First of all, some words about a subject we all have tried to avoid. SCAMS! This problem disturbs men who want to find their soul mate in the countries of Asia, Europe and the former USSR. For an example, we shall consider the standard circuit of Internet-dating. The man feels lonely or has some problems in dialogue and acquaintance with women and goes onto the Internet for a search of his beloved. He sees many photos of beautiful women on any of dating-sites (the list, the review and our recommendations of the most popular sites, you can look in our section DATING SITES). The man understands that the probability to have serious relations from one woman of modeling appearance is very small, but is hopeful that perhaps there is a chance. He shows interest to this woman or writes the message for her. A bit later he receives the frank letter which (as it seems to him) is written by the fine woman, the woman about which any man dreams. He feels a sensation and excitation that this woman could be the one for him. He begins a correspondence, or perhaps a telephone conversation begins. But sooner or later 95% of women will write the man a letter that requests financial help. The occasion for this request can be anything: illness of relatives, problems with work or payment of use of E-mail and many others which you may think are reasonable. As the real careful knight, the man should help his beloved. But he starts to reflect and understands that he does not know precisely who is on the other end of a telephone cable or email address. The man does not know what to do and what decision will be correct. Welcome to Scamhunter's Guidebook on Internet Scammers A helpful tool in the fight to educate all men against the deceit of foreign women luring men to provide financial support. Not all photos are what they seem, nor all letters written genuine. Learn to distinguish the reality from illusion. Understand and apply the knowledge you gain, and only then will you find success in your bid to locate a foreign bride. About the Author I started my scam hunting business in 1999 after a Ukraine girl from Lugansk taught me a valuable lesson. Never let your emotions outweigh your brain. These beautiful women tempt you with words of love and make you feel like a king. Well guys, that is their job. If they can convince you enough of their "commitment" to you by the words they write and sending you photos to cloud your judgement, then their mission is almost complete. If they can get you to part with your money in what may seem to you a logical explanation, then they have completed the mission and made their easy money. What are you going to do? Take the next flight over to an unverified address (if you are lucky enough to even get an address from them) and confront them? Odds are no! They count on you not fighting back and being embarrassed by your own gullibility and stupidity. Thousands upon thousands of men have fallen prey to such schemes. I wanted to make a difference, and so I began compiling photos and letters and information. I educated myself to know the immigration standards of the USA and I began to study the style of letters being sent to me so I could determine what letters were real and those that were mass produced. I have dedicated this site to educating anyone who will listen, to expose as many scammers as I can and give you pertinent information which may save you from heartbreak and the loss of your money. I hope my collection of photos will be a start at recognizing the faces of the women you may think are writing you. Remember, most of the photos you see will be of actual women, but foreign to the knowledge their photos are being used. One of my best friend visited a girl in Russia and came to find that photos of a local model, very successful, married and with children, were being circulated heavily on the Internet under many assumed names. He asked if he might be introduced to the woman and her husband, and he made the introcution. When he told this woman about her photo's being used, she was in shock, never until that time knowing scammers were utilizing her beauty for their own greedy profit. You will find other photos that just seem like they came out of a magazine. Well guys, I don't mean to burst your bubble, but chances are they did! Come on, you get a email from this woman who is a sales clerk in a local store and she has photos that look like they come out of Cosmopolitan? Come down to planet Earth! I can not tell you how many times I have advised men to steer clear of this obvious lure, only to find they just have to pursue with their pants and not their brains. Then they come back moaning that they got ripped off, sometimes to the tune of thousands of dollars! I can only share my eight years of knowledge and experience with you. If you don't listen and heed the warning signs, it is your own foolishness and carelessness that got you there. Are there beautiful Russian women? Of course there are. FSU women are by far the most beautiful in the world.
