Elenas models
There is a large Russian personals site called Elenas models. What is the truth about this site? There are many reports about scams with Russian girls on Elenas models. I did some research and this is what I came up with about Elenas models. Most if not all of the Russian girls scam reports about Elenas models were put up by the competition. I can not say this for sure, but I am confident this is what happened.
Who is Elenas models?
Elena is a Russian blonde that married a foreign guy and set up a Russian personals dating service. I think the site is based on a network of private dating services out of Russia. The company has been in business for a long time and there are many happy clients.
Alternative to Elena’s models
This site -> vkontakte.ru is the largest site in the world for Russian girls and its free. However, if I was a single guy (I am married, American and live in Eastern Europe) I would try:
- vkontakte.ru
- Free Ukrainian and Russian online dating. It is free, in English and these girls are looking to be a bride.
- Maybe a few profiles on sites like Elena’s models as I think these girls on Elena’s models are really looking for marriage, but again why do this when you could do free online dating? This is what I recommend

Sorry to say but Elenas Models consist of lots of scammers. And the agency protects them in order to get lots of subscriptions. That´s the truth.
Thanks for the comment. I was just going by what I thought. Do you know this from experience or what you herd? It may be true, I just do not have objective information.
Elena Petrova lives in Australia where the head office is too. She is real and genuine. I met my wife that way after speaking to Elena herself. Your investigation was indeed very superficial if you did not even know that. It is in fact information you could get on her website. Elena is a highly educated woman.
You battle to write proper English and your spelling is atrocious. Why do you knock people who are so obviously your intellectual superiors?
Free websites are loaded with scammers. You pay peanuts, you get monkeys. Ever heard that one?
If you read my post this is basically what I said that Elena Petrova is sincere. I do not think Elenas models is bad at all, rather I prefer free. I disagree that you need to pay and the free ones are for scammers. Free is the way of the future. In fact I think the contrary. Is Facebook a scam? No. Neither is vkontakte.ru.
I would like to say… when Elena’s Models website is good, better then interfirendship.com or dating.ru… but as I saw… more than 60% mans are married and not serious… I had a profile there… but after get upside and deleted…
And more, Russian girls are living not only in Russia, but in Uzbekistan and in Kazakhstan…. In all Old Soviet Union Countries …. And they also would like to find a love from Internet…
Ilona, yes I agree. The old republics are beautiful exotic places. They are almost other worldly your advice is very good. The most beautiful rarest wild flowers grow in the most remote unexpected places.
Is Elenas Models totally free or only free to sign up. I imagine any correspondence with Elenas cost money? I do admit that it is nice to have a sight with a keyword search.
I met a woman on Elena’s Models site in April of 2009. We got each others email addresses and write each other every day. We also talk on weekends using Skype. I went to Russia in September of 2009 and she met me at the airport. She treated me like a king. I spent 2 weeks in Omsk with the most wonderful woman. She is coming to America on June 21 2010. We will begin our lifelong family together. Elena’s Models is a wonderful site! If there are any scammers, I do not believe Elena has anything to do with this.
Thanks for the comment, I think generally this is what I have herd about Elenas models.
Hmm. You know, it is hard to tell if you have NEVER used the site, found someone or a few, met scammers, got scammed, and then made a blog about REAL experiences. Have I got scammed? NO. Just saying that in order to really tell if things are frauds, you have to bite the ball and try first…and get taken advantage of or find blogs online of people who got taken advantage of or find someone who has. All in all, I think scammers are everywhere, they want to ruin loves. Real people however don’t want to ruin your life and a lot of them are probably on Elena’s models, waiting for the perfect guy to come and meet them.
I found plenty of BEAUTIFUL women on Elena’s models, yet none of them have contacted me…..yet. Odd but still….
And russianlovematch is bull, I emailed the guy who runs it and said is this site real? and he replys “it is 100% real”. MY ass it is…. I have found some pretty women there, too bad I can’t actually see them. Innarosa, 43 years old, dam sexy. Short blonde hair. adorable face and pretty blue eyes. Does she exist???? I wonder…..I like her.
