Dear friends,
Ukrainian and Russian dating scam is one of the most serious problems in the world of International online dating. We all know that there are a lot of scam artists out there that are willing to take advantage of a lonely Western man, by running a Ukrainian and Russian dating scam. These scam artists will use a person emotionally needs, in order to get money or even to steal their identity.
The Ukrainian women scam artist specializes in getting a man to fall for a woman by sending pictures and love letters, until they finally ask for money. Usually, the reason will be to get the woman to wherever the man lives, so that they can be together. Another type of Ukrainian dating scam happens when a person has a profile that shows inaccurate pictures.
Dating scam is the most serious problem of International dating
You say that you know all this and you do not need to repeat the information again. I disagree with you. Almost every week, I get messages from my readers who tell me that they sent money to a Ukrainian/Russian woman with whom they were talking a few weeks and who they’ve never met in person, and then she disappeared.
And why? Because the men do not know the simple rules how to avoid Ukrainian and Russian dating scams. The sad truth is that the scams could cost you time, money, and even heart ache in the long run.
Thus, I decided today to create a short scam guide. 
By the time you finish reading this Ukrainian dating guide, you will know how to recognize a scammer, how to identify and avoid Ukrainian and Russian pro-daters, how to verify the true identity of a Ukrainian bride on a dating site and how to choose the dedicated International dating site and agency. Learn about potential red flags in Ukrainian online dating and four types of Ukrainian & Russian dating scammers.

I have experienced scam at paid websites. Now, I am much wiser. I have made a policy. I don’t believe in fake Photoshop photos. Hence, Skype is 100% requirement for Internet-based dating. Guys don’t worry. Skype can translate written text automatically in case lady is unable to speak English (Skype translation is a big help during preliminary introductory phase of knowing her). Additionally, I don’t mind emailing photocopy of my passport. And, in return, I require photocopy of lady’s passport. I am happy to report that I had found many well educated ladies on free websites (for example: Fdating.com). I have contacted about 190 ladies over 90 days without paying any fee, whatsoever. I have also received photocopy of passport from all ladies with whom I have shared photocopy of my passport. In two cases, I have even received photocopy of academic diploma and transcript from ladies. In general, Russian / Ukrainian degrees are not accepted in Western countries. Why to bring a foreign lady lacking academic skills to complete a degree program. It is best to get lady’s diploma evaluated by western universities. Moreover, it is not inappropriate to request CV from ladies. CV would tell employment history, past employers and complete mailing address. I wish I was this wiser before experiencing Internet scam.
