Awful... pretty fantasy just to rip off money.
Facts:
Chat pop up frequency: The moment you log in, you get one chat pop up every 3-4 seconds... lets face if. Is it possible? Do girls have nothing else to do? Those are definitely not the actual girls... just computer generated chat pop ups. So, why chat? If you click on start chat, it makes money to this website... about £1/min... that's ridiculously expensive.
And who is chatting? May be artificial intelligence programs or their chatting agents, hired people to chat on profit percentage.
Of you chat with the same girl twice, she has no recollection of chatting with you last time.
Girls are online 24*7. How come? Do they not have to sleep, eat, poop, go to work?... that means these chat agents or customer service agents do have complete control of the account profile.
Viewing 'rerecorded videos cost 10 credits per video... that is £10 per clip... Lol...
Even if the video failed to load!
You get 50 letters within 2 hours of opening the account... strange? Of course. And in letters they talk about reading your profile... even if there was nothing to read... so basically those are automated messages previously configured for each profile.
Message from each profile slightly different from other... but in general, girls seem too desperate and needy!
You can reply for free, but by chance you get second email from girl, reading it costs 10 credits. Total rip off. And believe me, the second letter has no connection to the first letter content.
English proficiency: if level of English on profile is beginner, how come English letters and online chats are error free in terms of English.
I didn't go ahead with cam chat option... that costs 4 credit/ min... and I am sure... there is going to be a 'rerecorded video in the live cam with some video chat interpreter translating between Russian and English speaker. If the recorded video is over... so will be the video call... lol... and money in website's pocket.
I am sure those girls are paid to do these nice girl talks and chats and video calls ( if at all they are live and not 'rerecorded)...
Unless I select one star... I can't submit review. Thus, no option but to give one star.
Can't believe I am not alone anymore!
What a great feeling I do have now!
Even if she is far-far away from me. I do trust everything she is telling me, because I am sincere with her too!
I am going to show our pictures together as soon as my Honey let me do that:)
Happy man from Vancouver!
Victory is always important not only in working sphere but in private life. It is so important for your inner world. I think!
I need peace and calm in my life!
Need someone takes care about me and someone really worried about my emotions and feelings!
Hopeful and trustful to this dating site!
The most important quality of this site is the realistic ability to find that special someone. I think, you shouldn't expect to meet someone right away. Patience sometimes brings luck, and then again, love takes time. There's no need to hurry into anything. There are many amazing women on AnastasiaDate.com. I guarantee you they are worth the wait
Anastasiadate is a good way to find your soulmate online. Previously I didn't believe in distant relationships.
But now I understand everything is possible.
Inna is probably the one I was looking for!
I did not regret to give several chances for myself to use this service. Our first meeting was full of positive moments, but I did not get the desirable results. Thus, I stopped use it for 2 months after this first try. This year in February it was my second time here, I updated my profile and considered whom I was searching; unfortunately, it was also a fail try too. I gave up again. However, several weeks ago, I got a very long and inspiring email from Julia Mantrova. She gave me a strong believe that all my efforts here were not useless. I am finally in love. So DON’T AFRAID to MAKE MISTAKES!
My love story belongs to this site. I've met my sunshine Nathalia 5 months ago. I can't imagine how I lived before without her... definitely I wasn't alive. She opened me and believed in me! I can't find enough gratitude words for this site!
The only thing I can give. My advice and my story!
THANKS!
I have joined this site few months ago.
Now I'm dating the most beautiful girl from Ukraine! And we are serious! So I would definitely recommend dating Ukrainian women. You won't be disappointed!
They are diamonds! :)
I think it's impossible to imagine the modern world without online dating. Everybody chooses for himself whether to pay for the services or not. My choice was Anastasia and it was helpful in finding the interesting girls to talk with. If you are willing to spend some money -you may do it and enjoy.
I wish everybody a lot of luck in Ukrainian dating adventure. It is not easy to find the girl. Anastasia is one of the most famous sites, however it is also known from a negative side. Well from my point of view some men are just not ready for expenses. Then in this case I advise you to go on free dating sites. Anastasia provides you with excellent service, gorgeous girls and all instruments for communicating: ask yourself first - are you ready for the expenses? And don't complain.
AnastasiaDate did such a good job uniting Galina and me. The connection between us was almost immediate. I can only say thank you.