Now I know who exists, and I know her…somewhat. We chat online. Lana Dora Battagello. Italian(mmmm, italian women), 56 years old, divoraced(I don’t know how long, years probably), beautiful, sexy, perfect body, a cute, slight little temper, nice, slender fingures, a smile to die for and she is such a sweetheart. I cna flirt with her and she doesn’t mind. HEHEEE. OH yes, and she is looking for a relatsionship…perhaps, maybe. On her other facebook, it says” here for: friendship, serious relationships, dating….”
SO if any of you wanna date her, go ahead and try your luck but I warn you….SHE IS MINE so back off. She will be mine in heaven, maybe not here but heaven for sure…LOL She may not know it, but I have a crush on her…hahah. SHHHHH. Maybe she does know it, but oh well……IN heaven,my love, in heaven.
I think Elenas models is pretty good as is Facebook and mail.ru etc, but the best if to meet people in real life if it is possible for your life situation.
The truth about Elenas models
Well I have to agree with a female’s opinion on here.
Since I live in one of CIS countries, I can tell that the quality of men on Elenas models are extremely poor, and I think the whole model site is total scam – they ‘sell” women’ there. Like every business it’s just a business – as well for Ms Elena too, the difference between any other business and this business is this one is more dirty. The good are innocent women ( most of them ) on one side and different psychopaths and losers on the other side. So any girl who would go on there in best case will destroy her nerves system – in worst case will be a victim of assault. So do I think as a model looking gorgeous female that this site is good – 100% no. Moreover this websites trade the “health and nerves” of naive women who went on there and cash out different psychopaths which they defend in the end, because they are getting money from them. As for psychopath – that might worth it – for some 100- 500 bucks they are getting whole field of stupid innocent girls who are dreaming about “beautiful overseas” in their heads and after getting used many times – some of them gave up wasting time and health and emotions and those who are patiently went to the final destination – marriage and moving abroad in most of the cases are getting into sexual slavery and they hate that day of naiveness when they went to that site. You can go to ‘antidate.org’ and read whole bunch of horrible stories of sex slavery – real thrillers that happen to those poor girls on this website. I remember the best the story of one woman who had a child from previous marriage and naively started to look for good father for the child and husband for yourself in internet. She met a guy from Australia, he was over sweet went with gifts and flowers, they met 3 times – then he insisted on making fiance visa -poor girl naively agreed. When he brought her to Australia nightmare started, he put her and son in some closet and used her as a slave, one time by chance he was lucky enough to escape and asked relatives to buy her a ticket to flew home. She and her son cant still recover from the shock, another girl describes a similar situation with guy she met on Elenas Models with more ‘thriller’ actions in both cases girls were not the first victims of the psychopaths. By the way – that both of the guys are still in “active mode” on Elenas Models – and only thanks to the websites like ‘Dont date him girl’ or ‘Antidate.org’ – women can hear the numerous horrible stories. Dont date him girl is international one and it’s actually the way much softer complaints and when I read all this thrillers about Elenas Models on Antidate.org – website that protects Russian girls those are really great script for horror movies. And despite the letter sent to the Administration of Elenas Models those psychopaths are still on freedom and are looking for the next victim to come. That’s why in big cities women turned off from foreigners as well as dating sites – just the way too many horror stories on here and I don’t believe in any marriages that had ever happened there. So on this sites nowadays you will only meet girls from far village who are not well-informed about those foreigners who go to dating sites, such as Elenas Models.

Soviet girls see the world in a negative way
You comment is so wrong and off base. I have nothing to do with Elenas models nor any other dating site. I know that it does not work out for many but others and many others it works for. It is a business, but so is growing food, making clothes, and writing in a magazine. But does that mean it is wrong? Match making is an old and time honored profession.
I also resent your comment that girls from the village are naive. My family comes from Eastern Europe and it is nothing like that. The smartest people I know are from the countryside as they lived in clean air and not polluted by the toxic negativity of the cities and towns. I suspect you are a Soviet girl (that is everything is wrong and negative generally) and you have dark polluted glasses to see the world as such.
I lived in Eastern Europe a good part of my life. It is not like you say at all, in fact I do not think the west is always better. You know that. In Eastern Europe you can have a nice wooden house and a forest or a flat in the city and live a better life than many Americans. Russians know this and they do not leave beautiful Russian in mass migration because life is nice in the Europe.
