HotRussianBridesReviews 72

Lost some money, no real women, you are communicating with some guy sitting in his apartment in Kiev or Moscow. There is no real communication with a woman here. They find pretty pictures online then post them as if they know these women, its all fake

I have been on this dating site since 2008 and it was truly best! Until 2018, I have no idea what happened but it turned into the worst dating website. I wish it could get back to what it was. As far as I know all girls left the website and went to others like Secretdateroom.com or Find-bride.com or Romancecompass.com there are many actually. So dont waste your time on Hotrussianbrides... unfortunately its not as it used to be anymore

It was not a very reliable site back then and as far as I know it's even worse now with absolutely no control over scammers. Nothing is done to deter scammers from signing up and doing their disingenuous work, they are hardly every banned. So it's a low-quality service with high prices (a rip-off in other words). $$$$

I found a credible service Seek4Bride.com with slew of classy women, beautiful inside and out, and I stopped wasting my money on HotRussianBrides. As soon as I learned how HRB worked I dropped it like a bad habit! You lose money there quicker than at a casino. Women from HotRussianBrides claim to be in search of relationship, but it's absolute BS. When I tracked them down on social media I discovered that the vast majority of them were in relationship. When I tried to reach out to them, they either ignored or blocked me. I found out that HRB offers their female members financial compensation for chatting with the men, so do you see how it works? What a disgusting business practice! Crooks preying on single people's money!

I was on the site for a few years starting about 10 years ago when it was probably 70 percent legitimate profiles. There have always been fake profiles, and many individuals using it to profit without seeking relationships. Actually met the woman I married on the site about 7 years ago after communicating and having meetings/relationships with two other women before I met her. As the site was losing ladies to other agencies back in 2018, they were down to basically 10 cam-girl profiles based in Cherkasy, and decided to go the full scam route, with the local agencies reviving old profiles (my wife's included which is how I knew it was a scam) as well as a few of the women I had met over the years, and still communicate with as friends, I knew they were also married with kids and no longer used the site. All these women had been locked out of their profiles and had no way to delete them, even after contacting their local agencies. What other negative reviews say is true about the cam-girls, they're on the job. And any other profile that is not in video chat is 99% being used by an employee of one of the local agencies, looking to get you to spend money on credits or gifts for which they get a share of the proceeds. There may be honest international dating sites out there, but this is absolutely not one of them, a scam top to bottom since mid-2018. Save your time and money, go elsewhere. I-Pay Global in Cheyenne, Wyoming is either complicit or masterminding the scam with the local agencies based in the Ukraine. And yes, my wife filed a complaint with local law enforcement when we learned of it, but we're doubtful anything will happen.

I used HRB for some months and then decided to go meet three ladies in 3 different cities Kiev, Cherkassy & Zaporozhye. In Kiev, I took my own personal translator with me for one of the dates for safety. Before the date, I was informed to pay USD 100 to buy a ladys contact information and I was told she was interested in me. It was a BIG FAT LIE. The first girl was from Kiev. This girl comes with her translator and me with my translator sat at the table in a restaurant. Soon this girl started talking about meeting her family. I knew you just cant meet a ladys family on a first date. Then after the meal, they asked my translator to leave & they went on a shopping spree. Luckily I refused to pay for items and she kept wisphering to her translator quietly asking me to pay. I bluntly refused. I bought her only a few costumes & nothing more apart from some facial cleanser she wanted. Then on second date, she told me she would meet without her HRB translator and I sat waiting for over 3 hours in a mall only for this girl to return later in the mall giving an excuse she had to work on her day off. She didnt as she came later. I had already left the mall by then. She goes and sits in a roof deck bar and calls me asking me to return back. I take my personal translator with me over there for safety. We realise this girl had already eaten. (So much for etiquette. Where they learn their manners from who knows). We leave the place after few drinks. On the 3rd day she promised she would meet me. I wait whole day for her, messaging her, nothing. My personal friend translator decides to take me around Kiev not to be a dissapointed holiday. On Day 4 comes the lady wanting to meet at night and we go to a restaurant and she asks for money at the date. I refuse. She gives an excuse saying she needs to pay for rent & utilities. I refuse to give her any money. She gets only money home for a taxi ride. She then calls her agency to say I went to meet other girls and wasnt serious. This is how this girl behaved on HRB. When the manager tells me her comments, I blast the manager. The trip isnt over. 2nd girl I was to meet in Cherkassy. She knew I was coming and I mentioned to her I would be just 2 days there. Last minute after booking a train trip, she contacts me saying she wont have time as she has a baptism to attend for half a day. I clarify this with my personal translator who says baptisms for family gatherings last max 1 or 2 hours in Ukraine not half a day. This girl was another player. 3rd Girl I was to meet in Zaporozhye but she doesnt contact me back before I was to fly out there. Thankfully I cancel my trip to that city. So guys, SAVE your hard earned money and avoid this site HRB at all costs. If you do, it at YOUR OWN RISK. I can even show you receipts of proof of purchase for items paid in Kiev. 2nd girl from Cherkassy is still on the site Username DARIADARINA ID *******. Her sister also uses the site. Username IAMNUN. User ID *******. Avoid! Dont believe the phoney decent reviews on here. Must be written by HRB staff. 3 girls 3 scams HRB you are a scam site!

I was often struck by the fact that the women on video chat seemed able to type without looking at their keyboards!

I eventually figured it out.

Here is an experience I suggest you do: when invited for a "live" video chat with a lady who is "online" I suggest you ask her to do a specific movement, like for instance "put your hands behind your head". You will only too often get a "Why?" or any other reaction that will become increasingly aggressive and is just meant to keep you in the chat AND TO HIDE THE FACT that it is not a LIVE video at all but one that was recorded previsouly and re-re-replayed again and again.

