I have been onsite for a year or so. There is no doubt that many if not most of the women on the site are real, sincere and honestly seeking a way out of their home country for any number of reasons. And I cannot blame them for wanting such a move. But the unethical practices of the site and it's associate agencies far outweigh any benefit which might be derived from using the agencies or the site.
Hot Russian Brides is one sight to avoid. In my time there I have made friends with three very honest and sincere young women. They are indeed friends and I have no romantic interest at stake here. But all three left the agency they were with and the site voluntarily. I knew they had left because we had personal email addresses and they informed me privately that any letters I received, or any chat I had without the video, would not be them. They explained that the site pays women to ghostwrite letters to unsuspecting men from attractive women in order to get the dollars the men spend on answering. The same with chat, as long as you don't see the woman, you don't know who it is.
A note to think about; when these women left Hot Russian Brides, I knew the date each left. I continued to get letters from them for days and in one case for quite a bit longer. In each case I emailed my friends and they assured me they had not written any letters to me except through the private email services we used. There are also the usual hustlers who want gifts, hint that they need money, etc. Don't fall for any of it.
There is no techical help, there is no administrative assistance, particularly for a problem that only makes them money. Fellows, be on Hot Russian Brides at your own risk. Some of these women are very, very adept at taking your money and with the blessings of the site, and many of them likely don't even exist. It could end up costing you and the results may be highly unsatisfactory.
There are better and far more ethical sites.
In summary, I would not recommend Hot Russian Brides to a friend.
