“VQT has been the most Genuine interaction i have had during COVID-19”

daniel p.
2/7/21

I had been booked and paid for in full to attend July 2020 tour, however with the COVID restrictions and travel bans i was unable to leave my country. When Dream Connections launched the VQT (Virtual Quest Tour) I was one of the first to jump at the opportunity. My Romance coach (Anna) was amazing and we are still close friends that talk quite often. She helped me find my lady, who i could not be any happier with. Dream Connections were happy to refund me the difference between the full tour and the Virtual Quest tour, i opted to use it for credit on other Dream Connections services instead. I have spoken with Mark at length for numerous times and is a patient and genuine person, while i can see where peoples perspective of him been a salesman can come from, I can honestly say that i did not have that feeling, my advice is to park your cynicism for just moment you will see beyond the superficial parts and see that they are in the business of bring people together.

“Dream Connections & Mark Davis Scammers”

I would give Dream Connections a zero stars if I could. The owner is real snake oil salesman. He pulls at your emotion and preys on men when they are at their weakest point. It's true, once they have your money, they don't care and the men that actually do get married, which are few compared to the amount they have going on trips, is really just luck. I personal witness Mark blowing men off on my trip and read between his lies. Followed the company for years and noticed the many lies and once they get caught, they delete videos. Stop over paying for this service guys, their business model is old and truly a bunch low life scammers!

I ended up not going on the tour I signed up for because the person who signed me up scheduled me for the wrong tour and then refused to return my deposit. He was actually mad I went on my own and met a Ukrainian woman that way. They just want to take your money and don't take responsibility for their own mistakes/disorganization. Find an overseas reputable personalized agency instead.

Mark is only in it for the money first he sets his men up with coaches you only need one of those if you're playing a game! Second he pushes marriage so bad because it makes his business look good and I hear he even has a coach that will help you through your marriage to make his business look more successful. Mark also offers his clients training in how to pick up a Foreign Bride are his clients dogs! What happened to his wife Ann? He has a new video on YouTube of him taking gifts that he makes his customers pay for to Orphanges in Ukraine he won't even match their offer like most caring charities will. The reason Mark wants to deliver them so he can look like the hero over there he probably even tells them he paid for everything! I went to Ukraine 7 years ago and did everything on my own from day one met 4 women two through a site called Romance Compass and from people I got to be friends with I now have an apartment and girlfriend in Nikolaev.

I really want to warn everybody off DreamConnections! It's extremely overpriced. Don't believe a word they say! No date is guaranteed. Most of the women are paid for coming to greet events, they don't intend to have any dates. So I came to Ukraine with DreamConnections, I paid them $5000 and I didn't have a single date organized by them! But I easily met a woman from a different site though. Don't fall for DreamConnections trap! They overpromise and oversell. They take your money (absurd amount of money) and give you nothing.

And if the headline is not bad enough half the women on the site work as "Bar Girls" in Soi cowboy. That is not surprising when one realises that the main recruiter for thids company was an ex dancer at Shark bar one of the most notorious gogo bars in Soi cowboy. How come i know so much? Because I was approached and offered money to attend a Social event at the restaurant in the Rembrandt hotel. I did not go but my niece who is a stripper went along in my place. She was paid THB 1500 just for walking in the door. My niece earns THB 9.000 a month so this was about 6 days wages. Her english is perfect but as an experiment i told her not to let on and that she only spoke Thai. Some of the things she was told were horrible. "These men will not marry you, they are here on a sex tour from what i can make out" When a black man asked her to have dinner with him that night She replied in Thai "I do not date black men" The man was told "She would love to but is busy tonight" He then politely asked for the next night (and apparently he was polite) The translator said to her in Thai "Just agree to it then don't show up. It will be ok as we have another group of women coming tomorrow" she again said Mai. Quite loudly. (Mai means no in thai) As the afternoon was 2/3rds over she was shepherded over to the sign in table given her money and so she went to work. We later found out that the guy did not get a single date through dream connections because of his "attitude" Why does not the owner come clean with the men. Honestly, if we were truly attracted to old white men who can't get a date in America or beat up their ex wives then this grubby company would go bankrupt anyway as we would be finding these guys ourselves. When you next go on a dream connections tour realise that most of the pretty women that are there have been paid to be there and the ordinary ones are looking for financial support. I will be very interested to see how the owner (an odious little fat man called Mark) responds to this. If he has the guts.

Tip for consumers:
Do not use it. Find a more established or reputable company where the owner lives in Thailand and has a reputation to protect. Certainly use a company with more than 100 girls registered.

