I didn't take long to realize this site is a scam. It cost me very little to find out it's all about online chat and draining your bank account. I gave two ladies I was interested in the same offer. I will fly to meet you in the Ukraine. Both came back with the same answer. They need to chat online first. The risk and cost were all mine and as I explained to them it's only one date and I have no problem if they are not interested. I haven't chatted online and I never will as it is obviously a money pit just like owning a boat. At least with a boat you get pleasure in return. To all you guys out there waisting your time and money my advice is to run from this site and never look back.
I really cannot imagine how men from america are falling for this smelly rat dating site. Before spending your thousand of dollars, do that, check out some other sites for example Ukrainian Dates, Ukrainian cupid You will have a feeling about whether or not Americans should even be on those sites. Although, sites like Ukraine Dates may look a bit more real than Anastasia, however though, they have a different strategy to scam you. This is what I am experiencing with Ukrainian Dates, as I am a current member. When I first started, I had about 18 women who sent me interests and briefly there after they switched off their profiles out at the site and told me to contact them through their private e-mails. They were continued to e-mail me letters through their private e-mails for about two times and started to tell me they would like my financial help in other to pay for agency who translate their letters for them. I told one of them no, I won't do that because i have not met you yet. For some reason, the rest of them all seventeen of them stopped writing to me, it was like a ring of scammers. Well, I know that has nothing to do with Anastasia Dates, however i wrote about this just to make a point. Anastasia, in away, scams its customers in a very obvious way, the red flags are right in front of your eyes. In what world do those beautiful models we see in Anastasia would come up to you men so strongly about dating them. In your mind, don't you think for a minute that is too good to be true. Just look on the right side of your screen and imagine for a while the language of those women who suppose to be future wives are telling you. Don't you believe these words are available to every single man who happen to be on the site. Come on men, wake up and smell the reality of life. One more point before I stop, remember, a good scammer is not going to scam every body who come their ways. They will somehow do it at some intervals or every so often. I am sure you going to hear some successful stories about people being married through the site, but remember, they have to make their scams believable. In addition, if you are an american and you want to try the on - line dating, you must be very careful to these women, they will do the most unbelievable things to get into your wallets. According to beliefs all american men are rich and money just fall over your laps. You must never send money to anyone you have talked to and never have met in person.
It would be so easy to break the Anastasia scam. All that is needed is a free of charge agency, a real competence about the true deal that is men and women looking for marriage. This way only girls with the real interest on finding a good man for a long term relationship will be participating. Nowadays the technology that we have would make this possible and cheap. The identities of the participants at both sides could be verified before actually meeting anyone.
I am following up from last Review Confirmation of Scam to let people know just what a joke Anastasiadate.com is! I am not a disgruntled customer but have had personal experience so what I am saying is true. I traveled to the Ukraine and did meet with the lady that I had been corresponding with but that is about all that was true. It all became too true once I realized that she only wanted me spending money on her and the translator. Everything was a set up from the taxi driver to the restaurants she picked. After I came back home and actually met some people from Russia and the Ukraine did I really feel like a dope. Everything was inflated. I received 2 letters from her once I came back home then she disappeared. In a normal relationship you would expect to meet friends and family, that does not happen. There is not romance even though she begged for that in her letters. I have been doing my homework also since I returned to find out that these ladies are not exclusive to Anastasiadate.com as I have found numerous profiles of the same women on the following websites, Eurodate.com, Charmdate.com, Victoriahearts.com. As the old adage states" Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on ME"! If you are looking to pass the time and think you are chatting with someone or video chat then you will have a good time. If you are serious in your search none of these sites are worth the money. Most of these women do not know that their profiles are being used or that they are being written to as I discovered. I posted the ladies response in my last review. The positive reviews are not from paying customers as they soon learn the truth. I hope this will help someone make a wise decision.

If someone asked me what would be my top dating site, AnastasiaDate would definitely be the one I would recommend. When you sign up you have free credits and you can see whether you like the site or not. Then, if you don't - you don't call it a scam just because it costs money, but you delete your account. Right? It's not that difficult. If you like it, you stay on as a member, pay whenever you can and chat with the girls. Like I did. It never failed me.
