Russian Dating Site Scam (receiving a flood of emails from Russian women from agency)

IBefore I signed to this forum I joined Anastasia, a Russian bride site. I posted my pic and profile and within 8 hours received over 180 messages from Russian ladies. The website wants US$8 for me to reply to each message. I anyones language, this is a lot of money. I can't help thinking this is a scam as I cannot believe that so many Russian ladies have such fast access to the internet, and if they have access at all. I believe the website is simply dumping pre-written generic lettes on me. Has anyone else here had the same problem?

I'm not sure and I wouldn't want to give you wrong information but I do remember reading something about "AnastasiaWeb" not to be confused with "Anastasia".

There was something posted about "AnastasiaWeb" in the Yahoo discussion groups. So, you might want to inquire there.

I have just read about a guy who claims to been scam by a web site with that name in it. Come to think of it, I have read a lot of negative post about that web site. or one with that name it it.

I had met my ex-fiancee on Anastasiaweb. I think they are OK, but expensive. Last year, I think it was $6 per letter. And the agencies will edit-out any attempt to send email addresses across. But telephone numbers are OK.

Overall, I think Anastasiaweb may be OK, but what I found was the agencies that received the letters for these ladies (and translated for them) would send you letters without the lady knowing about it. I received probably 4 or 5 letters that my ex-fiancee had never written.

As with anything, I think you'll need to be careful when corresponding with women. I think there are very good and honest agencies out there, and there are others that aren't as honest. I would like to think that Anastasiaweb is honest and it's just the agency in the FSU that's causing problems, but I can't corroborate that one way or the other.

After that experience, I can honestly say tha you're probably a little safer corresponding with a woman directly. I would recommend going to a website that has a lot of good reviews or a website that will sell the email address or telephone number outright.
