Elena's Models

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!

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.

Here is what you will experience You will correspond with many beautiful women on EM. Some will even video chat with you on Skype. But after a short time they will become disinterested in you even if they were messaging you 50 times a day just the day before they start slowly fading away. Their messages get further and further apart and they stop writing. Some messages I even traced to the country of Benin which is right next to Nigeria! They are likely plants that are payed by EM to string you along. SAVE YOUR MONEY guys and leave EM alone! - Another red flag to watch out for: Two of the three women that I did video chat with made inappropriate comments to me. One used the "N" word and another told me that "size matters". Now I realize that they are from a different country and culture but I am very well traveled and I have never experienced anyone saying things like these women did. In my opinion, after they chat with you and string you along for a while they say sometime offensive to try to get you to make it easy on them so that you stop calling them. Caveat Emptor

Of course Elena's Models is a legit site. I am African-American. I met a very young, sexy, beautiful blonde in Moscow through the site. We went on a real date. Not the fake ones you get schooled on at AnastasiaDate, UaDreams, HotRussianBrides, Veronikalove, etc. I have been to about four of the big scam sites. I have spent a few thousand and basically got ripped off. I am lucky though. I have heard of men losing much more than at these sites. The women at the site are real. But of course, there are scammers there. You just have to ignore them. Elenasmodels does not pay them, so sooner or later they ask for money. As for the negative reviews, use common sense. Some men don't like the mail order bride industry at all, so they make reviews of all the sites. But if you see a guy giving AnastasiaDate and UaDreams good reviews while giving Elena's Models bad reviews, it is bogus. The scam sites really hate Elena's Models because it is the most famous of the good sites. I stopped paying for Elena's Models long ago. But I can go back and check my account, email women I have talked to in the past and try to date women who are still looking... without paying a dime more.

So it is your choice. Spend 100 bucks or so at this site, or spend 4K at UaDreams or AnastasiaDate.

So far I've taken advantage of my gold membership, customer service has been always fast but I feel the interaction with women is overrated because in a few weeks I feel like I'm in some ordinary dating site, you have credits and EOI's, your EOI's can be accepted or rejected, but even if the woman accepts your EOI you don't have the certainty that they will answer you back or even read your message, the natural effect is that you already spent 1 credit in someone who didn't bothered in say "Hello" to you, the site offers the refund of the credit if she accepted your EOI and never saw your message, but the problem is several women can accept your EOI, see your message and never reply back which means you're not eligible to receive the refund of that credit, you find yourself wasting credits in people who don't write you back despite the accepted EOI, and then you start to question yourself if these people really want to meet a man for a relationship or they're just there for curiosity in the best case scenario. If you think maybe one of the reasons women didn't write me back is because I'm disrespectful or something like that you're mistaken, I'm not, I ask about their personality, hobbies, etc. At this pace maybe I'll end up spending (or wasting) all my credits before my membership expires without getting closer to my goal, if that happens I don't think I'll ever purchase another membership again. If you think getting a woman in your country is hard, well, think again, maybe you'll find another level of difficulty here.

For me Elena's models is one of the best dating sites out there if you are looking for love in Eastern European countries.

I met a lot of great women there, not just from a love but also friendship point of view. Most of the people I met are genuine people, looking for genuine relationships. There were persons it did not evolve into a romantic relationship, but that is normal. If you meet 20 women on the street and you start talking to them, you would not fall in love or start something with all 20 of then. You might develop some friendships, some might be interesting professionally and maybe one of them will become more.

If you think that all women you talk to on Elena's Model will fall madly in love with you... then rethink. I can only tell you to approach everyone with respect, show them the real you and don't see them as easy women that will drop themselves on their knees for your awesomeness.

So from a website point of view, Elena's Models is just great. It offers you a chance to meet great people looking for love inside or outside the country. It does this by asking for a flat-fee membership, so that you can send as many messages or chats as you want, and won't run your costs very high as other sites do. There is no financial gain for them to string you on.

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

I used Elena's Models site nine years ago and met with 5 different women in Ukraine and Russia over the course of a few years. While none of the relationships evolved into marriage (my longest romantic relationship was 12 months), the women were genuine and "real". I am actually still friends with some of them even after 9 years, including a few that I never met in person. My wife and I just spent a few days in Paris (before the floods, fortunately) with one of them. I am on this site, because I was doing some updated research on Elena's Models for a recently divorced friend of mine and saw all these negative reviews and felt I needed to comment. While some men might have had some bad experiences, I had MUCH better luck and met much more genuine (and way more attractive ) women than the big US sites. (Not sure I can mention them here). JUST as with any on-line site, be careful, and don't be stupid, but based on my personal experience, I would not hesitate to recommend Elena's Models if it still operates the same as when I used the site.

I've been on Elenasmodels for one year I've wasted thoysands of hours and can tell you from experience msny women there are just trying to escape a terrible country... I know I've been there! Most of the women I've communicated with would drop u as soon as a fat rich American attorney wanted to marry them for a sex toy... that happened... truly! In my year I have flown women to meet me taken one girl on a holiday twice met others in Ukraine.,. Do not be sucked in by the propoganda... many of these Slavic women see you as a mobile wallet and as soon as something better is on the horizon you will be replaced... they are superficial shallow and when you get past the looks have very little value as human beings... there culture brain washed them into thinking if I look hot I can be a lazy $#*!... I'm not being bitter here I've travelled the world and I've seen many cultures... the women on these sites have kids and live in a few hundred euros s month alone because they either sucked there husband dry it he had enough of it... u will here all the stories about how bad Russian Ukrainian men are but the truth if you dig deeper is the beauty of most of these women is only skin deep... I've been played and had quite a few women try to play me... and Elenasmodels models has had reports and let's it continue ITS JUST BIG BUSINESS

BEWARE... check out all the forums and hard luck stories of decent western men who lost everything or killed themselves because of these cold blooded creatures...

