 One post from "Iloveukrayinkas" and one very good advertisement for USSR Star.  Even comes with directions on how to use the pay per letter site when on a budget. The flowers are a little expensive but hey, there worth it. Yup. Ok.

Hey guys, first post here.

So I basically wanted to say something about this ussr-star.com thing. I registered there awhile back, but I haven't used any money there. I just wanted to check out the girls and I did found one that I seem to share some interests with. But of course, I wasn't sure if this is a legit thing or just a scam.

So I did an image search with one of the photos of "my girl". I found her photo in few different places. One was some local Ukrainian modeling thing/competition (she finished 3rd if anyone's interested. haha) and the other thing was vk.com. If you're not familiar with vk.com, it's pretty much like facebook. It's very, VERY popular with eastern european people.

So anyway, everything matched. Name (even found out her last name), age, birthday, everything! So what I'm trying to say is, that if ussr-star really is a scam, there seems to be some real girls as well. I'm currently trying to get in touch with her through vk.com and ask some questions about ussr-star and see if it's really her there.

I'm NOT trying to promote that place. Just wanted to share my little "story".

And sorry for my english. I hope you get what I'm trying to say  :)

Haha, and no facetrock I'm not spamming. But the fact is that I haven't been able to reach out to this girl yet. She seems to be really popular on VK. Maybe there is something fishy going on? I don't know...

I'm currently trying to get in touch with her through vk.com and ask some questions about ussr-star and see if it's really her there.

As a person who was a victim of this I can tell you the whole scheme that is in fact quite plain.Yes, the data coincides with the data in the profile on USSR-Star. Just because those who steal the photos from vk. use it whole, not letting the woman know it. Just simply copy photos and personal data and create a profile on the dating site. I was surprised getting letters from foreign men in vk. who finally told me they found me on Ussr-star. By the way, later my photos from ussr-star and their twin brother Marmeladies.com were found on pornosites who even didn't care to remove water signs of Marmeladies site. That is it.Contact the girl in vk, but I really doubt she knows she is looking for somebody online :)

It's hard to admit publicly that you fell for yet another scam, but by doing so you are potentially saving others the same grief you are going through now. While it is unfortunate it cost you 53$ to do so, by exposing this scam site you have saved countless others from the same fate.

If I could afford it, I'd send you the 53$, but consider what you have done to help others by publicly admitting you were fooled. I know it hurts now, but even if one other person reads your warning, you have truly made the world a better place by sharing your experience.

Thank you.  :clapping:

Hello Barf, your sarcasm is appreciated...
(not!)

A little late for my response, yes, but I have been too busy with my life and still trying
dating local girls. I continued using the website in question but without spending any money
on credits.

I did find that this site has a twin website called toplop.com, which is actually cheaper to
use than this one. The interface is quite different and the pictures are in smaller size. It does
however feature other pictures not present in ussr-star.

Anyway, while continuing to use this website I found out it does use some sort of
automated introduction letters to user profiles just like Anastasia Rape.
In a couple of letters I found that it included some type of wildcard character to insert
the name of the user. (check the attached image for reference) Also, you can notice that
almost all of the letters that they send to you include your name in them. Taking the teachings of
Dale Carnegie a little bit too far maybe? This can also lead you to believe the introduction letters
are not even written by the girls themselves and it may be a way for the agency to make more
money out of the girls even if they are legit. But on the other hand and from an administrator
viewpoint, if you have thousands of profiles with high quality pictures taken to them, you would
find the way to recover your investment and exploit these profiles by using this type of doubtful
practice.

Another red flag that I found is that the website was registered or based from Belize city, Belize
which is considered to be a high risk country. So I don't know how they actually have 5K+ profiles
on their website if they are not Ukraine based.

There are a few reviews I've found on Google but no conclusive evidence that this is another scam
website.

Will keep you posted if I find something else.

Cheers!

I knew of SIX women that were 'registered' with this site and it's clones - many - who's photos were at least 6/7 years old.

My info is one and a half years old ..

I checked the ladies out on OK.ru and / or VKcom and not one of them knew who I was - they hadn't written to me - but the site wanted to charge me for 'their' letters.

I will not post the evidence, but if the owners of these scam sites wish to sue me  - I can prove all I said..

I have no interest in promoting one particular site - just pointing out one's that are a joke...... and not worthy of your hard earned cash

USSR-Star is comical , really, in their transparency.  I made a profile , with bare minimum info, no photo, no biographical writing about me, nothing. 

I receive letters each week, clearly indicating that they are form letters.  It is always about the same number of letters (57 to 62) each time, and some number of "kisses" (like winks or expression of interest on other sites).

One example:  Last time I got their summary email from them,  I had a very attractive 24yo from Kharkov write in the Subject: line "Hello ____! Look on my photos, in to my eyes...read my profile and write me because you are my man! I know it;) "

Very nice to look at, but 100% scam.