I do also recommend free dating sites to guys as more girls are on sites like mail.ru than Elenas models. I think normal Russian mail servers with a dating website on it are the best choice but they are in Russian. There are also sites like freepersonals.ru. But come on Elenas models is not travelgirls.com and it is not like you say at all.
I looked through Elena’s model for dating and also read a few things on other sites about them. from what I’ve read they sound like the place to go to. I would like to hear from anyone that might have had a bad experience there though. Just to know if this is a good company for meeting Russian girls.
Got scammed and attempted to get scammed by Elenas Models girls. Guys, this site is infested with scammers. Stay clear of it. I met my Ukranian wife visiting. the Ukraine. This is the best way to go
Hello… interesting thread and would like to add a few things based on personal experiences at Elenas models. I was a paying member there for a short period, less than two months I’ll say, and I am no longer a member by my choice.
The question of whether or not it is a scam keeps coming up. I do not know if it is or not. How could I? I have no proof of anything, but I can tell you some things that you cannot know unless you are a member.
I offer this for the benefit of people who are thinking about joining. Plus, I believe it is important to know what you’re getting in to just so you know the deal a little better.
I personally feel the marketing is deceptive when they say it does not cost anything to contact women. I believe that is a FAQ Q and A there. Elena defends that position by saying there is no additional charge to contact women — after you pay to join.
You can create a free profile and check out all the ladies, etc. Clever marketing, of course.
However, if you want to contact them you must join a paid subscription level. You can send expressions of interest and receive them. You can receive emails or messages from women. But you cannot contact them unless you pay.
In my mind, that is not exactly free. I do not care how you slice it.
Elenas model website gets a huge amount of traffic. Check out the Alexa rankings for it. I did some experimental searching there, using their engine, and it is clear that the ratio of men to women is a total joke – ludicrously favored toward the women.
So think about this guys…
The more attractive looking women must get an insane amount of EOI’s – expressions of interest. If she replies that she is interested, then you write her and may or may not ever hear back.
I will say that all things that happen there seem to have the effect of taking a great deal of time.
I have no doubt there are women there who are out to scam. Come on… an 18-22 yr old hottie is interested in a guy in his early 50s? Uh.. right.
Proceed at your own risk. But, I have to say women like that are in the minority. Most women want to find men a bit closer to their age, but they do seem to be flexible with their age criteria.
Yes, I exchanged correspondence with a handful of women. A few seem totally whacked in the head – but whatever. lol
I am still in contact with a woman from the Ukraine. But she seems to only be able to write on the weekends. Not sure what the deal is – certainly not emotionally invested in this. I cannot be, at least not at this early stage.
Oh.. almost forgot…
A LOT of the profiles you see on the home page, and in the search results, are sort of dormant profiles. I say that because you look at the “last time logged in’ and see stuff like 30, 60, 90 days, etc.
Those women could be communicating with someone and have no interest to keep looking. Or, they could have given up and no longer go there.
I sent a ton of EOI’s to women who had not been there in a while, even as little as 7 days, and the EOI’s were never read. You can check to see if your communications get read.
Also.. at the bottom of the ladies’ profiles you can see the percentage of men who visited that profile and sent an EOI. Almost ALL of them are very high in percentage, like close to 100% for most of the women.
That goes back to my earlier comments that the ratio is a joke. It’s a field day for the women there. But whatever… good for them.
If people have succeeded there at EM, then that’s great and all that. But, I personally believe you need to be prepared to spend a helluva lot of time to find someone. Plus you will will either join the gold or platinum level subs and renew probably at least once or twice.
There are things about the marketing, positioning, and ‘perspective’ offered that are deceptive or borderline deceptive. I will not say if that means it is a scam — but I do feel it is not right.
If I knew what I know now about EM’s, I would not have joined. Seriously. But, you have to make up your own mind, of course.
Good luck!
