I have spent over 1,000 dollars here and every time you ask for help you get zero except excuses - This is a Hong Kong based company NOT Russian - they will never give out and contact details whatever the site says - To get your Qseal they would not even accept my Government pictorial driving licence! -- This is just a scam Stay very very clear
Getting to know and date Stella is a thrilling experience. She speaks English fluently and there is this thing about her accent, it plays like music in my ears and turns me on whenever we speak over the phone. I wish we were anywhere close, I would have made sure I never left her side for a second. Stella is like a dream come true and it will be very wrong of me not to mention the assistant of the site.
They charge a fee but it's reasonable. Every company needs money to run so their charges is very much understood. Needless to say how many beautiful girls they are able to parade. The girls are more beautiful when I compare them to those I have seen on other sites. I have never seen such huge number of pretty ladies all in one place before. I know if would definitely be more expensive I were to be travelling round the world searching for them myself. I will rather pay the little subscription fee than embark on such a wild goose chase.
I had been communicating with a girl names Olga (C*******)for the last 3.5 mths. 21 yrs and quite attractive.
In this period we appeared to be getting on and she had talked about coming over to see me in NZ but then there was a crisis. She was under investigation by the Tax dept and couldn't come. Claimed she was innocent and been extortion to pay extra tax that she shouldn't of. Surprisly she didnt ask for my money but the letter writing continued, costing me a lot of money. There were also phone calls costing me every time she rang me. I didn't have the option of been able to phone her. I tried getting her to email me on my personal email address but claimed she wrote details incorrectly when I told her my details on the phone one time.
Earlier in April I was ready to come and visit her and had paid for my visa and about to book my flight to Ukraine. Another crisis happened! Olga claimed she had fallen off a ladder and broken her neck and lower jaw. She also claimed she was going to need a bone marrow operation. She didn't want me to come and see her in this state. Nor did she want to give me details of the hospital where she was staying at. Didn't need flowers sent. Naturally it was highly suspicious and demand the truth from her before she could ask me for money. She claimed her innocent but later told me it was a dislocation not a broken neck or jaw. Consequently I have stop communicating with Olga and won't be using CharmDate again.
My wife and I are looking forward to having a mini-me running around the house. I bless the day I accidentally clicked on an ad for Charmdate.com because if not for this site, I probably will still be single Kiwi bloke struggling to start a family. I’ve always wanted a family but I never knew I’d marry out of New Zealand. My wife is just a beautiful soul inside and out and I’m glad the site has such calibre of women in their database.
This is a lovely site for those who dare to have a shot at online dating but I will like to point this as an advice. Whenever you date, be cautious. There are scammers everywhere and you have to be careful not to fall a victim. If a girl you just started dating begins to demand things from you, your senses should be kept on alert. The one sure way to get around this is to request for multiple pix from them both with and without makeup. Compare them together with the profile picture to be sure they are the same person.
I have nothing against this site as far as business is concerned and I am sure there has to be some single women on here that are looking to meet single guys. Meaning some women are legit. There just seems to be alot of fakes and pre scripted love letters. But guys if your 50 or 60 or 70 years old
Your Overweight, bald, Short, have no money or your not financially secure don't expect your luck to be any different. Women are women and will always look for guys that are extremely good looking, tall, and have lots of money. So if you think your going to bag yourself a hot European or asian chick on here and you think there ways are radically different and think they don't look at money your wrong dead wrong. I had to learn that the hard way and believe me I never want anyone to have to go through what I went through. I am not going to lie I am very good looking but not the richest guy in the world and had alot of trouble holding on to the average looking girls let alone the beautiful ones. Shoot I know alot of pretty american girls that gave me more attention and dated me then these European and asia women. Bottom line guys European and asian women are no different then american women in fact there 10× worst as far as money is concerned. I would say 99 percent of Russian girls are hardcore golddiggers.
RUSSIAN and ASIAN WOMEN =GOLDDIGGERS
All the peoples involved in this site and most of the russian and ukraine dating sites are the worst kind of people you can ever have got anything to do with, because they deliberately lies about everything in order to have your money and nothingelse.
