TOP3 Sites For Russian & Ukraine Dating
What is AnastasiaDate.com?
AnastasiaDate.com is owned by Social Discovery Ventures, based in Malta (see also: RussianBrides.com Review: Fake or Legit?). It was initially founded by David Besuden and Elena Besuden and has its CEO as Dmitry Borisovich Volkov.
The platform has been in operation for more than a decade and facilitates your connection to your preferred women. According to our assessment, the platform is mostly for people looking for any relationships and commitments.
It is mainly for single men who are interested in dating or marrying Slavic and European women. If you are attracted to Eastern European women, then this could be the most favourable option for you.
However, the site terms claim that it is only for entertainment purposes and you get no guarantees to find a date. In my opinion, communicating via this dating site is just a waste of your money and time.

Signing up on the platform is not difficult. You only need to have your laptop or mobile device that can access a browser. You can then search for the official AnastasiaDate.com and start the process.

How Much Does AnastasiaDate Cost?
While you can try the platform for free, you must pay to enjoy premium services. There are three distinct payment plans available on AnastasiaDate.com. They are all grouped in credits.
The first plan has 150 credits, which costs you 0.13 USD per credit. You will pay a total of 19.99 USD for this plan.
The second plan will give you 600 credits at the cost of 0.25 USD per credit. To enjoy this plan, you need to pay a subscription charge of 149.99 USD.
The largest plan is 1500 credits at the rate of 0.20 USD per credit. In total, you will pay 299.99 USD. These premium subscriptions will extend automatically once they run out.
When compared to most dating platforms, most people have noted that the platform’s rates are just above average.
Some of the free services on the platform include registration, searching and browsing members, chatting for three minutes, as well as reading letters. All the other services are premium and require you to pay to access these services.
As you have seen, the platform uses a credit system to enable you to access these features. For example, sending a plain letter will cost you 10 credits while sending a letter with a photo will cost you 15 credits. If you want to send virtual credits, you will pay 15 credits while flowers and presents will cost you anything between 29 to 800 credits.
It all depends on what you intend to send. The call me feature seems to be the most expensive one which goes for 100 credits.
Overall, the site experience is highly expensive and as for me it is unlikely to ever result in an actual date with your Russian bride.
AnastasiaDate.com member structure and profile quality
Today, the platform has more than 500,000 users in the United States and over 5 million have registered across the globe. The site focuses on connecting singles at a worldwide level with the biggest chunk being connecting men to Eastern European and Slavic women.
Looking at the platform, you will find that it has various members that can be sun-seekers, fans of fitness, nature girls, and animal lovers. But I have to say that AnastasiaDate.com does not create the impression of a site that can provide you with your potential Russian bride. In contrast, it is overtly sexual.
To summarize: The female profiles on Anastasiadate.com create a kind of stereotype — one that can be described with the following keywords: airbrushed, heavy makeup, super models, and sexy babe.
Is it easy to use the site on mobile and desktop?
The platform is fairly easy to use. Firstly, the registration is pretty easy and quick to fill and get started. Depending on your preferred mode of registration, you can manually fill in the details or sync with Facebook to automatically fill in all your data.
It also boasts of a navigable layout to enable you to browse and search for profiles online. These profiles often have noticeably large pictures so that you know who you are chatting up. Most users have also narrated that it is easy to send and respond to messages on this platform.
With the different communication and chat options, people can send messages and gifts to their preferred “matches”. However, you will need to have the required credits to communicate. In the long run, it can be very expensive.
The platform seems easy to use regardless of whether it is on mobile or desktop versions. It is not a stressful platform. Members can access the site on Android and iOS apps. They reported that the interactions are quite similar whether you use either device to browse. It seems to be a usable and well navigable platform.

How do I contact customer service at AnastasiaDate.com ?
On the platform, AnastasiaDate.com say that they care about their clients. They claim to be available 24/7. However, I had to wait for feedback for over three days and this was inconvenient. On the platform, you will find phone service, web contact form, and email.
There is also an FAQ section where you will find all the frequently asked questions regarding issues such as payments, pricing, membership, policies, and how you should relate with the members. You can quickly go through this section and see whether you can get answers.
Our Verdict: Using AnastasiaDate is pointless
Like every dating platform, AnastasiaDate.com has its pros and cons. As we assessed the site, we noticed some things that we liked, and some that we didn’t like about the platform.
For example, the platform has real English translation features and lots of ways to interact with other users. You can communicate with your potential mates via sending gifts as well as live cameras. Even better, the platform has moderators that work day and night to filter fake profiles.
On the downside, compared to other dating platforms, AnastasiaDate.com seems to be quite expensive. There have also been reports of people who have been scammed by other members in AnastasiaDate.com.
According to the terms and conditions, AnastasiaDate is for “entertainment purposes only”. This means the members’ area is full of fake brides profiles and chats are operated by site employees.

All 4 girls looked like their photos sans the professional makeup, of course. (Note: Expect a girl to be 30 minutes late. But, of course, you will be prompt.) On the male scale, 1-10, of a girl’s beauty, subtract 2 for the dolling up on their profile picks. If you think a girl is a 10, she is an 8 in reality, etc…
Girl #4 and I hit it off grandly. Alina is now my focus and we are no longer communicating on Anastasia, only through email, sms and skype.
Yes, there are players/scammers on the site of all ages. Are there not same same in your local area of operation? My experience is they are the low range exception, not the rule.
No, Anastasia does not pay them for chatting. I found no evidence to support this and I am trained in the art of counter-intelligence.
My experience is the opposite, these girls are not motivated by money, they are motivated to find true love with real gentlemen for they are so tired of being alone, being treated like dirt, and desire to have adventure and excitement in their never changing daily lives. Are they unhappy? No. Are they wanting more out of life? Yes.
My experience is Anastasia is not a scam agency, just very expensive. But, a couple hours chat or a few letters exchanged is no more expensive than a typical date night in the US.
It is my assessment the ROI (Return On Investment) for finding my Ukrainian beloved on Anastasia is many times to my favor vice messing about with American girls as I have all of my life.
A nickel’s worth of free advice…
If you do not have 8-10k USD and the time to travel there every 3-6 months for a week or two to invest in your quest for a Ukrainian beloved for life, you are wasting your time and might as well throw what little money you have to invest into the toilet.
Now, 11 months after diving in, I reap the rewards for my self-sacrifice, a blonde/green-eyed stylish, stunning beauty, 5’7, 110 lbs, a transportation manager by trade, who sings like an angel and is quite thrilled to take the arm of a loyal gentleman for life.
Godspeed and good hunting to you all….
I was even engaged but the girl changed her mind a few days after that (we had known each other for 1½ year ) but of course it is also a big decision to marry someone and even move to another country. I think the language barrier and her not being able to use her education in my country where the main problem.
Anyway.. What I want to say is that the girls on Anastasia are all real and yes they look like their photos, and it is also my impression that they are serious.
I’m a very careful person and yes I am able to see if someone are acting or playing games with me. I also know how to look for scammers that just want me to buy them example gifts when we are on a date, and I even look at how much money the girl ask about when she go home in a taxi after our date. In Ukraine you can actual drive from one end of the city to the other for less than 100 uah (kiev/kharkov/odessa).
I can say I’m a “young” man below 32 years old and I’m a normal nice looking person so yes I truly believe many girls are interested in me, both in my own country but also in example Ukraine. I can also see the girls are interested when I go to a disco etc. SO that is a good sign!
I like to say to people who read this that you should be a bit realistic. I know that everyone say that age do not matter, but to be honest it do matter. What should a 20 year old girl do with a 60-65 year old man??
Could you go to your local disco and find a 20 year old girl and marry her. No you can’t… Well you might be lucky if you have a lot of money and she maybe say its love, but to be honest I think that a lot of girls will use you to earn money or get another life. And dump you a few years later so she can have children with a young man.
BE REALISTIC!! You should find an older girl and not chase 20 year old girls…. Use your brain and not your dick!!
The only thing that I worry about using Anastasia is if the girls get paid money for writing letters or chatting. I have lately heard rumors about this in Ukraine, as well as on the internet. It is clear to me that if anyone have any evidence then you should go to the police and try to stop the agency from operating…
Remember that in Ukraine and Russia the companies really FEAR the tax office, not the police. So if you have evidence contact the tax office they will do something and investigate if the girls pay tax of their extra income etc., and then talk to the police once they know about things. If the girls get paid to talk to you, well then they are employees and properly “not real”.
I can understand the need for agencies to have completions and giving girls small prices to reward people who spend much time online and so to speak keep the wheels turning, but it should be a completely different and separate thing than example getting paid pr. minute you chat.
Please if people have evidence of the girls being paid to go on dates or writing letters/chatting then do the right thing and try to stop the agency. Talk to the media and show them your evidence and warn people. Talk to the tax offices and police etc.
My best advice when using Anastasia is really to just buy a plane ticket and go to the social tour party. There are like 500+ girls and you save a lot of money communicating with a person that when you meet you maybe find out there are no feelings or you simply do not like her.
So go to the party and meet people in real life and see if there are chemistry that is the most cheap thing to do. You do not need to be part of the tour; you can do the travel planning yourself and just go to the party yourself. That is much cheaper.
During the party you can exchange phone numbers etc. And then go on dates in the evening or next days. I highly recommend that you take a photo of the girl and in your notebook write down the photo ID number. This way you can keep track of the girls so you do not mix up anyone.
I like to say that the party is nice for a Man, but the girls are rather bored. There are like 20 men and 300 – 500 girls during the 6 hour event.
One other thing…. I do not know if It is a good or bad thing, but I do wonder a bit about why so many young girls are able to be at the party example Friday afternoon and that they do not study or work etc. BUT of course it is a special party and a good chance of meeting someone (maybe, very hard competion).
I think some of them are hookers (but want to change their life) but some are of course real good girls. I serious think people are serious when they attend. At the end of the party there are normal a competion where the girls can win a little money and other prices.
In general, I like Anastasia Date and think the girls are real and serious, but I’m very aware about rumors and believe me when I say I investigate things.
I like to say that the party is nice for a Man, but the girls are rather bored. There are like 20 men and 300 – 500 girls during the 6 hour event.
I will not “warn” about Anastasia, but if you really need a very serious warning then stay away from scam company such as ” yeva4u.com” the girls are fake and I can even prove that the girls get paid. This evidence will be shipped to the tax office in Russia/Ukraine etc.
Be aware that yeva have many sister sites with different names!!!!
If you seek on the internet you will find MANY forums talking about scam at yeva. Personal I have been in Moscow to meet 5 girls… I meet 0… Some claim they do not know I come, other they were sick, and some travel to other city.
BUT I’m happy with Anastasia Date; it seem real to me!!
I have been a member and used their letter writing service extensively for a number of years. I was a newcomer and did not know any better. It took time and I had to learn the hard way. Much time and dollars spent and I have had absolutely zero results.
I have been on one of their Romance tours many years back, although have to admit, that I did have a nice time. It was my very first trip to the Ukraine and I was excited to see a new country.
I went to a few socials with Anastasia and met a girl there at the first party. She was a nice lady but she did not have sincere intentions to have a relationship with an American man. All that she wanted was to be wooed, wined, dined and receive nice gifts from an American guy. I was totally smitten at the time and I thought that things would have worked out. I was wrong!
I hired an Immigration Attorney to work on a K1 fiancée visa. When time came for this woman to go to her interview at the Embassy, she did not go! she backed out. How do you think that I felt about this entire ordeal? All in All she told me that her mother did not want her to move abroad because that she was her only child.
She could have told me this early on. Is this not a Scam? I was out of a lot of money besides my emotions being hurt. Soon afterwards I broke things off with her. Much time, effort and money being wasted.
A few years later, met another lady she lived in Odessa, was 35 at the time and divorced. We exchanged letters with each other weekly for about 3 months. I still believe that all letters were not written from her but from Anastasia’s interpreters. She would not directly answer questions that I posed at her. She wanted to chat, so that she could supplement her income.
I told her that I would be traveling to Odessa and that we can meet. She seemed to like the idea. When I arrived to Odessa I sent her a note through chat and she acted very surprised that I was in Odessa. Hmmm, very strange! About a day later she wrote me back and said that she could not meet with me because she had to take care of her sick Aunt.
This is one of the oldest excuses in the book! We have all heard this one many times. I spent a few weeks in Odessa and she made no attempts to contact me. The moment I got home, there she was on chat again wanting to chat. I said no way! So this is the 2nd Scam…
I could go on and on and on. I have done a lot of reading from other members and I am well convinced that Anastasia is a big rip-off Scam just to play with your heart and empty out your wallet.
Please stay away from this company! This is the biggest fraud going on the internet! This company earns 150,000,000 a year for no reason! They are just in business to make money. This company have helped start up International Foreign Dating back in 1993 but this is the very same company that has thrashed this entire Industry.
Never Send Money to anyone that you have never met.
No matter how believable their sob story may sound.
Keep your money in your Wallet!
We had exchanged email addresses, so it made it a lot cheaper to talk to each other, as I know it can get expensive chatting and doing letters on the dating site, we still talk to each other every day for a couple of hours on Skype or by email. She is coming to see me in England in August and we are both looking forward to seeing each other in person again.
I am a retired man of 62 years of age, I am not a rich man, but enjoy life. My lady is 49 years of age, she knows what I am like and what I can offer, all she wants, is to be loved and have a good family life again, which is the same for me. I think it helps with use both being more mature people, Most of the girls you see on Anastasia are young and to look at most of them, you would think they are models and when I was in Odessa for that week with my lady, it was rare I saw any ladies like that.
I know one of the translator girls very well, as she is a friend of my ladies and now mine. she says the ladies are all made up and use a professional to do the profile pictures of them, so this is why they look so good on their profiles. I am happy to say, my lady looks better in the natural than on her profile photo. As for getting paid for chatting etc., they get paid in credits, as my lady has told me this.
All I can say to you is this. I have worked for me, but I do know men it hasn’t worked for and they become bitter about the dating site, but if you use your head and your heart, you can find love there as I have. The one thing I will say about this dating site is it is expensive and everything you do on their costs you.
If you know she is the right lady for you, make the phone call through the dating site, get her personal contact numbers as I did and it will save you a fortune and if the lady says what she is and show commitment to you as mine has done, all will be ok, but if they just want to keep chatting on the dating site and not give out any personal details to you, steer clear of them as this will just come to nothing and cost you a lot of money doing so.
When I went to Odessa, I booked my own flight and booked my own apartment online as using the dating site is more expensive, so use your head if you are going out to see your lady, you can save money that way. It was lovely to arrive at Odessa airport and see a big smiling face waiting for me, having a wonderful week together and even when I went home, see came to the airport with me at 5am in the morning to see me off.
Don’t be put off. Just use your head and not your wallet. There is some one for every one out there, but just be careful.
Now, Christina is right in pointing out that an 18 year old might write that she’s serious, but 18 year olds are generally too young too understand what serious means. If you don’t use your brain here, then you cannot be helped.
Many people in Ukraine speak English on a very very basic level. Including very many girls. The good news here is that everybody believes in Google Translate. Google translate has limitations and that’s why i believe that the translation services for emails are good value.
Anastasiadate becomes problematic in regards to the premium services like chat, video chat and camshare. They cost 0.4$, 0.8$ and 2.4$ per minute and are definitely overpriced if we assume the girl wouldn’t get a cut in it. Student girls are much more available for a chat than say girls which have a regular job.
And honestly, the thought that I’m helping a nice good-looking girl to get through college by using those overpriced services makes me sleep better than the thought that Anastasiadate is pocketing the whole sum.
Contact girls through a love note. My profile is well written and girls responding to my love note, based their responses on my profile and asked my questions. This initiated the conversation on a much better footing than when the translators sent me their standard letters first.
Exchanging emails is nice, but at some point you need to take the relationship to next level. This involves one of the pricier options. I considered those chats as informal dates. A good date normally lasts 3-5 hours or 200-300 minutes.
And you normally need at least two to three dates that both parties know they are really interested and the girl feels comfortable to take the conversation offline. Now I invite everyone to the math for themselves, but if you’re unlucky, you might end up spending a shit load of money.
But let me tell you about my case. I have online dating experience and that’s why I put up a well written profile, with pictures appealing to women. And maybe I also got lucky. The lady I’m going out with now wrote in her profile between the lines: “hey, i’m not only stunningly good looking, I also have brains, talent and success. I’m not exposing my body more than I have to”. I found that incredibly appealing and attractive.
During the chats i asked her for her last name and where she is working. Then I looked her up. As her name is the equivalent to Jane Smith, looking her up on Facebook and VKontakte proved to be futile. But with some advanced Google skills (you write her name in cyrillic and you use russian search terms). Knowing that she’s got some success, I finally found photos of her in some local online newspapers and they matched.
I then contacted her company for her contact details. I just saw that her company opened up a Facebook profile and asked them how I could get in contact with her. The media intern responded that she sees what she can do and 10 minutes later I was in contact with my lady. She doesn’t speak much English however and as I speak even less Russian, I consider this a serious challenge. Google translate helps, especially the pronounce button.
Those are my two kopeks of thought hope it is helpful!
I use Anastasiadate for now 3 years and I’m totally agreed with all post here. This site is full of fake profiles, stop dreaming.
I know 3 translators here now, and one is now very close to me. Paid just for chats, not to answer letters or to write model’s profiles (yes, profiles are not written by the models).
She works with 3 other colleagues in a under heat flat under the responsibility of a boss, and of course this is not legal job.
Anastasiadate is not aware about it??
Bullshit!!
Ladies on the pic is Anastasia Kucher, you can find her on her VK profile. She has removed some “sexy pics” she has made with her BF on her profile when I have complained.
Her profile was hidden for 2 weeks and she comes back, of course! If you want to play here, you can, as I do some time. But be aware there are absolutely no feelings on that site, just milking man.
They just need your money, nothing else. But if you have nothing else to do, you can search the exception…
Good luck!! I have plenty of examples, but don’t want to put my friend on trouble if I give too many details. This is fakes site, Anastasiadate know that, this is a simple business with ladies that spend their time answering you, underpaid, just to fill your hart with bullshit.
Odessa is very modern/western and unless they are older, then they are not serious about leaving their friends and family to move. At that age, they are being replaced by younger women.
Also, Anastasia forbids any of their women to correspond with you outside of the agency. If they do, they are black listed from all dating sites. The agency doesn’t want you to be successful and bring her back to the states. Then they would lose money.
Anastasia is a scam and her review of them makes me sure that she works for them. Most women in the Ukraine don’t have internet. Yet there are always tons of women online at Anastasia.
It’s because it’s THEIR JOB!
I hope that this helps.
Of course she liked to receive gifts and bought a couple of things for her new apartment. Keen for me to organise a holiday in SE Asia etc. But since Friday evening I have not been able to see her and now her mother is ‘sick’. I still have 4 days to kill in Odessa before my return flight.
Despite all the contact and loving emails I received after our first meeting, when we meet or say goodbye it was like with a female colleague (without hugs of course) or my sister; peck on the cheek and a hand hold with a short hug.
At no point during our recent time together was there any spontaneous affectionate contact from her. When finally I sent her a message try and sort things out and tackle her about this on Sunday she replied she would not be able to see me for the remaining week I am here, that although I was a ‘good man’ our relationship could only be as friends, but she would not mind the trip to Malaysia…
I should have picked this up when I gave her some money to attend classes to improve her English – she trousered the money like a vacuum cleaner.
You work it out….
I will keep this review short and to the point, I used to go out with a Ukrainian girl for many years, for various reasons things didn’t work out but we stayed close friends and talk often.
Recently I was curious about anastasia bride sites, so decided to have a look around, while sifting through the profiles of beautiful girls I noticed a photo of my ex, I wasn’t that surprised because I had originally met her through a dating site and we were both free agents now, so i could hardly get upset about it.
Recently she called me to catch up with life, while chatting I quizzed her about her profile on anastasia, at first she seemed a little reluctant to tell me about it, but finally just said its not what you think, it’s a job!
What do you mean it’s a job?, she said she was paid to translate letters for many girls profiles and reply to the guys pretending to be interested in them, the more guys she talked with and got to spend money, the more she earnt, whe.
For just replying to letters she was earning anything up to $200, part of the deal also included a photo shoot for her profile, after a while it got the better of her and she doesn’t log on it so often, she wanted to delete it but it’s not so easy!
If the girl wish to delete a profile, they have to write to all the guys they have been payed to talk with and slowly bring the relationships to a conclusion before they will be released and the profile deleted.
She also said that she had lots of complaints from the people that ran it, saying her letters were boring and that she had to tell guys how in love with them she was and encourage them to write more often, and in turn generate them more money by selling more credits and services.
So be warned! Most of the girls are not genuine, they are out to make $$$$$ and not to meet the man of their dreams, or as they call it, my second half, my soul mate…. I’m sure a small percentage are genuine, but believe me save your hard earnt money.
I have tried to contact Anastasia Dates customer services but they give you the impression that they look into the problem but they never get back to you at all and i have tried several times with e-mails and the so called live support. As scammed says it is in their blood and probably brought up with this way of life.
All I can say is stay away from this site and I never thought I would say this. I ignored all the other blogs on other sites as it seemed 50/50 so it was difficult what to believe but now I know from my own personal experience.
Oh and by the way i spoke to a girl whilst i was there and she works for many agencies in the town and she admitted to me that the girls get paid and it was all about supporting their family and most girls do not show up and the ones that do take you for a very expensive ride!!
I still believe there are good ones there but the key is learning the language very well and forget the sites, easier said than done! I still hope to find a wife from there but this last experience has seriously knocked my faith.
And Anastasia advertising payment and ongoing commission to local models for a professional photo shoot to create clean profiles to be worked by the ‘Work Brides’ scamming lonely foreigners.
By the way I saw a lovely profile on RussianBrides (anastasia) in 2000 advertised as 55 years old, who looked like my own mother did when I was young. I saw her again on Christmas day and had to register to view the full profile. She was still 55 years old.
The sex Robot wasted no time picking me up and I received the nice letter from my mother’s double asking us to become good friends.
I later found a fake email in mt sent bolder to her that I never wrote. The real lady is now in her 70s and may even be deceased. I sent the sick profile user a copy of her own job description advertised by Anastasia.
It sickens me when a US$140,000,000 professional scam agency takes advantage of the elderly who once advertised before the agency became corrupt. Below is the last letter from the scammer after sending her her own job description. The scammer , most likely a man, never answered important questions such as repeated request to do video cam.

