Beautiful women are hard to resist! We all want a dream marriage, who wouldn't! Unfortunately, many so-called International Introduction companies take advantage of that fact - making it much more difficult for men seeking a Russian Bride.

Many employ boiler rooms to crank out as many letters as possible. They post fake photos/profiles, send fake letters - when you write they respond with fake replies. They know only a tiny percentage will try to meet the women. The few that go will be told the woman suddenly had to leave because of a sick father, mother, grandmother or some other excuse. Others force you to write a certain number of letters back and forth before you can meet and then you have to use their interpreter for the first date - they pay the woman for the date and the interpreter knows what was said in the letters, no problem - dream date (for the company that is!)

Web cams and chat rooms can have the same problem. Women are paid to come in and talk to as many men as possible, they receive a percentage of what you are paying, and they are interacting with many men at once. It is similar to going to a gentleman's club where the hot women will sit and talk to you as long as you are putting dollars in their g-string, as soon as the dollars stop they stop!

A Foreign Affair (AFA) has been offering tours and Introduction services for 15 years; unfortunately, lately we have seen a proliferation of unethical companies preying on hopeful men with fake letters, fake chat and video, which has made it difficult for the average male seeking his dream marriage with a Russian bride

The safest and most effective path is to take a group Singles Tour and meet as many women as possible. You will know exactly whom you are meeting and interact with them directly. You will receive their direct contact info instantly! Why waste thousands of dollars in letters or chat when you can meet real women during the Singles Tours. On any given tour you will meet hundreds of women who want to find that one special person. No letter writing charges, no chat charges, just honest women who want to meet you. Many of our clients previously wasted thousands of dollars (more than the price of their tour!) writing fake women or doing the live video or chat. When they finally realized they were being taken it was too late. Here is an excerpt from one client's E-mail about how he lost hundreds of dollars on another site:

"I was writing to this girl for several months on this other site and I came across your engaged/married page and saw her profile. She had a different name, but it was her exact photo. Turns out that she never really existed on the other site, I lost over $1,200.00!"

If you want to be sure the women you are writing to are real take a group tour and meet the woman in person. You will meet hundreds of different women, go on more dates during one tour than you have in the last 10 years, and there will be no doubt in your mind as to their motivations.

If you are still tempted (and brave enough) to write letters or 'chat" at least go through this checklist, do not send any money to anyone until you have checked out all 10 items on the list.

1. Do they easily release the contact information to you or provide a way for you to speak to the woman directly, outside of their chat or letter writing services? (Great Indicator)
2. Do they force you to write a certain number of paid letters back and forth, or spend a certain amount of money before releasing the woman's contact information? (Major Red flag!)
3. Do they force you to use their own interpreters (Major Red flag!)
4. Do they offer tours or easy ways to meet the women, or do they just try and keep you in paid correspondence for as long as possible (Major Red flag!)
5. Do they offer video chat or chat rooms (Major Red flag!)
6. Do they have at least an A rating with the local BBB (Great Indicator)
7. Are they a US based company (Great Indicator)
8. Is the company easy to contact and helpful on the phone (Great Indicator)
9. Does the company have their own offices in the various cities or do they rely solely on their agencies (Great Indicator)
10. If the company does offer tours, do they allow you to submit a list of women for you to meet at no extra charge? (Great Indicator)

The safest, most effective method of meeting foreign women is still the group tours bar none! This is a time tested, proven, safe method. The Single Tours will prevent you from wasting countless dollars and hours on letters that may or may not be real. The Single Tours will allow you to meet hundreds of women in a very short time. You will have experienced staff coaching you every step of the way. After you meet the women in person you can write to them directly and at that point you know exactly whom you are writing and that the chemistry is real.

Don't throw your money away on a dream, take a Singles Tour and actually find your Russian Bride!
