5 Signs of a Scammer in the Russian Dating Industry
If you’re talking to a Russian woman and you’ve noticed some things which make you wonder whether she is legitimately interested in you – you should probably continue reading this article. Unfortunately, there are many scammers in the Russian dating industry that can seem like very honest and legitimate women that truly care for the women they’re talking to. They can be very convincing and this is where the danger comes in. If you’re suspicious, check out these 5 signs of a scammer in the Russian dating industry.
1. Only One Picture –
If your Russian woman only has one picture of herself to show you, especially if you’ve been talking for a few months or longer, you should be aware. Who doesn’t have more than one picture of themselves? Unfortunately, many individuals snag pictures of models and ordinary women in order to pose as real Russian women seeking romance and marriage. If you have only seen one picture of your Russian woman, ask to see more. If she’s legitimate, she should have several that she’s willing to send.
2. Avoiding Details –
If there are details about your Russian woman that she avoids discussing, like exactly where she’s from, what kinds of activities she loves and more, you should probably be cognizant of the situation. Real Russian women have beautiful personalities and are usually very intelligent and well-educated. However, individuals pretending to be Russian women wouldn’t have access to the details of a life that a real Russian woman would have. Sure – they can make a few things up, but the whole picture will seem fuzzy and surreal. Pay attention to the details you get because you could be talking to a scammer in the Russian dating industry.
3. Asking for Cash –
One of the most obvious signs of a scammer in the Russian dating industry is a woman who asks for cash for one reason or another. She may not even ask – she may hint around and make you feel bad for her so that you’ll offer to send her money. If this happens, be very suspicious.
4. Refusing to Meet You –
If you’ve been talking to a Russian woman for a while and you’ve decided that you want to meet her – you’re not alone. Most men do this after a while and it’s usually accepted most of the time. However, if time after time, you’ve been put off or given some lame excuse that your Russian woman can’t meet you – you should be suspicious.
5. Your Gut Feeling is Warning You –
Many times when a man is about to be scammed by a Russian woman, he will feel that something is not right. Many victims of scammers in the Russian dating industry have said that they thought something felt wrong, but didn’t pay attention to their gut feeling. If you have that feeling that something is wrong, do a little more digging on your Russian woman. Find out if she really is who she says she is. Chances are – your gut feeling is correct.
Unfortunately, scammers in the Russian dating industry are very real. Use the signs above to help you determine whether you’re chatting with a beautiful and sincere Russian woman or a scammer.

Yes, I don’t know that I would be happy to become a victim of a scammer. My experience here is that only two of the 450 or so women I have received letters from and of those I have replied to have given indication of scamming or rudeness. One asked for US$400.00 for a visa and passport so she could come to Australia. Another accused me of engaging in conversation with 21 year olds when I should confine myself to talking to 40/55 year olds. Hey I didn’t write to them.., this lady was 21 years and sent me a loving letter and wanted to chat, which we did. The conversation degenerated after a few pleasantries into a diatribe by this 21 y.o. accusing me of predating on young women on the site. Goodness me. I haven’t checked my profile requirements but i doubt if i requested specifically just 21 year olds. My field is open, but checking on the site in general it seems that 75% or so of the women on the site are under 30. But I am not to know this when starting out. So, according to this lady I should confine myself to less than 25% of the site, because as already stated she wanted me to confine myself to over 40 years olds which make up about 15% of the site. And, according to her, all women on this site under say 30, should be banned from meeting any man over 40. I can supply her name and ID number if required so that you can be warned.
She probably is unaware that most of the woman on site sumbit an age range which could run from 21-60. So what are we to believe as paying site members? Most of the women writing to me are 19-39, unsolicited. Perhaps this lady is not getting the attention she wants.