Hello Greg!
Thank you for so long and detailed letter.
It is nice to know about NZ holidays. Have no idea if you also celebrate Snt Valentine’s Day. But just wanted to say: Have a very Happy Valentine’s Day!
With special thoughts of you on Valentine’s Day with warmest wishes for all the happiness you deserve today and always.
I am going to Moscow for 3 days in May, 2016. It will be Day if Museums and I am interested to visit some in the capital of our country. It would be nice to meet you there and explore the city together. If you are serious and really wish. So, now you have time to apply for visa and welcome to Russia.
If not – please do not spend your and my time in wane for senseless mailing.
Regarding other things in your letter… Well, I think you have great imagination and can write nice detective stories… But sorry, it is not for me…
Have a very nice weekend.
Hello, Greg!
I have got your letter. Well…
First of all I must say you didn’t surprise me with your “valentines day surprize on Anastasia”. It was, let say, strange behaviour of a strange man. Nothing more. I am not suspicious, but you are, as I can see. And all the rest of your letter just confirms that you are a very strange and a very suspicious personality.
I hav told you many times that I am serious and not interested in aspects of Anastasia rules and so on… I am also curious why you having been stalking the ladies profiles since 2000 and have seen my profile there since 2000 only. You should find it since 1980, if not from 1960, at least!))))
The point that you “changed your RussianBrides profile to scare off the young girls” just tells me a lot. Everyone gets what he is worthy or looking for. With this kind of intention and profile you can not meet a serious person. I am sure, girls feel it and play with you like you play with them. Equal situation, nothing else. Don’t you think so?
If a strange man spends years and money since 2000 for senseless things it is man’s choice. But sorry, not mine and not for me! Your letter is more addressed to management or administration of dating website. So, please, contact them and disccuss it there.
I am tired of it and wouldn’t like to continue.
Wish you all the best,
True love is something that cannot be bought, at the same time some people take years and are still unable to find the love they are after. The good thing about the invention of the internet is that the world has been brought closer and in doing so, people are now able to meet others from around the world, without having to leave the comfort of their living room.
AnastasiaDate.com is one such dating site that you will be able to find a lovely girl from Russia to talk to. Don’t get the wrong idea and think that this is a sleazy site since that is not the case. Every girl here is looking for the same thing, which lonely guys around the world are looking for “True Love”.
The great thing about AnastasiaDate.com is that you not only have the option to talk to these girls. You are able to do a whole host of other things to decide, if the girl you are interested in is the right one for you. Options like “Live cam” and “Video date” are nothing more than tools to be used to know the girl better.
If you are just starting out and you don’t have someone you enjoy spending time with yet, there is a page of videos of all the girls that are on the site. This allows you to not only decide if the girl is interesting, but it also gives a very clear picture of whom you are talking with.
As for the cost of all these, I cannot put a price on love, but even after paying for their services it is a very cheap price to find someone special.
Yes it takes a while to work it out because most of us like to think we are irresistible or we go into the site because we are legitimately lonely looking for a partner OR we go in genuinely to do the right thing then we re instantly inundated by beautiful women saying nice things.
How quickly we forget and start lapping it up.. Soon as that happens they have got you. We forget so quickly about our dream and start living theirs…
This site Anastasia Date has been around for a long time because it knows the way to a mans heart – their ego..
Boost it and we quickly forget that we are just men looking for a partner – we become these Adonis types that can do any wrong and are irresistible according to these women..
But there lies the problem – most things I have read about this site talk about women – if you spend your time there you will find that you are talking to multiple people taking charge of one womans profile and some of these people typing to you are men…
After a while it is pretty easy to discern whether you are talking to a man or a woman…With that if she switches on her cam you will (if you watch) – because normally you are too busy typing to see that they are just sitting in their booth in front of a cam and someone else is typing
This place is a scam – but it is also something else – I have been able to give my email to a few of them and they have contacted me straight away on my email address but soon after they disappear off the site all together.- big no no for the girls – the biggest problem for these girls is if they genuinely like someone and they want to take it further – they cant…….
And yes all I did was simply type my email address in the chat – most will say they see dots……NOT TRUE – they see exactly what you type because one of the girls told me on my email before she disappeared…..
Again if you try this only pick the profiles that are new eg. ones that are 186—- 187—– (Look for the highest number) these people haven’t been de sensitized yet or a legitimately joining to find a partner – these people can and will still try to talk to you – but take your time to see whether she is genuine – again – after a while you will get used to the regular hard drive stored letters to a genuine one – how can you tell??
Your letters from the girl will make sense! at least some of your questions will be answered and when you are on chat she will ask you questions related to potential dating and not something as lame as asking about your mood….
TRY THIS – in your profile ask the girls to say a magic word when they contact you – simple isn’t it??
Haha well try it – many will say they have read your profile and guess what?? no magic word – no matter what they say to try and get out of that don’t believe them…
Some will quickly get their translator to have a read and they will try to make you talk but remember – they said they read your profile – they did not – its just another line to get you to pay them to talk…
At the end of the day I spent a lot of time there doing the research – this site (I wont say these women) because it usually isn’t the woman but an employee) this site is set up to prey on men – simple – at the end of the day we are pretty predictable so it is easy…
Remember you are lonely or looking legitimately for a partner – a photo of a beautiful woman – one you would never attract in real life – pops up and a few enticing words are typed or better than that a set of words to stir your emotions or to make you feel guilty – are typed by someone paid to do this to make you reply – remember as soon as you reply they are in – earning money – it is as simple as that – it does not matter to them that you are a person – to them you are a dumb – wealthy lonely sucker……
As you can see I am not mincing words – I have a background in psychology and to me it was a battlefield of clever clever manipulation…- They are very good at what they do….. It was fun for me doing the research….
I chatted with many, planned to meet 1 in Kiev and 2 others in Odessa who acted like they were all excited and could not wait to meet me (while also going there to attend the socials). So I traveled half way across the world to meet them, and those girls did not even show up. It is really amazing how heart-less they are.
Afterwards I saw 2 on chat again: after inviting me to chat, like nothing happened, one then did not respond again after I asked where she was. The other just continued to say she was there to meet me (when NO-ONE was) – they will say any lies just to keep you chatting and paying them money.
Then the ones you meet there, have you pay a high price to their interpreters which they split up – and take home to their boyfriends. — TOTAL SCAM.
I am surprised to find anywhere a blog like this that allows factual comments – it seems Anastasia controls most of this stuff and smothers the net with their BS – so you cannot get well informed about them — an organization and country with absolutely NO SOUL – which is why they are so BACKWARD – UNDERDEVELOPED.
There are many nice people (mostly superficial) and they seem to have some high standards with certain aspects of integrity, but will scam you anyway they can get away with it – thinking nothing wrong about it – it is ingrained in their culture.
I spent a ton of $. This is an amazingly well developed scam – well disguised and very difficult to do anything about – but get informed, and be very exact and unyielding in any interaction with them or the women (most do not qualify to be referred to as ladies, barely should be associated with the human race).
They not only steal your money, time but also destroy your heart — getting PAID TO CHAT AND CORRESPOND with men – saying anything to keep you talking and spending – a nice easy, convenient occupation. The video chat gives assurance to who you chat with but nothing about their sincerity, and outside of that, you have NO WAY of knowing with whom you are corresponding – some are paid to represent many different girls.
Going there and being stood up – after waiting about 3 hours at the airport, I felt like I was in hell – which I am sure is much like Hell would be – no love / concern / understanding, – where everyone constantly trying to take advantage of everyone else – out for themselves – absolute evil. Though many of the ladies probably do not realize what they are doing – as it is so engrained in their culture.
So this Anastasia organization is performing a huge disservice – promoting, propagating, generating a HUGE amount of corruption and profiting tremendously from it – a major MAJOR SCAM and DISASTER – for all – the young people growing up there as well as the ripped off men.
OK I will test this site and let all the world knows if it’s a scam or not. I’ve been talking with a girl named Elena ID # 1677116 for over 3 years now. I’m disabled in my foot so I cannot go to Ukraine. I’m Honest as Honest can be. IM asking customer service to have Elena be flown to me in USA.
Elena does plan to get married. And customer service please don’t use the excuse she can’t come here for her safety… she will take well care for and 1000 % safe. I want to see if customer Service will prove to the world that they will have Elena flown here within the next 2 weeks.
Now Elena states her boss left to train other realtors in a far area and might stay there to continue to stay there, and a new boss is coming. I’m asking customer service to talk with her boss and tell him were getting married in the States. So far customer service has covered themselves with every excuse in the book.
If she doesn’t arrive here within 6 weeks, I’m coming back on here to let the world know you are 1000% a scam. Elena and I know everything about each other, everything!!! We want to get married. I can’t meet her there I’m disabled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s see if she shows up here in USA in 6 weeks after customer service talks to her boss. Anastasia your company is on the line here to either stay open or close with law suits. I will be back here to give you info. On what happened world, yes you men in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I decided to give this a chance after my ex of 3 years had left me and I wanted to try something new.
Boy, was I in for a shock!
After spending about $1000 on the site and phone calls, I connected with three she sharks (not ladies as the site calls them). I traveled to Ukraine to meet them. The first had totally lied about her English ability. She had it put it to “advanced” on her profile. She knew not a single word in English. Without telling me, she brought an Anastasia interpreter who charged $60.
They insisted on meeting at only this one restaurant, which I did just to be nice. They then ordered the most expensive items and wine on the menu, bringing the bill to $300. They suggested that I take them to another restaurant of their choice the next day (and to that I said no).
The next date turned out even worse. Even though she spoke good English, she brought her cousin again to this restaurant of her choice.
Without asking me and in Russian, they ordered 8 dishes of appetizers!!! and the most expensive wine and entrees on the menu. I finally got so pissed that I got up and intended to leave. They then threatened to call the police on me and holding me hostage in the country. I threw $150 at them got the hell out of there (total bill would have been north of 300 had I stayed).
The third date did not even show up after I refused to meet her at another expensive restaurant of her choice (I suggested meeting instead at a cafe).
Don’t waste your money and stay home. Date women in your own neck of the woods. That’s my advice.
These women think of foreign men who go there as suckers. They have no intention of a relationship either.
They don’t care what you look like, or what you do, they just want to take you for a hell ride and leave you feeling so empty and used at the end. To them, it’s just business and nothing more.
They are in business to extract as much money as possible from unsuspecting men who pay large sums of money for letters, chat, video chat, overpriced gifts, overpriced flowers, phone conversations and romance tours thinking that the girl or girls that they have an online ‘relationship’ with really care about and ‘love’ them.
These girls are being paid to ‘like’ you and are involved in multiple contests and campaigns to win such prizes as a new car, vacations, Ipads, Iphones, computer tablets and even CASH based on the amount of time that they spend in chat. Paul above WAS 100% correct.
Until just a few days ago you could access this site (SVADBA.com/NEWS) and it had laid out there all of the contests and winners for the last TWO years.
ANASTASIA has since rebuilt and recrafted this site so that this information is no longer accessible to anyone that may happen to log on to this site. You must be a woman who is registered there and belong to “CLUB ANASTASIA” Interestingly enough, sometimes ANASTASIA calls these promotions contests, sometimes they call them competitions and sometimes they call them CAMPAIGNS.
DICTIONARY.com gives the meaning of CAMPAIGN as follows: noun 2. a systematic course of aggressive activities for some specific purpose: A SALES CAMPAIGN.
Sometimes ANASTASIA does bring two people together to the point of marriage. Then they heavily advertise this fact as though they were great facilitators of love and happiness. Last year in 2012 according to FORTUNE magazine this company made $110,000,000.00!
As a point of disclosure I do not know if this was NET or GROSS. However I don’t believe that they facilitated $110,000,000.00 worth of genuine love and romance.
My contention is that this company is based on deception, mendacity and sleight of hand. The majority of men that use this website are being manipulated with false promises of love and happiness, while ANASTASIA, the local agencies and the girls themselves are making a tidy profit from the man’s sincerity and gullibility.
For a more lively discussion you might go to Reviewopedia/anastasia and join in on the conversation.
As a point of disclosure, I am not a competitor of ANASTASIA, I am not a former employee, I am not a jilted lover seeking revenge, I am not against dating agencies as a whole and I was a customer of ANASTASIA. I even had some good experiences there interacting with some ‘genuine’ women there.
All that being said,
Sincerely,
I fully expect she will call Utah her new home, and we will be a family together. If you join any of these Russian dating sights, I have some very strong recommendations you should live by. You must be realistic about who will have interest in you.
“The age difference, if any” A 10-15 year difference between a man and women is normal in the Ukraine. They want a responsible mature man that wants a family. A man they can count on in life. A man to treat them with respect and kindness.
Their is a 10-1 women to men ration in the Ukraine. For what ever reason,…many men in the Ukraine have a drinking issue, they Love their Vodka!!. Many ladies their do not like this. So,…if you are realistic, not living a fanasty!!
Like a 60 year old man chasing a 22 year old lady!! You have all the odds in your favor to meet the women of your dreams. Is Anastasia a scam,….I can not say yes or no. But, ladies are responsible for their own actions!!
Unfortunately,…if a ladies scams a man he meet from their site. It looks badly on Anastasia. Not all ladies,100%, have real sincere intensions. Common since will tell you this, but if you set standard/guidelines about age and English speaking skills of the lady. You can push your success possibilities up greatly. I am 44 years old, while I was on this site. I refused to spend my time and money getting to know ladies 18-25.
I just did not feel this was realistic!! I did not even feel ok to chat or write ladies 26-28. Only 2, I still had reservations about their age. Over time,…for me… it seemed that ladies at the age of 30 and older, were much more serious about meeting a man to have a relationship with.
Most of the 18-25 are in clubs every weekend!! By ignoring all ladies under the age of 30, requireing the lady to speak English. I meet the lady of my dreams!! I was very lucky on the very first try!!
I can tell you from a personal friends experience in Nikoleav and Odessa, the lack of communication due to the language, is a Mountain you might never be abel to climb. It is very easy to get carried away on this site when 20-25 year old beautiful ladies are writing a 44 year old man.
If you are not careful and choose wisely, you will get your heart and Bank Account broken!!
Good luck to all who read this, best of luck!!
I have some information about anastasiadate.com that I believe proves their business is corrupt. I have briefly read some of your article about the company in the past where you have described things like their fee structure for different services:
(http://ukrainiandatingblog.com/2013/11/ukraine-dating-sites-marriage-agencies-mediators-relationship-top-flop-part-1/),
And how there is conflicting anecdotal evidence on the web about if their company is fraudulent or not: (http://ukrainiandatingblog.com/2011/10/all-anastasia-brides-fake-paid-registering-chatting/).
However, I think I can prove that at least some of their business practices are dishonest. In this email, I will show you how you can see this for yourself. You will need to create a male member profile on the site though – just an email and a user name are required. Don’t bother filling out the character description or anything else beyond the minimum to gain access to the site.
There is no doubt in my mind that at least some (maybe most) of the ‘chat invitation’ messages inviting male members to live chat are computer generated. You can tell because the computer, well, stuffs up this fraudulent process.
For example, a woman may ask to initiate chat by saying she loves your profile – even when there aren’t any photos or words in your profile. Or an identical ‘chat invitation’ message may be sent, by two different women, one straight after the other. This is a rarer ‘stuff up’, but I have an image of this event saved on my computer – let me know if you want me to send it to you.
Also, as anastasiadate.com currently has a promotion on in which the first three minutes of chat are free, it is currently possible to receive a ‘chat invitation’ from a woman, open the chat window, but not reply (replying to the message starts the 3 minute trial of the service). Sometimes, if you leave such a chat window open and walk away from your computer for a couple of hours, the same ‘chat invitation’ appears in the message box four or five times verbatim, suggesting that the message is being sent by a robot rather than a woman.
Some profiles are fake – and they are really easy to spot, if you know how to search for it.
For example, on asianbeauties.com, another site which belongs to the same company as anastasiadate, Yana’s (asianbeauties ID: 1221290) “Character” text is almost identical to Tingting’s (asianbeauties ID: 1217160).
Yana writes (quote):
Hi, the words from the bottom of my heart ,to the special one who I will share all my rest life together with *^_^*
I am a very faithful girl who is romantic, who has a loving heart, who has a good sense of humor, with me in your life ..Only happiness and love will around you.. If you do not trust i .. I am a girl who is loving, kind, caring, honest, and playful, enjoys life, and loves having fun. Then take the chance and check by yourself 🙂
I want to find someone that is willing to open his heart as I am willing to open mine that the two hearts may beat as one.

