What's up with Hot Russian Brides

[Jack]

With several new guys posting here maybe one of you know what's up and will share your knowledge about the Hot Russian Brides site. I had asked a question of one of their spokespersons some time ago but I guess he decided to not to reply to any questions from this board. I believe he answered, up-dated, questions from other boards. 
 
Have they changed their methods of operations?  Once they would allow members direct contact with the ladies in their agency and then they withdrew that option. Did they ever change their policy and allow it's members direct contact information?
 
A lot of guys I guess found out they could contact many of these same ladies thru other sources at a fraction of the cost Hot Russian Brides (damn I luv that name) were charging.  With an overhead of $120,000 a month I figure the money man behind this enterprise would have pulled the plugged after 3/4 million in losses, or reduce overheard tremendously (which could explain the loss of the old spokesperson).

[color="#0000ff"][size="4"]Jack,

[/size][/color]   [color="#0000ff"][size="4"] I with you on this one, I LOVE the  agencies name. and I seriously questioned the claim of 120 grand a  month in operating costs, it is interesting that someone claiming to be from  that agency was posting here for a short time then disappeared.

Along with that Dud guy..............................anyone want to go on a turrr...........

[Jack]

now Bruce, not all turr's are created equal. Some are quite enjoyable for the ladies and effecient and productive for the men.

And I think that dud guy must have gotten canned.

[Shadow]

on RWG HRB did reply a number of questions until the time that there were too many complaints. Changing charges and other conditions on the fly seemed to be one of the regular things for HRB.

It seemed the overhead got the better of the effort to build a good agency.

woww, very educational Andrew,...... thanks.
 
I think the most amazing thing is that of all of the ladies from the 180 plus marriage agencies they all require the assistance of translators to respond to our e-mail or chats.

[andrewfi]

When I read the above,  thought that there were some qulaifiers missing that made what was writen pretty much entirely untrue!

For example, I know Russian women who drive. Not all agencies charge $8 for opening an email (although some do!) I also know some Russian women who earn more than the average wage in Russia, some, considerably more than the average wage in the US (whilst living in Russia).

This kind of untruth shows that either the owners/managers do not know what they are talking about - going to the heart of their credibility in helping a guy who, presumably, knows even less! Or simply to the honesty of the business as a whole. I posted the list because I know that almost everything written there was untrue, in the terms written, and thus, I could not and would not become a client of a firm that was either so incompetant or so dishonest as this.

One wonders what kind of image the managers of this business hold of their male (and female) clients.

[Rvrwind]

I was of the understanding they were also changing the name like some others I am aware of to leave all the bad press & reports behind them & start over spankin' clean.

Very devious in my opinion. But effective, gets themoff the blacklist sites for a time & helps build thier membership anew.

[andrewfi]

Cuteonly is not the same as HRB.

Cuteonly is not the same as HRB.

[color="blue"][size="4"]Are you SURE about this?[/size][/color]

[andrewfi]

IIRC Cuteonly have been discussed here before. But in any event, one is regstered in Virginia and the other is in Texas withdiffernt registrars and different (not masked) contact information. The sites look entirely different, they have diferent thought proceses behind them. If they arethe same firm, then they are being run by a group of schizophrenics!

[Thronnos]

To answer Jack's original question.

Russian Love Match which is the sister site of HRB had added the feature where you could purchase the ladies direct contact information if the lady allowed it.  Or you could ask her directly for it if you were a VIP member.  After you reached VIP status you could send you direct contact information directly to the ladies in emails or chat and it would not be edited out.

However, with the new Marriage law that is taking effect in March they have pulled the options from the website again.

Just when you think this endeavor cant get any harder, our trusty government gets involved and really screws things up! Man that was a depressing read.

Hi Folks, this is my first post on this board.  I had several drawn out posts on other boards that involved my dissagreement with the HRB Marketing guy.

Just so everyone knows how they operate:

HRB ONLY does email forwarding, online chat, and one-way streaming video.  They are NOT a full service agency.  You CAN NOT exchange any personal information between you and a lady UNLESS you're a "qualified" member.  Qualified member is he who spends 2500 credits ($1,000) at HRB.  Even then you still don't get personal info from HRB.  What you get is the name of her "Independent" agency. .....And I have another story re: HRB contacting my ladies agency and pressuring them to keep loyal after I found her address somewhere else. 

I found this 2500 credit crap out after spending a few hundred dollars chatting with a lady and then deciding to make the trip to the Ukraine.  I contacted HRB and was interested in being put into contact with her local agency.  HRB's response "Oh, you've only spent 160 credits......sorry....we can't help you until you spend 2500 total credits."  This is their policy following IMBRA.

I say stay away, there are much better agencies out there and alternatives to HRB.  Sure they have beautiful women on there but I wonder if you are even writing to the ladies in the profile.  For example, I am a member on a great site called Elena's Models (EM).   I found 3 ladies on EM that were also on HRB (young 19-20 yr olds) and they were supposedly admirers of me (on HRB)..and sent me hello emails....yeah right....  Well I emailed these ladies on EM and got three "not interested" replys.  I'm 43 and would never go that young but my test proved that something is fishy at HRB....

OH....BTW....great site....I just stumpled on it.

Is there any relationship between HRB and www.russianlovematch.com? Seems the two sites look very similiar.

Also www.cuteonly.com  has been around for awhile, did meet some nice ladies, but for the most part a lot of scammers. To their credit however, they are removing many women. When someone under my age group sends me an email, I wait a week or so and then find her profile is deleted. So its seems they are trying. 

Does anyone have an opinion of Anastasias Web?

HRB and RLM are the same company.
