“Great site, authentice”

Jacob H.

The only russian\ukraiinan dating site I will trust. There are large amounts of real girls on here who freely correspond with you, who often like to correspond outside the site, I have had one successful relationship through this site, and they have this communication policy if the girl does not respond after showing interest the give you a credit for that "expression of interest". The subscription packages are great! Wish all dating site had this style.

“Avoid this site like plague”

Luckily I found something better: Jst4HookUp I can really recommend this service to all guys. And I want to warn everybody against Elena'sModels. This is a totally fraudulent site. You can lose money quicker than at the poker table. They continue milking people for money with impunity. You see a lot of beautiful ladies there who are exceptionally and conventionally attractive. But all of them are paid models. Do not fall victim to this scam. All photos are stolen from Instagram accounts of models. Pretty much all profiles are fake. Avoid this site like plague!

Most of the women are actresses paid to make this work. Once you share with them your email or your telephone number, they totally change their behaviour and have no more interest toward you. Site managers are Liars,they promise to refund you if a woman show interest toward you but then she doesn't answer to your (paid) letters. Forget about that, they don't give back 1 cent. Be aware and save your money and time, they play with feelings of people!

Expensive and the site is filled with fake profiles. There just can't be that many "10s" on a dating site. I've had many scam attempts as well. I spun my wheels wading through all the fakes, scams, etc. and just got tired of it.

Tip for consumers:
While I'm sure there are legitimate profiles on the site, get ready to wade through a lot of fakes

I'm following up my review posted on 28 Oct 2018. Since then, my chosen partner & I have met several times, in Russia and China, and recently she became my fiancee. We're now planning to get married next month! Many thanks to Elena's Models for the introduction and this incredible, wonderful once-in a-lifetime experience. Happily ever after? That's what we're planning and working towards. Best wishes to everyone with their own journey...

If I were to put it nicely, Elena'sModels is a bullcrap. Full of stoodges employed by the site to keep you depleting credits in chat. You just can't tear them off from the site because they are dishonest from the start when they tell you they are interested in you. You can go on forever wasting money on fake illusion and never go anywhere with Elena'sModels girls. Stay away from them for your own mental heath!

Be aware that this site is totally unuseful, 99% of the beautyful women are actresses paid for their job. When you express interest towards these women, in short time they send you back positive answer ( it means I agree, i have the same interest for You, we can chat). Then you pay to write them mails and they don't answer you back at all, or sometimes they don't read your mail at all, despite the fact that you can see them online for many many hours every day! It's a job for them, they are paid to do that and if you accept my advice, stay very far from them!

This site is what it is. You be the judge of all that. However, they are a criminal organization when it comes to their billing practices.
It states on their website that to cancel you simply need to go to the settings page and click on the " cancel my account" link. Of course this link does not exist. There is a block of code that they keep commented out of the sites html that they can conveniently bring back when needed for legal reasons.
They make it impossible to cancel your account. It is criminal but then again so is the owner.
They bank on the assumption that most men will be too embarrassed to complain and just let their card be constantly charged for quarterly billings.
There is a red button to "delete your profile" there. But all that does is lock you out of your account, it does not stop the billing.
Do not give them your credit card info!

Beside the huge pile of stinky fraudulent East European dating sites there is one that I know is real and serious - Elena's Models. I was so lucky that a friend of mine told me about it! I found my true love there and our son is already 2 months old. Thank you, Elena's Models!

Terrible service, I mean there is no service at all(((( Troubles with everything(downloading pictures, help desk response etc.) Didn`t have access to their app because they didn`t want to approve it. Posted all my personal information there including professional picture. And then was told they need more information. TERRIBLE! Contacted help desk several times with no success. Finally just quit and deleted my account.