My name is Alisa, I am a very faithful girl who is romantic, who has a loving heart, who has a good sense of humor, with me in your life .. Only happiness and love will around you .. If you do not trust it .. Then take the chance and check by yourself 🙂
I want to find someone that is willing to open his heart as I am willing to open mine that the two hearts may beat as one.
So will you be the special one?
(End quote)
So you can see, it appears that the character description of these two ladies has only been changed very slightly, but in essence, are identical.
(You can use your Anastasia date name and password to gain access to Asian beauties. I’m sure you worked that out on your own.)
On these websites, the male users have to pay credits to view videos of the women. It is possible to estimate how many women have a video attached to their profile, using the search function of the website. The results are below:
--Profiles in anastasiadate: 33512
--Profiles in anastasiadate with video: 8422
--Percentage: 26%
--Profiles in amolatina: 8956
--Profiles in amolatina with video: 2048
--Percentage: 22%
--Profiles in asianbeauties: 41317
--Profiles in asianbeauties with video: 13337
--Percentage: 32%
--Profiles in africanbeauties: 8949
--Profiles in africanbeauties with video: 1151
--Percentage: 13%
It would seem strange that the percentage of women with a profile video is only 32% at best.
Unfortunately, (for anastasiadate and the other websites, not so much us) it is possible to view a female member’s video without paying credits for it by manipulating the web address used to load it. In doing this, you learn many of the videos are devoid of any meaningful content about the women, which is sad.
Take Nataliya’s (AnastasiaDate ID: 1760884) video Reading a Book for instance¬. It shows Nataliya, um, reading a book. Fascinating. The only thing that provides more insight into a woman’s personality than a video of a girl doing nothing more than reading, are those videos of them doing nothing but ironing. I’m sure you agree.
In all seriousness, there appears to be a formula to many of the profile videos on the site. First of all, the woman in the video will say something like: “Hello! My name is (name). My profile is only on (website, e.g. anastasiadate.com)”. Then the video will show the girl doing whatever the title of the video states (cooking, walking outside, posing, doing housework, etc.).
My criticism is that these sorts of videos do not give any deep insight into what the girl is about. Why have such a superficial video on your profile at all? Could the sole reason be just to make money?
If you would like to see some of these videos, I can send you some. Maybe I could even send you the web code that allows you to look at them yourself, if you promise to only use it for the purposes of niceness.
Once a male member has created a profile on anastasiadate.com (or any of the other dating websites mentioned above) that member will begin to receive unsolicited emails from the female members of the site which expand a little bit on the details they have placed in their profiles.
This is the case even if the male member has left his profile description empty. So basically, when you sign up, they spam your email inbox, possibly crowding out any women who have taken the time to write a meaningful letter.
The girls who have their profile on anastasiadate.com receive a discount benefits card which they can use to receive discounts on goods sold in Ukraine. You can read the details of the program here: http://www.svadba.com/club/
So, the question is which girls are members of anastasiadate because they want to find love, and how many only signed up because they wanted the benefits card?
As far as I am aware, anastasiadate.com, and the sites similar to it, does not publish the number of couples which arise from their service, beyond the anecdotes which appear of their website.
Finally, to my knowledge, anastasiadate has not had its business practices audited by any external party to assess if its business practices are in keeping with any benchmark. Troubling, anastasiadate.com appears to police its own anti-scam policy, so who is to say how effective it is?
Regards,
That said, they have mostly been quite attractive, with adult children. I think they are believably looking for a man to form a relationship.
Younger women in their thirties, with small children still at home looking for a father for their children. Also many avery pretty, and I can believe that they are willing to give an older man a chance, especially if he can help them leave Ukraine, and hopefully provide a better future for their children. As to the longevity of such a match, I don’t know how optimistic to be.
I’d be very cautious, and in any case, though I am in excellent health, sexually active, and in a very secure financial position, I wouldn’t think that such a relationship would survive very long.
Out of the hundreds of messages I have received, only one of them appeared to be genuinely written especially to me, by someone who had actually read my profile.
I also share the skepticism of those who doubt the sincerity of the girls on the chat area, though. If I performed a search on a glamorous young gal who was attempting to chat with me, I invariably found that she was not interested in men my age. So why the chat?
I also think that there is considerable interest in leaving (especially Eastern Ukraine), and many girls are willing to do or promise anything to do so. I think one must see clearly that any such relationship is not likely to succeed.
Consider: if you are a 5, I think you would be well-advised to steer clear of 10’s. However, as a Western man, you do offer some advantages. So be realistic, and you might just find a sincere, wonderful 7-8, who would make any spoiled western woman seem like chopped liver.
Finally, as I speak Russian, I don’t really have any problems with talking directly to Russians/Ukrainians, but I was curious about the site.
I speak Russian (i.e. I am very well understood by Ukrainians who are in essence all fluent in Russian) and know my way around there quite well, i.e. no naive or easy to be fooled American etc.
AnastasiaDate is a cleverly structured and cleverly operated yet still a FAKE business and $$ milking scheme with nothing to offer as far as actually communicating with any bona fide dating/marriage interested females in Ukraine or Russia.
Also notice: There are no, even pretended “success stories” on their website …. Because there are no real in person dates taking place to start with.
You are in essence lead to waste your credit card charges on silly online “chat” where you do not communicate with females interested in finding a date, not to mention a marriage candidate.
Females – and some males – are just typing – in general non-committal, idle blah-blah of shallow, routine nature with the only and sole objective: to keep the clock running and your “credits” you naively purchased AND are in bait-and-switch illegal trick “automatically” billed for in $20 steps.
In essence, the “noble” AnastadiaDate is credit card on or beyond law-edge milking operation similar to porno-sites.
Women are not real and there is NONE of them actually interested in meeting you over there because this is not why AnastasiaDate is in business.
And if you are so persistent and travel to the town where your make-believe “lady” supposedly resides and ask to meet her (again via $$ billing, credit card charges clicking website of AD) you will get:
--made up excuses why she is not available to meet you at the best - when you are really horny for this fake operation and you are still spending $$
--via AD "chat" while in a hotel over there, they send you a "sweeper" a "step-in" for that beautiful girl you "know" from your online chats.
FCC and Australian authorities should have taken this operation out of business long time ago.
How do I know this I do biometrics facial recognition iris recognition I can tell the difference between a pre-recorded video in a live video I found 95% of all videos put out from Russianbride.com Anastasiadate.com and charmdate.com I also hired private investigators and had a lot of government officials friends of mine from the Ukrainian government help me in this experiment.
What this mafia own company does which is out of Moscow in offices in New York City for the United States they should be close down by the Attorney General’s office. They are purposely fraudulently taking a vantage of you.
Most girls can be found on VK Instagram and Facebook Instagram you can track their locations and there are times where they’re at each picture they take so how can they be online live when they’re in Hong Kong with their boyfriend at a market?
True also Anastasia date controls flowers presents and gifts with a bout a 500% markup why do they do this because this way they can have the girl come in get their flowers take a picture leave the flowers and go back to their boyfriends that’s right the majority are already married or have a live-in boyfriend’s I have proof 100% proof I had private investigators follow the girls I was also able to get their passports cell phone cell phone records their boyfriends names their cell phone numbers and much more.
I also videotaped and check all algorithms against the pictures and found out the videos are 100% the same videos they switched him off every three days the girls will pop in once every two weeks and A live session.
Then they will leave again get paid money in the fake girls will take over.
Anastasia date always tries to blame the girl like it’s the girl who’s doing the fraud when in fact It’s 100% them same with charm date hundred percent them all who is interested in doing a class action lawsuit please contact me is time to put the scumbags out of business.
AnastasiaDate Experience: Isn’t it odd that every other dating site that is legitimate does not forbid the exchange of contact details between its members but AD does.
AD tries to claim some marriage act forbids it to release such information. Utter BS! If that were true then every other dating site would be in breach of the law for permitting the exchange of contact details. And even if there were such a law as I am not an American it does not apply to me!
Isn’t it odd that as soon as I log on to AD I immediately get chat requests with phrases and questions that no woman could type so quickly.
That means they are auto responders that send out chat prompts to men logging on. Then when I asked an AD woman what she just sent to me she has no idea what was sent to me prior to my sending my first message back to her.
Isn’t it odd that if I have already corresponded with a woman on AD and then just a week later I engage in chat with her she has no idea who I am.
It’s as though she is completely and utterly clueless of me. If she truly wrote me the letter personally herself surely she would remember my profile and therefore start the chat session following on with what I had written to her in my letter. But again she is utterly clueless!
I am not against AD in any way. I realize now it is nothing more than a pay for chat service. The women get what they want out of it, the men think they are searching for a prospective future wife but will never actually find her there and the site operators well they are laughing all the way and making a fortune out of it. Good luck to them and the women if that makes you think you are providing a valuable service to humanity!
I now no longer buy credits on AD and have left the site. I wish it was a real site as many women there are absolutely stunning but I know it is not what it is promoting itself to be.
AD Customer Service please don’t bother replying to this comment as nothing you say will change the experience that I encountered on your site over more than one year.
And I still see many of the same profiles on the AD site as they had up over 2 or 3 years ago. If those attractive women were sincerely searching for a husband from a foreign country they would NOT still be single years later writing the same stupid letters and the same stupid chat comments “I am here for love, what you here for?” and “Are you here only for 3 minutes?”
Because you get the first three minutes for free now but then that means those women don’t get any benefit out of it either unless they entice you to speak to them beyond those three minutes. If they got no money or rewards or prizes, or whatever out of it then why do many women ask me if I will even speak to them beyond that time or those that get frustrated with me if I don’t.
If you really want to find a wife from the Ukraine it would be cheaper to buy an airplane ticket and book an apartment for 3 to 6 months and go there and place an ad in their local magazines or social media sites or go to the bars and mingle.
You will surely have more luck and FUN that way than through AD via their stupid chat service where you can barely write a few sentences and you have been charged $8 to $10 for the session as it costs so much per minute depending on the exchange rate you are in as well.
There is a usefull website vk.com which is basicly the russian version of facebook. You can track down all ladies there because this website has a detailed search engine which allows you to look on name, city and date of birth…..
I tracked down more than 40 anastasia ladies there, ladies who sent me letters thru the anastasiadate that they liked me very much bla bla bla….and guess what, NONE of these ladies replied to me or wanted to talk to me on that VK network. Some of them were married even.
There was a nice girl who did talk to me but she only went to the agency for a free photoshoot but never sent any letter there. When i showed her the letter ‘she’ wrote to me, she had to laugh because her father would kill her if she would marry a foreigner…hahaha
I have made screenshots of all the fake profiles for legal purposes.
I will not go into details
I am on this site near 3 years now, I never has spent one cent for any chat or email in this time. I only have analyzed what is real and what is not real in this dating site. I know many what is wrong here, also some woman, are not real here. I have checked this site also with my friends, the software and more.
There are many emails in my name, never send from me. Also when woman try to start a chat with me, the same second the same woman start a chat with my friends, the same words, only the name is changed to my friends name, good software. I know advertisement and marketing very well and this site has a very good software to make only profit with stupid men.
When my friends register here and write only first time the name and birthday in the profile, no picture nothing, after some hours more than 70 emails was send to my friends inbox. Also many women starting direct the live chat, what a joke.
I know real woman from Russia and the Ukraine, this woman will never do like this, this woman much more intelligent and educated then this page and the software. Also it is very clear that this software send the emails and start live chats himself and not a woman, like I see this myself again and again with the emails that was send with my name. How can somebody trust this dating site?
I know that here also real woman that want to have a real partnership and trust this dating site and that all is real, all what I can say and that is the truth, many is not real here and the honest woman and man will be cheated to make money.
1. Most of the girls are real, but names are fake. Cannot tell how many because I did not talk to 2,000 of them.
2. The girls are used by the site, given offers of pay with the chance to meet a foreign man who will take them out of their poverty.
3. All girls clearly get paid and several have told me so. The pay is a portion of the “take” that the men spend. That is why the pretty or sexy girls take 30 seconds to respond to a chat and plain Jane girls respond in 5 seconds. The pretty girls know the men will wait and that waiting eats up credits men pay for.
4. Several apologized to me because they need money, and they do this dragging out the time to make more money. Those are only there for pay and there is no chance they will actually meet the man even when they say they will.
5. You can tell you are being scammed like this when the girl in chat says “I don’t understand” or “what do you mean”, and you see long delays. Those girls are forcing men to use double the time to repeat what they said the first time, to eat up time.
6. The reports of satisfied customers are fraudulent. Because Krystyna sees a report of a man does not mean he exists. The site makes up these reports and posts them all over the web. This Krystyna is either legitimate and has never met these satisfied customers, or more likely she does not exist, and is herself a scam created by Anastasia to publish Green stars for fake satisfied customers as another clever form of advertising to give the impression of legitimacy.
I send this to see if Krystyna will publish this entire piece and do it in large type, or if she is a “plant” by Elena and a fake who will not publish this.
7. I have actually paid hundreds of dollars in letters and chat several times, until the girls agreed to give me their private email address to avoid the costs and plan a trip and personal meeting. The girls agree so their scam will not be discovered, because they also get paid when the man makes a phone call to get the private contact.
However, on the phone the girls give a fake address, or they give a real address and confirm with one private email and never write again.
8. The site sends out automatic letters purporting to be from the girls. But the girls do not send them, and do no write their own profiles, It is all fraud.
9. The owner Elena in Georgia undertook clever steps to try to hide herself, and instituted a contract form in November 2015 that purports to waive liability for any claims against the site because the fraud is getting very obvious and its girls are now advertising computer sex. But those waivers are uniformly ruled to be unenforceable with allegations of fraud, so she remains personally liable no matter what shell she uses.
Elena also commits fraud by representing that she has a US corporation to give legitimacy when that too, is fake.
She is being investigated now for creating fake and misleading information in response to the federal law that is supposed to prevent fraud by men, because the source of the threat to the American public is the deliberate professional scheme of fraud by the site, bilking over $100 million from Americans.
Evidence of fraud by this site using innocent girls has been recorded through letters and screen shots and phone recordings for the past year for the purpose of a potential proceeding against this Elena and her alter egos.
10. In March 2016 their price for a phone call when up from $28 to $100 because men are getting wise to the clever chat charges and calling girls quickly to short-cut the charges.
But in those phone calls the translators give deliberately false numbers to force several calls at $100 each and repeat numbers 5 times to drag out the time on the call to end it before a simple phone number or email is exchanged. So it now costs $300 for multiple calls to get one good number.
The only way to avoid that scam is to learn Russian and avoid the translator. Even then the translator takes control and refuses to allow a conversation and adds false translations. They appear to get a bonus for interfering.
11. The site refuses to translate letters as written, and takes out material to prevent couples from meeting. That means some of the women are real and they want to meet men, but they are stopped.
12. The site monitors chats and refuses to allow chat information to go through that could lead to a meeting like, what part of town do you live?
The girl will not be allowed to see those words because it could lead to a meeting. Those girls are genuine, and they will answer, and that is why the site stops the transmissions.
13. A man has a better chance at meeting a genuine girl who wants to get out of war zone like Lugansk or the Moon like Uzbekistan. But no chance to meet a real girl from Kiev or Kharkov. And no one is going to fly to Uzbekistan to meet a girl for lunch. Those girls are being used so the site can advertise high numbers.
14. The pretty girls know they are committing fraud, and get paid for it, and that they will never meet the men they chat with, except for a few renegade girls who may try to meet a man and are then punished by the site for going around the blockades.
And the cruises and trips are no better: the girls get paid as long as they do not create a relationship outside the careful structure of the formal trip. Just like houses of prostitution.
15. The principals of the site, therefore, have created a wide and slick training camp to create thousands of girls who all engage in the same type of prostitution. Al Capone would be jealous because the site makes more money through this fraud than he did robbing banks.
16. The purpose of sites like this one, Krystyna’s, is not to help any man do anything, but an early warning beacon to inform Elena at Anastasia when her fraud scheme is so obvious as it has become since the November disclaimer and the March phone call price increase, that they need to institute damage control to side-step prosecution.
Ukraine has an agreement with the United States to cooperate with investigations like this one and there is no shortage of girls in Ukraine to be witnesses of the scheme. Anastasia cannot prevent the testimony of 2,000 girls to verify the points provided here.
You already can deduct this from the outrages prices of their “services”. e.g. about 4 euro’s for sending a letter to a girl and again the same amount for reading the reply.
For chatting with a girl the charge is about 40 cents (10 credits) for every minute. Now a bit substantial chat is easily about 30 minutes, so about 12 euro’s. They say it cost that much because of the premium service. Of course a non-argument because it is just the lines that have to be good and when you complain about a connection they immediately say that they are not responsible for the ladies connection quality.
Another sign is that you get spammed with letters of young girls (and I am in my 50 ties) in their twenties and below. Answer of the site is that these girls just are seeking for their soulmate, bla, bla.
Another sign. I have had until now frequently chat and lettercontact with a lady who wrote to me a letter at the very beginning I was at the site. She, as all others, was seeking for a man, a soulmate. After many letters and chats (and so a lot of money) I wanted also contact outside of the site, at first instance by privat mail. You can only exchange private addresses or contact information when you send (by Anastasiadate) a present to the girl.
All other attemts to write your private address or mailadres is just censored. In letters and in chats (They really censore your messages) With that present you can write a note with all you want, so also contact addresses.
Now also the presents are ridiculous in price. For a little bottle of perfume you have to pay about 200 euro, flowers and fruitbaskets not much less.
The girl I meant and of who I was very fond and she was fond of me (she told repeatedly) sent me indeed occainsionly a short message, but preferred to be at the site. And she preferred chatting instead of letters. But after a while I just asked to have chat contact outside the site, by Skype or maybe Whatsapp, or whatever. But she was hesitating about it. Than one day I sent her a link to the Russian Skype site.
The excuse I became was that she had pushed the link and than she became a virus on her computer and her computer just crashed and she had to repair him. So she decided that she would not do it and would stay only on the Anastasia site, to chat with me. To my question what computer she now was using because I saw her regularly online, she told it was her neighbours computer.
Now this experience I have had in more or less the same way with 2 other ladies, who all said they were looking for a man, who all were very fond of me, did not want to lose me, etc.
The remark of you Krystyna, that the site must be ok, not a total scam, because otherwise it would not exist so long, is a bit naïve I think. Every man using the site to search a woman, is mosltly very vulnerable and does not want to see at first instance that it is just fake. He wants to keep up the romantic idea, likes the adoration that women speak out towards him, does not want to spoil that great dream.
When it comes to the realization that all was a ” ïdee fix” they stand alone, have no real proof of scamming or criminal intentions. Where should they go to? Anastasiadate just denies and say they are honest, have good intentions and ask for proof.
If you have proof of individual cases the site just blames the girl and their “agency” and just delete the girls profile. They than say that their anti-scam policy works well and that they take action when their is proof. You can do nothing to them if you are alone. Many man know this of course and just leave the site. And new man are coming as customers and have to experience it all again by their selves.
Their is no independent tool to measure the results of Anastasiadate, I mean in terms of succeses of matching. The only party who maybe could give such figures I Anastasiadate. You can guess how accurate these figures than could be..
They earn millions and can easily take legal action when needed against individual persons. And what if legal action by a individual is taken? What is the proof? Where has he to go? They have an address (I think just a postbox because of low tax obligations in Cyprus) and their organisation is in Moscou.
So what could you do? And on top of that. An organisation who makes millions wants to defend it. So I would not be surprised that a lot of the positive comments of that side are also fake, so posted by the site itself.
The whole Anti-fraud department they say they have is to create the image they are reliable, etc. It is all so decorated to distracted.
Only thing that could be done is action, demasking the site, the organisation by gathering as much as possible proof and try to let federal, government or better government law organisations take action to this site. Another thing to do is gathering as much as possible disappointing users of the site and build up a website and publish with evidence all what is wrong, so damask them.
Would like to see complaints, experiences of others.
I have spent over $2000 on chats, most of them pretty meaningless and not leading to anything.
In summary, I would say this:
On AnastasiaDate (being honest or a scam), the actual information a male can put in a profile is very limited.
It would be much nicer and helpful if the profile on both the male and female side would be more comprehensive. So if AD was really serios about match-making, they would allow both of men and women to describe themselves better.
AnastasiaDate does send out automated letters and automated (“fake”) chat requests. One day I had seven letters within a matter of minutes, although my profile was empty.
I also get chat requests that say how much they enjoyed my profile, although there I appear 112 years old without any info in the fields.
This is totally counter-productive and a huge disservice to the serious ladies there. There is also no way of disabling the chat requests. You get invites from ladies who don’t match your search criteria at all, which is a total waste.
Sure, their translation service is appreciated, but you never know what of your letter actually arrives in a translated form on the other side – and vice versa. Chatting is expensive and can be very aggravating when there are delays in the reply, as the clock just keeps ticking.
Paying 10 credits (between $3-$7.5) for photos attached to your letter is also not exactly cheap. So, don’t go there if money is an issue. Although I do have the money, I always felt pressurised when chatting to ladies, hence my efforts to continue off-site.
The ultimate test if a woman is real and really interested in you is in how she responds to you asking her to take the communication off-site to Facebook, Skype or email. If she doesn’t, and language is not an issue, then you know she’s not really into you, otherwise she would make an effort.
I had contact with about 50 of them, of which I have 3 on Facebook, of which 2 are too young and one doesn’t speak English very well. That alone speaks volumes. (I ‘gave’ all of them my name and told them that I am an open book on the Internet – just google my name and you will see.
So they could see what I do and what I am about, before getting in touch.)
Many ladies are afraid to give out their personal details, because they think it’s not allowed. I checked with AnastasiaDate, and they said that it’s ok to exchange details. Their website only says that they are not allowed to share contact details in the profile, which obviously makes sense.
Words like google or Facebook get out, which is also hindering communication. Obviously AD wants to keep men on site and chatting, but once again, this is neither fair nor conducive.
Women who engage on AnastasiaDate should be properly informed that the site’s language is English, and that their chances of finding the right man are pretty much NIL if they don’t speak at least some English.
They should also be informed about Western culture and about the cost the man incurs when on the site, because they – at least – said – to me – that they don’t know that the man pays.
There is info on the Net, where you can see that they recruit women to chat with me. So it’s less about love and more about money. After all, all those professional studio and nature shots with expensive clothes need to be paid for.
I know a girl who now has 11 videos online, is up late all night at the agency office and gets upset when I tell her that she’s after the money. 18 years old! She should sleep at night, not chat to men whose language she doesn’t even speak.
So that’s just a bit of feedback from me.
Yes, Anastasia does use their anti-scam program and if proven reimburses fees or costs. I wrote to, chatted and meet with a lady over four years but on trips to Odessa was very standoffish (un affectionate) and avoided commitment but yes had fallen for her. Now like most scams….” can’t meet going to care for sick Aunty in Russia))))
One day while in chat I did an instant call. Trust me, this works beautifully. She answered)). Ready though her answer, ”Hi…oh I just arrived in Odessa”. Me, ” when did you arrive Odessa?” Her, “Today”.
Now switch back to the chat screen type. “Elena, where are you?”. Elena answers, ”I tell you Russia”
Ron: What you doing?
Elena: Walk with sick Aunty. now back in apartment!
Ron: Oh how’s the weather in Russia?
Elena: Not nice cold. Now switch back to phone call…
Ron: So Elena you are in Odessa?
Elena: Yes…”da” …
Ron: So who is chatting to me on line now telling me all about your day in Russia?
Elena: What you talking about?? Switch to chat…
Ron: Who are you? I am talking to Elena now on phone in Odessa.
You guessed it)))…. Straight off line.
Now whose is lying…Anastasia? Agency, lady,.. Conclusion all to a degree as the all are making money.
I took screen shots and phone times and numbers, and complained, now to their credit Anastasia reimbursed over $4000. This must of hurt but it’s a drop in the hat when I think of the hours away from work, flights, travelling 30 hours each way on flights, dinners, etc. etc. I am lucky money is money but I “HATE” scams.
Pop ups are computer programmed. Not real. Ladies are paid to be on cam (by agents, not necessary Anastasia). Agencies’ translators write the letters to you, not the woman. Until it gets serious, the Ukrainian woman you think you are writing too has no idea until you talk about meeting or try to call. If you try to call and they cannot get I touch with the woman, then she is busy, ill or out of the city on business, have don’t have jobs interesting??
Many women get paid by agencies to keep their profiles on. Think about it a beautiful woman is great for Anastasia if also gives the agents (distributors) more power with Anastasia. So it’s not their interest to lose any.
Many woman are on multiple sites regardless of Anastasia’s stance…really so what. So are you! So… Chat is a waste of time…complete lies and the biggest scam. Letters are very close to chat!! Everything as already stated … is to keep you away from personal contact and exchange of personal details.
Ok so write but have quick plan to come during tour. And see who meets… Phone… in they don’t want to exchange phone or e-mail details. Ditch them as the all have two phones and e-mail… Don’t accept excuses.
There are many genuine women here…but it’s hard to navigate the corrupt agencies. Other scams experienced… Chats by agents or translators. Letters as above. Meetings arranged where woman knows nothing of the ten letters previously exchanged. Woman using other woman side ties to communicate…you are not talking to who you think you are!! Interpreters’ friends split money with the woman. On and on…
How do I know??? Five years thousands of dollars later… good friends with two x interpreters from Anastasia and two women who have left the site disillusioned with the lies they were asked to adhere to.
I have met some nice ladies but in reflection using this site to do it was not worth it.
I was shocked to see that she had a profile on the AnastasiaDate site, which I discovered soon after I returned home.
I complained to the AnastasiaDate site, and basically the AnastasiaDate staff told me to prove it. Ha! I replied the best I could, with photos from our date to confirm the woman’s identity and with a copy of her hand-written phone number so you could call her directly.
I also provided some of the stories she told of her football star husband, whom I briefly met when he came in the taxi to pick up the 2 girls at the end of our date. I thought the AnastasiaDate staff could call her up and confront her with the story details, the photos, etc…
Instead, AnastasiaDate finally wrote me 2 weeks later and said the girl provided a copy of her passport which proved that she was not married. Ha again! Probably a 3 month old copy from before her wedding! No refunds or sympathy from the AnastasiaDate site.
I continued to use the AnastasiaDate site, with more caution, but I only found heavily-photoshopped photos, “pro daters” just like the earlier complaint from the doctor above, and “no-show” women who disappear when I finally make it to Ukraine.
In my journeys to Ukraine, I even met an agency owner who told me his agency does not want real dates, just letter-writing and chat. He doesn’t want to lose the revenue generated by his most popular girls, so he lets them keep half of the money the translator receives for the date.

In other words, after the date, the girls “go around the corner” and split the proceeds. They even have a term for this – “quick money” – a perk for the girl for working up the chats and writing the letters.
From my experiences with the AnastasiaDate site, I would lower the AnastasiaDate estimate of good girls from 99% to under 50%. Basically, it’s a cesspool of scamming, pro-dating and insincerity. Too bad most men don’t realize it until they are victims with much lighter wallets and broken hearts.
Please let me introduce myself. My name is Paul and I am from Mexico City.
I have had some scam experiences from Ukraine (Lugansk and Odessa). I would like to ask you if there is a possibility that real Ukrainian girls are really serious to marry a Western man. Where and how we can meet them?
All Ukrainian girls registered on Anatasiadate.com I met were fake, not real. All the girls are too young and they are not serious about to get married. Girls pretend not to speak English in order to get an interpreter and get money.
That is the business; they receive the 50% of the fee of what the interpreters receive for their jobs. The others business are, high rates of taxi drivers (must of the girls have their own taxi driver), expensive restaurants, and ask for gifts. Anastasiadate.com is not a company; it is a group of local agencies that get the girls. The business on line are the letters, chats and video chats. We need to pay for all of that.
Most of the letters are not written by the girls, there are many girls that work for these agencies as translators. I saw them when I got into one of these agencies in Odessa.
Thanks Krystyna and I really appreciate your help.
Have a great day.
I purchased your guide and have found it to be invaluable. I’m a very good looking man who just seeks to find a beautiful woman with simpler values than I can find in the US. I’ve grown tired of all the lies and scheming in the US, so I’ve begun looking elsewhere in the world. I’m world traveled, so I do have a basis of experience in many parts of the world, but not Ukraine.
I’ve found a number of my favorite women from Anastasiadate.com on VK.com and have communicated with them. Unfortunately, not one of them says they are on AnastasiaDate.com.
The usual report is that someone paid them for modeling and now uses their identity for the dating service… and they get no royalties or have any contact with anyone. A couple of girls even tried to find a way to stop the use of their name but were told they had no legal right since its a US based company.
Thank You,
I hope you can read this message. My name is Marcelo, I am 26 years old and speak of São Paulo City, Brazil. Sometime I found AnastasiaDate on the internet and I signed up without knowing it (no sources of it in Brazil). The result: in just under 3 months, 2 months of account activity I received around 200 messages of girls from Eastern Europe.
Dear Marcelo.
I understand that there must be many women who want to start their communication with you. But I truly hope that you will open this letter and understand that a person who is writing to you can make your life bright and happy.” – “I am interested in you and it would be a great pleasure for me to know you better. Let me do the first step in hope that we will continue correspondence and I will hear from you soon.” (sic)
Dear Marcelo.
If love and passion are your desires you must realize that I am your woman! If you desire hot romantic nights and even days, then I am your woman! And if you want to have a romantic crazy love that defies all rational behavior, but yet is meaningful and true, then I am your woman! I you can be kind, caring, loving, passionate and always faithful and looking for someone who feels the same, then I am here! No need to write a million letters, just knock on my door and say you will love me forever! The rest will be history of the greatest love story, full of desire, passion, and love! hugs and kisses and so much more. Yours, Yana” (sic)
Dear Marcelo.
I am new on this site.And I’m looking for my soul mate here.I think its great time for me to find a husband. How are you today?? I like your profile and photo very much.)) You are great and handsome man.))) Do you like to travel))))))))))))) Have you ever been in Kiev? You are welcome to come to Kiev!I can show you around. Take care. Kisses. Maria.” (sic)
A charming Ukrainian girl is writing to you, my Prince! I am looking for a man who would really respect a woman in the highest degree, who would become a caring and loving partner of mine, and I believe in OUR love!!!!!" (sic)
All these messages comes from gorgeous women. Beautiful, with this additional availability, with huge messages to someone you do not know can only be a lie. I always thought this a scam and I never gave importance.
The lack of information about this in Brazil and anyone with consciousness believe it may not have some truth to that. By appearing to be more surreal, reading your blog I saw that there may be some truth to that. You must have the minimum criteria, but there may be some truth in this service. As written in a post, it is unlikely that a website with almost 20 years of existence is a lie and I believe in this.
I want to thank you for being my first reliable source to talk about AnastasiaDate.
By the way, believes in some of these posts? What you think about that? Can you give me your opinion?
Thank you so much!
I have been using the website AnastasiaDate.com for a while. Last month, I made a trip to Odessa. Tried to arrange some meetings and something that I am not quite understand.
Case 1: Had very pleasant online chat with 3 ladies. They promised to meet and they stood me up. There is one even stood me up twice.
Case 2: One lady I have very promising letters and chat. When we met, she is stone cold and I sense very negative attitude from the beginning. The only smile I saw is when the meeting is over. The interpreter is not very good and she said she is from other town. At the end of meeting the lady ask the interpreter to ask me for taxi money. I give her 200 Uah and she ask for more so I give her another 100 Uah.
Case 3: A lady took me to an Italian restaurant. Ordered wine, caviar and seafood. The meal costed 4000 Uah (around $400). I wonder it is normal in Ukraine for the first date. Of course I also need to pay around 1000 Uah for the interpreter.
Case 4: A lady which I had a few letters before which is pretty cold actually. When we met, she become more friendly and she speak some English. However, apart from the interpreter, there is also a young man claimed to be her brother. She took me to a seafood restaurant. That meal costed 3000 Uah.
Since I have another meeting, this one only last for three hours. But she offered to me a few days later at 10 pm. I wait for her at the place she set and the first one showing up is another interpreter, then the lady and her brother. (interpreter and brother again) Another big meal, of course.
I am leaving the next day and have to leave for airport by 4 pm. She called at 1 pm and said she want to spend time with me before I left. She asked me to go to some shopping mall and tell me she will be there by 3 pm. At 3:10 pm, she called and said she is sitting in a Japanese Restaurant. When I get there, she and her brother is there. After a while, I said I need to go so I put down 500 Uah.
She said let her check the orders and she said they ordered about 600 something Uah and she need taxi money as she took taxi to come to see me so I put down another 500 Uah.
Please give me your opinion as to whether a normal date with Ukrainian Ladies would be like this.
After having a few experiences myself and reading some of those reviews, I decided to tell about some of my own experiences with women met on Anastasiadate.com.
Two years ago, I had contact with a girl from Moldova, but we didn’t manage to meet at all – I waited for about ½ hour at McDonald’s after receiving her suggestion about a meeting; but she didn’t show up.
Since I shortly after got the opportunity to meet with another girl I had corresponded with, this time in Ukraine, I decided not to hang around in Moldova but rather continue my trip to Ukraine right away and meet with this other girl.
We spent a couple of hours together during three days in a row – first day was a relatively expensive dinner, too – her interpreter and female friend were there as well – and the next couple of days we went to a park and had a reasonable breakfast. It didn’t work out however, and after a while we stopped corresponding.
As of this moment I’ve just met a third girl in Ukraine. We walked through the pedestrian lanes initially and had something as simple as a pizza later, and the next day we met again, taking another walk as the day before.
I got her cell phone number the first day and even her mail address the next, so we have the opportunity to communicate by other means now; not just via Anastasiadate, which – in my opinion – is relatively expensive.
Anyway, now I have to make the choice about paying for her passport and visa, as well as her loss of income when she’s going to meet me some time soon. I trust her though; she was very genuine when we met and the look in her eyes and her smile when we had that pizza, told me a enough to place my bets on this girl.
I’ve heard and read quite a lot about scamming and I’ve even corresponded with some from Russia – one girl suddenly wanted me to send money so that her grandmother could have an operation. Of course I refused this instantly and shortly after we broke contact.
One of my friends happened to chat with a girl from Africa for some time – he later sent her some 1.500 USD so she could come to Denmark, and he never heard from her again.
Anyway, I have a good feeling about the girl I’ve just met. She seems genuine and honest, and I believe it’s impossible to fake the look in her eyes and that smile – the look that told me she had to be the one. c”,)

Review Last Updated: January 27, 2023
Anastasia Date & Nastasha’s Club
If you VKed these girls, 85% of them have boyfriends already.
Language skills are posted by the lady so AD does not need to take responsibility.
The girls are offered prizes and competition based certain factors like credits collected, new memberships and so on. It is pushed down to the portal agency who gather good looking girls who compete for Iphones, flowers, and such. If it is at the local, then AD can state denial of the practices of the girl at the agency.
Since I stayed in Ukraine, I met some girls who I knew were getting married that weekend, but wanted some extra dough.
AD is quick to get rid the girls who fail.
Girls who I know were on the site were prostitutes in Dominican Republic, Married women, engaged women, Married & Pregnant, mistresses for local married man, strippers, and so on. Lots of good party girls especially Nikolaev and Odessa.
Come guys, why do you think that Miss Teenage Ukrainian Contestant would be on that site?

AnastasiaDate.com
I was married to Ukraine Woman Yanina Ivanchuk on both of these sites. It was a bad marriaage from the start and lasted 15 days before I filed for devorce. On Anasatasia she is up to 60 years old and on other site to 80 years old.
I have never seen a person lie so much. I was blinded by her.
When married she went to work everyday and had no job. She did have friends on the side. It was a scam from the start just for money. I will never make this mistake again.
The 29 year age difference was to much and I should have know better. I will ask now why you let women like this on your site. She is just there trying to scam.
I wish you luck and hope you stay away from this woman

With all due respect, you should be ashamed of yourself and your lawyers are guiding you to operate on the very edge and for practical reasons often outside of the law.
Your pretension manifests itself in communication like the one you are posting here: You supposedly care and even take steps to fix your credit cards milking operation or “remove” those who “abuse” your system and website.
I do not have time to waste on your fake “dating” service as it is not about dating it is about milking unsuspecting members of public via idle chatting with people on your staff – who are not at times even females – typing away trash while the clocks are ticking.
Dear Jack,
Really sorry to hear that your dates didn’t go as planned in the Ukraine. If you haven’t already done so, please contact Customer Service and they will provide you with compensation for the credits spent communicating with these Ladies. Our goal, as always is to bring men and women together, and in cases where this doesn’t happen we provide our clients with the option to try again.
There are over 20,000 Ladies on the site and we are sure that 99% of them would not cause such offence.
This is quite an unusual set of events, usually our male members visit Ukraine to see the Ladies they have been corresponding, chatting and speaking to via the site and they usually hit it off pretty well. It is quite common, and I am sure you appreciate why, for a lady to be chaperoned while on a date. In a society where there is little trust of men, the females often bring along a partner until they feel comfortable with their date.
Regarding the restaurant bill, as our Tour Leader always states, the man has to take control and basically do the ordering. The Ukrainian ladies sometimes think that the Western gentlemen who visit them are super wealthy and so can afford to offer them a little luxury, but they should not make this assumption and a quick but forceful stating of the ground rules usually avoids such situations.
We always recommend that our clients visit the Ukraine (if it is their first time) on an organized tour as we thoroughly immerse them with the dos and don’t of International Dating and the peculiarities of Ukrainian Culture, which quite frankly is very different from North American and Western European.
Best Wishes

Notice how the Anastasia response is not signed by anyone. They are the most bogus company in this industry.They cheated me out of several thousand since they write the response letters or pay women to do so.
When you want to travel to meet the women are always busy. Their organized tours are a joke. I would like to hear from ment scammed by Anastasia to put together a petition asking for the Maine Attorney General to pursue criminal charges of fraud and deception.
Hello Tom,
Thank you for the feedback. I can confirm that AnastasiaDate.com absolutely does not forbid the ladies on the site to correspond with men outside the Agency.
Anastasia is a “middleman”, basically in the same position as Paypal or Ticketmaster. We connect 2 willing parties and of course, as a middleman we are somewhat of a target for those who would prefer that they could connect with Ukrainian ladies for free.
Also, I feel it is unfair to generalize about all the ladies in Ukraine, or which there are millions of course. On our site we have about 20,000, a rather small subset of the entire female population, and we only allow ladies on to our site who are serious about starting a relationship with a foreign gentleman.
It’s true that most women in the Ukraine don’t have internet at home. Typically they travel to their local agency to answer mails and chat with the gentlemen on the site.
I hope that this has answered your concerns. If you have any more, as always, we welcome your opinions in our Customer Service team which can be reached via the following link.

