Kvinna,

Your list would be valuable to men and I encourage you to pursue it.

There are three types of problem photos:

1.  Those pirated from another agency's catalogue.
2.  Those sold from the original listing agency to another agency.
3.  Bogus photos (photo models with no intention of ever meeting a foreign man).

I have a question.  I thought it was a general practice in the FSU for some agencies to "sell" profiles to another agency without the women's approval.  Frequently, not only are the photos identical, the words have not been changed.  I have seen this with a couple of women I have dated seriously.

Is this practice part of the problem? When a woman registers with an agency, does the contract allow the agency to sell her profile to another agency?

Kvinna,

 I also agree that this information is very valuable to anyone in finding a FSUW. One question to add to Gator's:

 Do any of the agencies you listed have a partnership agreement or an affiliate agreement with another agency?

Guys
all info and pictures are genuine
I never heard that LL has some an affiliate agreement with another agencies for selling profiles to very small and unknown new agencies
also no one agency takes notice that they can sell girls info to other agencies

[Jack]

Kvinna, cool, thanks!

Kvinna - there are some agencies that are affiiates of the big three. Here in Tver we have two that are affiliated with AWeb & another with Army of Brides. Photos from those agencies can not only show up on the AWeb or AoB sites but also any other of their affiliate sites.
Not that I am disparaging the ladies at all but many of them don't take the time #1/ To read the contract they are signing #2/ To understand the contract they are signing & #3/ To ask the right questions to recieve the answers to protect them from such practises.
It is their right, as a client of the agency, to make themselves aware of the practses of the agency & if they ask their profile to be removed it is the duty of the agency to remove it without question. Because of the past record of this buisness I find women feel they have no power once they sign with most agencies. They register for free & attend the photo session & feel they have no right to know or complain about the services provided them. They need to be educated in he practises of these type of agencies so that they know how to fnd an agency that will serve them better & respect their wishes as they do their male clients.
JMHO

[Kvinna]

Let's see
All women that claimed they was registred without their permission, are involved only into online dating and never dealt with agencies that work offline.
Most of sites with russian brides don't have the contracts in Russian. You as owner of agency know (I am sure) the english skill's level of our women. Don't you find it is some kind of fraud?

Kvinia, I can not believe I am saying this, but thanks for helping out the guy searching for the honest websites to look for his better half in the FSU.  Weeding out the scam artists is helpful for everybody.

I hope you could help us fighting with those agencies

Some dating sites are more trafficked by men, study says.
Men looking for women online were frequenting the online equivalent of mail-order bride sites. Among those sites were AnastasiaWeb.com, 90.6 percent male trafficked, Cherry Blossoms, 87.1 percent, FilipinaHeart.com, 85.5 percent, A Foreign Affair, 85.3 percent, and GlobalLadies.com, 85.1 percent. According to Hitwise, there were no known mail-order groom businesses on the Internet.

Here are 3 american based agencies all run by the same lady Svetlana Manning  my Ex Wife Elena's Boss who uses photos of fake ladies and then sends fake letters to get the guys to buy and spend more tokens, I know because my ex wife told me it was her job to write the letters back and forth to these guys using fake photos.

maybe you could scroll down? Unfortunatelly I cannot do this instead of you

[SANDRO43]

maybe you could scroll down?

I DID scroll down, and your quote comes after :

Internet dating sites can be the same way. But a Hitwise report based on Internet visits suggests there are a few online dating destinations with way more women.

and after:

Still, among more widely trafficked sites, eHarmony has a far higher ratio of women to men, with 68.6 percent of visits coming from women. “It’s a boon for men,” LeeAnn Prescott, research director for Hitwise, said of eHarmony.

and then this:

Yes Kvinna, but if you:
1. Change the title of the article
2. Discard its initial two thirds
to suit your purposes, than it's not really a quote, it's your own elaboration.

And, in any case, it's no surprise that accesses to those MOB sites in your "quote" are mostly by men.

of course not, because there aren't women
ah, better go to Alexa and see traffic for Svadba.com - women' version for Nastja

Kvinna, your list is way too short since many of those agencies are affiliated with others. It's best for men to Google the name of the agency they want to use and the word "scam" before doing business with them.

I assume Kivinna that you were addressing this to me, correct?
I would have to say, no, I don't feel it is some sort of fraud.
We do not take clients online other than the men. If a woman wants to sign with our agency she must appear in person at our office. We have no online registration for the ladies as we do not deal with women outside our immediate area. So I don't see how that can constitue fraud.
The women who do come to our office are treated to an interveiw of approximatly 2 hours in which our full range of services are explained & are given a brochure in Russian that explains it even further.
I think we do our utmost to assure that the women understand their obligation to us & our male clients & that they understand our obligation to them.
If we offerred online registration then I could understand your concern & I would myself assure that our website was in Russan as well as English but as we don't, I see little point in having it in Russian.

[Kvinna]

well, guys, I don't mind you can google anything you wish. I gave you info, that the women complained they were registered on those site without their permission/
Most of those women used mostly LL, rbrides and bride.ru, merelly cos they have PC with Internet connection and some english skills

I got this e-mail
