Nice place to met a honest down to earth chicks i love the girls
Girls are being paid for chat: 0.12 USD per minute for ordinary chat, 0.24 USD per minute for video chat, 1 USD for answering the letter. As far as I know Anastasiadate now set up a limit to 0.36 USD per minute for chat if a girl chats to few men at the same time, but still it's a lot of money, over 20 USD per hour. Quite good wages even for America. No girl will confess that she is being paid, just because they don't want to lose admirers. Wast majority of women here are to make money and not to find love. Whats even worst that instead of real girl you could be chatting to local marriage agency employee and the real girl would appear on video chat only once a month. If you need proof you can google yourself for Russian or Ukrainian forum sites where local marriage agencies, representatives of Anastasiadate and other Russian mail order bride sites, discuss their business.
Don't spend too much time writing book a call so you can exchange contact no. Then see what happens... 99 % of the time the contact details are incorect. The interpreter takes more than 11 min to give you her details... quickly send an email to the address given and it does not exist... tell the interpreter and they take your emai anouther 15min later (all chrged at very expensive rates). If you are lucky you will get an email with 3 words from them and never hear from them again... I have spent over $3500 here and nothing real... only lovely letters. Wow!
All I can say is that those who deceive genuine people will never find honesty and sincerity in themselves or others. The money will soon slip through their fingers or roll off like mercury. And will return to the honest and sincere... drugs and alcohol will rot the minds, body and soul of those who rob the man who is sincere in his search for love and real companionship... for generations their children and children's children will be afflicted by their dishonest dealing and false love
I have been a customer of Anastasiadate for a year and a half, and I must say that it is a very legitimate dating site. I know this for a fact because I have actually met one of Anastasiadate's American contact men. I was traveling to Kharkov to meet a young lady and I just by coincidence happened to be on the same plane as one of Anastasiadate's Romance Tours. I sat next to Greg the whole trip to the Ukraine and I saw the inner workings of the organization, so I can assure you it is real. I have also met a wonderful woman recently through Anastasiadate and I really cannot say enough about her, She is the one and I would never have met her without Anastasiadate. Juliya, is the most special woman I have talked to for a very long time. I am so happy I have met her. She makes me smile and laugh. I know that my future will involve her and we can build a future. Also Ukrainian women are so very different from other women, and I can say this as a world traveler, Ukrainian women are beautiful and family oriented. They want a genuine man who will support and love them, and that is what I have found in Juliya.
I have been a member of Anastasiadate.com for almost a year now. I have heard many different reviews of this site both positive and negative. In the course of my time on this site I have talked with about 10 different women. I am 51 years old and had in mind a certain age group I would stick with, 30- 45 years old. In the course of my talking I have made friendships with 3 women whom I am mainly concerned with. One is 27, another is 30 and another is 36. They are from 3 different cities and of course are 3 different personalities. Before I met these 3 ladies I talked with several other women and found some to be not so serious and some to be well, immature. The immature ones where usually much younger women. This is to be expected from younger women and people in general I feel.
This site is a great place to start you search for a foreign woman if that is what you seek. I think people should realize this site is for people who want to start a relationship. In order to continue and have a closer relationship you will have to go there and visit the woman. You can not expect her to come to you, it does not work like that. In the course of a year sure I have spent lots of money but if I dated women here I would spend money every weekend, so you choose what is best for yourself. I also have not had many difficulties with this site and when a small problem has occurred they always and I repeat always have taken care of the problem.
I also want to say this about the women on this site. People often live in a dream world they create for themselves. This site is a great tool to meet women but as in life anywhere there are all kinds of different women on this site. Use your head objectively and see who fits your personality, then proceed to talking with them. You will know how to proceed with the relationship. These women are looking for the same thing every woman is looking for companionship, respect and real love. And, yes they are real women, you just have to go meet them to have any kind of a real relationship with them.
Thanks, Todd W. Stuttgart, Ark.