Yours Sincerely,
The Anastasia Team
Hello Helmar,
Thanks for the constructive feedback, very useful to hear it from our clients and we will try to act upon it in order to improve the site.
In terms of profile information, we agree with you that the men’s profile information is somewhat limited, but a letter, chat, phone call or video chat allows you to include as much information as you need. As for the ladies profile, it contains an interview, a list of favorite things, and lots more text as well as many photos. It is probably one of the most advanced profiles currently available on any dating site.
Chat requests and Letters. Chat requests are not automated, but each request contains a standard text that the lady wrote themselves. The ladies are free to write whatever text they choose and yes, sometimes they are not appropriate or can come across as somewhat spammy. We are always working on ways to make the site as interactive and easy to use for both the male and female members, so we expect this aspect to b be improved soon. Introductory letters are sent to the clients by the ladies, and in fact, if the decides to answer the letter then the letter is free to open.
The cost of the site is actually pretty good value given what we offer, which is a selection of some of the most beautiful single women in the world. We obviously provide our services to the ladies for free, to encourage them to sign up for the site, and so the gentleman members effectively pay for the service to the ladies, in terms of translations etc. Don’t forget that if a client makes a commitment to the service by buying credits in bulk, they get 50% of the price of the services. This is a real bonus for those who are active on the site in looking for a beautiful bride from Ukraine.
Sometimes that lady is a little concerned about taking conversation away from the safety and comfort of Anastasia and onto a social network. Many of the ladies don’t have social networking profiles, and for many using a computer at their local marriage agency is their only access to the internet. By using the Call Me phone translation service it’s possible to get the home phone number of the lady (*if she consents to give it), and so all calls can be conducted directly with the lady. It’s really up to the guys and the ladies on the site how to manage their relationships, we really only act as an area where guys and ladies can meet each other in a safe environment. After they meet online, then the next step is to take it offline, and we offer Tours and a Date Me program that is designed to make sure that meetings go as planned.
We don’t pay any of the ladies to chat, typically if a girl is chatting to you, and you think that nothing is ever going to happen in the relationship – either she is too young, or she doesn’t speak enough English or you consider that she is too naïve to really get involved in a relationship, then you should really move on to a different girl. There are over 20,000 ladies on Anastasia so you shouldn’t be railroaded into chatting exclusively with one lady.
We hope that this answers some of the questions raised, please feel free to contact us at Anastasiadate.com customer service for any further information.
Best Wishes

I think this man get hat he deserved. I’m also looking for Ukrainian girls, so I started by learning Russian alphabet and language. I hired Russian tutor and met at her house with her much older strange husband. Then I met other Russian woman, her friend, who was with strange crazy guy too. I decided to go to Colombian marriage tour, just to get idea.
it’s crazy, with strange guys which are not communicative, scared like rabbits of women. Several days later, these guys are crazy, partying and making fools of themselves. I was quite embarrassed to see the spectacle in public. I found best results to be make dates myself, on latin sites like cypercupidos, where I wrote girl in Spanish.
I plan to to the same, on love.ru before my trip to Ukraine or St. Petersburg. Remember guys, you are alone for a reason. Improve yourselves, don’t only look for desperate women. And for sure, they are desperate. After her divorce, my russian tutor became my girlfriend for 1 year. She wanted to marry me, but I chose not, because she was older than me.
I suggest not more than 15 years age difference. If you believe garbage on website, look at woman 15 years older than you, and ask if you believe in tru love LOL. I hope my comments help some guys to be realistic.
hi i would like to tell you about my 3 different trips to ukraine ..i like many foreign men sent many letters and spent a lot of time in chat on the site ..which i might add is very expensive ..i started to use anastasia site more than 18 months ago .. in chat the lady i first felt atracted to was very explicit and made sexual comments on how she liked to be f…..ed.. and what she would do when i arrived .. but the truth is when i met her i was told by a translator her mother was ill and she had to leave odessa and go to the countryside ..but she would be back in a few days and everything will be good but when she came back i had another meeting with her and a translator ..
i told her through the translator i would not meet her anymore with a translator and she agreed to this ..so the next day we met and went shopping .. she was very cold and distant to me ..when we went for a meal she chose the most expensive thing on the menu .. and when i questioned this she got angry and asked me for 300 uah .. but i refused her request ..i di not hear from her again surprise surprise ..
my next visit was another lady from odessa .. i spent a week in odessa and we had 4 meetings the same pattern arose expensive meals and expensive taxi fares .. so once again no love romance or passion just money to be spent .. my third trip was even more disturbing i travelled to odessa again with the intention of of proposing to my lady which she asked to do to prove my commitment and love .. i bought a engagement ring for around 5oo dollars and presented it to her ..
the translator told me she could not give me answer she needed time to think about my offer ..but at least on my last day she gave me her email addres ..when i returned back in the uk we exchanged over 60 emails .. which i was happy with .. then she dropped a bomb shell and told me i dont spend enough money in chat on the site and she could not communicate with me anymore ..
so as you can see i do not believe that there are genuine women on anastasia site just a bunch of scmmers and devious people in the agencies that these women are registered with ..my friend is a translator in odesa and he used to work for anastasia as a translator and in his own honest words told me that all the women on anastasia are just using foreign men to fund their lifes because their salaries are so low .. so please be warned dont use this site just learn some russian lanuage and go to kiev and meet normal girls who dont belong to dating sites ..this is the best way to find a wife in ukraine .. best of luck guys be careful ………..

I had an eight month “relationship” with a girl on Anastasia. She seemed like a great match, an attratctive girl-next-door type, and she was excited about meeting me. When I got to my hotel in Kherson she suddenly stopped communicating, leaving me hanging.
Of the six girls I had arranged to meet in person in the Ukraine, I don’t think even one of them was sincere. I met two of the six. The rest either cancelled or didn’t show up. Of the two I met, one was much larger than in her picture. After a long, long lunch-with an expensive translator (I’ve heard that they split the translator’s fee.) we parted. I wrote her an email or two but she did not respond. The other girl I met brought her cousin to help translate. They took me on an expensive dinner date, then to a dance bar. I paid for taxi fair and everything. I think these girls really just wanted a great night on the town, which they could never afford on their own.
I went to the Anastasia site for the girls. They are offered financial incentives such as the chance to win a new car to participate. I think that from the first letter onward they all are just playing a game to make money. They are mere actresses. I call them Love-Prostitutes, because they sell their (fake) affection. So don’t get bilked by the Anastasia scam!
Thanks for the tips, was just going to join this website to see what it was about – Ill just hold off – not one to get scammed – anastasia, go to hell.
Hi there.
After having a few experiences myself and reading some of those reviews, I decided to tell about some of my own experiences with women met on Anastasiadate.com.
Two years ago, I had contact with a girl from Moldova, but we didn’t manage to meet at all – I waited for about ½ hour at McDonald’s after receiving her suggestion about a meeting; but she didn’t show up.
Since I shortly after got the opportunity to meet with another girl I had corresponded with, this time in Ukraine, I decided not to hang around in Moldova but rather continue my trip to Ukraine right away and meet with this other girl.
We spent a couple of hours together during three days in a row – first day was a relatively expensive dinner, too – her interpreter and female friend were there as well – and the next couple of days we went to a park and had a reasonable breakfast.
It didn’t work out however, and after a while we stopped corresponding.
As of this moment I’ve just met a third girl in Ukraine. We walked through the pedestrian lanes initially and had something as simple as a pizza later, and the next day we met again, taking another walk as the day before.
I got her cell phone number the first day and even her mail address the next, so we have the opportunity to communicate by other means now; not just via Anastasiadate, which – in my opinion – is relatively expensive.
Anyway, now I have to make the choice about paying for her passport and visa, as well as her loss of income when she’s going to meet me some time soon.
I trust her though; she was very genuine when we met and the look in her eyes and her smile when we had that pizza, told me a enough to place my bets on this girl.
I’ve heard and read quite a lot about scamming and I’ve even corresponded with some from Russia – one girl suddenly wanted me to send money so that her grandmother could have an operation. Of course I refused this instantly and shortly after we broke contact.
One of my friends happened to chat with a girl from Africa for some time – he later sent her some 1.500 USD so she could come to Denmark, and he never heard from her again.
Anyway, I have a good feeling about the girl I’ve just met. She seems genuine and honest, and I believe it’s impossible to fake the look in her eyes and that smile – the look that told me she had to be the one. c”,)
I’ve had a profile on anastasiadate.com for a couple of years now, and I’ve met with three women so far (actually four, since the first woman’s interpreter happens to have a profile on the site as well).
Since I travel to Moldova and Ukraine by myself – by motorbike – we set up the meeting ourselves. First time was not a success, and we also had the issue with a relatively expensive dinner (around 100 USD or so).
This was only once, though.
Last summer I intended to meet with some of those I had corresponded with, but didn’t succeed in setting up a meeting in time, and thus, continued my trip to Bulgaria.
A few days ago I met with another woman, whom I’ve corresponded with for a long time now. She seemed very genuine from the beginning, and we even exchanged personal contact information so that we have other options as well now.
I have no problem accepting that the women are often busy. The girl I met had to travel 50 minutes each way by bus just to meet me; this means she spent almost 5 hours per day, two days in a row, to meet me.
All she got from me during this time, was ½ pizza and a glass of juice.
Some women in Ukraine need to work more than one place or even help their grand parents with a lot of things. We simply cannot compare the situation in Ukraine with those in the US or Western Europe. The story goes a long way back, there’s a reason for everything, and we should also remember that Ukraine was among those hit hardest by World War II. Even so, it was primarily the Soviet Union who defeated the Nazis, with the cost of millions of lives and most of their cities and industry ruined.
During my visits in Ukraine, 99% of the people I’ve met here – women and men – have been very polite, hospitable, helpful and communicative. I always feel welcome while I’m in Ukraine, and I wish to thank Ukraine and the Ukrainian people for this, as well as for what they did for all of us during those dark years 41-45.
Anyway, this is off the track, I know. c”.)
There’s always fraud and deception in any place in the world. However, if I met someone 10 years older than myself from my home country, there’s no guarantee that would last, either – or, that she were genuine, for that matter.
As of today, I’ve met a kind, gentle, beautiful and sincere Ukrainain woman through Anastasiadate, and I believe in her so much that I’ve decided to take this relationship one step further and give her the opportunity to visit me in my home country, Denmark, some time soon.
My advice is not to spend a lot of money on your dates; that’s always a bad sign. A simple dinner or a cup of coffee is okay, but it shouldn’t be the ability to pay expensive dinners or gifts that should be the leading factor. If she’s genuine, then she’ll be so, also if she’s not even offered a cup of coffee at your cost.
I also think it’s important to communicate a lot and get to know about each other’s backgrounds, culture, history and so on. Many events shaped many parts of the world in completely different ways, and we need to keep this in mind.
I have checked this page from Anastasiadate.com long time and this is the result.
I am on this site near 3 years now, I never has spent one cent for any chat or email in this time. I only have analysed what is real and what is not real in this dating site. I know many what is wrong here, also some woman, are not real here. I have checked this site also with my friends, the software and more. There are many emails in my name, never send from me. Also when woman try to start a chat with me, the same second the same woman start a chat with my friends, the same words, only the name is changed to my friends name, good software. I know advertisement and marketing very well and this site has a very good software to make only profit with stupid men.
When my friends register here and write only first time the name and birthday in the profile, no picture nothing, after some hours more than 70 emails was send to my friends inbox. Also many women starting direct the live chat, what a joke. I know real woman from Russia and the Ukraine, this woman will never do like this, this woman much more intelligent and educated then this page and the software. Also it is very clear that this software send the emails and start live chats himself and not a woman, like I see this myself again and again with the emails that was send with my name. How can somebody trust this dating site?
I know that here also real woman that want to have a real partnership and trust this dating site and that all is real, all what I can say and that is the truth, many is not real here and the honest woman and man will be cheated to make money.

Is this website enable us for full free commonications between your subscribers.Please advice for something free as we are suffering because…
Regards.
I come back to my last comment 2 days before. We still work to find out more about this PREMIUM SCAM dating site anastasiadate.com. As I told in my last comment this site scam all men to make only money.
It is not my interest to talk about woman that use this dating page to scam men, that is normal in every dating site and for sure anastasiedate.com can’t take the responsible for that (anastasiadate.com is only the platform to bring the product (WOMEN) into the market), this first is part of the agents that connected with anastasiadate.com and deliver the women, this people has to take care that this scammers not get entrée in this site.
Our intension is to stop this scam anastasiadate.com himself and start one official investigatıon against this site. We check this page now at least 18 hours per day with 4 computers and profiles and we understand more and more how this scammer software is working. The women play only a very uninteresting part in all this. We also very sure that in chats and emails maybe the women know nothing that she (the profiles) also be only used, to make profit for anastasiadate.com
I will travel to the Ukraine again and meet some women and also agencies from anastasiadate.com again to find out more. All this is not so easy many women not speak some word English and all need ever a translator.
What we all can’t understand is the following: There are many American guys that cry that she was cheated and nobody do something. We are European guys and no one from use was cheated from this US dating site, we hate only how other people cheated from this dating site and that’s why we invest money and effort to stop this.
After I will back I will explain more about what we find out. Not forget and take in your mind there are many more scammers, especially with Ukrainian and Russian women in the internet.

Hi Bruno,
thank you for a very good comment above.
I liked it a lot, and was happy to hear of your good experiences with this agency.
I have tried them also with less luck. In fact, I caught them red-handed in the classic correspondence scam. The letters will, most of the time actually be written by the local marriage agency officers, not the girls themselves. At one point, they switched the translator who was writing the letters for Daria, whom I was corresponding with. The handover of the task went wrong somehow. She thought it was a new acquaintance for me. So after 4 months of writing, this new translator wrote a fresh introduction letter that was even factually inconsistent with the first presentation of Daria! Depressing!
However, I am not saying you can never succeed in meeting genuine girls through AnastasiaDate, only that the business ethics of this major player in international dating is seriously corrupted and you will most likely suffer from it.
In fact, I suggest everyone considering to use them first go and see the eye-opening videos of business insider Tony Bochene. You will be shocked at his revelations!

From one Dane to the other (yes, I am Danish too!)! 😉
Well..I’ve been on for a couple of months for the chats..haven’t responded to any ukee’s yet but have chatted with some Chinese from asianbeauties..many are very stunning as are the ukee’s..they are very active in the chats..I’ve been curbed by the translators but I’ve noticed when I do sneak by the translator, after a hefty some from explaining to the lady on the other end, the lady seems standoffish..
she seems to try to delay me by telling me she doesn’t want to rush into marriage and they need patience..one told me, even though she’s already in the states going to college, she doesn’t have a phone and doesn’t have the money for a new one.when i told her to borrow a friend’s phone and i will call her back or she can use a head set on the computer to reach me, she told me to have patience..I’ve attended a seminar that was being held from their competitor and they just said that anastasia had a bad reputation because she married an american and dumped him when she got in the country..shocking..I also noticed that anastasia doesn’t have any tours planned…hmmmm..this stinks like bad fish…they need to be exposed or come forward and authenticate…

There’s currently a growing list of online dating sites. While members of premium or paid dating sites enjoy a different set of perks, web users can still make the most of free online dating sites which are becoming common these days.
When you go to Ukraine, it is better to have phone numbers of local taxi services in your pocket. You don’t know when you will need it, and it is not recommended to stop an accident car if you want to be safe in this country. Use licensed taxi services and be secured. This is my list of Ukraine taxi http://ukraine-vacation-guide.com/dir/taxi/20 all of these services are appropriate and rates are not expensive. If you know more good taxi services in Ukraine, please add them to this Ukraine travel guide.
Hi everybody,
I use Anastasiadate for now 3 years and I’m totally agree with all post here. This site is full of fakes profiles, stop dreaming. I know 3 translators here now, and one is now very close to me. Paid just for chats, not to answer letters or to write model’s profiles (yes, profiles are not written by the models). She work with 3 other colleagues in a underheat flat under the responsability of a boss, and of course this is not legal job. Anastasiadate in not aware about it?? Bullshit! !
Ladies on the pic is Anasasia Kucher, you can find her on her VK profile. She has removed some “sexy pics” she has made with her BF on her profile when I have complain. Her profile was hidden for 2 weeks and she comes back, of course! If you want to play here, you can, as I do sometime, but be aware there is absolutly no feelings on that site, just milking man. They just need your money, nothing else. But if you have nothing else to do, you can search the exception… Good luck! ! I have plenty of exemple, but don’t want to put my friend on trouble if I give too much details. This is fakes site, Anastasiadate know that, this is a simple business with ladies that spend their time answering you, underpaid, just to fill your hart with bullshit.
Kind regards to all
you mentioned a girl name anastasia kucher.
I’m talking to a girl with the same name.
can you tell me what she looks like and if she is just scamming people?
I would really appreciate your help.
hello,ive been to ukraine to see these woman , and yes there is so scamming going on, and yes alot of woman are real and well meet, if it to get married all to just make money,
i mpaid traslator 10 dollars an hour and she also ask money for my date so she can take taxi home, i also meet other ladys that was happy to learn more about me,
what i find is the chat is the scam, my friends would come online almost the same time everyday, i would ask the lady was she online talking to me, and she would say no, someone else used her name to get you to pay for chat,
ukraine woman dont really have time to sit around on computer,they have to catch traines and work late, but yes there are many many beautiful woman in the ukraine ,more beautiful than ones on anastasia date, im good looking man and had no problem meeting them, but ukraine woman think every man just want sex tour ,so its sad, that they judge you straight away,
some ukraine woman try anastsia date to find a man, many love the ukraine and dont really want to leave ukraine, and i dont blame them,i also thought it has a beautiful culture , and im from australia, at the end of the day, you dont need money to be happy, i found it very hard to get serouse with the woman ,because there was so many ,it gets confusing 🙂
i love ukraine ,not just the woman but every thing,the histroy,buildings there dress 🙂 i will go again in feb and i still try to meet on anastaiadate ladys but look at the webcam to make sure they are real who your speaking with ive found away to give my full name and get them to go to facebook, but many wont, we must be aware that its also very dangerouse for these beautiful woman,
Hello love seekers,
I have read these comments and i must say that my experiences on Anastasia are not different than some of the experience above. Recently i spend some money on this website. I had earned some extra bonuses and as a single man i wanted to use this extra money to check some dating websites or agencies in Ukraine. Anastasiadate was on of them.
I want to share my experiences and give some advices to other men seriously looking for a marriage with a lady from a ex-soviet country. If you use Anastasia date think of the following:
1. Don’t spent time on the livechat when you are visiting the Anastasia website the first time. Directly after logging on you will get many chat requests from the most gorgeous ladies and also many letters which you can read for free, at first that is, at some point no letters are free anymore. The live chat is quite as expensive than a average erotic webcamsite while you will have more value for money there seeing ladies naked. When you just joined Anastasia first look around using the search filter and if you like a lady’s profile send her a first (free) letter and see how she responds. Does she answer your quesions? Does the letter looks real to you? Be alarmed if she directly calls you sweetheart or dear, fully ignores your questions or tells you a hardbreaking story about herself etc…. No honest woman in the world calls an unknown man sweetheart or tells everything about her private life to an unknown man.
2. Look for geniune profiles with real photo’s in real clothes. Many profile’s contain professional photo’s in nice clothes not of their own, ignore these. I have seen many photo’s there which looked like copied from a playboy magazine. Follow your rational mind not your dick. Of course there are genuine ladies there also the ones with professional photo’s. But when (after checking the profile) they look for a man who is ‘generous’ or ‘not greedy’ or ‘want a man to feel a princess with’ or ‘financial secure’, be warned. Ask your lady to send a casual photo of themselves. Don’t be a fool, even in Ukraine many girls have cellphones nowadays with camera so a real geniune photo is very simple to them to make. If she is really interested in you she might even be willing to make a photo with a paper in front of her with your written name on it or make a photo with family or friends.
3. Never send presents thru the website even if they promiss to show you a photo of her while receiving your present. When you send roses it might happen that you will get a photo of her at a market place where they borrowed some roses from a local florist just for the photo.
4. When you still think you have good and genuine contact after exchanging some emails and real photos you might go for a live telephone call called CallMe service to go a step further. The first time do not call longer than 30 minutes or so. Use this first telephone call to exhange private mails. If she still wants to continue communicating on the live chat or email system of anastasia break up the contact because if they are serious they don’t mind using the private email. One of the excuses which they commonly use is not having a translator outside anastasia. This is total bullshit. I have had a longterm correspondence with a russian woman using the google translator. The google translator works fine. The ladies can just send emails in russian and you will do the translation. Another excuse is that they don’t know you yet and they are afraid that you are a freak. Come on !!! You are thousands of miles separated ! What could it hurt to just exchange email adresses or perhaps hotmail, gmail etc…
5. Never fly all the way to Ukraine to visit 1 lady, this might sound egoistic but fairtailes do not exist in real life. Even a serious woman in Ukraine will understand that you are not spending 1000 USD for just 1 woman. Of course you don’t need to tell them (or brag about it) that you are meeting more ladies but there is no need to lie about it either.
6. If you dont want to spend weeks or months on live chats or exchanging emails and you want fast results go to a smaller agency runned by a family, for instance UFMA (Ukrainian Fiancee Marriage Agency) or Mordinson. Both are located in the city of Kharkov. And book a trip to Kharkov.
7. Never interact with a lady who addresses you thru an unknown agency or even no agency at all, not on the internet and certainly not in real.
8. Last but not least, never spend money on a lady other than the membershipcost of a website or a travel to that lady. Only give presents when you are really together with them.
Good luck

