Philippine Brides, Don’t be a Fool

What to know when considering a Philippine Bride

The Philippines is a poor country and has a reputation for relationship fraud. Of course there are plenty of good, beautiful and honest women seeking marriage with foreigners. There is also an active population of scammers, fraud schemes and old fashioned gold diggers. Some women seek financial gain and lifestyle upgrades, an escape from poverty. Others are actually seeking a loving relationship, marriage and something new and exciting. How to tell this difference is the key question.

If she asks for money, put the brakes on. Beware of family or medical “emergencies” where the woman needs cash and financial support fast. Know that sending money via Western Union is likely lost in the event that she’s a scammer. Understand that the scammers are professional criminals and are very difficult to distinguish between an honest and trustworthy woman.

Educated yourself by reading about scam and fraud methods. Knowing about the different scams will help you recognize any foul play. The schemes and fraud efforts vary in strategy, but all have one thing in common, money. Money is usually requested in the form of advance fee fraud, where the criminal needs help with school, medical, rent, family, visa, etc. You can read more about the fraud types at Wikipedia’s site for relationship fraud and advance fee fraud. This is a major step in prevention.

Once you understand the fraud types and warnings signs, consider a trip to the Philippines. Get to know her and her country. See for yourself who you’re dealing with. This is a key step in not only preventing fraud, but also in establishing a meaningful relationship. Take time to get to know her. A Philippine woman in a hurry to marry is a major red flag.

Lastly, if all checks out, get a professional background check by a firm with a local presence in Manila and Cebu. Wymoo offers confidential investigations and has years of experience dealing with potential brides and relationships in the Philippines.

Best of luck, and do your homework!

How Men Find Sexy Russian Brides

November 25th, 2009

Many of you may have wondered why Russian brides are so sexy and smart. The truth is only one: its their husbands that are giving them motivation to be such.

Have you ever wondered why there are so many men who have managed to find a wife who has so many undisputable virtues such as being smart, beautiful, sexy and rich?

The truth is that actually many Russian girls have started their family life out of nothing else but a desire to be part of the luxury lifestyle of the super millionaires. They are smart and intelligent but in addition they have worked hard to be well educated too.

Russia has internationally acknowledged universities such as the Moscow University or St. Petersburg Institute of Fine Mechanics and Optics. Many families have invested much in the good education of their daughters explaining to them that rich foreigners would never stay with a common woman in spite of her beauty.

Understanding that beauty is skin deep but being sexy is something one can learn and develop, young women have invested time and efforts to learn the art of innocent seduction. Usually in university Russian girls get the advantage of internship programs which allow them to travel the world and meet men on conferences or other scholar events.

If you have seen your sexy Russian bride during one of those events soon you will become convinced that sex is not just act, but state of mind and pleasure for the intellect. These ladies always support their husbands because they have been taught that family is very important and a wife’s mission is to motivate the relationship.

Russian women are ready to sacrifice almost everything in order for her to prove her loyalty to you. Their good professional education makes them desired partners not only for family, but business affairs too.

Many top captains of industry are intentionally searching for wives from a country from the soviet block because they know that these smart girls are able to double their fortune. What is more challenging and sexy for businessmen than having bride with astute and clever thinking, easy-going attitude and seductive inclinations?

You might be a software engineer but she will help you become a software entrepreneur whose company might break the traditional market. Your Russian wife will make everything possible to make you believe that your choice was right and to stay behind you in difficult times.

And all of a sudden if you decide to drop everything, a typical Russian bride will help you solve your problems just in a few minutes. She may well do this by the way while making love with you and whispering a tender “davai, davai” (go on, go on) in your ear.

Like most women all around the world these ladies are looking for better possibilities for them and for their children. Wellness partially guarantees this but what is more important to them is their husband’s education and character. Make your Russian bride laugh, tell her crazy romantic stories and prove that you can be good father.

International marriage is not an easy step. Things like cultural barriers or different traditions might make you confused. The good news is that in Russia, just like in America, women like erotic games. The combination of the two of you will result in everlasting physical and intellectual pleasure.

How To Get A US Visa For Your Mail Order Bride

November 12th, 2009

Disclaimer: This article contains general observations about US visa applications for of overseas brides, and is not intended to be taken as legal advice. Be aware as well that US immigration law changes quite frequently. Seek the advice of an immigration attorney before applying for a US visa process on behalf of an overseas bride.

Please don’t kill the messenger, but I have some bad news – the term “mail order bride” is not meant to be taken literally – she cannot actually be mailed to you J. Once you find an overseas bride, you will need to help her get a US visa. As your wife she will be eligible for a green card and eventual US citizenship. In many cases an international matchmaking agency can assist you in the US visa process. If it can’t, then should see an immigration attorney. There are two primary methods for your overseas bride to enter the US (not including a rubber dinghy over the Rio Grande) – on a Fiancee Visa (K-1 visa) if you plan to marry in the US, or on a US immigration visa if you plan to marry abroad.

