Correction of what I wrote upthread--

It turns out that they did not give me her address.  They did give me her name, and I found her on V Kontakte.  So far she has not returned my hello to her, but I cannot read Cyrillic so I am not sure I even sent it to her.

They gave me her complete name, but the address they gave me is that of the agency.  So, foiled again.  I think the only way to be successful at this is to live over there for awhile and avoid the agencies.  Just meet people in person and take it from there.  If the odds are 90% against you, it's too much like Vegas!

Dear Brasscasing,

Making an accusation is very serious.
Everything I write here can be read by the defendants.
So I believe that only speak from what I can prove.
With evidence or witnesses.
I never hide my head under the wings.

Your questions ...
Before, when someone wrote 16 letters to Anastasia, the agency facilitated the personal data of the girl.
From there,
a) Why not arrange a meeting directly with the girl?
b) Why not buy flowers or a gift ODESSA stores?
c) Why not hire an apartment in Kiev or L'VIV?
d) Why not find an interpreter in place of the appointment?

I'm too young. Find a girlfriend from 18 to 27 years is
more or less normal.
 
Furthermore, I recommend that you set in the profiles of the girls. 99.99% of the candidates seeking exchanges with men 50 to 75 years.
When I've met a few girls during my several trips to Ukraine, I have demonstrated that they support age differences of up to 15 years.
They are mature early.

Sincerely.

John,
Let me begin with this question: why are you making this thing out to be a cluster :censored: ?

I laughed and I laughed again and I stopped (is that how you spell it? I stopped again and asked myself, are you hearing me? I'm glad we had this little talk) NOW do you feel better? Seriously, do you feel better? Best policy is find out for yourself and get back to me when you can party on sir
love, charlie

JP, You have made some 9 postings more or less all complaining about 1st International/Anastasia.

Why not introduce your self, we might have a better idea of who you are and what you are looking for.

If this is not your style we understand. AvHdB

18 + 15 = 33.

18 + 15 = 33.

27 + 15 = 42 is also possible.
(He didn't write that every girl would accept a 15-year age gap.)

This whole story of yours is really getting a bit beyond the pale now...

None of this answers anything I've asked you.  Further, your English appears to improve or decline as needed.

As I mentioned up thread there is a difference beween an unsuccessful/unsatsfied customer and a scam. You fall into the former and for whatever reason are now trying to suggest that you've been scammed.

You've mentioned helping others. You're going to need to be a lot more forthcoming and truthful with your narratives if helping is your intention.

Before I write, I read the title of this forum.
ANASTASIA IS SCAM OR REAL?

I'll tell you a real story.
At that time, I had written about ten letters to Helen.
She had created its listing in February 2009.
Their pictures I had seen dozens of times.
One day I was watching other profiles on Anastasia.
I was shocked to see the same photos in another profile Helen
which had been set six months later.
In this case, opening a letter cost three times more than the profile of Helen.
The cover photograph was different,
For several days I watched the evolution of this profile ..
This was to be open the same days and at a similar time that the profile of Helen. He was doing the same.

I informed the agency of my discovery.
That other card was removed immediately.
They did not give me any explanation.


Greetings to all.

I have been visited by an intruder on my computer!

I just don't get why some guys are still using this scam agency after being taken. There are more than enough threads here on this forum and many others stating to stay away from pay-per-letter/credit type sites. I used Anastasia for almost 2 years and it was a complete waste of money. I moved over to a monthly pay site and now I'm working on my fiance's K1.  Your odds of finding a real lady interested in just you on this site are miniscule. Just move on.....

For the same reason that some people can not stay away from a casino.

I don't think itS more about addiction than it is about accepting the fact that they were taken for a ride. Maybe they just can't accept it and think they can make this work. Also, the fantasy of a 18-19 yr old showing "interest" in them may also play a part. I know I was caught in that web for a time. LOL

As a former user of pay-per-letter site I can say the reason for that is the absent of dates within the country, and the fact that in online personals no one writes you and or interested in you (unless you are quite attractive) and sadly when you past certain age your dating pool shrinks and get dry.