You have a point but one thing you really cant do is ask any personal information about them. They are bound in some sort of law. I actually booked myself on their tour.
My idea is: I rather spend my money on the tour than in their services, their tour cost roughly like going to hawaii fully loaded, Tour includes everything anyways and food there is like eating at chilis, no plans on going fancy, I do not spend money on strangers, except when they are strippers, LOL.
Will be flying this september. My plan dates are just coffee, and I will not pay and won’t need translators. Because just being realistic. If you guys get married, you are not going to have a translator at your house.
So I think it is better to see if we can communicate at least in the beginning. I have dated a lot of FOB Chinese here in Cali. Never had any problems.
Wow….nice to read this stuff. It’s all true….it is a business and there are organizations taking money as fast as they can. The owners of this, a USA company, know it, deny it, and keep milking the suckers…you can point this out to the website owners….they have an answer for everything, the scam continues.
Someone should start an anti- anastasia site. Yes, lots of people work and need money, the Ukraine is not a rich place….but, the system is a total lie….there must be better ways to make a living….not just in the Ukraine, but also for our dishonest American friends at Anastasia.
I have an advice for all guys looking for a lady there, don’t spent any more dollar there. It is a complete scam or at least some kind of russian roulette in your wallet.
There is a usefull website vk.com which is basicly the russian version of facebook. You can track down all ladies there because this website has a detailed search engine which allows you to look on name, city and date of birth…..
I tracked down more than 40 anastasia ladies there, ladies who sent me letters thru the anastasiadate that they liked me very much bla bla bla….and guess what, NONE of these ladies replied to me or wanted to talk to me on that VK network. Some of them were married even. There was a nice girl who did talk to me but she only went to the agency for a free photoshoot but never sent any letter there. When i showed her the letter ‘she’ wrote to me, she had to laugh because her father would kill her if she would marry a foreigner…hahaha
I have made screenshots of all the fake profiles for legal purposes. I will not go into details ……….
Hi guys
I joined this anastasia date agency 2 ago but before spending money on it I happened across articles like this about its scam reputation. The email I gave them is one I use for junk anyway.
Surprise surprise after 2 days I have letters from at least 7 9/10 females from Ukraine all wanting to talk to me. None of whom I had even contacted.
The next wave were more ordinary looking women – guess they figure if the guys thinks its too good to be true lower the standard and reel the sucker in!
Total bullshit! And if its true its owned by a US company someone should be complaining to the authorities stateside.
Don’t go anywhere near this site guys.
Hey and while we are on the subject there is a site called lavaplace.com that I have actually joined on a 3 month deal.
They don’t use the credit system – you just get access for a time period.
However beware the “virtual kisses”. My gut is telling me that 50% of the profiles of the younger women (below 25) are from scammers. I would add that unlike anastasia I don’t think the website is involved but you never know.
if you need proof its fake, heres how to do it. Get a close friend to sign up along with you “upload one photo,either its real or use a fake you download from a photo site”
send the free contact to the same women. when you get a reply back from the same woman”and you will” you’ll notice its the same message “or almost” , both message her back one day apart . talk about different stuff , but kind of ask the same question “just ask it different” right now you can reply back for free once, when she replies you’ll see its the same letter your friend got “now to open the last one will cost a credit,but if you got some for free from them..open it” but i won’t spend any money on there ever. They do give out free credits alot,birthdays or something they try to do to get you to start talking with a lady and start buying credits .
But the site is a fake and i’ve tested it with a friend like i posted above. everyone woman that replied back to us..sent the same thing and avoid most of what we ask and tired to turn it around by saying she like to know more before answering our questions .
Good luck to anyone that spends money on there 😛
Anastasiadate.com is a very well-organized scam operation. Flashy and glamourous on the outside and fake on the inside. Thousands of photo-shoped women who dont look the same in reality making money on chat-time and letting local-agency secretaries writing their letters….
I can definately say that after checking out a few sites, Anastasia is definately full of fakes. There’s a ton of pics that show up on other sites. The one thing that is laughable is that I’ll get emails on Anastasiadate from women I actually talked to for a while on other sites. They act like they have no idea who I am. The best advice I could give is research your lady. If she’s on a bunch of sites, chances are it’s to make a living. Even if you have their personal information, they’ll still keep trying to get you to go to a site.
Anastasiadate, is total fake and a insult to Ukrainian ladies. The profiled women on Anastasia date are not ladies at all, they sold their souls once they signed up to this terrible horrible agency. They people of Ukraine look at this as dirty work. Why date a “thing” from anastasiadate?
Worst is to be intimate with one, yuck. I did this and cannot believe I was close to one of Anastasia date’s pigs! I feel like to wash my mouth out with turpentine!
Do not even waste your money on any dating site like these that take money to chat, and emails, these pig’s get paid to chat. Svadba.com is the devil that recruits honorable ladies that then are stripped of dignity, morals and values. This site is just totally bad for every one.
It gives many men and people bad taste of the Ukraine as a whole. The best offense is the greatest defense, stop patronizing these sites, tell everyone on every blog to not use. One the cow goes dry so do they. Read about Tony Bochene at tonybochene.com read about this there.
Stay in USA, the chances of a Ukraine lady to meet a real many is one in 2,500. The rest of these are pro daters and worse!
Hi,
I just have to add that I have been using Anastasiadate.com for about 4 years and each year I go either once or twice to meet individual ladies that I have sent letters to and corresponded to in Live Chat. Anastasiadate.com has video links so that you can see who you are chatting to. Yes it costs a lot, but if you want a soul mate and like me you are shy (not lost a augument with the ugly stick) then this one of the better options to me and other like me.
I don’t use Anastasiadate.com tour services as this is the american way and I have heard that they do advertise free food and drink to get ladies to attend.
Hi christopher Smith,
I hope that you have really enjoyed the services of Anastasia Date and you are not a SEO scammer who writes fake comments about positive moments of Anastasia Date. If you are a real user, you could write a more detailed review on the services and the women you have met.
Krystyna
I think most of you guys are more worried about your money than anything else. Of course you are going to come across scams on any website just use your common sense if it does not sound right it probably is not right. If you think you can spend a few dollars and send some letters a beautiful and well educated woman is yours you are kidding your selves
Wake up if your old and fat and have no money why would a woman be interested in you and want to leave her home land and her friends and family if you have nothing to offer her. There are genuine women on the website and there are women who make a living from the website too.
If you see a woman on line all the time she is probably a professional and makes her living by the website. Look for woman who is are hardly ever online because they have a job to go to and have very little time to be online for chatting and writing letters.
Or save your money and just go there have a holiday at Odessa and met a women your self and stop whinging about your money.
got to agree with scammed! I have just arrived back from Nikolaev after spending a week there. I was also stood up after communicating with a girl for nineteen months on the site,for one reason or another i could not go earlier but that was not a problem with this girl.
I have tried to contact Anastasia Dates customer services but they give you the impression that they look into the problem but they never get back to you at all and i have tried several times with e-mails and the so called live support. As scammed says it is in their blood and probably brought up with this way of life.
All i can say is stay away from this site and i never thought i would say this. I ignored all the other bloggs on other sites as it seemed 50/50 so it was difficult what to believe but now i know from my own personal experience.
Oh and by the way i spoke to a girl whilst i was there and she works for many agencies in the town and she admitted to me that the girls get paid and it was all about supporting their family and most girls do not show up and the ones that do take you for a very expensive ride!!
I still believe there are good ones there but the key is learn the language very well and forget the sites,easier said than done! I still hope to find a wife from there but this last experience has seriously knocked my faith.
Hi! i had posted a short story of my trip to Nikolaev just a few days ago.I want to tell guys that i have eventually managed to get a response from Anastasia.com support staff after a long struggle and what they told me me was absolute BS at the highest order! First of all all i had to really be strong with these people and i told them i would not give up till i got a answer at why Anastasia ( id 1650432 ) did not show up at my hotel as promised. Guess what? after kicking off with the half wits at the support staff,they tell me that they will contact the agency the girl is registered with and the next day the two letters that had not been read since the 26th of January ands the 9th of February had by magic been read and as it happens i get a letter from Anastasia about an hour later.
The letter was never written by the girl as for starters as i did not receive the standard e-mail from the company that you get when a girl sends a letter to your e-mail address, ( you have received a letter from Anastasia id 1650432)you know what i mean? but i never got this e-mail. The letter went on to say that she had a change of heart and wanted to concentrate on her studies and she could not satisfy any man or be happy with herself without completing her degree,BLAH,BLAH,BLAH! ,considering she is due to finish in may???? I did not feel the letter was from her but the agency as it seemed odd that this girl read my letters after all this time and within 24 hours of me giving their support line a hard time.This girl does not know about this letter and i am sure of this but it goes to show what a total scam site this is and how they operate.
The letter did go on and say thanks for asking about her sister but i never asked about her in the letters that were supposed to be read, they have read this in my previous letters at christmas and added it to the reply letter..i get a e-mail later in the day saying that Anastasia had sent detailed letter to me…How would they know it was detailed? she may have just said sorry for not showing up , they know because it was sent by them! They never said why this girl could not of contacted me before i travelled to save me my money and time,the reason why is Anastasia just has disappeared as she is part of the scam and they are defending her although they deny this!!!!!!
Anyone that reads this and still thinking of getting involved with the site may as well find a tramp sleeping rough in the streets and give the money to him/her at least you know it would be appreciated !!!!!
JUST DONT DO IT! STAY AWAY FROM AD.
Thank you for your feedback. At AnastasiaDate we strive to provide the best customer service to our clients 24/7.
It’s not by chance that AnastasiaDate has become the world’s leading Russian-American Introduction Agency. For over fifteen years AnastasiaDate’s constant commitment to honesty, integrity and hard work on behalf of her members has allowed the industry to raise its standards. The history of AnastasiaDate has been one of providing clients with genuine, valuable service in the face of other less scrupulous Russian dating agencies whose iniquity tarnishes the reputation of all.
AnastasiaDate is the first and only agency to tackle the issues of internet dating fraud and anti-scam head-on. There are other Russian singles and mail order brides agencies that conduct honest business. However, in the online introductions industry simple honesty isn’t enough to make a real difference to the consumer with regards to dating fraud. Industry professionals must be proactive and fight scam directly, and here’s why:
No agency is an island, and no mail order bride agency can operate independently. All major agencies depend on networks of dozens, (or in the case of AnastasiaDate over a thousand) smaller dating agencies to register ladies (Russian women and Ukraine women), perform services for members, and fight scam. Whenever a consumer deals with any given Russian or Ukraine brides agency they should keep in mind that their agency depends on numerous other affiliated agencies for scam and internet fraud protection.
If other Russian ladies’ agencies are less scrupulous (scammers), or if a particular Russian or Ukraine woman is disingenuous, the client suffers regardless of the integrity of their home mail order brides agency. Following this, a particular agency simply “being honest” is not enough to protect consumers. What is required is vigilance supported by forceful action against scam. Such attention is the pillar of AnastasiaDate scam and anti-scam operation.
AnastasiaDate scam and anti-scam unit has spent over a million dollars implementing an industry-wide business system designed to ferret out less than honest agencies suspected of internet dating scams while helping upright and trustworthy agencies prosper. Creating this comprehensive anti-scam watchdog system to protect and serve our members is a Herculean task as well as a significant financial investment. But AnastasiaDate’s scam and anti-scam operation firmly believes that the long term survival of our industry depends on stepping up to enforce discipline against dating fraud on the industry level. At the heart of the AnastasiaDate’s scam and anti-scam unit’s success is the protection she provides her members by establishing and asserting an ethical standard on the numerous Eastern European affiliate partners she deals with.

It is funny how you people complain. You know they do have a choice if they want to be with you or not. Ladies need a reason to stay with you. Age is not really the main issue in a sense. But probably it is your Hygiene, attitude and your obesity. Ladies from Ukraine are like any other women. They to look at those. I watched this documentary about this guy.
He was fat, his house was dirty, the girl left him. Dont get me wrong the guy was nice, and he was supportive of the girl. If you are fat, do not expect a beauty queen. If you have hygiene problems do not expect girls will talk to you.
THIS IS HOW IT USUALLY HAPPENS:
You talk to a girl over the internet. Only videos and pictures. You spend money and all. Then you fly to Ukraine and meet the girl of your dreams. She sees you and find out that you do not look like the person in the picture, you look fatter and uglier in person, and on top of it you have a bad breath.
TOTAL TURN OFF.
The way she is thinking now is, “Might aswell have fun”. She orders the most expensive meal on the menu. You know why? Because she knows dating websites are expensive! And she is assuming you have a lot of money. the tour alone can cost around 5k. What is $100 to you right? Then she is cold, she doesnt talk to you, and disappears.
And thats the time you CRY it is a scam.
I am convinced that Anastasiadating is a scam. The girls will not meet with you, and there is one thing I wonder very much about.It appeared from my profile that I was 56 years old, and it surprised me that many girls from 20 to 30 years contacted me. It would meet, they wrote sweet things to me to a man of 56 years.
I could not understand that as young girls would contact me. I was approached by many young girls.I did not contact some of the girls on Anastasia, but found many of the girls on vk.com how many of the girls have a profile.I hear not from the girls when I contacted them on their vk.profil. However, some written back that they only use Anastasiadating because they have a contract with Anastasiadating. Anastasia is also very expensive to use. A mail costs 50 Danish kr to open and a e-mail costs 50 Danish kr to send. So it is 100 Danish kroner every time you are in contact with a girl from Anastasia. Their webcam costing about 1000 danish kr. to use per hour.
A crazy high price to pay. I recommend you to find the girls who contacts you at Anastasia that you try to find them on their vk.com profile.
Write a letter and get google to translate into Russian.
Send the letter to the girl on hends vk.com profile.
You do not get any response from the girl because she earns money by writing to you on Anastasia.
do not use Anastasia use other dating sites which are much cheaper to use.
Dear Chris,
As AnastasiaDate.com we do everything possible to insure the authenticity of our ladies. All our lady members are required to complete an application form, provide us a copy of their documents and attend random meetings for verification purposes.
If a client ever has doubts about a lady, we ask them to provide us with said lady’s ID number and their reasons for doubting her. If their doubts are confirmed, we would reimburse the customer for all communication costs with the lady, fine her agency and, if needs be, remove her from our site altogether.
Yours sincerely,
Gregory
Customer Support Manager
Sparky or should I call you Krystyna, seems you have 2 names which I am very familiar with on several blogs and forums. If you don’t work for our competition, why do you advertise for them? Seems to be a conflict of interest doesn’t it?
As for AnastasiaDate, we are the leaders in the international dating industry…no other company comes close.
No other company…including the ones you advertise for have a better anti-scam policy as we do:
AnastasiaDate’s Anti-Scam Policy
No other company in the online dating industry beats AnastasiaDate’s Scam Protection
It’s not by chance that AnastasiaDate has become the world’s leading international online date website. For nearly twenty years AnastasiaDate’s constant commitment to honesty, integrity and hard work on behalf of our members has allowed the industry to raise its standards. The history of AnastasiaDate has been one of providing clients with genuine, valuable service in the face of other less scrupulous dating sites whose bad reputation tarnishes us all.

But AnastasiaDate firmly believes that the long term survival of our industry depends on stepping up to enforce discipline against dating fraud at the industry level. At the heart of the AnastasiaDate’s success is the protection we provides our members.
Internet Dating Scam Protection
Anastasia is the only Russian dating company in the industry to even attempt a consumer protection campaign of this magnitude to combat internet dating fraud and scam.
• AnastasiaDate is the only online dating company that maintains a full time anti-scam staff specifically devoted to checking correspondence for fraudulent activity and reacting to reports of suspicious correspondence and internet dating fraud.
• All single ladies who register on AnastasiaDate are personally contacted by AnastasiaDate’s anti-scam staff to verify their identity and contact information, and to confirm that (1) she exists, (2) she knows and understands that she is a member of our site (3) she is interested in finding an foreign husband and (4) understands the terms of her participation.
• No other international online dating company comprehensively validates the identity of each and every woman on their site.
• When issues of possible fraudulent or inappropriate activity arise on our web site, AnastasiaDate’s anti-scam unit launches a quick and thorough investigation, documents all findings concerning possible internet dating fraud, takes appropriate action and reports to our members.
• In all cases where improper or dishonest behavior is found, AnastasiaDate’s anti-scam unit removes the lady from our system, fines the lady’s agency (if not independently registered) and issues a refund to our client. Additionally, an agency may permanently be removed from AnastasiaDate’s system for repeated offenses.
An Educated Consumer
Guidelines you should know:
1. Never send money to the ladies
2. Use “Date Me” service to arrange your dates
3. Travel and meet ladies via our group tours
4. Exchange contact details with your lady by using our “Call Me” service
5. Ensure your lady is real by conducting a webcam chat
What is Scam/ Fraud:
1. Lady requests money or expensive gifts from a gentleman (we reimburse the client for all communication costs associated with the lady and delete her profile)
2. Lady misrepresents herself or any details in her profile, such as: incorrect age, incorrect information about children, incorrect marital status, incorrect level of English, incorrect eye color, incorrect height (we reimburse the client for all communication costs associated with the lady and update her profile accordingly)
3. A lady says she is paid by the agency for communicating with the clients, or her agency uses her profile without her permission (we reimburse the client for all communication cost with the lady and delete her profile)
4. Fake correspondence, i.e., a lady doesn’t know the client and / or recognize their correspondence (we reimburse the client for all communication costs associated with this lady and delete her profile)
5. Client is robbed during a group tour (reimbursement to client)
6. Gifts of flowers that were requested through the system weren’t delivered (we reimburse the client for the cost of the flower delivery order)
7. She refuses to meet through “Date Me” service after corresponding with the client for more than 5 letters (lady is reminded to send polite rejection/explanation, if she refuses – her profile is deleted and we reimburse the client for all communication costs associated with the lady)
What is NOT Scam/ Fraud:
1. Lady corresponds with the customer for long time and then refuses to meet without “Date Me” service
2. Lady makes acceptable changes to her profile data, such as: occupation, smoking/drinking, hobbies, interests, appearance, level of English and updates her profile accordingly
3. Lady has photos of her relatives, male friends, ex-boyfriend, ex-husband and other personal info posted on any social network
4. Lady wears rings on fingers. In the Western hemisphere wedding rings are commonly worn on the left hand – in Slavic countries women often wear rings on many fingers. Wedding rings in Europe are commonly worn on the right hand. Wearing rings however does not mean a woman is married, regardless of which finger.
Summary
It’s impossible for any online dating site to anticipate and prevent all instances of internet dating fraud or web scam. However, AnastasiaDate has made significant progress by screening and monitoring both its dating affiliates and ladies who register on our site. As a result, AnastasiaDate has been successful to a large degree in sorting out undesirables and possible scammers from this industry.
Sincerely,
Gregory
AnastasiaDate Customer Service Director
Dear Gregory,
I hope your name is Gregory and you are AnastasiaDate Customer Service Director. I am not really sure if you are a real person or not. You could maybe write your last name so that we could google you and find out if you are really Gregory and work for AnastasiaDate. If you say here that I have 2 names, then where are your proofs? Or are you just tired to give your feedback to the comments and reviews of the readers of my blogs?
If you don’t work for our competition, why do you advertise for them?
It is my blog and I can advertise any sites, agencies and services I wish. I could also become an affiliate of AnastasiaDate but unfortunately, your affiliate program has too many negative reviews, as for me.
Furthermore, e.g. on ruadvantures.com, the users post their opinion on AnastasiaDate.com and the owner of the forum advertises for planetlovematch.com, your competitor:
(1) http://ruadventures.com/forum/index.php?topic=18974.msg316633;highlight=anastasia+date#msg316633
(2) http://ruadventures.com/forum/index.php?topic=15935.msg316438;highlight=anastasia+date#msg316438
Seems to be a conflict of interest, doesn’t it?… 🙂
Well, to Sparky’s comments. The review written by this man and published here is a comment by him to the article “Are all Anastasia brides a fake and get paid for registering & chatting?” published on the Ukrainian Dating Blog (URL: http://ukrainiandatingblog.com/2011/10/all-anastasia-brides-fake-paid-registering-chatting/). Further, he wrote a few comments here, too: http://ukrainiandatingblog.com/2011/10/official-statement-anastasia-international-about-negative-reviews-about-company/ in hoping to get a feedback from you. So, dear Gregory, if you think that I have nothing else to do except to write comments under the name of Sparky, you are deeply mistaken. Believe me I have better things to do than that.
Also, I have to tell you that on my sites, the readers can publish / discuss their both positive and negative comments and reviews. Unfortunately, only rare readers share their positive experience on the services of AnastasiaDate.
As you can see, the majority of the men who write their comments on my blogs are not really satisfied with the services. Of course, online dating is a business to customers’ service and it is normal that not everyone is happy with the agency or site. On my sites, there are some positive and negative discussions on other dating sites and agencies like CuteOnly, ElenasModels, LoveMe, CharmingDate, etc. But from my experience as a blogger, I would say that AnastasiaDate is the most discussed dating company on the Ukrainian Dating Blog and the Ukrainian Dating Stories
I would say that this phenomenon may be explained only by these two reasons:
1) Anastasia has much more customers than other International dating sites, so the balance between positive and negative reports is also huge (of course, as you said in your comment above, “As for AnastasiaDate, we are the leaders in the international dating industry…no other company comes close.”).
2) The services of Anastasia Date are not satisfactory enough, thus there are so many unhappy customers who share their experiences on the WEB.
Well, dear Gregory, I need to work and have no more time to write a comment, unfortunately.
It would be really great if you could write a reply to the comments written by Sparky. He is looking forward to hear from you.
Good luck!
Krystyna (alias Krystyna ;))
Hello Gregory again,
If you are interested, you can give me an interview about your company’s work and services.
I think my readers will be interested to find the answers and information on some important issues like online dating scam, paid chat, romantic tours, etc.
So if interested, feel free to contact me:

or write direct to ukrainiandatingblog (@) googlemail (.) com
Best,
Krystyna
This site can cost you hundreds of dollars for nothing. The problem is the fact that AnastasiaDate is not dating site but dating brothel. Girls are real, but they’re getting paid by the exchange of letters, chat, gifts, … Save your money, read the facts at http://www.anastasiadatefraud.com
Hello gents
Well I have fallen for the Anatasia beauty bug , am in my mid 40 and are a little over weight but not ba looking.
I have spent big bucks here and yes have been fun in the hype of younger ladies that are very beautiful.
Again I have been over awed and fallen for ladies and planned trips t cancel after they go berserk when I say I have organised my own interpreter.
But I will have my first visit to Kharkov in 4 weeks.
Not with the lady that I was first seeing she didn’t like my interpreter , funny she had never met her . After $20 K on the site I told her I am leaving and she could email me or join Skype to communicate ??
The last. Heard from Marina was buy more credits and we can chat , this is the last I heard from her.
The lady I will visit I believe is genuine ?
Our first chat on Anastasia she asked me to go on Skype and this is where we have communicated since. I see her every day we chat and she is real .
Now I will visit one lady and have told her this , I will hope that we are suitable she is 31 so we have a 15 year age gap.
But I am confident because of her honesty at the beginning of our correspondence .
I will not go on Anastasia date again , I know better now it has been a learning curve for me.
I will let everyone know how I get on , as like everyone she has a hand on my heart . Ok she has a arm around it .
So here’s hoping .
You can write me anytime Krystyna and we can discuss by email, phone, skype, whatever you prefer. As to some of your earlier questions, I will try to respond below:
1. Yes, Gregory is my name. I am a real person and have a last name as well. If you share your last name I can research all about you as well and publish it so we all know who you are associated with in this industry and thus who funds your site. As I am a resident in Ukraine…it is pretty easy to find out information about people here as you know 😉
2. Our complaint rate is lower than the customer service all industry average worldwide. As such you are incorrect that we have a high amount of complaints. Actually we don’t. And thus why I try to find what few ones we can even respond to online such as blogs and forums where sometimes we find them there. Having said that, and as evidenced on RU Adventures…no real claims have come out of such effort. To date, not one real customer has contact us to get his moneyback…but then we are also aware the competition likes to post false claims.
3. As for Sparky “the serial poster”, he has been responded to on another site called ReviewOPedia. Yes, we monitor all of them and have the best reputation management software on the planet to listen to everything being said about our company so we can respond to it and set the record straight. I guess you could say it is better than just waiting around for the phone to ring as we aren’t getting the complaints. Thus makes you wonder how legit your data from your members are to start with. I am not hard to get ahold of.
4. We will be launching a new program of having affiliates run by individuals like yourself. This means you would have first hand access to how things work and how we respond to claims of scam and fraud. Recently we revamped our program which will go public soon. Nobody in the industry offers a money back scam protection policy like we do.
At AnastasiaDate we don’t follow the trend…we set it. As such we are the leaders of international online dating…the days of marriage agencies are long gone…and with it will go a good majority of the headaches that have plagued the industry. Out platform will eliminate the middleman…and as such we will be no different than Match or POF, however with a bigger global footprint.
Get in touch if you would like to discuss…I am more than happy to do so.
Gregory

