The site is described as a 'luxury dating service', ran by Imena.ua. Anyone experience with them?

Willby, if you can talk to her is might be interesting to visit, however be careful.

Yeah, I checked that too. Imena - i Think this site is in Russia or in Ukraine and they provide Slavic girls...
This week i'll call her. Then we'll see...
I 'll write here my experience.

I took a look at this site last week. It sure looked like a sister site to Anastasiadate. Seems to work exactly like Anastasiadate.  :(

''I call her through the agency. She needs an interpreter 'cause her English is pre-intermediate. She speaks but not so well... ''

This is not good ..it's so often an excuse.. try to get away from the agency .... it's just an excuse to fleece you in 99 percent of cases

There are several things you should check for when looking at an agency, but the very
first thing you should look at is how they charge for their services. If they charge a flat
fee, or a monthly fee that is usually acceptable. HOWEVER, if they charge you by the
letter, then you should avoid the agency. If they charge you for chat by the minute
then you should avoid the agency.

It's far too tempting for an agency to manufacture letters from the translators or to
give the girls a commission for writing letters.

Udachi!

Hi! They do not charge for chat and letters. They do not provide those services. They provde only real calls ans real meetings. For example, i can pick any girl and talk to her immediately or come and see her. I like their policy. I hate chatting and letters.
I'm gonna look for something else,of course. But what i like about this agency they just give real girls.

Now, why does this make me even More sceptical ?

Could it be that normal lasses have jobs  / lives / obligations and aren't sitting around waiting for conference calls ?

Can anyone/ anything help our Willby from needlessly parting with his Euros ?

Nope, too late, he will be parted with his Euro forthwith.  Someone needs to help support the FSU economy, looks like Willby will be doing that.

Hi guys! Sorry for not replying for so long. I did call this girl. They gave us an interpreter in case she wouldn't be able to speak out herself. But it was ok. So instead of talking 10 minutes, we talked 22 min. She is from Kiev, studying at the University.
What else??? You know. she is ok. I'm not going to come yet to spend my Euros (one of you wrote it... Lol). I wanna communicate more with her and maybe with others and then we'll see.

So WILLBY,

you got the girl's details and ditched the agency?  As yes - that's not 'allowed' ..

Kiss good bye to the money that's being so easily parted from your wallet ..  :wallbash:

Willby, you need to spend however long it takes finding this woman on VK. No, finding her on VK is not stalking her, and anyone who tells you as much is just wrong. When a girl puts herself out there on social media, they are darn aware, if they have even a tiny bit of common sense, that they just renounced their right to any little smidgeon of privacy they might otherwise retain with the anonymity gained from not being on social media.

If it takes you 10 minutes to find her on VK, fine. If it takes you 30 minutes, fine. If it takes you an hour to find her on VK, do it. You need to find her on VK. If you cannot find her on VK, that means either she is weird or she is purposely hiding herself from being found on VK by Western Men because she is up to no good (ie scamming Western Men). Once you find her VK profile, look at her right wedding ring finger in every picture of hers on VK - look very very carefully - if you see a wedding ring on her right hand ring finger.....umm not really a good sign. If she tells you she does not have any children, and yet you see her with a beautiful little girl in many pictures.....umm not really a good sign. If most of her pictures are her at clubs, drinking, smoking with glassy bloodshot eyes and a spaced out look on her face....umm not really a good sign.

I have been scammed / lied to so many times by so many different Ukrainian women on PPL sites, that I just do not want what happened to me to happen to you. The day I found out about VK, was one of the best days of my life, and a couple of days after discovering VK I deleted my Anastasiadate account. I have not spend one penny at Anastasiadate since I discovered VK.

Get all the details about her now otherwise you're just visiting a stranger. You need to make over 10 phone calls or have Skype sessions with the lady without the agency in the middle to get a good read if she's into you. It can get expensive to do that using the agency. It's been talked about a lot that agency employees write letters on ladies behalf but agency employees can also speak on the phone for the ladies. Their goal is to get you to visit and use their agency services. Their goal is to separate fools from their money. They don't care if the girl you're interested in is interested in you. You need to figure that out before you decide to fly over there.

AGAIN ... :cluebat:

Those who made the same mistake as you - how many 'credits' did you part with ? - know that ANY pay per contact mode is 99 percent a scam

I looked at the site and see nothing to change my viewpoint.

IF you want to pm me - I can help you by suggesting who the girl in the photo links to in vk, her name and location

This one's for free and I'm not offering this service to anyone else.

I know enough Russian to use Russian software that can recognise images on VK..

PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE - DON'T SEND MONEY TO PAY PER CONTACT SITES....  :wallbash:

Most of us have done it - have been cured...  when you get introductory letters from such sites - from ladies you've already met  - you might get our point.

Moby,

I would not impose on you to do our searching for VK pics.  But, knowing some Russian, myself, could you steer me in the right direction for VK picture lookup sites?

Or is this a secret?

Thanks.  I know that I am not the only one that can make use of such a site.

Hi Jone

not so much a 'secret'... I read an article on the BBC website about the software - a photographer used it to take photos of folk in Piter and then 'traced them' using the software

The link to his original blog disappeared - he did write he was using this as an exercise and felt it was too intrusive.

I found 5 plus profiles on vk using the photo of the lass Willby posted..I couldn't be bothered to delve further.

Pretty elusive, Moby.

But using your cryptic hints the software used was FindFace.  While Moby may not think such information is warranted on this forum, I disagree.  I think many forum users would make use of this software to review the VK database.  And, considering the number of scammers that have contacted forum users, I think this is a valuable service that the forum can provide:  Advising members how to do a sophisticated check of the VK dataset.

YES..I was being elusive..I make no apology

Frankly, the thought of some keyboard romeos descending on vk.com - or using it as 'verification' doesn't thrill me with enthusiasm.



It's already full of Turks who want to be 'friends' with one's wife / girlfriend  :wallbash:


The Russian photographer pulled his link to his blog on VK as he felt his experiment had been intrusive and I agree with him.

SC and her friends followed my advice and adjusted their privacy settings and 'even' this software can't id the photo she uses for her profile.

THEY use the site to find old friends and join groups on stuff that interests them ... not to be pestered

To remind you .. Willby's 'photo' was found in five plus profiles - this 'tool' just proves that a lot of images of pretty girls get used by other folks...

'WELL DONE'  for spreading the word...
