Ever wonder what would happen if......
« on: October 27, 2006, 06:38:08 AM »
Has this been brought up before?

What would happen if visa requirements were relaxed and an RW could come over her (US) as easily as we can come over there? What effects would this have on the MOB industry? Could a scammer more easily say 'give me money for a visa' when the sucker now knows she CAN get a visa? Thoughts?

We are in these situation in Europa... the price of a Visa is 35$... if pay back during the visit... 35$ is not really so much... for plane ticket, they are with fixed date, at the name given by the lady and if she cancel it, money is send back to my account, not her account...

So, no problem...

I understand the issues about a woman going to Belgium or Italy, but many sites are geared towards American men. And it appears scammers will select anyone but Americans are most likley the big fish. If what happens in your country becomes normal in mine, it may have a big effect. Yes? No?

Have you think why American are the big fish ? Several people ( and not only in FSU ) think that American are rich without work a lot... that street are paved with gold...

Scammer will always choose the place where the grass seem the more green...

One other thing, us, European have the reputation among FSU lady to be greedy... it seem that American men give too much easily the hard earned money...

A other thing, USA is at the other side of the earth... why scam a European man for some little money ( cheap airfare ) when they can scam a american for a few hundred if not a few thousand...

Seriously, you have several reason why a scammer will choose a American... but the reason is not specialy related to the visa... American people can be too much good hearted, can trust too much fast... they have always live protected by "Uncle Sam" and don't always realize how the world can be hard outside USA...

One remarks... sites are not geared toward American man, they simple use the international language who is English... sites don't care from where come the money... simply review the membership of these english speaking forum, maybe 1/3 of people are not from USA... when i was with my free personal dating service, around 50% was American... but no one business can ignore the 50% remainning...

Back to my first thought. Do you think a change in visa requirements for an RW to come here will change the industry? Or how scammers might change?

Scammers will not change... Industry will not change... Attorney working in the "K" sector will be bankrupt...