Anastasia wrote me 3 letters in February after I sent her a free kiss. I read but did not reply and deactivated my account. I open it again in Mai (ask me why...) and she wrote me twice again. I bought the minimum of credits and replied her.
She wrote me again. Then I remembered something from her messages back in February that didn't match what she just wrote me. Could she have make this mistake? haha.

-Anastasia, message No.1, February 13:
"...I also love pets very much but I never had one..."
-Anastasia, message No.4, May 25:
"...I have a cat..."
-Me, message No.2, May 27:
"How long do you have this cat?"
-Anastasia, message No.5, May 27:
"... dog... love for pets... I have a cat, I have him for two years already..."

End of the experience.

a few days back i joined this site called USSR-STAR.com. i have been receiving letters and virtual kisses from females members registerd in that site ever since. they are beautiful and quite model like. i need ur advise that is this website a good one just as elenas models? or is it another scam filled site?

After being with a Russian woman for 3 years, and after trying my level best to save our relationship; after trying to stand by her in every situation trying to save her in every way a man could possibly save a woman; after trying hard to understand what could go wrong; I have only this much to say-----she came out to be a gold digger. And this allegation I am making after duly analysing all clues for 13 months after her betrayal and elopement. So please beware if you are going for a russian woman.

folks....i met her in facebook in 2012 dec. she came to my country in 2013 may. we started a living in relationship. it all ended in 2015 nov. DONT FALL FOR RUSSIAN WOMEN....basically they are all after money. Russian economy is in doldrums. These girls are after money only...and they dont mind if they have to sleep with some one while earning money. However the problem happens when their partners (in my case it was me) fall for their innocent faces.

I’m going to give you the very dubious benefit of my advice.

I think you’ll find the percentage of FSU women who would be willing to marry a Bengali and move to Calcutta to be a relatively low number, so your chances of finding success with individual FSU women will as a consequence not be very encouraging.

Instead of pursuing individual women, my recommendation is to post your profile on a web site like mamba.ru.  In America we have a saying about trying an un-tested idea, “you run it up the flag pole and see who salutes it”.  in other words, post your add and see who responds.

I’m going to assume you’re an educated English speaker with perhaps a technical education.  If you have some financial resources you might consider becoming a student at Ternopil University in Western Ukraine, they have an English taught medical and nursing school, graduate from this  school, pass 2 exams and you can easily emigrate to the USA, where your chances of finding an FSU spouse will greatly increase, not to mention the dating potential while you’re in school.

If your objective is to marry a light-skinned woman, have you considered going to Northern Pakistan, and finding a woman there, I’ve met some from there who were just as light skinned as Russians.  I don’t know how practical it is for you to travel there, political considerations and so forth...

anyway just trying to be helpful...

sorry about getting "stung", but now you are wiser, but don't judge everyone from just one person, it's hard to explain how to know if a Russian woman is genuine, if she is, you just know...

Anandaroop,

I am sorry to hear of your sad news.  You did have three years with her, and the times were good, at least good enough that you fell for more than her innocent face.  So be happy for the time together and learn from your experiences.

Regarding RW, I dated a couple of RW who liked Indian men.   So don't give up.  Can some Indian women not be just as materialistic as a RW? 

You mentioned money was key to her.  Please elaborate.  Did you breakup because:

1.  She met another man who had more money than you.

2.  You became weary of her demands for gifts, jewelry, cars, etc., and no matter what you sent on her she was not satisfied for long. 

3.  You had an economic reversal and were unable to keep the same lifestyle. 

4.  Other reason.

Wow! regardless of the reason, get closure, man. There'll be better days ahead.

There was a gorgeous RW here in LA not too long ago. She came from Moscow and married a RM living here, they divorced, lived in a rented space in a 'trailer home', met an Italian tourist - apparently well-to-do, dated, then eventually 'moved' to Italy to be with him. Short of 7 months later, she came back to LA, moved back into that rented space in the trailer home - citing having pasta for breakfast, lunch and dinner was just too much for her. Her family was very rich in Moscow, so she likely have more money than the men she spent time with.

It isn't always about "women are gold-diggers".

It would be much more gratifying to begin to realize, and maybe appreciate, this gal actually gave you, shared with you, 3 of the best/prime years of her life.

Closure.

Thank you for detailing your experience.

There are millions and millions of Russian Women, they aren't all the same. Some
are Angels, while others will harvest your organs or pull gold teeth out of their
Grandmother for extra money.

There is all the information that a man would need to get started finding the right
girl right here on this site.

Many men here are married to FSU women and we don't have the same experience you had. Not all women are the same. Think about what changes you can make to evaluate people. Surround yourself with good people. Don't rely on luck. Bringing good friends and a mate into your life depends on you alone.
