What is the Anti-scam program?
All agencies that are in the field of international dating suffer from scammers.
Men become more and more suspicious towards women from Russia and other countries
of the former Soviet Union, and many have been turned off completely
once they have had such a negative experience.
Our aim is to help legitimate services to separate themselves from
fraudulent ones.
There is a need for an unbiased source that will help in solving scam
related problems. Any honest agency may have problems because of
scammers. The most important thing is to inform clients about possible scams, and
react timely to their queries. What is missing is a standard procedure
of solving such problems.
We list all agencies that have joined our program. It is free to join. There are some rules
that those agencies should follow, and if the agency does not obey the
rules, it will be removed from the listing. If there is any conflict
with a client regarding fraud matters, we will help the agency in solving
it.
Any dating, introduction, matchmaking or marriage agency that is located
in or deals
with Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and other countries of the
former Soviet Union.
Our source is destined to become one of the most popular starting
points in the search for a reliable dating service. It leads to your credibility.
If you are not listed
here, you are losing customers who could buy from you. Many men are
looking for a reliable service from a particular city to help them in
organizing their visits etc. They could have found you here.
The earlier, the better.
The default listing is according to the ID number of the agency. It
means that the earlier your agency joins the program, the closer it will
be to the top of the list.
There are 3 important steps:
- Read the rules
- Make the necessary changes to your web site
- Fill in the application form
Once we have reviewed your site, it will be added to the listing within
10-14 days.
Don't delay, JOIN NOW!