A K-1 fiancée visa takes at least six months in the pipeline (and be sure not to listen to the scammers who may try to tell you of a supposed “K-9 visa” for extremely unattractive brides). Once she enters the US, you will have to either marry her or take her back out of the USA within a specified period (usually 90 days). After you marry her you will have to apply for permanent residence on her behalf.

Alternatively, you could marry her in her country, in which case she would need an immigration visa to enter the US. This takes longer, but is thought to be easier to get.

For further details, please visit the webs site of a US Embassy or consulate in your bride’s home country, or talk to an immigration attorney.

Russian brides – Popular scams on the Internet. Russian Bride – is she truly an angel?

November 9th, 2009

If you are thinking of meeting a Russian woman over the Internet – you HAVE to be aware of these most popular scams online:

Here are the most popular cities considered to be the scam capitals of their countries:

Lugansk- the scam capital of Ukraine – 90% of the ladies are scamming foreign men for money, presents, etc; read on to see the most popular scams.

Yoshkar-Ola – the scam capital of Russia

Kazan – the scam capital of Russia

Minsk- the scam capital of Belarus

In this article will be explained the most popular scams that Russian women go through and the saddest real stories that I witnesses when American men lost their head and a lot of money when chasing their dream.

I came to Lugansk with a purpose to open another matchmaking office there.

I think many have heard about the tremendous beauty of hot and sensual Ukrainian girls but only a smaller number of them do really know that exactly in this small Ukrainian town with a poetic name Lugansk every girl is a real supermodel. Frankly speaking, I didn’t have any version about why is it so, until the time when I introduced with one interesting and of course beautiful woman, who told me that in the time of the Russian Impress Katherine the second’s ruling, she dispatched all the beautiful girls to that remote area. She eliminated all that women of tremendous beauty in unknown city of Lugansk, in order their charm could not darken the beauty of the powerful Empress. In such a way, this small city was full of girls of unbelievable beauty and they were passing this real value from generation to generation. Probably it’s just a beautiful legend, but you start unwillingly believing it when you walk in the streets of Lugansk and stare at dazzling smiles of Lugansk beauties.

In one of the hot days, I set down on a bench in the shadow in a cozy and pretty park and lazily was looking at people who were resting there. Through some time my attention was attracted by a group of four chaps – two guys and two girls. One of the women among them was tremendously beautiful! A guy that was sticking with her was pretty much athletic but he was staring at another man in a very unfriendly way. At the mean time, the guy that was gazed by another man admirably looked at that extremely beautiful girl. The second chick as I understood was a translator, because guy that was charmed most all spoke in English. The interpreter seemed nervous and unconfident. The beauty was only answering “yes” or “no” and the conversation of two seemed more like a monolog of a foreigner. In some 15-20 minutes the stranger took out of his wallet and passed few green banknotes to the translator. Then, girls and the athletic guy left a foreigner alone and gone in a car that was waiting for them.

As I later found out, the foreigner was an American. His name was Steve. He seemed really confused. That’s why I decided to approach him and ask if he needs any help. So, we introduced and from that moment I started getting to know a different side of Lugansk. It was another truth – a shocking truth about this city.

He came from USA to meet his virtual woman of dream and gain his long-awaited happiness. His whole family was expecting him home with his beautiful, loving and caring Ukrainian bride. However his fiancé disappeared from his life unexpectedly, just like she entered it. The same thing happened to his friend who came with him to Lugansk for seeing his bride.

So, what was so horrible and what happened to both of them?

I told this guy’s story to the manager of my newly registered Lugansk branch of “oksanalove” mail order bride agency. And I was even more surprised and confused when she told me not a legend and not a history, but a real thing. I won’t tell about all the details. I just going tell you about some facts that I found out there.

So, Lugansk and other scam cities have several illegal fake agencies that work behind the closed doors. They don’t give any of their contact details; they do not provide clients with any trustworthy information, they don’t have advertisements. The pictures of their beautiful clients they put in different free internet sites like Absolute agency, etc. Many of their clients are married young women. They are not unfaithful to their husbands and do not look for a partner for creating a family. So, why do they address to the dating agency? The answer is simple and horrifying – is the money. This is it! The work of these beauties is also simple and does not really bother them. They just bring their photos to the agency and that’s all. The rest is the task for their agency. They decide on what web-site to put the newly came girl’s picture, they write letters to her trapped man and so on. Of course man has to pay for all those letters, where “his” woman get’s percentage for his spending. As a rule they receive lots of letters from the foreign clients and the fiancé (if I can say so) on the wings of love fly to these cities to see their beloved ones. Finally, the couples have a meeting and… Confused fiancé’s get a cold look of their Lugansk beauty instead of a sweet kiss.

