Bride scam
A bride scam is a form of romance scam - a confidence trick that aims to defraud potential grooms with the offer of a foreign bride. The basis of the confidence trick is to seek men from the western world who would like to marry a foreign woman and pretend to be willing to marry them. The woman asks the man to send money, for example, for the purposes of purchasing an airline ticket or a visa they have no intention of buying. The relationship ends after requested money has been wired and received, sometimes after multiple transfers have been made.
This phenomenon increased in number with the rise of the internet with its online dating sites and online chats.

The general term "bride scam" can also encompass other scams such as dating scams, sex scams, and bride order scams over the internet. Many men are victims of a Bride Scam before they even realize it. Most of these men are looking for cheap sex but they end up falling in love with these beautiful women.〔Whats Love Got to Do with It? Transnational Desires and sex tourism in the Dominican Republic by Denise Brennan April 23, 2009 pg.107〕 Most of these women think marrying a tourist can be seen as hitting the jackpot.〔 They think that these men will have money and solve all their problems.〔 Many men have sent over a hundred letters to these women but they never heard back from them. Some men sent them money for a plane ticket and never heard from them again.〔Russian Bride Cyber Guide1999-2011〕 Scammers contact their victims directly through their email.〔 This contact is unsolicited, meaning this person will contact a person without previous contact.〔 Scammers will send emails of photos of pretty young women. These photos will be revealing and sexy as the correspondence goes.〔 Usually to enable a personal meeting they need a visa to travel and purchase ticket money is needed.〔
