In last year have had three Profiles that I have written to many times and each turned up to be photos of either models or actresses in their country.
They never ask for money but refuse to communicate in any other form than this service. They want to carry on short chat like conversations that cost you for each message you send. If you use a online translator to bypass their high Translator fees the ladies complain they do not understand your message. Using Google Translator and translate back to English though sometimes funny would say 80-90% accurate.
I believe these ladies? Or whoever are simply paid portion of the standard message fee and perhaps % of high Translating fees if you use Multilingual service.
If writing Russian or Eastern Block lady sign up to Russian version of Face Book - called VK. Then use a related service call Find a Face - enter photo of lady and it searches its data base and will show 50 or more photos of similar looking woman. In one case same photos were on 30 different profiles with different names, locations and ages. Would never write anyone in Eastern Block again with running their photo through such database.
