Like all things, some of the dating agencies are scams and some of them are legitimate, well-respected businesses.
http://www.elenasmodels.com, for example, is a well-respected business whose owner (elena) has actually written one of the better books on the subject of scams and how to identify them. If you're serious about differentiating between a legitimate dating service and a scam, then get her book and study it. It was a real eye-opener for me. I was registered with Elena's Models for a while, but was introduced to my Ukrainian fiancee by a mutual friend. The correspondence I had with some of the women in Elena's service before then, however, was serious and very encouraging. These women weren't looking for green cards, they were looking for life partners.
