Complaint Review: Anastasidate.com - Select State/Province

I have enough evidence to prove that Anastasidate.com is a scam. I have been on this site for very long. I have chatted with many women but sometimes their responses to some comments that I would make to previous chats did not add up. In December of 2013 I decided to actually go to Ukraine to meet with a woman who I was chatting with for nearly a year. Before I went there she insisted that she would want to arrange for the accommodation and all other aspects of the trip. While I was there we made use of all the services that she recommended and all vendors that she wanted to use, e.g the actual apartment, the taxi service etc.

At one stage she informed me that she felt that her profile on the site was “hacked” and that she wanted us to rather communicate via calls and emails in future. This was agreed upon. When I returned to my country I received a chat invite from her on my phone. I responded and we chatted. During this chat we made reference to email exchanges made outside the website.  Later on during the same day she sent me an email informing me that the site read our chat and that she would be fined because we were in communication outside the site. This despite the fact that the site allows to exchange email addresses and contact numbers when a phone call is made through the site.

It happened a few times since then that I received an invite to chat with this lady. I would always confirm via sms with her if she was indeed on the site, and every time she informed me that she was not even close to her computer and also did not log in on the site for weeks. She also informed me that the agency controlled everything while I was there. From the taxi service to the accommodation etc and that while I thought that I was paying for the services directly to these vendors, these vendors are actually contracted out to the agency and that they are taking a fee from everything. I feel that this is fraud, as I never contracted Anastasiadate.com to do my accommodation and travel arrangements. While I was there I kept on enquiring about the fact that everything was more expensive than I was used to (I visited Ukraine previously as well). I also spoke with other locals to find out the prices in general in terms of accommodation and transport and they could not believe the prices that I was paying for these services.

This lady is very scared of her agency and she feels that she wants to get out of her contract with them, but she is not managing to get this done. In the meantime the agency is using her persona to chat with men around the world and through this is generating a lot of money whilst doing so. This is also an invasion of privacy as it is clear that communication that I thought was private between me and ladies on the site is NOT that private and confidential and in fact many times one is not even speaking to the lady that you THINK is starting to get genuinely interested in you.  It is also misrepresentation for the benefit of financial gain, as clearly other people are communicating with you on behalf of a “PHOTO” or “PROFILE” which you (as a paying customer) thinks is real.

I am disgusted and will not leave it at this. I do not only want my money back. Money is NOT the crux of the matter for me here.  I will go out of my way to try to expose this scheme as far as humanly possible.

There is SO much more detail that I have NOT added to this complaint purely because of the fact that I want to try to protect my and the lady's identity as well as trying to protect my case should this go further. Needless to say in my mind this organization is very simmilar to the mob, the mafia or whatever you want to call it.
