Kvinna, Where have you been?
Is this your list or a list you found on the net?
What do you mean by this?:
'in fact I selected only most ridiculous patterns, but what I really have understood She is a scammer because she is alive'

It is not my list I have found this in the Net,,, and laugh too much...

what I meant? Well as long as you will follow such ridiculous patterns in your search for russian wife, the untrust and misunderstanding between western men and women from FSU will only rise

following quote for russian ladies

• [/*]
  

  • Visas. It is difficult for FSU citizens to get a visa to a western country. For Europe, maybe 1 in 20 can get one. The others are flat out rejected. Anyone who says, "I'll get a visa in a 3-6 days." is lying to you. It's next to impossible. 3-6 days to hear that they were rejected.

  [/*]
  

  • A taxi is any car that stops and the cost is about $2 for anywhere in the city. Maybe $5 or $10 for Moscow and Kiev. A translator should cost about $5-10 a day. Or $50 a week.[/*]
    
  • [/font]If a girl tells you that her family has approved of her moving abroad, she is feeding you a line to relax your worried mind. Most Russians, especially older Russians and especially those in the family don't believe in leaving Russia. They are very patriotic and believe that Russians should marry Russians and live in Russia. [/size][/*]

  Let's offer your virtual boyfriend to try to go to Moscow and to get the downtown from SVO-2 for 10$ :D:D

[/font][/size][/quote]Why so? And if russian woman all the time tell you how much she dream about move to your country, what will you say???

[TheArrow]

Probably, he will be very glad

[Fiorella]

I just have found some more patterns on the site of well-known scammer and cheater Saul

if a woman has different hair color on different photos she is scammer!

[TheArrow]

scammer and cheater Saul - definitely, he is kinda paranoid.

[Kvinna]

seems to me the guys on this board are not interested to refer the scam patternes... they agree to use all these I have posted here

[TheArrow]

 - they are keeping silence coz they are applying all these patterns to their Russian women now.

[Fiorella]

They must be writing them down. For not forget to use.

[TheArrow]

:D:D

OK I'll jump in.  It now appears that I have been seeing a scammer:shock:,  She has met the different hair color in different photographs test.  What should I do?

You are joking  But this problem is very serious, by the way.

You can continue to laugh but that woman was blacklisted by that cheater-scammer Saul.

What is serious?  Different hair colors or scammers.

I think that the main pattern is if something appears to be good to be true it usually is.  ie. 18 year old model who says appearance and age is not important or 25 year old multimillionaire who just can't find a girl in the US with "traditional" values.  For the most part I think that most guys who look for "scammer patterns" and the like are just overly paranoid.

Maybe I have been fortunate, but I have never been scammmed.   It has been attempted on me once or twice, but these attempts were always very obvious.

For how long have you been searching your Russian Miss Right? Or maybe you have found her?

Not all men are so smart and lucky as you are. Read their posts - they moan they were scammed. But when Fiorella posted her message here - none thought serously. But when they are scammed they start posting "pinks snots" (Russian figure of speech, sorry) here.

[acrzybear]

  She would rather have money than flowers

  She is knowledgeable on how to send and receive money via Western Union[/b]

 

HHmmm, she meets three of the many signs.  That's it I'm looking elsewhere:P

Kvinna

I do not care what some of the other members say, the list you posted has some very good points.

[philb]

I did not mean to make light of the situation.  It is just that some of these "patterns" are ridiculously unbelievable.  I could not help but laugh. (the one about different hair colors in particular)

I think I have found her (Miss Right).  I made my first trip almost 4 years ago and have been to Russia or Ukraine a total of 9 times and will be returning in May.  None of these trips were part of a "tour" or a "dating campaign".

A lot of guys who do this behave very stupidly and for the most part I have very little sympathy when they yell scam.

Good luck in May then. And keep your fingers crossed.

One more infamous red flag in addition to the different hair colors. She will be coming to visit me for a month this summer on a tourist visa.  She really can get a visa with out any problems. 

[Photo Guy]

You RW really make me laugh today!
I laugh, then I cry, then I laugh.
Larisa's profile shows her with striped chestnut hair. Her more recent
snapshots have red hair. But, her business is..beauty. Nail stylist.
The list of warning signs doesn't help much.

Many of the warning signs, obviously can or cannot be a true
red flag. Let's make a short list.
1- She asks for beaucoup bucks (much money) for a tourist visa
    to your country.
2- She writes to Doug
3- She writes to Greg
4- She has written to Bruno or Goombah Kevin
5- But, seriously, the water is unclear, and the weather is foggy.    Doug

Kvinna, this morning I had enough coffee and can plainly see that you meant that after you check this entire list, there will be NO WOMEN who pass the test. Ha. I get it.     Doug

[Bruno]

I just have found some more patterns on the site of well-known scammer and cheater Saul

if a woman has different hair color on different photos she is scammer!

My God... i was too busy today for read these post... if i have read it before, i was not become a scammer...

Today, i have cut my beard and hair... and i have cover my grey hair with black hair color... i am become a scammer...:D:D

·  Each new photo is number sequentially (1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, etc.)
