This site is filling the pockets of Russian oligarchs. Anastasia international is the mother company. Easily verified. To get around sanctions they operate as SOL networks. I will start with photos, as you can see the last three are of person supposed to be Jing the first picture in the yellow, also in her profile is the last picture. However when i sent gift i get proof of delivery of woman who they claim is Jing but obviously is not is the second last picture. When I sent gift she contacted me and said she would not be home to receive, and when I told her I knew why, she decided to be home and accept. We ran thru facial recognition and definitely not same person. She is however the real one that has 6 other profiles in her account which she is paid to chat, have phone calls, and convince men to open pictures and letters. Can never get her to video chat because she does not look like profile pic. Always claims Her email never works even though we traced it back and confirmed it was delivered and read. So now to Panpan, you will see pics 8 and 9 are her profile and chat request says she is gonna help me financially, oh goody! So i open letters to find she uses the lure of naked photos to try get men opening 5 letters or more each day. Facial recognition confirmed these pictures are not same as person in profile pics. Depending on wether site allows these pictures published here you can also see the body is different. Hair, whole bit. When chat this one her picture is none existent which is total indicator it issuing done from completely different site. Again no way she will video chat. Willing to send dozens of xxx rated photos but no video. So now the facts. I have hired investigator to check identity of 4 so called women from this site. No birth records, no record of employment, no record of their business name. Do not exist. I have exchanged info with more than 20 from this site on the quest to expose this fraud and in that time i have come across 3 who did talk with me off site. All 3 said they knew i was being sincere and did not deserve what was happening. They all admit to having accounts with the russian agency and being paid to chat and for each photo or letter opened. The big score for them is cam share but apparently that usually requires a willingness to undress for men. They all say same thing they have several profiles to operate so they can actually make decent money. And feel quite justified in doing so with majority of men whom they consider rich perverts. From what they say the majority of men on this site are looking for porn and sex chat. If you are going to use this site make sure u go into profile and subscription and get the 1500 credits for $300. Does not have the 10 free 3 minute chats wich are useless anyway. 1000 crefits for $400 just puts more money in the scammers pockets. The good news is the ladies who chat off site are desperate for money and really need the job, but they also know they have no chance of ever leaving china. Very poor, so u are supporting some relatively good people. The REALLY BAD news is for the guys that are on the site for what they call live sex chat is actually men in charge of women profiles, One of the ladies I still email with says she personally knows of 4 men that work on that site and are the ones who promote the chat saying they have 2 sisters and her mother who all enjoy being with same man. LOL, what a thought! Some downright hate Americans and want to strip every bit of cash they can. They know chinese are losing popularity in western countries so it is just a job. However also know supporting this site and Anastasia is supporting Vladimir Putin. If you do mot believe this then log into Anastasia and tell me why you can chat and video cam with Russian women. I thought they were sanctioned. Nope not this site. Anyone who could not use credit cards in February when Russia invaded would remember having to wait until they found new country to harbour their cash. SOL networks on Hong Kong amd Malta. If you waych the chat requests you will often see 5 different profiles with exact same chat requests. Site admin says it is just a glitch. However the fact is that the lady is sending out request on all her profiles in her account. Do you guys really think a woman with 300 million dollars is looking for old western men. If they have that kind of money no matter what country they are in they are not coming to a date site and advertise. Lol give your head a shake. I find it entertaining so i keep exposing the fraud but now that i know it supports Putin i am done. Pretty easy to verify that guys. I have cussed and been so rude to site admin and never get kicked off site, so these guys that say they get kicked out i am not sure how. If u spend money they keep taking no matter what. Again when do vip support you will ser all russian names as administrators. I cant possibly imagine who answers the profiles wanting to involve kids and animals but this site has really hit the lowest of lows. Who the hell would reply to those requests?! I just block them but still no end to some really bizarre $#*!. You are not gonna find your dream girl and when you read positive reviews it is easy to see some are posted by site admin.
Ok so update, I see site admin could not approve original photos because nudes which is a big part of how the so called girls lure men. Just keep in mind when u open letters you will see lots of xxx rated photos and I do not really think that is typical good Chinese girl activity. Will see if I can block some nudity and get photos approved so u can see facial difference.
