There is nothing honest about this scam website. You buy 21 dollars worth of "credits" and they get used so fast that you don't even know what happened. You pay to send a email, you pay to read an email, you pay to see a picture, you pay to see a video, you pay and pay and what you wind up with a limp----! If you really want a wife, so look around in the good old USA. There are plenty of gals wanting to get married or other things as well. This site is so crooked that it would make the malfia pay attention to learn the ropes on scamming online. These beautiful women could find a sugar daddy here in the USA in nothing flat. Why would a beautiful gal want to marry a old guy anyway, that is unless he was very rich and ready to kick the bucket. Don't waste your time and money!
This site is a series of scams - most obvious, some to watch out for. Many photos are shared by many profiles as are the messages they send. They also constantly find ways to increase the exorbitant costs - the latest being to have in line pictures charged at more than the message rate and to charge for second and other pictures with each message. All done with no notice - just introduced overnight - or sometimes by taking the site down in the middle of chats.
Should be obvious to most that these ladies are all in on the act - the number of short messages and fake pictures they send and for 19 year old so called 'virgins' to be making themselves available to 50 plus year old foreigners - it cannot be a very promiscuous society in Ukraine with so many virgins!
The biggest scam is the 'lady call me' as it allows the 'ladies' to make calls and terminate them before they are connected - draining the credits with no visibility - a trick perfected by a ginger lady titled Olga from Odessa - until she got too sloppy and allowed one of the calls to ring!
None of the so called ladies will share information and always have the same excuses of not understanding, having different page layouts for the standard social sites and 'mis-hearing'. They also supply false information to search for - beware of Arina Bezruk - the name has been supplied to several gents and does not exist - along with all the other stories of the 'lady' concerned.
I am not a young person so time is important. I need to find my special lady ASAP as I am dying from the inside of my heart with the unsuccessful relationship and the damage my EX cause to my heart, health, and life in general. My health suffers badly due to stress and loneliness. I need a good caring understanding female companion and best friend so healing can happen not more harm. I register in lots of dating website with the hope of finding this special lady, ladies in CharmingDate are pretty beautiful.
The negative reviews about this site in the internet are very mixed and somewhat really negative and untrue. I cannot overstate how much I have appreciated all of the assistance the team has provided to me in resolving the issue that I encountered when I first joined the Charmingdate site. Up till now, I like the site.
Reguarding Charming date aka Charm date is a scam any positive messages is a employee of the site. BEWARE!
I did play for a email contact and emailed couple of times. It wasn't the same person that was in profile.
These 5 star reviews must be written by the scammers from the site. It's a scam. Their latest thing is to show a valid passport and sometimes promise a visit. When a site charges by email, it is a scam. The cost to translate per email is very little compared to what they charge. Don't waste your money even for a few credits. Any site associated with qpidnetwork.com like charmingdate.com, IdateAsia.com, Latamdate.com, are scams! I cannot find a place to delete my profile.
Don't bother it is an all out SCAM. Woman are only interested in making you spend money on $6 letters and chat at $1 per minute. They will ask you to call them thru site costs over $100 and they will never give there personal information only false excuses and lies.
I can't believe this! Site Jabber itself is a FAKE! The internet is fake. I put my name as Jim without any last name and they wrote Jim B. On my comment! This whole internet is FAKE! O M G we are in a fake world... We think we exist but if everything around us is fake, what makes us real?
But there is one sure fact! CharmingDate.com, Latamdate.com, ChnLove.com iDateAsia.com are all FAKES! FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE. You have to be really desperate or $#*!ed or both to lose a dime of your money to these FAKES. I'm still on the site enjoying the FAKE attention from the FAKE "Ladies". As you might guess, My real name is not used on any internet websites! We are surrounded by FAKE Fake AND MORE BS.
My mum once told me that you should love as if you were to die tomorrow. Every night, I see a lady in my dreams. A lady that her smile is as lovely as a flower, voice as candy. If I told you guys that I just found the lady in my dreams via this site, could you believe that? Haha, it just happened. I saw some reviews in the Internet before trying this site. I don't know what their cases are, but for me, my lady showed.
How is it possible after signing up without a photo I had in my mail box 15 requests for contact and ridiculous pop up s of chat online requests. Seriously guys it is impossible this site is anything but a re invention of the phone line at 3-4bucks a minute system.
Even if there are serious and real women the system has no integrity as a normal or serious partner finding site.
Its entertainment for sure but expensive entertainment to talk to someone on email right?
