Ripoff Report researched and found the following verified Better Business Bureau client reviews:

From Jeremy A.: "This is the best agency I have found to try and meet my other half. I had been looking at a lot of online dating sites, but seemed the same old rubbish and scams. During my search I came across Dream Connections and was impressed with the whole thing. After watching many of Mark's Videos, I decided to do a tour in May 2015. Everything was taken care of when I arrived at Odessa Airport.. Marina and Vitali met myself and a few of the other men there. From that moment, I felt very relaxed and confident being in a strange country and not speaking the language. My translator Inga was a real gem and was there for the whole time I was in Nikaleuv. Though I did not meet my special lady, I still had a wonderful experience. Mark, Anna and Marina did everything they could to help. The events were fantastic and well organized. I also made some great friends and the whole group was serious and a great bunch of guys. I would look at doing another tour in the future with DC in Ukraine." - Click here for the BBB review.

From Rob V.: "Mark and Anna ***** are the "real deal". Although I was initially somewhat skeptical of their promises (my 26 year career in law enforcement has taught me to be this way), I can honestly say that they deliver on every promise they make. Both Anna and Mark were very quick to respond to any questions or concerns I voiced - - before, during, and after the trip. it is very rare these days to receive such quality customer care. One of their sayings is "just show up" - - and this is truly all you need to do. Mark and Anna make sure that all of your needs are met from the moment you get off of the plane until the moment you depart. One last thing that sets Anna and Mark apart from their competition: service after the sale. They are there for clients even after your specific tour has ended. On an overall scale of 1-10, I would give them an 11." Click here for the BBB review.

From Robert B.: "I had a very positive experience with Dream Connections International. I participated in a tour with Dream Connections International in May 2015, and I found the entire experience to be well run and it lived up to my expectations. The pre-tour educational material and client interviews were very helpful and integral to having a positive experience on the trip. During the trip the staff were professional and experienced and very helpful. The events were run well and without undue delays or interruptions. Overall you got the strong impression that the staff knew their jobs and were effective. Post-tour support was available and I took advantage of it - it is a beneficial feature of the Dream Connections International services offered through their tours. I am very positive about the company and their services. I highly recommend them." Click here for the BBB review.

From James W.: "I found Dream Connections online, while searching for international dating agencies. I know that many of them are not well regarded in terms of customer service, so I was very careful to do my research. After seeing the support Mark and Anna provide to clients, and the large community of clients on Facebook, I decided to go on a tour. It was as advertised, with coaching, support and all the details taken care of. Definitely not a scam. I did not end up meeting my final match on my first trip, but I had a great time and I will go again." - Click here for the BBB review. From François B.: "I was in the May 2015 Quest tour group. I can tell everyone that Dream Connection is a serious company. Everything you see on the video is what you get. All the coaching by video is free. Every week, the webinar propose a different topic and is always interesting. Mark ***** is a great coach. Anna and Marina do a very good follow up. Translator are very good, and at hte end of the week; they are your friend.... There is no money spent, before you decide to go. You just have to show there! Even after you came back to your country, Mark, Anna or Marina will continue to give you support if you need some. I recommend this agency to everyone who is serious about International Dating." - Click here for the BBB review.

The information provided in this report below is based on comments made by Mark Davis during an onsite inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases towards Dream Connections International, Inc..

Dream Connections is a company based on romantic tours on several continents including: Ukraine, Columbia, and Thailand. These nine day experiences allow their clients to experience foreign cultures as well as interact with potential romantic partners. Mark Edward David stated the following about his company, "we help pre-qualify and introduce people who are looking for a life partner. We've had an 80% success rate with our clients helping start a new relationship, and we are categorized as a tour company because the only product is the physical tour."

Leads for Dream Connections are primarily obtained through YouTube, "we have 260 videos YouTube right now, and they are basically a combination of testimonials, live footage from events, and teaching. I do a lot of teaching on relationships and the like." Potential customers can fill out an online profile, which will prompt an automatic email that will describe the next steps in the process. From there the client will go through a series of four different interviews to qualify what their looking for in terms of a life partner. Mr. Davis went on to state, "the purchase experience is online. We have printed on their pages of full terms and conditions. We don't hide them with a scroll down arrow. So everybody knows exactly what their getting. What's included, what’s not included, in all those tour packages."



CUSTOMER CARE & COMPLAINT RESOLUTION – DREAM CONNECTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

During the onsite interview Mr. Davis was asked to describe a situation where a client was not satisfied with the level of service they received. Mr. Davis went on to state, "we have gone fortunately for four years without a complaint. However, in October we had a customer on our Colombian tour who felt like he didn't get a chance to meet somebody that he specifically wanted to and instead of arguing the points with him we just decided to give him half off of a repeat tour, and he was very happy with that." If any type of complaint arises Dream Connections will complete a detailed personal follow up with that client to ensure satisfaction.

When asked to comment on complaints posted on Ripoff Report's website Mr. David expressed that the complaints posted online were posted by a competitor. He went on to state, "Dream Connections is really happy to personally address any concerns one would have. The specific complaints posted on Ripoff Report were not by a customer. References in these include un-factual statements such as 'they would cancel your membership' we don't have a membership program." To ensure future and current clients Dream Connections are members of The Certified International Dating Corporation, and have an A rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Dream Connections is proud to be a part of Ripoff Report's Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, "it's very important to Dream Connections to be a part of the Corporate Advocacy Program simply for the reason of bringing honesty and open dialogue in a fair environment in the real business world, with real customers and real companies that try to provide services."

NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED

European Dream Connections Mark and Anna Davis Sacramento, California

ABOUT THE RIPOFF REPORT BELOW:


Ripoff Report would like to let readers know that Ripoff Report emailed this customer so the member business could make things right with them. When a business joins the Corporate Advocacy Program, Ripoff Report emails everyone from the past so the member business can make things right with them. Of course, everything within reason. In order to confirm that the complaints were resolved, Ripoff Report is copied on all responses so we can insure that the member business did right by their customer. The author of the Ripoff Report below never responded to our offer to help them.


STATEMENT FROM DREAM CONNECTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC.:


The claim that we are racist or prejudiced is again without fact. Our first married client was a black man. We have had minority customers on every tour. We have helped men find wives who were from Mexico, Pakistan, India, Asia, and more. We've helped men find wives who were Muslim, Mormon, Catholic, Protestant, and more. There is not basis in the complaint and it is certainly not from a client.


NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED


---------------------------------------------------------------------


Exposure is usually what some people try to hide from at times and such is the case with Mark and Anna Davis.  One of the things that they have definitely tried to hide from others is their race discriminatory patterns and race bias and prejudiced practices.  From time to time the liars who belong with Mark and Anna will try to condone or disregard these practices that Mark and Anna have been known to perform by claiming that they are "honest" which is an absolute lie and a totally fraudulent and misleading claim and a total fabrication and nothing can be further from the truth.  Their 'business" was set up with the intent that it might cater to one particular racial group exclusively and that was the racial group that they are a part of.  From time to time, the liars who are with Anna and Mark and who will also lie for them also are of the same racial grouping and brand that they are from and so will not want to expose them and their "race discriminatory catering practices" that are meant to be exclusive to the very racial grouping that Mark and Anna Davis happens to belong to.  This has been the intent from the start of their business known as European Dream Connections and which is also known in its abbreviated form as EDC.

A word of warning:  It is often said that "a word to the wise is sufficient" and here are words of wisdom that I want to give and these are:  To not be unwise or be fooled into believing these liars who will try to justify these evil actions that are with Mark and Anna where their "screening policies" for their "business" are based on race and color.  Evil like the one that Mark and Anna enjoy practicing often has a pay day involved and that pay day can be partly seen in them being fully exposed for their wicked and color biased ways because now they cannot hide any more in what they are doing and in also how they are operating.

Our warning about Dream Connections will also be warned here, but not in every complaint against Dream Connenctions, from other people etc:

We have recieved reports about some of the girls listed on Dream Connections, beeing seamingly dishonest etc.

We have also some very truthful review about Dream Connections by our main page, listed in the information provided.

To see our review and warning of caution about Dream Connections see, our webpage is mostly about individual scammers, warns about and how to avoid them etc:

http://scammerswhogotsloppy.blogspot.com

We believe Dream Connections started off good with good intentions but greed of money corrupted their business in part, maybe not in whole, but in part.

It is seamingly true in part, Dream Connections, mostly care about the money and their business, and maybe not always their clients...

Thanks. However we might not agree with all the complaints against Dream Connenctions, but some in part, we agree with.

At Ripoff report it also exist another report about Dream Connections, beeing racists, and have prejudges, witch if true, is very serious complaint... Seamingly seams true, in part... This time seam to also center about greed and money, witch is certainly true in part at least, this we know by our own investigation, listed at our main site above as well, and partly warned about here in one of the consumer comments of person "Judge" USA, below in ripoffreport article, seams to be accurate in that at least very:

The only thing I wanted to say here is that its completely nonsense.

I know about a guy he is not from Africa, and not completely dark in skin, but darker then a white person, and he gets 1000s girls and models attentions from Ukraine and some aswell from Russia, I think.

So this BS that girls from Russia and Ukraine not like darker men is completely a lie.

It has been opposite, actually.

Nomatter what your racist views and rasist articles says.

All humans are equally worth, and none is ugly, all is created by God.

Beuty and ugly is only opinions of humans, witch means nothing, its only opions.

Again, All humans are equally worth, and none is ugly, all is created by God.

And I'm not picking on you because you are Black because it makes no difference to me. However it DOES matter to a lot of Eastern European women. They wont touch you because of your skin color. Sad but true. My point is that nobody can make them date you if they dont want to. And why would you want that anyway? Just find some American "valley girl" who has daddy issues if you want to find a white girl who likes Black guys. Or dont take my advice and remain miserable. I dont care.

I am surprised that some person actually thinks that the author of this report happens to be African American-Imagine the gall of stooping so low.  What if the author of this report is Caucasian? What then?  Actually I now simply have more evidence to prove the TRUTH about Mark and Anna being Racists. 

If the case is that women from the same region as this person has concluded are racial color discriminators towards African men then the conclusion can indeed be drawn that Anna being one of them must also be a racial color discriminator as well.  Thanks for the extra light to highlight the TRUTH about this which of course was already there.  Also then it seems the same case can be said for Mark as well.

Furthermore, I am curious to know what this person knows about being the victim of racist color discrimination themselves.  Note the words:  racist color discrimination themselves.  No matter thanks for the extra light added to the TRUTH that has already been given in this 100% accurate post.  We aren't doubters about this post anymore thanks to you.

And if Mark and Anna are "good" at anything they are "good" at being the racists that they indeed 100% accurately are.

Based on the tone of this complaint, I am guessing that the author is an African American who is upset because someone told him "No." The bottom line about Eastern European women is that most of them are not attracted to dark-skinned men. You don't have to like it, but it isn't isn't Mark's fault.

This is just reality. Mark probably knows this. He probably did you a favor by not taking your money and wasting your time. I have actually visited Ukraine and know from experience what I am talking about. If you bothered to google "rascism" and "russia" you will see news articles backing up what I say.