For experiment I removed all descriptions of myself. Still get non stop requests telling me i am best man on site. Or say i am exactly what they look for. Many computer generated requests that get forwarded to available agents. A couple of the ladies were shocked to see the letters and photos i was sent thru site. Saying they had not sent those letters or photos. All done by site admin. Apparently the lower level ladies can't access the letters in mail at their end.
If they can't video that means they do not look like person in profile. Most claim to be wealthy yet they do not have laptop or camera? Yeah right!
When they insist you open their letters to see their true beauty it is all about making them cash.
When several profiles have exact same chat request, its is not coincidence, it is one person maintaining several profiles.
Long wait times for response is not poor internet it is them wasting time on purpose to make chat longer, and they are sometimes chatting someone else at same time.
Email does work from west to china, don't let them convince you otherwise. Do you actually see Chinese people sending kids to school here with no way to contact. Same with phone, they work fine, call an alibaba number, works perfect, call a law firm, works perfect. WeChat works great, live voice calls, video, chat, all works great. When they tell you they did not receive invite it is only them making sure they keep you spending money on site.
They will always say they applied for visa and should have in 2 weeks, usually saying they payed extra to get it fast, a month later it will still be 2 weeks.
An ever increasing number of women profiles on the site, according to the girls who do chat me off site it is because they have no other work and they are older women feeding kids.
The so called support team are very convincing, but that is how they make their living. When they do their so called contact verification, or complaint review they just wait a few days or a week just to make you think they are actually doing something. Hahaha yeah right, the 3 ladies I have contact with off site say no such information is passed on because they have it all right there in front of them. The support team is just about making you believe the scam is real.
If you have money to burn and just want to be pervert then use.
Chat
I'm on this site for about a year and have spent more than I'd like to admit, especially in the beginning. So I decided to write this review for those that want to try their luck anyway on this site and don't overspend OR warn about its addictive nature.
As many, I was charmed by the many beautiful women writing you in chat or letters. First letters are free since a short time ago, they used not to be.
Don't missunderstand me: This site and the people running it are evil. They feed on the genuine desire to find love and flog you for every penny you have, if they get their hooks into you.
The basic communication platform would be great, though. The letter and chat system encourage to get in touch with each other. Communication can be fun. So let's get into the systems:
CHAT:
This site features an auto chat request system. Ladies can enter a phrase and personalize it with the profile name of the man. Some ladies type the command wrong so it is partly visible on how they try to add a "personal" flavor to the requests. This system is the reason you get indundated with chat requests. Ladies can write you by themselves as well, but if they do it gets lost in all the automated requests. This auto chat pings are actually a great way for more timid people to make a first step, because it seems like it's not a first step, since you got a message from the lady already. It's a good system to get a conversation going. But as with every good system on asiandate, it is simply always in the shadow of it's business model and malicious other practices.
Chat costs 1credit per minute. This will get expensive fast, so time your chat. Really plan on how you spend your credits. They omit timers from the chat window for a reason.
Users with video: 2min to see their live video, 6 to see each others video. It's not worth it except to check if it's the person on the photos. Otherwise too expensive.
A malicious thing they do: If you chat with someone that has video enabled, it will auto start and 2credits will be immediately deducted, even if you close down the stream. You are not given the option to start the stream yourself.
Chatting otherwise works fine, as you'd expect, though there's heavy censorship going on. Numbers, messengers, phrases are censored so you can't exchange contact information.
Also, since you pay per minute, it is your right to ask for speedy replies. Don't chat with people replying slowly. They are not that interested in you if they don't comply to your request.
LETTERS:
Letters cost 10 credits to read and open. First letters are free since about a short time ago. They are limited to 20k symbols, which is more than enough for most purposes. I use 2-4k per letter. 1 photo is free to add and open, which is comparatively generous for this sites business practices.
Now you can't preview letters. You get a small, small preview of it in your E-Mail when you receive one. There is no indication how big it is. So you could spend 10 credits on a letter of 20 words. Bad value.
