Hey Guys...I was suckered into this Natasha Club as well...the people answering the questions are definitely not the real person...as someone else stated, check who has viewed you...most answers are coming from Illinois...the three times I tried to set up meetings with the women I was corresponding with resulted in excuses...THIS IS A PAY TO VIEW LETTER SITE and should be shut down as a scam...I don't know who to report to...but I hope you guys don't spend a couple hundred dollars like me...
Again, my gf is there in another name. She says it isn't her, and I don't see any reason why she would lie to me. I have never caught her in a lie, although she had many opportunities to. There are times when "she" is logged in and I am talking to her on the phone, or she is at work.
If you enjoy spending money writing some girls who won't give you their personal contact info and who will disappear without a trace after awhile because they are talking to a hundred other men besides you and having a bunch of University girls all want to talk to you so they can help pay their way through school then Natashaclub is the place for you! Seriously I would not bother with this place. If you ask the owner questions about all of the funny stuff that happens on his site, he will come up with all kinds of bullsh#t answers for it too.
Since I'm already dragged into this, I might as well you give you my assessment on this site. There are 3 scenarios taking place:
1. There are real profiles of girls that placed their profiles on local agencies and NatashaClub actually paid to have them as a franchise deal of some sort.
2. There are fake profiles of real women who are married, have boyfriends etc and take a piece of the cake.
3. The profiles are non-existent and the guy who sits on his fat ass on the other side of the Atlantic is actually laughing his ass off on a daily basis.
I have no clue of the percentage of each; would definitely like to see a statistic in the Internet somewhere. It wouldn't be surprising if only 5% of the women were for real.
As far as the 3rd scenario is concerned, you can actually do it from home in Maryland or Virginia; take it on the family like and start BS people. Get the wife on the deal, then the rest of the family and work on 8h shifts. You can definitely make a buttload of money within 3 years - tops. Fuck crisis - hey, as a business venture that would have been wise to do it myself. I speak fluent English you see and there's plenty of potential victims all over.
Not sure on which of the three I'm at the moment - will find out soon though when I get in Ukraine later on in the summer.

You learn from experience. Tis a pity you did not seek out earlier links on here about Natasha club.They have an awful reputation that is on the same level as anastasia com.
This site is a definate scam site, most of the girls there have identical profiles at dream marriage and army of brides. One girl i am now chatting with at yahoo has profiles at all 3. She is quite open about what she does there and what happens there. At army of brides and Natasha club all the correspondance is done by her interpreter, they both get a cut of the proceeds and most of it goes to the interpreter. She says she has no intention of meeting any of the guys that write to her and that is a scam in my opinion. At dream marriage she says she chats because she interprets herself with an online interpreter and she gets a bigger cut of the money made. Howether i have recently noticed some minor spelling mistakes made at yahoo and those are ones made if she was typing in english on an english keyboard. My conclusion is she does none of the corresponding herself and it is all done by her interpreter and yes she does set up meetings with men and takes them for as much money as she can that is her prize the money from correspondance is the prize of the interpreter. I would say this is a tried and tested system that most of the women use and i would avoid all 3 sites if you dont want to be lied to and ripped off.
I saw someone on this site recommend mamba.com but it's pretty rough to navigate (for me) and I made a few mistakes getting a profile up and running. Got a couple hits very fast before I could get it fixed wanting to meet (my profile mistakenly put me in Russia - my error not theirs) for sex. Now that I've figured it out and fixed it we'll see, but at least one member of this site says mamba is good though to me it seems a bit shady if I got that many hits that fast for dubious purposes.
SoCOZoomie, I believe I mentioned mamba to you a few days ago. Yes, it like many other social networking sites sites have their fair share of scammers and prostitutes. You just have to weed through them. Since you navigated mamba you should post a profile on "My World" @mail.ru it's a good place to join because it gives you additional abilities to check out any suspicious girls you might be writing to. Just about any Russian or Ukrainian that is computer literate habitates there. Once you are a "My World" member you simply search on their email address to see if they also have a site there.
Moi Mir (My World) is only for people who have an email address in either of the following domains:
@mail.ru
@list.ru
@inbox.ru
@bk.ru
Before it was a lot better (I met my fiance in Moi Mir), but lately it has become plagued with spammers, especially "one-date" girls who send mass messages to men offering their services. By the way, never click on the links they send.
In my opinion, Moi Mir is better (kind of MySpace in Russian) than Mamba (and all its affiliates, including love.mail.ru) to meet FSU girls. However, it is easier if you can communicate in Russian. If you feel confident, venture yourself to any of these two sites.
Mini and FSULover: Thank you both. Now that I have an accurate mamba profile I haven't had a single hit so it appears that we have it fixed and that's a good thing. Mini, what is the exact url addy for "My World", please-and-thank-you? As of now I do not speak more than 10 words of Russian and do not read Cyrillic at all. I have a few examples (including the most recent missive from the girl I've been writing for a week or so now) so all I need is to find a good source online for how to pronounce Cyrillic characters and I'll be able to write phonetic Russian in Anglic characters and begin to sound it all out. I do not participate in MySpace, Facebook, nor even "LinkedIn" - supposedly a more "business-oriented" social networking site so perhaps Moi Mir is a bit much for me at the moment.
Natasha Club is actually one of many, many sites under the agency
"www.1st-international.com." When you have a login for one, you get into all of them. They of course, have all the same girls, too.
If you go to: JIM'S Original Anti-Scam Site - http://agencyscams.com or
JIM'S Agency Checklist Site - http://jimslists.com, you can check them all out.
I was recently corresponding with a lady on Natashaclub, and it was when we decided to get away from the agency and write directly to each other, that I discovered her game. She gave me her "friend's" email to set up a deal for translation of our letters. I already had a translator for the phone calls. It was by accident that I found out her friend had a profile on Natashaclub also, and the pictures on both profiles were of the same girl. With the help of Alexander Cherednichenko, (www.luganskukraine.info), I (we) dug deeper and found they(she) had pages on "loveme.com" and a university social networking site, also. Fortunately I was able to cancel my flight to Lugansk and hadn't rented an apartment (through her), yet.
I was a lucky S.O.B, gentlemen! Here, now listen to this:
Once I dicovered the scam and reported it to Natashaclub, or "1st-International", they gave me a complete refund for every dime I gave then for letters, phone calls and gifts to this girl! Miracles do happen!
I'm not ever going back to 1st-International, Natashaclub or any of their affiliates, but I tip my hat to them for their charity in giving my money back! They sure as hell didn't have to, they have such a crappy reputaion anyway. One added complaint from me wasn't going to tarnish it all that much more!
WHEW!
So, if anyone needs help or advice on various agencies, Jim and Alex both were extremely helpful. Just follow the links from above.
I bought plane tickets and the woman suddenly told me it was too soon and I was too old. The only conclusion I could come up with is she was just there for the money she got from my letters. I had one month and I wrote to several women and chose one. I wouldn't call it a big mistake, but it was a learning experience.
