How do Russians throw their own in the US

Newly arrived Russians in America are a goldmine for their fellow countrymen. Alas, there are plenty of people in the United States eager to make money off their own compatriots. This is why many Russians who have lived in the States for a long time advise not to get involved with their fellow countrymen. About how Russians abandon their own people in America, in his blog for “Yandex Zen”Said Lena Lukashova.

The most popular way is through parcels. There is no need to work, you just need to receive it at your address and then forward the boxes. With something completely harmless: gadgets, clothes, kitchen utensils, etc. The payment for such “labor” per week is $500-1000.

In fact, it turns out that all these parcels were bought with stolen credit cards. As you guessed, a person who agreed to send them becomes an accomplice in the criminal chain. It’s very difficult to prove to the police that you knew nothing and were not an accomplice.

Recently, our compatriot fell into such a scheme. What saved her was that she herself contacted the police, reporting what had happened. Otherwise, you face a prison sentence.

Another popular scam is to distribute event tickets. Quite real. Concerts, theater shows, exhibitions. However, here too, stolen credit cards surface, which are used to order these tickets.

There are also more “creative” scams. One of our compatriots came across an advertisement in a Russian-language group in Los Angeles - a personal driver was required. The female employer immediately wanted to test her fellow countryman’s driving skills. And she asked to be taken to the specified point, which took half an hour. Then she left the car under the plausible pretext of going to the ladies' room.

As you can imagine, she never returned after using the “free driver.”

There are also more “long-lasting” options. At one of the events, our compatriot meets another Russian. Just a dear soul, he understands one hundred percent. They begin to communicate, even visit each other. Then a friend suddenly has a problem: he needs money. Typically $1000-2000. The desire to help a compatriot overpowers caution. And then he simply disappears, blocks the friend who helped him on social networks and on the phone.

Well, there are more than enough freshly baked migration lawyers among Russians in the USA. For a certain amount of crunchy dollars, for example, for $ 5000, many promise to obtain a residence permit in America. Then they begin to feed the compatriot with breakfast. Like, your documents have been submitted, wait, the process is not quick. The wait can last for years. As a result, it turns out that no documents were submitted, and the lawyer's office did not exist at all.

That is why many Russians in the United States are wary of their own. They can look closely for a long time before starting a conversation I am glad that there are enough decent Russians in America too. And people who are victims of fraudsters, willingly share information in order to warn other compatriots.

Alas, scammers create new accounts with the speed of sound. And decent people with photos in social networks carefully extend a helping hand to their fellow countrymen who are not aware that this hand wants to take away their last money.
