Nice to see you again Izi. I would like to add to this topic. I have been getting letters from women who write that they are from the USA,and then when I read their profiles,they are actually living in NIgeria after being deceived by a man through Yahoo! or some other site similiar. I actually called two of these ladies,and was amazed by their accents. It had to be African. Wanting to be optimistic,I assumed they had been in Africa long enough to have picked up an accent. But they almost all claim to have no family alive because of murder or likewise tragedies. Sounds a little like some of the old Russian gamers-- But with the twist of them being American citizens stranded in a foreign country. I was even becoming sympathetic until I challenged one of the girls and she did an about face on me and called me every name in the book. Also strange was that none of these names were the old familiar English epithets common to all of us.

Are these supposed to be white American women living in Nigeria? I ask because we all know that Nigeria is the worlds center for ripoffs and scams.
Nigerian scams targeting dating sites have been on the increase for the last few years. The perpetrators are black Nigerians using stolen pictures of attractive white or mixed race girls in order to increase their target audience in the USA, Europe or South Africa.
Some appear on regular dating sites posing as white South African girls living in South Africa and aspiring to leave the country due to the crime situation or their white monority status. After contacting them, they usually reveal that they got stuck in Nigeria after a visit....
Some pose as American girls stuck in Nigeria for some reason.
They copy some of the Russian scam techniques eg. the airfare scam, but the most common is the old Nigerian 419 scam. Because this scam is becoming well known, new variations/techniques are often used. However it usually involves depositing of stolen or fraudulent cheques in your account. You keep 10% as a reward, transfer 90% to some other account he/she has access to. When the cheque is not cleared, you are in the red, the FBI knocks on your door for an explanation w.r.t. the fraudulent cheque in your account and he/she has 90% of the money.
Some cases have been connected with housebreaking and theft - happens while you are off to the airport to pick up your new girlfriend. Requires the presence of Nigerian gangs in your country. Quite common in the UK. Targets high net worth individuals. Research on your net worth position and physical address is done during the e-mail "courtship phase".
I have actually seen them to be both white and black women. They also offer up their telephone numbers quite easily. And as we all know-a picture is often not a reflection of the actual person.
I would really like us to keep this thread alive. The scams and 'problem areas' are legion and I get bored with innocent newbies asking the same old questions. We can help everybody in one fell swoop with this thread.
I think it would be best to stick to FSU subject matter though. But I am nobody so everybody fire away it is all good stuff.

Olegnay is the moderator. To find the girl on Fiance.com is not dificult. Just make a search. Specify the city, narrow down the age/height and weight and start sifting through the profiles. Can't be that hard I have done it myself many times.

I think I have just worked out the answer to your above question.
Because you northern chaps are cuming to the end of your summer - these chaps have been driven completely Ga Ga with skimpily clad beach bunnies and now are forced to delve into the endless line up of beauties on FSU Dating Web sites.
The poor buggers - what else can the do ???????
thanks for the response chaps!! but really...im a dumb ass northerner from sheffield.... privet menya zovut sean = sheffield lad.... jeese... ive emailed steve izifaddag>>> am i being silly...do russian girls travel to cyprus alone to find northern twats like me?
this reminds me that there are "professional vacationers" and "daters" out there. I can certainly understand the motivation. It would be a strong temptation for anybody with a partying,good- time inclination to say no. These beautiful women( and there are so many) escape the miseries ( imagined or in reality ) of their lives,and after seeing some of these same women for years on the many dating sites,I really have to believe that this is the simplest,most legal and morally correct form of fraud. We all write of monetary scamming,but there is also such a thing as emotional fraud. To portray yourself as something you are not,and lead another person to believe that your love is only for them--and nobody else. I have always winnowed the list of women down slowly to one,and then set my sights on them. The problem here is that when my plans fall through,I am back to square one again. But I will not even consider whoring myself out to several women in a visit to FSU or one of the meat market socials. I will go buy a whore instead if I just want beauty and loosely valued standards of code and conduct. In my mind ,emotional deception is ethically and morally wrong. If you meet a woman while there,be sure you have not dumped on another woman because the new interest simply looks better. This is stuff I learned in high school frivolities,not as an adult.
Cyprus is a common holiday destination for many Russians and Ukrainians. It is odd that she traveled there alone though. Assuming that is what she did. But if she was with a group or girlfriend then enjoy the romance and see where it leads. I think it is a plus if she is on a marriage site. It means she has thought about living abroad and is open to it. Many girls are not. She told you it was just for fun because she is probably embarrassed about it. She didn't want to seem desperate.