And when they see there is no more money to make on you they deliberately behave like asholes - if they bother to behave anything at all - so you get really pissed of and in this way they make it look like you are the bad guy and the reason for the relationsship breaks apart.
I can only recommend this site for those who wants to waste their time and money for betrayders and i suppose there is not a lot of men who is looking for that when they are looking for dating sites- Just avoid it:
I dated a Russian woman before during my brief stay there. I was pleased I did because she was very caring and highly affectionate. However, I lost contact with her when I travelled back to Italy and my phone was stolen. I have been trying to get in touch with her or any other Russian girl ever since but my search has always hit a snag until I discovered this site. I have linked up with another pretty Russian lady but I am still optimistic that I will someday find my lost sweetheart.
Charmdate is a absolute scam, the only thing you see is your money draining from your bank account as my friend found out, they advertise on legitimate dating sites, to try and give credence, yet governments, the police do nothing to protect those who are suckered in, to see my friend flying to the Ukraine, to meet someone he thought he was going to spend his life with, and no one was there as they said, and when he still went to the city, and got online and spoke to her & told her he was in the city and where was she, he was blocked then the next morning a couple of heavies went to the hotel and told him yo get out of the country! I feel sorry for him, but I hope this review proves that more needs to be done to close this website down! Permantely and any funds they have in Macau, is given back to the people they conned! Dont go near this site!
Charmdate.com is structured so that all of the features make the relationships on here strong and successful. Small things like the EMF feature are a prime example of how the site is standing above all other sites. My best friend is in my life today because of my EMF I sent. It was there we developed a relationship that is still going strong today. The call feature on here is very useful and secure. No one should be able to call and connect with me unless I want it.
Online dating is not safe. This is a common perception of my social circle. You will lose your money and you will get no good matches. But this website proved all of my concerns wrong. I purchased a normal and affordable pack. My matches were real and good. I developed a good connection with the girl, I found here.
Charmingdate.com is an ABSOLUTE SCAM! It employs women to entice the men by writing numerous amorous letters to them. These women who ARE EMPLOYEES of charmingdate get paid per letter. The men have to pay for every little thing like a "translation" etc. These women work in shifts so your date is online ALL THE TIME.
I am very suspicious of all these 5 star reviews here that are written on the same day with raving reviews and only ONE reviews. BEWARE and AVOID!
Absolutely fake site. Girls told me they were pushed to sell, sell, sell. Then if girl likes you it will cost arm and leg to meet her and then some. And if it doesn't work your out possibly thousands U.S. dollars. Don't do it. Any guestions ask me at *******@yahoo.ca
There are many great reviews by men who are dating a lady online. The reviews are great because they d not know the scams that are happening. The ladies are real but they have been professionally made up and their pictures have been touched up. These ladies do exist. What is not real is their written and chat communication. The lady I met in person admitted that a man from the agency actually answered her emails and a female translator actually was the person I spent money talking with. Many of the answers were not ones the lady would have given had she answered. I spent thousands of dollars getting fraudulent responses. That is pure and simple fraud by the owners of Charmingdate
I moved to Russia as a single man from New Zealand in 2013 and it was a very trying period. I tried to learn Russian so that I can blend in with the night life, at least have a dating life. So I decided to browse online and I stumbled on Charmingdate.com. I met an awesome Russian girl on the site who coincidentally lived in my city, we got talking and ten months later, we are starting a family!
I got lucky using the site and I didn’t even have to spend much money. I met a beautiful Russian woman within the period of a month. She speaks very good English so I didn’t need to use the translation services available. We’re now in a happy relationship and yeah as I said, I count myself lucky because I would happily do it all over again.
The site allowed me to find the woman of my dreams. I enjoy every moment of my life with her. She had become not only my wife but a best friend that I can count on everyday. It is something special when a website and technology can do that. We are expecting a baby now and it is something that I will always share with Charmingdate! Thank you so much for giving me a chance at love.
I really understand when people say a lot of negative stuffs about online dating. It can be a real waste of time and resources. But each time I hear someone say that, I ask them, "Have you tried Charmingdate.com?" and their answer is almost always the same, "No". This site is one of the few websites whatsoever I have found to be sincere and live up to what they promise. I will like to advise the brains behind to keep up the standard. I don't regret any second I spent here.