Elenas models
Thanks Anon. Unfortunately this was too late as I’m already a Gold member for the past 2 weeks. Firstly I don’t think Elena’s Modela has a lot of scammers due to their strict scam control policies. I do fully agree with the ratio of male to female members registered. I did a quick search of all men of age 25-50 and found whooping 12,800 profiles, and a search of all women of age 18-50 returned around 6360 profiles..The ratio of 2:1 according to me is not acceptable..And I have so far sent “Expression Of Interest” (EOI) to around 50 girls and only one of them responded positively, and unfortunately she didn’t reply to my email. Something I never understood, I believe there is a middle man (in a form of 3rd party agency) involved between us and the girls who reviews the profile of guys who send an EOI or an email..Just a guess..
I agree with you. I do not think Elena’s models has a lot of scammers. It is a family run business that has been around for many years and has enough critical mass not to need to pump up their profiles with fake women and can afford to have a strict policy for quality control.
I used to work for a dating site network quality screening firm in Eastern Europe and some companies, established companies are really strict about profile approval, in fact the name of the company I use to work for was profile approval.
I have involved mail exchanges, not all flirtatious
I have had dialogues of as few as three to as many as 40 exchanges with a few women.
With one I had a dialogue on Buddhism, her religious phiosophy, and on why date a Russian woman.
Another about exercise.
Another wanted help with an Excel class she takes.
A fourth is a former music teacher, shy but learning to do conversation e-mails. These ladies range in age from 39 to 59. I am 58. Have an interesting profile, select a lady with something in common, write an interesting first e-mail, and you will get a response.
An EOI is lazy. Its like leering at a woman at a club rather than walk up and start a conversation. How many women at a club would you expect to respond to you if you just leered from across the room ?
I have a had a few not reply to e-mails, but not the well chosen for mutual interests, or to whom I sent an amusing remark about their profile.
Of the four I am writing to, all say their English is poor, but they use online translators and we can clearly understand each other. I hope to meet one beauty in October 2011. I don’t care if I sit across a table and exchange e-mails with her or chat, if we find we love the conversation, the chemistry will be there, and so will real affection.
My favorite has assured me there will be no doubt in my mind when I visit her, of just how much she likes me.
Keep the age range under a 20 year gap, or less.
Hi Jack,
Sorry to hear you joined. I really do not think there are a lot of scammers there, either. I had one very strange experience, and I reported it to the helpdesk. They said they would look into it, or something like that. But I her profile was still active, last visit within 24 hours, at the time I deleted my profile and left.
I cannot remember what kind of searches I did that were similar to yours so I could get an idea about the ratio. But the searches I did revealed a much more disproportionate ratio; it was something like 5:1.
But then I saw something, an ad I think, by Elena’s Models and it said over 140,000 profiles. I believe maybe that is the total number of profiles since she has been in business which is over 10 years.
The thing that bothers me about it is that perception is skewed to lead a person to believe there is a thriving membership there, etc. When in fact, as I discussed in my first post, I totally believe it is anything but thriving.
I think the whole business model is based on a revolving door of men who pay (a minimum) of $100 to join and then leave when they find out how well it does “not” work.
There is a reason they will not let anyone join and pay on a per month basis. They would never have anyone renewing the second month, and their profit would plummet.
For those who are ot aware, the least expensive plan is $99 for three months, and it is set on auto-renew for a second three months.
Hi,
I have a comment to the last few posts based on my fresh experience. I got scammed right way when I started my profile. A girl wrote to me that she thought I was the ‘man of her dreams’ – spooky! I answered her mail, and before you knew it she wanted to meet with me. She talked about getting a visa and all. I then wrote to her that I could not send her any money for the visa, but if she sent me a copy of her passport and the visa, then I would be happy to pay for everything. And guess what, she never wrote to me again!
I complained to the EM staff, but they were not very interested in taking any action (one can wonder why that is…)
Like some of you I have also sent EOI’s and letters to a number of women, and the response rate has been really poor.
All in all i think this establishment STINKS! I will delete my profile as soon as I have made sure they won’t bill me for the next 3 months. I would not recommend this site to anyone looking for a russian bride.
Wow I am surprised. I guess I go back to my point, travel to these place and meet the girls face to face. Also consider many of the free dating sites I recommend. But I would not rule out the pay ones. I would write them again and ask for your money back.
I am also surprised at the male/female ratio of Elena’s models, though I shouldn’t be. It is heavily advertised and let’s face it: it doesn’t require much commitment for a Western male to sign up. On the other hand, it requires some preparation and probably some expense for the girls to get on board with a decent profile.
