While most Russian dating websites are genuine, a number of them are fake and their so-called members are not real either.

They do not ask for money for a ticket or visa but instead send you a scanned visa as “proof”.

This is a scam and you should never send money for it!

There are several fake website masquerading as Russian marriage agencies promising to bring Western men and Russian women together.

Such operations have been known to hire young Russian women to act as the voice on the other end of that romantic phone call.

After taking the time to get to know you, she says she's coming to visit you or wants to move to your country.
