I found a lot of websites where members were saying such things as: “Anastasia International is a scam”, “there are no real girls”, “Anastasia International just grabs customer’s money without providing any services” and so on… Most of these quotes comes from people who never was hit by real dating scammer.. I decided to write block of articles to let you know my own opinion on Anastasia International dating service and my attitude to the scam problem on this site. Hope that my opinion will help you to understand if Anastasia International is scam or they are not.
In this article I will tell about difference between real scam and dissatisfaction with service, and also will tell you about Anastasia International scam verification team and its work.
WHY ANASTASIA INTERNATIONAL IS NOT INTERESTED IN SCAMMING YOU
First of all, I would like to say that I have worked at several Russian dating services and know this business really well from inside. Actually those days when agencies tried to scam their customers are far away. In our day most of the agencies are doing all to avoid scam on their site because of one simple reason. They will not be able to charge credit cards if their reputation and fraud level will be high. Most 3rd party payment providers which are usually processing payment for russian dating sites are monitoring each merchant. If fraud level, which is calculated by charge backs, on dating site is higher than normal (usually it is around 3% of all transactions) they block merchant and hold its money until situation will be cleared. According to my sources Anastasia International is only russian dating service which spent thousands of dollars each month on their anti-scam program. Nobody else in russian dating niche did not spent more than 1 million dollar on anti-fraud efforts, while Anastasia International still continue to improve their services in this area.
WHAT IS DATING SCAM
Sure it’s hard to believe that this system exists after you have read several scam stories on the web but I will try to prove that most of those scam stories have nothing common with real scam. Actually, definition of dating scam sounds like this: “A romance scam occurs when strangers pretend romantic intentions, gain the affection of victims, and then use that goodwill to gain access to their victims' money, bank accounts, credit cards, passports, e-mail accounts, and/or national identification numbers or by getting the victims to commit financial fraud on their behalf. A romance scam may also be perpetrated for the purposes of gaining an immigration benefit.”
Talking about situation with Anastasia International usually customers say that Anastasia International is a scam because they while being a member of the site spent hundreds of dollars and did not find a wife. But I have not find testimonial where man reported about real scam attempt that woman from Anastasia International tried to scam him.
In most cases all those scam reports on Anastasia International is nothing more than dissatisfaction with the service people have received while being a members. Usually happens because people don’t use Anastasia International credit system effectively. This problem needs separate investigation and more space so I will explain this in next articles about Anastasia International.
ANASTASIA INTERNATIONAL SCAM VERIFICATION TEAM
Actually Anastasia International agency has a full-time scam verification team in their head office in Moscow. According to official press releases and some interviews which I have read on the web Anastasia International verification team consist of 12-15 workers who are doing following activities to prevent scam accidents on their site:
- Staff members are checking whether Russian and Ukrainian marriage agencies which are affiliated with Anastasia International comply with the Anastasia International procedures and are not trying to cheat our clients. Anastasia International is paying to their affiliates and they are not interested in fake profiles and there is no reason for them to pay for cheated profiles.
- Anastasia International calls ladies and asks them if they are satisfied with quality and efficiency of the service.
- They also calls pretty ladies and reveal cases of fraud and scam.
- Monitors that ladies' data submitted to Anastasia International by local marriage agencies is correct and up-to-date and women are really available and are interested in the match-making service.
- One of the managers from scam verification team investigates each case of alleged fraud that neither gentlemen nor ladies get offended by these procedures.
- Anastasia International managers’ team checks the personal information and contacts of girls and brings them up-to-date to ensure that each member can contact a woman.
- Scam verification team checks correspondence between women and male clients to exclude cases of fraud and scam.
If you don’t believe me that such team exists you can find their photos here . All these activities makes Anastasia International women database better and better everyday but sure it is impossible to get 100% result in this fight with dating scam. Sometimes scam accidents are happening on their site but Anastasia International support is always ready to help you if you are in trouble.