To others out there. This screams fraud, please do not be fooled people. 1st example the direct facebook joining. If you change it to women seeking men it is not available. Makes no sense right? There is actually a separate site with a "review" (praising it to the skies) (google search it). And while the anti-scam policy seems nice it is not really. Like this one "A lady requests money or expensive gifts from you. We reimburse the service costs you incurred with this lady and ban her forever." That is bs, they are NOT goin to give you any money back. Hell if you get robbed they probably sicced the robbers onto you (if the other reviews are any indication) And also the spam 5 star reviews. I found 2 IDENTICAL reviews with one between each. The only difference was the words "man" and "lady" had been changed around. Lastly they do not support homosexuality. They are a DATING website that blocks out some 20-30% (whatever) of their client base. If you do not want to date another woman/man fine. But MOST of the LEGITIMATE sites at least have that option. Hell some of the scam-sites has it as well. Sorry for the long post. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE. Unless you are keen to throwing money away. But then throw them out of your window, and not at them.
Just a very brief comment following my earlier one a couple of years ago.
For the past 18 months I removed all details from my profile account on anastasiadate.com and all photographs. Only my name remains visible in my profile. And yet I STILL get at least 8-10 letters each day. On the very infrequent occasion that I log on, out of interest to see how many (mainly much younger women) have left a message, and I delete them, literally dozens of women are trying to get me to chat online.
Now I have no credit on my account and have not communicated with anyone since early last year. And still they keep coming.
Ask yourself this. Would you be bothering to contact someone with no picture and no personal details? Would you as a 20 something attractive woman want to communicate with someone 60+? Of course you wouldn't and that is why this site is such a scam.
I found out after 2 years and a lot of time and money wasted and with several disappointments both online and actually visiting Ukraine - which is a lovely country with terrible roads and dubious police.
Just use your common sense and then walk away.
Absolute fraud and scam site. Beware of these. All model photos and make you pay to write letters and chat at $1 per minute or more.
Total rip off
The women you see are not the ones you chat with... YOU are exchanging letters and chatting with an experienced older lady, claimed to be the translator, who knows how to fool you (I was fooled too but not for long). RUSSIAN MAFIA is behind all Russian and Ukrainian dating sites. This is a huge business for them they are making tons of money by deceiving you, while using women of eastern Europe, taking their pics and creating fake profiles as a way of adding legitimacy to these dating sites.
Just another gripe about AnastasiaDate.com. If you still think Anasatasia is the best company to do business with for online dating think twice. Try this for grins; remove your credit card information from their site, I did not state change to another card I SAID remove your credit card information from their site. Once you file a credit card on their site you can NOT remove it! Their system will only allow you replace a credit card with another type or one. So all you guys that continue to say; you met the love of your life and so on. Remember your credit card is still there. What is stopping the company from charging your card with false charges? I finally called my card company and had them put a hold on anything that may occur on my card. A good hacker only need to gain access to the password database to apply fraudulent charges or wipe out every cent in your cc account. Hmmm more food for thought about this company. Buyer beware! Ohh wait they do not tell you that upfront about removing cc information.
Michael P. Reviewed untrue (in hook up)
I know a lot of people may disagree with my review but this is the way I feel...
This site is one of those sites just here to find guys stupid enough to sign up for it and put in their credit card #'s. Hey guys you are much better off just man up and talk to a girl that you know at work, church, grocery etc... If you actually think you got a chance on a site like this one, you got a serious character flaw. Go get professional help please!
P.S. Here is a way without using credit cards and also a much better chance to get a real blind date.
Step 1. Pick up white pages and open to a random page
Step 2. Point with finger on a random line and dial number.
Step 3. Talk nice and use your best bait and hook
Step 4. If they want to meet great if they hang up go to step 1 and repeat.
I have been for a few weeks just looking and adding girls to contact list! When i started today to contact several of these so called ''russian girls'' (and thanks God i am able to speak the russian lingo) I had lots off them not knowing even basic words of russian!