I don't know where I got this crazy idea from but I have always believed that unless you are from America or United Kingdom, you will never be able to speak good English. I think Roksolana has changed that perception forever. She is fluent with English I could hardly believe ears and eyes each time we spoke or chat. If you ask me I would say Russian girls are the best. I am glad I found her but wish I knew her earlier.
Answer: My verdict after a year of using Charmdate: it's total fraud! I had been in a close contact with many girls for a year until I finally left the site. Now I'm convinced that pretty much all of them were scammers. I had not met any of them! All of them suddenly came up with some kind of excuse in the last minute as to why they couldn't have a real meeting with me. Bullsh*t! It can't be a coincidence when I had 4 dates on http://j4Iove.com After using it for 3 months only. Can you explain the difference? There is just one realistic explanation: Charmdate women were fakes and scammers.
Answer: The question "Can I trust the site" is easy. The answer is no. The real question is "can I trust the girl" and that is harder to answer since there are some real women on the site. Here are some things to consider. Many men have signed up for tours or independent visits to meet a girl only to have the site call at the last moment and tell them they either have found someone else or decided they were not interested. By that time they already have their ticket and "tour" booked and paid for. We don't know if your girl is real or not and you might find yourself a "victim" of their fraud. Before you trust her, you need to be able to separate her from the site and confirm the relationship independent of the agency. There are ways of doing this. Ask her to send pictures that she has posted on her private web sites. Google them and make direct contact. I googled any picture of wome writing to me. Many were on VK.com, the equivalent of facebook. So I set up an account there and contacted the ladies. Most immediately blocked me. One who did not simply told me she would ONLY correspond with me on Charming date. You can also try to find a way to give her your phone number and ask her to call you collect. Most of the time your letters will be edited to prevent such information so you'd have to be creative. Tell her about a 2025 mile trip you took and fill out the rest of the telephone number with number of gas station stops meals eaten, people visited, etc etc. If you really want to you can call her, assuming you are actually talking to her and not a fake agent. Find out where she works. Call there and get her direct number. Try anything. But so long as you are only writing emails, you should assume little correspondence between the profile and the emails you are getting. Odds are if you are corresponding with a real woman, much of your correspondence has been "enhanced" or even written by the agency and you will have to start over getting to know her. Independent studies indicate that you have a higher chance of marrying a translator for the agency than you do of marrying the girl to whom you thought you were writing.
Answer: Do they get paid? Not in a conventional way set up in a western society. Charming Date, gets its women from "affiliates" in Ukraine. These "dating groups" go out and advertise for women, who are seeking western men. The site pays the "affiliates" money for each women's profile they get to use the site. I CANNOT definitely say that the affiliate groups are set up to pay the women. They feed them a lot of bullshit about how easy it is to marry a western man. In Ukraine, the average salary is about 200 bucks a month. A lot of these women love that country, but want a better life. The dating sites know this and use this as their leverage to get women to sign up. They really BELIEVE that someone is going to marry them. That is their dream and the dating sites tell them that the dream will never be realized if they are not exposed to a society (western) that can give them a better life. Not all of those women are scammer's. You have groups within the affiliated dating service group, that is filled with nothing but scammers. I am SURE that the leader of these groups ASK to be paid for each women they get to sign up.If they DO pay a woman, she is not getting hardly anything at all. A Ukrainian woman is not going to get rich advertising herself online at different dating sites. I would say she is lucky if she even gets 10% of a reply. And then that is eaten up by all the photo-shopping that is done to make them look more beautiful. She is stuck, she does not realize how hard it is to get her out of the Ukraine because the dating site will not ever tell her of the VISA restrictions that are attached to Ukrainian citizens when it comes to visiting the West. But the dating site is her only hope., so she stays with it not because of the little she may be getting, but because she believes that she will find a real husband from the west. To the dating sites, she is nothing but the product they advertise to make money off of, and some of the women have gotten hip to that. I have had a couple talk to me seriously about how they felt they were not being informed on how hard it is to marry a western man because of the restrictions on the average Ukrainian's VISA. The dating site WANTS you to fall in love with one, wants you to keep buying credits, spending money, and if you are communicating with a