Adman, I used to be anal about reading the fine print in everything. A few years ago I decided not to read fine print unless it is a contractual commitment, I am tired of reading terms and conditions everywhere and every website I visit that I usually just click to agree anyway. So you answered my question that I could have answered myself, duh! Thanks for pointing that out.
Beems, that is a good point the more difficult the less men who are successful and less competition! spending money to buy names also eliminates, flying over there also eliminates...
Martin, Thanks for the idea, I will give that a shot and post my results in a few weeks.
Hello everyone!
I would love to express my point of view as to anastasia's service! I am one of the agents who provides service for women, so in other words I am an ownder of one of the agencies. I would love to tell you that may be some of men were deceived on this site but there will always be such situations in all the sites where money is involved. But anastasia strictly controlling the quality of our services fine agencies for any little mistake they do. So, many of the agencies were just deleted from the system for scam and other rude violations. I am sure the rest who still cooperate with them, will afraid to be deprived of their business. Anastasia managers can ask for video of any lady to prove she is real and is seriously interested in meeting a foreign man. I had such requests in my agency and I gave the proofs my ladies were real and interested. Soon, 50 persent of ladies and even more will have their video presentations on the site, so, guys, this is not easy to fool you))))))) I would not like to take such a risk, that is why I work honestly and I feel safe.
Will not tell you the name of my agency not to make a commercial here,
Respectfully,
flower))
Flower-
Thank you for posting. Your "industry" if it is willing to "Clean up it's act" needs to self regulate and develop a code of ethics, voluntarily develop a procedure that provides a consistent verification system- even use a web based service for that, not BBB of course they are useless. I don't know if Verisign might be helpful. Hopefully lead by example with good business ethics then advertise it. Make the prices reasonable based on Ukraine G/A cost factors for business, not at U.S. prices. Under-promise and over-deliver. The scammers will be put out of business. I read a post here about another scheme just posted here about having ladies "under contract"... please. Corruption in business and unethical practices keep countries stuck and economies do not develop, look around the world where corruption is rampant and it becomes self-evident.
Another thing would be nice if there was a personality test that could be used. Look at the U.S. dating sites for answers and ideas- there is alot more criteria to make searches efficient on these sites. Copy them.
I don't want to receive emails that were generated by any agency at all, just so I can spend $5.00 a letter to find out she isn't interested. The lady must do this herself if I am receiving something unsolicited.
I usually look up a woman on anastasia and army of brides, they seem so consistant with the information, almost to a T. But now I'm eading my threads I don't know if I wanna keep talking to these women.What the hay, it can't be any worse than these women in carolina
I too was writing a lady in Ukraine. After exchanging 42 letters with her, she quits her membership without any reason. She had asked me what present I would like for Christmas. I wrote that if I had one wish, it would be to see her Christmas day. After reading my letter she canceled her membership. Seems kind of strange to me. Of course I wrote to Anastassiaweb and asked about this. They told me she was real and that she quit her membership for personal reasons. Of course they refused to refund me my money. So, I quit my membership since I do not trust them anymore.
SCAM and Stolen Identity: I have confirmed yet again with her old agency and with Larisa, she was never submitted to and she never asked to be on ikarinter and wants removed. Larisa is very upset about all this and has been trying to get off all the sites she was submitted to by the agency Lady Orchid. Other sites have just copied her information without her permission. She never approved of being on all these web sites.
If you are writing to someone you think is (#16883 Ikarinter), Larisa Mikhailik from Vinnitsa, it is not her, it is people at the agency in Vinnitsa, or maybe a scammer who copied her information. The address and phone you have on the site is not correct either.
She was also # GZ3310 on about 100 partner sites, we finally got her removed there. according to their site, 45 men bought that information. We finally got her removed from AnastasiaWeb as well. She has had three different profiles there, and only the first was approved by her.
Please let me know at once if you have received her pictures and data, or letters. We need to stop all this.
BTW, I have been to her home in Vinnitsa twice, her mother's home outside Vinnitsa, we travel together, we talk several times a week for the last 18 mos, email daily, I have Ukrainian friends here in U.S. that know her, her mother and family there in Ukraine. Her visa to come to the USA is approved. There are scammers using her information, Larisa IS NOT a scammer, the person you are communicating with IS NOT Larisa Mikhailik. The agency has many pictures of her, and they send these to other men, saying they are recent, look closely, they are not.
Otaybob.... I have heard stories both ways about anastastia..never have ran into what you did. Maybe it was coincidence, maybe not.... When I mention about visiting, it perks them up, little bit of excitement. Of course, until they actually show up, it is all talk....my meeting rate is high. Maybe it is girls I talk to, maybe it is my writing, maybe my good looks(not)....it has worked for me so far. Because it is pay per letter, my letters are slow and I focus on girls I can see within 3-4 months time AND get postal addresses to send letters and confirm some subjects AND phone numbers...even if they can't speak english.
Wee you only speaking to ONE girl???
Well, having just entered this interesting world of international dating, I have selected 170 Russian girls and have 100 unanswered emails waiting to be opened... if only I could bring myself to reply to them all. How can I determine which of these beauties on Anastasia will be suitable for me without spending thousands? I should just be able to buy their email address for $5...
Love is a battlefield...
Here comes your knight fair maiden, hehe.
How can I determine which of these beauties on Anastasia will be suitable for me without spending thousands?
Million dollar question!!!! cheaper to spend a few grand!!
I would think anastasia is bad for you. try something like fiance to sharpen your skills, pay per letter will
break you real fast. There are such beauties, I have lots of will power.....although one in awhile, I have to see what a beauty will write. Those first letters are canned intro letters!!! As I said above...you have to hone into an area to visit!!
Well on anastasia you could try adding the ones you like as "favorites". A small proportion will then send you a second more personal letter. Its as good an initial selection mechanism as your going to get I guess and prevents a lot of wasted cash opening canned letters.
Was just now chatting via yahoo to a lovely lady in belarus who I was corresponding with about a year ago (alas it didn't work out for us because I was too soon out of my divorce).
Shes now about to get a visa to go live with a guy from the US who is 23 years her senior ! (shes 34). I'm absolutely convinced shes genuine too.
bassuk.....if you add a girl to your favorites on anastasia, you will get same canned first intro letter,
believe me. It is a crapshoot...I've got 4-5 that i write to( credits go fast), I have now gotton a couple of their phone numbers. I found a flower delivery company that delivers flowers and attempts to get contact info for you, forget the picture, ## more important. Now trying to figure ways of communicating away from anastasia. You can get contact info but only on phone call which is ~$40 for 10 minutes...half which would be used on intros.
The few I have chatted with do not seem fake, because they are asking me to do things that don't further business for Anastasia ( stop talking to other women and be theirs).
grapster....each girl does not give a hoot about anastasia...it is their letters from you that put money in their and agencies pockets. Try asking those same girls, lets get away from anastasia and communicate ourselves??? Those would be the ones that aren't fake!!!
I have... and they have. Some. You can't keep up with all of them, so who knows.
But I feel you are on some ludicrous witch hunt, because what you say doesn't always hold up.
You tend to rant on. Maybe it's you, not the girls. Take time out to think it over.
There are obviously people who aren't sharing your problems here.
Grape...I have no problems here...If I have something to say i will but not to convince anybody of anything. Each individual should make their own decisions on what they choose to do. I merely give my point..take it or leave.
So you say you have a 1000 women...well good for you.
I agree some are fake some are not. I don't run into many fake ones( luckily).
If you think I rant don't read my posts, apparantly some are interested based on PM messages. I am not a know it all...only someone with some experiences...first hand.
