Was a member for like a year and recommended it for a few friends-also bought membership to one as a gift. Usual anti-scam sense applies here: If it looks like too good to be true it is too good to be true, always check photos with tineye.com, always ask to see girl on webcam, NEVER EVER send her money, buy her electronic ticket if she needs but NEVER send her money. The best thing to do is make a list of 10-20 girls you want to meet and plan a trip to ukraine-Ukraine is a beautiful and cheap country to visit after all. Sorry for the other reviewer's scammed buddy, but it is not a dating site's fault that some members are scammers. Before going into such sites people should visit scamorama.com and romancescam.com and memorize the common sense rules there.
