After moving for work earlier this year, I lived a very lonely existence since I didn't know anyone outside of the office and didn't have a social life outside of work. I discovered Anastasia Date on the internet and decided to join. There are many beautiful women on the site.
When everything in the World is falling apart, this is the one place I go to renew my faith! Sounds bizzare, but it's true - this is the only place left (that I could find) where people have similar values to mine, and I wouldn't give it up for anything. Add to that the possibility of finding love and you have an incredible combination for my (acquired) taste.
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.
Who would've ever thought a place like this still exists on the internet? An exclusive club you actually want to be a member of? I didn't and haven't even believed my friend when he was trying to get me to sign up. I've already lost all faith I would ever talk to someone online and have a meaningfull conversation? Well, it happened and I'm never going back, only forward! Looking forward to meeting more people and sure I'll find someone for me like my friend did!
Got to love how when you forget your password they send it to you and when you try to sign in with that password it doesn't let you in

Call me an idealist, but they say that online dating is not the best option for romance, but I have to disagree. I admit that online dating is not for everyone, but it would really depend on the person. In my case, I found what I was looking for on this site. At first, I was doubtful, but the site's overall process of matching two people is just smooth and great that conversing flows easily. No stress, all fun. I have to point out something though – I'm not much of a fan of their website. It looks unreliable, but not at all. Wish there was a better design.
Well, the ladies on this site are well educated, smart, going places, and lays it all on the line. They are upfront real in every aspect of the word. I really can see myself engaging in a with several of these lovely ladies. Good, practical layout. Easy to navigate and always offering potential matches. Impressed:)Good, practical layout. Easy to navigate and always offering potential matches. Impressed :)
The dating platform happens to be one of the few sites that have flawless customer service. The Anastasiadate members are allowed to contact customer support at any time because it is available around the clock. The only thing you need to do is to wait for an answer because there are many people who have already sent their complaints.
Anastasiadate is an extremely popular dating service that has been online for almost 20 years. They have succeeded in becoming a dating service for all singles by not only offering many search tools but constantly innovating and adding new features as well.
I want to reply to that rediculous reply from the Anastasia agency. On one occasion I flew all the way from US to Czech Republic and 4 women I had arranged to meet did not show up and all the agency could say is "I don't know." Many of the women have admitted to me that they get paid to be on the Anastasia agency. Think of it why is that the only agency where gorgeous 20 year old girls write average looking 50 and 60 year old men? Why doesn't that happen on Tinder or match? There were even newspapers with advertisements for "ladies" in Odessa which stated "Meet Western men and get paid." The anastasia agency will say "we check the women." See if you can get them to admit that they do not pay the local agency who in turn pay the women. ANastasiadate will never admit that they don't pay the local agencies becuase they do. They will say some BS like they pay for translation services and "other" thongs. WHy does ANastasiaDate agency need to pay the local agencies? Why? Tinder doesn't do that. Match doesn't do that. It is an evil dynamic where Anastasia pays the "local agencies" who then pay the women from your thousands that you spend, and/or Anastasia directly pays the women from their own confessions.
Hello Tony.
Tinder doesn't do verification checks, delivery or call sessions, and many other services that we do for you. It has a completely different business model. As you know, we honor only real ladies here and if we ever come across fake and dishonest members, it gets deleted and all the credits spent - are restored back to your account. We pay local agencies for stuff we mentioned above - verification, present deliveries, helping the ladies to use our website in case of any issues and etc. However, members never get paid in any way. In case you've met any lady who breached our policies or insulted you, please do let us know. We would be glad to check this for you.
After 5 trips to Ukraine and Eastern Europe, and literally meeting and contacting hundreds of liars and scammers from this site I will warn you to keep away from this so called agency. There is a book called Online Dating, Social Media and Cybercrimes against humanity which describes the horrible experiences men have had with women in Ukraine and eastern Europe. Don't even consider joining this site until you read this book.
I thoroughly enjoyed my short time on this site, have met someone special and want to see how it goes! I am only interested in one relationship not many! For me one Lady, one man. I'm appreciate the Anastasiadate helpful and very interesting experience for me. Good luck.
It's a FRAUD! The Anastasiadate.com site is a well organized money milking machine! Please stay away! The lady profiles are fake and the pictures are stolen from social networks of real women who know nothing about it!
Some reviewers with success story and attached photos here on the Sitejabber are scam too - I have communicated with some of the ladies shown on the pictures and it's all fake! Do not trust the positive reviews at all.
