First I dated a girl from Moscow that I met on another site. We had a great time but it was decided not to be a long term relationship (we are still friends on Facebook because she was awesome also). I decided to give it another try after reading about Anastasia in Forbes. I joined and became overwhelmed with all the women on the site. I narrowed it down to my top ten and went from there. My co-workers also helped me pick. We corresponded by email for a month and then I decided to call her using Anastasia translator service. I don't know what was said but my lady spoke english and asked me about Skype. Anyway we talked to each other for several months and it was decided to visit her. I obtained a Russian visa from Visa HQ and away I went. I flew on my first TU-154 to her city. She was EXACTLY as presented by photos and Skype. Also met the entire family while there. Nicest people you will ever meet. As soon as I met her, I knew she was the one. I asked her to marry the second day there, but she wasn't prepared (but she didn't say no). I flew back to Russia three more times before she finally said yes. The visa process took a little over six months, she flew back with me and we were married a month later. BEST decision I ever made. I was 56 when we met and she was 48. I wanted someone closer to my age and didn't want to raise another daughter even though they said you could go as high as 25 years difference. I also recommend a book I found that was really helpful (I didn't want to make another mistake after my first try). It's called "Understanding Russian Women". I can't remember the author, sorry
This site to two separate occasions attempted to illegally charge my credit card to the tune of thousands of dollars in a period of two days. Then had the money laundered to five different banks in five different countries. How these guys get away with this stuff is beyond belief. Why the US, or Interpol hasn't put a stop to their shady activity is beyond me. I wouldn't recommend using a credit card on this site for any reason. Buy debit cards so when the funds run out they cant reach their greedy little fingers into the pot to help themselves to more.
Genuine site that doesn't have scammers or fake people, does have its share of strange people but that's to be expected anywhere. I met a lovely lady and going to see where it leads.
Simply put, AD is the best online dating site. It has a beautiful, intuitive layout (you never fight against it)), and offers services designed to get you paired up with that special someone. AD is pricey, no doubt, but the online dating experience is top-notch.
Ive registered on this site more than 2 years ago... and totally forget I was there. Last week a girl from customer service called to me to ask if everything is ok with me... why I dont use this website anymore. I was pleasantly shocked. They do really take care not only about their reputation and good girl but for those men who use their site to find their soulmates.
This site is one of the very few responsible and well run dating/social sites. The one scammer who contacted me was immediately removed from the site and they take care to prevent objectionable photos and other material that if seen by underage at least graphically is protected.
I can hardly imagine my life without Tony now. We met due to Anastasiadate and now we are about to have out baby. I`ve never been that happy!
Now I can tell how awesome my date was with this super girl from AD. Even with my being very critical, the girl impressed me so much that I cannot wait for our next date. Yay!
I am a very picky guy so I tried different dating sites.If you want to see a bunch of the coolest girls, Anastasiadate is right what you`re looking for. I`ve never seen that many awesome ladies at one place. I really love it!:-)
Guys, the most beautiful and fantastic girls are crowded on Anastasiadate ;)
I am writing on behalf of my dad.
My dad Michael and Ella met in 2010 through the website of the "Anastasia". Each of them need a beloved partner, a warm family hearth, very close friend to share each other's lives. It so happened that they lived in the same state of Florida, USA at the time. But they lived in different cities. Their romantic encounters continued for about a year when they went to visit each other, know each other. They felt and realized that meant for each other in this life after this time.
They love to spend time together, traveling, entertaining guests. They seem to complement each other. Friends and relatives are happy for them. They evaluate their meeting among the millions of people and long distances as a miracle. God allowed them to find each other! And "Anastasia" helped them.
They are very happy!"
Tatyana found me on AnastasiaDate around Valentine's Day 2014, and for eternity this will be the most special day of the year for both of us. Everyone has heard of Love at first sight, until this day neither of us had experienced it, but both of us found Love at first sight, we found our soul mate, and the greatest Love either of us had ever experienced.
We both came on AnastasiaDate with the dream that we might find the perfect companion, but we both had doubts that we would be successful. We were both pleasantly surprised to find the Perfect Love together with each other on Anastasia. After talking for a couple of days we could tell what the other was thinking, and finish each other's sentences. It seemed to perfect to be true, but it was, I have bruises all over my arms where I would pinch myself to make sure I was not dreaming, and sure enough it was true love.
After realizing how many guys come to Europe to find a feminine partner... I will be spending the summer in Europe to try something new. I have a few dates but nothing serious. In time I think I will find the right guy. I like that I can chat using the mobile app as I am not usually on my laptop.
