Hi Happy People:-)
I have a simple question for CD's users. I am aware of this expensive and useless game and I take it just like a game. I bought some credits just for my curiosity. Let's not consider the usual and clear amazing beautiful scammers, who contact you first, are always online, make crazy blablabla about love at the first sight and so on... we all know that:-) but I have chosen two "quiet" profiles and sent my first emails. The first never replied. The second has a "strange" behaviour and I'm not sure about his/her nature:-D found "her" online ready to chat only twice in a month, one by chance during our working pause; the second after a night appointment; "she" takes days and days to reply my letters; in her replies "she" remembers tiny details about my words. Is it possible that true profiles are mixed with the tricky ones? Is there a possibility over a million that I am corresponding with a "real" girl? I start having some doubts... thank you in advance for you opinion;-)
I have been on this site for more than a year and in that time I have spoken to a number of woman. It became apparent to me that one of the women that I was taking to was not who she claimed to be. So I did a simple image search using some of her pictures and google. It turned out that the pictures were of a minor Russian TV star and so I made the site aware of this fact, but they simply made excuses. So I did a little more research and quickly identified another 8 women, that were clearly scam artists, in spite of the fact that website claimed to have confirmed there identities.
To illustrate my point, just before I came on to this site, I checked pictures from 3 women on Charmingdate.com at random and one was easily identified as a scrammer. Maria (Profile ID: C*******) is actually Charlotte Springer a British Glamour Model.
My recommendation is simple 'STAY WELL CLEAR' and spend your money elsewhere.
Yes, this site costs money to communicate with the ladies...what did you expect from a Chinese-run company? This is not like some eHarmony/Plenty of Fish scam, where they lie about using some algorithm to pair you with the perfect match. You ACTUALLY have to get to know your lady, and that takes communication.Once the six-month trial period has ended, you are able to request contact info for your lady (full name, address, phone number, email address) and you can free yourself of the burden of CharmDate's outrageous costs. You don't need to spend $399 for a boatload of credits, unless you plan on emailing several times a week, chatting for several hours at a time, and using the call service.
As for the latter, I would advise against using their system for phone calls, as you can use up your credits very quickly...this is how CharmDate (run by Qpid Dating, a China-based company) really makes their money. Be smart, use your head (not the "other" one!) and you just might find true love...and it won't cost you an arm and a leg!
Because of Charmingdate.com I am now engaged! I met my now Fiancée Kristina in Düsseldorf when she flew from Södertälje to come meet me, we had been speaking online for a few months and after really connecting on a personal level we met each other. We started the whole “long distance” relationship for a while but after about 6 months we moved in together in a nice area near Landskrona. I would highly recommend this site to anyone looking for love and wanting a new cultural experience.
I can fell that the ladies I’m talking with have true intentions and that their soul and that they are not out to make me waste my time and money on this site.
This site is perhaps the best dating site I have been using dating sites from past 2 years almost just to find right girl LMAO, because no one knows our feeling except these site but there are many scams I have found but finally got the right site to find my love and I will be finding it asap. Ill rate it 4 stars just because of the QPCreadit because it sucks man. Otherwise the best dating site and I love it.
You will not meet anyone wake up it's actual cost is $42.00 USD per hour it's a scam
Read the T& C' YOU CAN NOT MAKE DIRECT CONTACT WITH ANY ONE!
ISN'T THAT THE WHOLE POINT OF BEING ON A DATING WEB SITE
PULL UP YOUR STUMPS TAKE YOUR BAT & BALL & POQ if it's to good to be true, then it's a scam thankfully dogged a bullet on this one
By the time u actually talk to someone u'll be out couple K short in your account. And the cherry on top is a fat $#*! chick that u were talking to all the time.
In reality there are hundreds of lovely looking ladies all apparently looking for Mr Right?. You read that men from the Ukraine treat women with a lack of respect and that due to a shortage of realible men ladies from the Ukraine are now looking to the West to find their ideal man?
All good you may say?. Add the fact that ladies who are quite often 20 years younger than you give the impression that they view age as a number only?
The truth is you can contact these lovely ladies and have some nice chats, you may even believe that they are really interested in meeting you?
Here is the twist... you have already spend a reasonable amount of money before its fairly obvious that you will never exchange phone numbers, email addresses and you will never ever meet in person?
Sorry but that's fact... do yourself a favour enjoy the fantasy, we all sometimes need that, but don't get financially sucked in?
Someone somewhere is making a huge amount of money out of you... don't let that stupidity continue?