I've found and proved fake profiles, but the website support did nothing: the last time, when I found a fake profile of the lady user I've exchanged communication with and spent credits on a useless communication, you did nothing to erase the fake profile. That lady is still on your website to scam the other men members! It's a shame!
This time, I'm sending you a manipulated picture - I have received the picture in a letter from this profile: ID: *******
I've spent money on a fake profile, where the communication is all produced and manipulated by a third person and not the lady herself. I bet all the photos are stolen from a real person's social media networks by your "trusted" administrators. What a scam.
A have a comparison picture of the original photo stolen from a real lady on Facebook and the manipulated photo I got in a letter from a fake profile. Attached is a proof of the manipulated photo!
STAY AWAY from Anastasiadate.com!
Hello Johnny.
We are so sorry to hear about such an experience.
Could you please tell us why would you believe so? We would appreciate it if you send all the details about this lady to us at support@anastasiadate.com, so we could check everything.
You may rest assured fake profiles are never welcomed here and we do our best to eliminate them.
I spent a little bit of money on this because I was curious. Hey beautiful women, maybe I can just go this route and skip the dating in the US and find my lifetime partner.
It became very clear very quickly that the woman I was chatting with was either not the woman in the picture or actually a guy. The verbiage definitely sounded like a guy.
When I said to her this doesn't seem real. She said why would she fake her profile? What does she have to gain?
Well, I investigated that and it's because these women / translators get paid (lots of videos on YouTube about this). That's why they keep the conversation going with you as long as possible. I found that in MOST cases, it's not the woman in the pictures you're talking to.
It's actually a translator replying as a dozen different profiles at the same time to different men. Basically like a customer service representative.
So get that. Odds are high you're not even talking to the girl and it's possibly a dude!
Also, there's a reason the site doesn't let you exchange contact information. 1. They can't milk you for ridiculous money if you get her WhatsApp account. 2. The women DON'T want to meet you. 3. They are on there to make an INCOME from stupid gullible men that think a supermodel 30 years younger wants to be with them.
They (whoever they are) are making money flirting with you on the internet that's all it is. Maybe 1% of women there somehow want a relationship but it's probably NOT with a dude 30 years older and fat as hell.
It's a really fascinating scheme.
Good day.

360 Videos feature provides an impressive real world experience that gives you insight into a member's life where they live. Phone Reservation feature allows for conversations, even with those who don't speak fluent English, as there's a translator available. CamShare feature helps to establish trust by letting you have conversations with your lady via live video.
AnastasiaDate is a decent online dating site for people looking for partners. The site is for people looking for a meaningful relationship. So, if interested in random flings and hook-ups, you should look for another platform. The site has cool features that make your dating fun, but the paid services are expensive.
Dont open email is a mass spam and the profiles is fake. Dont lost time and money. I never sighn for site like that and there use dictionary email generator for spam list
Good day.
Why would you believe so? Let me mention we do not tolerate fakes. In case any profile seems fake to you, please contact us, we will check.
I still see men are getting scammed here. Please learn from our experiences. Anastasiadate is not going to help you. They are just going to keep taking your money and blaming you for being scammed. Leave the site and never use a pay by letter site again. Me and my lady have been together five years. I met her at a site where I paid 30 bucks a month. Anastasiadate will make pay $3000. And you won't even get a phone number, a kiss... or even a handshake. I tried to use the site so many times. Every time a woman sends me a letter, I have her investigated. This woman has been at the site for years and has been married for years. I don't think her husband knows she does this stuff. Because while her social media accounts are blocked from the public. His is not. And in his profiles you can see wedding photos, pictures of them hugging and kissing. Why is SiteJabber allowing this site to continue to victimize people?
Hello Bruce.
We are so sorry to hear about such an experience.
Could you please contact us with all the details about this lady? We would be glad to check this for you, as such a behavior is never tolerated here.
Hello everyone. I was told to come here and post a review. Apparently, Anastasiadate staff have been posting at review sites like sitejabber to claim they are a legitimate. Well, they are not. My story;
I had used AnastasiaDate before in the past, several years ago, I came to Kharkov to see a lady. After months of love letters, chatting, and phone calls, I came to Ukraine to see what I thought was a lady who was interested in me. I came and met a complete stranger. Nataliya was cold, distant, and seemed like a totally different person. I was frustrated and I told her so. She said that maybe after a few visits, she could learn to like me. That of course, was not enough for me. I left the site for awhile and used other services. I came back after several months with a different strategy. I would try to talk to several different women. Maybe if I talked to three or so, I could find out which one really liked me and then find love. So after a few months, I came back to Ukraine again. I met one lady in Kharkov and two in Odessa. It was just a bigger disaster. The lady in Kharkov was nice enough, I guess. But she wanted an iPad. I left Kharkov disappointed of course. I took my hopeful expectations to Odessa, I spent a wonderful day with one lady. But she wanted me to buy her some really expensive shoes. I refused of course. We parted on good terms, but the next day the interpreter informed me that she has decided to back to her old boyfriend. Now, I am sure she never left him. I met the third lady on the last day, we had a nice brief meeting. And she did not ask me to buy anything. So we decided that we would try again on the next trip.
