Hi everyone,
I read some comments here about Elenas Models, although a few good ones, also plenty bad ones, enough to raise alarms on any one. Just also keep this in mind, anyone can write reviews, including site owners, friends and associates. I have in myself in the past written reviews online for a friend of mine. The only difference is my friend had a genuine business, a restaurant with opened doors to the public and was not skimming anyone out of their money.
I joined recently EM like many of you in hope of finding someone for a relation. But let me tell you the real truth about this Site. This is NO different than other Scam sites. EM writes lots of nice Blogs about how other Agencies are dishonest and the techniques they use, but that is only to deflect attention and make us believe actually after all they are honest. Must be, if they point out all dishonesty about others, why not. They may not use a PPL (per pay letter) system, but that does not mean they are not trying to milk you for your money. They just do in another way. Many of the Ladies profiles on EM are Fake, I can say with assurance. EM point out finger at other agencies saying they employ women to correspond to foreigners. And while it is true EM does the same. At EM, like other Scam agencies, once you get your profile active you will start getting lots of “Likes” and women sending you letters. This is just one of the many techniques to lure you into buying a membership. Once you buy your Membership (any type), this supposed women that were so quickly interested in you, quickly loose out their interest, and even disappear. Some they try to be more convincing than others, but the Alarm Flags are the same on all the profiles, in all this same type of Agencies. Yes it is a Shocking Truth, but EM as well as most of the known Dating Web Sites pays women just to model, so they can build fakes profiles with photos of this models, they also pay women just to correspond with men. They also pay men to correspond with you. Actually anyone who can write in good English, and you can easily find this online. So you can never be sure who’s on the other side. Works for well Scammers as they can create loads of attractive profiles, and works for the women, or men, who can have an extra income writing from home. And has normally in countries like Ukraine, Russia, and other former CIS countries wages are quite low, this is good way of getting money. Go online and Google the words (Marriage Agency translation work), but do it in Russian (Брачное агентство переводов работа), or do similar other searches and you will see the Shocking truth. Not all, but some Adverts even go as far as putting their Agency name openly and what are they employing for. Others won’t advertise their name, but they are ALL doing it!
I live in Britain and came across with at least one of this paid woman here. Russian speaking people are everywhere, and this can be a remote home based job, to write to suckers like us. I wrote to a Russian woman, according to her profile living near my city, or maybe not, God knows. She expressed interest immediately, so because I was interested in her I paid for a membership. This is the only to get to write to her. I wrote her, and almost immediately after the moment I wrote, she disappeared. And don’t be fooled, even if you get a contact mobile number for the person on profile, like I did, it is only to deflect attention and seems more credible. That is the length this scammers go to seem real. The women I mentioned she even gave me a UK mobile number, but then she never answered, or replied my Texts. The same with her Skype. She even gave me a Skype address. Now you would wonder why someone who does not ever intend to answer and Texts calls or Skype would give you their number and Skype? It is to seem like the women profiles are real. These women do this for a living. They create fake emails, which you will never ever get any reply. They create fake Skype accounts, which you will never ever get them to answer or switch on their video, even most likely because they are not as on the photos. They go to lengths to make you into believing the profiles are real. EM and other Scam Agencies advertise and pay this women, men as well, to lure you into spending their money, only after you to see NO relation, meeting, Skype video call , etc, will ever materialise. And although I have not been on EM for that long, I have been for years and years in Loads, and I mean Loads of different Dating Web Sites. I have been to Ukraine many times, used to be married to one. I know all this Scams, there is nothing new. My Ex Ukrainian Wife one time went for a job interview in Ukraine, only to find although she would be paid money was not so much of what we in the West call a Job. She was offered to correspond with Sucker Foreigners by one of the many dodgy agencies. As she’s honest enough she declined.
The Alert Flags I have seen in most of other online Dating sites, some well known for being Scams others not so well, are the same in EM as well. I would not for a second spend a penny more on this CONS!! And where there is easy money to be made, the changes of being Conned just increase.
