It seems credible. danny3777 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/28/2005 12:29:57 PM   try a google search for 'faceofsiberia scam', it has a bad name to say the least. VNVnation Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/28/2005 2:55:55 PM   I have never heard one good thing about Face of Siberia. I briefly dated a girl that is on the FoS site. She entered some sort of beauty contest three years ago and never agreed to be listed on their dating site. Of course, she ended up on their site in various pictures of her in the bikini part of the contest. She said she went to the agency several times and demanded to be removed, but she never was. She said she never wrote to any guys who contacted her through FoS, but I would guess that someone else was writing on her behalf. Why else would the agency keep her on the site for over three years? I'd stay away. There are many other more reputable agencies that you can use. Lux Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/29/2005 12:34:21 AM   I checked out better business bureau. There was a complaint against that follows like this, "I was only interested in one woman. I asked to only get her number. They said I had to pay full price for the package. When I finally got through to her, she told me that she was put on the site by means of the beauty pageant, but wasn't interested in dating men through an agency." However, "Ashley," the head guy of FoS, rebutted it and said there were other guys who dated this particular gir. Anyway, I'm looking at other sites, specifically ladiesofrussia.com russianladies.com fiance.com Lux Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/29/2005 12:43:17 AM   Actually, I just found a site today eastwestmatch.com It is the best I've found so far. It looks like an offshoot of European Connections, as is russianladies.com, I believe, all based out of Atlanta, Georgia. The reason I'm convinced this fiance.com is so credible is because it has this forum, and I also lurk around the russian ladies forum in this site, using a free online translator (worldlingo.com). Very interesting. European Connections says they're responsible for 7,000 foreign/native marriages. I would like to talk with some of these people who've married like this. I would especially like to talk with someone who has been with a Russian wife longer than a couple years. Lux Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/29/2005 12:49:30 AM   Because of course you can read a dozen glowing testimonials, and feel like the chapters of your own story will turn just as happily as those other guys. But then, if there 10 dozen miserable marriages resulting from this, either those customers won't feel inspired to write a letter of recommendation, or they will feel too embarrassed to write of his experience, or if he does write, "Hey, the russian bride thing isn't working out. Too many barriers, too many cultural differences, too much misunderstanding and miscommunication..." then the website of course will not post that as a testimonial. I'm not saying this is the case, but it's just a fear (maybe irrational) in the corner of my brain. By the way, I was blown away by the percentage of georgeous ladies who spoke fluent or proficient English on the eastwestmatch.com website. I almost feel reluctant to mention it to this forum, because then I'll have more competition. danny3777 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/29/2005 2:17:43 AM   Lux, My wife works for a dating agency, a small one, and amongst other sites they post profiles on freepersonals. On that site, an average or better looking lady may get 150 letters a day so if you're going to worry about competition from another half dozen guys, well I wouldn't worry. East West Match, aren't a number of the ladies scantily clad? Do you believe such a lady to be genuine? You need tofind a site that has some form of 'quality contol' and not where any Tom, Dick or Harry can post a profile for a few dollars or less. Whatever you do run it through a www.google.com search first. curmudgeon Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/29/2005 4:58:52 AM   Lux, I joined eastwestmatch about a month ago and wrote about 10 women, and only 1 has actually opened my mail. I'm not particularly nasty looking (actually get hit on a lot by women 10 years my junior and more) so I don't think it's because my picture is scaring them off. "Jim's list" (see google) puts them on the grey list of agencies -- neither clear scam, nor gold standard. I'm sure they have some legitimate girls, but also lots of dead profiles. I wouldn't join again, but that's just my opinion. Neonred Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/29/2005 5:58:20 AM   I met my girl on eastwestmatch. Worked very well for me. Much better than buying individual addresses. izifaddag Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/29/2005 6:30:15 AM   I think EWM is without a doubt the finest site available. Only came across one scammer and one dubious. Wish I could say the same for Fiance. And that is not to either put down Fiance or even critcise it. It is the responsibilty of the guy to be educated and fully aware of what he is into. I feel that EWM and Fiance are very