Dear Elena Petrova, I just want to thank you for writing the ANTI-SCAM GUIDE. I am an American man 30 years old and I have been searching for a life partner for quite some time now. Just within the last few months I started reading about Russian women. I know a few American men with Russian wives and after some early difficulties (mostly culture shock) they are all very happily married and in one of the marriages the man is 58 and his wife is only 37!!!! That seems a little "extreme" to me, but they are very happy together.

I am very embarrassed to write that I was scammed by the first Russian woman that I wrote to. Your "situation #1" fits me exactly. The really bad thing is that I saw your guide a few months ago and figured "Oh I don’t need that, only a loser gets scammed." Boy was I wrong!!! Your guide would have saved me 2 months of heartache and $600. The woman wrote me beautiful letters and I almost instantly fell in love. I have to say that I don’t worry about being scammed out of the money, even though I am NOT rich she made me feel so special and I haven’t felt that good in years. Sometimes I still cry over her but after reading your guide I wonder if she was ever "for real" or not.