I agree with this , I HAD been a member for ONLY 3 months & every time thier “popups” appeared , I was charged , even though I NEVER conected with the LADYю
THeir are some very honest ladies on this site , that when you explain that you have been “SHAFTED” they are very supprised .
I would recommend that you visit the different cities WITHOUT the aid of these sites , you stand more chance of meeting REAL LADIES , guy´s take a 2 week holiday , relax & enjoy the culture and the XXXXXXX
I don’t know guys, girls from Anastasia Date look so unreal, they are like supermodels. I am an ambitious man concerning a woman for life but damn guess these girls are too much.. never heard anyone founding a girl from this site and marrying her. I like sites which are more down to earth.
Gregory,
Please don’t insult me with the moniker Sparky “the serial poster”. I have just as much right to post on the internet as you do and I have never resorted to calling you names in any of our interactions.
Your claim #3 above is not entirely true. You have never answered me point by point at REVIEWOPEDIA/ANASTASIA but only given me a lame analogy about winning a trip by checking a COKE bottle cap when I questioned you about the prizes that the women earn by being members of ‘”CLUB ANASTASIA” and appearing as clients on your website. With that being said, you will be glad to know that this is my last post about ANASTASIA DATE/WEB to appear anywhere on the internet.
Any place that I post on from now on will only be to defend my character and intentions. I am a quick learner and good student of things both overt and covert and have decided that I can no longer afford the personal time it takes to post comments about your company.
Krystyna, thank you very much for letting me post here and not censoring my comments. Good luck to you and I hope your blog “UkrainianDatingStories.com” is a continued success.
Sincerely,
Sparky
Fellow Gentlemen,
Want real? Then request to exchange email and Skype information within the first one or two conversations with any site you meet a girl. The real girls want to email and Skype because it’s safe, free and easy to use. If they make an excuse, “no internet” or no working camera or mic, they are fake. Real girls want to meet real guys and they know very well email and Skype are safe, reliable ways to meet a man.
Unfortunately, I have learned the hard way there are some good sites to meet Russian and Ukrainian women, and some VERY bad sites. I can recommend a very good one, and I agree 100% that Anastasia is NOT a reliable, trustworthy, or likely legitimate site to find love. They are a huge, money making system designed and modified constantly to get as much money as possible from you while leading you on that you just found some great girls, young and beautiful, that want you no matter what you look like. Come on! Do you think they are stupid?? They are not. The real girls want a man within 12-15 years or less of their age, and they want a fairly good looking, stable, good hearted man, just like any other woman of the world.
ANASTASIA: Having myself been divorced two years now, a single part-time father of a 10 year old son, I am a 48 year old man ready to find new love with someone special. I’m burned out on the “gold diggers” of America, so I have been looking overseas for this idea of humble, grateful women that have few local options themselves in their cities to find a good man. Are they out there? YES! Myself, I am pretty young looking, and in great shape, successful, and people say I’m quite handsome. My point is, if anyone has a chance to meet a lovely young woman based on honesty and truth, I would be one of them, not to brag, just being real. Now I have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on Anastasia in hopes that I will find an honest, sweet girl that is looking for an honest man to start a life with. On Anastasia, long before I read any of the above comments, I discovered everything to my disappointment is true that has been mentioned here. The young women who will spend time with you chatting will cost you hundreds of dollars with no real intention of actually having a relationship with you. They will appear interested and sound wonderful, but in the end you will be frustrated and lose hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
ELENA’S MODELS: This is a very good site to find and meet real Russian and Ukrainian women, as well as decent, honest real women all over Eastern Europe and Western Asia. It is not a free site, but it is much less expensive than Anastasia, and the chatting and emails after the first one credit are all free. This site has real, honest women as I have found. The best part is the profiles of the girls are real, and there is no “pie in the sky” 18 year-old-fake that wants to keep you paying and paying and paying without ever really wanting to know you. This site does not operate that way. In fact, on Elena’s Models, as soon as you have started to communicate with a girl, there is no more charge to communicate with her. That is the way it should be. The girls generally will be real and honest right up front. Elena’s Models also verifies the girls on the site are real and no scams are allowed whatsoever. I have met three very lovely women on the site, two in person. They are real, but our personalities did not end up a good match. In two weeks I am meeting a lovely woman in London that I met on Elena’s Models. We have been chatting face to face on Skype for free for about one month, after meeting on Elena’s Models.
Look, I’m a normal guy in Nevada, and I have no motive or incentive to recommend Elena’s Models, other than sympathy for my fellow men that are getting screwed on Anastasia, and not in a good way. LOL.
Best of luck to you.
To those of you who mentioned the VK.com website….. you totally rock!
I created a profile there and actually found the girl I just started chatting with. I’ve only spent about $45 so far, but with all the mixed reviews on something so pricey as Anastasia Date, I became rather skeptical.
Her status actually says “in a relationship”, but I decided to send her a casual email, even using google translate to put it in her own language, and see if she’d be willing to communicate on that site instead. Time will tell if she’s serious or her relationship status is genuine, but damn am I glad I have this option outside Anastasia Date.
OK I will test this site and let all the world know if its a scam or not. Ive been talking with a girl named elena ID # 1677116 for over 3 yrs now. im disabled in my foot so i cannot go to Ukraine. im am Honest as Honest can be. IM asking customer service to have elena be flown to me in USA. elena do plan to get married. and customer service please dont use the excuse she can’t come here for her safety… she will taken well care for and 1000 % safe. I want to see if customer Service will prove to the world that they will have elena flown here within the next 2 weeks.
Now elena states her boss left to train other realtors in a far area and might stay there to continue to stay there, and a new boss is coming. I m asking customer service to talk with her boss and tell him were getting married in the states. so far customer service, has covered themselfs with every excuse in the book. if she doesn’t arrive here within 6 weeks, im coming back on here to let the world know you are 1000% a scam. elena and i know everything about each other, everything!!! we want to get married. i can’t meet her there im disabled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lets see if she shows up here in USA in 6 weeks after customer service talks to her boss. Anastasia your comapany is on the line here to either stay open or close with law suits. I will be back here to give you info. on what happened world, yes you men in the world !!!!!!!!!!!!! David
I would like to add, that nowadays there are pretty big amount of resources, which provide really good possibilities in matchmaking and online daring for free. It is really doesn’t make a lot of sense to do some scamming here – it is more profitable to extend dating network, promote the resources, manually review & approve all of the profiles, which are registered.
hello dear men,
My name is Nura, i had a profile on anastasiadate.com and it was deleted.. the reason that i knew more then they wanted me to know..
What i want to say that not all of the girls on anastasia are fake.. but there is the following:
1. some of girls do not use they profiles but they just do Photosession for the agency who r paying something for girls to do.. some of them going for meetings and some of them dont, but they never chat, but some one else does it maybe a girl or even a guy.. and those never sitting on camshare..
2. girls who run their own profiles, going for meetings but always telling the men that they dont speak english and that they need interpretor,, that is because after the man pays for the interpretor, he share money with a girl 50/50. those r the worst as they r very good in scamming and many of them can make a man spend thousands of dollars for gifts, restaurants interpretors and taxis for girl..
3. very little when u can find that a woman is serious about her search and really want to find a man, those r exist.. but its so hard to find them.. i can give 5% of those kinds of girls..
i mean think about it.. do u think a girl who is 18-25 years old would like to marry a man who is older then her dad sometimes.. a beautiful smart amazing girl would love to spend her life with a man who is 60 years old? ofcourse no , unless she is freak.. but u dont expect that all girls on anastasiadate r freaks.. right?
I myself used to run girl’s profiles on anastasiadate.. i have more then 1000 id numbers for those girls who never used anastasia, and others who were scamming men..
what happened and why i stopped to do that, well.. when u dont see who r u chatting to, u dont see clearly and u dont realize that actually there is a human being that has feelings .. u look at the screen u type , u chat but u see only words, letters u dont see his face, u dont know what he thinking about…
first time i went out for interpreting, there was a man who had meeting with a girl and i supposed to be their translatro.. so i went,, and at this point i understood what i was doing was wrong..
the man was very nice , he really liked a girl, he spent alot of money to make her happy and i was looking at him and thinking how rude is all this what was happening at that moment.. so next day i called that man and appologized to him and told him the whole truth.. he was disappointed and didnt know what to do.. and he asked me to meet him.. we spoke and spoke we had a nice time i showed him the city and he thanked me and gave me much more that i earned in two months in that agency..so i had this idea.. why dont i work with tourists to help them to avoid the scammers.. and thats how i started to do my own business.. now i have small website and have many clients here in odessa who use my sereves..
i help them with everything.. to avoid scammers, such as girls from online dating websites, taxi drivers that make them pay much more then they suppose to pay, translating and many other things, or just giving them company and show the city.. as many people who doesnt have friends here might have problems because of language barrier..i call myself with proud : i am a friend of every tourist comming to odessa.. i am always ready to help.. this is my website u can find infomation about me and call me anytime 24/7.. i work alone i have no employees. to make sure that my client will leave odessa much happier then when he came here.
Odessa-help.com
for more information.. call me on the number that u will find on my website or send me e-mail..
always ready to help..
good luck guys!!
Now that’s funny – AnastasiaDate actually responds via “Gregory” – the ADate customer service rep. That should only confirm that this firm and their other sites, asianbeauties.com and amolatina.com are absolute 100% scams. They pay every single woman to read your letter (you have to pay 10 credits for your letter to be “translated” and you have to pay another 10 credits to read the “response” – this is nothing more than down-line agencies generating income with ADate along for the ride. If you don’t mind paying someone to chat with you – about $120 per hour via video chat, then go ahead, but just google this firm and the vitriol about their operations – this should suffice you to run fast in the opposite direction!!
With google translate, you can easily search out what I am saying, and of course you can also verify what “Gregory” is spouting . . . it’s your money.
Gregory sounds so real both on emails and Skype…for competitors its wise to know that this site is the best worldwide and every person should take time to know more about it before developing the negative attitude….am personally contented with anastaciadate.com
I too have discovered, after spending over a thousand dollars, over several years, that AD is indeed a fake dating site.
1. Isn’t it odd that every other dating site that is legitimate does not forbid the exchange of contact details between its members but AD does. AD tries to claim some marriage act forbids it to release such information. Utter BS! If that were true then every other dating site would be in breach of the law for permitting the exchange of contact details. And even if there were such a law as I am not an American it does not apply to me!
2. Isn’t it odd that as soon as I log on to AD I immediately get chat requests with phrases and questions that no woman could type so quickly. That means they are auto responders that send out chat prompts to men logging on. Then when I asked an AD woman what she just sent to me she has no idea what was sent to me prior to my sending my first message back to her.
3. Isn’t it odd that if I have already corresponded with a woman on AD and then just a week later I engage in chat with her she has no idea who I am. It’s as though she is completely and utterly clueless of me. If she truly wrote me the letter personally herself surely she would remember my profile and therefore start the chat session following on with what I had written to her in my letter. But again she is utterly clueless!
4. Isn’t it odd that I get the same “initial” letter from the same woman when I delete my profile and create a new one a year later. Yes, that’s how I discovered that all the letters are actually pre-written and if you click on any profile and save it to your favorite folder then their system will send out the first letter automatically to you several days later, sometimes weeks later, and especially when you delete the profile from your favorite folder before any letter was sent to you by that lady. So when I got the same letter and compared it to the one I had previously saved and discovered it was word for word identical it was obvious this site was an elaborate scam. I have since asked a number of my friends to create fake profiles on AD and to click on the same group of women that I had in my folder to see what we get sent. Everyone of us got exactly the same letters sent to us word for word for word.
One woman admitted to me that she does get benefits from being a member of what they refer to as Club Anastasia. She has left the site as she felt guilty of pretending to be sincere when she had no intention of marrying someone old enough to be her father.
So men stop falling for this site! I did and paid for it dearly!
I am not against AD in any way. I realize now it is nothing more than a pay for chat service. The women get what they want out of it, the men think they are searching for a prospective future wife but will never actually find her there and the site operators well they are laughing all the way and making a fortune out of it. Good luck to them and the women if that makes you think you are providing a valuable service to humanity!
I now no longer buy credits on AD and have left the site. I wish it was a real site as many women there are absolutely stunning but I know it is not what it is promoting itself to be.
AD Customer Service please don’t bother replying to this comment as nothing you say will change the experience that I encountered on your site over more than one year.
And I still see many of the same profiles on the AD site as they had up over 2 or 3 years ago. If those attractive women were sincerely searching for a husband from a foreign country they would NOT still be single years later writing the same stupid letters and the same stupid chat comments “I am here for love, what you here for?” and “Are you here only for 3 minutes?” Because you get the first three minutes for free now but then that means those women don’t get any benefit out of it either unless they entice you to speak to them beyond those three minutes. If they got no money or rewards or prizes, or whatever out of it then why do many women ask me if I will even speak to them beyond that time or those that get frustrated with me if I don’t. It’s all a scam!
If you really want to find a wife from the Ukraine it would be cheaper to buy an airplane ticket and book an apartment for 3 to 6 months and go there and place an ad in their local magazines or social media sites or go to the bars and mingle. You will surely have more luck and FUN that way than through AD via their stupid chat service where you can barely write a few sentences and you have been charged $8 to $10 for the session as it costs so much per minute depending on the exchange rate you are in as well.
Dear AnastasiaDate Customer Service,
if you are so sincerely interested in fighting scammers as you claim above, then why have you not yet reacted on my request to remove the profile of a scammer I caught red-handed being already engaged to a Ukrainian man and still dating Western men through your site?
Your site guarantees a response within 24 hours, yet after more than 2 weeks and two reminders I am yet to receive any acknowledgement of my request from you.
I will believe your talk of anti-scam when you can prove you will also act accordingly.
Dear Anastasiadate Anti-Scam division,
About 2 years ago, I complained about a date I had in Nikolaev. The interpreter for the date, whom I had gotten to know quite well during the whole day date, had been married a few months earlier and showed me her wedding photos and told all about her wedding day experiences throughout the day. I was shocked to see that she had a profile on your site, which I discovered soon after I returned home.
I complained to your site, and basically you told me to prove it. Ha! I replied the best I could, with photos from our date to confirm the woman’s identity and with a copy of her hand-written phone number so you could call her directly. I also provided some of the stories she told of her football star husband, whom I briefly met when he came in the taxi to pick up the 2 girls at the end of our date. I thought you could call her up and confront her with the story details, the photos, etc…
Instead, you finally wrote me 2 weeks later and said the girl provided a copy of her passport which proved that she was not married. Ha again! Probably a 3 month old copy from before her wedding! No refunds or sympathy from your site.
I continued to use your site, with more caution, but I only found heavily-photoshopped photos, “pro daters” just like the earlier complaint from the doctor above, and “no-show” women who disappear when I finally make it to Ukraine.
In my journeys to Ukraine, I even met an agency owner who told me his agency does not want real dates, just letter-writing and chat. He doesn’t want to lose the revenue generated by his most popular girls, so he lets them keep half of the money the translator receives for the date. In other words, after the date, the girls “go around the corner” and split the proceeds. They even have a term for this – “quick money” – a perk for the girl for working up the chats and writing the letters.
From my experiences with your site, I would lower your estimate of good girls from 99% to under 50%. Basically, it’s a cesspool of scamming, pro-dating and insincerity. Too bad most men don’t realize it until they are victims with much lighter wallets and broken hearts.
I haven been using Anastasia for about four months writing with one women who looks very sincere to me. After she got my birthday gift and my mail address she was trying to keep my online. I refused of course. It’s obviously: she is getting paid by her local agent for chatting and writing letters. My conclusion: A so called ‘confirmed profile’ means nothing.
anastasiadate.com is just a scam agency and a scam provider.
the services provided are and have proved to be a FRAUD.
THE SERVICE PROVIDED HAVE PROVED TO BE JUST A WASTE OF MONEY , AND LEAD TO NOTHING.
AS FOR THE LADIES REGISTERED ON THE WEBSITE ,THEY ARE ALL PROFESSINAL SCAMMERS WORKING FOR DIFFERENT AGENCIES AT THE SAME TIME…
AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY TO MEET IN REAL LIFE.
AS IT HAS BEEN PROVED , THESE LADIES SIMPLY PROVIDE THERE PHOTOS , AND THE AGENCY IS THE SCAM PROVIDER, AS FOR THE LETTERS , THE LETTERS ARE NOT WRITTEN BY THE LADIES.AS IT HAS BEEN PROVED.
Yesterday after five years and many..( many) thousands if dollars I deleted my so called VIP account.
Yes Gregory is real.
Now… I am affiliated to no one other than myself.
Yes Anastasia does use their anti-scam programme and if proven reimburses fees or costs.
I wrote to, chatted and meet with a lady over four years but on trips to Odessa was very standoffish ( un affectionate) and avoided commitment but yes had fallen for her. Now like most scams….” can’t meet going to care for sick Aunty in Russia ))))
One day while in chat I did an instant call…trust me this works beautifully…she answered))…. Ready though…her answer ” Hi…oh I just arrived in Odessa”.. Me… ” when did you arrive Odessa” …her “Today”
Now switch back to the chat screen…type..Elena where are you…”I tell you Russia”
What you doing?
” walk with sick Aunty”” now back in apartment!”
Oh how’s the weather in Russia?
” not nice cold.
Now switch back to phone call…
So Elena you are in Odessa yes…”da” ..so who is chatting to me on line now telling me all about your day in Russia?
“What you talking about??”
Switch to chat…
Who are you? I am talking to Elena now on phone in Odessa..
You guessed it)))…. Straight off line.
Now whose is lying…Anastasia? Agency, lady, ..conclusion all to a degree as the all are making money.
I took screen shots and phone times and numbers…and complained…now to their credit Anastasia reimbursed over $4000. This must of hurt but it’s a drop in the hat when I think of the hours away from work, flights, travelling 30 hours each way on flights, dinners etc etc
I am lucky money is money but I “HATE” scams.
Now…. Complaints..fate
.1. Pop ups are computer programmed..not real.
2. Ladies are paid to be on cam ( by agents not necessary Anastasia)
3. Agencies Interupters write the letters to you not the woman.
Until it gets serious the woman you think you are writing too has no idea until you talk about meeting or try to call.
If you try to call and they cannot get I touch with the woman, then she is busy, ill or out of the city on business, have don’t have jobs interesting??
4. When you meet many woman have never seen nor read any letter you think you have written or communicated with them.
5. This does not mean they are not genuine just un-informed…first positive then it’s up to their interest. ( remember as everyone writes..it’s not in the agency’s fir a connection)
Some Interupters are honest and help some are only interested in money.
6. Many woman get paid by agencies to keep their profiles on. Think about it a beautiful woman is great for Anastasia. If also gives the agents ( distributors) more power with Anastasia. So it’s not their interest to lose any.
7. Many woman are on multiple sites regardless of Anastasia’s stance…really so what..so are you!
So.
Chat is a waste of time…complete lies and the biggest scam.
Letters are very close to chat!!
Everything as already stated … is to keep you away from personal contact and exchange of personal details.
What to do… Ok so write but have quick plan to come …come during tour.. And see who meets…phone… in they don’t want to exchange phone or e-mail details..ditch them… as the all have two phones and e-mail…don’t accept excuses.
There are many genuine woman here…but it’s hard to navigate the corrupt agencies.
Other scams experienced…
Chats by agents, or Interupters
Letters as above.
Meetings arranged where woman knows nothing of the ten letters previously exchanged.
Woman using other woman side ties to communicate…you are not talking to who you think you are!!
Interupters friends with woman split money.
On and on
How do I know??? Five years thousand of dollars later…good friends with two x Interupers from Anastasia and two women who have left the site disillusioned with the lies they were asked to adhere to.
I have meet some nice ladies but in reflection using this site to do it was not worth it.
Conclusion..save you money.
I personally had a bad experience at anastasia. I’m not sure how it is now but I used it back in 2011-2012 and there was many scammers. There were also real girls, but I found that it’s really a lot of work to sort things out because sometimes you can spot the problem right after the first mail, but sometimes you need more time because some scammers are smart. So I prefer other sites in which scammers are not able to register easily. Now, like I said my opinion dates back 2 years ago so I have no idea how it is now, but I suspect it has not changed much. It’s the same on Russiancupid: many women, but too many scammers: it takes too much time and energy, at some point you just don’t want to report them.
-Marc
Ok, I hear people saying it is scam, while like this site, I have gotten lots of letters and almost every letter has photos in it, and these are photos form there personal life, I don’t it scam, if was scam would site help you book a trip, Visa Help, Apparment rental?
Would they be a big TV networks talking about the wed site? Having actor Antonio Saboto jr- talking about the site, I life is what make of it, there always some who is complaining
I have read all of these comments about Anastasia. I must be one of the rare one’s it has worked for. I have been a member there for 5 months now and in that time, I have only chatted to one woman. I went over in April of this year for a week to see her and we had a really good time together. We had exchanged email addresses, so it made it a lot cheaper to talk to each other, as I know it can get expensive chatting and doing letters on the dating site, we still talk to each other every day for a couple of hours on Skype or by email. She is coming to see me in England in August and we are both looking forward to seeing each other in person again. I am a retired man of 62 years of age, I am not a rich man, but enjoy life. My lady is 49 years of age, she knows what I am like and what I can offer, all she wants, is to be loved and have a good family life again, which is the same for me.
I think it helps with use both being more mature people, Most of the girls you see on Anastasia are young and to look at most of them, you would think they are models and when I was in Odessa for that week with my lady, it was rare I saw any ladies like that. I know one of the translator girls very well, as she is a friend of my ladies and now mine. she says the ladies are all made up and use a professional to do the profile pictures of them, so this is why they look so good on there profiles. I am happy to say, my lady looks better in the natural than on her profile photo. As for getting paid for chatting etc, they get paid in credits, as my lady has told me this.
All I can say to you, is this. I has worked for me, but I do know men it hasn’t worked for and they become bitter about the dating site, but if you use your head and your heart, you can find love there as I have. The one thing I will say about this dating site is it is expensive and every thing you do on there costs you. If you know she is the right lady for you, make the phone call through the dating site, get her personal contact numbers as I did and it will save you a fortune and if the lady says what she is and show commitment to you as mine has done, all will be ok, but if they just want to keep chatting on the dating site and not give out any personal details to you, steer clear of them as this will just come to nothing and cost you a lot of money doing so. When I went to Odessa, I booked my own flight and booked my own apartment online as using the dating site is more expensive, so use your head if you are going out to see your lady, you can save money that way. It was lovely to arrive at Odessa airport and see a big smiling face waiting for me, having a wonderful week together and even when I went home, see came to the airport with me at 5am in the morning to see me off.
Don’t be put off. just use your head and not your wallet. there is some one for every one out there, but just be careful.
Best wishes.
Steve.

Visited Kiev 3 weeks ago (beginning of May 2014).
I speak Russian (i.e. I am very well understood by Ukrainians who are in essence all fluent in Russian) and know my way around there quite well, i.e. no naive or easy to to be fooled American etc.
AnastasiaDate is a cleverly structured and cleverly operated yet still a FAKE business and $$$ milking scheme with nothing to offer as far as actually communicating with any bona fide dating/marriage interested females in Ukraine or Russia.
Also notice: There are no, even pretended “success stories” on their webstite …. because there are no real in person dates taking place to start with.
You are in essence lead to waste your credit card charges on silly online “chat” where you do not communicate with females interested in finding a date, not to mention a marriage candidate.
Females – and some males – are just typing – in general non-committal, idle blah-blah of shallow, routine nature with the only and sole objective: to keep the clock running and your “credits” you naively purchased AND are in bait-and-switch illegal trick “automatically” billed for in $20 steps.
In essence, the “noble” AnastadiaDate is credit card on or beyond law-edge milking operation similar to porno-sites.
Woman are not real and there is NONE of them actually interested in meeting you over there because this is not why AnastasiaDate is in business.
And if you are so persistent and travel to the town where your make-believe “lady” supposedly resides and ask to meet her (again via $$$ billing, credit card charges clicking website of AD) you will get:
1) made up excuses why she is not available to meet you
2) at the best – when you are really horny for this fake operation and you are still spending $$$ via AD “chat” while in a hotel over there, they send you a “sweeper” a “step-in” for that beautifull girl you “know” from your online chats.
FCC and Australian authorities should have taken this operation out of business long time ago.

Anastasia Live Support
You may find that information at http://www.anastasiadate.com/bonus-program.html
Anastasia Live Support

