Hey All - Back for now.....

[in_phoenix]

Hey all I'm back for round two.  As it turned out the two girls I was interested in, in my opinion, were would be scammers so I dropped the whole business of trying to go over there and stopped communication.

I asked once before here about meeting Russian Women in the US as a better option...heck cheaper and the fact that it was not long distance, plus they are already here.  So now I'm playing on different soil.  Tonight I have a date with a nice Russian woman.  Been over here for five years.  She already owns property over here so does that mean she has US citizenship?  How long is a typical visa good for?  Just trying to educate myself in something to look out for.  My trust of people these days in general is very low.

Oh by the way......I think that we hear a lot on here (and other places) about how terrible russian women are by being big scammers.  Since the last time I was here I went out with a few American women.  This one I went out with played "the game" very well.  Feeding you lines and getting you to believe into the stories.  Well let me tell you, before it was all said and done she was trying to hit me up for $2000 to get a car.  The actual story is quit long so I'll spare you all.

Basically I just wanted to say that scams happen here in our own country as well.   Any long distance relationship here in the good old USA can be just as scamming.  I just wanted to bring it up because I think that it is unfair to label Russian Women as scammers when it happens here just as well.

Sorry, now I'll step down from my soap box.

I would only caution you about some of those RWs who are here and are somehow single again, they may have gotten single for a reason.  I'd hate to get hooked up with a woman who was already some other man's worst nightmare.  Tread lightly in this area.

Yeah thanks for the advice but the same can be applied to a divorced woman here.  Been there done that......hahaha!

Hi in_phoenix,

Regardless of the country, I think scamming can occur anytime where there exists a financial imbalance in a relationship.  Not to mention names, but I have a relative who sincerely believes that any man she dates has a responsibility to make himself as broke as she is buying her gifts, etc..  Like it or not, many of the people in this forum make a decent living and, thus, have something worth scamming.

P.S. Just let me know if you would like my relative's phone number...(just kidding)