Products used:
My niece got paid exactly what i was offered to turn up to pretend to be interested in marrying a man.
The translators work for the company and tell the men what they want to hear. None of the products offered work for thai womken. It is a massive scam

I wanted to update all the men out there who are thinking of still going on a DC tour after reading all of the bad reviews.(including my original one) Please i beg of you do not waste your money/time. My original tour was in 2019 and since then all of the men who went on my tour roughy 35 and not one of us successful in a relationship with anyone from DC. I am being told that the owners who formed DC because of the success they had in finding each other are now seperated. So all the advice you get from the Owner Mark who thinks he knows how to get and keep a Ukranian woman you can throw out the window. Their website used to show successful couples to show that their process worked, If you look at their website and the successful couples they post are from years ago.(all these couples were there in 2019 when i went on my tour) they host several tours a year in different countries and the success rate of their "Process" is extremely low. Its a lot of money and a lot of B. S. that your being fed to make you believe that you will end up happily in a relationship. I said this in my last review and i will say it again spend the thousands of dollars on someone local and i bet you will find far better results.

It starts off with a ridiculous challenge from Mark(the owner of DC) that he puts in all of his videos(mostly because i think he likes to hear himself talk) that you are not a real man if you dont take a chance and go on one of his tours(he says this over and over) Most of the girls on the site were not at the initial meet and great there were women there not on the site mostly because i think they had many problems/children or were not attractive enough to make you spend $5000. 00(DC fee) for the chance to meet them. We were all told the women had been interviewed and vetted but that could not be farther from the truth at least 4 women i spoke to said they signed up a week before i arrived and all that was asked of them was age/children/height/weight etc..."love coaches" or that's what DC/Mark want us to call them push the women on you so that you wont complain even if the women are rude and disrespectful or seem disinterested. The coaches say things like she is not always like that and when you get married she will be different etc... One woman i was dumb enough to continue correspondence with when i got home was extremely immature and told me she was married & divorced previous when she said nothing when i was there and started telling me about female medical problems she had and so on, again i was told nothing about any problems when i was there for 10 days. If DC was once interested in really pairing people together they have since fallen far away from their original plan. I went to the Ukraine for my tour the other tours they have is Colombia where a very large portion of the women are prostitutes and Thailand (enough said). Nikaloev and women of the Ukraine who are not damaged in relatively good looking, date and marry local men they would have nothing to do with foreigners(that's why all the "Love Coaches" are married to locals). One of the worst parts is you arrive on a huge bus in the middle of the city center and all of the foreigners get off with their luggage in front of all of the locals(so embarrassing) The owner and his wife don't really get as involved as their video would have you believe they leave that up to their staff and their number 1 Irina(who could sell ketchup Popsicle's to people with white gloves) Needless to say a year after attending their event out of the 35 of us that attended 3 are still talking to their ladies. For $11-12K spent(DC fee/flight/hotel/gifts/meals etc...) it was probably one of the worst investments you can make. Spend that kind of money on someone local and i bet you have far better results. Again and i cannot say this enough the locals in the Ukraine know foreigners come for only one reason(Women) and any respectful woman in the Ukraine would have nothing to do with Dream Connections. Final thoughts it was hinted to me by 2 women that DC pays some of the more attractive women to attend the events so that men will come to them and also when your on your last day or so the owner Mark passes out a piece of paper saying it states that you attended the event and that some men stated they didn't and so on. He does this when everyone is going to the final dinner and we are all about to get on the bus to do so in hopes i am sure that no one reads what they are signing. When you read it it states that DC met or exceeded all of your expectations and some other garbage Mark put down there to show everyone that they are successful and that their clients are happy when in truth the majority of them are not(i keep in touch with 12 other guys from my tour) There are people that will continue to fall for this "Scam" and to them i am sorry but if you read this before making a deposit i would urge you to find a different route to finding happiness because nothing is worse than still being alone and now 11-12k poorer

I went on a tour in 2015 and met a beautiful woman. Initially everything was good but it didn't take long for the woman to start asking for financial help. I brought it to the owners and their coaching was a joke. They wanted me to give her a chance but finally even they had to agree she was only interested in money. But here's the corker, she was seen at future tours.

The owners on care about the money they get from the men, nothing else.

I took a tour with Dream Connections in 2015. The videos promised that they over delivered and under sold. The opposite is true. You pay a minimum of $5000 to meet a bunch of women, 90% of which were not on the website (total bait and switch). We were told that all the women were vetted. This is simply not true. I dated a few women, one for some time and none of them were vetted. In fact one of the ones I dated just showed up the day I arrived because a friend suggested it. She had never heard of the agency before.

If they had vetted this woman they could have saved me a lot of heart ache and money. It took a few months to find out the truth but the entire time I was dating her she was communicating with other men on different websites and excepting gifts, expensive gifts.

The owners, * talk a good game but only care about the money. How do I know this? Once the tour is over they have no interest in knowing what's happening unless you book another tour. I even told them that the relationship ended and they not only didn't inquire as to what happened, but they didn't even acknowledge it.

To add insult to injury I have friends that still follow them and have seen this woman come back many times to their socials. From talking to members of previous and past tours, this isn't the first or last time this has happened.

If you are going to take a tour with any agency that introduces you to foreign women, I would not use Dream Connections unless you want to over pay and get very little for the money. The hotel in Nikolaev was $12 a night and we paid $5000 plus airfare. It's a total rip off. They claim to have a 'proprietary method" and that's why they charge so much. What they actually do is stick you in a room with 30-50 women, most are average to below average looking, and it's one mini blind date after another.
