I have been familiar with Hot Russian Brides for around 7 years... I even took a trip to Ukraine way back when... The first time I was on the website, I spent a lot of money. Talked to A LOT of women, very good looking women... 95% of which, I believe, were COMPLETE FAKE ACCOUNTS. I have several reasons for my initial beliefs. Mainly, I got serious with a few "accounts" and told them I was coming over to visit and meet them in person... then they started to slowly disappear... There was one, however, who accepted my "intimacy request" and we chatted on skype and talked fairly often... We grew apart, both got married, then we both divorced... she looked me up on Facebook and we chatted quite often on every social media... We picked up right where we left off and were close... Kind of more friends but thats irrelevant... So I sign back up to HRB... And her profile tries to video web cam chat with me... starts trying to talk to me!? I immediately message her on Skype b/c thats where we talked and she spilled the beans... It was not her... It was a recording... This is mostly a SCAM people... I had the same pics as my friend contact me from a differently named account as well. Its just sad... This site should really be looked into... IF ITS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE? THEN IT IS! I hate it b/c I was a believer in it, beautiful women, and love in general... But sadly, There is 95% shadiness to this site... I'm still currently on there but not for long... If I like a girl I make her accept a match / request so I can talk away from the site... If a girl wants to stay there? She's not real people... Sorry...
