Since the early years of 19th century, ordering brides via mail had never lost its popularity amongst the men for finding a special bride. Some men found the love they have been looking for and some women found the financial security, family and new horizons in foreign countries. With the increasing popularity, business got bigger and bigger, dozens of new agencies formed and millions of singles tried building families and in fact 54% of them succeeded.

What changed was with the birth of the Internet, some people whom we now call 'scammers' used the advantages of online dating services and thousands of innocent men got suckered millions of dollars for finding the love or a possible wife from foreign countries. These scammers posted some fake pictures on dating sites, emailed innocent men using special patterns of content in their messages and mostly succeeded in their evil plans.

So must you be afraid of looking for a russian bride on the net? Definitely not. According to researches, 89% percent of russian women looking for a spouse on the internet have honest intentions and only 50% percent of this women can find the love from distant lands. And again according to the researches 76% of scammers are men who even do not live in the country they claim.

So what can you do to avoid being scammed? How can you know if your potential bride is a scam or not? So here are some tips to differentiate a scammer from an honest woman:

- You have a profile on a dating site. Maybe you're not so popular or even you don't have a picture on this site. And out of nowhere you started getting letters from a russian beauty. That's is a red flag and you must be very cautious.

- The picture(s) is another point. Some russian girls do not have the financial means to buy a digital camera or even to get their pictures taken from a professional. So if the picture(s) you're seeing is too good to be true or the image names contain long numbers, this is another flag.

- A scammer never reads your emails properly. All they do is to tell about themselves and pretending to fall in love after 3-4 letters.

- If she/he talks about her financial problems in the first or second letter, this is a big red flag and it's better if you can reconsider wasting your time or money with her/him.

- Never send any money for VISA or airplane tickets, sick family members or phone bills. If she really loves for whom you're, she will not ask for this before she meets you anyway.

So these are some important points you must never forget or ignore. It was proven that the best way to meet a woman from abroad is visiting her on her city. If she's a scammer, she will try everything to avoid this, anyway. While involving in communications with her, ask straight questions and look if you're getting sincere & honest answers or are you being avoided?

After knowing each other and the first dating stage, do not hesitate to start talking on the phone. Listen to her voice and try to discover if she is a woman in love or she is after your money.

If you keep these tips in your mind and take the necessary cautions. You may find your dream love from Russia or other countries. Don't forget that there are thousands of honest russian women looking for an honest man like you. If you are sincere and honest to them, they will return you the favor.
