The girl signed her letter Ksyusha, when in her profile her name is Kseniya. Is it a scam?
Of course, it is not! The girl just uses common variant of her name to sign her letters. One and the same name can have many variants. It is understandable that Western men wouldn't know all variants of Russian women names, as, for example, it still surprises Russian women when Robert from profile becomes Bob in the letters.

What backgrounds checks to you do and what sort of ID do you check?
It is obligatory that every local agency should check woman's ID - passport in Ukraine (it is not an international passport which is needed only for travelling abroad, and since not many woman can afford traveling, in many cases women just do not have an international passport, it is an internal passport every citizen of these countries receive when he/she reaches the age of 16). There we can check: first name, last name, middle name, date of birth, place of registration (NOT postal address, or living address, but the address where this person is registered. It is usual, but not always, that this place of registration co-insides with the living and postal address for the woman). We do not do background checks, we are not a detective agency, we are marriage and dating agency. We offer services on e-mail forwarding, translation, gift delivery. We can only promise that Ukrainian girls presented on our pages are not married (as this information is given in girl's passport). We can't check unofficial relations of Ukrainian brides - boyfriends, lovers, etc., and if a girl is in relations and comes to us it means her relations are not serious. Women come to us because they want to get marriage, and consider a marriage agency to be a good chance to meet reliable man for love, romance, serious relations and marriage.

I wrote a long letter to a woman, but in reply received only several words, maybe it is a scam?
We completely understand your feelings - when a man was scammed before he is expecting scam everywhere, and this tendency is spreading all over the Internet like a paranoia, and we are really sorry for the whole situation in the field of Internet dating. We try to provide honest services, we rely on the local agencies to deliver correspondence to women. We do regularly check the database, call women to verify their telephone numbers, postal addresses and their interest in our services. We understand that men have to make a choice - to place an ad on the free web-site and risk to be contacted by "gold-diggers" or to pay for the services of the agency and risk to be scammed by the agency. We do not try to talk anyone to be our client - it is your choice what is the best for you - you should just think all this over and make conclusions - Internet CAN'T be reliable 100%, even the best agencies have problems, we are doing our best to solve the problems and aim at 100% reliability. As for replies from women, we do not make women write long letters, they write what they write. We would advise you to consult anti-scam web-site regarding this: men who receive long thoughtful letters from Ukrainian women be careful - it may turn out to be scam.

The majority of women using this site are poor and have no passport so they cannot travel why?
It is the MEN who come to Ukraine to meet a woman/women for the first time. And it is usually the MEN who cover woman's travel expenses when they invite women to visit a place other than woman's native city. Believe it or not, many women can NOT afford traveling abroad, but yes they can afford nice clothes and make up because they are WOMEN and they prefer to look good than to eat good. Our women do not have savings... if you tried yourself to live with a salary of 200-300 USD monthly (quite usual for women in smaller cities, sometimes this sum is even less), paying for apartment, buying food and clothes... for single women with children it is even harder... where could they save? Economy of Ukraine can NOT afford social help to their people, life is much harder here, and this is one of the reasons why so many women are searching for a man abroad - to live in normal country with normal future for their children. But still women from Ukraine can not be bought either with money or a greencard. Ukrainian women are educated, they are searching for equal partnership in a marriage, you are not buying this woman, you are winning her heart and mind. If you want to meet a wife from Ukraine you should read something about these countries and Ukrainian women... and then decide whether a Ukrainian wife is what you really want.

Can I be sure that the girl I write to is real, honest, and wants me but not my money?
All our women ARE real. Of course, we can NOT know that a girl that comes to us to register comes with pure intentions - we do not read minds. And if somebody tells you they can guarantee honesty of each and every girl in the database, it is just not true. No one can know what other person thinks, and what her/his true intentions are... Corresponding with our women you can be sure that when you come to woman's native city to meet the woman in person you will meet her. Plus, there are local agencies that bear responsibility for every woman whose profile they upload. And when a man comes to the woman's native city and has some problems with contacting a lady, he can come to the local agency and ask for help.