I agree with Joe, about just meeting a girl while visiting the Ukraine. I was there just once and I was surprised how many women seemed interested when they realized I was a westerner. However, I had to gone to meet a girl I had contacted over the internet and I was “taken”, so to speak. I remember sitting in some nightclub with my date and one pretty girl was just glaring at me. Other times when we went to eat at a restaurant, the waitress would suck up to me while ignoring the girl I was with. This happened in numerous situations – hotel check-in, the railway station, shops, the bank…. I don’t know if this was a social norm, where the male gets the attention or if it was because I was a foreigner. In any case, I felt that I had good possibilities for meeting girls by just being in public, dressing nicely and behaving like a gentleman.
If I had to do it over again, I would take the following strategy:
1) Get a fake tan, if my natural tan wasn’t in season. Superficial, sure. But likely to make you stand out.
2) Buy some fashionable clothes appropriate to my age, or at least for the age I appear to be. Of course, you should be doing this anyways, but sometimes us guys lapse into complacency.
3) Learn some basic Russian to the point one could initiate a basic conversation or initiate a simple inquiry that leads to a conversation.
4) Secure decent lodging in a neighborhood with a dense population of women. I once visited a Russian woman who lived far on the outskirts of Riga, Latvia. After my arrival, my hostess was constantly answering knocks at door, and turning away nosey neighbor women, occasionally letting one in for an introduction to her male guest. Attracting the curiosity of the local women might be your best weapon.
5) Try and make the acquaintance of some locals prior to visiting. A local guy can put you on the right trail for interesting women, since he knows the lay of the land, what to look for, possibly WHO to look for. Local married women are more likely to try and hook you up with a female friend or relative. I’ve noticed in this part of the world, friends and family can come into play very quickly.
6) Consider hiring an independent guide to show you around for a day or two. I’ve a long, successful, history as an independent traveler in Europe, but things get more complex when everything is written in Cyrillic. Its a different world in the east.
7) Find a city that is interesting to visit, because some of these cities in Ukraine are the equivalent of Detroit.
I could probably think of some other ideas, but I’m out of the game. Still, I recommend that adventurous guys consider all their options.
Best of luck to all, and remember attitude is everything. Anyone who said they never had a chance, never took a chance!
Elenas models
It is funny I am working on a post right now about this, that is how I would attract Eastern European girls if I was single. If I had to do it again (which I do not intend to ever). If I just got off the plane in cargo shorts and t-shirt with my bag in tow. What would I do.
Your comments are excellent.
Just a quick comment. I just joined Elena’s Models out of curiosity, I also paid to upgrade to a gold package which lets me view more pictures, etc. Before my profile was even approved I was emailed by a staff member to remove some financial information in order to avoid scammers. They also have a page with clear recommendations to NEVER send money to anyone no matter what unless you have met them face to face. There will always be loser scammers everywhere but Elena’s site seems to have the intent of being good to it’s members. After all, they will make the most money from subscriptions and being a good site, rather than piss everyone off to cater to some scammers. Its common sense and math.
Cheers.
Elena Russian online models
I also need to clarify something that Anon said that makes a significant difference.
His quote is “Also.. at the bottom of the ladies’ profiles you can see the percentage of men who visited that profile and sent an EOI. Almost ALL of them are very high in percentage, like close to 100% for most of the women.
I think Anon may be interpretting this backwards. The copy and paste wording from that site is as follows “Expression of interest response rate: 100%” This is what is at the bottom of one woman’s profile that I added to my favorites. Some say 70%, some say 0%.
What this means is that when men send her an Expression Of Interest, she has responded to 100% of them. So it seems unlikely to me that a woman is going to be able to respond to thousands of EOI as suggested by there being so many men and so few woman. Or she’s a scammer and is responding to all of them. In any case I wanted to add my 100 dollars worth of what that response rate means.
So far in about a 2 weeks I’ve recieved 7 EOI from what look lile normal legitimate females. They’re not supermodels 22 years old. A couple have a few extra pounds, some look very nice but not too good to be true.
Thanks for everyone’s comments. This has been a very good post to read through.
Good luck everyone.