EM says on their Web Page “The Most Trusted Dating Agency”. But where did they get this from??? It is a very Big and Bold Statement, but they are the ones who write themselves. They also write on their Web Site, 1000s of successful relationships, but again, on their web site there are only about 100 reviews of supposedly successful relations, there are no 1000s, and still this reviews were written and posted by the site Administrators. These are not independent reviews posted by the people themselves. Most of the Online Dating Agencies all of them announce themselves as “trusted” “anti-scam”, bla blab la. So what is new with EM?? I have also done some deeper search and this is what I found. EM says they have offices around the world, where the hack are this offices?? When I asked EM Help Desk for their office addresses, they gave me 2 addresses, which are the ones they post online. One in US (382 NE 191st, St # 51099 Miami, FL 33179-3899, USA), other in Australia (Suite 328, 15 Albert Ave, Broadbeach, QLD 4218, Australia). These are NO Office addresses, these are PO Boxes both of them, and the phone numbers are not even real. The US phone number (1 (213) 784-1044) is Voip Number from a company called Vail Lab in Los Angeles. And although the “office” is in Miami the “phone” number is from LA. But as it is a Voip connection this can be anywhere, even in China, so how come this is from an office in US? The Australian number is from a third party company, They say this is the Head office address in Australia, but the Head Office is no more than a Mail Box, with a virtual phone number no one ever answers. The Web site is registered under the name “ELENA GOLD”, located in a server from the organisation CloudFlare in California, San Francisco, USA. The Web site is registered and linked to another different PObox based in Sanctuary Cove, Queensland, Australia. The business hides under numerous PO Boxes, in the states and other countries. It is registered with the name EM Holding Company PTY Ltd, in Australia, where they say to be the Head Office. On the surface it is a web of PO Boxes, phone numbers which are no more then Voip connections and hardly any names. But digging in further I found the Business Holder and Director is a guy called GERRAD DARRIN FIELD, born in Wellington, New Zealand. I also found GERRAD on some sites replying to people reviews as an Elenas Models Rep. GERRAD IS NO REP!! Is a Top man, TOP SCAMMER!! GERRAD is living the life, at his nice Villa with a nice swimming pool and a Pier for his boat, at 22 EXCALIBUR COURT, PARADISE POINT QLD 4216, AUSTRALIA, while us idiots are expected to provide for his life style.
My investigation is still ongoing, just because I had enough of this Scammers. They prey on people. These Web Sites are able to scam decent normal guys of Thousands, millions, only because they prey on people Hopes, Vulnerabilities and desires.
I want to alert everyone. This Site, like 99% of the online sites are SCAM! All the red flags are there.
I have no affiliations to anyone so I am here to help all of us. If you want to find a genuine decent Ukrainain/ Russian/ Eastern European woman as much as you may feel tempted to believe and buy into this sites DO NOT. Save your money. 99% of the Online Sites a Scam, and the likelihood you will ever meet even any REAL woman are very slim, if to say none. I have been in using many of this so called Agencies for years. I have done my homework. Like other guys, I have even been conned into meetings arranged via some online agencies. I went to meetings in Ukraine. The women they are all interested in you, then at the meeting they do not give a Toss about you, your life, and even there many cases online where women are saying complete rubbish about you to the translator. Unless you understand Russian, you won’t even have a clue the crap they say about you. These Agencies are working together with the girls, the meetings are no more than just to get guys money. The translator at the meeting will get paid, but so do the girls as they get commission.
There are still a very few Honest Agencies out there, but this very few are the ones who have real offices, where you can walk in, have a proper real customer support.
I have been in these Kind of sites for years, and as a rule I would suggest the following:
DO NOT engage with ANY Online Agencies who do not have a real photo number (not a Voip connection, or a phone in another part of the world where nobody answers) and real physical offices where you can walk in as well ( Not a Po Box, Suite, etc. All the same).