I have used ElenasModels for about 6 months now. I have met many ladies from Russia and Ukraine. I have also taken a trip to Ukraine to meet the lady I currently have a relationship with. My experience has been nothing but possative.

There was a couple if of instances of "fishy" scenarios and the site administrators caught them and removed them from the site and informed me about it and warned me if I was in contact with them to be careful. They were very professional about it.

Yes many of the ladies use professional photos. Part of this is cultural and part of this is... yes... baiting the hook. But for the people who complain about it I think they are ridiculous. This is dating and of course they put their best face forward. I would say learn from it and do the same. The women I have met are good and decent people.

I am sure there are scammers who get past the administrators... I have met a few personally. But the vast majority are sincere in looking for a relationship. No company can catch all of the bad eggs but this site does the best job.

Every time I asked for help the admin was there and answered my emails promptly.

I would recommend this site to anyone and give the advice in general to the guys to never send money to anyone and you never need to worry about scams. But I think the site has a reasonable rate for the service provided and provides a wealth of information.

Elena's Models is a rare beacon of integrity in a market that consists mostly of scamming sites. They check the identification of every woman (passport etc) which no-one else does so far as I am aware. Naturally this does not guarantee that the intentions of every woman on the site are honest but I have observed that they are quick to take down the profiles of any woman who they discover to have alternative agendas. Also I have never gotten any kind of sense that they use fake profiles to attract men to the site. If you read a lot of the one star reviews of EM on this site you will see that they are written by obviously stupid men who thought that signing up on the site somehow guaranteed that they would be buying themselves a supermodel. If you approach the site with a modicum of realism and common sense there is every chance that you will find it a rewarding experience. Just in passing I would like to stress that you should ABSOLUTELY avoid any site that expects you to pay for every letter, telephone call, email etc that that you exchange with women. I mean you would think that the clear incentives for fraud that this business model establishes would be obvious to everyone but it is amazing how many men continue to be fleeced by these 'pay per letter' sites. These sites (and they constitute the overwhelming majority in the area of Russian/Ukrainian dating) only exist to empty your bank accounts. Don't say you weren't warned... Mitchell (United Kingdom)

I'm a member since some time. I met 2 women via the site, but they live in my country (Holland). Till now the step to meet a woman longdistance is to big, but who knows it might happen in the near future.
I guess every site can have fake profiles, as in my country too, as it happens on Tinder. Be smart and not a dumb $#*!. So the guys complaining, I guess you should check yourself, maybe you ware not carefull and who knows want to meet a 20-year old while you are 60. Come on.
Anyways, to the site. There are not as many new profiles as I would like, but there are new profiles every week and they seem legit. If they are not elenasmodels removes them rather quickly.
Why did it not work out with the 2 ladies in my country. With one I did not feel the connection, the other one maybe was to young and beattuful, she has many options in my country too.
Conclusion: Elenasmodels is a good site if you want to meet beautiful intelligent women. More and more I believe I should take it more seriouse and try a real membership (I paid to meet 1 member the other occasions), If I do, and meet someone, I will let you know :)

The main red flag about this website is that how they make black PR writing articles about other dating websites! The honest website will not need this to "win the competition" with other dating sites - they will concentrate on their own reputation.
I corresponded with one very good mature lady for a while. Then her profile was removed. I was upset that maybe she appeared a scammer (though never asked me for any help or gifts). However, in few days she texted me on my private email, thanks God she saved it. Of course my first question was why her profile has been deleted? She answers support didn't exaplain the reason and just answered that her profile was suspended for no reason. Wow! Suspended? "Your face look suspicious- so I will erase you!" - that's the policy of this site!
To be honest, at that time I didn't know who to believe, because I haven't seen her on video - just she kept sending me her recent photos. But as I already planed my visit to Ukraine, I arranged a meeting with her. And what do you think, gentlemen? - she was exactly what I imagined, genuine person, looks like her photos, never asked me for money or shopping. The only problem was her bad English, but she told me about this far in advance and I was ready. But still I feel that might be difficult to make relationships work without normal communication. Though my doubts have nothing to do with her character.
I'm sure many of men were in the same situation when your lady was suddenly deleted. I realize it's because women don't pay any membership and get no respect from the site. They make you think they care about you and protect you from scam women, but in reality they erase honest women just in random way! It makes the search really impossible!
However, many ladies who gave me hints about financial help are still on the website, which makes me think that they work for the site.
So guys, if you use this doubtful website, make sure that you exchanged contacts with the lady you are talking to!

The site does work. Most of the women are real and they do a good job of identifying scammers. You must have realistic expectations however. If on a scale of 1-10 you are a 3 and an 11who is 30 years younger than you tells you she thinks your hot it's a scam. There are sketchy people on all sites. The scammers want money. And time is money. If you never give money you will never be scammed. They will not waste time on you and move on to an easier target. The problem is that USCIS thinks Elena's models is an IMBRA and they have structured their business to take advantage of loopholes to declare that they are not an IMBRA. They do not comply with IMBRA law and are not required to comply. However Elena's models does not approve visas the US consulate does and they say it's an IMBRA and will deny the visa. Whether the site is or is not is irrelevant. The usa government thinks it is and they have not addressed it. I'm writing this review from Russia. My fiancée visa was denied at the interview yesterday.

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.