Terry
yes..but that contrdicts what you said…i have to purchase more prodicts to earn the 150
Anastasia Live Support
I did not say that you get bonus points for free, but you do not purchase them either
Terry
okay…as a tip, the one thing that puts me off is the ladies all seem to send a pre prepared opening letter, none look at the profile and adress the issues that are mentioned…they are beautiful but lazy and puts me off
did not get your response it says yo entered text
Anastasia Live Support has left the conversation.
Anastasia Live Support
The first letters (we call them presentation letters) may be generic, ladies usually write them once and then send to whoever matches their criteria
Terry
so all this about falling in love and sleeping in my arms, that theyhave read my profile and have a connection is complete and uttter deception
Anastasia Live Support
Not always, but sometimes it is not entirely exact description of how they feel
Terry
you were writing something else but it has not come through
Anastasia Live Support
I don’t think so, sir.
Terry
okay…well, it is as I thought, a chat site not a dating site, I will post your remarks about the deception on the review sites available on the net
Anastasia Live Support
Online dating is not the same as regular dating, that’s for sure. As for the first letters, we made them free exactly because they tend to be generic. Second letters and the ones after that are usually more personal
Terry
but people respond to a first letter and it costs, that is deception
you are struggling to defend your actions…
Anastasia Live Support
Presentation letters just let you know about the ladies and that they may be compatible, but then it is up to you whether you begin your communication or not
Terry
No, the initial letter says they have read my profile and fin dme to be the person they want to be with…so what you are telling me is that they want to be with many people and many people men so much to them and many people have created a spark in their hearts..
Anastasia Live Support
What I am saying is they want to attract your attention in most cases, and they mostly do not confess in love from the letter one
Anastasia Live Support
Mostly they just tell you about themselves
Terry
that is simply not true, the letter is written to make the reader believe they want to start relatios with them…it is the same with the pop up stuff for instant chat. You know what i am saying is true, admit to that….i am giving you ample opportunity to make your case before putting this on the web. Please make it
Anastasia Live Support
You asked how it is and I replied. Do you have any other questions for me?
Terry
yes, will you admit that this site is a chat site and not a dating site
will you admit that it is to extract money by decieving people looking for romance
will you admit that the letters are prepreared
will you admit that the sendr of the letter is not the author
Anastasia Live Support
No, because that is not true
Terry
your comments above indicate it is true…which part is not
Anastasia Live Support
None of it
Terry
Surely if you are a legitimate site you would have answers
you have said the first letter is one sent to many…is that rue
Anastasia Live Support has left the conversation.
Terry
Can you let me know why you left the conversation
This is the biggest scam ever seen in this world!
I just wonder how is this thing still working and makes tons of money!
I have posted a profile there without a picture , saying I am 63 year old,1.73, 145 kilos
I still get messages from 20 years old girls saying how much they love me and they want to marry me.
They must be in love with my wallet off course!
You guys just save your asses and pretect your hearts and your wallets!
Do not spend a single cent there!
It’s all a fake!
Hi Wade. Please send me the web code for videos of asiandate.com. I have a lot of doubts about the site services, too. But, i realy like a girl from there and i want to see her video for free ( tired of pay the credit). Can you help me?
My mail is [email protected] . Thanks.
Yes.. I was a member of this anastasia date site for quite some time.. they advertise a no-scam guarantee. the site does not help a western man from the unites states find their true love! The girls who probably correspond with many men at once are not legitamite.. I am a very good looking man and even i can see the young girls like to play games with men… They know they will never meet them, so they string the man along in chat hoping they are dumb enough to continue doing so… Don’t waste your time and money on this site… It does not work like so many promises they say!! Robert
Don’t trust AnastasiaDate, HotRussianBrides, Dreammarriage
Millions don’t account for the BILLIONS SCAMMED.
Stop adding to their bullshit. Toss those cunts in Ukraine prison.
Serioulsy.
Elinabest118 is a escort in dubai, she marriaed to her photographer who pimps her out.
Hell she only goes on dates to get her 20% and use her U-princess card to scam you a % of wherever you eat at. She will yell at you for asking for her on VIDEO in KIEV. But she will right letters, and expect letters and replies but if you want to MEET HER. SHE’S NOT BUSY OR IN CITY, but you go on TINDER IN KIEV and she is sitting in BASEINA/GULLIVER MALL whatever? On a profile saying “2000 UAH HOUR Girlfriend?”
its truth GOOGLE Uprinces yellow card. Find out everything yourself on VK
Men wake up. Learn this
hello i completely may confirm, that Anastasiadate is a scammer site.I was there member for 6 weeks last year, not for searching a woman, but for investigating.Since 5 years, internet scam-investigating is one of my hobbies,because a Russian woman from St.Petersburg tried to scam me in 2010.Fortunately i was very careful and started to make investigations about her, when she seemed to me suspectly. .I´m member of several german-ukrainian ethernet
communities,where dating-scam naturally is a theme..Even during the short period of time at Anastasiadate I found there more than 20 ladies , later i had contact on VK or Odnoklasniki .Not anyone of them really was interested in a partnership, one was married yet,but all, i have found, were active on Anastasiadate to make money in cooperation with the site.But from other experiences at a lot of other sites,i know, that also abused fotos oftenly are the fundament for faked profiles.
How do you explain this then – Anastasia advertising on-line for scammers? copy and paste работа брачное агентство into google and read http://www.anastasiadate.com advertising job vacancies in Russia and Ukraine for local translators to work as ‘Work Bride Scammers’ scamming lonely foreigners. And http://www.anastasiadate.com advertising payment and ongoing commission to local models in Russia and Ukraine for a professional photo shoot to create clean profiles to be used by the work brides to scam lonely foreigners. You lying bastard coming on here advertising your US$140,000,000 scam industry which is also a front for prostitution.
Hi Guys,
I am from Hungary, and had the same experiences with these sites. Anastasiadate.com and ukraina-women.com are fully scammer sites.
2 years ago at anastasia and now at uukraina-women I had the same experiences:
Within 2 days over 100 very pretty, young, genuin and brilliant girls wrote me love letters (initially)! I’m over 55 y.o.! Even if she indicated on her profile up to 45 she is looking for….but mostly they were interested in men up to 70-76 y.o.! Alone that must make us suspicious! After 1.letter you are charged to read (!) and write letters to anybody of them! (At Anastasia I spent some $s writing letters, but not over 20 $s. It had no sense) If you try to tell them e.g.yr email, you will be banned/suspended. And at Ukraina-women I ‘ve learned you have to get min. 15 letters (and to be charged for) from a girl to get private email or tel.nr of her! So at that point I deleted my profile, thus came out from this only losing time.
I advice you, never registrate on these sites.
Anastasiadate is a great exploitation and fraud, They have made a lot of money from me, some of the girls are just a few photos and a person talking to you so you could spend a lot of money on the site, the girl are well paid by this site, if you go there the same girls take turn being in there are there for 10 to 12 hours Aday, many of them give you the same srory if you text Themon the site, like my phoine in under store to get or my mother at my child sleep in my room, I log on to the site with a second has messages, talk to them or cAM on the site, you could see they are talking to another man and say they are not, this site is a great big scam and they are taking hard earn money man, have to take each $ 1,200 USD $ from me and will not do anything about it, gys allow you to take this site down that are paying girl here, thease girls are not real, how we get owl money behind them and how we take this site down, which have been getting away with it so long now, this is why the man does not trust a plenty of room and and Russain and Ukriane women, do not forget the boys to girls in Thaty site does not have to pay yoiu do, this site is a great fraud and SCASM, let’s do something about getting to take Internet, Robert
I scammed and I’m glad it was not an expensive pair of shoes or something. Guys..if decide to do this carefully. I know legitimate girls, so I just wanted to have drinks and talk … but the men … be prepared to walk away !! If she takes you to a store walk !!! Do you think the guys from Ukraine and Russia put up with that ??? And it is not a cultural issue. Guys you should not be buying gifts of any kind unless it is intimate and in a relationship with the girl. Guys, if you choose to go across the world … careful..be be willing to walk away and see the red flags !!
Hello,
I have proof that Anastasia Dating is a scam. I received an insider
of an employee. She told me that between 100 and 200, men are visiting each year
Odessa in Ukraine. Only one or two of these men marry women !!!
It is all about creating a small income for girls, but much more for the site and
a lot of people associated translaters to restaurants. It is an industry scam.
I wonder if someone has already initiated legal action.
We hope this helps someone
To confirm my suspicions about Anastasia Date, I registered 2 different screen names, using 2 different email addresses; I presented different data bio, ages and photos. Women who aggressively pursue me under one name, did the same VERBATIM when I used the other profile username and email address!
Anyone who has ever been to the site will notice that women will apply for talk time using identical sex supplements come … no matter how far they can live. Men also realize that women practically beg to keep the chat and receive emails and photos of the guys … I have a strong suspicion that women receive a cut of the money men pay to chat and send mail! Does anyone have any additional information on that aspect of the operation? I am anxious to know!
Stay away from SITE Anastasia and others like him
I have posted a profile there without any Stock photo and my weight is 150 kilos, 60 years old .
I still get messages from girls aged 20 years.
What is an model 20 years looking old and an obese man 60 years?
They were not looking for the love ofcourse , but they were looking for my wallet .
When they I joined the room I received emails and chat requests at 3.00 after midnight! What are those girls go three after midnight?
I think the chances of finding a woman are not the same as winning the lottery!
I literally hundreds of photos of women on the site swindler with their boyfriends and husbands. They are paid to be there. A Date pays the agency undergoing women and the agency pays women.
Stop using garbage *** services to meet women. If you are spending more than $ 50 a month for a service that is being ripped off!
Women with the profile of course have an account at all major scam sites, hotrussianbrides, find girlfriend, veronikalove, natashaclub, etc. I would say maybe 3-5% of women in these sites are looking for someone. That’s a poor return for men who have injected billions of dollars on these sites over the years. And they have found anyone.
Stop using these fraudulent sites. I have a list of honest services. Most are free !!!!
The site is definitely a scam. One fact is that they claim that the women are luve on camshare. Some times they are. Sometimes they’re not. I have witnessed the woman that I chatted with wearing the exact same clothes 2-3 days in a row. Plus, the video that is a repeat ftom the same day. I noticed ithe same individuals walk past windows multiple times. Usually within 5-10 minutes. Also, the womentire that I chatted with would never give you any of their personal contact information. Even after talking with them for years. Then there’s the fact that I have proof of them using a fake billing address. And! Chat is not secure! Other women can see what a man has conversed about with another woman. The reason why I know is because the women send chat invites containing parts of a conversation you had previously.

I like your review on Anastasiadate. I agree with you on what you mentioned but you didn’t mention the Robots AnastasiaDate / RussianBrides employ. Nor did you mention the software generated hand wave used in VIDEO SHARE which has also been used elsewhere in commercial fraud.
https://youtu.be/vbCL93zATCs?t=298
After RussianBrides stole from my credit card account with their FREE CHAT I spent 2 months hacking their website. There agencies in Ukraine are known for shooting their IT employees – https://youtu.be/uhJPdfbYMOU?t=550

Character:
I am an active and fun loving person. I enjoy Tramping, Swimming, walks on the beach, good communication and candle lit dinners. I spent the last 7 years in prison for killing my wife but I believe I am now fully rehabilitated and pose no further threat to the community. I have the AIDS virus from being raped while in Prison. I am excessively obese and restricted to a mobility scooter.
Interests:
I enjoy the great outdoors, tramping and daily walks. I swim 4 times a week. I loved competition dancing but I have not danced for 8 years. I spend most of my time in my workshop making things and running my business.
Looking For Type:
If you are an out-cast in your village for selling your mothers cow to buy grease to put on your face to attract western men………only I can save you. I am searching for a financially wealthy and honest lady to spend the rest of my life with. No Transexuals. No games. I am not interested in FREE CHAT or CAM SHARE. I am only interesting in contacting honest ladies 50 to 56 years old
I personal changed my account details and numbers to stop this fraud that took over £750 in charges that was illegal and deception ,how did it occur they just removed the original order to a repeat month amount from £15 to £325 per month and failed to answer my mail ,they know that if they reply then my bank will have the evidence as it is the bank knew that it was fraud taking place hence the change of account numbers
ASKED TO HAVE MY PROFILE DELETED. All they want to do is stop sending me notification emails. Very clearly a scam if refusing to delete accounts. Also added me to other dating sites that are linked. Same problem
It is just not Anastasia or Charmdate. There are many sites the local agencies sell their services too. I was burned, so I started digging into the scam.
I am lucky enough to have a job where I can work from anywhere. So, I have been back to Ukraine many times this past year digging into this scam. I have visited local agencies, taken pictures of men and women sitting around writing letters or chatting with foreign men. One girl I interviewed logged into her admin console and started a chat session with a man, she was speaking too.
She is a translator for a local agency. She has about 400 clients she communicates everyday with by either writing letters or chatting. But the catch is the person on the other end is not chatting with her (translator) picture, but the picture of a lady that had her pictures professionally taken and posted on the site.
The girl is a student and makes about 20 to 25 UAH per letter and 6 UAH per minute of chat. The admin console is amazing in how she sees her clients on the left and can have multiple fields open on the right. She can chat with many men at one time. She has notes on each man, but mainly the chats and letters are general. General as in copy and paste, so as to not be specific to a given man.
I have just returned to the US after my last visit of 180 days. Yes, I was able to extend my visit by taking a little 1 week holiday to Montenegro 🙂
This has become such a huge industry, the chances of a man finding a real woman is getting further and far between. I was lucky to meeting a lady just by living like a normal person.
More needs to be spread about this industry and how it is hurting the image of said country.
You are a lying sack of shit! I know for a 100% you know what you’re doing I can prove it in court and will I’m going to start a class action lawsuit against you I will bring you to your knees. I do biometrics I know the difference and facial recognition an iris recognition that means I can determine 100% a pre-recorded video or a live chat video 95% of all of your videos both on Russian bride at Anastasia date.com are fake pre-recorded I also hired private investigator and the Ukrainian government I have your girls passports cell phone numbers boyfriends the boyfriend cell phone numbers the travel arrangements everything they’ve done and do. You hire and pay models you take there pictures and you do three pre-recorded videos in three different outfits you put these on every third day your girls are on line at certain times I’ve timed them and recorded them let me give you an example will call this girl Olga she gets on at 9:30 She gets off at 3:30 she’s on charm date from 4 o’clock until three in the morning. When I did a background check on her she was in Germany playing pool with a time and date stamp on Instagram But also in Kiev on live video chat you don’t need to spend millions of dollars on anti-fraud because you’re the company causing the fraud save your money because it’s you you scumbag lowlife trash I have more that enough information documentation and proof of what I’m saying you can ignore it I’m going to do everything in my power to bring you down a already filed complaints with iTunes Apple I’m sending them all the proof I also am filing a complaint with the new attorney general and the Attorney General’s office both in New York City I’m also going to file a complaint with Ukrainian consulate in the Ukrainian government I will send them all the proof I’m going to close you down you stole money from me lots of money you mids lead me and lied to me my email is Tim Lund [email protected] email me I’ll send you a little sample a proof that it’s you your mafia shit comes to an end today
I told you to take this off please!! I did not post this and someone cut and paste it from My BBB complaint in which AnastasiaDate fixed all my problems and I highly recommend them to everyone ! Go To Anastasiadate .com Thanks Tim Lund ! [email protected]
I didn’t spend a nickel. As soon as I saw 8 gallion hot chicks wanting to chat, while i hadn’t even posted a profile yet, I knew it was fake.
I agree, any women this beautiful do not need a dating site to get a mans attention, I saw fake and fraud right away…
Why all There Letters send on my Profile have translate by agency? soo its not the girl language or letter theyve translate? i want a replay pls. thnk you
What you can try is to change your name in your profile on AnastasiaDate. If you change e.g. the name Cly to Niklas, then all your old letters will say “dear Niklas”. It is linked the name you have filled in your profile, all letters will be changed each time you choose a new name. Then you will see that it is not only a person who received this letter but a mass mailing. the letter is the same for all men but they must link to your profile name in order for it to appear as if it is a personal letter to you.
I think, that thousands of Men, have found out that it is a fake Site. But how to stop it? I have been there shortly around 4 years back in time, and experienced what other also did. I asked to get my profile removed, and deleted, and I did not think more about that Site.
But suddenly, around a Month ago, I began to receive emails from womens, which have reflected on “my profile” on the following Sites.
http://www.arabiandate.com
http://www.amolatina.com
http://www.asiandate.com
http://www.yourtravelmates.com
And I was of course, very surprised how it was possible, that I suddenly could have profiles on these Sites, well knowing that I never had made any profiles there. So i wrote to there customer service, and asked how it was possible, and from where they got “my profile”.
And the answer back was, that by there rules, when you have a profile on Anastasidate.com you also agree to make profiles on other Sites.
So even that I 4 years back in time did ask to get my Profile deleted from Anastasiadate, they did not delete it, and now they send out a fake profile in my name, on these new created Sites, so they can make millions of $$ on these fake profiles. I’m fully schocked.
But I really want to find a way to get it possible to stop these fraud, and criminal acts. But I have so far, not found any Country, who seems to take any of this fraud, serious, and get it stopped!
So why is’n it possible to get this stopped??
I wanted to stop getting this fake email so I changed my profile worse than the sickest criminal rapist murderer in history. You know what? I got letters saying they liked my profile and we share the same interests!
Guys save yourselves a lot of pain and suffering. Copy and paste the works работа брачное агентство into google or Yandex and into the Eastern Europian social media VK and read job vacancies for “Work Brides” (scammer whores) to scam lonely foreigners. And free photo shoots for local models to create clean profiles to be used by the Work Brides to scam lonely foreigners.
well, much better than Google, run the search “работа брачное агентство” on yandex.ua and yandex.ru.

Ukraine is the biggest powerhouse of corruption on the whole continent.
The guys running these scams can be located. So it’s possible for savvy people to get them physically badly hurted.
its not just americans getting scammed like you said but some of us brits too
Australia as well. They target countries with people that have more money than brains and take them for anything they’ve got.
Hi my name is Albert I had a problem A’s well this morning I buy R 864 for 80 credit s but I didn’t received my credit and now I can’t get hold off now one
Hi Albert, please stop with this site as it is a scam. I was personally a few times in Ukraine to meet and know all. I have become close to a few girls and translators and they did tell me really how it works. You can contact me at [email protected]
I am constantly amused at reading about men’s stupidity to pay for a clear scam. Do you use your brain at least a bit? I do: beautiful women constantly are engaged: with men in their jobs, nowhere else you can get them. Women with common look registered at uncharged local dating sites do not scam, except for those redirecting you to charged dating sites. If you do not have a job in a close vicinity of beautiful women, you never get them – sad but true. And that’s all. How simple!
After ten years, I finally closed my profile. Many years ago this was a legitimate site. There were actually romance tours that produced marriages. That ended years ago. Still, there were ladies who were sincere about getting married. Now the ladies get paid to chat and all the letters being written are by the local agencies. The chances of finding a future wife on this site is almost nil. One lady (local agency) has written 88 letters to me. That should tell you something! This site, IMHO, is completely fake. Maybe social media can help to educate men in America to not give money to these trolls.
Dear Mike,
My name is Dennis de Wit. I am a student on Journalism and making a graduation project about dating sites. I am looking for a victim of Ukrainian and Russian datingsites.
I would like to plan an interview with you. Because I am in The Netherlands, we could do it over Skype.
If you are interested, please let me know.
Thank you,
Dennis de Wit
I have a story for you.
Hoi Dennis wat wil je weten over die fake site. Ik heb er 5 maanden op gezeten. Vraag wat je wil weten. En heb er nog steeds een account. Je kan je account niet eens verwijderen. Je mag zelf kijken op de fake site met mijn account. Dan zie je wat voor berichten je krijg en wat voor brieven je krijg en veel meer. Wens je een fijne avond.
I can provide you several stories and have documented as much as possible
I have been taken for thousands of dollars from Anastasia! Three separate women all of whom you put faith in. Because the site was supposed to be legitimate. I feel like she should have to pay everyone there damm money back. She needs prosecution!
I found Anastasia Date a couple days ago.
Once I wrote my name and email, the letters started to arrive.. With no pictures and withut I had wrote a single word about my self!
Then, I even wrote something, still with no pictures..
When I got home tonight my email wass flooded with letters in such a way as may have being for Justin Bieber on his best moments hahaha.
And, by the way, is there no average women on Ukraine? What a paradise on earth lol
I did not get scammed by any woman. I canceled after spending $15. The problem is the company kept coming back to get $10 every 3 months. Now I am going to get my $40 back from the credit card company.
Yes, after years as a customer….spending thousands of dollars for prewritten false kliché-letters written by local agency administrators etc. and talking to and receiving witness from many women in Ukraine it was completely clear to me that ANASTASIADATE:COM has become a very well organized FRAUD. Telephone service, Chat…etc. its all a professionelly organised MONEY SCAM.
Even the photos are false (photo-shoped)
Total fake guys!! Have been messaged on Anastasia date at the precise moment I was texting with the same girl from Ukraine!!! We have become friends over the years. She did not even know she had a profile on that site!! Total scam!!! Save your hard earned money!!!
Yeah, I definitely found numerous dating profiles from Anastasia Date , which are either married with kids(but claiming to be single with no kids) or involved in long term relationships. These days, you can ID the faces from FindFace online service. Its shocking how many girls are fake.
Its sad that Anastasia Date is tricking guys into pay crazy amount of money to talk to someone, who they hope will become their wives – which will never happen.
Georg here–
same scam worked on me for 2 days.
Slowly, I realized that women, even young women, do not write or communicate like the TXT or Emails….
The correspondents are fat beer dudes in a basement somewhere in Eastern Europe, monitoring these chat boxes and emails, taking in the Fees… like MINE !
EVEN THE PHOTOS ARE FAKE….!
It cost me about EUR 4 , because I distanced the fee draws on PayPal, and then blocked the charges at my Bank.
Good Lesson for EUR 4…… RUN, DON’T WALK, TO THE EXIT..!!
DONT TOUICH THIS SITE.
Gus here,
I have been on-and-off AnastasiaDate for four years. At first, I thought it was a really good opportunity to meet loving ladies and perhaps meet my future wife. I have met three ladies from Ukraine which took in six visits in total. Needless to say, this cost a small fortune. The first lady I met (Oksana Marenich) was such a very nice lady. It didn’t take long for her to start screwing me for money. I didn’t mind at first as I thought I was helping her get by. However, it started to get extortionate. I was seeing her for 18 months. The second and third ladies were the same. They expect western men to spend a fortune on them. The only thing that was real, was the ladies themselves. We men have to ask ourselves this: why are these beautiful women on this site? The fact that I have been on this site for years (Much to my own stupidity) has given me the opportunity to see the same beautiful women are still on this site. It beggars belief that they have not been snapped up by western men. This site is a highly sophisticated scam. I’m sorry to admit this, but we me are cannon-fodder for this kind of site. I think we are all suffering from delusions of grandeur. I consider myself a good looking guy and I’m immaculately turned out. I have been in business all my adult life but I have been stung and I’m not afraid to admit it. I should say the ladies that I was writing to me did show up and the first dates were very successful but at a cost. I must admit, though, I got laid on all occasions. Might as well look on the positive side. Waking up next to what can only be described as unadulterated beauty was a wonderful experience. My advice now is this: stick close to home as it will be more beneficial to your wallet.
There are honest places to look for dating women overseas Graham. I hope you post about your experience online to warn other men about sites like Anastasiadate and Uadreams.
But there are good sites. Even free ones like fdating.com or russian-personals. I have met quality women at each site.
Virtually all the dating sites are frauds.
I have tried most and as you use credits and access their contact email etc and you do not buy more credits they stop contacting you. All are the same.
No Ian, not all sites are frauds. Bridesandlovers.com is a legit site. So are;
elenasmodels.com
ukrainiangirlsdating.com
ukrainiancupid.com
russiancupid.com

There are others. The thing that is great about honest Ukrainian women, is that they will always lead you to even more honest Ukrainian dating sites. Once you find out about the real Ukraine, you will want to move there.
Hi David, just been researching these sites, and I read your post. Could I ask you a few questions re Anastasiadate.com and Dream Singles sites?
Thanks Krystyna, before you spend money at Anastasiadate or Asiandate, just take the money out of your pocket and rip it up, you’ll feel better. I wonder why they are still allowed on the MC/VISA merchant list? I can confirm that the other sites are legit, I got 250 replies but some of those also were duds but at least its not the agency trying to scam you.
Now, Spring 2021, you do NOT want to go to Ukraine unless you have been vaccinated for the corona virus! Before u go I suggest getting a subscription to the Kyiv Post. It is an on line English language newspaper published for years in Kyiv. A few days reading will give you a very good idea of just what u r walking into. These people are mercenary when it comes to Western and in particular, American men. I have been on a couple different dating sites featuring Ukrainian and Russian women. They are real people but, they have no interest in you other than how much money you will spend on them. I’ve spoken on the phone with a couple that were fluent and they told me more than they should have about the entire set up. I have also spent money for gifts and obtained their supposedly private e mail addresses. ALL they ever did on those contacts was to ask and plead for money, perfume flowers, computer tablets and outright cash via Western Union. They will not meet you in person as most are either married or have boyfriends! The entire notion of there being better women in Ukraine and Russia is total non sense. Best to stay far away as it looks like Putin is set to swallow up Ukraine via the Russian Army!
Shortly after I joined AnastasiaDate several years ago, I actually met one of the girls from there – Anna from Uman, halfway between Kiev and Odessa. It was in 2010, and I was in the former Soviet Union for the first time on my old Suzuki 1100 motorbike.
Anyway, since I didn’t know Russian at the time, we had a translator, Irina, attached. I rented Anna’s friend’s apartment, which was expensive but not more than a hotel room, so I agreed with that. What I didn’t know though, was that she was also invited to a pretty expensive dinner, which was nevertheless a pretty basic meal… :-/
We met for a couple of days while I was there, and during our meetings we went to the Sofievka Park (very beautiful, by the way).
When I got home, our communication slowly died… but unexcpectedly, Irina suddenly started writing to me. She said she was impressed with my kindness and sincerity, but that she of course also knew I was corresponding with Anna and didn’t wish to interfere or anything.
Since my contact with Anna died out, I did keep in touch with Irina for some time though- but despite her apparent interest she didn’t want to hand over her personal mail address (excusing with the fact that she wrote with other men, too… what did that have to do with it?)
Later I met another Irina, this time from Nikolaev. I actually met her once, too… but this time we merely had a pizza in a local pizzeria. We did write for a while, also via her personal mail address avoiding the extremely expensive communication system on the site – but this eventually died out as well.
The other girls I’ve had contact with on the site, were either away from their home city when I was in the area, or has other excuses for not meeting.
My impression is there’s probably some legitimate girls between, and it’s also possible to get to meet them (or, at least, it used to be).
However, it’s very unlikely for something serious to happen for the vast majority, and, thus I cannot recommend this site – also from the all to obvious fact that it’s probably mostly scam and, in any case, a far too expensive way to meet.
I do recommend to study Russian if you’re serious about it, however, and then perhaps create a profile on a site like odnoklassniki.ru – this is pretty much like facebook, and the people that can be met there, are genuine, ordinary people from the former Soviet Union.
Finally I wish to add a notion about my recent doings in these countries – I’ve been there every year since 2010 on my motorbike, and they never fail to impress me with their hospitality, amazing nature, tasty food, etc.
What bothers me the most is the fact I have too little time and too little money to explore it as much as I’d like and it deserves – but I’ll soon return – до скорого свидания! 😀
There has been a scam report placed for a long-term scammer on AnastasiaDate. She is a model who was previously listed as Marina Perednenko but she had to change her name to Marina Zakutnyaya because her dating scamming activity caught up with her. It looks like she already has a boyfriend called Igor based on this report. Avoid her and obviously avoid AnastasiaDate. It is clearly supporting scams. The only way to prevent them from being successful is by constantly warning people about them through regularly listing information about their activities online. long-term online dating site scammer. Refer to this site for more information about what she does. https://www.stop-scammers.com/scammer.asp?id=12009
This is a mail I got from a “real girl” in the site after I found the “truly real one” – the message speaks for it self :
“What the hell you want for me? Few years ago some girls used me, they said that we will make a pictures for me for international casting for model agencies, “you need to say few words about yourself on camera and we need your passport in case if the agency will choose you and you will fly somewhere for working on the contract”. I loose all the contacts of this girls so I’ll message to this website and I will complain about all this and will ask them to delete this profile, thank for letting me know about this! I appreciate it. What else you want from me?!”
Anastasia Date is the BIGGEST Scam site out there. Nothing but pay for chat girls and professional daters. 99 % have a boyfriend in the background and can only date on certain days and times, will not communicate other than on the site. Girl I met, slipped up and said in a good month she earns $400 per month which is odd because she said she was a designer and they have stable monthly salaries. Complained to AD when found out about her boyfriend and money requests, they did nothing at all. Stay away from the site and especially Elena Shustova ID 1737451
Anastasia a great site to be scammed. I think there are real women on this site but one has to be discerning. The real women are furious about the iron curtain that Anastasia has formed. No matter how hard one tries it is impossible to continue a relationship with them. I have had a incident whereby I have found the same fake profiles of ladies on other dating sites which are not Anastasia operated. I had found one lady on Date.com with the same profile and pictures seen on her Anastasia date profile. When I attempted to chat with her she said she didn’t know me. Impossible for her not to know me! I Date.com was using Anastasia date pictures of a fake model to be used by their translators. When I challenged her regarding being on another dating site. Date.com shared with me that the ladies often switch vendors in search of finding men. Interesting at the same time the model from Kiev was found available on Anastasia.com seeking to make contact.
Anastasia also offers the option to block contacts of ladies profiles from appearing. But this does not work as the profiles continue to scroll through.
I, too, can testify that Anastasiadate.com is a fraud. Although it might be true that some of the women are real, the photos have been so heavily retouched and made that the women cannot be recognizable. Search the women on Vk.com, using the date of birth and name, and you will see for yourself. Moreover, I have evidence that it’s not the women writing. It became clear when a woman I communicated with for a long time started to ask questions to me as though she knew nothing about me.
The big question now is: can we not go together and make a group action against the fraudsters.
I estimate having spent at least EUR 3000 on the site, as a complete waste of time.
One woman got my attention. She is 45 years old and is a medical doctor. She was never married but has a 25 year old daughter. If we do the math then she was pregnant at the age of 19 and was in medical school. I received thousands of emails from women who are attracted to my profile but I have an incomplete profile with no photograph of myself. Fortunately I did not purchase any credits.