First they charged me $15.99 to join then another $16.99. Then they gave me 58 bonus points which are worthless. Review writte on April 14,2016. Mike +++
AnastasiaDate.com is straightforward and fun. Setting up chats and video calls feels safe and secure. Ive spoken to a lot of great women but Im particularly excited about the conversation Ive currently got going with a woman named Mary. She has a great smile and a beautiful spirit. Im excited to see where things go!
I love receiving letters from different men around the world! I am having tons of fun and way less stress on AnastasiaDate than I do in the usual club or bar scene
I met Josh on AnastasiaDate in late October 2012. We were close in age and found many common interests and many topics to discuss. After several letters of correspondence Josh ordered phone conversation with me through AnastasiaDate service. After that we continued our communication directly. We called each other, sent text messages and chatted in Skype for about a month. Josh liked me so much that he decided to see me in person as soon as possible.
He acted really fast - he applied for Russian tourist visa, book the hotel and about three weeks later he came to my native city Novosibirsk. He decided to come in as a Christmas Present January 2013. :) (Most Russians Celebrate Christmas in January) It was love at first sight and we spent together two wonderful weeks and made sure that we were a good match. Our mutual decision to apply for a fiancee visa was obvious. So we immediately applied for a fiancee visa and started a paper process. Since the process of getting a fiancee visa takes several months it was hard for me and Josh to spend so much time distantly. Thus we decided to meet again and booked a tour to Istanbul and met there in June 2013. I got a fiancee visa in September 2013. I went to USA, to Josh in late October and we finally got married in November, 2013.
We spent our vacation in Niagara Falls New York. Now we are a happy couple, and are considering children.
This is a story about two people, two hearts which became one common! My name is Stephanie and I am a dentist. I joined Anastasia to find a good man and create strong relationships. But to be honest, I didn't expect to find a serious person with whom I have so much in common. He is a dentist too and lives in Poland, and his first letter will be in my heart forever! He was not a member here and when he saw me on this web site, he decided to create his profile because of me. We liked each other from the first sign. We had conversations during day and night. After we had romantic moments and New Year together I cannot be without him...
I like to practice my English chatting with guys here. Some are so funny and have good sense of humor. I hope one will come visit me soon. See you soon Al.
I spoke with nearly 20 ladies now using webcam chat. I can verify they are real and who they are. Just turn on your webcam and there you go. If they don't have a webcam then move one to the next. Simple.
Answer: Sean, I'm very sad to hear that you have been yet another scam victim of AnastasiaDate. They definitely have interesting people on there... but this is what you need to know: 1. You are NOT talking to the girl in the picture. You are talking to a translator (probably a guy) who is talking on behalf of the girl. 2. The translators are being paid to keep you online - on their site - and give you as little information as possible to allow you to get off the site. After a month, if you are still using the site, you are the victim. Read the reviews that are all 1-star of this service, and remember that the 5-star reviews here are almost all paid reviewers for AnastasiaDate.
Answer: The odds are stacked against you on Anastasiadate because it works on a scam-based "business" model. It's a chat-oriented site, it pays comission to local affiliates, so it attracts many scammers, both women and men who want to suck in your hard earned money. The woman (or whoever it is you are chatting with) is paid by the local affiliates. If you really pursue a serious relationship, you should join a meeting-oriented site, i. E. http://j4love.net They also have chat and video chat but they operate on a different model and therefore their girls are more serious about the meeting. When I was in Ukraine I signed up there and met two women. It didn't take me long to find the women who were willing to meet which was a big surprise for me as I got used to all kinds of excuses of Anastasiadate's girls as to why they were not able to meet me next month. Now I understand the real reason.
Answer: As far as I am aware this is a site with women's profiles aimed at attracting men only. From experience I can tell you that most of the profiles either are not who they are posing to be [e.g. Are using model's photos etc] or have not the slightest intention of a hook up. That is to say they will keep you endlessly writing revenue earning messages but if you try to arrange a meeting they will disappear. This is also the case with the sister site Amolatina and LatamDate. Be warned and be prepared to totally waste your money.
Answer: Knil, Good that you are thinking of marriage. Speaking from my own experience with Anastasia Scam, the ladies I met lived in a fantasy world. As long as you shower them with the good stuff, they will play along. But when the music stops, these same ladies will abandon ship. Marriage is a covenant between a man and a woman for better and for worse. The Anastasia Scam ladies forgot the covenant part and the for worse part. So, if I were you, I will NOT even consider Anastasia Date scam. You want a real relationship built on honesty and love. Anastasia Date scam is NOT based on honesty and principle. I say these things to you because I went over there and spent time with the ladies and I observe. You observe and you need to read and interpret body language. A scammer can hide their true intentions but their subconscious actions reveal the true picture! Anways, I wish you all success with your future and your love life. Life is too short to spend it on the wrong person and for the wrong reasons. Regards,
Answer: The girls don't write to men, agencies do, pretending to be the girls, with the girls having nothing to do with the letters at all.
