This site created a profile, without my knowledge. The first I knew of it was when I started receiving messages, writing to me by name.
I sent them a GDPR request, demanding to know how they obtained my details. So far, all they've done is to remove my account.
Stay Away!

I expect a commercial site to make money, but this site is greedy. If you try to send a girl your contact details, the site blocks it. The only way you'll get to meet your girl is to buy one of the site's expensive trips.
I met a girl on a free site, but she now only uses this site.
The reviews I've read, which say the girls are only interested in earning money for the site appear to be true.

Later (after UaDreams replied):

I find UADreams' reply to my previous remarks disingenuous. $6.99 to write a letter and THEN they delete it undelivered (but still take your money) is robbery.

Also the site's terms and conditions are buried at the bottom of a page, which keeps getting longer, with so-called "new" girls. I couldn't get to the bottom to read the terms and conditions. The only way I could see that they are there are at all is by holding down the "page down" button.

I was writing to someone, who was on another site. She now says "she doesn't want to visit that site to obtain my contact details. The conclusion I draw is that she's not genuinely seeking a relationship, but paid by UADreams to con people into paying for video chats.

Stay away.

Dear Norman,
We appreciate your remarks and opinion on the matter but we want to stress that our anti-scam policy in regards to personal contacts exchange between our members before their meeting in real life is aimed at protecting both our male and female members, because it is impossible for us to see the real intentions of people and without their actual meeting they are also not able to estimate their partner's intentions either. As for the actual meeting arrangements, we should mention, that the members are not obliged to purchase trip packages with us. The packages are meant to help our members with all the necessary trip arrangements, when traveling to Ukraine, we help with organization of accommodation, translation, mobile phone with local SIM-card, air tickets, transfer from the airport and around the city or country and many other questions that necessarily arise in that process and all need to be dealt with in advance and during the trip. So you will not to worry about all the arrangements' things and be sure you will be well taken care of and in absolute safety during the whole trip.

With respect,
UaDreams staff

Moneynotion Limited staff are great people for insurance, mortgages and financial advice.

Really committed and knowledgeable staff, who will go the extra mile for a loyal client.

They are completely independent of all ties to insurance companies, lenders and savings products too, so you get a view of what they would buy if they were in your shoes.

Willing to work on a fee basis and charge you net of commission if you wish, so they've no axe to grind in their recommendations.

Don't forget though that they will do a proper job of advising you, without cutting corners (unless you want them cut); so if you buy more product, you should expect to pay more. But stay loyal to them and they will make sure you get value for money.

Site has good security.

If you make any alteration to your profile, it is suspended till it's been reviewed. New profiles are moderated too. E-mail addresses or direct contact information on your profile result in a warning first time and deletion of your profile if you do it again. As a result there are very few scammers or false profiles.

Scammers are dealt with quickly and customer service always replies.

You can see when your messages to others have been read.

One word of warning; in general Polish women have very fixed ideas of what they want, so you may not receive many replies if you try to contact women who don't fit the criteria stated in their profiles.

1 Good point; I've met 3 very genuine and nice ladies from this site.
2 You have to be VERY careful: if you join here. For example, never give out your e-mail address or IM id too quickly. Many scammers want to go to IM or e-mail immediately on trivial excuses, such as, "I won't be on this site long," the reason being that they know the site owners are going to kick them off. Most profiles are free, so there is no reason for a woman to leave the site quickly.
3 The site owners don't give a bugger about you! They usually don't answer e-mail. They allow scammers kicked off today to come back on tomorrow. There is no moderation of profiles when they come on, so scammers are back sometimes the same day as they are kicked off! For example, I complained yesterday that a photo of the same girl appeared on 2 different profiles and that both profiles were on-line at the same time. In other words two different people are using the same girl's photos. Today the same girl's photos appears on 4 different profiles, all on-line at the same time!

It's a shame, because there are some, but not many, genuine people on this site.

I have wondered if the site owners are part of the scams, as there seems to be no other good reason why they should upset their paying customers.

So be very wary...
