Imagine that you walk into a restaurant anywhere here in the US, it looks good from the outside, on entering you are made to feel welcome, you sit down, look through the items on the menu and order what is seemingly described as delicious food. The food arrives, you begin to taste, it is not freshly cooked, it is not the quality you expected. In fact it is all a fake! Your first thought is to send the food back to the kitchen, bring me something that tastes like it should. Sorry, didn't you fully read the menu that describes the terms and conditions? The restaurant never claims to offer original daily fresh cooked food, we offer only what our suppliers can deliver that day. Refund of your money? No, certainly not, the menu is quite clear and if you do not agree to all that is written on the menu by the owner then you must leave the restaurant, if you decide to stay then you are deemed to accept the menu as described and accept what is delivered to your table.
There are no guarantees or warranties whatsoever from owners of US registered websites in the highly unregulated business of dating and marriage agencies. This is a huge multi-million dollar industry where HRB and it's sister websites merely 'host' the product delivered by local Ukrainians and other East European affiliate agencies who are busy in the business of co-ordinating all the photography, the hiring of studios, hair-stylists. Make-up artists, language interpreters, models and model agencies. These affiliates, marriage and dating agency websites all earn a slice of the multi-millions of dollars each year, all paid for in full by monthly subscriptions from thousands of men who sign up to a service that initially delivers hundreds of inviting 'template' letters from 'photoshop' profiles to their inbox each day, and then sucks in their hard earned dollars faster than a vacuum cleaner when men write letters, purchase expensive credits for chat and 'pre-recorded' video with different 'women' (affiliates and interpreters) whose only interest is to earn money.
You may be lucky to find a 'gem' amongst them, but quite frankly the odds are stacked against anyone being successful.

Jump4love use local 'affiliate' agents in Ukraine, these local affiliate agents quickly realised from the outset that the more women they 'signed up' to have in a database, and the more letters and chats they send, the more money they can make. They use the latest technology available to focus toward earning a huge amount of Dollars from a never ending source of 'clients' from USA.

Young women who seek a partner abroad have no desire to sit at the computer for eight hours a day typing letters to men, many of whom they dont even like. So, the local agents in Ukraine and former USSR began hiring translators who would communicate with the men, regardless of whether girls liked them or not.

With the political anarchy in Ukraine in recent years, there is almost no control over so called marriage or dating agencies. Whether the girl in the photos had any desire to marry someone from overseas became superfluous. The local affiliate agents decided it was easier for them to get 20% from 100 people than to get 100% from 20 people. They started paying percentages from their profits to models (pretty girls who pose for a professional photoshoot in s studio setting) and the translators (people who type their letters).

There are hundreds of foreign 'Affiliates' out there, one particular source is a company based in Cherkassy, Ukraine who launched an updated website in 2015 named 'admin panel' http://www.adminpanel.com.ua
It enables appointed 'affiliates' throughout Ukraine the opportunity to open their own profitable business. They are able to access the current 12 or more online marriage and dating agencies. Jump4love is featured as well as A Foreign Affair (loveme.com) Romance compass, Foreignladies, Hanuma, CharmDate, Zolushka, AnastasiaDate (Svadba), Find-Bride, Bridge of Love, Dream-Marriage and Dreamonelove.

Always remember, that in general corruption in countries such as Ukraine and Russia happens on a daily routine. Jump4love has no control over it. Hence why their terms and conditions will protect their directors, employees and affiliates, for any of the 'services' provided by their foreign affiliate agencies.

If you use the service, you will be entertained but in the process you will always lose A TRUCK LOAD OF DOLLARS.

The 'Pay Per Letter' structure depends to a varying degree on the local agents reputation when recruiting new women in their home countries. These local agents 'check' women's documents, hire a photographer to take photos of her, translate her questionnaire profile to English and upload it to the "mother" site. The local agent has access to the woman's profile on the site, through an admin panel such as for example http://www.adminpanel.com.ua
And thereafter has the ability to alter, delete, or operate it.

Profits from the Pay Per Letter sites (letters, chats, video chats, gifts) are shared:
Firstly the 'mother' site (the one you usually see in Google's search results in a "sponsored" listing) gets about 50%. Then the local agent gets the remaining 50%.

The local agents quickly realised that the more women they 'signed up' to have in a database, and the more letters and chats they send, the more money they can make.

Women who seek a partner abroad have no desire to sit at the computer for eight hours a day typing letters to men, many of whom they don't even like. So, the local agents in Ukraine and former USSR began hiring translators who would communicate with the men, regardless of whether girls liked them or not.

With the political anarchy in Ukraine in recent years, there is almost no control over so called "marriage agencies". Whether the girl in the photos had any desire to marry someone from overseas became superfluous. The local agents decided it was easier for them to get 20% from 100 people than to get 100% from 20 people. They started paying percentages from their profits to "models" (pretty girls who pose for photos) and the "translators" (people who type their letters).

What you are seeing here is one of Ukraine's biggest exports worth multi-millions of dollars. The really clever bit is that the 'importer' pays the 'exporter' and rarely receives the goods!

The 'models' are paid about 10% of what their profile earns, and are also allowed to keep gifts. Translators are assigned 1-2 girls' profiles, and earn about 10-25% from what the profile earns (depending on the generosity of the agency owner), and also a small commission on gifts sent to "their girl".

Models are not required to ever meet suitors in person. Their job may be finished after the initial photo session, or they can, if they desire, attend meetings with their online suitors when they visit Ukraine and enjoy free meals and ask for more gifts, which they are allowed to keep.

In the beginning, when the men sign up, they begin receiving sweet love stories and confession letters from girls 20-30 years younger than them and don't think that paying $5 to $10 per letter is a big deal. That is of course until their letter writing, chat and video expenditure extends into thousands of hard earned dollars.

The majority of Pay Per Letter sites (letters, chats, video chats, gifts) are scams, if you are looking for a life partner you stand to lose thousands of your hard earned dollars! If you choose to use such sites purely as a social media activity and have some fun, then that is your choice.

Russian Brides offers mutually beneficial cooperation
Girls from Lugansk and Donetsk, as well as other regions.

The essence of the work lies in companionship with foreigners.

Unlike competing agencies that collaborate with several dating sites,
Our partner sites only one - www.svadba.com (AnastasiaDate).

Naturally, the first and the main functions of this website is to find a husband.
This makes sense on the basis of the name "marriage agency."

But, generally, we are looking only women.

What does the camera?
A man will see you in a small window (approximately 4 to 5 cm)
As proof that there really is you. The man can not hear you.
You can communicate simultaneously with several men at the same time,
For each dialogue you are gaining bonuses separately.

The schedule is flexible, ie, You decide when and how long to stay or leave the chat.
For the Lugansk office and / or home is also optional. The office is open 20 hours a day, 6 days a week,
Do you have are always welcome! Do not forget that income depends on the time you spend chatting for communication. The more time - the more money.

Our agency is the lead partner sites in Lugansk, Ukraine and the second,
So we activists - all of our girls have the opportunity to participate in contests and share of the site.
It should also be noted that all the girls of our agencies receive loyalty card "Anastasia".

With the news site can be found here: http://www.svadba.com/news/
On the map of loyalty and promotions / discounts across Ukraine: http://www.svadba.com/club

In short, anyone who has paid by card or paypal online to chat or use video socially from 2012 onwards will have lost an awful lot of money, full stop. It is entirely your choice whether to continue supporting an organization like this for purely entertainment value or dumping them completely.
