My verdict after a year of using Charmdate: it's total fraud! I had been in a close contact with many girls for a year until I finally left the site. Now I'm convinced that pretty much all of them were scammers. I had not met any of them! All of them suddenly came up with some kind of excuse in the last minute as to why they couldn't have a real meeting with me. Bullsh*t! It can't be a coincidence when I had 4 dates on

After using it for 3 months only. Can you explain the difference? There is just one realistic explanation: Charmdate women were fakes and scammers.

Its a definite scam I have stopped paying on the site but have just received a free introductory letter from a 25 year old calling herself Valeria from Luhansk who claims to have a higher education in the field of medicine. Very dubious to start with until the same lady sent a very similar letter but now with a law degree and called Lera on a different site - yet both sites say they have verified the information. This misinformation (probably all untrue) is very typical of Charming Date ladies and it is impossible to find a real woman prepared to meet.

They just try and scam older men into thinking a young smoking hot Ukrainian woman what us, Then they want hundreds of dollars to be able to talk to them. The girls are actors that get half of the money collected, If anyone wants a Ukrainian woman then fly to Kiev and go look for yourself,

You will see that none of the smoking hot young women want you!

Total scam. I tracked down 3 women on other social media sites, 2 of them had boyfriends and were all over the world on Instagram. The other on VK was actually from Russia and claimed to be Ukrainian.

All were models/actresses, all were just getting paid.

The girl on VK promptly blocked me when I reached out to her, even though we had traded several emails on charmdate.com

Total fraud. Total scam.

Of course, now the company is balking at refunding me. Going to go through the CC company.

From the first couple of online chats I realized that it is a scam because the lady did not sound logic or reasonable! For such scam sites, you can get refund from your credit company if you paid by credit card, by DISPUTING the payment as a FRAUD. Many credit companies will refund you.

Many of the women are on VK (The russian equivalent of facebook) and you can find them by googling their pictures. I created a VK account contacted over 40 women and only one replied. She told me she would only talk to me on Charmingdate. Others ignored me or blocked me. So my current policy is to post the pictures such women send to me (not their profile pics but the ones they gave me) on my VK account along with the letter they sent to me and identify on my VK account that they either blocked me or ignored 3 or more letters over a months time. Since VK identifies when a person last visited their account you know when you are being ignored and they are not just away from VK. Such public revelations should provide a minimal cost to those women abusing men on Charming Date. I will not post them if they write back to me and we agree together that there is no reason to go forward. I will post them if I have a sense that they are playing games with me.

You want a good idea of what is going on with charmdate? On VK, if you look up Dating (using Ukraine country filter) you can find romancecompass.com, j4l.com, charmdate.com post to hire ladies to work for them. Typically any site that has live video and popups are paying the girls to talk to you. The girls do learn to talk dirty and do other things to increase your attention to them for more pay. Are there honest girls, that want marriage, sure. Can you find this one out of 100's that are paid, not likely. On one of these sites (Ladadate) I made friends with several of the girls, still friends with them outside of the site of course. Of them (4 in total) only one is actually looking for a relationship, but not international. For them, the pay is high and excellent, if the job is disgusting. So, scam, mostly.

I just would not trust Charming Date. There are some sites out there whereas you may meet a decent Ukrainian woman, but you are going to have to show that your interest is geniune. It is like they watch ya;.'

As for Charming Date (sheesh), make TWO profiles, and if you can go online with both of them at the same time, you will be surprised at how much information you will glean. The same woman telling you she loves you and all that crap, will be saying the same thing to your other profile and maybe at the same time. I would not trust Charming Date. They have a reputation as one of the WORSE sites of all in regards to honesty. I am sure there are some women there that are honest, but they are pissed because most guys do not come at them as true gentlemen. When you see a woman online everyday, but is supposed to have a job, something is not adding up. Ukrainian women do think that western men will get them in a nice house, buy them nice clothes (dresses) and support, protect them. While all she will commit to is being a good submissive wife. You have to "hang" around different sites for awhile and you will come across some women who's intentions are serious. But if they have signed a contract with a dating service, they want her to make them money by being online, replying to every Tom, $#*! and Harry who sends them any kind of letter, and when that happens, you are not getting a true view of an Ukrainian woman in my opinion. The Dating Sites are so crooked, and the Western side of it can deny all claims because the agents who get the girls are over in Ukraine and Russia... No rules or laws governing this stuff., See what I mean? Be prepared to spend at least a year of just "finding out" what the country of Ukraine is all about, learn cyrillic, learn a few of their words and repeat them to a woman you have met,. Lyubov, obiymiy, potsilunky. That means Love, Hugs, Kisses. That will usually get you some honesty out of whoever you are trying to communicate with.

I know a guy, who was talking to this one who was from one of the crooked sites. He spent hundreds chatting and sending her emails. Then he realized, she was lying all along. Not that he cared though, because it was unnecessary. So he broke up with her. He said he got online the VERY NEXT DAY, with a new I.D., and she was the FIRST woman to send him a letter talking about how alone she has been (LOL!).

Get in there and work your games because there are a lot of games being played. When you meet a REAL one, you will KNOW. There are a couple of sites that you can really FIND out if they are lying. These sites have LIVE video-chat, and you see HER HOME. If you are on a video chat, and the home looks like it is for the wealthy,,,., its a prop or stage that the site sets up to get your money.

That is all they want, your money. You want a real Ukrainian woman, you have to FIND her among all the fakes and contracted out women.

A real woman will send you pictures of herself without make-up on. With her family, her dog, sitting by her computer, just things you would expect naturally. If she is always made up, new dress, photo shopped skin to make it look flawless all the time, smiling all the time like she does not have a worry in the world... BEWARE. These people have problems like everyone else and are very aware of their countries situation. Some will talk to you about it, or ask you what you hear from this side of the world. Some lean on you because they do not trust what they hear there. Yet, I have told them not to take what I tell them from here as gospel truth. Those are the kind of situations you want to be in, you are probably talking to someone who is geniune.

Well, I will be gone for another 8 or 9 months. I am working on another site, and boy... that is all I am going to say!

Go for it man, you can find what you want to know!

This is 100% scam. Do not waste your money! The women are not real. If you spend money to write an email, your probably writing to a man. Forget it!

Not worth your money. I never found a real woman. Someone will make a lot of money from the site and you will not find anyone to date. It's a scam. When a site charges by email, it is a scam. The cost to translate per email is very little compared to what they charge. Don't waste your money even for a few credits. Any site associated with qpidnetwork.com like charmingdate.com, IdateAsia.com, Latamdate.com, are scams!

Hi Tim,
The answer to your question: Yes, the site is real. It's a real scam site that cannot be stopped by laws. I will save money and go to there in person in this summer. It is cheaper. If you are looking for a Chinese or a Latina, then you might have more chance to find a real woman. If you are looking for a Russian, you have almost zero chance. Let's go to Russisa together. If you are interested, let me know.
Please don't deposit your money into your account.
Cheers,
Max

Min mening om Charmingdate er at det er en pengemaskine som ikke giver seriøse resultater, jeg har anvendt dette Websted i fire år, og jeg tror mange piger er betalt af Charmingdate for at skrive til mænd så de kan stjæle folks penge, direkte personlig mail kontakt kan man ikke få, de sletter alt om mail kontakt, skype, telefon, useriøst selskab efter min mening...