I should add that the ladies never really asked me for anything. She just shops and picks up different items. The interpreter asks for her. I came to Ukraine with such high hopes after spending thousands at this website. I arrived at Ukraine only to be greeted by women who seemed to be complete strangers and outrageous rates for cabs, interpretation, and other services. It was horrible.
Still not having learned my lesson, I returned again. This time I met one lady in Kharkov and returned to Odessa to see the lady from my previous meeting. But of course, I ran into the same thing. It was as if the person writing me the letters and the person I met were two different people. There was no warmth, nothing familiar. They were just professionals handling me.
A couple of months ago. I met a ballerina who lived in Kharkov. I know. I was stupid. But I sent her information to a friend of mine, I wanted to see if this was a real person. He gave me her vk profile. So I contacted her. To my surprise, I received no response at all. Her name is Nataliya Kostetskaya, profile 1696464. Her vk is https://vk.com/natik_kos.
Her twitter is https://twitter.com/NataliKosteckay
Her model account; http://podium.life/edit/personal/2494756
Instagram; https://www.instagram.com/nk_top/
Her facebook; https://www.facebook.com/natikos1207
The facebook account is important. She admits to being in an "open" relationship. I was given the photos of her with her guy. I uploaded them to this review for Anastasiadate. I think you have to scroll to the end to see them. I don't know what to say. I feel so stupid for wasting so much money on an organization that was never even a dating site.
AnastasiaDate is the same as every other expensive Ukrainian dating site in this industry. You will get dozens of beautiful women wanting to talk to you every day. But it so expensive and nothing is guaranteed. I don't think the women are very honest. I have evidence that many women there have boyfriends or are married already. AnastasiaDate claims that they have exclusive women. I asked about this policy. Of course, they do not. You can find many women at their website at other places. When I tried to show the customer service agent this, he pretended not to understand me.
Well, there is a happy ending. I did find a Ukrainian woman. We will be married next year. After recovering from the lies and deception at Anastasiadate, I used a few other sites that were very cheap. I found a group on vk that helped me. They made recommendations and I found someone special.
I hope all of you men find a way around the scam industry. It is huge. You can write me messages here if you want. I don't know much, but I can point you in the right direction.
I have hope that I can find someone again. Anastasiadate is such a bad place. They should ashamed of themselves misleading men and charging so much money. Their customer service is so bad and they services are questionable at best. I have downloaded ads from the internet that show they are paying women in Ukraine to talk to men. None of the women I dated were attracted to me in person. They only seemed attracted to me in chat or in email.
Is my review visible?
Complained that the letters I received from 2 different ladies were the same and clearly were copied and not the ladies own thoughts, so asked for a refund for opening the letters and was told that they were different and sometimes certain words come out the same when the ladies use a translation app. But aren't the letters translated by paid translators? You people tell me if these letters are the same or different.
Hello there!
Apparently, there was some misunderstanding in the correspondence. You are correct, the letters are being translated by professional translators, they may just use the same wordings and constructions. However, the letters shouldn't be the same, this could be a result of a minor mailing glitch - please tell us the details about that, so we could help.
I always wanted to have a girlfriend, but unfortunately, I didn't have an opportunity to dedicate time to datings. Of course, everybody in our world wants to be loved, so do I. I started to think that I would live the whole life lonely and this idea disgusted me a lot. Moreover, I felt like nobody likes me. Fortunately, I faced this service which offers online datings. I asked couple of questions customer support and they explained me how does the wbesite works. Couple of days ago I met a girl and now we're friends. I wish I would be decisive and everything will be great.
Anastasiadate has a great platform with a clean design that makes it really easy to use. The dating service has made it really easy to start a profile, meet other users, and cast a wide net for potential matches. Creating a profile is relatively easy, especially if you have a Google or Facebook account already.
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.
AnastasiaDate continually strives to develop innovative communication technologies that inspire global connections and facilitate modern love in the modern world.