This site is complete garbage and filled with fake profiles! If you join it you will see exactly what I am saying as you search through the women. You will see a bunch of profiles of beautiful girls with either only 1 picture and 0% Response rate on their response meter or sometimes they have a few pictures but still a 0% response rate and after a few days of the profiles being created they never sign in again. Most all of these type profiles are beautiful models that look like their profile picture came out of a magazine and they don't respond to a single a message! It was obvious these type of profiles are "filler" profiles meaning Ellen'sModels most likely either created them or allows these fake profiles to be made so it looks like the site is filled with morr beautiful women even though like I said these fake profiles the girl never responds to a single a message! So all the BS that they interview every girl and make sure she is legit and looking for love is not true! Like I said these profiles are clearly fake I see them get created and then the girl just never responds to a single message! So this is one scam on ElenasModels. The other type of scammer on there is the opposite of this where she is a profile of a beautiful woman who has a very high response rate who basically responds to everyone and gives out her number very quickly and then after you talk to her on WhatsApp you realize she is only looking for money and asking you to buy her gifts. ElenasModels usually kicks these girls off the site eventually after enough guys report her but the fact this scammer gets on the site to begin with shows ElenasModels Is not verifying these women and letting any scammer easily find their way on the site! So what are we paying for if these scammers can easily create a profile on the site? Then lastly you will have profiles of girls who are real and some are pretty but they are not serious at all and after they give you their number and act interested initially and laugh at your jokes these just randomly disappear and stop reading or replying to your text this happens quite often with these type of women. So these girls are either just paid to make it look like they are serious and make men think real women are on the site that are looking for love or they're another type of fake profile/scammer that ElenasModels did not weed out of the site that signs up with no intention to have a relationship. Oh and I forgot last are the profiles of girls who are cute and are real but they have some major problems maybe they have kids, unattractive, divorced, or in poverty, don't speak English, etc where they are looking for something but they are low quality women in Russian society that are struggling to find any man interested in them so this is why they join the site. This is the entire site of ElenasModels and they type of women you will find!

Hello Derek,
We are sorry your experience has not been as successful as the other many thousands that have found a partner since 1999. Online dating takes time and patience to filter the best matches for those seeking long term relationships.
The process of membership operates as strong if not stronger for approval as internet dating has grown over the years. Under no circumstance does or ever have Elenas Models used fake or filler profiles as suggested. At Elena's Models we have taken a stance to invite any government body or major News network to fully investigate our system and business model (even the computer code) to clearly demonstrate your comments could never occur and in fact, we work to ensure no such members can operate in our listings.
Any member who (anyone can) reports another member for misconduct or inappropriate use of our website is always investigated and if determined to be true based on the report will be removed from the site. We always expect that the member reporting another member provides the full and detailed information on the member they are reporting to assist with our review.

Elenas Models does not agree with your comments that is discriminating and degrading how you describe women on our site or your reference to women in Russian society. We encourage women and men to join and search for the partner they always wanted.

March 2021.
Minimum 3 months@ USD 43 a month.
This gives a limit of 50 contacts. I registered and in 4 DAYS had 33 expressions of interest from women and 11 messages. - so $$ would not last more than a month and then I guess I would have to upgrade to top tier?

PHOTOS on womens profiles you see one medium size image want to see more or a bigger image upgrade._ this is seriously a big flaw in comparison to other sites... Often the first image of someone is not one which would attract but another on the profile may well be.

I have been a member of this site previously and find this "NEW" 2021 version an overpriced dinosaur.

Have never found a false profile and many good genuine women... Oh act quickly or they will move on)))

Tip for consumers:
There are other sites giving value for your money. eg. Russian Cupid and Brides and lovers. Just beware of scammers there. )))

Adam H. – Elena's Models Rep

Hello Ivan,
Thanks for your comments on pricing and user experience. We have two membership levels, one being GOld (a type of pay as you go) or Platinum which provides unlimited access to members including unlimited communication.
Every member (like yourself) that is nearing the end of a paid membership, normally 3 or 6 months, is always offered an extension/new membership at massively discounted prices that is very competitive in online dating.

Here are some key benefits that beat the competitor's value
1. Communication is completely unlimited with another member including emails, chat and if Platinum member video chat
2. Platinum members can contact as many other members during the membership period, no restrictions
3. You can type and share your personal contact information including email, skype/WhatsApp so you can decide how best to communicate ongoing

Most eastern European dating sites require you to pay per mails or Chat per minute which is filled with possible exploitation charging in this manner and will for sure in the end cost you considerably more USD43 a month talking to potentially 50 real women.

In relation to the website we have not released a new version in 2021, in fact, we are only in development currently so not sure about your confusing comments on this. We work very hard to make our profiles or membership listings of a high standard and constantly review and monitor for suspicious activity.

We hope you return and if so please write to support desk and ask for a returning member discount, they can always assist a returning member.

