I have seen first hand how this Anastasia works! I've been to Ukraine many times. Don't waste your money on Anastasia website! Any site that charges credits for chatting and will not allow personal information between two adults is not real. I know friends that worked in the local agencies! Electronic affection!

Ripoff pure and simple
August 17, 2017

Scam in many dimensions.

1. Deceptive user interface design, I was charged 3 times $15.99 within hours, unknowingly. I have asked the credit card company, successfully, to reverse the charges, after asking AD, unsuccessfully to return my money.

2. Aggressive pricing, you can chat or email for a couple of hours and you could end up being charged as much as I was, which, when extrapolated to a whole day would be about $100. To compare to reputable sites like match.com.or eHarmony, this is 100 times higher. So think about it.

3. Fake users. Very obviously employees or contractors, or a large percentage of female users, that spend time luring men into chats, faking interest etc., in order to entice them to spend and ramp up the company revenue.

4. Fake reviews. Again obviously so many fake reviews here, it is immoral.

I have been using AD services for few months. Can't tell if I like it better than other dating sites yet. It's promising though. Well designed site, easy payment, chat, video chat, good policy. Real girls, and very beautiful ones. Not many online dating companies pull off such clear services.

The girl your crazy about is a man
June 17, 2022

This almost ruined my life. It's nothing but men from Nigeria who set and run up your credits. I know because one let it run for so long until he finally felt bad enough to let me know. These women are not real. The cam videos are pre recorded. At least your supporting the wealth and health of rural men and their families who would elsewise have no other source of income. If your reading this your the fool that I was. There's other ways and other sites. They run sister sites as well, Asian date, African beauties. Your just one of many other old lonely men in the inbox. That's why sometimes you don't even get a response. That profile already has a main source of income established.

Hi! Thank you for your review. We're terribly sad you would think of us that way. With so many single ladies around the world it would be pointless for us to allow that sort of behaviour on our app and a violation of our rules. We implement a very strict Anti-scam policy which protects you from any misuse of our platform. Should you have any doubts about the authenticity of a profile, please report it to us at support@anastasiadate.com so we can verify it for you.

Honestly theses girls are so desperate for your cash its embarrassing, they send you long winded pre-wrote scripts as personal letters and by the time you're finished readying it you can't remember the girls name. Honestly why on earth would a stunning looking girl tell a complete stranger she loves them? Do they think life is a walt-disney film.

Connection to escort activity
December 13, 2018
Updated review

I was recently advised that multiple girls listed on the AnastasiaDate and related sites are also involved in escort activity organised through mafia links. This included working as escorts and paid travel companions in Europe and resorts, and well known places for escorts such as Monaco. Be very careful who you contact. These are not people who will genuinely care about you. Their interest is in just your wallet and bank account.

Date of experience: December 11, 2018

I have been doing a little research into the online dating business in Ukraine. Apparently, based on information available online, the people who run AnastasiaDate (and all of the sites in that group) have full knowledge of the scams run by their partner agencies and take no action. AnastasiaDate continue to purchase profiles. Rarely, if ever, are refunds given to the men defrauded and no action is taken to remove false profiles until they are publicly exposed, even when the organisation has been advised that the profiles are fake through complaints.

This information would indicate that AnastasiaDate continue to be knowingly engaged in activity that supports fraud on a massive scale. It would also appear that they make no reasonable attempt to stop it, nor do they refund most customers who are defrauded.

It seems that the only reason AnastasiaDate is interested in complaints is to: 1. Remove obvious scams outside of their normal contacts 2. Provide information to help develop internal protocols to stop the women being found out so easily. AnastasiaDate issues protocols to its contracting agencies to ensure women on the site behave in a way that will prevent potential problems and to ensure they do not give away information on their social networking profiles. It has been said that AnastasiaDate purchases profiles in the full knowledge that the profiles they buy are not genuine and the agencies they purchase them from are corrupt and fraudulent. Apparently there is no recorded instance of AnastasiaDate terminating the contract of a provider agency. Many of the agencies are small businesses that will then sell profiles they have collected to the bigger players in the market.

It also appears that many of the agencies in Ukraine have links to organised crime. Some of the funds that comes from this activity goes to Russian mafia organisations, some goes to Ukraine and Donetsk mafia figures (one of the owners of AnastasiaDate is a well known Ukraine crime figure), and some goes to funding the separatists in east Ukraine. So these agencies are in effect traitors to their own country.

On this basis it is very hard to see how AnastasiaDate can claim it provides a genuine environment for men to find a partner. By using AnastasiaDate for entertainment (as it clearly is very unlikely to help you find a wife) you are continuing to promote this activity.
AnastasiaDate appears to receive an unrealistic number of positive reviews from customers' on review sites, but there are many more genuine sounding negative reviews. They tried taking some review sites to court claiming they were using fabricated, negative testimonials but the cases were thrown out. I guess it is pretty clear why.

AnastasiaDate is one of multiple sites within the group. The partner sites for slavic countries are:
Russianbrides.com
Eurodate.com
Dating.com
Yourtravelmate.com
Yourchristiandate.com

If you communicate with any person on AnastasiaDate, then you should check other dating sites for their listings as well. Their profile is almost certain to be on multiple sites simultaneously. AnastasiaDate states that the women on their sites do not authorise listings on other sites but this appears to be untrue. Generally these listings on those other sites are apparently verified using IDs and interviews, much the same as the claims made by AnastasiaDate. I recently checked one person on AnastasiaDate and identified they had listings on multiple sites:

1.AnastasiaDate.com 2.RussianBrides.com 3.Dating.com 4.EuroDate.com 5.YourTravelMates.com 6.GoDateNow.com 7.RomanceCompass.com 8.VictoriaHearts.com 9.LoveSwans.com 10.MatchTruly.com 11.VictoriaBrides.com 12.Valentime.com 13.UkrainianCharm.com 14.NatalyDate.com 15.J4L.com 16.BravoDate.com 17.Charmerly.com

This level of activity would seem to be more about generating an income rather than finding a partner. So with AnastasiaDate, it could be said that you have an operation with a business model that is apparently designed to support fraudulent activity. It seems that their anti-scam policy and complaints area are simply there to help them to fine tune their practices so they do not get caught.

