Russian Cupid

I joined as a standard member which was free. I only looked at gold or platinum profiles and sent mail for further contact. I also have had a few paid members contact me. We exchanged email addresses and of course a couple scammers out of a dozen. But, they are easy to spot. They talk about how wonderful they are then how good of a man you are. All well and good however they don't ask you too many questions and don't answer yours. First red flag, and if issue of money comes up then it's done. I have seven I talk to on a regular basis, they send photos, and specific ones when I ask. Not nudes or anything like that, for example I asked to see them with a newspaper or current magazine for the reason of scamming. They all understood and obliged my request and I did the same. They also made it clear that they don't know what the future holds and just continue to correspond. Any dating site has scammers, sad but true. Follow these steps, express your concerns because they have them too. It's being smart and honest, you will get the results you're looking for.

I did register as platinum member for one year and did pay the maximum fee. I am handsome, young and I have a successful business. When you report fake, fraudulent profiles, they do remove them once in a week. At the weekend, nobody watches the scamming process, and the same scammers do register new profiles with photo of models, woman from magazines. They do have profile verification put it is not enforced. So when you have contact with a pretty woman, be sure 95%, the profile is fake. The message is even written with an automatic answering system.

In one year, I did receive almost 500 messages and only 10 of them were genuine profiles. From those 10 profiles, I did keep 3 genuine contacts. I did notice inside their system, there is no automatic response system, even for platinum members, but still I did receive automatic replies of members, so they do write scripts to fool people. I did mention you receive many interest, but they do not visit your profile! Another scam by scripts they write. The scammers do ask you to give your email, and they start to send you fake photos, even different photos. When you insist to see webcam verification, they are gone. Some do write love, poem letters and they do not answer your letters.

Dear users of any dating site! We are living in 2011. A lot of people round the globe have access to the internet and the ups and downs this would give you...On any dating or public communication site you will find scammers! Either they do it for money, to get you hooked on the site, or they simply do it for fun....read above, we are not better than others, if you use a dating site instead of Facebook, who is the scammer then? If you write to girls, who's only option to get out of the country is marriage, why then continue writing if you state that you are not looking for marriage at the moment? Who's the scammer then?

My advice is, if you search for profiles similar to yourself in age, height and weight, you have lost a lot of scammers. If you see a model age 25 searching for male 32-67 , well, think a little, it doesn't match does it? Be honest with yourself in your search criteria, just like buying a car, a BMW is nice, but if you don't have the money, forget it!

Olga 21, model, great body in bikini.....well she is nice to look at, but if you don't have the matching appearance forget it! On any dating site, you have to remember, the girls are not " i love you long time" girls.....if that is what you are looking for, I'm sure a trip to i.e. Thailand would be great.....

Sorry for the words, but hey, if things sound too good to be true, they might be! Internet has not replaced this common sense, gentlemen....

I am a reviewer at the site called Sazze and I specialize in dating sites and @Dave and @David I would have to disagree with you 10 million percent. No one said that there were not any real women on the site, but you don't have complete all-round information as it seems and your own personal experience is severely limited in the context of true research and the other stories of what actually is seen. Your put down of American women is embarrassing and more or less shameful and is indirectly related to the viewpoint being promoted out there that Russian women have a more super special difference than one's local women at home. Absolute foolishness and nonsense.

Local women would agree with this to be so. Who told you that all women in your country are the same? I know of one woman from America who lives in my country and sold everything she had to be with a man she married here who happens to be not white and they have recently started a family (and concerning @Petr hotrussianbrides.com - I cannot believe with my own eyes the statement that has been made - Of course there are scammers, because as a member myself of the RUA forum that deals with all things pertaining to Russian women there is one who posted a whole article of his conversation with the customer service representative about a scam that took place on this very site.

This site that we are discussing has a poor filtration system and on SiteJabbers - a review site that does website reviews there is even a testimonial of a man who received scam letters from many ladies. Now for those who presented before one thing I am sure will not be said by them is the ethnic/racial unfairness in that there is only one-ethnic advertising namely caucasian-related advertising when other races are on the site. In dealing with one of its affiliate sites Ukrainedate.com they referred me to this site being discussed since they said they had more mixed race testimonials on this site than on Ukrainedate.com-I only found about five at least out of 100 plus (Wow how multiethnic that is!) but these are not advertisements just testimonials. It is interesting that if we compare Russian Euro/Russian Cupid to one of its affiliate sites Afrointroductions.com one can find actually at the FRONT of the site mixed race advertising but on this site there is NO advertising of such! So mixed race advertising is good for an African-related site but not good for a caucasian-related site? Is such Fair? No! And it aint RIGHT either!

When you register at this site, expect to see dozens of "women" clicking on "I'm interested" on your profile, and expect to receive dozens of messages. All of them will be incredibly beautiful, but none of them will write anything that is specific to you. Don't bother to ask any questions - they don't answer, they just continue babbling about how nice and caring they are and how much they would like to marry.

I am director of a tourist hotel at Grand-bay in Mauritius. I travel often to Europe and UK for my tourism businesses and for my holidays.

I've been using Hot Russian Brides.com for a few months. It has replaced Facebook as my main source of daily online fun. The girls are always fun to talk to and I have even talked with a couple of them about going to meet them in person. Video chat is fun. I sent one girl a gift through the Web site and was lucky enough to see her receive it live on webcam.

There seems to be a lot of misinformation out there about this site. But I think if you look at a lot of these "scam" claims, it's clear that a lot of people just don't understand the nature of the service. It's an international dating service. Not a mail order bride service. And the ladies don't have to talk to you if they don't want to. (But it's great when they do!)

If you're looking for a different kind of online dating, I would highly recommend becoming a member of this site. I have definitely enjoyed my time.

Seeking to broaden my horizons and simply obtain differing opinions on love and relationships from the East, I posted a basic 'standard' profile. Within 2 days I had been contacted by three beautiful girls, two of whom I speak with on a daily basis via e-mail. Note that only girls with gold or platinum memberships can contact standard members. It's quite flattering getting so much attention from these ladies, something I had not experienced from any local dating site. I am in my 40's and I have noticed most ladies my age don't speak much English. Most below say 35 years old do, fairly well! There is also much advice on immigration for prospective couple wishing to get married.

Now some weeks on, I joined for the one month as a Gold member and seriously, I am getting perhaps 8-10 ladies a day contact me. This must be what it's like to be a female on these sites with all this attention! I would give it 5 stars but quite often the instant messenger cuts out too quickly, allowing you to send a notification that you had tried to contact a lady.
