So I signed up with Charmingdate.com website and got a few pleasant surprises. I met a few women on there, some were not so genuine, some I liked but not well enough and one I dream of everyday! I made a few friends, but this particular girl kept me awake most nights just thinking of her. After months of communication, I finally got an opportunity to go meet her.
I already selected some profiles of women I have seen that I feel I am attracted to them. Soon I will be writing to them to see if there is a serious commitment as to whether they want to go to the next level, meaning, if the ideal lady wants to engage in a serious relationship. Up to now, I like what I see in this web site and I do hope I find the right person.
The problems is it's affiliates. CharmingDate is a good platform for frauds. Here's how it works.
I, as a professional translator (Ukrainian with fluent English), was hired as "manager" in a "marriage agency". They gave me profile of a girl (who I'm not sure existed irl) to manage. I had to send 50 admirer mails a day and spam with chat invitations (recorded mouse actions). The more replies I've got, the more time I've spent chatting, the more credits men spend - the higher is profit of so-called "agency". Translators were paid 15% of profit generated by the profile they oversee.
So, it isn't Ukrainian women that are greedy or anything - it is you, 50+ years old people, who think that a 19 years old girl would be genuinely interested in you. Apply your brain, stay within your league and you won't get fooled. Best wishes.
WARNING this site is a total SCAM, some of these women may be real people but the ones that are do this purely as a way to scam you for your money! Here is some very simple advice, for every girl you are interested in run all their pictures through Google picture search, https://images.google.com/ there you will find that the so called ladies images have likely been stolen from Instagram, VK, or some other site. You can contact these ladies directly and will find out that most of them have no idea who you are after supposedly having conversed with you for months!
BTW, understand that if you do find a woman over there, age doesn't matter MUCH but some 23 year old hottie is not going to marry you if your a 50+ year old. The people on here talking about meeting someone from this site is complete Bull $#*!, to those "I just found my perfect girl on here" show me a picture of you kissing in the Ukraine! Seriously, if you like women from Eastern Europe just get on a plane and travel there, if your good with women you should have no problem finding a good girl! If you suck with women, I don't know what to tell you, go take some classes on how to talk to and attract women, at least that will be better spent than talking to a bunch of guys who themselves couldn't pick up the hot women they pretend to be!
I spoke to one of the girls on the phone, she told me after I have asked her that it is true that the girls get paid to chat... and she told me the truth because
I was on my way to visit Her in Kiev, she told me I will be honest with you because you are series abut me, and I want our relationship to be real and honest.
But she also told me that most of the men's that write them sick perverts and they pay for it...
Charmingdate.com is a pay site in that you have to pay to send emails and chats. What makes this site different from other sites where the women make up bull crap about needing large sums of money, the “women” on this site typically do not have to ask for money, but they will tell the man many different lies to keep him coming back to pay the site for chats and emails. Fine if you like paying exorbitant prices for your fantasy, but otherwise, stay away. The 5 star reviews here on Sitejabber are most likely from the company staff at Charmingdate. Spread the word guys.
The service price is not that low, you guys should think twice before placing your first order as the women are soooooo cute that you cant stop thinking of her.
Beware! Beware! Beware! CharmingDate is a SCAM. I've been messaging with this girl for weeks, almost daily. I really feel she is genuine but she is definitely brainwashed by the site or held against her will. She told me she has a contract with her agency, a local dating service and they contract with the site. I managed to send her my phone, website and email coded in messages and she received them. She insists on going through the process with the site. Our latest agreement was that she will ask for my info and even pay from her side. I doubt they will let her! I'm sure that organized crime are behind the site and probably they are threatening those girls and holding them hostage against their will. This is the latest form of human trafficking. To turn the table on them I also told them that I want to hire an approved immigration lawyer. Beware when you pay for credits, I always bought a few at a time. I noticed that they double charged my credit card four times. I cancelled it. Don't give them your real ID. They might sell it in the black market and you will be a victim of ID theft. There is an organization that fight human trafficking, it's IJM.org (International Justice Mission). We need to report to them these cases especially when we can see that a woman is being held against her will. The least that can be done is to shut down their ability to charge credit cards. We need to go after the money, making hard for them to collect. If enough complaints are filed, Visa MC, AMEX will ban them. It's time to put those crooks out of job. This is a duty for us all to get retribution for being scammed and to spare others.
Professional models. Go on you tube, there are several programs whereas you do like like taking a walk through several different city in the Ukraine. You will find that the Ukraine is not a third world country. In fact they are very well off. Nice cars every where. Almost no homeless people begging for food or money. Observe the people walking around. Just normal every day decent people, just like here, in California. So then why would any of those women want to come over here? Furthermore, there is also documentaries about the Ukraine countryside. It is a very beautiful, diverse country, from the beaches to the mountains. So then ask yourself, why would any any of those women want to leave their home and country? Anyway I tried it, I couldnt even get my full name across. Then I watch and see all the crazy hours those women are there on line. Obviously they are professional models, getting paid just to sweet talk. I could could just go to a bar or night club and have more fun talking with women and it not cost me anything. Lets face it, this is a multi-billion dollar a year business. Save you money dudes, California still has the best women...
With the experience and after losing hundreds of dollars, I can assure you that this site is a 100% scam site
SCAM SITE 100%! Don't waste your time!