Please don’t let yourself be fooled by photoshop air-brushed photos. The poor girls been recommended to pay for professional photographs. If you are going to meet anyone from a similar site always ask for a number of normal new pictures. If she refuse to send you pictures: 1) possible scammer, 2)very ugly woman (I am not been horrible but you do not want to spend thousand in travel expenses to find out I am right), 3) time waster, not serious.
Use skype and webcam, this technology will open your eyes, literary.
Good luck.
Skype is a great idea to beat picture perfect photos. Skype can also give you clues about the subtle signs of what a person is like. Good suggestion here.
Elena models feedback
Its me again writing after 2 months, scroll up and see my first post replying to Anon’s message. So here is my current statistics:
Gold member for 3 months (3 more to go), Total EOI sent: 230, EOI responded as “Interested” – 12. I have sent emails to all 12 girls after receiving positive EOI and only handful of them replied. I’m now happy that there is this one girl with whom I’ve exchanged a number of messages, then onto some Skype chat and finally had a phone conversation. I’m determined to take this as far as I can. The only frustrating thing is that half of the girls that responded positively do not speak or write proper English. The trick is to send as many EOIs as possible, as Elena states in website, you can send 99 EOIs and get one response. It isn’t necessary to go through the girl’s profile in detail, I for one check the pictures, age, marital status & if she has any kids. You’d only know what the girl is like and how her English is when you communicate with her.
The point I wanted to make here is that it is worth joining the site, except that things won’t happen overnight and might be painstakingly slow. I would suggest to sign up for a 6 month membership.
Elena's Models website personal experience from Australia
Hello,
My name is Juan, I am 27 years old living in Australia but originally from Mexico, I tried the Elena’s Models website with a 3 month Gold membership to find a woman, and I can give you my opinion and experience. I send many EOI like Jack recommended, I got many responses from many girls, but as Jack said, many stopped writing back, others only care about money or citizenship. Well after some time only 5 beautiful women remained, I chose one that is really beautiful in every way, in her heart, soul and physically. I think she is the most funny and amazing girl that I have ever met. We try to video chat everyday on Skype, we have several interests in common but for me the most important part is that she likes me for who I am not for what I have or how much money I make.
I feel so lucky, she will come to visit me soon. She will even pay her ticket to get with me, she doesn’t matter where I live. I already feel like I love her, I only hope that she will fall in love with me when she gets here. I can see myself having a life with her.
Also I can say that the best girls are from Russia, but try the ones that live out from Moscow and St. Petersburg. It takes time, perseverance, positive attitude and luck. Also it is totally true, there are many more men than women on the site.
Elena's Models is legitimate but there are alternatives going to Kiev
There is another alternative and that is to go to Kiev or another city where Elenas models have an office. I actually met a woman through Elenas Models and I flew to Kiev to meet her. I went to the office in Kiev and the manager Uri, was actually very good to me. He helped me find lodgings, he may have gotten a kickback but he did work to find me a nice place, and the woman who I had flown across the world to see was not immediately available, so I picked out some other women which he promptly called and I immediately had a date. Also he provided me with a wonderful interpreter. I look ten
years younger than I am, still, I was sixty at the time and I went out with a hot girl who was about thirty.
I did not know exactly how to react to the women as I had previously been with another woman for many years. Whatever, when we went out to dinner, the woman tells me that her husband abandoned her and she was left with two children. She said something about she did not believe love was real, but she had a friend who had married an American and was very happy. Of course this is all through an interpreter,and maybe the interpreter was protecting me by telling me that woman said she did not believe in love. I was not interested in starting an orphanage, so I lost some interest even though the women was very sexy. I must say I have a failing when it comes to looks, I am sucker for beauty, but I do not find most woman that beautiful, I amazed at how Hillary Swank has done so well, even Reese Witherspoon is a bit
mousy to me. I only say this because some guys see tens everywhere and I do not. As an older guy Raquel Welch, was a ten, and Charlize Theron at her best is a ten. So this girl was not a ten but say a solid seven and Scarlet Johansson a solid eight. And add to fact that I am thirty years older than her. Well, after dinner as we are driving home we drop off the interpreter, and the woman starts holding my arm and getting close to me. At the same time she tells me she wants to see me the next night, but I tell her, I have to meet this other woman that I had flown across the ocean to see. After that she cools off and gets angry with me. The next day, I was told that she found me boring. To make matters worse, the girl that I flew overto see, had lost her looks as she sent me a picture taken many years before. Whatever, Uri the manager tried to find me a date every day.