Like the plethora of other dating sites out there, you will have to cut your way through the fake profiles that are taking advantage of the platform to their own benefit, but they are generally fairly easy to spot.
That being said, this site DOES have LEGIT women who are genuinely interested in developing relationships. I spoke with at least two or three real legit women from here, exchanging personal contact information and talking with them for real on the phone or skype. After a while, I really hit it off with one of them and continued talking to her, every day. Eventually I set up a trip to meet her (in Russia) and things went amazingly well. We have met several more times and continue to talk every day. I for one feel very lucky. After two years of our long distance relationship (which neither of us ever thought would realistically work) we are going to get married this fall.
Tips for making this site work:
-Be honest about what you are looking for
-be communicative, and weed out the women you ask for money to use translation services or visa applications or whatever
-watch for the typical scam patterns from users (I'd say about 50% of the profiles are fake, the other 50% are real)
-don't rush into anything, talk to and really get to know your matches, exchange real life contact info. And find out about arranging a meeting. (go there first, don't offer to bring them to you)
I have honestly met the woman of my dreams from here, and I never expected her to be what she is, but here we are!

An update to my review dated 6/19/17.

This Saturday I'll marry the beautiful blond lady that I met on Elena's Models.

It has been much more difficult than I ever imagined going through the whole application and K-1 visa process. The hardest part was the waiting; not knowing clearly the USCIS review timetable. Once the application wad approved and finally sent to Moscow everything moved quickly. I made the trip to Russia for her interview, a quick four day sojourn, and the people at the US embassy couldn't have been nicer. She was nervous and I was relaxed. (While we waited we also visited each other and took a Christmas 2 week trip to Portugal.)

Now we watch '90 Day Fiancee' on TCL and wonder how much are they paying these people for all the drama.

This is just a note to all of you out there to say it can work. Don't give up on finding that someone special and on being happy.

Hi Peter,
Congratulations on your process and we wish you our success. Please let us know if you need any assistance on our helpdesk at any time.
Thanks for your straight shooting in regards to the age difference. We analysed success stories from the previous members over the last two years and found that the average age difference was 8.5 years. Some age gaps were higher with a difference of 12 years and one was 18 years, but the reality is; be sensible and realistic.
Wishing You Our Best

I have been on Elenas Models since June 2017... Lots of wonderful women on the site... You do have to pick and choose. And kinda communicate with them, to get a good vibe. Most women want to communicate by Skype only :) I am currently communicating with a wonderful woman from Russia for the last 10 months by Skype everyday. Going to visit her in October and I know she is my future wife :) :)

Bad site the basics conception: owner promoted about here a lot of beautiful and young woman. The
Customer service this site only allows pictures with photoshop. I am a woman who wanted registered on this site and sent to customer service my photos from real life. I had problems with it. After that my pictures was declined because they asked me to send them pictures with filters and more beautiful and bright. My opinion why the customer service of Elenamodels asked to send them beautiful pictures because they want to have more money from man because when men will see beautiful pictures and then they will pay. She named this site name Elena MODELS! -good name for successful business because man are thinking in this site a lot of models who are looking for a serious relationship.The site is not with models but with photos with photoshop and therefore they look beautiful. I am a girl who wanted to register in site and admin from support Elenamodels can accepts only photos from studios with photoshop. When I tried to send my real photos they was declined and only pictures with photoshop was approved.
The site Elenamodels does not allow paid membership for women and that why there are women without money, mostly looking for money and not love. I wanted to pay membership but it is not possible for women. I am woman pretty and young without problems with money and I am looking for a true love and serious relationship really. Probably I don't want to be in this site because too much problems with real pictures and registration for women.

My wife and I are celebrating our 13th anniversary on August 3rd. We met through Elena's Models and have never been happier. After reading some of the comments here, I had to post a review. There seems to be a delusion that the site is magic and everyone will respond to every single communication. Let's be real, if it were easy to find someone, everyone would be married and happy. Unfortunately, this is not the case. You are dealing with real people on this site and yes, there are scammers, professional daters, and even gold diggers as these are real people. It is up to you to find your match. Sending letters that say "Yo, what's up" doesn't cut it. I met my wife in August, 2007 and we exchanged letters until January 21,2008 before I went to visit. I saved all letters in word. We exchanged 1.57M words in that time. There is a big difference between a dating site and a marriage site. The women you meet here are looking for someone willing to make a commitment. They don't want to simply kick it. If you aren't able to put in the time or the financial commitment to bring a woman here, it is best for you to hang out a eharmony. This site is real... most of the women are real... I just want to say thank you Elena's Models. This my third and last marriage. Your site made us both very happy.

