With the bevy of beauties on dating sites like Scanna and Anastasia Date, it’s not surprising that many men line up to try and garner the affection of a gorgeous East European lady. These sites are often times some of the most successful places for men to meet women, as the ladies are not only looking for love but a change of scenery, but there is also the very real possibility of getting scammed. It’s easy to get blinded by love, so be sure to follow DatePro’s tips on how not to get scammed by Russian dating sites.
1. Be wary of those asking for money
As with any dating site, asking for money before you meet should be an immediate warning sign that something is not right. Do not agree to send money to them; even if you swear you are in love with them. You are just asking to be taken advantage of.
2. Don’t allow yourself to be pursued
If you’ve received an e-mail from a Russian woman but have not signed up for a dating site, ignore it. You could be the ultimate Don Juan, but women don’t just go hunting men down on the internet. This is often a sign that it’s a scam and is just some person trying to get money out of you.
3. Meet them in their country
It is customary when meeting a woman overseas that you go to meet her in her country. Sending a plane ticket to her is, just like sending money, asking to be scammed.
4. Always check the dating sites’ credentials
This should be done even before you start online dating, you should choose a site and check how long its been running as well as any possible testimonials or reviews you can find. If you notice that there aren’t many reviews or that it’s only been around a short time, it’s probably best to avoid it.
5. Avoid free sites
Just as with most mainstream dating sites, free Russian dating sites are dangerous because they can be accessed by practically anyone. Scammers can upload photos and convince you their someone they’re not. Although a paying site might cost you something out of pocket, it’s far safer than going the cheaper route.
