Russian & Ukrainian Ladies - Thinking of putting your profile on an online dating site?

You should be aware that this industry has a very bad name and that it has attracted men that place false profiles on sites because they have had a bad experience with online dating, with the site that you are thinking of joining, or a similar one.

There is no guarantee that the man you are writing to once you have joined is married, has a partner, and is writing to many other ladies. Can you afford to waste, months, years of your life writing to a man that has not intention of marrying you, is playing games with you or does not exist.

Does the agency ask you to sign an exclusive contract? Do they give you a cooling off period? Do they force you to reply to every man whether you like them or not? Do they allow you to exchange full name and address if both you and the man are mutually in agreement (without you meeting in Russia or the Ukraine first)? Does the agency have a Schengen Visa Agreement Service?

Some agencies will steal profiles from social websites such as www.odnoklassnik.ru - see this article (Dasha´s experience - http://bit.ly/15mZSx). If you find this has been done to you please report the site to your nearest police station

It is known that some sites use Ringers. They could have obtained the Ringer by mutual agreement or tricking the lady to have her photos taken, possibly by offering her a free photo portfolio shoot, which does not exist, and then using her photos without her permission on an online dating site. If you find that this has happened to you please report it to your local police for the agency has stolen your identity and you could find that the men that have been tricked by the agency start posting your name and the letters that you did not write, but showing you as the author, on the internet.

Some Ringers knowingly participate by earning money for their services which is deceitful as the agencies are advertising that their ladies are marriage minded and willing to move overseas when they are obviously not. If an agency is found to be using these practices they can be found guilty of criminal fraud and in the eyes of the law, their credit card processor, the credit card company and all those involved (i.e. the ringer) are equally guilty.

It is quite possible to keep the cash flow going the agency’s translator will alter the content of both your letter and the man that you are writing to in order to keep you both apart. If the writing goes on longer than 9 months then the warning signs should start going up

Only between the prospective Bride and prospective groom can we clear this very tarnished industry up
