Safety Precautions for Men Seeking Mail Order
Brides
Author: Shelley Lowery
A mail
order bride is a term that describes a woman who may advertise
her desire to marry someone from another, more developed,
country.
Many times, men will seek a mail order bride, as they want a
woman to marry who has been raised in a society that has
instructed her that she is generally subservient to her husband -
a trait that many men find very attractive. Russian mail order
brides are big business on the internet as are Asian mail order
brides.
If you are a man seeking a mail order bride, please know that you
are putting yourself into a position to be scammed. You may be
scammed by the companies offering the mail order bride service
and you may be scammed by the mail order brides themselves.
Here are some tips to prevent you from becoming a victim:
1. The first indication that the mail order bride company may not
be on the up and up is if they have a free email address and no
street address. Free email addresses are untraceable. Only ISP
email addresses can be traced.
2. If the membership fee is very low or even nonexistent, but
there are 'fees' for forwarding emails or other services, be very
wary of the mail order bride company.
3. If you receive letters from the woman you have selected from a
catalogue, and the letters never use your name, but instead use
terms, such as "sweetie, honey, darling, or my love," red flags
should go up. These are generic form letters. The letter that you
may have sent was probably not even read.
4. If after two or three letters have been exchanged, the woman
declares her love, it may be flattering, but it should also raise
a red flag. She can't be 'in love' with a person she doesn't even
know.
5. If she requests money so that she can come to meet you, be
very, very careful. Do NOT send money. Instead, if you really
feel this woman is sincere, tell her you will make arrangements
with a local taxi service to pick her up at her home and deliver
her to the airport. Make airline reservations, but do NOT send
money for air fare. And finally, make hotel reservations for the
bride.
What you must also realize is that although you know exactly what
you want from your mail order bride, your potential 'bride' also
knows what SHE wants and the two may not be compatible.
If you make the mistake of sending money to the bride to be, you
will most likely be met with 'delays,' which will all require
that more money be sent. Then, there may be emergencies in the
bride's family that will require yet more money be sent. You will
most likely end up with an empty bank account and no bride to
show for your efforts.
There are, of course, legitimate mail order bride operations, but
there are a lot more illegitimate ones. This is one of those
situations where 'buyer beware' applies.
