Author Post lknfor Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/16/2004 3:11:05 AM   I have been corresponding with someone whom I thought to be quite serious about looking for a mate. However, after three letters I have received a notice from Anfisa Breus, who is Manager of Marriage Agency "BLIND DATE". I do not mind paying the fees (I think they are fairly reasonable considering the service that they say that they will provide), but I am curious as to how legit the whole thing is. Does anyone have information about this agency? Is this normal, or is it a scam? If so, I would like to hear about it before I waste my time and effort on a lost cause. Nisse Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/16/2004 4:01:56 AM   I have been using their services since last year and they are legit, met them personally a couple of week ago in Petersburg slowgu Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/16/2004 4:10:02 AM   Hmmm. Close check, but you might want to investigate: Anfesya Grigorivna Breus (Donetsk, Ukraine and St. Petersburg, Russia) as found on: http://www.stop-scammers.com/allscammers.asp I don't know for sure, but it's pretty similar. nasfan6 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/16/2004 4:52:20 AM   Check Scam Alert they will shoot you straight. I have found a fountain of information there. crashnsplash Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/16/2004 5:50:33 AM   Listen to Nisse he was there, he met Anfisa. Olga our moderator also said good things about her agency in the past. Can't remember which thread, maybe one of Nisse's in the past before he went, not sure though. As for Blind Date, Ive been with them since November. I will be meeting Anfisa in 3 weeks along with my lady when I arrive. Don't possibly screw up a good thing you may have with your new lady lknfor. southerngentuk Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/16/2004 10:08:52 AM   Due to my busy life i dont get on here as much as i would like however today i have come here to research a previously read thread about this subject. However I do not need to as Iknfor has got here first.. I yesturday got an e-mail from blind date as well asking for money... Iknfor dont send a penny till we exchange notes. I shall e-mail you direct.. TimH Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/16/2004 11:04:02 AM   Yes Ikn, its normal to be asked, and if you are so far not paying for translation, then bet on it that your girl is, and she cannot afford it. Although, asking after only 3 letters is a bit swift !!!! My ladies agency didnt ask for a month (about 20 letters each way by then) I though that was fair because it gave us time to know we wanted to continue, and as my lady had stuck it that far I knew she was sincere too because it had been costing her to write until then, so I divvied up without complaint, but your "blind date" people are a bit keen !!! As regards finding one listing on one scam site, it doesnt necessarily mean they are a bad agency, they may have had one bad girl who has hacked off some ifiot and tsaid idiot has trashed the agency all over the place, some men do that because they are assholes !! But I would go with Nisse`s and Crash`s opinions, they know these people and they speak higly of them, that would be good enough references for me :o)) southerngentuk Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/16/2004 11:43:44 AM   It is a little coinsidental that 2 of us get the request at the same time from the same agency thou. I understand the situation for the ladies and am simpathetic. However other issues are involved with this lady that am not happy with, so it is bad timing to ask for money at the moment. Am hoping me and ikn dont have the same lady aswell.. TimH Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/16/2004 12:39:59 PM   Thats always a concern mate !!! But there is a rule or two with fiance.com that will in many ways protect you. If a girls agency ask you for money for translation and letter forwarding then they Must remove your girls profile from the site immediately. That way they can only take money from one man at a time to write to that particular gilr, they cant have more than one bite at the cherry. On removal they should give youa direct email address at the agency to which you can write in future. Now of course this eliviates any more men from fiance.com writing to your girl (and being asked for money to do it too !! naughty naughty !!) But, it doesnt stop that girl being on any number of sites through that agency and remaining on those sites, so check lots and lots of other sites too to be certain that your girl has commited to writing to you, and isnt fishing elsewhere too !!! I was very fortunate, my Natash` had I think about 6 letters to her name when I first wrote to her, from that day on her letter count never rose unless I wrote to her and a month later I got a letter from her agency, and I agreed to pay for translation because I was as sure as I could be that Natash` was sincere and certainly not mass mailing any men from the site as all the letters she had recieved were from me. Her agency took her off the site as soon as they had my agreement to pay and the rest is history :o)) Will be back there in a few weeks now and can hardly wait. I was originally going on June 4th but Natash` has study and exams which finish on the 24th of June so I plan to go then for at least 2 weeks, maybe 3 :o))) TimH Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/16/2004 12:41:09 PM   "If a girls agency ask you for money for translation and letter forwarding then they Must remove your girls profile from the site immediately." If you agree and pay up I mean !! Sorry, I didnt make that clear enough for the new guys around here :o)) southerngentuk Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/16/2004 2:11:37 PM   Ok it is confirmed me and Iknfor share the same lady. Am not into pistols at dawn or nothin so am backin down and lettin pay the agency fee's..lol at us... :))) southerngentuk Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/16/2004 2:14:36 PM   Just a thought! if we both had paid up this agency would be paid twice 4 unlimited translations and courier 4 letters.. I wonder if they would have sent her 2 roses when they took her pic 4 us Iknfor.. southerngentuk Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/16/2004 2:39:35 PM   Ok this must be a Scam - Part of the package the agency offers is to provide an e-mail account for are private correspondance... suprise - her previous e-mail is nolonger available and returns all. any others on forum with this girl/agency Olga Lazareva 26497 ( profile now removed ) TimH Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/16/2004 3:18:23 PM   No mate, havnt seen her profile, but if you have a photo I might recognise her from when I did look through the site. southerngentuk Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/16/2004 4:13:50 PM   Tim - dont worry mate, just wantin to warn others...have a few thou I am beggining 2 think this is almost imposible 2 find 'the one' here. It is just pot luck. I guess. I still have my special lady that I call 3-4 X a week thou. Funny that I never found here on a marriage site, just a russian personals site. TimH Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/16/2004 6:16:04 PM   They are all over the place mate, as you say, you just have to hit it lucky :o)) lknfor Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 5/16/2004 6:22:56 PM   Well guys, thanks for the information. I do not plan to pay for a service that very well may be duplicated by others. Especially when I have not really gotten to know this lady very well at all. I could see paying a fee for translation and such, but I would want to know the lady better. Once again, still "looking for" Lknfor Your Reply: Your name:   New Registration Password:   Forgot password?   refresh Code:   Russian brides > Main Forum > Is it normal for an agency (other than FSU) to be requesting payments?
