I have been on this site since April and had a variety of experiences, although none of them positive beyond some enjoyable conversations. This site is designed to generate revenue. And it is not alone in that. I suggest that you capture profile images from any of the women and reverse image them using the website pimeyes.com. You will see the identical profile photos in several sites, so the they are casting a wide net here. I have been helping a young woman claiming to be in Ukraine with her work situation. When I scanned her photos in Yandex, I discovered the images were taken from a social media site and the imaged person is actually in another country at the moment and not responsible for the content on j4l. Thus this profile is the front for a catfish. Now, why read the Risk Notice? 1. the site states that you may not be talking with the person who you think you are, that is the person in the profile. They use the excuse of translators, but that is just a cover. 2. while the site offers camera content of the women in chat mode, the site states that it is possible that the videos are pre-recorded, something they claim they cannot control or discern. That being the case then, it is also possible that during chat time, you are still communicating with someone other than the person in the profile. And 3. Most important is the site's admission that revenue sharing is provided as an incentive to generate more income for the site. Thus it is in the women's best interest to keep conversations going. For some, it took several weeks for them to stop writing to me after I had dropped them from my letters. Since I have been deceived already by more than one woman on this site, it is impossible to believe that any of them are sincere. They persist in their requests for real meetings, but I have found that most will not share their contact information, and if they do, they seem unable to communicate with you for one reason or another using any apps such as Telegram or WhatsApp. And of course, the phone number provided is never already part of an account on any of these apps. Still, I feel sad for the women on the site. I think for many it may be their only source of income during the war, since many are unemployed at the moment. So if you enjoy having pleasant chats with someone who may or may not be the person in the profile, go ahead and support the Ukraine economy.

Somehow I stumbled upon this site after leaving Matchtruly. The setup is identical to the Matchtruly site, and in fact you will see some of the same profiles on both. It's very expensive to chat on this site. Videos especially should be avoided. Anyway, out of curiosity and despite the red scam flags, I decided to give this one a test run. As for Matchtruly, one needs to spend a certain number of credits on a woman to acquire her contact information. I achieved this with the first woman who initially claimed she had no access to her emails but subsequently borrowed a phone to read them. Since then, she is online on this site and largely ignores emails. Communication plummeted upon leaving the site, just as it did with Matchtruly. The second woman refuses to provide contact information, claiming she had a bad experience with a man and is not ready to share the information. I don't expect that will change. I got a similar run around from a third woman, who did agree to release her contact information but always reverts to the website and doesn't use email unless prompted to do so. Overall, the women seem to be real and are fun to chat with, but don't expect that the chat will lead to anything. This site is a total bust in my opinion. If you don't have the money to waste, you may be more likely to hit the jackpot in the lottery with the funds than score on this site.

With time on my hands during the pandemic and no place to go for entertainment, I thought I would look at some of the dating sites but was forewarned about the various scams used on these sites. Having tired of US sites which are riddled with fake profiles, I turned to MatchTruly, which offers model caliber women who are supposedly seeking "soul mates" with foreign addresses. From the first posting of my profile, the number of young women interested in a 60-year-old was almost alarming. I settled upon a small number in an effort to sort out the reality of the profiles and the extent of their interest. I have since deleted my profile but over the course of a year now, managed to spend sufficient credits to acquire the contact information for nearly a dozen women. What I have concluded largely comports with the postings of others here. The chat was entertaining and I believe that in general the women were real, as I could often get photos taken when asked. The patterns of chat however were quite similar. The women all send videos, which I stopped watching due to cost, and often letters, which I refused to answer except in chat text, again due to cost. They would also request photos, which still required credits but not an outrageous number. Then would come the requests for costly gifts usually beginning with massive bouquets of roses and perfume at four times the cost in the US. The most creative woman informed me that sending a sticker would elicit a vibration on her phone, which she would then use to stimulate herself. She was eventually thrown off the site but re-emerged under another name. Once I established contact with these women offsite, they would email once or twice and then, as others have mentioned, would complain about their internet connections and then only chat on the MatchTruly site. The last woman I met on the site was very convincing in her desire to chat offsite and meet me. We did connect several times by email but once I removed my profile from the site, she and all the others stopped communicating completely through their contact information and no longer respond to my emails. So yes, I am in agreement with all the others here. The site is a scam. The women are likely subcontracted and paid a percentage of what they bring in, although this is speculation. I am now inclined to believe as another poster suggested that the contact information is generated by the MatchTruly site and likely regulated there as well. My advice to anyone interested in the site is to steer clear unless you just want to have some fun and get an ego boost because the women only provide a fantasy.
