RussianCupid

So after communicating with mostly fakes, and sending hundreds of messages back and fourth during a three month period, I can truly say that somewhere around 96% to 98% of the female profiles are 100% fake. 160+ messages, and only two real interactions (confirmed with video calls), which unfortunately where just Ukrainian girls who seemed to be taking advantage of the war situation, saying how bad their lives where and asking that you send money.

I would recommend avoiding this site at all costs, as it is a big waste of time and money.
Well, unless you are really into such?

I've been into said dating site for a week now as Im writing this review and opted to end my 1 month paid membership with them. I say Russian Cupid is a total scam because most profiles of women there are fake. At first, I was bombarded with messages from beautiful women that really sounded true enough. And then they asked for my email address so that, according to them, we can communicate instantly and share photos. Later on, I learned that through my email they sent me a link asking me to sign up for another dating sites which are too costly and will definitely drain off your credit card. Almost all women profiles I encountered there do the same to defraud you. And when you ask them if you can see each other via video calls in order to verify authenticity or ask them to provide new photos of them via email, they simply stop chatting with you. RC is a total scam the same as 'Dream Singles', 'Love Is', 'Truly Russians', among others.

The website has real girls..., unfortantly some will try to scam... The best thing for you to reduce getting asked for money is put it in your profile and basically say "Will not pay anyone under any condition." I can assure you that 70% of the scammers will not bother with you... the 30% are just bots that constantly create new accounts to try and scam only to have there account terminated lol. Avoid anyone living in "GHANA." (That's in africa btw.)

We need to get the word out that Putin killing babies and women, civilians, in the Ukraine, these greedy bastards here won't even allow you to put photos of War. To show the Russian people that they are that there is a war, their relatives are killing people in the Ukraine, don't sponsor these $#*!s

I started communicate on this site in january of 2018. Since then i met too many men, probably i was talking with about 100 people or more. I can say, maybe 1% could match exactly for me, but for different reasons it didn't happen. I met even one mentally sick man with narcissistic destroyed personality, unfortunately we can't be secure from different rubbish on the dating site. And yes, some men were nice, some men were not (rarely). Some of them just didn't match with my let's say list of qualities. But it DOESN"T MEAN that all people are fake there or garbage. Understand this, you will get whatever you beleive in.
Finally after a few months of very hard work, when i already totally felt tired and sick from all this crap i met MY PERSON, my soulmate. He found me.
So, dear men, don't be scared to write directly to lady, don't just send her 'like' and wait. I nearly missed my loved Man! If i didn't liked his profile in answer (i never did it before, i was getting thousands likes!), he would not write me! I feel terrified even from the thought that we could not meet because of this stupid mistake.
My Man came to meet me in Russia after a few weeks communicating through whatsapp, skype, endless video and audio calls. Since he met me, he just never let me go.
I wish and hope every decent person to meet his/her the dearest one and was able to keep it happy and healthy.
Beleive in your dream! Never give up!

So turned out the scammers from Ukraine are using this site to get money and gifts from men and to make less competition they block accounts of real Beautiful women with legit accounts. Keep away from them!

I am a full paid premium member of Russian Cupid (RC) and can attest to the legitimacy of the complaints by others who described the women's accounts to be artificial or out right fraudulent. When signing up initially as a free standard user, I was receiving messages that I was not allowed to read unless I became a paid member. Of course, I made the gamble and placed a bet that maybe RC is genuine. Wrong! Those messages are script greetings with superficial content. As soon as you reply with direct and pointed questions to the user who sent the message, then you don't get a response. This happens frequently because they don't know how to answer since it is not part of their scripted conversation.
My real regret is not having discovered SiteJabber to read the reviews of other members about RC before signing up. It would have saved me money and the frustration of dealing with the con artists and players.
**************************************
This is an update to my original post. Don't be fooled, this is an alert that RussianCupid have renamed themselves EuroCupid, but the web address is still written as Russian Cupid. Most likely, they changed their name because of all the bad reviews they have been receiving.

Lots of fake profiles. The typical game is you get emails of pretty girls who have sent you a message. Just wait a couple of hourse and their profile gets "switched off". For a long time I was wondering what was going on but I realized that these profiles are most likely not real and this is a game to entice you to become a paid member. So, I did not sign up to become a paid member. Be aware what you are getting into.

Real women also exist. There are also many fakes. Woman listening to an e-mail address immediately is a fake. You should always communicate on the site for several days. The fake woman is switched off soon, so you can see it soon

I am communicating with multiple woman with whatsapp and viber in this way. I also video-chatted to confirm with real woman

Russiancupid is a site plenty of beautiful slavic girls and women, but I only received messages from average or poor attractive women, even overweights and uglies. Beautiful girls not interested in my profile, when I sent messages to hotties they ignored me or even some girls blocked me. Only received messages from average/ugly women.

