These forums may be visited by women, usually Russian, seeking guys for friendship. What really happens is that its usually a man who will send you many photos of a cute lady..pretending he is she. Eventually "she " demands money . Its a big international Russian dating scam.Be warned!..ukguy

If you want to post about penpals, it's fine. When I see a post that says it's someone who is looking for someone to love/date etc., and they don't know any other way to meet people, and it looks suspicious to me, I delete it. (If you get your post deleted and it's legitimate, PM me and I'll tell you how to word it better.) "I'm a lonely Russian woman looking for male friends because I can't afford a dating service." doesn't do it.