Answer: Spot on, ADate is a con. I wrote to girls over a period of months sorry to say, and sadly the alarm bells never rang when certain girls would be there 24/7 - couldn't answer questions about their professions or explain why they weren't at work, had short term memory loss (couldn't remember anything about me) and whoever I was speaking too had never seen a letter. It is simply organised crime.
Answer: Hello but I am going to repeat the response what Stephen said earlier but I am going to be fair with the statistics: I would say 99.9% of the women on anastasiadate either get paid by an agency to chat with men or they are scammers out to make money and not looking for a real relationship. Any positive reviews for this site are almost certainly generated by the lowlife people who are behind this dodgy dating site. I dated a lady from this scam site for TWO years. Her name is Daria (Member ID: 1701750). She lied and told me that she was registered only with Anastasia Scam but later I found out that she was registered with other agencies. She told me that I was the one for her but I also found out that was her story to the other men she was scamming also from the other agencies. If we all stand united and refrain from using this scam site, Anastasia Scam will be out of business and you all will be a lot richer and happier...
Answer: I don't have the statistics, but I am out of there! I saw real and sincere woman through the cameras, and also met some of them there. They are real (don't think all of them obviously). But I am out. It is very difficult to establish communication with them specially when most of them don't even try to learn English!
Answer: If you still do not believe Julian that this site is a scam this is her profile on VK: http://vk.com/id68827266 Register on this site, send her a massage and you will see whether she would like to keep in touch with you. I bet she wouldn’t.
Answer: Brian, I've seen your ads on here - looked at these reviews occasionally for about 3 years now because I was dating someone (off and on) I met on Anastasia. They must have hired real Americans to write their planted reviews since the last time I was here because many of them actually look like they weren't written by someone who grew up speaking Russian! Anyway, I can't seem to find the job title of these, er... ladies? I wanted to search on google.ru and thought it was "work bride" but that's not it. Could you help me? So what's my opinion of the Anastasia site and the ladies on there? $650 spent. Never met a lady who didn't keep coming back to me no matter what I told them (yes, I tested) of the 2 dozen or so I chatted with - even when confronted with evidence of their fraud. Sent gifts, made phone calls but only 1 actually gave me her VK contact info - all others refused. I contacted her and we talked often in the following 90 days or so until I told her the house I was buying (and she helped me choose) may cost more than expected and delay my visit to meet her - then she either deleted her VK account or blocked me because I couldn't find her on there. She never asked me for anything to this time except to visit her so she could be my bride. About 6 months later she friended me on facebook using a different name and sent me about 5 texts in the next 2 months slowly telling me she was in hospital for weeks and when I showed concern she wouldn't say why she was there, her final message being "Oh it nothing. I better now" then nothing for 18 months. She contacted me again in August and a month later I bought a ticket for Ukraine and booked a room but when I denied her 2 request for money - first for medicine because somehow the coughing she was doing on a Viber phone call turned into a trip to the hospital and the doctor diagnosed it as her spine and she needed money for medicine. Huh!?! Phone calls tapered of but still came. Ditto with texts. 2 weeks later she needed money because she was evicted and needs a place to stay. Told her my money was needed for the visit and I wouldn't send. Now she won't call or answer mine. Texts very sporadic. So I friended her friend's friend's friends on facebook and started finding real Russian and Ukrainians with no touched-up professional photos and not a fraud warning flag has sprung up chatting to them. And the girl I was dating. Well, she spent hours and hours for 2.5 years but never got a penny she asked for - all she got by my best estimates was a birthday gift and whatever she got from the few texts. Letters and calls we made on Anastasia that made a total of around $65 or so it was worth it because I liked to make her squirm when she lied to me. The site's a fraud. Stay away from it. I reported them to BBB and every time they replied I went back to their site to complain because they would remind me of another issue. They wouldn't answer so I'd report them to the BBB for failing to address that issue then their reply brought up more and I'd file another BBB complaint. Was marked as resolved only because I finally gave up - they didn't address the issues brought up in the BBB complaints but instead attacked me and my character. They even said they saw that I was having problems with one of the ladies (damn straight I was - she asked me to send a Valentine gift and they aren't allowed to do that and I found photos on her VK account of her spending Valentine's day with her real, Ukrainian boyfriend) and when I asked why they're reading private correspondences I was told to report the girl for fraud and the following morning I found out my account was closed and they refused to refund my unused credits.
