So you think PAID dating sites are safer?

No, they're not. Scammers often use stolen credit cards to register on paid dating sites. Some paid dating sites, while not a scam in themselves, PAY for 'agencies' in poorer countries to create profiles of pretty ladies, communicate with men, and coax them into buying 'gifts' via the site. One such network of dating sites is 'Anastasia International', which has 'Russian' and 'Asian' themed sites. Here is the fee structure for payment to 'agencies'...

For each Lady's letter (except first letters) you will get $1.5 For each Lady registered in the system you get $2 For video of a lady loaded in to a profile you get $20 For flowers and gifts delivery you can get on average $80 For each success story with photos and video that you get $250 Bonuses: For every 10 profiles - $200 First Welcome Bonus For every 40 profiles - $800 Second Welcome bonus $200 bonus will be added for every 10 additional profiles.

These are fees paid to the 'agency', by Asianbeauties.com. MEN pay to join and communicate with pretty 'chinese' girls on this site, and pay per message. Real 'marriage agencies' in China, intended to hook up chinese women with western men, often engage in outright fraud. They'll create fake profiles with pretty girls, to lure the man to China, then do a 'bait and switch'. The man is also subject to be hit up for 'agency', 'translation' fees, or other payments to the parents. Plesse don't use these 'pay per message' dating sites! Many of the girls involved are fake, or only exist to make money by tricking men into communicating with them, and buying them gifts. Occasionally you may run into a real lady on these sites, after spending thousands of dollars. There are reports online about the unhappy men who went to China to meet them. Yes, they met a real lady...whose only intent was to extract gifts or money from the man. You can't buy love.
