Being contacted from those in other countries.... (70)
well i dont think there i a real way to tell scammers from sincere.I would say you just have to have fun and treat this like a big giant room and you are wandering around and saying hi. That is what i do,and it is fun to talk to people from different lands,but i know what you mean i get alot of mail from far away places.So i would say just have fun and set your boundaries and go with your gut,,so good times and have fun,,
Wantedman: Is anyone else being contacted by those from other countries or far off places? How do you deal with them? They normally bring up marriage, how do you deal with that?
What are ways to tell the sincere contacts from the scammers?The reason I ask is that I'm getting woman from all over the place contacting me and then requesting that I contact them on there email. Not sure why they cant use this free sites email system.

Had my first really purty gal who fell in love with me recently.
lucky me.
The only problem is she wants US$350 to come visit me, after only two months of one way conversation in which I was told everything about her that i did not ask.

Here are what puts up red flags for me.
Age: Real young ones that are willing to marry someone old enough to be their father.
Pictures that don't match their profiles.
Give and ask for E-mail addresses right away. (they want more addresses for their spam).
Get the feeling that haven't read your profile.
Their profile doesn't make sence, or tells you nothing.
What do I do if I suspect something wrong:
Wait a few days and see if they are still there or do they disappear.
If you contact them don't give your E-mail address or name till YOU feel comfortable.
The scammers come from all over, even this country.
Good luck.
Great advice thanks folks!
I'm currently in correspondence with a lady from Russia, so far she seems genuine. She answers my questions. lol
But I agree I have come across those that don't answer your questions and just seem to babble on about how they want to married and how Russian man just drink vodka. lol
Only reason I bother is because I had a coworker at one of my old jobs marry a woman from Cuba and they seemed happy. Aswell rumour has it Cuban woman treat there men like gold. :D

First clue is when they say they looked at your profile....and haven't. How can they know we are the most perfect match in the universe if they haven't even read my profile?
I just ignore them and delete them as fast as possible. Scammers in my opinion...

One thing about Russian women and Russians is they have this pride thing. I know, I married a Russian woman and she was great...except for some things I ran into. Remember the Kursk? Pride stopped the Russians from asking for American help to save the men on the submarine so they died.
1) She held out her hand and said.." Give me money " and it was expected to be supplied in whatever amount she wanted because after I married her, I was her husband and that is what she expected from me. Never came up before the papers were signed though....only after.
2) I was always wrong...no matter what.
3) She was dirt poor and liked expensive Italian clothes and expected to have it.
4) They spoil their children rotten.
5) Was a procrastinator big time because she always knew what was best, what was the best way to do things and how to do it.
6) Russians invented everything and won World War 2 by themselves.
That is my experience and I know many who have had very good fortune with Russian women. Pride though, it runs deep in Russian blood. Just be prepared to spend a lot of money...and I mean a lot. On the other hand, I know plenty of great Russian women...it comes under the people are people thing no matter where you go in this world.
Good luck.

Yes!! And I am honest with them from the first start. That I am NOT looking for long distance relationships with them. And that I believe in getting to know someone before even coming close to the topic of marriage.
Normaly those you have to watch out for are those who are very pushy and like others said, give you some sob story to get money! So far knock on wood I never had one bug me for me. I suppose I have not let them get far enough either lol
Just got with your gutt instinct and be honest with them!

Yes i have also been contacted by woman from other countries,all i do if not interested just block them so they can't contact you any more.Hope this helps you some
I believe there are as many scammer man as women, these people prey on the lonely . If I cant meet you for a coffee then friends is it . A good way ive found to work out someones motivations is simply to imply you are in financial difficulties early in the conversation something like ..damn power bill came today ill have to try & pay that next week ..soon weeds out the $$$$grubbers .
Ive heard the scammers from russia are pretty full on, I just think if they look too good to be true guess what ? they probob;ly are !

I reply to all letters, the good and the bad. Everyone gets my hotmail address first (I don't care if this address gets junk mail) Some are just looking for money, but I'm very clear right from the start that I don't have money. I have made some good friends from all over the world, from Hong Kong to Russia. You can never have too many friends!
If you make it clear that you wont give them money, the scammers wont waist there time with you. The ones that don't care about your money are your friends.
I always treat everyone with the same respect that I would like in return.

Hello Ladies Bringing any sunshine with you?
Hello Ladies
Bringing any sunshine with you?Well that russian lady I had been emailing back and forth with turned out to be a dud. I had several times insisted on her msn and phone number but instead I have not gotten any emails back from her in a week now. From now on I'm ignoring all russian womaen, and most from any out side countries.
So back to my fishing.
So back to my fishing.
I too have been contacted by women from other countries, especially Russia. Some of my contacts have become very interesting "pen pals" others were very obvious scammers. Its not easy to tell good from bad, but the ones who are content to trade e-mails with you on the site are usually sincere, its the ones who demand your personal e-mail immediately who are the ones to watch. There are also sites out there dedicated to pointing out scammers, (kind of like a dating site scammers who's who). If your careful about your personal information you should be ok. Still safer than picking up a stranger in a bar.
There are alot of scammers on here and also on many other sites. l get alot of emails and messages asking me to add them to my yahoo messenger, the scammers seem to use a yahoo email and have a account on yahoo messenger. l was watching the local news one night and they had a man on there who had met a woman and after chatting with her for a few days he wondered if she was a scammer....he made a website called romancescammer.com. If you think you might have a scammer on the other end of a conversation go check it out and see if the name they use is on there...it helped me out a few times.
Had a guy that l had been talking to for 6 months, he had said all kinds of things, knew there was something not right but figured even if he was playing me it was ok because l wasnt buying it anyway...checked his name out and quess what, he was a scammer from Africa just looking for a way to canada.
This guy from the news states alot of the scammers are from there and use a site called myspace.com and will say anything they think you want to hear, they ask for money, they say they are sick and have been in the hospital, they have been married and are widows with usually one child and they love you from the moment they saw your pic. Be careful theres alot of these men and woman out there..

I contact people from other countries sometimes but I never ask anyone to marry me
(haven't found the right one to do so...)scammers are a time bomb.. you find them eventually.
