What You Should Never Do Before Meeting Your Foreign Fiance

By Art Saborio

This is something that you have probably heard a number of times, never send money to your fiance if you have not met her. Meet her many times before trusting her with any of your personal information or money.

Marrying someone from another country is stressful enough, yet you must understand she will need to see your entire life. This includes bank accounts, tax returns etc. She will need to carry and present these kinds of documents to the embassy officer during her interview. So make sure you trust this person fully.

I have heard a lot of stories of people trusting too much when it comes to dating overseas. Currently there are over 1000 black listed women from just Russian and former Soviet Republics.

What does the word Blacklisted Russian Woman or Blacklisted Ukrainian Woman mean? It is when a woman from a country other than the USA is reported as scamming money or visa help.

Here are the signs of a scammer:

Women that scam men will have an instant attraction to you. They will use words that make you feel good to be with them. Often times they immediately start to tell you that they love you. They are great at making you feel like you are the only one for them. Yet, in real life they are talking to many others.

The more men they can talk to at one time the more potential for making a lot of money.

Now I am sure that the woman you are talking to is beautiful beyond measure. Yet, ask yourself this question. If you were to meet someone from your hometown and she would immediately start to tell you that she loved you, would you feel so comfortable? Most will answer no to this question. It gives you the feeling that something is wrong. So if that is the case, then why trust someone you never met telling the same things? These words should immediately raise the red flag. If you have not met, you have no idea of her intentions.

A major red flag is the girl wanting to come visit you in the USA. These girls are not dumb. They know the laws better than you do. They know that it is impossible for them to come to the USA for just a visit. All she wants is for you to send her the money to pay for a visa that does not exist. She gets the money and you get scammed. If you are not sure of this, then just pick up the phone and call the USCIS 1-800-375-5283. They will be happy to explain the laws to you.

Just for informational value: When I was dating my Ukrainian Fiance, I tried this myself. But this was after I met her five times. I tried to secure a B-2 tourist visa for her. Although I supplied all the necessary documents, she was still denied this visa. Do not waste your time or money on it.

If the girl you are talking to starts to mention the need for money in any form. It is time to walk away. Ninety-nine percent of the time, she is a scammer. Best thing to do is tell her you dont want to talk about money so soon and see what happens. Most of the time the girl will disappear or she will start communicating sporadically. Since you are no longer the catch of the day, she will move on to easier prey.

Keep in mind that the girl in the picture is not really her. Most of the time, the picture is of an actress or model. Sometimes that person behind the picture can be a guy.

These people have a very limited time to get as much money out of you as possible before you find out about them or before someone else reports them.

After money has been sent, she will disappear. You will never hear from her again. Your money will be gone and you will have no way of getting it back. The typical method of sending money is through Western Union. All these scammers know the ins and outs of Western Union.

This is not the USA and the name of the game is corruption. Corruption is a way of life.

Scammers are really good at what they do. They will have an answer for all your questions. They are impossible to catch. They are so good at what they do. They will even call you many times a week to make you think they are real. They will go to any lengths to get your money.

So you might be asking how I know she is not a scammer. The best way to know this is to meet your fiance a number of times before trusting her. Dont give out personal information to her or send her money until you feel comfortable with her. If she is showing some of the scammer traits then stop and really think about who this person is to you. Now there is a possibility that she might be legitimate. In my next article I will show you how to tell if she is real or a scammer.