That is why I recommend to chat first, get a first impression and set clear guidlines on what you expect in a letter. For me it is: A long letter, for me that's 2k-4k characters. Always a picture. You yourself should put effort into your letter. Make it long ask questions and see if she replies to your questions and generally replies in unique letters. If she puts the effort in, chances are high it's not a fake/paid model.
CHANCES are in general on there: If they are paid to Spam as many members as possible, they will not put effort into communication, in general.
As you might have guessed, I do not think everyone is fake on asiandate. I think there are SOME genuine members, really looking to find their partner. BUT there are also paid models or simply poor asians SPAMMING you with letters.
COST:
Packages: 20c for USD 15,160c for USD 100,1000c for USD 400 and 5000c for USD 2500 (you get that "special" deal as a VIP member instead of discounts)
Chat: 1c per 1min / lady video: 2c per 1min / Video both: 6c for 1min
Letters: 10c for 1 letter (open and send) / 1 photo free to open and attach / ever other photo 15c
Contact exchange fees: Phone: 100c for 10min / 10c per minute after that / send gift (not available for all members) with a letter where you can write your contact info; starts at 250c and goes waaaaaaaaaaaay up from there
Now I'd like to note that many times I exchanged contacts via WeChat, QQ and Mail ladies said they could not add me / find me. Vice versa as well. I know of genuine blocks of E-Mails, but remain doubtful about WeChat and QQ failing.
My tip is, when you have a good feeling, proceed as fast as possible to exchange contact info. You will save more than chatting for hours and it turns out the lady was one of the paid ones. I wasted a lot of money before I learnt that. Get to the point reasonably fast. You'll know if she is genuine or not sooner and waste less money.
Now why am I still on this site? The basic system is good. Getting in touch with people is fun. I am in conversation with someone that plans to visit me. Am I taken for a ride? I'll see on christmas if I am. We write 1 letter per week and she puts the effort in (writes long letters, provides no make-up pics), for example. And even if I it turns out she mysteriously can't come, the only thing I can do is accept it and either decide to leave this site or try my luck again.
Oh: their response to support requests is alright, but it is not justifying their prices. In fact, any justification I heard from company representatives are flimsy to the max. It is to keep appreances up, as transparent as they may be.
So, in closing: Don't overspend. There are some quality people on there, I believe, but always keep in mind that this site operates on pure greed and maliciousness. It's not their intent that you find love.
Try your luck to find them or keep far away from this site. I am curious how it will turn out for me on Christmas.
Update on that Christmas visit: She applied for a VISA about 2 weeks ago and didn't get it yet. Seems like kind of a lie to me. I don't expect her to turn up anytime, so I can chalk this up to another disappointing experience on this site. I would have been happier to report something better, but well, the girls on this site know how to sound sincere. I'm done with this asiandate now. Hopefully you won't be as gullible as me and spend a lot on this site. If anything at all.
-Chat first to get a basic character profile
-Before writing letters, state what you expect in a letter (ex. long, with photo)
-Get to the point of exchanging contact info reasonably fast (ex. 4-6 chat, or sooner)
-Put effort into communication and see if she does the same (if not, move on)
-DO NOT communicate with women who write you many letters per day and week (chances are high they are the paid ones)
-Trust your feelings
-Don't feel bad if it turns south: Decide to move on or try agai
Hello, Mark! Thank you for your review. We appreciate your honesty and detailed description of the services. We are sure that many people will find it useful.
Over three hundred girls contacted over 13 months. 10 phone calls. Not one single positive thing I can say about the site. Its a communications chat room so change the name to Chat.com and dont keep telling me its a communications platform i joined a datesite. The process is about chat and exchange of chat var letters or photos. Credits purchased is the name of the deal. Example, chat to girl A, exchange chat over a period of a month. $300. She either refuses to allow you to call her, or you call her and she remains on the site and never keeps in touch. One of those things. Not so fast remember you just spent $300. This works for this site as you cant get a refund. Tell the agency, of course, we cant force the girl to keep in touch or call you to call her. But equally the tell you we vet all the girls. Maybe. Vetted to make sure they dont allow you to get them away from the site. I have seen this girl over a year later, and had a fresh conversation with her. The reply. I like to chat, am not fake but am here to find my love. Really if so your nothing more than a prostitute as am paying for your time. Let me try to think of one positive thing. I cant nothing, customers service not much as they do nothing aside from tell you they will do nothing but always outline it var its in the terms of are condations, or if you find a fake girl please let us know. Really so you might spend several hundred dollar to find this out and then they might investigate it and then your still looking on this site to find love but spending at the same time. You need deep pockets to carry on. Equally when will the refund you the money, they dont just credits so you wont gain you get the picture, you do the work and pay both sides. Suggestion after chatting to a girl why not allow say after one hundred dollar of credits s[ent allow me to have unlimited chats to her. Nothing forthcoming on that idea. Another point. The site has a tick box allowing the ladies to call. Maybe, but when you ask for a lady to be allowed to call. They tell you this option doesn't work.
