Anti Scam Policy

Although The Yulia Agency operates an anti-scam policy, and checks up on registered users at random to avoid the site being used merely for financial gain, we realize that not everything on the web is always as it seems and we advise you to use your judgment carefully.

  1. Extortion exists in the mail order bride industry in many forms.
    • Women using the sites simply to get money
    • Men posing as women, submitting false details and corresponding with men under false pretences to make money.
    • Organized groups registering several false entries and extorting on a large scale.
    • Fraudulent excuses for requesting money are manifold and have taken, among many others, the following forms:
      • the potential bride needs to buy a computer to keep in contact with her correspondent
      • a family member is very ill and needs hospital treatment
      • she or a family member needs urgent dental treatment
    • We want to give you some advices regarding the correspondence with girls.
      • Do not send money to the women you do not know well yet.
      • If you are asked for money after a short time of correspondence, it should set of an alarm, and you should be cautious.
  2. Disparity between details presented and reality
    • There have been incidents of potential brides submitting exaggerated. This is to favor their chances of receiving as much correspondence as possible and to speed up the process of meeting their soul mate, so strong is their desire to do so.
      • Manipulating biographical information: this varies in seriousness, from over-estimating their level of English or taking a few years off their age to participating in the scheme as a single, childless woman yet in reality being married with children.
      • Submitting an inaccurate photograph: the photo is the primary tool by which the men can imagine the woman on the site and the woman are aware that it affects the volume and type of letters they receive. One woman, for example, received 400 letters from one photo. The reality therefore may not match up to the available photo, for the following reasons.
      • The photo was taken several years ago.
      • The photo has been taken in a professional photographic studio and is therefore very flattering and not indicative of day to day reality.
    • How to avoid scammers
      • Secure process of online communication compared to real life interaction: the process of creating a personality from an image and sparse biographical information is more controllable than the potential for the embarrassment of rejection in a face-to-face interaction.
      • Photo allows for sense of achieving the impossible: the photo allows for the convergence of the kind of image which is regularly seen in modern media with something a bit more possible, as if viewing the image really allows for the man to consume his object of desire because she seems to be real rather than perfect; a potential mother instead of a glossy magazine page. Some potential brides seek to exploit this.