They loyally pay money for personal translator service, driver, apartment found by their baby-girls and stay alone with their dreams. At the meantime, their brides honestly get their “share” for every deal from their translator who works for the agency. Usually, the fake bride gets some percent from the whole sum given by her fiance. And actually, her salary depends on how much generous her fiancée is.

Some men spent 10K, others 15K, most generous one (I heard) spent 35 – 45 Thousands!

Well, this is a sad story about Lugansk’s beautiful women and their fake dating agencies. I take all the responsibility for the reliability of this information and it’s checked by myself. In two similar agencies that I attended as a fake client I got the whole information about how the agencies of such kind operate and how their brides should work in their team. I told them that I’m married hiding the facts that could make them suspicious and disclose my intension’s. As I told before, I will not describe all the details. However, it made me even the more striving for realizing my purpose.

Here are proximate % that ladies receive from their man’s spending:

Letters – 40%

Gifts – 20 – 30%

Phone calls, translation services – 30%

Persona driver and interpreter when man arrives – 50%

Apartment / hotel rent – 20%

When searching for a foreign woman on the Internet, watch closely how she plans a meeting with you: does she want to have her own interpreter? – Red flag

Does she wan her person driver? – Red flag.

Does she want to travel with her own interpreter if meeting takes place in a third country? – Red flag.

Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of girls in Lugansk (or other Russian, Ukrainian cities) who want to find her second half, one she could give all her love, passion, tenderness, faithfulness and beauty.

See those specially selected ladies at our site who truly want to find love and happiness with a foreign man.

Mail Order Brides – How to Stay Away From Fraud & Scams

November 7th, 2009

Modern as we are today, especially in the western countries, there are not much to be found of what we call long-term relationships or long-term commitment. With the modern lifestyle, men and women are already focused on their careers and other things rather than raising a family. They prefer the “no stings attached” relationships, but the pleasure it gives them is only temporary or superficial. But that’s the way some choose it to be. However, there are still men who seek stable, long-term, married life; enjoying their wife and children.

These men make the mail order bride work. They often are looking for women from other countries that share the same feelings as they are. Popular to western men are women or brides from Europe, particularly from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Georgia. Mail order bride has become a phenomenon. Success stories here and there; from agencies as well as from the actual people who had benefited from the services. However, before you are overwhelmed with these stories, a word of caution – investigate first before choosing. There are fakes as well as scams around. So, it is important to confirm the authenticity of information before you engage into a transaction.

Investigate and confirm. Do your own research, use our instincts and observe for signs of fraud. Sometimes, these scammers sense that you are desperate in your search and they would take advantage of this weakness. This is where they can start on you. So, be aware and be observant. There are a lot of ways to be scammed, like some girls just want to extort money from you, others would just use you as a vehicle to migrate or move to you country and many more. Here are some signs and also steps how to overcome or confirm authenticity of the information you are getting.

1. A picture was sent to you from a match. A scammer will send a picture of somebody else and not her. To counter this, you may request to chat using web cam. This would confirm if the picture and the one communicating to you is the same. Also, observe her responses when you request to communicate thru web cam.

2. Another situation that you should note for is during a conversation after a while of communication with each other. She will express love and say many lovely things to you. However, you have to be very observant and vigilant when you discuss about money and visa. Feel if she is authentic or just using you.

3. After several days or months of communication, scammers will storm you of fake stories like how she become broke, that her family cannot afford the basic necessities of living or even her family is urging her to marry a rich man to uplift their living conditions and other depressing stories. What’s the reason behind all these stories? She wants to get your sympathy and eventually gets you to send her financial support. Naturally, if you are already in an ongoing long distance relationship with her, you will be obliged or urged to do so, however, you need to really discern if she is telling the truth. Of course, all of us wants to help a person in need, however, do not be scammed. You want to show sincere feelings by helping, ensure also that she is really in need and sincere of her feelings to you.

4. Further, if you are already sending her financial support, notice if her needs increase every time you discuss about it. Some more depressing stories are brought up. Again, if you feel that the burden of providing for her family and more are on your shoulders, think again. She should be the only responsibility to you, at least now.

If these stories are untrue, then maybe she is using your money somewhere else. Be aware of how she uses the money you send her. Look for signs of somehow letting you know where she used it, maybe showing bills or pictures or other proofs. Straight women know the meaning of liquidation however informal it is. They know that they are handling somebody else’s money.

While it is true that today it is easy to meet somebody you choose to become your wife thru the Internet, it is also very true that these because it is virtual in nature it is not free from scams and frauds. These are just some hints to prevent you from being victimized. Prevention is better than cure. Ignorance excuses no one. You are old enough to know what you are doing and you are responsible for your actions.

Though Russian and Ukrainian women are on the top list as the most preferred mail order brides, not all of them are fraud. You can still find that loving, elegant yet family oriented Russian bride.
