How To Avoid Russian Dating Scams
Here at LoversPlanet.com, we are dedicated to making sure all of our users are educated about Russian dating scams. There are many reports about women misrepresenting themselves to men and requesting various sums of money for purposes such as visas and travel expenses.
We require our members not to send any money to anyone they meet on LoversPlanet.com or any affiliated websites. If you have any doubts, please contact customer care.
In order to avoid being scammed, users should heed the warning signs, which include:
- Russian women from cities with high rates of scamming, such as : Joshkar-Ola (Yoshkar-Ola) and Mari El Republic, Kazan, Cheboksary, and Gomel. Be especially cautious of Russian girls from these cities.
- The woman insists she visit you, but not the other way around. Ask if you can visit Russia or Ukraine, even if you don’t plan to, as a visit by you will not result in money being sent.
We have a lot more advice about Russian dating scams in our anti-scam guide. Also, check out the government’s report on Russian internet dating. Make sure to utilize these and other sources before you take the next step.

I am being pursued by woman named Elena Simova from Cheboksary, Russia who says that she wants to come to Canada. That she has visited the travel agent and had many questions answered which include all the costs for passport and 2 way travel for 750 Euros. She has written me about 8 times and I have told her I wasn’t sure what her agenda was so I decided to play along because she is persistant that relationship exists. Question is: I have found many terms a man would use that women would not. Is there any such manual to detect like through content as to whether male or female? I know my next move should be to insist I come to visit her because I will say I am visiting China anyway. Do you have anything to add or any advice. Would be appreciative. Thankyou very much and good work. Kim Dudley, Thunder Bay , Ontario Canada.
