met her online, wedding is being planned she says, wants 2k to pay for it, im going june 3 for 3 weeks to marry and be with her, she claims she cant come here for a year after we marry due to paperwork involved, am i being scammed? she claims poverty, works 12 hr days, has parents married 38 years, 6 siblings, one here in america married also to an american older guy, i am 42, she 24, claims to love me, and be devoted the rest of her life to me,,,is it a scam??? please advise, thanks.
Tell her that no large wedding is needed and you will have the money with you when you get there if you want to go, bet there will be a dozen more things show up for money.
Next remember that just getting married does not get her to be a US citizen there is a large list of rules from the INS. And there is no reason she can't get a passport and visa to come here.
Now I know many of people who do meet over seas wifes ( more while in person) and they are more like arranged marriages, they want the better life in the US and don't mind marring someone they don't really love.
Also remember that with the difference in cost of living a wedding would not cost over a couple hundred dollars most likely for a nice one.
Sadly she is most likely a 60 year old women writing or emailing, using the photo or ID of some one girl used for a dozen other email scams.
My first guestion is how did you all meet, was it from some spam email you recieved? or were you over there and meet her in person and just carried on a long distance relationshiop
Save the 2000 for a trip there and visit her, then if it is real, do another trip in a year when she can come to you

I would be quick to wonder about this. I worked with an older gentalman who is going through the same thing with a woman in Africa. He has sent her over 2400 in cash on the agreement that she would come back to america and they would be together, and yet nothing. she claims that she cant get a plane ticket but keeps asking for more money. she has even went as far as to ask me to send her money. I have told the guy repedatly that she is scaming him and he is to blind to see it. i tell you to look deep inside your heart and ask yourself if u think this is real or if she is just after your money. There are also some websites where you can find if it is a scam or not. try to look at that.
Yes, it is most likely a scam.....I have heard of them from Russia and other third world countries. A friend's brother sent some money to a Russian woman....and like mjc25 answered.....they keep having excuses...and need more money....
Why not use dating sites here in the US? I am sure there is an American lady that would love to get to know you and marry you....

Yes, it certainly is not, but these scams can come from anywhere, like those emails where someone in Africa has inherited millions but needs to use your bank account to get the money so they need your account info. Scams are everywhere. If this person really wants to marry you she will be willing to come to the us as a visitor or accept you coming there as a visitor before she asks for money. I would be kind of suspicious if she makes up reasons why neither of these situations can happen before the wedding has to be paid for.
Sorry, no Russia is not third world....but not far from it....lots of poverty. Also be aware these women do this for a living. They sucker more that one man at a time....they are most likely supporting their and their extended family also!
We all play the fool some time or other in our lives......if you have sent money....just have it be an expensive lesson. If you have not sent money all the better, but still a lesson in love.
You were just looking for love in the wrong place......try USA!
