BALTIMORE (AP) A federal jury awarded as much as $434,000 to a Ukrainian woman who sued the Internet matchmaking service that set her up with the man who allegedly abused her after they wed.

Nataliya Fox accused Encounters International of fraud and negligence, saying it should have screened its male clients and told her about a law that helps foreign nationals escape abusive relationships without fear of automatic deportation.

Instead, Fox testified, agency owner Natasha Spivack told her to endure the alleged abuse or return to Ukraine.

well, she’s smarter than your average calculating russian, filipina, thai, etc., ugh!! , female who are a dime a dozen on those international dating sites, looking for guys (who are drawn to them, for some unknown, mysterious reason, to be used) to marry and to get them out of where they are living, then they divorce the guy and stay here, taking advantage of insurance, welfare, financial aid, future social security benefits, draining the resources that should be for those who have worked a lifetime to have, but may not be able to have in years to come, partly because stuff like this …

yup, bitter, as i have seen it first hand, maybe crass … when i first saw this story, the first thing that came to mind was $$$ involved (not to mention the heartache they cause along the way) … there are reasons costs are so high, like insurance, or reasons for resources being drained, and this, to me, is an example of one of them … they whore themselves, and we all pay, for years to come … this one, though, smarter than the average, she not only found someone to get her here, but she gets a settlement to boot … just my opinion, though …

:rolleyes:

I agree 100% with you Deb. I have seen it first hand as well from a couple of guys at Boeing. What a pathetic arrangement. Even I won't stoop so low and that says a lot. :rolleyes:
