Long and in-depth answer: Look at the age range the hottest of hots are open to then join Mamba and write to the young hottest of hots and compare the responses.


Short answer: Scam.

The first website shown below is the same as mamba.

http://singles.ru/ (http://singles.ru/)
http://www.luckylovers.net/ (http://www.luckylovers.net/)
http://www.rbrides.com/ (http://www.rbrides.com/)
http://www.ukrainedate.com/ (http://www.ukrainedate.com/)
http://www.allsinglerussiangirls.com/ (http://www.allsinglerussiangirls.com/)
http://freepersonals.ru/ (http://freepersonals.ru/)
http://bride.ru/ (http://bride.ru/)
http://fdating.com (http://fdating.com)

Go to the above free and monthly cost ($19-30) websites.  Make up a nice profile of yourself.  Use the search engines to find about 800 - 1,000 women who are in the age range you want and have other education, etc., parameters that you desire and are in a single target geographical area.

Send a generic but well written introductory message to all.

Of those  who reply, filter out all who make you worry in any way or give you concerns.

Send second generic but well written letter to all.  Modify it a bit to answer any questions that an individual woman may have asked.  Yes, this takes a lot of time.

Repeat these procedures over about 6-8 emails and you will have narrowed down your list to 15-30 gals.  You can continue to use a generic letter for each successive mailing, but be sure to modifiy it a bit to answer specific questions any gal may have asked and to ask specific questions of your own related to the family, interests, jobs, etc., of each individual woman.  Yes, this takes a lot of time, but each week you will be cutting your list down. 

Plan your trip and start scheduling the women into time slots.

If you follow the above procedure, you will no longer have the need to ask us questions about scammers, etc., as you will have filtered out all scammers.  And if any of the women you are writing to give you any sheeeeet or cause you any concern at all, you simply drop them off your lists and continue on.

ASD:
So if you want to contact a large number of ladies, that site would be expensive compared to others, so avoid it.   OTOH, if you see a small numbers of ladies (4 or 5) that you think might be a good match for you, go for them.  $30 for a good contact is not unreasonable.  $20 wasted on ladies who don't answer back should not kill you.
But first you want to google/search and check if the ladies you like are on a better site with a fixed monthly cost.


Are you confident enough that you can choose the right 4 ladies with a decent chance of one being interested in you?  If not, go to another site.

A method I came to like was just writing my profile with some nice but realistic pictures, posting my profile, and let the women choose/write me. That way you know they already have some interest.

tfcrew,

Personally I don't look at the question asked as at "beating the dead horse", but rather as at a question by a member who is new in this "adventure" and has his doubts.
If you know that the website is a dead horse that was beaten already 10 times I think Anandaroop as maybe other newbies would appreciate a link to the reviews.  :)

I looked at the website and their office address in Belize really concerns me and the enhanced photos of women as well...

Olga, I think tfcrew is referring to the OP beating the dead horse (the smiley thingie) in his own opening message...


Anandaroop, welcome to RWD.


I think you already know the answer to your question.  Something at that site seems just a wee bit too good to be true so that inner voice is telling you that something is amiss. It probably is.


I think what Vinny suggests in his message is for you to go to mamba.ru (www.singles.ru), set up a profile there similar to the one you have at this questionable site - then write to women comparable to those who write to you at the 'questionable' site -- then you can compare the responses you get to prove to yourself that at a more 'normal' dating site, the same 'types' of women will not have the same behavior, thus giving you a clue.


Other suggestions and advice in this thread are also spot on.   Hang around and ask questions.  Or dive in and learn by trial and error.  If I had this to do over again, I'd do something very much (if not exactly) like what Man Looking suggests to you. 


Good luck!

The short answer is Yes. There is likely some sincere women on the site but getting to them in akin to walking minefield.


Is the site a "pay by the letter"? Any site that bombards your email account with "kisses" "interest" or letters/emails from multitudes of women that you didn't solicit, is generally nefarious. Anandaroop, keep in mind posting your profile on a website doesn't magically transform you into an Adonis or Brad Pitt. The site is likely baiting you with hopes of getting into your wallet.

I am happy for you, if this worked for you.

Generally, the results are not too satisfactory for the man.

Reason:  The women would also like to trade up.  Thus we, the men, will be contacted by those who see us as a trade up from themselves.

This is just not acceptable!   8)

Hey,

I'm actually a user of "ussr-star.com" (funny thing is I don't remember how I came across this one haha), and so far its seems legit to me "on the surface". I say that only because I haven't notice any of the usual "red flags" others had come across while using these particular dating sites. I've been satisfied with the correspondence's and never had any ask me for money or anything suspicious like that. I have setup a generic "first" letter that I send out, always the responses I get back are different, been able to ask questions, and have them return answered.

If they do have a think-tank of letter writers, they're doing a hell of a job subduing my initial doubts. I'm almost inclined to even say they genuinely just want to connect people.  ;D 

They do have a FAQ page if you'd actually take the time to browse the website.

It is a pay-per-letter website, so be aware that it gets pretty expensive. I suppose the upside to this is that all your messages will be replied, and they don't screen the letters for phone numbers, e-mail addy's, skype, etc. From experience, I've actually had a woman give me her e-mail address, and another wanted to skype with me, so we didn't have to use the site as the barrier between us (other sites I've read actually screen out their contact info, and sucker you to make more business out of that).

I suppose my only suspicions with this particular site is that - Virtually most of the women on the site are gorgeous and model-like (they did explain in their FAQ that all the girls use a professional photographer... whatever), news and stories/tips haven't been updated in a while, and from what I could gather it's a relatively new website.

But hey its Online Dating and you should know the dangers that come with it, or you shouldn't have any business using them. The good things in life that require work is never certain!

Cheers!!

Hi,

I just got onto the site. I did wonder if it was a 'legit' because the women all looked like models. I need to see 'everyday' type pictures. I know there is a flood of 'kisses', so i just delete all the ones too young or that are not interesting. I'll pick a few to respond to. If it goes well, go to normal email for more info and pictures. Funny the site says something about meeting in 3 weeks! Much too soon for long travel. Cost is too high to respond to everyone, and I say that in my Profile.

Post by: Jumper on November 10, 2011, 02:23:20 PM
Same basic scenario, different wrapper.
 
*valid* is just too vague in the case of MOB websites ;)
 
 
Are there legit women there? likely.
and if they allow immediate exchange of direct contact info
it seems a big plus.
 
 
Are the majority of model like photo's/ profiles,  with names like DreamyNights, YourOneandOnly, Enchanted-Smokinhotkova a valid way to seperate keyboard romeos from their money by exchanging letters?
 
 just as likely.
   
 
 
Good luck

this one got my curiousity going; it sounds fake but i decided to try it any way. so i picked a few different gals the 1st try from different backgrounds, different age group and sent them letters from the site and instructed them to reply to my private email address; well, u guessed it! they all replied from within the web site and within 24 hr period with similar subject line; asking me to to read their letters. I did not stop here, so i tried it again with a few more different characters and the result was the same although i placed my private email in the subject line. conclusion, if u are looking for a russian girl STEER A WAY from this site all the pics are FAKE. there may be some real people on that site but u will have to spend a bundle before u can find them and then it may not work with u so u have to do the search all over again. best practice is not to be taken by a site like this one. it is wayyyyy tooooo gooood to beeeeee truuuuuuuuue. hope this answered all of u out there.

Well, If you really research this sort of Online Dating and those particular sites that run those e-mail messaging service, you'll see that ussr-star.com and other sites use "similar agencies". I've actually gone to other different FSU Dating sites and they have those same "Glamour" Photo's that I've seen on ussr-star.com. You should of read their FAQ's page, as they do give a "valid" reason why the girls use Glamour Photography; most likely for us guys' benefit. And "fake" photo's is arbitrary from guy to guy, but whatever if you personally think it's a fake site that's your own prerogative.

You'll notice as well that they employ people to "translate" them letter's when they go back and forth from you and whomever your corresponding with. On ussr-star.com, they do encourage you to use their services at the premature stages of your interactions; you can exchange e-mails with the girls (because they don't screen letter's like other sites do), and eventually you can "steer them" away from the site. But obviously you need to know your basic Russian/Ukrainian because I've noticed quite a few of them know little to no English.