I would like to thank you for helping find the woman of my dreams through Anastasia. I was very skeptical at the beginning, but you never know if you don't try right? And there she was, love at first sight sort of speak instinctively. I knew Tamara was the one and I decided to contact her, well I thank god my instincts were right. We exchange a couple of emails and video chats and knew we were meant for another. Since that day forward our relationship blossomed and the rest is history. We thank you AnastasiaDate for bringing us together. And for all the members in this website all... I can say is be patient and optimistic and you too will find your true love.
I really hate to leave a one star, because it does seem like a nice site. However the site is based 100% on fraud. The girls are paid to chat, probably at least 99% of them. The other 1% still get chances for prizes and such. I actually went to Ukraine to visit a girl that I met on the site, and she was completely different. She almost didn't want to meet me at all for the first time. This was after spending hundreds of dollars chatting with her, and her saying that she couldn't wait to meet me and was serious about getting married, etc. While in Ukraine I saw a large banner ad stating that girls could win a CAR just by chatting on the site. The site is brutally expensive and almost all girls will say that they really like you and want to keep chatting for as long as possible. However if you contact any of them on a different free site, like vkontakte.ru (The Russian version of Facebook), the same girls that said they love you will invariably not respond.
I am from Denmark. I had few love affairs previously but want try a girl with a completely different culture and country. Signed up on AnastasiaDate. This site is really well-known.
I met Alina on Anastasiadate during my second visit on this site. She intrigued me from her first message to me. I decided to continue our first conversation, and here we are…we are planning a wedding very very soon and thinking about having it on an island. Grateful to this service for such beautiful gift.
I used to be on many dating sites but eventually stopped on Anastasia for few reasons: first they have a world known name, second they are very easy and comfortable to use from any device, and finally their girls are doubtless beautiful. Not free of course but guys always pay :))
I joined Anastasia in March 2014, before I joined I read as many reviews as I could, some very positive some very negative. From these I formed my own opinions and I am glad that I made the right decision to join. I have met my future partner here and I am thankful for this and pleased that I made the right decision. I have had the opportunity to chat to thousands of very beautiful women, and have enjoyed every minute. The Ladies from the Ukraine have a far better view on life and values than Western women. They are positive, knowledgeable and show maturity far beyond their age. Of course the photos are professional and so they should be, but everyone that I spoke to or corresponded with readily supplied natural photos, they are proud too. I would further add, do not be afraid of age differences, all that I have spoken with, very openly state that they do not want a young, buck, they all see their future with an older, more mature and stable person, so enjoy your life it is as precious to them as it is to you! Like everything in life there are always bad apples in every barrel, they are not too difficult to spot and Anastasia take every effort to remove them. Always use your own common sense; if you are in doubt of something then you are probably correct. It is far easier to say yes or no or walk away on the internet.
I have had reason to use their help line on two occasions, one for a technical video link problem (my computer) and one to query a promotional item. On both occasions I received very prompt and helpful service and advice. Excellent; that is the function of a helpline.
Yes; there is a cost involved in using this site, it can be expensive, when you look it is no more expensive than any other, you know what you pay for, nothing hidden as other sites do. I have used the video links and they far exceed other sites that I have used. Good sized screen to view and I will say it adds so much more to the experience! On another dating site I got a video screen of just 3 cm X 2 cm (roughly 1 inch) I could not see and at exactly the same cost as this site, absolutely no comparison.
I will add the following, this is not a shill posting, and I am nothing to do with Anastasia or any of its associated companies. This is my honest opinion and I am entitled to that.
Derek
I just want to say thanks to this site. I found my wife Katerina here.
We are living in US now and build happy family life.
To all members don't give up to find your true love. This is the best site.
I even don't know how to describe my enormous THANX! To this site.
These guys are doing such a great job! Connecting hearts and souls from all over the world is not so easy, I think!
Mine was given to Ukraine:)
My wife is from Ternopil. Nadia, my precious is the best and everything I have in this life!
I read so many reviews about Anastasiadate, yes, some were very negative, but I decided to give it a try. Signed up, looked through profiles and started exchanging letters. After long video chats, letters back and forth with Yulya, I suggested that I visit her. She arranged an apartment in her home town for me to rent. That first visit was just for four days, but I actually proposed and she accepted on the last day of my stay. We kept corresponding, I visited her again a few months later, I started the process of getting her a visa, and she moved to the US and we got married not long after that.
I think she was excited and flattered that an impressive foreigner was interested in her. I think the chemistry was there. I think Russian women (and probably women in any post-Soviet country) value the prospect of marriage much more highly than American women. This last one may surprise you: I don't think she was happy about leaving Russia. She would have preferred for me to move there.
We've been married for ten years and have two kids.
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.
