I would like to hear from members who would help me bring Anastasia to the attention of the Maine Attorney General. They should be indicted for fraud in my opinion. Several men need to band together to make this happen. Anyone interested?

Read their Terms of Service very carefully before you do anything that could place you at the wrong end of a countersuit.

Tony Bochene,author of "The Foreign Bride guide ",and who worked for both Anastasia and AFA claims ( Mar 2012),that both companies are under investigation by six law-enforcement agencies.

The companies are under investigation for international conspiracy,racketeering,human trafficking,violation of foreign labour laws,tax evasion.

He fully expects people from these companies to be sent to prison.

These companies have power because "clients" give them money to communicate with girls. The biggest weapon against them is knowledge and education of the public of potential "victims". If potential users would know in advance what it's already known they wouldn't buy services. I don't think legal action is needed. Only education, and make the information available to ignorant who might be seduced.

As for AFA, I placed there ad some months ago and since then I receive several letters in a day. When I checked what it's all about, what girls see in my ad, I discovered that I even didn't upload pictures!

If one studies the women's profiles you will see many of the same "women" on both sites! Anastasia/1st International and AFA/Love Me. Write away!

Some girls appear on 20 different sites. Sometimes some details are different.

It's very common for the most popular profiles to be pirated. Some guys have joined lots of sites to try to find the genuine object of their infatuation. Unfortunately, the owner of the original profile had sometimes long since been married and moved away.

I suppose that that's one advantage of video chat: at least you know that she hasn't moved away yet.

I have seen a video tape being run continuously. Using a variety of tapes and updated from time to time.

One would hope that a guy could tell the difference between a live session and one that was prerecorded. If he can't, then it's probably for the best that he doesn't breed.

She might not have moved away.

Doesn't mean that she isn't married,and just video chatting to earn some money.

The only real benefit of video chat,is that at least you can see if she looks like her photo's. (:)

I might get to understand your sense of humour yet!

It can take a while and repeat visits to be sure if it is recorded.
Some of the guys( and even some girls!!) doing chat can be very clever -it would be a mistake to underestimate them.

If the video chat is :money: - there gone the genuine material.
