Interesting post. You've pretty much pegged anascamyaweb I too use it with the same policy of not opening intro letters. They do let you send your phone number. I have a Ukraine mobile phone which is a great investment even if you're only going to be there a couple weeks. Send one letter with your mobile number plus one or two translator friends and tell them to call or text message. I had about three responses from eight or nine letters so it wasn't too bad. Brought one to Sevastopol, but as you referenced she was just "looking for someone to take them out of town" Watch-out for the Nikolaev girls on this site. Currently a blonde with boobs just from Nikolaev just posted with the statement saying she prefered older men, a sure red flag. I can't believe the staff here let's the Nikolaev office get by with the BS they pull.
Olga,
As Apollo 13 famously said, 'we have a problem here':
From the lady in red that Buffed refers to copy & paste from her profile the following and do a google search for it, the precise wording of the following copy & paste can be found here http://www.womenrussia.com/blackpage428.htm and that's just the start, I didn't check the other google results and the same precise wordings come from a lady in Ukraine and a lady in Russia, supposedly.
Copy & paste:
I already adult woman, and I want to have my own family in the future. I want to love and to be loved. People without love cannot be happy. But when near there is a close person whom you love, life becomes fine irrespective of where you live and what you have.
Hey Buffed,
See what you mean about boobs, yikes, could take an eye out with one of those :))
Hi again Olga,
Seeing as you have removed the lady in red and spoilt our fun here's another one for you from your Nikolaev stable:
On fiance.com she is Irina Alekseenko, 20 years old, born 10/21/1985, 121lbs, with an English level of 10 and she has agency email.
But on http://www.ukrainelovers.com/profiles/detail/id/18 she is Alyona, 21 years old, has lost some weight weighing in at 110lbs, she speaks only medium English and she is a pisces which means she wasn't born on 10/21/1985.
This forum is so funny! But it is full of great info. And they are right about free sites like yahoo. Some girl contacted me there and she told me she is from Russia. It was a scam of course, but boy was she hot. LOL, did a google search once she wanted me to send money to here travel agent. Here is the info. http://www.agencyscams.com/Girls/AlexandrDomrachev.htm
The letter was almost the exact same that she sent me.LOL
Thanks for the offer to look into it but wouldn't do any good. At this point I've let my membership expire. Nothing against fiance.com in particular, it's just the nature of the industry and I understand that if you don't take a Helen Keller approach to the dirty work done by the affiliates you'd never make any money. I may re-join when I get to Ukraine.
Olga, as I wrote earlier: when I send two emails to Nikolaev girls at about 11:30pm Ukraine time on a Sunday night and the both write back an hour later with lengthy gibberish that was obviously copied from some dramatic literature your affiliate is obviously a scumbag writing fake letters. Of course neither of the two I was writing could come-up with a phone number after a month of asking.
(In case you aren't aware, Helen Keller is deaf, dumb, and blind).
Hello again Nadya & Olga,
And another one from your Nikolaev stable for you:
On fiance.com Natalia Revorenko has exactly the same hobbies, says exactly the same about herself and searches for exactly the same as a lady named Mar'yana who can be found here http://www.army-of-brides.com/lady/18501.html
Hey,
This is like shooting coconuts at a fairground, what is it about 21st October birthdays in Nikolaev?
On fiance.com Viktoria Khomenko is 19 y/o born on 10/21/1986 but on http://www.ukrainelovers.com/profiles/detail/id/86 she is 18 y/o and a Virgo which ain't October.
Has somebody in the Nikolaev agency got a birthday on 21st October thus they keep listing girls with the same, that's 2 out of 3 questionable profiles with the same birthday one year apart and this one, an 18/19 y/o searching until 42/50 y/o!
Thank you for this much valuable information. This agency will be removed from our website and all profiles that were from this agency will be removed as well.
And I would hasten to add that of the Nikolaev profiles that I did searches on the same profiles kept popping up on anastasiaweb also which I believe says all that needs to be said, anastasiaweb utilises corrupt agencies which has been speculated upon many a time.
Can you help me out? I just started writing a Nikolaev blonde on Anastasia named Marina ID # 78667. She strikes me as legit. Is she on your blacklist? I'll keep a closer eye on Anastasia, I guess.
Buffed,
Thanks for the Nikolaev women tip. She's gone from this site, so maybe you guys saved me some aggravation. Thanks, Gentlmen!
The cell phone in Europe is a great idea, and I have used it. However, I do not believe Anastasia will let me email the women my telephone number here in the U.S. They want to keep that revenue stream to themselves. Am I wrong?
I am writing a woman in Sevastopol, where you have been. Was it easy to get to?
Philly,
Well I just did a quick search, it seems your lady is listed on about 3 dating sites but that's not a red flag, guys do the same and some agencies steal profiles from others.
If you have her email address, her telephone number, her home address, her full name then do a google search on these.
Apart from the fact that she is 22 and attractive and looking for a guy until 45 and she is on anastasiaweb there are no real red flags that google has revealed, she's also on www.loveme.com
Philly,
Where is easy to get to in Ukraine, well here is a list (link below) of Ukrainian airports and you can check flights online from/to Kiev, try to travel from Kiev Borispol (KBP) though. For Sevastopol the airport is Simferopol and one can travel internationally directly into Dmepropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kharkov, Lviv, Odessa & Simferopol without going via Kiev or Moscow.

P.S. I use ukrainefare all the time, for the USD15 charge they are always there to meet me at KBP airport with my tickets, excellent service.
we've investigated the agency which posted above mentioned profiles. the agency manager provided scanned copies of passports of these 3 ladies. all data including birhtdays does correspond with what is posted at fiance.com.
as to //www.ukrainelovers.com the agency manager says that his dating agency has nothing to do with this website. he has no idea how those profiles got posted there and why the information is not correct there.
as we received enough proof these profiles will stay posted. if anybody have questions don't hesitate to ask.
Hi Nadya,
You refer to 3 ladies but there were 4 ladies with dodgy profiles, I presume the 4th being the lady in red with big boobies who was registered on fiance.com as recently as last week but her exact profile, word for word, was blacklisted during December 2005 and that profile was of a totally different lady from Russia and not from Nikolaev, Ukraine.
It just so happens I've been to Sevastopol twice so I'll do the best I can to help. I spent eight weeks there last summer and almost bought a flat. In relation to your other question, yes anascamyaweb will let you send your phone number which I did with some success. I think I sent it to about nine women and had about three or four responses including one that came to Sevastopol (at my expense).
I think the best way to use anascamyaweb is to be in Ukraine (or russia, etc..) and send one letter with you number, telling them not to write, just call if they want to meet. As far as Sevastopol ladies are concerned: since the Crimea region is beautiful with a nice climate, it is over-run with Westerners. It's probably one of the weakest areas in Ukraine in terms of of local talent. However, the ladies are always quite eager to come and see you from other regions which can be a double edge sword. I can give you more info and contacts if you're interested. I hit every agency there at least twice during my last stay.
