Who We Are
arnaques-rencontres.fr: education, verification tools and professional support against romance scams.
Valentin Le Normand
French entrepreneur based in Moscow for several years. Founder of Agence Valentin, an international matchmaking agency specialising in connections between French-speaking men and Russian and Belarusian women.
Why this site?
I created arnaques-rencontres.fr after witnessing, up close, the damage caused by romance scams. Men losing thousands of euros. Months of correspondence with fake profiles. Real emotional trauma.
My position is unique: I know the international dating world from the inside, from Moscow, for over ten years. I know exactly how these scams work because I’ve met hundreds of women in person and worked with hundreds of men.
This site is not an academic project. It’s a practical tool, built by someone who knows the field.
What else I do
If you’re looking to meet a Russian or Belarusian woman in a serious, secure setting, my matchmaking agency can help.
Discover Agence ValentinOur Mission
arnaques-rencontres.fr exists because romance scams destroy lives — financially and emotionally. Our mission is to give everyone the tools to protect themselves.
- $1.2 billion in reported losses in 2024 (FTC)
- 91% increase in assistance requests in France (Cybermalveillance)
- Fewer than 10% of victims file a complaint
Faced with these numbers, we built the first French-language platform combining education, verification tools and professional support.
Our Approach
Inform without judging
Romance scam victims are not naive. They have been targeted by organized criminal networks that exploit fundamental human needs. We treat every situation with respect.
Provide concrete tools
No vague advice. Free tools: profile checker, scam technique database, step-by-step legal guides.
Professional support
For those who need to go further: profile analysis, one-on-one coaching, and case files for law enforcement.
