Every man and woman considering marriage via an online dating service is aware of the negative press associated with the process. Over the years, as Russian Brides exploded onto the international stage, a large number of fake agencies were discovered. Of course, these cases received extremely negative press coverage.
Women were also manipulated and scammed on many occasions. This too has received a lot of attention. Sex tourism thrives in Eastern European and Asian countries particularly. Unfortunately, men, typically American, use marriage agencies to become acquainted with any number of women in a particular country. They convince these women that their purpose is marriage, and travel out to meet them; the women never hear from the men again.