But then again, It's Online Dating and not for certain whomever your talking to may/may-not be that actual person you see on the profiles; which meeting people at bar's and whatnot has the advantage of. Obviously you guy's wouldn't be on here if you were having decent luck in that situation.  ;D

Hey, hello fellas! First off, sorry for posting on such an old thread but I found this thread actually really interesting and useful. IMO we shouldn't judge everything because most things have their in betweens or shades in which we can judge by ourselves and our empirical experiences with each site.
In the case of AZCowboy, I found his opinion very useful. I'm also a user of USSR-Star and since I first found it back in late 2012 I found it really interesting, a little more user friendly like sites such as Dream Marraige or Anastasia Rape. Most people came here trashing the site w/o having a real 1st hand experience w/ it, so someone who is actually involved with it comes as a very valuable source.
Like I said the site is quite user friendly, you don't have all these chat request popping up every 2 seconds and also the only means of communication are pretty much message exchanges. What is a bit expensive is the Sending flowers thingies but I guess it's worth it given that they also give you a bunch of pictues at the time of delivery, which is important.
The quality of the pictues is pretty professional and almost all the girls look gorgeous so I can spend hours and hours just browsing profiles pictures and reading them.
The KISS option is actually pretty fun, since you can send pretty much any amount of kisses for free. I've actually had a young 19 year old babe send me like 5 kisses. She's checking on me every now and then but I just havent sent her anything yet since I;ve been out of budget lately. But even corresponding with just 1 babe can get pretty expensive considering you write her 1 message a week and then recieve 1 back, it's 2 msg a week, times 4= 8 messages X 5 credits= 40 credits a month=  $46/mo

Anyway, I'm currently addressing just one beautiful ukrayinka and since her first message to me I found it very natural and non-suspicious. We've been exchanging messages and fortunately there has been a special kind of chemistry and mutual liking. Like cowboy says, if they have just prefabricated responses, then you would notice. I've been scammed before by an agency and so I'm always careful for "Red flags". And if they're hiring people to write responses or like a think tank like Cowboy says, they're doing a hell of a job for sure!!
To this point I think it's better for me to steer her away from the site and see if it works out like this. There are also like 10 other beautiful ukrayinkas more I'm interested in but it would actually be a little expensive to correspond with all of them, so maybe I'll be contacting a couple more and see what happens or just throw them my email/skype and wait for them to contact me off-site?
To be sincere the quality of the brides is OFF THE HOOK, even though there are also other very average looking women too and older women so that could clear some doubts as well.
Elena's models advises you not to go for the knock outs and most sought out women since you'll find a lot of competition, but it's actually really hard since you'll always gravitate towards the highest beauty.
Also what Cowboy says at the end is very important. You wouldn't actually be having to take any risks with online dating if your luck in a bar or club situation was decent at least, unless you only want to have fun with local women but you find something necessary with ukranian or foreign women, like the ability to cook well for example. In my case, I still quite young compared to guys I've seen on the tours and stuff, and I also have pretty decent looks and decent game but I haven't been able to find something convincing in my community. So much so, that I feel I'm beating the dead horse with Guatemalan dating  :deadhorse: so now I'm pretty much sold on getting a russian bride instead.
I'll keep you guys posted in case I see anything suspicious.
Cheers and good luck with dating!

Welcome iloveukrayinkas.

I should start by saying that I am one of those people who will ‘trash’ a site that I have never used. I also have no experience of being hit by a speeding locomotive but knowledge gained throughout life has told me that it’s likely to be a little painful and probably something to avoid.

If you’re simply looking for a little e-titillation the website in question is probably ideal for such a purpose. If however you seek something more romantic then please get back to me once you have visited Ukraine and met those ‘ukrayinkas’ you write about. In the meantime I for one don’t need you to report any ongoing ‘suspicions’. ;)

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  :)

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.

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.

Hi,

Your profile says you haven't been to Russia yet. Did she travel to meet you in your
country? or did you travel to meet her?

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.

Udachi!

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.
