How to crack a Russian Mail Order Bride Scam

Since Russian Mail Order Bride Scam has increasingly grown in popularity, I took a closer look at the problem in order to attempt to help you identify a Russian Mail Order Bride Scammer.

Doesn't this whole online dating thing seem strange like submitting your resume on Monster.com? Wouldn't it be funny if people actually had dating resumes? Think about it, you could hand them out at bars along with letters of recommendation from people you used to date. OK, so maybe that isn't such a good idea. I'm guessing we're all trying to connect via dating sites for pretty much the same reason: we're tired of trying to meet people at bars and clubs, and our friends have run out of eligible singles to introduce us to. And yet, we want to meet someone in the same geographical area. But why on earth would a seemingly attractive woman in her early twenties send an unsolicited e-mail to an older man who lives miles away via a dating site?


If you fall prey to a Russian Mail Order Bride Scammer, you can be out hundreds and even thousands of your hard earned dollars before you even know it. Here are some useful tips on how to quickly spot a Russian Mail Order Bride Scammer.

First of all, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Be realistic. If you receive a strange e-mail from a woman who can’t seem to speak proper English, be wary. Single women in Russia who want to meet a foreign man always register for online dating sites specifically designed for those who are interested in a foreign bride, such as this Russian Dating Site not a mainstream online dating site that most of us use to meet local people.

First red flag that is a sure-fire evidence that a person writing to you is a Russian Mail Order Bride Scammer, is that the scammer will immediately provide you with their disposable e-mail address and will lure you into communicating directly instead of unitizing the dating site.

A second red flag will come up when and if you actually respond to the Russian Mail Order Bride Scammer via the e-mail address provided. When you see an e-mail from the scammer that’s written with the use of “hard Enter”, meaning that the lines will end at or before sixty-five characters, so that the text takes only half of your screen, that clearly indicates that someone who is sending you the e-mails knows exactly what he is doing. I’ll explain this in more detail.

Have you ever received and opened spam? What do all spammy e-mails have in common? They all have sixty-five or less characters per line. That is because not everybody has the same screen resolution. Spammy e-mails are written that way so that if the recipient’s screen resolution does not allow to view the entire text within the screen frame will not have to scroll back and forth in order to read the e-mail. Here is an example:

Hello!

My name is Olga. I am of Russian decent. I live in small
town called Kirov. I live with mum and grandma in apartment.
I work as nurse in hospital. I am twenty nine years of age. I
am never married and I have no children. I am kind, careful,
loving, nice lady. I love to find one man to be my husband.
I am serious about finding kind man. If you
are serious I love to know about you. What you work? You have
children? I love children and I love to have a child. But if you
have children I love very much.
Write soon. I wait your e-mail.

Olga

Now that you have received a similar e-mail, do this; Copy the e-mail text onto your clipboard and paste it in an editor such as MS Word or Works. If you have auto correction turned on, the beginning of the lines will be highlighted in green, meaning the lines do not end at the margins, but instead were ended by pressing “Enter”.

Now, when you think about it, if a legitimate Russian lady doesn’t have money to buy a computer and set up Internet connection at home (as they all claim that they have to go to an Internet café to e-mail their online boyfriends), how would a computer illiterate Russian woman know about the screen resolution? Writing short lines trick is used by Internet marketers and spammers. It’s one of their tricks. A real Russian woman would not know this trick unless of course she is in the business on online marketing. And if this is her line of business, does it make sense to you that she will be asking you shortly to wire her money via Western Union to cover her Internet café fees?

And to start with, a self-proclaimed indigent Russian nurse’s knowledge of banking, wire transfers and Western Union sounds more than impressive, don’t you think?

Just so you know, Russian people are not as lame as you think. Your Russian mail order scammer knows exactly how to take digital photos, that she will be sending you daily to prove she exists. She knows exactly how to upload them on a PC. Ask yourself, how was she able to afford a digital camera if she can’t even pay for the Internet? Another question you may ask yourself is if she uses a computer at an Internet café, how is she able to sent you pictures? In order to upload photos and attach them to an e-mail, she has to have them saved on her computer first. If her claims about using an Internet café were legitimate, she would not be able to send you digital pictures, as Internet café owners do not allow file upload on their computers.

If you are still in doubt (or in denial), next time you send an e-mail to your online Russian friend, ask her those questions. You will be pretty disappointed, as you will not receive any direct answers.
