Why not just stick to reputable companies regardless of location? Why do they have to be in the US? I don't know if you're aware, but there are reputable companies all over the world. Just because you had a bad experience with someone from Russia there's really no need to generalise the whole nation, or even the rest of the world. Spammiest comment ever, you clearly posted that just so you could get another backlink. Did you even read the thread? Damn I wish I was a mod here sometimes so I could clean this place up. There we go again with the generalisations... I'm not from Russia, and have no association with Russia at all, but people are being plain racist in here and tarring a whole nation with the same brush. How would you like it if we generalised or pigeon-holed you because of where you lived? Ridiculous imo. Can a moderator not delete this thread? Threads like this drag the forum down...
So you don't think that there is a general bad Russian mentality like you see in the Youtube videos? On average, don't you think the work ethic is better in certain locations than others?
First of all you "heard" really bad stories. Also you are generalising about an entire nationality, you are either a racist, extremely nieve, or both!
Scammers are all around the world no one could not predict any specific country or zone for this offense! however you must need to be get aware of a person you are dealing to with proper form of communication and the professional attitude
I don't believe that it is specifically Russians that take your money as much as it is the individual. That is why you must have a good review system before hiring.