Charm date is a total scam. The chats, the letters, the phone calls. All of it. Run by Russian mob criminals and employs scammers to run all aspects of the business. Do not waste your time or money.
Just joined CharmDate.com for the first time. I had been in a relationship with a Russian girl. I already like what I see. I am hoping there are good things ahead.
I found this website by chance but it is the best thing I have done. I have found friends and potentially more. The future is exciting and full of promise. I really think this is a great site.
The service price is not that low, you guys should think twice before placing your first order as the women are soooooo cute that you cant stop thinking of her.
Charmdate is a very nice site. It has hundreds of beautiful women who are eager to meet men.
I wonder sometimes how many are real since many reply about your profile that does not have any of what they say in it. Many will state they are in USA only to find it is not true.
When your new on the site you will spend a few $100 dollars or more and possibly $1000's to send messages or chat. Before you realize that you cannot exchange telephone numbers, email addresses, text etc. The telephone calls that you think you maybe able to do it, forget it the quality of the voice and connection is horrible and broken. To obtain the contact info of a lady you must send her at least 10 messages and then pay approx another $300 -$400 in credits to have the site give you the contact info and only if the lady approves it. Now remember this is a business and the sincerity of the ladies maybe questionable since the site lets the communicate for free and the ladies are paid to generate men purchasing credits.
The site is run like a Communist Country all communications are reviewed and sensored prior to the lady or yourself receiving any communications. You may also wonder how a lady with only high school education or only 20 years old is a Doctor or Lawyer. Most all pictures are Photo shopped but some are not. Good luck.
Once I signed up this site, I met the matching questions and then i get some girls who suit my requires. I didn't try all services, but i as what i used is not bad at all. I hope i can find someone.
I recently visited Kiev to meet one of the women on Charm Date. We had been chatting/exchanging letters/talking on the phone for just about two months. I decided to go over to the Ukraine and meet her. It cost 139.00usd just to set up this cupid date. It was to include a date with the woman and an 1 1/2 hour with an interpreter. I didn't know why we needed an interpreter because she spoke good English on the phone. So the day of the date came and I went to the restaurant. My date was waiting with the interpreter. Much to my surprise my date all of a sudden didn't speak any English. As well she smoked but on her profile it said she was a non-smoker. So then the interpreter says you owe me 30.00usd for an hour. The going rate for an interpreter in the Ukraine is 10.00-12.00usd an hour. When I questioned her that the agency told me the 139.00 fee included an 1 1/2 hour she called me cheap and very rude. I laughed at the whole thing, got up and left not paying the interpreter a dime. I waited outside of the restaurant for about fifteen minutes to gather myself and process what had just happened. Next thing I know, there was my so called date holding hands with another man which I found out later was her boyfriend! Stay away from the on line dating sites and find an agency to meet real women!
DO NOT USE THIS SITE, The women are not REAL, they just want your MONEY,
It is a SCAM NO CUSTOMER SERVICE ITS ALL ABOUT GETTING THE MONEY.
The rules are you need 10 correspondence to inquire to get a ladies phone number? Or email? And this is not promised. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE LADIES ARE IN ON THE SCAM AS THESE LADIES ARE OTHER SITES DREAM MARRIAGE, ANASTASIA etc... these LADIES ARE MAKING A NICE LIVING ON THESE SITES!
The number of genuine women on this site are in the minority.
In over two years, and after spending a couple of thousand dollars, I have not succeeded in successfully exchanging details with a single lady. There are ALWAYS problems at the last hurdle. Either the phone doesn't work, the internet is broken, she has to visit her auntie... you name it.
It has its fair share of scam artists. One woman claimed to be a dermotologist. I knew more about the subject than she did. Another claimed to be a cosmetologist and was a bit evasive when I asked her where she worked. When she told me, I checked out the place. They had never heard of her.
Two ladies have refused accept my FB friend requests because they prefer to communicate through the web site where you have to pay for everything.
One more thing. Why DOES it take the agency up to 2 days to 'process' some letters? What exactly are they 'processing'?
So, I have learnt how to sort the chaff from the wheat.
(1) Insist on setting an early date for a meeting. Avoid those who won't commit
(2) Avoid those with erotic/revealing pictures
(3) Avoid those who start to 'darling' you after the first letter
(4) Avoid those who keep changing the subject just to keep you talking
(5) Avoid age inappropriate women
(6) Avoid those who are on-line at all hours of the day
Make no mistake. These women get paid, maybe not DIRECTLY by Charmdate but certainly through the agencies.
Good hunting and mind your back!
I think your app is not good to use, have signed into a few times and on ipad there no landscape mode, so is narrow to look at and difficult to operate, and a lot of scrolling to find what i wanted.