I'm not ugly, I'm handsome and athletic, sportist man (work as model)... it's incredible

The site does restrict photos uploaded. I cannot blame them, some of the stupid stuff people up load especially for a dating site is amazing. In effect you can only upload pictures of you without animal, and with clothing on. This is a very good thing. Down side is if you have a have dog or pet, or hobby is horseback riding, no pictures of that. However read on.

It is very much just okcupid.com with an international focus. There are many scammers on the site. Mostly women profiles, but I have heard of a few bad men on the site. Russiancupid does not monitor who joins and you can report scammers. But it is far to easy to sign up for a free account. You have to paid for the site if you want two way communication. Free accounts cannot communicate with each other, which is the best way to filter out the scammers on the site.

It is fully IMBRA compliant, but I do not think that it even needs to be, as it operates much like a USA dating site would. It really does not have any customer service to speak of.

Russian Cupid is horrible. Of 14 profiles I communicated with every one was a fake. I don't know if it is employees of the site but total time waste.

They said more than 1000 active members online I communicate 30 members. Zero reply. This mean all fake

This site has numerous fake profiles. There is not way they could possibly be verified. So it is obvious this website is involved in this scam. They put fake profiles of beautiful Instagram looking models. They then intentionally take the customer off the site with personal made up emails. There they send fake photos with lengthy made up personal sad stories about their plight in Ukraine or Russia. It is same or similar sob story. They are poor and can't afford a phone or need a visa permit. Anything to get you to pay them money. And even though these are all professional models and photos, amazingly none of them have phones for a video chat and none of them have social media accounts. Even though the profile photos look like they were stolen right off an Instagram model account. Total bs. And for the website to constantly say they are not part of it, after many many times, leads to only one conclusion. It is them. They are doing this for sure. If they were an American company, they would be sued for fraud and shut down. But they are overseas in Australia and can't be touched. How convenient. Total fraud. These poor poor girls have no phones, no money, no social media. Give me a break!

Beside the fact that most of the profiles are practically bots their customer service is the worst seen so far. They won't accept photos because they say it's not clear enough but you can see many other profiles where you can barely see the person or not at all!

I was so many times contacted to become a premium member and paid finally £35 for one month since then suddenly my search filter does not work, and I became a bunch of none sense mails those who never react on direct questions but write always almost the same text pronely from 5 different girls from 3 different country almost the same text to keep me think I am dealing with real person. Many mails I wrote to admin, and they always said for the moment we have this issue but as I finally asked how does it come that from all big Russia or Ukraine not even one of those women I got mail from are not online? No answer yet. Or I see the women are green status which means they are online but when I ask them something although in their mail they were totally interested to know me more but no reaction come. As a premium member I was told I can get their mail or even phone number or chat on cam if I become premium member but the son of B... admin never answer why never even one lady is online when ever I am online to chat. It is the biggest scum website I was member by now. F.the £35 hard worked money and F…the Russian cupid.com

I have been a member there for a longer time and have had mixed experiences - good and bad. The Cupid network contains niche sites for Latin, Asian, African, Russian, Ukraine and International Dating

What I have learned... and I speak from my personal experience and opinion only:
- Many profiles seem to be from real, legitimate women, but many are up only for a short period of time and even less profiles are verified / have the "Verified" seal
- I have made good experience with some ladies and profiles there - have them on FB now or somewhere else. But like on any "open" website with profiles and especially with those in Eastern Europe, there are many fake or not so serious - also women can be time-waisters
- I think it is not possible for the network / service provider to check every profile - but if you report some, unfortunately I had to do so in the past, they act very quickly and strict - these profiles are removed pretty soon
- I met a woman in personal from another dating site who even had 2 Platinum Membership on the network there but was a scammer - BUT after reporting my story she got removed immediately on both sites despite her platinum membership
- dont believe any mail immediately, many profiles are reported within hours and are then removed, disabled, etc
- if a profile has no picture, is new and you get a message you should contact them directly via email --> forget about it, in 99% it is scam. These profiles typically disappear within 24hours
- if a woman looks too good to be true, then be careful and if it is a new profile wait 24hours - if it is still up chances are better
- still sometimes there seem to be profiles who message you or show interest to just have you upgrade your membership - this is a subjective impression though - but this experience I even made on other big global players

Through time I started virtually (unwillingly) testing many online dating platforms and still have my profiles on the network - sometimes only upgrade for a month.

You can cancel your membership right afterwards as it is a recurrent payment but your membership is still active and you can use all features of the choses package.