If you are a woman this site will treat you extremely badly! For some reason they are against women from Ukraine, especially Odessa and Kharkiv, like we are not people here and do not deserve to find love! At first they will ask you to prove 101 times that you are real! Ok, i can understand this as there are many fakes and scammers. But video interview might be too much! This site does not like women to use other websites. Afraid of competitors? - ok, improve your service then and treat people with respect. Women have totally no rights on this site as they are not paid members. Nobody will listen to your complains. There are number of websites who offer both male and female members paid programs which i think is cool! I do not mind to pay as i was serious in my search and future happiness is a lot more important than several payments for subscription.
After all one day i found my profile deleted with the note that "password and email are not recognized". I did not brake any of rules from this site - i have never asked for money or gifts any from members, asked men for contact info only in some exceptional case if our letters via site seemed to be interesting and exciting. Never made any advertisments or spam via the site. I texted helpdesk, but guess what? Surely i got no answer, because who will answer someone who does not pay? After all this website sent notification to a man i was talking to that i was deleted as a scammer. Wonderful! So ladies, even if you have genuine intentions and politely talk to members and do not brake the rules, have no interest in gifts, some day their managers might be not in the mood, will delete you and mess up everything with men who you talk privately by convincing them that you are scammer!

So, men, who read my feedback, please make sure you got private contacts of a lady you are interested in. Some day she could be marked as a scammer for no reason. Surely, that can be true too, but do not give up if it happened - just check if she is real by video call and make sure she is not asking you for any financial help upfront the real meeting. Otherwise this website will milk you for subscription money forever and assure that every lady is a scammer. Do not listen to anyone, just make own conclusions and follow your heart! Remember, both good and bad women are everywhere and only you can decide who is right for you. Not any website manager. And there are many a lot cheaper websites with a lot more members and better attitude, so what they say they are the most trusted site - it is not more than just PR. Overall this website works very slowly, often get frozen and disconnected with server.

Thank you for your review.
We confirm that Elena’s Models Bans 3 Ukrainian Locations Due to Scams: Odessa, Kharkiv, Zaporizhia. Pervasive scams in these 3 Ukrainian regions caused the ban. Large PPL dating sites have their offices and multiple agents in these cities, which caused certain deceiving patterns of behaviour to become ingrained: Women date foreign men purposefully to extract financial benefits. The spread of dishonest schemes widely used by agents led an increase in scams against foreigners seeking love.
Since we imposed the Ban- nothing has changed in these reasons and as men pay for our reputable service we must do our best to protect against loss of money or wasting it.
On occasion we will make exceptions for women only on the requirement we set out that includes video interview, viewing evidence of identity and posting of a personal video. We doubt any man joining our site would think our process is not of a world-class level.
The suggestion you have been accepted and then removed would only occur if our systems and team reviewed activity that triggers such an action.
However, as you have taken time to report such an issue then here please tell us your Elena’s Models ID and I will personally review and post results here.
Elena’s Models Guarantee
Once again, Elena’s Models make it clear that we will not be tolerating scams and deceitful tactics of conduct on our site. Protecting our members from dishonesty and ensuring that only genuine members can use our services is our definitive goal.
Elena’s Models do not pay commissions to agents for profiles or messages. No payments per letter — unlimited communication and freedom to share your contact information.
Elena’s Models Integrity Disclosure:
• No bots or mailing software used on the site to incite communication between members.
• No chatbots are used on the site or app.
• No profiles are accepted from agents in exchange for payments.
• No commissions are paid to women or agents to communicate with men.

The women on Elenas models are all too real, and this is a big problem. Trust me, I married a girl from Kaliningrad, Russia, that I met on Elenasmodels. Shortly after the marriage she started to abuse me and use me as a 'walking wallet'. What ever I did was not particularly appreciated and my ego came under sustained attack. She showed less and less concern about my welfare and what I needed from the relationship. She basically stole my dignity (my family came interstate to attend the wedding) and my money (she's driving a car that I'm still paying off). We're now separated. She was a truly manipulative individual and very charming and skillful one at that. Absolutely terrible decision marrying this girl. This person has ruined my life for the time being. She is trying to stay in Australia under an 'abusive husband' rule which is an absolute lie, but just shows the depths to which she has gone to stay in Australia. Watch out guys!

I have been on this site for about 4 months searching for the right woman for marriage. I went over seas to Ukraine on a romance tour to find a good woman to spend my life with, I met many interesting women over seas and ended up dating two women over the past year that I had met on my tour. These relationships didn't work out but we have remained friends and one of the ladies told me about this site to try, so I signed up a paid for my membership and have met many interesting women from this site, I have met a number of these women face to face on my tour I took, and I have video chatted with a good number of new women I've met from here. I have even had a Ukrainian with a tourist visa come and visit me in the US for 2 months to spend time together. I can say that these women are real and honestly looking, if you don't have the money or time to go see them in person then please don't waste the ladies time, if they like you they are going to ask to meet in person and it's usually pretty quick. Thanks Elenasmodels for everything that you do. I would never use another site or tour agency again.