I really liked this site, didn't notice that girls are scam agents who write you fake letters like someone wrote in previous review, some of the letters were very deep, precise in their details and sincere. I could see authencity in them. Now about exchanging contact information, there is no way you can do it in the letters but it's possible to request information from the lady after few months of correspondence with her. It's not cheap but really worth it as there are many quality women on this site. The lady I have been communicating didnt disappear and we continue our communication in private settings. It took me a long time to request her information but I don't regret it. Someone wrote that ladies lose interest when you finally get their contact info, but I just think it can happen to anyone, on any dating site. Not easy to sustain long distance relationship without a real meeting. Its possible to meet real & serious people on this site. Just avoid ladies who show signs of "scam" - ignore your questions and don't discuss possibility of real meeting and communication. Most of the women on this site are very real and they are the ones who are behind the profiles and communicating with you. There are several scammers as well, mostly young girls sending very seductive sex offers in the chat. Many women can speak English without translator and are very educated. If you have doubts in your lady the best way to clear them is to meet her. Ukrainians do not need visa to travel to Europe anymore so it's more easy to organize meeting.
Answer: My verdict after a year of using Charmdate: it's total fraud! I had been in a close contact with many girls for a year until I finally left the site. Now I'm convinced that pretty much all of them were scammers. I had not met any of them! All of them suddenly came up with some kind of excuse in the last minute as to why they couldn't have a real meeting with me. Bullsh*t! It can't be a coincidence when I had 4 dates on http://j4Iove.com After using it for 3 months only. Can you explain the difference? There is just one realistic explanation: Charmdate women were fakes and scammers.
Answer: The question "Can I trust the site" is easy. The answer is no. The real question is "can I trust the girl" and that is harder to answer since there are some real women on the site. Here are some things to consider. Many men have signed up for tours or independent visits to meet a girl only to have the site call at the last moment and tell them they either have found someone else or decided they were not interested. By that time they already have their ticket and "tour" booked and paid for. We don't know if your girl is real or not and you might find yourself a "victim" of their fraud. Before you trust her, you need to be able to separate her from the site and confirm the relationship independent of the agency. There are ways of doing this. Ask her to send pictures that she has posted on her private web sites. Google them and make direct contact. I googled any picture of wome writing to me. Many were on VK.com, the equivalent of facebook. So I set up an account there and contacted the ladies. Most immediately blocked me. One who did not simply told me she would ONLY correspond with me on Charming date. You can also try to find a way to give her your phone number and ask her to call you collect. Most of the time your letters will be edited to prevent such information so you'd have to be creative. Tell her about a 2025 mile trip you took and fill out the rest of the telephone number with number of gas station stops meals eaten, people visited, etc etc. If you really want to you can call her, assuming you are actually talking to her and not a fake agent. Find out where she works. Call there and get her direct number. Try anything. But so long as you are only writing emails, you should assume little correspondence between the profile and the emails you are getting. Odds are if you are corresponding with a real woman, much of your correspondence has been "enhanced" or even written by the agency and you will have to start over getting to know her. Independent studies indicate that you have a higher chance of marrying a translator for the agency than you do of marrying the girl to whom you thought you were writing.
