. But, why not feed and clothe what could be your wife and family? If it doesn't work out, it was still one of the most amazing adventures of my life