Elena was impressed with your advice, not wasting time if you are not serious to move directly into a relationship and travel. Elena is a serious site so not for players.

I'll keep it short. Elena's Models website is everything it advertises. Although I met my woman an another site, I set up meetings with some of the women I met on EM and had a great time with them. They are real, sincere, elegant, and they are looking for love. The one's I met were not only gorgeous, they were down to earth yet very elegant and educated women... much better than the women I've met in California.
I recommend EM to anyone ready to get on a plane for Moscow or Kiev!

Amazing thing happens once you sign up and pay money. You become invisible! The anxious girls that cant wait to talk? Not anymore. As this isnt a "pay per letter" deal, the girls (by their own admission) have no incentive to continue corresponding once you've paid your expensive access fee. Site is trying every way possible to get you to send them a copy of your passport so you can confirm your identity. Nothing suspicious there. Complain to them? They will tell you flat out - TOUGH. No refunds for ANY reason. None. THis site is just about getting about $200 out of your pocket and then who cares what after that. Im not the only saying this guys... not only does that smoking hot 25 year old Ukrainian not want anything to do with you, but Elenasmodels just wants to get money out of you. Oh... want to stop your autorenewal, be prepared to cancel your credit card. Really. They will say "Oh, we are happy to cancel your membership. Please send us copy of your passport."

Does this sound like a scam? Do the math

Thank you for your feedback. Refunds are provided if you do not use the services provided in your membership. Cancelling autorenewal is very simple and is done in your settings by clicking one link. If you have trouble with that just contact hepdesk and it will be done that same day (unless you have used the membership functions already. However, even then we normally refund a portion. If you have had an issue please provide me with your membership ID number and we will look into this issue immediately.

Our membership also provides a credit back to your account if a woman responds positively to your EOI then you use your unlimited communication credit by mail or text chat does not reply within 30 days- it's automatically credited to your account. Also if we suspend any women (and we do suspend women daily) if you used a credit on that member it is automatically credited back to your account. We have operated this policy since 2014 and it is very successful.

We only request identity information if there are suspicious credit card details and profile information details. Credit card processors assist us in sending us suspicious transactions which we investigate daily.

It is true we are not "PAY PER LETTER" as you have pointed out and it is true as you state women have no incentive to continue corresponding. This only reinforces Elena's Models is a real dating site with normal real members and it is up to each to decide how they communicate with and how often.

Totally agree with previous bad reviews. If you a woman and want to register, you'll have come hell and high water for your profile to be approved. Totally waste of time! Requirements for photos are not disclosed to users. When you ask helpdesk legit questions, all you'll get a copy/paste answers that do not make sense. Collected my phone number for verification, but guess what, no one called! The question is for what purpose they do it, if no one reaches out. Required to upload more photos, but when I pointed out the women profiles with only one photo, all I've got as an answer "upload more photos and be positive." Terrible incompetence in working with users. Withholding important information from users before or during registration is unacceptable. After pointed out to several men profiles with no photos, they say that is OK, because men are a paid members, however no background checks are conducted. IT IS NOT OK for a trustful dating site, as they present themselves. After all this hassle with registration, I deleted my account that have not been even approved.

Very few of the women have serious intentions. Most will give you their number and even after good conversation disappear. Which makes me believe they are lured to this site in conspicuous way and Elenas does not dig deeper to find out if the girls are even intersted in a relationship. Many of the women lie as I met a girl in Russia and she was still conversing and in love with her ex boyfriend while she told me she loved me. A lot of the women expect gifts and for you to pay for exotic trips. This site is a prime example of why Most Americans think Russians or girls from Ukrains, Belarus, etc are scammers this site proves it. Sure there may be some decent girls but the ones who are decent are very very plain looking or just flat out unattractive, older, or single moms not worth traveling to Eastern Europe. The site is way overpriced for the quality of women. Most of the women are divorced or single moms you will see when you look at profiles this pattern over and over again. So they are bottom of Russian or Ukrainian society and just looking for someone to take care of their kid. Stay away i was there for many years and contacted well over 1000 women to truly test the site and saw how flakey and shady the womem are over and over again. Its funny too you will talk to a girl then the site deletes her because some member reports her as a scam lol. So I'm sure this site doesn't really throughly investigate the women as many women I saw removed from the site!

It is unfortunate review sites cannot moderate postings. Review sites like Site Jabber do not require any presentation of evidence. This review process is ok as it's free to do so.