So how do you categorize the ladies. Certain, percentage of them join for the following as it, means flowers, perfume, and limited fun in the chat room. The sending of photos var chat and letter writing helps the local affiliate agencies. The next type of lady is the time waster but they must gain financially from this. Keep chatting as you keep topping up.
Next type Do call me. You can and they reply once and never more. Yet remain on the site. This is sophisticated as it appears nothing amiss with this lady. Fast forward, 6 or 8 months later and they still remain on the site, so its not love they are looking for, but again for communications. The site keep telling you its a communications platform and its just that. This happens over all countries and all cultures so dont be fooled into thinking its one country. Getting closer to finding love. The genuine ones must exists. Off course as this site fails genuine girls equally. If you like a guy, the chances are you wont find love from a womens point of view as the chap needs to be really loaded to keep coming back to chat. You might be getting several chats per hour each short in nature. So how can a girl getting any were. The communications pay to chat concept works both ways for the site and fails for both the man and women. Surely you must have one positive thing to say about it? No. Its not regulated and its a pay to chat site so nothing is guaranteed. The girls are mixed up with scammers including the agencies in home countries. It needs to be shut down immediately. But it keeps going as you see good looking ladies who will to chat, willing at times allow phone calls, but it all costs. How many girls do you need to speak to you before you gain? For the site its brilliant as they never lose. You try with girl A, nothing girl B nothing, now maybe C is worth trying with. So you allow her to tell you to take your time, then maybe you can call her, but recall your paying to speak to her, but you need to allow her to get to know you, right? So you spent maybe $300 on her. Stll wont allow you to call her. Forget her then move to D. Yet A, B, and C have all allowed the site to get your money, you dont get any benefit. Move to D, it could be like A, B again so nothing, move to D another time waster, but no this time you call her, but this is now E. You spent new dollar on the call. Watch you time as its expensive. Great you get her email or cell number. But remember like anything in life its only the start. Now you hit the new area of, her replying and keeping in touch. You cant control that. She remains on the site, you encounter the following. I replied to you, or i love you but need to speak here. Or i lost your email or cell number. By this stage, recall we are only on E. You still might be speaking to some new girls as you cant put all your efforts into one girl right given you might not get any place. But remember your paying the site to communicate all the time. Net spend goes up results zero. So we repeat this process with new girls new countries, and again the same results. How can this be possible? They cant all be at it?. Think about it as a business model. Pay to chat, means exactly this. Limit the time to chat to girls based on affordability. You get no free chats no matter how long you chat ignore the 3 credit they give you big deal. So you always have to fund the site to chat. As mentioned before to balance it out you should be able to chat for free to a girl after a period of time. The girl would benefit and your dollar also. But this cant work on this site. The girl isnt allowed this option either. So you always on the back foot with this model. The site tell you we vet the girls, the girls tell you am here to find love. Its out of your control. Needs industry standards and to be regulated to protect the customer. You dont have this. The site does what it wishes and the girls i have no idea who they are some might be ok but they are on the wrong site themselves. So in conclusion. Chat site not date site. If date site then you would gain some dates right? I have over 300 contacts on this site net spend over $3000 and am now an expert in this site. Avoid it. If not purchase shares in it and enjoy honest men spending money to chat and not find love.
You need to try one to see how it works.
Th site deserves its 5 stars for stunning ladies!
Simple in use and really entertaining!
Fantastic site! Could not wish anything better.
Lot's of cool and hot chics!

In that case... I will be quick - I found my man!