Its a big money eating CON! Stay away!
All the bad reviews (1 star) are on the second page. All the 5 star reviews are all written on the same day. To me it seems an employee is writing 5 star reviews.
I think this all says enough about this website. IT'S A SCAM! DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY!
My experience (48 hours old) it is a massive scam. If not anastasiadate, then certainly the girls on their books. I have been seeing a girl since Feb (met first in May) and been communicating frequently. I flew out to Odessa 25 September, all arranged months ago, but hardly saw her. Of course she liked to receive gifts and bought a couple of things for her new apartment which I never saw. Keen for me to orgaise 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 emails when we meet or said goodbye it was like with a female colleague (without hugs of course) or my sister; peck on the cheek and a hand hold. At no point during our time together was there any spontaneous affectionate contact from her. When finally confronted by this Sunday she said our relationship could only be as friends, but she would not mind the trip to Malaysia…
It is true Anastasiadate.com has women working as translators. So when men see a beautiful and receive a letter from them, it is NOT the actual girl, but the translator. There is absolutely NO correspondence with the real girl. So it is a scam. However, the girls with profile on the website are REAL! Of course the girl go the the agency and meet professional photographers and make up artist to look very beautiful. But indeed the women are REAL and not stolen photos of celebrities or models.
The thing is, Anastasiadate.com wants you to pay money for communication eventhough you're not actually talking to the real girl. The want you to BUY their tour package and once you go to the city of the girl of your dreams, you will meet with them. The Catch is, the girl has no idea who you are. Remember, you only written to a translator.
How I have success on this site is that I removed the middle man. Anastasiadate.com post the girls photos and information, with a simple google or facebook search... I made contact with the real girl. They are surprised to receive a letter from me on facebook... but if they are serious... it wouldnt care. However the ones that refuse to communicate other than on Anastasiadate, goes to show they are employees and looking for nothing serious. I met 6 girls in Odessa from Anastasiadate and it was lovely, but the agency is a scam.
Anyone interested in finding a soul mate should simply and automatically register with this site i joined the site some years ago when i was undergoing difficulties in my life and the most dissapointing thing was after the breakup my dad had also passed away so it was a double tragedy for me.
So making the decision to join this site was a very calculated move i thank the site because all that is now a past tense.
Anastasiadate.com has given me a chance not only to get a soul mate but also a baby girl with a different nationality this is exciting because i lost my wife three years ago and decided to try dating after sometime through online dating i was abit worried with scamming but to relieve myself of the stress i had i opted to give it a trial i really thank God because my wife died while giving birth but three years later the lady am dating was also a widow but had a daughter 4 years old so i think am blessed more than i even expecdted with a daughter and a soul mate all thanks to this site especially the customer service.
I came to the agency to find happiness which I lost with the unexpected death of my wife. To tell you the truth I wasn't sure about success, but I decided to try. I was happy to get some letters from women, I liked them, but when I got a letter from from my now, current wife, I thought to myself, this woman is special... I don't know why I thought so, maybe it was my intuition. I didn't believe in dreams and I am very grateful to Anastasia date website and to the interpreters, for their help.
I just would feel so guilty if i go silent without telling the world that anastasiadat.com made my dream to become a reality i chatted with a man from colorado for the first time in my life i just felt so lucky.
The chatting went for like 4 months and eventually the man or this husband that was destined to be mine decided to pay me a visit i was very curious so that i could get to know all about him so when he landed in my country we really had alot to talk about and up to now i still remember those wonderful moments we shared.
Because God was on my side the man proposed and even went ahead of engaging me. What more can anyone ask for my life changed and am just enjoying every moment of my life i love this man more than i would imagine.
I wish we met before, because we can not understand how we could live without each other! We would like to appreciate the work of the site, our translators, interpreters and all company of Anastasia Date, as here we have found our love, our TRUE LOVE!
I have found the most wonderful woman in the world, she is my angel!
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.