lady from one of the crooked affiliate sites, she will be encouraging you to keep writing, or will try to seduce you with words. A real lady does not do that, even in the sites. If you tell her the site is too high, she wants to know how much you pay. If you tell her you can only write her once a week, she will tell you that she will cherish each letter you send. If you are in a site that has video chat, you can SEE the very woman you are talking too, which Charming Date may have now. A true Ukrainian woman will introduce you to her family through the video chat, show you her brothers and sisters, because Ukrainians are all about family. They are proud of their families and want them to meet you. I have done this several times at another site and even send emails to them without the use of a site, but it costs them a lot of money to respond to you, to have what you send to them interpreted. CharmingDates plays this game two ways, they pimp the woman without her knowing how hard it will be to get this dream, and they scam you thinking you are just going to find a wife here just by a few chats or letters. You might, but you can bet you will be spending a lot of money to send and respond to letters. CharmingDate cheats on their chat feature by NOT giving you the full time you pay for, and they DO have women, who are members of the dating site, answering chat invitations. So, that should tell you something right there. Because there seem to be no restrictions or laws governing these crooked affiliate sites from Ukraine, this will not ever stop. But... there are a few sites out there that you can really meet some decent, nice, attractive and respectful women from Ukraine. After you have been around for awhile, you can smell a scam a mile away. A real Ukrainian woman will SURPRISE you with how friendly she is. She will SHOCK you with how humble she is. All she wants... is for you to be her friend and she HOPES, that it becomes more than that. There are many, many attractive women there. This I learned AFTER my first post here. But because there are so many, the men there take them for granted and will leave them in a minute. They are there, they are in Charming Date, but there is so many frauds and scammers there also, the dating site can easily get out of trouble by saying they have no policies at all governing the affiliates who sell them profiles of women they recruit. The site says "no scams", that is true for any society that has laws, but they do not get these women from a society based on that. So, it is easy for a woman and the company she works for, to scam the site, which I am sure... they know it. Good luck out there! Search the sites hard, there are some Ukrainian women that are really worth your time and attention. I am continuing to find out more and more about Ukraine. It is a very interesting place. It also seems that, the more you seem to want to know about their country, the more honest women are attracted to you. The more intelligent you act towards them, the more credible the women seem to get. It seems like a word goes around the country that says" this guy has a real interest in our country, he is worth being serious with" The truth be told, a lot of dudes, pay that little money to those women, and want nothing but virtual sex from them. That is how I believe the scammers got a foothold in the industry. The cry for immoral (smile). Everything you have read here is based on my personal opinion, on things I have learned while talking and dealing with women from Ukraine. When they were asking me about the unrest in America, about holidays, about how streets look like, you can assume... she is probably on the level. She will NOT EVER ask you for a DIME, nor will she send sob stories about someone in her family being sick. The true Ukrainian woman, for all her humbleness, is still a very PROUD woman. She may not have ANYTHING, but she will not ask anything from you! Personally... I think if you get a chance to get ahold of a true one? That Slavic woman is going to love you to death, no matter WHAT you look like... just have a decent heart and treat her correctly.
Answer: I flew to Kiev and found this site to be much of what others have said. The woman are paid. Local model agencies refer girls to this site to make extra money. One girl told me she made fifty per cent of what she brought in. When I surprised a couple of girls that I was in Kiev vacationing they were all of a sudden leaving Kiev on there own vacation. I found meeting girls in Kiev at bar/restaurant I was much better off. If you notice girls send you the same pictures just to build their tally and so on. If you stick to a letter a week and see where it goes from there it will keep your costs low if you want to keep investigating this site. But my recommendation is travel to Kiev during winter and Oddessa during summer and see what happens.
Answer: It's a fake and scam site.
Answer: Any positive feedback here about Charm Date is a complete lie. Don't believe anything.
Answer: They will not do this. I actually wrote them about a month, maybe two back about policies. This was one of them I wondered about and they said they do not provide that service anymore. They also do not support IMBRA.
Answer: You have to request them to do this. I would delete all your photos, and erase everything you can. Then make the request.
Answer: This site appears to be a complete rip off, far too expensive, gives nothing in return except endless chat.