The site is clearly a ' Scam ' and the proof of this is in the messages you receive. I have had the identical message which has a reoccuring format to it from two separate women. It seems like it is based on an automated service and I have even received on more than one occasion an email which started ' Dear ' and then the email itself. I read into this where my name was forgotten to be put into a draft which had been pre-written. Another example that came about via the live talk facility was a lady commenting on my smile in my profile picture despite me being very straight faced. Again I have had duplicate and identical messages, and this was from different separate ladies. The messages received are general philosophy and could relate to anyone in general who receives them... Via the chat facility the messages received generally start with your name as the first word, which personalises it, and then a silly phrase or question eg: Would you like a beautiful woman to clean and cook for you? Or I love that you are the last person I think of before I go to sleep...
Many thanks to this site, CharmingDate and the agency! I met my perfect match and now we are living together. I have spent years looking for Love, many many lonely days, nights, months, years have gone by, and I have waited. Not knowing if I would ever find. Now my prayers have been answered. I jump up and scream with joy. I was reborn, a new man, a new feeling washed over me. Thanks a million to this lovely site!
The site looks good, but, it is aimed at getting your cash from you, rather go to the country and find someone the old fashioned way. This site is full of scammers. I am sure there are a few genuine ladies here looking for a mate, but to find one amongst all of the scammers will cost you a fortune.
Valeria(C*******) Age: 28, Birthday: Oct 02 Kharkiv Ukraine... This lady is a scammer, she is married with 2 kids.
Evidence here http://vkontakte.ru/#/id*******.
She has a confirmed profile on Charmingdate which means that their verification process is flawed. Don't spend a dime on this chick.
The ring on the finger in the photo with the red dress. The bloke is the husband with the two kids
When the first search result you see on a search engine is "Charming Date Scams" it's time to wake up... Basically all this website does is provide online companionship to lonely, misunderstood, intoxicated or foolish souls.
You will pay an exorbitant rate to correspond with the images of sweet understanding women. The company's privacy policy prohibits the exchange of any personal information -Therefore you will never have the opportunity to meet any of these people in reality or verify their existence.
Do not be fooled by the reviews of company representatives on this or any other review site. I fell for the scam head over heals and lost about $200 -be careful and defer to traditional wisdom: "If it's too good to be true, it probably is."
Flagging up the problem I had may or may not be of use to their technical people but at least they know about it and they solved the problem! Appreciate that. Professional customer service.
You can be a great man on this site, millions of hot ladies keep writing you how charming you are and it’s glad to meet you blablabla. A little bit surprised and flattered but I will not deny it. Haha
This site is one of many where the women are given computers and they sit at home online sending letters or requesting chats with men that get on just to generate money. They have no intention of being with any man it is simply a job, they get paid a certain percentage of the amount of money they generate. I read a letter from a girl, sent a response and she sends me 3 letters back... at 7$ each... this happened more than once. Then while I am on I continuously get chat requests... a chat is about 3$ ever 5 minutes... bottom line this website is making a killing, hire beautiful girls give them a computer and the money starts rolling in.
I have been doing some research online about these "dating sites" like CharmingDate and I how found out that about 50% of the information and reviews are about men with bad experiences and about 50% are good experiences and reviews...
Now to be honest, I do think that it is idiotic for a 50+ year old male to think that an 18-19 or even a girl in their 20's will be interested in them. What more? Most likely the 50 year old men look like Jabba the Hut from Star Wars and the girls look more like models. Do you think there is a match?
Even if the girl was desperately in need of money, most likely she will be looking at ways of taking advantage, not love!...
I do think these agecies are phony and they want to milk the men as much as possible, heck, for one thing, you do not know if you are chatting with the Russian, Chinese or Colombian mafia!... Instead of the girl in the photos...
There may be girls out there that are indeed looking for a mate outside their country BUT I doubt they are in their teens or even early 20's... And I seriously doubt they are looking for a fat old dude...
Charmingdate.com is my absolutely favorite dating sites by far! I may have not met the love of my life yet, but there is light at the end of the tunnel for me! I love the chatting interface because it lets me chat with fascinating women as I would in real life while looking for a potential partner, without the faceless aspect of it that is. This site has slowly but surely helped me realize that I do still have hope in finding love! I do believe that anytime soon, love will come knocking at my door, or in this case at my computer screen, and until that moment arrives, I will continue enjoying the benefits on this site!
All things I was used to, things that I thought were met to work a certain way were absolutely changed when I signed up with Charmingdate.com. I was brought up believing that it is the man's duty to ask a girl out, not the girl. I was raised in believing you only met the good girls at church or a wedding. When I joined this site, I obviously was going out of my comfort zone and joining a new world of dating, internet dating. To make matters even more amusing, the woman I am currently seeing steadily, the one I picture spending the rest of my life with…. Well, she was the first to text me and ask me to join her in a chat!
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.