Don´t use them. There are many genuine pay per term website. Pay per letter industry is a rotten bottom of online dating industry especially in Ukraine. It´s nothing new that there are many job openings Ukraine to write letters on various master dating sites.
OK, I am embarresed to say that I got taken for over $1k! Even with my background in police work, I fell for it! The girl, Juliya (1781946) was very good and very convincing! But in the end, the facts are the facts!
My question is, “why are they still in business? It’s January, 2019 and they are still going full tilt! Ukraine is not in good shape and needs the US! There has to be a stop to it! Two years after the start of this blog and many others and the money keeps rolling in! We fools, we merry band of fools!
I have been on Anastasiadate for six years and like the other comments here have experienced similar fraud. The pattern of abuse is predictable. First shopping for expensive gifts, then supper or dinner chosen by lady or interpreter. Maybe a kiss, then never hear from them again. Chatting experience of long delays. Sometimes one word responses, usually in agreement. Makes you wonder how many men she is chatting with? Fly across the Atlantic for a date and no one shows up, so you have no date, and try to find another woman to meet. Very disappointing. These practices are deceptive and common. Lady says one thing in chat and another after you arrive.
Even if you exchange telephone numbers and email addresses you often do not hear from them unless there is emergency, accident or illness and girl needs money. Examples; Mother has cancer, aunt broke her ankle, work takes me out of town and cannot meet. Mother passed away, mother is sick and I can’t meet because I have to take care of her, father sick and on it goes on and on. Tell ten women you are coming to Ukraine and you will be lucky to get one expensive dinner date with all the frills to pay. I have paid from 6,000 to 20,000 Hrygnias for dinner, plus the interpreter.
There are women that do not resemble profile pictures at all with I.d. This was confirmed by interpreter. Some pictures may have been taken years ago, or the photos are fraudulent.
No data is posted for sucessful meetings and subsequent marriages. No photographs of happily married couples. Some of the girls have been looking for husbands for at least six years and still on site. Makes you wonder why? Frauds?
In real life there is a normal distribution of whatever you want to study. The results do not follow a normal distribution. Sadly, most contacts and acquaintances never meet. This follows the pattern of behavior. Anastasiadate knows the forgone conclusion.
I suspect all men are victims of a clever scheme to make money for Anastasiadate. But I am sure the girls are also exploited.
What you write about women looking for someone staying a long time on this website is true. Olesya with ID: 1696698 have a video and on this veedio she says that she is 18 years old. If you look her profile she is now 27 years old. This very beautiful woman has hardly been unlucky enough to meet anyone if she wanted. This is a mistake that Anastasiadate has made, and not removed the video because it reveals that something is wrong.
It’s a business. The girls make money or else there wouldn’t be many girls sitting ready to chat to. They are real girls because anastasiadate makes them do a private only video for inside purposes only. Some are married. Some have boyfriends. Many have social media sites that can easily be found. Guys spend a lot of money on webcam porn just to chat. It’s not a fairy tale. The girls make good money as models and such. Some are the humble down to earthy desparate types but many lead lives that most of us would be jealous of. Forget calling it a scam unless you consider it’s reasonable for a perfect 10 model to sit around lonely looking for someone to marry her when she leads a great life. You don’t win the lotto unless you play.
I wish I had read the comments two years ago. I guess I am old and naïve. It took me almost three years and hundreds of dollars to get wise. In addition to the very thorough and comprehensive report made by Michael on July 22nd 2016, they have another scam and that is when you “Begin Chat” with a “lady”, the subscriber is not to be billed until they begin response. Which can take a couple of minutes. Now I have discovered I am being billed while I am waiting for response.
I have actually been warned my credits are ready to expire while waiting for her response. Also, when you attempt to “end conversation”. the communication does not end and you are still being billed while frantically pushing the ” end conversation button. I have called serveral times to their customer service several times and they have given every excuse under the sun as to how it is my problem. The say to take snap shots while I am pressing the “end button”. to verify that this is actually happening.
The point is this: It is so obvious that this is a rip-off site. with absolutely no accountability. I encourage men or women to please do your due diligence before subscribing to this site.
I have joined AnastasiaDate dating site over 3 years, and I just came back from Ukraine two days ago, I was chatting a lady called Irina for over 6 months, and I decided to meet this lady, before I went to Ukraine, we had discussed so many things, and this lady was agree everything with me, She supposed to show up in the airport to pick me up, but when I arrived, she asked me to go the hotel by my own, After I have settled down at hotel, she sent me a message saying that she wanted to meet me but would bring an interpreter (her agent), but we had discussed and agreedt not hiring an interpreter, but everything was changed, if I did not agree to let the interpreter to come, then the interpreter was not allowing the lady to come to meet me, the interpreter controls her, finally we meet on the third day, the interpreter took us to a very expensive restaurant for lunch, after lunch, I went back to hotel, the agent sent me an email saying that the lady wanted to meet me again for dinner, I said to the agent, I could pay her US$30 per hour for translation for two hours, but left the lady and me alone, but the agent did not agree, because she was afraid we exchanged contact information, also she could not get the commission from the restaurant, so we did not meet at the second time.
Finally, I figured out what happened, the agent own several ladies, and she chatted for those lady in the day time, because she could get money from AnastasiaDate, so sometimes you were confused why the lady did not know what you were saying. By the way, the agent knows every single word in the conversation between you and the lady.
I do not expect a dating site like this, create the opportunaty to make money.
AnastasiaDate.com Russsian dating site review:
I will cut to the chase. I spend thousands of dollars to verify this Russian / Ukraine ladies dating site. To chat live n some have, #1)video cam, (one way) for me to see, or #2) camshare we can see each other, (by the minute + cost more). I usually ck them out on #2, this way I can see them in person with out all the professional model airbrushing.
Most of them have video cam capable, but they will tell you the v cam doen’t work or broken. The site provide the girls cheap computers control by IT. These girls also can do it on mobile. There is at lease 1,000 girls online day n night 24 / 7. You would wonder why these girls are constantly spending all that time on site? Don’t they have a regular job.
That is their job. For $2,000 dollars I got 5,000 credit, $399 for 1,000 credit. These are the 2 options I would get. These credit can go fast if you buy girls a gift. And some girls
will ask. It’s time / min per pay. I have chatted with many. They get pay %ages on the amount of traffic the girls draw to their page. It is a job for them. Is a economy, employing
thousands of girls.
These girls are very easy to chat with n the site bombering my email with massages from
girls that fit my profile or I had encountered before. Some girls would try their best to keep you in their page and persuade you to come to to build on the relationship. Some girls are more genuine in finding a mate. Since the get income from clients like me. Willing to to spend time with them.
I have had girls are not looking for a mate at all. Is easy income n could be more. Those girls i found oiut to be in that site for years. They all get professional photo shoot n up keep of generation of consistent letters to clients. These dating site is big business for
thousands of thousands of so call single ladies. From my suspicion some of these ladies are not single. Is just a job, cause you will never getting to meet them. As you can see so maney model young model looking young ladies. It is a type of sex n dating site.
I have found ways to not have to go through their criteria and cost to connect with the ladies. All of the ways must haven participation of the lady, cause you don’t see their computer screen. These ladies can be chatting with few clients at time. Is usually the slowe response. Example, I have a lady turn on her cam n watch her. I see here cooking breakfast n all my txts to her are getting response while she is cooking breakfast.
Their are middle person some maybe her communication or conversations skill is lacking. I find some are directly going through the translator n typing themself. I have successfully
getting few of those ladies off site contacting me on my email. Their are girls are looking
for a better live n might lead to their Family. I also have send money to a few of them due
to the havoc the coronavirus is costing hardship for them. Also I got few ladies phone numbers n home address i have call send little gift to. I also had such fun chat with some ladies they find me on WhatsApp n contract me.
Conclusion is there are some ladies are genuinely looking to escape from threir bad situation / economy. I find most don’t like the men in their country due to their abusive n cheating mentality. Beside the ladies out number the man at lease 2 to 1. Those man
are spoil by the abundance of ladies to choose from.
Bottom line is n their way of live n economy. Is a JOB;))
Hello
I can only confirm what has been said.
This site is a complete scam.
The girls are paid lock you in at the side.
I did phone many girls over the site and it happen always the same; very few contacts outside the site which breaks down very fast.
They just earn some pocket money over the site and a lot of money for the imposters who run the site.
Stay away!
AnastasiaDate is not 100% legit
I almost always right-click on images of the females on the site and select “Search Google for image.” By doing so, I discovered that one lady, named Antonina (ID: 2022373), is registered on two adult webcam sites! After my live complaint via the chat, they both removed my access to the site using the same browser (on the same computer) and permanently redirected this same browser to their sister site!
I nearly choked on the response I was given. AnastasiaDate Representative Viacheslav’s simple response was, “I went through your case and discovered that you found a lady on a cam website. Although we don’t prove when ladies use such platforms, due to our Anti-Scam policy, ladies can use any websites except for dating platforms as they are people with freedom of choice.”
Can I still trust this site? Can I still trust the people on it? Not anymore.
On the + side I met my wife on Anastasia in 2010. It is usually the interpreter that contacts the men initially, especially for the attractive ones. My wife told me as much. She made good money on the site and whilst we were in Ukraine, she was still ‘working on the site’ and we once took a pic of her holding a rose for another guy whilst there! – that’s messed up but it was her only form of income at the time! She later agreed to leave the site and we married in 2012. FYI. I found it relatively simple to get her number and email after a couple of video chats.
There is no doubt that many of the Eastern European sites are money-spinners, many are worse than anastasia, in my opinion. With all of them, you just have to use common sense. eg. if the conversation is spun out, ie. I don’t understand etc., then it’s likely a con.
I am amazed by the posts made by various men who think AnastasiaDate.com is a fraud site. Can anyone tell me if choosing the Mobile site option the ladies read what is written as there is no charge even though it is mentioned ten credits are being deducted. I have not paid a single cent for utilising the free Mobile service. However if one customer needs a non mobile service such as one through computer or laptop one has to pay a fee of US$ 2.99 for 20 minutes of talk time chat. Wonder if the replies is from the girl/lady herself cos you can’t view who is typing the text, these agents if they are in control of the text, will have a tough job managing such a huge task. I am at present a Anastasiadate.com free member through mobile smartphone and I feel dismayed to know that AnastasiaDate site is a fraud. Thanks for reading my comments. Goodbye Sebastian Mascarenhas pune INDIA
I tried to get facts and they interprit your conversation and there fore breach privacy regulation,just disgusting to know how fraudulent it is just to get peoples money .It is amazing that they get away with this SCAM and the government don’t stop them .The girls photo don’t even match up as many of them om various sites.Someone need to put these assholes in jail so they get some loving there.
i am really glad i found this thread of comments. I understand that people have to make a living and sometimes it isn’t always pretty in tough countries. But, what i am reading is that the site is a semi-fraud because some of the guys on here actually met girls and had dates. I can roll with that. it is kinda like a bar… in that … not all girls are truthful with their phone numbers or if they are in a relationship. But, if you stay in your lane you might do OK if u arent trying to date somebody 30 years younger than you.
If i see a girl on LIVE video stream, then i know she is real and she will not need the interpreter. Here is what i think. Guys are looking for lightning to strike and so are the girls. I bet if u have a jet and a yacht, that is a lightning strike for her and you are going to get a date with almost any of them… those are just the rules fof the jungle in any country. in researching this site for scams, came across another site called aforeign affair and dreamsingles which actually have organized trips to different cities and wonder if anybody on here has an opinion about them.
But, for now i am going to assume this one is only a semi-fraud and proceed with caution. im only looking for a good time anyway and this sounds like a treasure hunt, roulette and chess all in one game.
Somewhere in the small print is says “For entertainment purposes only”.
Yes, some sites do say that, but I looked really closely, and this one doesn’t. That is fraud de factum at first, but fraud in the inducement if they get your money. It’s a wonder sites like these last even a few days, but they are pretty slick in avoiding the law, so beware.
I wrote a negative review on sitejabber.com some years ago. I was contacted by a man who in the title of the mail wrote he was willing to
refund my money if i delete my review. I never open the letter though it felt like a bribe kind of thing.!
You can read my review here
https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/anastasiadate.com#1016
But a very qualified guess is that about 98% of all east european websites are part of the scam and they just get the same girls from the same databases. Some steal and copy girls photos and profiles and employees pretend to be the girl.
Many websites are actual the same but they just have other websites with a different name or design.
Other the girl rent her images/photo to them or allow websites to prented to be the girl while she get money pr chat, letter, ect.
Regarding sitejabber then notise that almost all reviews the user only have written 1 single review.. I am sure the reason is these reviews are written by fake users = anastasiadate staff and other of these websites do the same to try and push bad reviews down so less people read them. Also isent it kind of funny if you search for anastasia fraud that you find several websites that give a fine explanation of the opposite.
one of the most famous scammers where Olga she was on +50 dating websites and on all sites she was very populare.. This girl or abuse of her images have earned the agencys huge amount of money.
https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/?next=/osichka_ch/
Also Yana Vosidova was on +50 dating websites and also was a top girl and everywhere.
https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/?next=/vosidova/
But there are other who are many places.. some i spoke to and even contacted on example instatgram and other places but got no reply. But that is how it is nobody on these sites want to talk to you outside the website where they dont earn money.
I have tried to report many of the websites to the police such as Police in the city where they have an office, and to the FBI and i even wrote to the white house asking them to shut down the east european dating industry.
Next time im in ukraine i will try and talk to the cyber crime department there.
Truth is its a global crime going on where the firms are hiding in tax heaven and in excotic places.. So there is a need for a global police coorporation to take them down.. and well that is difficult.
during the years i have used many dating websites and did go to ukraine and one time to russia one time to date the worlds most beautifull girls. In the start when i started it was very easy to meet someone even with a short notice. But as time went by it become difficult.. and after revolution something changed and it become even more difficult to meet the girl you talk with.
And when i started to talk negative and about scam and people not showing up on dates and so on, then i guess i was blocked form meeting anyone.. but im able to use the website and talk = spend money but i doubt i will meet anyone via any east european website.
Truth is on no dating website its possible to have your profile deleted.. They just put it on pause and even share information inbetween websites so if any person come back then they can follow up on the corrospondance but also warn each other if someoone is negative and talk about scam and such things.
The profiles never get deleted and they will just ignore you or tell you that your profile was disabled and so to speak hide your profile BUT never delete anything.. But regarding anastasiadate i can see that letters older than +10years start to dissapear automatic.. but suppor and other letters do not.
Belive me they keep track of people, since they want it to look like a girl recognize you if you go to other websites so they can continue the conversation there and make it sound like the man is still talking to the girl and not an employee
Hehe Seems our dear Michael crashed and burned as you did publish the entire piece and even on a highlight with its own article! He thought you were a beacon of Elena and wouldn’t publish it but censor it entirely.
Thanks for sharing this Krystina!
Btw, Do you have any info on other sites like LADAdate or Victoriya Club? They seem to be sharing the same data bases
of hot young women. THanks
I went on AnastasiaDate.com about two weeks ago. I purposefully went towards finding an average looking lady, as I thought no real beauty would ever need to use a site like this, and that should have been my first sign that this is a scam, but my loneliness and horniness took over my brain for a few days. That is what they are counting on.
Whoever was responding began fairly mild and meek, putting up a front of looking wholesome, modest and mild mannered, but as the “romance” started heating up, the photos and chat became more and more pornographic. The site is betting that you will just see these girls as normal and lonely plus a little bit horny, if that is what it takes, but it turns out they are coached on how to keep a man’s attention for as long as they can, and time is the issue with these frauds. If they had only a fee for letters, like some reputable sites, that would be one thing, you gotta make money at this or it doesn’t make sense to do it. There is no altruism on any of these dating sites, they are created to get your money, fraud or not. The real issue is how much time you are willing to spend in finding this out. Time is money for them, and that is not just an over-used phrase, it is serious money for them and heartache for you. These sites are heavy into psychological romantic terrorism.
The girl I was into had written me 14 times, and I, as a stupid horny and lonely guy fell for it every time, but in the 13th letter she actually made a mistake that was difficult to explain. She sent the the same 2nd letter to me again, word for word, but put the wrong name for my name. Then she wrote back that is was a cultural mistake, that she thought it was an abbreviation for my name, but the name’s only commonality was they both started with the same letter! It was like saying Bob is the short name for Bill. I’ve been to Russia as an English teacher, and I know about the sweet names associated with most Russian and Ukrainian names, so that lie fell flat. I’m just glad it only cost me about $150.00. Lesson learned. There are only a very few reputable dating sites that have marriage minded ladies. They cost a bit more, but they are very up front about it. They make money for getting you together, and have been doing it under the same name since the USSR dissolved in the 1990s. AnastasiaDate claims that they have a way to get contact information exchanged , but it can cost you up to $500.00 to send the girl flowers or some expensive gift, and a note with your info, with no guarantee that she will reciprocate. Complaints are met with hostility, and there are absolutely NO REFUNDS.
Reputable sites refund money if bad information caused you to pay for a letter. Don’t fall for credit refunds, that just keeps you in their loop. I hope this helps some guy that is thinking with the wrong head. Just don’t do it. You know what they say about something that seems too good to be true, don’t you?
How ridiculous are they ?
Their employees and robots are speaking in the Chat and robots are writing the letters.
Employees in the chat are copying and paste the same things every time.
Robots are writing and sending 1000 letters by the same girl.
Would ever a girl write 1000 letters to somebody who is never answering to her ?
The same job are doing most paid dating sites. Some criminals are behind them.
They should go in prison. Why Interpol or FBI are doing no action ?
I will start off by stating that I am not your typical western guy looking for a foreign bride. My work is that of Cyber Security and investigation. I have an eye for details and noticing the small items many people never notice. I am not typical at all. I make very good money. I stay fit and in good shape. I have all races of western woman ask me out. Just never going to happen anymore.
I found it extremely difficult dating in the west, because if the nature of greedy western woman. Drive up to a date in a 100k Porsche and all western women see is dollars signs. I started showing up in a 25 year old Porsche I had restored and I started noticing the attitudes changed. I had not changed.
With that said. I tried this site, then another and another back in early 2015.
I traveled to Kyiv for business (first time ever). I met people just going out on my own, while even meeting a few westerners that had Ukrainian wives. Even met some local people, including the owners of a few of the dating agencies in Ukraine.
My trips would last from to weeks to 6 months in Ukraine. We looked ta many different cities for a location, so I got to know each city and meet people from these locations. I got curious, so I started looking at these sites more in detail. By now, I was back in Kyiv for a 6 months stay.
I was not worried about the money, so I took out a few lady’s from each site. On my first date I hear and noticed many things off. Ahhh, I also forgot to say I speak Russian. I dug deep investigating the 2 lady’s from the “date”. Just as I thought. I scam.
I was curious at this point, so I did what any man like me would do. I made a plan.
I took out a few lady’s/girls from different sites. I had one of my new local friends always drop me off at the dates and hang around in the background. After the dates, he would follow the lady’s/girls in their taxi, while I took a cab or walked back to my apartment. He and I would meet up later for me to get the details of what he found. Turns out these lady’s/girls always returned back to the local agencies together.
I gather information about each local agency. I would took photos outside of the agencies and I even “bumped” into a few other “translators” at the end of the day, when their work was over. Heck, I even got some photos and video of a Charmdate reps at one of the local agencies. I noted the lady’s/girls working at the agencies and scanned the web for their photos and found all were on many other dating site”. I found out who was married or had local boyfriends, while a long being on other sites looking for a foreign husband.
I keep traveling back to Ukraine, even though we did not open an office there. I met many good people and even met someone on my own, while just being myself and not showing up in a Porsche.
This site like many others at the middleman in the scam. They make money, while having no responsibility. If a issues comes up, they simply point the finger back at the local agency for all the blame. It is a scam plain and simple. A scam to make money period, while looking completely clean in it all.
Many men have big egos and think they would know, if they are getting scammed. Wrong. I also found out from a “translator” I dated, who worked for a local agency. I got to see the whole thing with my own eyes. I watched her logon to her console from site these and a few others. Funny, how the admin console is run by the host agencies, who complain they have no idea what goes on with the local agencies. I even have a nice video showing how is all works. Almost forgot. The local agencies send these “translators” to classes on how to keep a guy interested and hooked. They learn how to pull on the guys heart strings.
These host sites are part of the scam. I have written many reviews and at one point I had over 900k views on my site reviews. I have spoken personally to over 500 men. I have heard stories from not being met or being threaten, then thousands of dollars wasted.
Today I still talk with men from around the world about these site. I coach the guys in the US on how to get their money back. Most are ashamed to approach their credit card companies to get their money back, but some do.
This is a billion dollars industry to steal. I will not say there are not some girls/Lady’s on these sites that are not really looking. But, this number is extremely low. Think of finding the needle in a hay stack. These sites just want your money. If a man were to look up the number of divorces foreign men have after bring these women back to his country is very high. I know 2 guys right now that are going through a divorce right after that 5 year make. I know many other men that have gone through the same thing. And I know many that are very happy to this day.
Ask questions to these lady’s/girls. Listen and investigate or get someone to investigate for you. I have done over 10 YouTube videos with the owner of one of these “dating agencies” about the same and what a true Ukrainian or slavic women will be like, if she is really interested in you.
Great comment! Many thanks for your information shared at Ukrainian Dating Stories. If you have time, I would love to interview you about your indepth experience in the “mail order bride” industry.
Let me know if you do it.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Krystyna
Ahh…anastasia brings back memories. I got scammed not once but twice by girls from what was formally known as the Ukrainian Crimea Republic. First scam in 2009, I got the date, a social at two restaurants, but it was a date with interpreter scam, girl didn’t even know me although I wrote her via agency for 8 months. What made matters worse, on the scheduled meeting for our second date, she made up an excuse, and I stumbled into a Russian navalbase.
I was detained for a day on trespass charges by Ukrainian authorities, and the Russians kindly let me go free. The second girl from same city in 2011, didn’t even show! I enjoyed the trips regardless for their sightseeing experiences. I like Crimea, very beautiful country, just don’t trust the beautiful ukrainian women.
Its the biggest scam on the planet!!! Pure theft, lies and fake women being paid to be pretend to be interested in a relationship. And the support staff and anti scam is the biggest joke on the planet and is pure lip service and marketing hype. I could give dozens of scam samples and they always have the weakest pathetic lame excuses to cover up blatant scams!!!!! They make me sick to the stomach and should all be put in jail!!!!!! I would happily go to court and prove how many blatant scams there are

I am surprised the site still is online because it is a big scam. I was a member for some years back in the mid 2000. I was so naive, blind, i think as many men visiting that site. It is just a business model also for the girls online to earn money. In fact it is very clear for all if you just look at the way it runs.
You search for “your match” and they all are very willing to chat with you. Now the price for those chats i think were then about 50 eurocents for 2 or 3 minutes. If you count up you chat on a regular basis a few times a week for half or a whole hour with all of your chosen ones, that adds up quickly. I had contact with 4 of them and this for about a year. Now it should be a red flag when, after about a half year of contact, in which the girl says she likes you, she still refuses to have contact outside the site.
Excuses that it is more comfortable for her tot chat via the site of course can not keep to be valid. Your letters (you have to pay for those of course) as of the chats, are censored by AD in that way that exchange of mail or other adresses are wiped out. But when you send a gift, of course at very high price at AD, you can ask a private mailadress. But you notice they use this adress, when you ask them, not or very reluctant.
One girl, which i was most fond of, and she was of me so she told multiple times, also refused still after a year and many, many euro’s to have contact outside the site. That made me (finally) suspicious and i consulted a private investigator to check if she was real and her background. The information i got, showed several lies she had told. And this for a girl who had stated in her profile that she hated people who lied, were untrue.
After this her mood and reactions changed but she wanted to keep in contact with me. And i was a fool to do so. But i had a final test so i told to come to Ukrain to meet her. Suddenly she told she had already an appointment with another man. That was de definite sign for me it was all so fake. Before she told me i was her favorite and later she told me their was no other.
And this is just an example. With other girls i had comparable experiences, some really laughable. I think i was then, as more man i think, out of reality. One way or another you are not realistic and just have the idea fix you have the attention of these girls, you feel flattered and are interesting.
It is no coincidence that all the contact of my chosen 4 or 5 girls proven to be fake, just for the money in contact with you. It means the whole site is fake. The sites customer service says they want to prevent scam and ask you to give proof.
But of course this is very hard to give because what evidence should you give?
If you come close they blame the local agent, or kick out the girl, but of course they never admit the site is a scam. If you have the money and just want to chat with girls (you do not know if you are talking with the girl you see the photo of) than you must do it, but please do not think this is serious. Just a scam and it should be blocked from the net.
200% scam along with Victoria hearts
All the sites have the same profiles and photos yet Anastasiadate state the girls are exclusive .
Complaining to Anastasiadate is a waste of time they about purely about making money not giving it back.
The best is to photo snap the same girl on two sites . Copy there guaranteee of money back for scam profiles and contact your Visa card company and report all transactions are fraud
They place a credit into your account and debit Anastasiadates bank. There bank then have to prove the accusations are incorrect which they can not
Quickest easy way to get your money back
Befor the sold about 13 years ago they were semi ok
I went and meet some ladies from the site and they were real. I became friends with the Translator and we are still friends today … she told me to stay away and want went on with gifts flowers meetings letter …… just 90 % scam the few woman who seriously think they can meet often hit the scammed men and that doesn’t help
Better off using social media than feeding these vultures
