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.

Beware!
November 8, 2014

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.

Scam
October 13, 2014

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...

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.!

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.

Total fraud
February 7, 2014

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.
