are russian brides a scam?

cleopatra is probably displeased.. have you tried leaving an offering to an ancient pyrimid?? or ingesting "garbanzo beans"

That depends. Do you consider dating someone under false pretenses for financial gain a scam?

I suppose you could argue that it's no more a scam than any other form of dating. Lol.

LOT of Corruption and organized crime involved in those and the #1 reason is CITIZENSHIP especially here in the U.S.A and with a 41% divorce rate you can see how that works out once they have it...

No bigotry here.  The YA algorithm picks up the word "scam" and deposits the question in the Horoscopes section. Well done YA.

Forget the Russian women.  It is a scam and if your lack of a social life is a personal problem, go see a shrink.  In the long run it will be cheaper than getting involved with the Russian mob.  

There's no love involved, only financial betterment.

I once was involved with an American/ Russian newspaper. It seemed like some used American men to pay their way over and then meet up with their Russian boyfriends. Most seemed to be married to Russians.