Conclusion: Like most international dating sites with open registration, there are good and bad ones. Dont judge any in general - just ask yourself if it is realistic. Follow basic rules:
- use your brain and stay realistic
- if it sounds too good to be true it is not true: like a 24yr old playboy model falling in love with you on the second message
- dont fall in love with pictures
- go for Skype or WhatsApp/Viber

As always I say: this is a personal opinion and experience, read them and choose the information you want from it - then, make up your own mind

I am certain that the Paid friendly neighborhood customer representative from RussianCupid will swing by with their "We are sorry" remarks to distract others away from their wickedness but let me share my Truthful experiences:

Issues with RussianCupid:
1. I asked them to remove someone from the site which they "claim" they take "very seriously" but Failed to do so. It seems they take "very seriously" lying to you.
2. I get a message from someone on RussianCupid who says they are "very interested" in me. Great and so I decide to message them back. When I message them back I get no response. Absolutely None. So I keep on messaging them back and No Response But their status shows that they are Online and Active. That is a clear sign that there are Fake Profiles at work on the site. Again the lying customer representatives will have you believe otherwise. The lying customer service representative who likes to put their Nasty spin on things will say otherwise or tell you to go talk about this issue with their "Help Desk." No you lying Customer Service Representative I am going to talk about this issue with others in the World and let them see who you All really are.

3. They ask you to pay to read messages sent to you. Fair enough but what has annoyed me is that they encourage you to join their "Other" member sites such as Japan Cupid or Muslima or Thai Cupid or whatever and when you have Paid money to read your letters on Russian Cupid and you Join these other sites and you think that Now your payment will be transferable and will allow you to ALSO Read Other letters on the other sites they Catch you by telling you that you have to Pay to Read letters on Each of the member sites that you are on. Like What the... This made me Angry because I was looking at other member sites and wanted to correspond with others on the other member sites. Plus I was not told that BEFORE that I had to pay separately for Each site they encouraged me to go on. This my friends is called Deceptive Advertisement which Cupid media seemingly is good at.
4. Finally RussianCupid and Cupid Media as a whole is Not 100% Hacker Proof. In 2013 A Hack at Cupid Media exposed more than 42 million passwords, names, Email addresses and birthdays for Hackers to use according to the cybersecurity watchdog site krebsonsecurity. It can happen again and that is the scary and frightening reality where much more can potentially be taken this time. Regardless IF the 2013 issue was resolved or not that a lying customer representative will tell you the fact remains: It Can Happen Again.

Question: Well what about the "Success Stories"? Well what about them? Is Russian Cupid or anyone from the Cupid Media company with Any of these people 24 hours a day? 100% NO. So we don't know if anyone got divorced or separated or died but All we have are pictures on their sites that capture just a moment in time that can change later on. I know of one American guy who married a Russian woman from a dating site and talked about how he was so much "in love" with her but 13 years later he said she was one of the worst people he had ever met because her attitude had turned rotten and he was now divorcing her. There are Success stories that can turn out to be Failure stories later on but we are not here to look at that.

So let us forget the "Success Stories" and look at the functioning of the site. The site is Pretending to function in a Proper way when it is NOT clearly doing so and that is what matters the most.

Note: Expect a Cupid Media representative to Lie being the Paid liars that they are because they do not want to lose their job and say otherwise to calm fears and say "everything is alright" in their usual lying tone or come up with some kind of Excuse but that is what they are being Paid for so remember that. An Excuse is Always Comfort For A Fool. Let common sense prevail and disregard what they are saying. We who have common sense and proper intelligence are waiting on you the friendly neighborhood Cupid Media representative and we will no longer buy into your lies that you want to spread or sell us nor have swallow down our throats.

Profiles that show interest or send you messages vanish one by one, all in a short period of time. Now, if there were scammers then you might say that is even a good thing but something else is going on. Women with very pleasant conversation, no requests for money anything... vanish. Their profiles and all. Emails in inbox even dimish by 50% in a day. The site is either sending messages from fake profiles to have you let your guard down but they only have so many canned messages to send or they are deleting profiles of sincere members making communication a waste of time and destroying any potential or for some reason people are deleting their profiles by the grove every day, even though the woman aren't paying. Either way something is up. Didn't write them about this since even though they are a web company they only provide a mailing address and phone number under contact us.

Few days all just see Oysters same days now, yet nothing really other then maybe other app download or 2 Hangouts...

Fake profiles are used by stealing photos from Instagram.
If a girl can't be bothered to fill out a profile she is fake!
Many of the new profiles are created at the same time, using the same profile names and ages. For example I saw four "Marinas" created at the same time, all with same details, using the same stolen photos from Instagram.
When you complain to Russiancupid all you get is a pre-wrtten auto response.
Stay away

I used russiancupid for a while. Lot's of beautiful girls but i really doubt if they're real... several ladies talked to me on the site but refused to move on to skype or whatsup. Or maybe it's because they didn't really like me. Anyway, I had no luck on the site.

I have pay for my account. Platium membership. I have pay with PaySafeCard. And after a 2 days they close my account and they are not answers at costumers support. They ask me for a credit card photos, but I have pay with PaySafeCard and I like I have says I have write them for many times. Using also the link from here. Nobody answers.