Answer: Do they get paid? Not in a conventional way set up in a western society. Charming Date, gets its women from "affiliates" in Ukraine. These "dating groups" go out and advertise for women, who are seeking western men. The site pays the "affiliates" money for each women's profile they get to use the site. I CANNOT definitely say that the affiliate groups are set up to pay the women. They feed them a lot of bullshit about how easy it is to marry a western man. In Ukraine, the average salary is about 200 bucks a month. A lot of these women love that country, but want a better life. The dating sites know this and use this as their leverage to get women to sign up. They really BELIEVE that someone is going to marry them. That is their dream and the dating sites tell them that the dream will never be realized if they are not exposed to a society (western) that can give them a better life. Not all of those women are scammer's. You have groups within the affiliated dating service group, that is filled with nothing but scammers. I am SURE that the leader of these groups ASK to be paid for each women they get to sign up.If they DO pay a woman, she is not getting hardly anything at all. A Ukrainian woman is not going to get rich advertising herself online at different dating sites. I would say she is lucky if she even gets 10% of a reply. And then that is eaten up by all the photo-shopping that is done to make them look more beautiful. She is stuck, she does not realize how hard it is to get her out of the Ukraine because the dating site will not ever tell her of the VISA restrictions that are attached to Ukrainian citizens when it comes to visiting the West. But the dating site is her only hope., so she stays with it not because of the little she may be getting, but because she believes that she will find a real husband from the west. To the dating sites, she is nothing but the product they advertise to make money off of, and some of the women have gotten hip to that. I have had a couple talk to me seriously about how they felt they were not being informed on how hard it is to marry a western man because of the restrictions on the average Ukrainian's VISA. The dating site WANTS you to fall in love with one, wants you to keep buying credits, spending money, and if you are communicating with a lady from one of the crooked affiliate sites, she will be encouraging you to keep writing, or will try to seduce you with words. A real lady does not do that, even in the sites. If you tell her the site is too high, she wants to know how much you pay. If you tell her you can only write her once a week, she will tell you that she will cherish each letter you send. If you are in a site that has video chat, you can SEE the very woman you are talking too, which Charming Date may have now. A true Ukrainian woman will introduce you to her family through the video chat, show you her brothers and sisters, because Ukrainians are all about family. They are proud of their families and want them to meet you. I have done this several times at another site and even send emails to them without the use of a site, but it costs them a lot of money to respond to you, to have what you send to them interpreted. CharmingDates plays this game two ways, they pimp the woman without her knowing how hard it will be to get this dream, and they scam you thinking you are just going to find a wife here just by a few chats or letters. You might, but you can bet you will be spending a lot of money to send and respond to letters. CharmingDate cheats on their chat feature by NOT giving you the full time you pay for, and they DO have women, who are members of the dating site, answering chat invitations. So, that should tell you something right there. Because there seem to be no restrictions or laws governing these crooked affiliate sites from Ukraine, this will not ever stop. But... there are a few sites out there that you can really meet some decent, nice, attractive and respectful women from Ukraine. After you have been around for awhile, you can smell a scam a mile away. A real Ukrainian woman will SURPRISE you with how friendly she is. She will SHOCK you with how humble she is. All she wants... is for you to be her friend and she HOPES, that it becomes more than that. There are many, many attractive women there. This I learned AFTER my first post here. But because there are so many, the men there take them for granted and will leave them in a minute. They are there, they are in Charming Date, but there is so many frauds and scammers there also, the dating site can easily get out of trouble by saying they have no policies at all governing the affiliates who sell them profiles of women they recruit. The site says "no scams", that is true for any society that has laws, but they do not get these women from a society based on that. So, it is easy for a woman and the company she works for, to scam the site, which I am sure... they know it. Good luck out there! Search the sites hard, there are some Ukrainian women that are really worth your time and attention. I am continuing to find out more and more about Ukraine. It is a very interesting place. It also seems that, the more you seem to want to know about their country, the more honest women are attracted to you. The more intelligent you act towards them, the more credible the women seem to get. It seems like a word goes around the country that says" this guy has a real interest in our country, he is worth being serious with" The truth be told, a lot of dudes, pay that little money to those women, and want nothing but virtual sex from them. That is how I believe the scammers got a foothold in the industry. The cry for immoral (smile). Everything you have read here is based on my personal opinion, on things I have learned while talking and dealing with women from Ukraine. When they were asking me about the unrest in America, about holidays, about how streets look like, you can assume... she is probably on the level. She will NOT EVER ask you for a DIME, nor will she send sob stories about someone in her family being sick. The true Ukrainian woman, for all her humbleness, is still a very PROUD woman. She may not have ANYTHING, but she will not ask anything from you! Personally... I think if you get a chance to get ahold of a true one? That Slavic woman is going to love you to death, no matter WHAT you look like... just have a decent heart and treat her correctly.
Answer: I flew to Kiev and found this site to be much of what others have said. The woman are paid. Local model agencies refer girls to this site to make extra money. One girl told me she made fifty per cent of what she brought in. When I surprised a couple of girls that I was in Kiev vacationing they were all of a sudden leaving Kiev on there own vacation. I found meeting girls in Kiev at bar/restaurant I was much better off. If you notice girls send you the same pictures just to build their tally and so on. If you stick to a letter a week and see where it goes from there it will keep your costs low if you want to keep investigating this site. But my recommendation is travel to Kiev during winter and Oddessa during summer and see what happens.
Answer: It's a fake and scam site.
Answer: Any positive feedback here about Charm Date is a complete lie. Don't believe anything.
Answer: They will not do this. I actually wrote them about a month, maybe two back about policies. This was one of them I wondered about and they said they do not provide that service anymore. They also do not support IMBRA.
Answer: You have to request them to do this. I would delete all your photos, and erase everything you can. Then make the request.
Answer: This site appears to be a complete rip off, far too expensive, gives nothing in return except endless chat.
