international relationships are always going to involve immigration status and they usually involve scams when they are based online. I have seen a lot of that in the MANY years I've been on here.

My experience trumps your attempt to "claim" that scams are not a pert of international "relationships"

Why would you think I only mean the US. I don;t. I am from the US , however, and we get hits from foreign scammers all the time - particularly 3rd world countries.

therefore my point of view is I see online contacts from many foreign countries as potential scams, even if they are living in the US unless they are employed legitimately and have been here for awhile

history speaks for itself - there are a ton of scammers on here and in the US we get a lot of that

I don't really care what people from other countries think about it

and the fact you try to deny the issue seems suspicious

unless they are already living in the US with legal status...I smell a scam