Based on the information I have been able to collect it appears that pay by letter and pay for chat sites are generally fraudulent. Many times you will not even be in contact with the person on the profile but instead dealing with a translator'. The girls or translators' are paid for each minute of chat and for each letter. They also receive benefits from gifts that are sent. Protocols are issued that give instructions on how to write letters, how to engage interest, and rules on how frequently they should respond to their contacts.

If you choose to have contact with profiles on AnastasiaDate then you need to try to verify that the person is genuine. It will cost you plenty of money and chances are the contact can always claim that there was no chemistry after a while.

Do your own research if you do not believe the information I have listed. It is not so hard. And if you have gone to the effort of earning that money in your bank account, then it seems like a waste to give it away to people who specialise in exploitation, deception, fraud and corruption.

These websites are a total scam! They just want to rip you off and take advantage of you and your feelings. They only care about the money that you pay for these "girls" which YES they do exist but, trust me they don't care about you. STAY AWAY! You can find true love with another way. Don't spend any more money to them.

Its 100% fake my profile is up as a sex trafficker and get 100s of emails a day asking me out. It cost between 4 and 10 dollars to open just 1 email you have to be stupid to do that. They automatically register you with automatic refills on credits and no way to cancel your account.

Keep out!
October 28, 2019

Yes, Anastasiadate is the same trap for dummies: fake profiles.
Well, maybe they also have real profiles, but what I saw are fake.
I will not disclose how I detected their scam because I do want them to learn from my letter and correct their errors.
You, guys and girls just be smart, observing and careful: you will crack them instantly.
Keep out of them, do not pay them a cent.

She is absolutely the sweetest person. I had a real connection with her from the first conversation and I was looking forward to getting to know her. She is downright perfect and can't wait to spend as much time with her as possible. I have tried other websites over the years and was close to giving up. I am so grateful that I stayed to meet the man I thought I would never find! Thank you very much!

I recently had the opportunity to try out Anastasiadate, and I must say that I had a positive experience overall. The website is easy to navigate and offers a wide range of features to help users connect with potential partners. One thing that impressed me was the number of verified profiles on the site, which helped to ensure that I was communicating with real people. I also appreciated the user-friendly search function, which allowed me to narrow down my matches based on my preferences.
In terms of customer support, I found Anastasiadate to be responsive and helpful. Whenever I had a question or concern, I was able to quickly get in touch with a representative who was knowledgeable and courteous.

The design of AnastasiaDate that has already been brushed upon above is fresh-looking and vibrant; there is a lot of free space, which gives you the feeling that the site is "breathing". Eye-candy photography used as the background and integrated into every page create a romantic atmosphere. The profile pictures of girls of AnastasiaDate look picture-perfect – at least so does absolute majority of them. This makes some people believe that they are fake profiles. However, members here are very much interactive, which proves that whoever it is behind the profile, they cannot get away with imposing for too long, since video chats provide the necessary validation of identity.

Blessed me
July 22, 2021

I almost gave up on the Anastasiadate because of my experience. Some of the people should have been weeded out and I received a lot of pictures of those I did not even want all my profile. I'm met her because I reached out, but it takes two. We really took the time to get to know one another we made sure that we saw each other faces so there was no hidden secrets or animosities. I have to give all the glorification to God, he blessed me.

AnastasiaDate is easy to use, I have no real complaints. Profile set up and verification process was quick! As far as mobile user experience, I would say they still need to make improvements on loading speed, but that's just me being picky. Good site to chat to beautiful ladies. There are various communication tools on the platform. One of the best tools is the "Call Me Service." Using this, members can communicate with their women over a telephone call. Even though this feature requires members to spend plenty of credits, it is still a handy feature. Almost every communication tool on the site requires the members to purchase credits. There are tools using with members can send flowers and gifts to the woman of their liking.

Anastasiadate is one of the best dating sites out there. It's a bit costly but i don't mind considering the options you get for your money. I always knew that I wanted to meet someone from a different culture, specifically Eastern Europe. I didn't think there was any hope left for me until I found out about AnastasiaDate.

Anastasiadate is a great dating site. What I liked most was being able to control what you're looking for. I could choose age, ethnicity, religion and distance specifically for me. After only a few weeks of using Anastasiadate, I found a combination that really makes me happy, so I'm done searching.

Great Website
May 28, 2021

If you want a site that allows you to meet and date Eastern European women for fun or something more serious, then AnastasiaDate should be on your radar. The site and its app provide all the features you could want for contacting singles looking to start dating in a way that is constantly innovated, even leading to wedding bells if you are persistent.

Eastern Europe is full of lovely smart girls, on Anastasiadate are lot of them at one place. Just be polite and girls 'll be nice to you. Everything in life has its own price, so and chatting with them. I met beautiful Anna when I was in Europe and we are close friends now. So try it, then you can talk about it.

Free to Join
April 5, 2021

The greatest benefit is that you can join for free. Remember, not all matchmaking services have free access. The profiles on AnastasiaDate are highly detailed so you can get all the relevant information without digging deeper. With the AnastasiaDate mobile app, you can easily and conveniently perform different operations without glitches. And the download is really quick. Even after someone has completed their profiles, they can still make edits. You do not require special permission to do so.