I never thought I would even think of falling in love again, until I joined charmingdate.com. Initially, it was all meant to be a lot of fun and games, but when I spoke to Caren maybe five times on and off for a few weeks, I slowly realized that every time we said goodbye, I didn’t want her to leave and every time I saw her online, my heart just did flip-flops in my chest! I am glad I chanced upon this site, even though initially, it wasn’t for serious love that I joined. I do hope I will get to meet the sunshine of my life soon and hopefully it will turn to something spectacular!
All Russian and Ukraine sites employ emotional prostitutes, the new term which means they make money meeting you in Ukraine or chatting to you online. They make this extra money to support their family or parents. Most have no desire to leave Ukraine or Russia thats propaganda unless you are very wealthy if you are old and wealthy they will give you the impression they love you but will be dating other Russian men on the side, i know two Russian women who do this its normal its the Russian way. They like cafes and nice clothes, if you think you are going to meet some 27 year old who is going to wear high heels and cook you dinner, wise up that isnt going to happen. If you are sporty and have loft in Manhattan then perhaps. If you have a beard and fifty years old live in the outback you haven't a chance, these women arnt stupid they have no real desire to be with a old man, Ukraine and Russia are not third world country there is money russian men and ukraine men understand them and date them. Good looking women are the same world over the they look for best mate appearance lifestyle and looks plus weatlh just the same as in usa. Also most women have no problems leaving you and finding another suitable mate if he has more to offer. Stop believing the hype or the replies you get you already live in country with 500 million people if you cant date in usa then perhaps you should stop looking at dating sites maybe its you is the problem.
Hey guys, I looked for people in ukraine and got them to look into this site from their side.
The results I got said most girls are fake but their are genuine ones.
If you filter through all the crap you might be luky enough to do well for yourself.
But always beware, Ukraine and Russia are the unoficial scam capitals of the world, besides Nigeria and them ones.
Ask the girls to turn on their web cam so you can see them, things like that.
I created a profile and received a lot of replies (so many that it seemed suspicious.)
So I created another profile (using a different email) and in this profile I put the picture of a short, fat old guy. In my description I said that I was an alcoholic, gambler, etc. and that I wasn't looking for anything but casual sex.
I received the same exact letters from any given "lady" in both my accounts. Obviously, the site is automating these letters.
SCAM SITE 100%! Don't waste your time!
I was conversing with a woman who was unmarried, childless, and new great English. I paid a private investigator firm to find this woman only $60. Best money ever spent. Turns out that this woman was a combination of a model and a translator. I happened upon the model who had lent her image and her social media site had the photo shoot pictures. Everything unraveld because the model was actually divorced, had a child and knew no English. Further, the model had linked to her social media site to this about the Charming site.
Here is a google translation of the sites description as it hawks itself to women to participate in the scam:
How to find yourself. How to entertain yourself. How to live well and rest elegantly. As afford what was previously available,,,,, girls, women, ladies! Marriage agency for permanent work need models, translators!
This group was created to find cute wonderful motivated individuals I want to make you an offer. At dating site Charming I need is you, Your charisma and appearance as well which is important to make doing and just have fun! And earn 300 ye a month!
I suggest three ways to participate;
1. Offered a job as a translator in our dating with foreign gentlemen. This requires just a desire to register on the site and earn money to correspond with gentlemen as well. The ability to go to the meeting. Receive gifts! Shopping for the girl and her happy eyes with gratitude the best-man)
2. Vtoroy way it does not work for the agency. Just register and go to the meeting with the men. Receive with money for hours spent in his company. Receive presents brought from abroad and eat for the best restaurants of the city! And have fun in the company of a charming girl translator))
3. I third most simple way. Generally not participate in any activities. Simply register and a nice bonus in the form of gift bears, good spirits and t DA Passive income is also a percentage of the interpreters work with your profile.
Incidentally Girls forgot to add the most important thing. Photoshoot is free to all participants in a very cozy atmosphere. Coffee and fun pastime all guarantee.!
Once i have been having serious conversations with three women and i plan to meet them when i visit Ukraine end of this year but to be particular the services of Charmingdate.com so far has been so exemplary and i really thank my friend for introducing me into the best dating site in the world.
Recently, I was able to meet a nice Russian girl on the site and have been communicating with her for about half a year. I planned to meet each other in the next year. And we have committed to each other in the talking. There may be some bad apples as there are with any site, but if you take the time and make the effort... you can do it to. I couldn't be happier.
Charmingdate.com is to me a nice-experienced dating site because incidentally i had tried a number of dating sites but i was never lucky enough because of the level of financial demand so i felt like my dream of dating an Russian woman was never going to be realized.
And I met an amazing woman 5 years ago thanks to this site. I was lucky you could say but it was a risk worth taking. I am glad I took a chance.
Charmingdate.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 a bit 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 expected with a daughter and a soul mate all thanks to this site especially the customer service.
Total fraud. Don't spend any time or money here. A majority of the profiles are fake. You'll constantly be bombarded with chat requests from fake ladies, and also emails from them. You cant chat or read the emails without paying fees. The messages and emails are written by staff or other people making money getting stupid MEN to pay fees on this site. Yes, MEN. (Women do not pay on this site!)
Keep away from charmingdate.com. It's owned by the same people as the equally fraudulent chnlove.com, and idateasia.com, and share the same member datatbase and fraudulent tactics.
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.
