A russian women wants my home address?

Question

Hi, This is Albert, I am from Italy, but I am living in Berkeley, CA, I made a friend on line with a russian girl, She was writing in her last email that she wants my home address to write me letters, I was talking with a friend about this, he told me, be careful, because he saw some information about scammers on line, the way how I find her is when I was checking my email, I saw some information about people emailing me from a personal machmaker, I saw her picture, she was out of the database when I was trying to see her profile, and she was emailing me directly to my personal email. She said that she is living with her parents, 28 years, in Saint Petersburg, she was sending 2 pictures in her last email.
I am 26 years old and, I am not sure what to believe, I have a filling that something is wrong, what can you think about this situation? I told her that I want to travel to Saint Petersburg, she told me to send her my home address, Did you have a same experience?

Answer 1

Look for whatever reason the internet is a place where "caution" is the best advice. Never ever give out your personal information on the internet unless you know the individual or a reputable company. The next thing you know she will want your financial information. You might be talking to a scammer who lots of times is a male posing behind the photo of an attractive Russian lady. If you ever decide to meet her, you go to Saint Petersburg yourself and meet her in person. Never and I mean never send money for an airline ticket or anything like that. Biggest scam going on. My question is since you want to travel to Saint Petersburg why would she want your home address? This is a big time "red flag". Look go to my avatar and send me an email. I am very knowledgeable about Russian ladies. Like anything in life there are good Russian ladies and there are bad Russian ladies. I know how this whole process works. Send me an email and maybe we can arrange to have a telephone conversation and we can discuss the whole process further. Does this lady have a telephone? You should be able to call her and talk to her. Anyway I allow emails. Send me one and maybe I can give you further insight.

Sorry but these are scams. An estimated 50% of profiles on dating sites are scams. These are not real Russian women who are looking for a man. These are men who steal pictures of webcam models, fashion models and porn stars, set up fake profiles, and start chatting to men in an attempt to gain their trust and eventually steal money from them A friend of mine's divorced brother is 50, short. overweight and balding. Not exactly the type of physical appearance some gorgeous girl would be attracted to. But in his first 2 weeks on match, he had 6 different beautiful "Russian girls" aged 22-34 contacting him They will spend weeks if not months flirting with you, then often say they need money for phone bills or internet access. It might only be a request for $10-20. Many do this to find men who are falling for the scam. If that money is sent, they will claim they are coming to visit but need money for a visa or medical exam or plane ticket. They will often claim to have a sick grandmother who needs a heart operation -- usually the day before they are supposed to "fly" to visit you and need to borrow money or their grandmother will die I can guarantee you've never had a Skype conversation with either woman - or you'd know the person you are chatting with is actually some 20-something guy, not the pretty girl in the pictures Dating sites are meant for dating -- for finding someone near you that you can meet for a coffee or drink to see if anything develops. It's not meant to be some long distance penpal service The reality is, a single Russian woman has almost no chance of getting a visa to the US unless she is in a very high paying job -- meaning she would never have to ask a man for a penny

My theory is, that if you have a bad feeling about something, then trust that feeling. Something must not be right about her or you wouldnt hesitate to give her your address. We did have experience with scammers, but It was over selling something and they were from another country.Theres plenty of other people to talk to. Wait until you have a good feeling about someone and in the meantime, try to get rid of this girl. Good Luck!

i have had a few experiences with internet scammers. i woman claimed to be an heir to a textile company. i gave her my address. soon, boxes and more boxes of stolen merchandise got sent to me. she asked me to fedex the stuff to her. just be very careful.

Answer 5

Have not had the same experience, I'm in agreement with your friend. BE VERY CAREFUL!!! This sounds like a scam to me.

Answer 6

Without playing games, don’t be available 100% of the time or let your life be an open book. A man that comes on too strong or doesn’t have outside interests will scare a woman away just as much as it would if the circumstances were reversed. Read here http://AttractAnyWoman.emuy.info/?7o29

Women don’t want to feel as though they are completely responsible for your happiness and that is what it feels like when the other person has no outside interests. Men who are overeager or jump when the woman says jump are the ones who are more likely to end up in the friend zone. This doesn’t mean that you should play the game of not calling for a few days; it means that you should set healthy boundaries until you both naturally find a spot for the other in your lives.
