For many of us, it’s the new normal to meet someone on Facebook or Instagram these days, rather than meeting someone at the park or on the metro. In today’s world, “social” activity is all happening around these platforms. People still go to the park, use public transportation and go out to restaurants, but most of the times their lives are still running in the online environment, not in their real surroundings. This is made clear by the number of zombies that are seen on a daily basis, people walking blind entranced by their “smart” devices.

Russian private investigators have been witnessing the growth and consequences of online relationships, especially between Russian women and foreign men.  Most of these couples have never met in person even though they have been in the virtual relationship for years.

So you might be one of the millions of people who has met the coolest person on Earth through social networks like Facebook or Instagram. People are instantly connected, and if they find a common ground, online relationships can evolve at a great speed. Texting incessantly and becoming close really fast is not unusual. Evidence is emerging that online dating is changing the nature of society, it is influencing levels of interracial marriage and even the stability of marriage itself. But online dating has also changed criminal behaviors.

“Although it is great to find someone online you can build a relationship with, it is important to understand the risks of sharing too much about yourself without a proper investigation” says expert private investigator Nicholas Donkova from Russia PI.  Most people simply do not understand the risk.  The truth is that you never know who might be on the other side, which is why before sharing any personal information it is extremely important to hire a professional investigator to conduct a background check investigation in Russia.

Many people are skeptical of being able to find real love or friendship through social media like Facebook, yet it happens. However, no one ever gets involved in an online relationship thinking they will end up being deceived and scammed, or having their identity and live saving stolen.  But, it happens on a daily basis. Investigators say it is very unfortunate that romance scams happen with such frequency through social media platforms, but the good news is that you can take action to avoid being a victim. Expert investigators in Russia can verify any person or company.  Russian background check investigations uncover the evidence you need.

Hiring local investigators on the ground in Moscow or St. Petersburg will make all the difference. A professional investigation firm like Russia PI™ means that a real investigation is being conducted and that the information is being obtained at reliable sources like official government authorities, employers and schools. Having access to official records means that the information and evidence obtained can prove whether you have been communicating with the real deal, or with a scammer.  Local investigators on the ground where you need them, who speak the language and have the training, and access to information you need to know.

If you met someone from Russia through Facebook, Instagram or any other social media network, get a professional background check investigation before it’s too late!
