(I dont doubt that there are well known and reputable agencies (probably run by Westerners), but I think the vast majority of agencies are dishonest. C'mon you've got guys with cash sending cash and gifts to girls they've never met, and like 1 in 100 or less ever show up to meet her. The mob doesn't ignore cash machines like that, nor do a couple guys looking for some quick easy cash.
[and like 1 in 100 or less ever show up to meet her.]
That is true and that is fantastic for American men who can speak Russian and have the means to actually travel.
It still leaves the fact that American men should have the same rights as Canadian men to say hello without regulation before that hello.
