Beware of Russian Dating Scams 
Sometimes, the correspondent notifies the American citizen that a close 
family member, usually the mother, is in desperate need of surgery and 
begins to request monetary assistance. 
2 
This has gotten so bad the U.S. embassy has issued alerts to warn 
people about this. Here are the basics from the embassy. 
United States citizens should be alert to attempts at fraud by persons 
claiming to live in Russia professing friendship, romantic interest, and 
/or marriage intentions over the Internet. 
Typically, once a connection is made, the correspondent asks the U.S. 
citizen to send money or credit card information for living expenses, 
travel expenses, or "visa costs". 
Scams have even advanced to the point where the U.S. citizen is 
informed of a serious or fatal accident to the correspondent and the 
“family” asks for money to cover hospital or funeral costs. 
Several citizens have reported losing thousands of dollars through such 
scams. 
The anonymity of the Internet means that the U.S. citizen cannot be 
sure of the real name, age, marital status, nationality, or even gender of 
the correspondent. 
In every case reported to the embassy, the correspondent turned out to 
be a fictitious persona created only to lure the U.S. citizen into sending 
money. 
These scammers have created male as well as female characters and 
entice same sex correspondents as well as those of the opposite sex.

Correspondents who quickly move to professions of romantic interest or 
discussion of intimate matters are likely inventions of scammers. 
3 
A disturbing recent twist are scammers who have connected to U.S. 
citizens through chat rooms for HIV positive individuals, posed as HIV 
positive individuals themselves, and asked for money for treatment or 
travel to the United States. 
A request for funds almost always marks a fraudulent correspondent. 
U.S. citizens are cautioned against sending any money to persons they 
have not actually met. 
If they do choose to send money, they can take several precautions. 
-They may refer to U.S. immigration web site for authoritative 
information about the immigration process and the true costs involved. 
For example, U.S. law does not require Russian visitors to have a 
certain amount of "pocket money" or "walking around money" in either 
rubles or dollars. 
- They may arrange to prepay for a plane ticket directly with the carrier 
rather than wiring money for transportation to the traveler. 
- If the correspondent provides an image of a purported U.S. visa as 
proof of intention to travel, the U.S. citizen may contact the United 
States Embassy in Moscow to ascertain the validity of the visa.