Before he met me, my now husband, out of loneliness turned to this site. During a two year period he spent over large sums of money each month chatting with several "women". I have credit card statements to prove this. He did not approach them on the site... they came after him, actually, like bats out of hell. I checked into the site under his account and was bombarded with females on the chat site... comments to someone they have never met like "I want to be in your bed", "I want to love you", honestly, these were opening statements from these "wonderful, beautiful, chase women". He also made the mistake of taking one of the Anastasia tours to the Ukraine where he was told he would meet many "beautiful" women. After another large sum of money he was introduced to two women who looked absolutely nothing like their photos. The excuse for the other 7 was "family emergency". In brief, a sad, lonely man was duped for huge sums of money. His own fault... probably... but the intent of the site is most decidedly not romance, it is money, money, money... especially the US dollar. Better yet, get someone to get you to the US on a visitor visa, get pregnant and it's really hard to deport.
AnastasiaDate.com has more than twenty years of experience in international online dating, so they have identified the differences between a scam and a misinterpreted situation. The company recognizes that many people tend to have high expectations when it comes to the security of online dating websites, but the truth is, there will always be situations which will be out of your control. Here are some examples of misinterpretations: The agency makes a mistake in the translation of a letter. – Not a scam as mistakes happen. If you’ve been in touch with one particular lady for a long time, but she refuses to meet without AnastasiaDate’s “Date Me” service. – This is not considered a scam as the lady might just want to feel safe. If a lady doesn’t answer all your questions in an email. – It’s a lady’s prerogative to keep some details private, especially in the beginning of a relationship so this is not considered to be a scam. If after meeting with you, the lady says she is no longer interested. – Not a scam. Honestly, would you continue to see someone who doesn’t seem to be your type? If a lady posts photos of her friends, ex-partners and other personal information on any social network. – Not a scam as it’s anyone’s prerogative to share the information they want online. If a lady wears a ring on her finger. – Not a scam as wearing rings in Slavic countries doesn’t necessarily mean the lady is married, regardless of which finger it’s on.
Agencies write the letters to you in the guise of various females, its a rip off. You think you are writing to 'Svetlana'. You aren't, she (or they) don't see your messages, and certainly don't reply to them. It is just another absolute moneymaking machine. Close your accounts today.
All these $#*!nobs who say Anastasia found me the love of my life SEND PICTURES of the ones you found THIS IS A SCAM SITE I got 25 women chasing me in the first 1 hour of signing up ffs it was 4am there time wtf they doing up at 4AM this is a $#*!IN scam site put it this way just give me 3 thousand euros I will get u the girl of your dreams well ok it may only last 6months before she robs u blind but hey I was up front Dave
There is a good chance that the person you are chatting with is not the woman in the photo. Men and women who speak English are sitting at the agency office using the girls profile to make money. I have been on the site for a year and have travelled to Odessa three times. Each time was the same: Girls take two or three days to finally meet you... then they bring an interpreter who wants $20.00 per hour... then they get a kick back from the restaurant. Great if you want a fantasy... not so good if you are sincere. I could tell many stories about what I learned but, you will probably need to discover this yourself... good luck.
All I would say is check what you are getting and not what you think you are getting.
I Joined and I get lots of "letters" from girls, but I decided to do start checking.
Check (1)
Any pictures you get in letters, save them to your disk and then open them and view the photo details, especially the date created. Most of the letters I received are from women who's photo's are from circa 2010, so they probably look nothing like they do on the site.
Check (2)
Take a sentence from their bio which you think would be unique, and put it in google with speech marks on either side. You may find they are on more than one site, and make money by getting people to contact them.
The sites are nothing more than money mills for the owners, I would imagine that very few of the girls on there are actually on it to get a partner, but they can make a good living from it.
Becoming a member is easy and straightforward and once you’ve registered, you’ll have many options to choose from when it comes to communicating with women who interest you the most. Email correspondence, live chat, camshare, call me and so on. I would recommend CAMSHARE! It allows you to see the person you’re chatting with in real time. When visiting the AnastasiaDate.com website, members can easily find safety tips they should follow in order to protect themselves from fraudsters in general. Never send money to anyone claiming to be in trouble. This is the most important rule when it comes to online dating as fraudsters are known to use this exact scheme to scam unsuspecting victims. Arrange dates through the portal’s “Date Me” service. This is the safest way to ensure your meeting will go as planned and that the lady will actually be free on the day of your arrival.
