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!
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.
The only people writing good reviews have NEVER meet one these women in real life as they dont exist! Trust me I have been to Ukraine 6 times and no every single they pull. Good luck if you think "your girl" is different.she's not! Just a good con artist!
Dear Marc,
We are sorry to hear you feel that way.
Could you please clarify, which lady made you feel it that way about our platform? We allow only real people to be here, that is why your feedback is so valuable.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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!
Thank you for your kind feedback. It is a pleasure for us to make your every day on our site!
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.
Thank you for your kind feedback. It is a pleasure for us to make your every day on our site!
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.
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.
Thank you for your kind feedback. It is a pleasure for us to make your every day on our site!
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.
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.
Answer: Sean, I'm very sad to hear that you have been yet another scam victim of AnastasiaDate. They definitely have interesting people on there... but this is what you need to know: 1. You are NOT talking to the girl in the picture. You are talking to a translator (probably a guy) who is talking on behalf of the girl. 2. The translators are being paid to keep you online - on their site - and give you as little information as possible to allow you to get off the site. After a month, if you are still using the site, you are the victim. Read the reviews that are all 1-star of this service, and remember that the 5-star reviews here are almost all paid reviewers for AnastasiaDate.
Answer: The odds are stacked against you on Anastasiadate because it works on a scam-based "business" model. It's a chat-oriented site, it pays comission to local affiliates, so it attracts many scammers, both women and men who want to suck in your hard earned money. The woman (or whoever it is you are chatting with) is paid by the local affiliates. If you really pursue a serious relationship, you should join a meeting-oriented site, i. E. http://j4love.net They also have chat and video chat but they operate on a different model and therefore their girls are more serious about the meeting. When I was in Ukraine I signed up there and met two women. It didn't take me long to find the women who were willing to meet which was a big surprise for me as I got used to all kinds of excuses of Anastasiadate's girls as to why they were not able to meet me next month. Now I understand the real reason.
Answer: As far as I am aware this is a site with women's profiles aimed at attracting men only. From experience I can tell you that most of the profiles either are not who they are posing to be [e.g. Are using model's photos etc] or have not the slightest intention of a hook up. That is to say they will keep you endlessly writing revenue earning messages but if you try to arrange a meeting they will disappear. This is also the case with the sister site Amolatina and LatamDate. Be warned and be prepared to totally waste your money.
Answer: Knil, Good that you are thinking of marriage. Speaking from my own experience with Anastasia Scam, the ladies I met lived in a fantasy world. As long as you shower them with the good stuff, they will play along. But when the music stops, these same ladies will abandon ship. Marriage is a covenant between a man and a woman for better and for worse. The Anastasia Scam ladies forgot the covenant part and the for worse part. So, if I were you, I will NOT even consider Anastasia Date scam. You want a real relationship built on honesty and love. Anastasia Date scam is NOT based on honesty and principle. I say these things to you because I went over there and spent time with the ladies and I observe. You observe and you need to read and interpret body language. A scammer can hide their true intentions but their subconscious actions reveal the true picture! Anways, I wish you all success with your future and your love life. Life is too short to spend it on the wrong person and for the wrong reasons. Regards,
Answer: The girls don't write to men, agencies do, pretending to be the girls, with the girls having nothing to do with the letters at all.
Answer: Spot on, ADate is a con. I wrote to girls over a period of months sorry to say, and sadly the alarm bells never rang when certain girls would be there 24/7 - couldn't answer questions about their professions or explain why they weren't at work, had short term memory loss (couldn't remember anything about me) and whoever I was speaking too had never seen a letter. It is simply organised crime.
Answer: Hello but I am going to repeat the response what Stephen said earlier but I am going to be fair with the statistics: I would say 99.9% of the women on anastasiadate either get paid by an agency to chat with men or they are scammers out to make money and not looking for a real relationship. Any positive reviews for this site are almost certainly generated by the lowlife people who are behind this dodgy dating site. I dated a lady from this scam site for TWO years. Her name is Daria (Member ID: 1701750). She lied and told me that she was registered only with Anastasia Scam but later I found out that she was registered with other agencies. She told me that I was the one for her but I also found out that was her story to the other men she was scamming also from the other agencies. If we all stand united and refrain from using this scam site, Anastasia Scam will be out of business and you all will be a lot richer and happier...
Answer: I don't have the statistics, but I am out of there! I saw real and sincere woman through the cameras, and also met some of them there. They are real (don't think all of them obviously). But I am out. It is very difficult to establish communication with them specially when most of them don't even try to learn English!
Answer: If you still do not believe Julian that this site is a scam this is her profile on VK: http://vk.com/id68827266 Register on this site, send her a massage and you will see whether she would like to keep in touch with you. I bet she wouldn’t.
Answer: Brian, I've seen your ads on here - looked at these reviews occasionally for about 3 years now because I was dating someone (off and on) I met on Anastasia. They must have hired real Americans to write their planted reviews since the last time I was here because many of them actually look like they weren't written by someone who grew up speaking Russian! Anyway, I can't seem to find the job title of these, er... ladies? I wanted to search on google.ru and thought it was "work bride" but that's not it. Could you help me? So what's my opinion of the Anastasia site and the ladies on there? $650 spent. Never met a lady who didn't keep coming back to me no matter what I told them (yes, I tested) of the 2 dozen or so I chatted with - even when confronted with evidence of their fraud. Sent gifts, made phone calls but only 1 actually gave me her VK contact info - all others refused. I contacted her and we talked often in the following 90 days or so until I told her the house I was buying (and she helped me choose) may cost more than expected and delay my visit to meet her - then she either deleted her VK account or blocked me because I couldn't find her on there. She never asked me for anything to this time except to visit her so she could be my bride. About 6 months later she friended me on facebook using a different name and sent me about 5 texts in the next 2 months slowly telling me she was in hospital for weeks and when I showed concern she wouldn't say why she was there, her final message being "Oh it nothing. I better now" then nothing for 18 months. She contacted me again in August and a month later I bought a ticket for Ukraine and booked a room but when I denied her 2 request for money - first for medicine because somehow the coughing she was doing on a Viber phone call turned into a trip to the hospital and the doctor diagnosed it as her spine and she needed money for medicine. Huh!?! Phone calls tapered of but still came. Ditto with texts. 2 weeks later she needed money because she was evicted and needs a place to stay. Told her my money was needed for the visit and I wouldn't send. Now she won't call or answer mine. Texts very sporadic. So I friended her friend's friend's friends on facebook and started finding real Russian and Ukrainians with no touched-up professional photos and not a fraud warning flag has sprung up chatting to them. And the girl I was dating. Well, she spent hours and hours for 2.5 years but never got a penny she asked for - all she got by my best estimates was a birthday gift and whatever she got from the few texts. Letters and calls we made on Anastasia that made a total of around $65 or so it was worth it because I liked to make her squirm when she lied to me. The site's a fraud. Stay away from it. I reported them to BBB and every time they replied I went back to their site to complain because they would remind me of another issue. They wouldn't answer so I'd report them to the BBB for failing to address that issue then their reply brought up more and I'd file another BBB complaint. Was marked as resolved only because I finally gave up - they didn't address the issues brought up in the BBB complaints but instead attacked me and my character. They even said they saw that I was having problems with one of the ladies (damn straight I was - she asked me to send a Valentine gift and they aren't allowed to do that and I found photos on her VK account of her spending Valentine's day with her real, Ukrainian boyfriend) and when I asked why they're reading private correspondences I was told to report the girl for fraud and the following morning I found out my account was closed and they refused to refund my unused credits.