In fact "she" is not online at all, someone else is typing for her and keeps you sucker paying by the minute.

Not all of them of course... just too many.

Hence I would recommend... caution.

,, functionality still the best, but it lost virtually all of it members (mostly paid cam girls) to other sites. Agencies have moved their members to sites (Veronicadates, step2love, VictoriaBrides/... Hearts) that pay higher kickbacks. They could not deliver gifts via agency in Kherson... took 6 weeks and 7 emails to get a "refund" of chat credits, but there is no one left to chat with. Chat list is populated mostly with inactive and outdated profiles. They even stopped sending fake letters written by agency ghost writers! Avoid.

Been on the site for 2 years off and on now left it and went there in person and found a girl in real
The site is full of scammers
My friend was there for 3 years and he had experience of a girl who asked him to send 300 dollars to learn english which was cheaper than the sites lessons which she pointed out then all of a sudden she needed she thedental work so he told her to use the money for that
She then asked for more money for English lessons so he told her she should pay for thm herself she then give him the guilt trip
Her ID is *******
If you want to watch girls naked on cam or sex chats this is the site although very expensive for that

My advise is pay for the flight and hotel and go there in person it is cheaper

This a site of scammers.
DO A GOOGLE SEARCH... see for yourself.
10,000's of testimonies about how This SITE and ALL OTHER "Pay Per Letter" SITES SCAM foreign men! SERIOUSLY... Do a google search and see the countless complaints/tesimonies about these scamming sites that charge per letter/per minute chat.

Stay away from ANY SITE that charges "Pay Per Letter". It's a scam site.
Be SMART GUYS... only join MONTHLY PAY SITES (with all chat, letters included).
Youll also see the pictures are more genuine AND REAL... none of these glossed up pictures.

YOU'LL FIND "most OR all of these positive testimonies" are done by employees of the site/s OR by some guy who lives at home with his mum & has never had a date then gets on these sites and thinks all the women want him!... WRONG!

MANY PROFILES are also on other well known scamming sites like Anastasia dating, Charmdate, Jump4Love, Victoria Hearts, worldwide-internet-dating (4-6 sites are under this dating site) etc etc etc.
The letters & chat questions the foreign guy receives are mostly generic & automated, Not of a personal nature, the dating agencies (not the sites) who communicate as if they are the woman herself OR from women on these scam sites who work for a commission just leading the foreign guys on to get money out of them!
The longer the "dating/marriage websites and local dating agencies" can keep the foreign guy corresponding the more money they make"!
The LOCAL dating agencies "HAVE THE POWER (not the dating/marriage websites) BECAUSE:
* THEY HAVE THE WOMANS PROFILES (& contact info)
* THEY SUPPLY the "dating/marriage websites" with the profiles
* THEY CHARGE FOR "EVERY letter/ EVERY minute of chat.
* THEY CONTROL ALL COMMUNICATION (use their own interpreters to manipulate correspondance).

BEFORE YOU DECIDE... LISTEN TO THIS INFO... tells you how it really is!

BE SMART or BE STUPID... the choice is yours!

P.s. Ive been stung in the past and have since spent nearly 12 months doing my homework on these scamming sites! (I am not an agent or affiliate and have ABSOLUTELY NO association with any of these links)

I have been on this site for 9 years, been to Ukraine 6 times and now live here.
I can tell you from experience that 90% of the women on this site are not looking for love.
They are getting paid to or give things in exchange for being in chat.
My latest discovery is scam a man by saying 2 girls want to live with him.
I will try to add a photo or 2 here but if you are talking to a girl from Charkasy and they are in full make up and posing for photo at Hotel Ukraine,,,, you can google this hotel to see the settings and the buildings,,,, they are fakes.
The agency they belong to is giving them make up and professional photos at a minimum in exchange for them to be on chat for x amount of hours a month.
Girls here are very vain, they will do anything to look good.
I have been engaged to 2 girls here. Age for me has been a problem with the families. A lot of the problems are not the fault of Hot Russian Bride site. It is the agencies that they belong to. The agencies don't care if the girls find love,, in fact they do not want the girls to find love. They want the girls to chat and to receive letters that is how they make their money. This site is asking for a pixel count to add a photo,, the photos that I copied form the site of 2 known scammers are not big enough. The ID numbers are ******* and *******.

I was on the site twice for over a year each time. I did meet someone, but it went nowhere. Basically, this site is set up for a few people who traffic in making you feel good make money. If you actually meet someone, it's a complete accident.

One agency actually charges $450 for you to get the girl's contact info after you pay the site 100 credits for the same privilege! Often I would get the same solicitations for three-way sex or some other nonsense - obviously a fraud. There are women who send out nude photos at will, but the censors won't allow the girl you are chatting with to send far less racy material unless and until you pay to have the block removed. There are many other indications that this site is a complete scam.

I was a member about 7 years ago. I looked for women 40+. I think that most of the older women were real. Many lovely and friendly women. Maybe many of the young girls who contact older men, are not real (resp. Real women looking for some dollars in the service of the site), but there are some real too. But the site is simply a money - machine, all their rules are made to take the money of the "silly" men an to take into their account. You may easily pay 10 or 20 times more than in good sites like Rosebrides.com. So they are betraying in a double way: they "betray" the men, and they "betray" some of the women, who are seriously looking for men within this moneymachine. Some may also find. I was in contact with Cathy from Sumy. I was too anxious to make wrong, so I missed her. The 3 stars are for her, not for the site.