Out of all the Russian dating sites out there I think this is the best one. It is also a rather expensive one so make sure you are okay with spending some money. If not then there are also good free dating sites out there. Not so sure that they are oriente towards Eastern European women but they work just fine.
I have spent a lot of money on Anastasiadate, it's only a place to connect, from there it must be done through the agency. It's a very tricky place, don't bother with emails until you travel there. Get your own interpreter. I know that some men just go to Ukraine and will only spend 5 minutes on Anastasiadate.
I also see many pictures of women who have not been online for many months, but the option to send her a letter is there?. If I can go back I would have just traveled there for a couple of weeks. Hope this might help someone
They debit your credit card when you haven't made a purchase and they set it to auto renew at the same time. Wouldn't recommend giving them your card number either a web site glich or plain stealing, didn't have the problem with them before but now it happened and they say it couldn't happen but it did.
I did meet someone off of this site from Ukraine, so I went to visit her. She was talking sensually on the site, but when I did make it there she had to have a friend on our dates. She said because she was nervous, but I had to pay for the three of us. This happened three times. It was really just a move to keep distance between us. Then on the last day, I was driving around with them and we stopped at their place to get clothes, because it was cold. Then we stopped at a post office and they picked up a package full of pills. And had me go to this dirty parking place, while they went through a trail to an old building to get rid of the pills. Then she was going to cook me dinner, so we went to a grocery store, and they were getting champagne, wine, and way over the amount of food for dinner. We went back to their apartment, and we're hanging out for a while, when they were going to take showers, and I was going to go to my place, and do the same. I was supposed to come back in 2 hours for dinner, and they did not answer the door, or answer their phone. I then reported it to Anastasiadate, and their policy is to return the money spent on the site that was used in communicating with the scammer. I received no reply, and the scammer is still on the site. Her name is Juliya, and her account number is *******. She is a 22 year old brunette that lives in Kiev. She also showed me pictures of others that she has dealt with.
Yes very clever and very well done but after spending thousands believing that some must be genuine I am regaining my sense. I am a man in my 70's so being sent love notes by an 18 yo has to be an obvious scam. I let my guard down because i used a site Scanna, which had free contact to ladies for one upfront fee & was very good. I met some very nice women on it & a few traveled to my country to meet me. It has taken me a long time to realise Anastasia is a complete fraud, mainly I suppose because I did not want to believe it that those nice women could all be tricksters. Anastasia site cheats on time, in facts and yes the women do disappear if you try to be serious after spending a lot of money on them. SO BEWARE OF ANASTASIA
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THE COMPANY REPORTED A PROFIT OF us$130 MILLION.
That sort of money does not come from trying to assist lonely men and women to find love.it has turned into a porn site with the majority of the women inviting the men into the unlimited world of sex, ready to engage in your wierdest fantasy for the sake of ripping your money off you.
I love it, just as I love AsianDate.com! There is nothing much to say except that's the place where you'll find gorgeous eastern european women. I love them being so modest and at the same time so beautiful. Talked to a lot of them, the ones I really, really like I saw on Skype and didn't regret it. I am just waiting to see if there will be The One who will make me do my trip!
I read some comments about Chnlove here, and found that people had different experience on the site. Some people said the site was a scam, and some people enjoyed the time on the site very well. I have been a member of the site for about a year. It seems to me that the site is not bad. I understand due to different considerations, people may hold different views on the same issue. But I think those people who left bad comments should stand back and look objectively at the site.
Hi:
I have spent just over $100.00 USD on this site with Olga. I have been suspicious of this site shortly after joining. I have separated with a lady of 17 Years. Actually, the joke is on them as I have had a great time conversing with Olga (whom ever) and helped me get through this bad time. Has been cheap fun but now will be leaving the site. They are trying to get me to stay by there browny point system, enough of this one. Frank!
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.
