Complete scam. A simple way to prove it is to copy and paste the woman's photo into Google images and get Google to find that lady on other websites (usually under a different alias). You'll be surprised at what turns up. If people won't do it, I guess they don't want their fantasy broken.

Let me get right to the point. Yes, I was a member and I would NEVER attempt this if I was given advice like this. DO NOT attempt this as you will waste a lot of time and money. You have to make a decision with yourself that you are dealing with someone that does not speak english and you will be supporting her and do to have the same life style as you are currently use to. Someone told me are you "Are you that sick and tires of American women?" my answer was "NO". So you have to ask yourself the same thing and just stick with the beautiful women we have here. Best of luck!

CharmDate is a complete rip off. They accelerate the clock on video chats and most women are imposters working for marriage agencies. I wasted allot of money going to Thailand to meet a woman and she made up many excuses when I arrived. Never did meet her. Some other sites are just as risky because the agencies write the letters. I met two women in Kiev, both registered to A Foreign Affair web site and they told me they never wrote any of the letters. Due to the war in the East and an economy that is falling apart I think many women do dishonest things to survivie and this dating industry is big business in Ukraine. Been to Ukraine 15 times and almost each time it was a waste of time and money. Never going back. If a man does find a good woman he is very lucky.

Hi, yes the site is real but just have your thinking head on and dont be misled by a woman who is 18 wanting someone who old enough to be her grandpa, im sure you know what i mean. There are some fake girls on here just as there are on any other site. Ask lots of questions and try to find out things as to where she works an then get her to send you a photo of her at the place of work showing the name of her work or get her to do something which you have asked her to do then you will know it is actually her your speaking to. I have been with Elina now for about 18 months and all is well and we hope to marry soon, she is 35yrs and im 48yrs.The only thing with charmdate is the cost, they are extremely expensive, so limit your time in chat etc and dont call her through the system, its best to try to get her away from the site if you can the call her okay. Your probably going to have to send her and recieve around 10 letters each to be able to get her details. I did that and only asked for 1 piece of info and that was here email and then once we left she felt so much more free and the relationship just went from good to fantastic. Anyway hope this helps, good luck and dont be sucked in be very good looking ladies wanting a guy who could be their grandpa okay.

I really can't answer that since I was never a member but looking at the site I can see it has all
The earmarkings of a business just looking to cash in on lonely guys looking for beautiful European women. If you have to pay for each letter and pay to send a letter your screwed because then 99% of time it is a scam. The company along with quite a few other companies hire these beautiful women just to talk to these guys. Heres how it goes, they read an ad about making good money at a day job about meeting new people these women are offered free photo shoots " That's why these women all look like supermodels because they all had there photos professionally done. Then they are trained to talk to the men on these sites how to never go offline how to keep them paying. Its a scam can't you see it. If you ask these women to go offline and talk to you over the phone even when you have been talking to them for a while. They will deny you why? Because they want to make money for the site.
Then they taint up the web with fake positive
Reviews. That's another thing I notice the names
Of the guys giving the so called positive reviews
Are very generic like almost made up like " John Smith", etc. If you are going to use this site or any site that employs pay per letter don't look
For anything serious unless you want a little
Online companionship. Lawrence if you have Alot of money then I'd say you have a good chance as well because that's another thing
These women look at not just real world women
But then again who knows they'll probably suck you dry without ever meeting you. Its a shame you can't find love anymore. There was a time when you could go to any dating site and find
A decent woman but not anymore they have become a breeding ground for scammers.
I am not basing it from my experience I look at the thousands of horror stories I see everyday.
There was even an incident where a 70 year man
Hung himself because he spent his life savings
Because one of these lowlifes took him to the cleaners. God I swear I get so mad when I hear that. Well if you got anymore questions hit me up
Ok? Good luck.

I traveled to Kiev at christmas for three weeks and this girl I was planning on seeing came up with every excuse possible to not meet up. I decided while I was there to communicate with a couple of others. Once they realized I was actually there, they all of sudden where leaving town to visit family. And there are some interested but the Web site will hose you for a lot of money while their telling the girl the more he pays the more he loves you. If every girl met someone at this site they would be out of business. The girls make a good living keeping you interested and a large percentage aren't sure if they want to leave. It's a nice country and women are in excellent shape everywhere. While I was in Kiev for three weeks I found lots of restaurants and bars to meet good looking woman who spoke English. I wouldn't do the Web thing again, especially outside north america. I would travel to Kiev again or Oddessa in the summer.