much a tag team. They go together and compliment each other. Nothing 'grey' about EWM. I have made many friends there that I talk to to this day even though they know I am 'taken'. There are dead profiles but that can be straightened out by cross referencing. I have found women listed there, in Fiance, FF and even in a couple of cases found local Kherson girls that were in my local agency and only a phone call away. As for buying individual addresses that is a definite scam. Biggest negative with Elena's Models. Neonred Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/29/2005 7:45:33 AM   And the absolute worst is paying by the letter...Anastasiaweb, and a few others. Avoid at all cost!! The ultimate scam. Lux Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/29/2005 9:15:58 AM   Thank you all. I haven't yet invested a penny in any of these sites. I've just lurked. curmudgeon Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/30/2005 4:16:39 AM   Izi, what do you mean by weeding out dead profiles by cross referencing? By the way, I've found fiance has lots and lots of dead profiles as well. I've read many good things about "a foreign affair" as well. My main gripe with that website is that it's very inefficient to search. With fiance, you can search along many more attributes, and you get 80 pictures at one time on your screen (and let's face it, for most of us that's the first screen). Olga Moderator send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/30/2005 10:41:35 AM   We remove at fiance.com profiles of ladies who do not reply on our emails everyday. Some girls are not active for 6 month, and then start communicating again. The same is for gentlemen members. izifaddag Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/30/2005 10:55:03 AM   Olga I do not know how many women I have contacted on Fiance that did not respond. That is not to say that these women are unique to Fiance. I have written to the same women from other sites also and they will also not respond. There are many reasons for this and not least of which is that they are just not interested. An advantage of both Fiance and EWM is that we are sent notification that she has read the email. However it can take months sometimes for her to read that one email. I feel that you only remove inactive members if it becomes glaringly obvious that they are inactive. For every one you remove there will be hundreds that you do not know about. It is practically impossible to police properly. There is not criticism in what I am saying think it is virtually an impossible job. jmoluv Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/30/2005 12:05:15 PM   ditto that izzi, fiance has so many women here it is impossible for them to remove the ones that never answer . fiance only knows about it when you notify them. Am i right Nadya????? I feel these women have an obligation to reply when they register with any agency . I probably have at least 100 women who never opened up my introduction letters in one and a half years. jmo curmudgeon Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/30/2005 12:35:11 PM   Well, one way would be for websites to post when was the last time the woman accessed her email or logged on to the site. Or they could require the women (and men) to reactivate their profile periodically. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if 80% of all profiles (not just fiance but across the board) are inactive. In fairness, it places website operators before a dilemma: most men will prefer to join a site that has lots of profiles. So you can be honest and see the business go to less scrupulous competitors, or do what everybody else is doing. That said, I think in the long run a reputation for quality will pay. LenaVB Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/11/2010 11:02:26 AM   I want to warn all Russian girls who is trying to find good husband online BE WARE!!! There are a lot of guys who cannot find anyone in own country, thay are unmanageable, manupulative and angry just like my husband. Thay will not change and when you are here, it is not always easy way out. Be sure to date guy for long time, if he is pushy, forget him or it will be biggest mistake of your life. russ-key Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/13/2010 5:42:52 AM   Lena that is very good advice! There are however plenty of men who value the qualities of a Russian/Ukrainian woman. I myself do not find most British women attractive and have always had foreign girlfriends. There is a sense of adventure in being with a woman from a different country, even though the Russian/ Ukrainian women are very hot tempered!! I would recommend to men and women, DO NOT rush into anything. Get to know the person as you would in your own country. You read of people proposing after 2 weeks together! Can anyone know a person after 2 weeks and a few letters? If your lady comes to live in your country, allow her the time to go back to her country. She will miss it like hell! My wife goes back for a couple of weeks every 3 or 4 months. We have been together for 5 years now and are starting a family this year. So yes it can work, just take time to get to really know the person before you jump in with a ring!