I really liked Uri, and the interpreter. I did not find the love of my life, but I did see many very pretty women, there are many sevens and eights, and I saw an almost nine once in the office. Kiev is an incredibly beautiful city. There actually might be more pretty women there per square inch than any place in America, except possibly a modeling agency. I think you have much more opportunity if you actually travel there. And you probably have to spend some time there. I am sure some people meet online and they write and fall in love but by actually being in the country, and particularly if you find someone and go back two or three times then she will really be impressed. To reiterate Elenas Models is a legitimate agency but you may find a woman there who is a scammer, or as happened to me the picture was ten years old. But if Uri is still there and you go to Kiev, then you will have real and genuine experience.
Elenas models
Starting to like it
Its me again, Jack wiriting after 4 months. In my last post I mentioned about this girl with whom I was chatting over the phone & webcam. We then decided to meet up in Moscow in June but unfortunately for some reasons she couldn’t travel. Moreover I didn’t see any chemistry between us at all as it was very clear that she is someone who takes pride in being a Russian & to live in Russia and not someone who is ready to marry a foreigner and live in a foreign country. But we are still friends anyway, both of us are connected through Facebook. My search continues, extended my Gold membership for another 6 months, am now exchanging messages with few other girls and response rate is good. Lost count of how many EOIs I sent, should be well over 500 I guess.
The only big problem I had is most girls do not speak or write good English and I really hate when girls use a translator to communicate. I’m not a fan of having a middle man between us. Also some girls really misunderstand the perception of foreign men as if we’re from a different planet and so the girls write the emails in an unusually weird business-like tone. An example – you ask about her siblings and she replies “Thank you for asking me about my family. I appreciate that.” Its an instant turn-off, why can’t they just be themselves !!
My best advice would be that after exchaning couple of emails, request her to do a Skype chat or phone conversation and webcam chat. That’s the only way you’ll get to know the girl, the real SHE.
Agreed, I think I would move to Skype chat pretty fast or you will just be spinning your wheels. Language would be the least of my concerns with finding your girl. When I meet my wife in Poland for example, we spoke Polish at first, now we speak English. My friend’s girlfriend just spoke a basic level of English and now is fine with it. It takes about 1/2 year of dating and most people have no problem communicating in one language or the other.
Elena's is a good site for Eastern European women
I’ve been on there about two months – sure, lots of women said “nyet” to my EOIs but so what? I’ve got several who write and are great leads. I’d say go for it. From what I know of them Eastern Women seem to be lots of fun. But, it’s the internet so use your head – there are many pages telling you what to look for in terms of scammers: I’ve run across a few textbook scams but non from Elena’s as of yet. I spoke to Elena’s mom on a technical issue once – seemed really nice and jovial.
Elena's models account and meeting girls - a personal experience with Elena models dating service
Hello guys, I’ve opened an account yesterday and I paid for the gold membership. Actually I was able to believe that Elena’s models is one of the best places compared to other Dating agencies that take pretty much more money from you. Foe example I was very active through Merry-cherry and there you paid a lot just to read or write letter.
The same story is at Mariya-club, but the second place offers now an online chat, although I don’t want to try how it’s really works. But both places are considered to contain a lot of scammers. However I had a very long communication with a lady at the end on 2008 through the middle of 2009 and I decided to arrange a trip to Sevastopol, Ukraine. Everything went smoothly – we had a some calls, even she gave me after long time her e-mail and personal phone number. Since I don’t believe so much I decided to do a little research according the information we have exchanged at the beginning. And everything was ok at first sight – she was a real person, a teacher in the university, some of her colleges gave me her office phone number there and so on. Since I had a college here whom was in relationship with a lady from Odessa I decided to go with him to meet my lady. And here was the little mistake that has turned everything down. While I was on the way she have sent me an e-mail with her personal phone number. When I was in Sevastopol already I couldn’t find an internet access anywhere, since I had to find the accommodation to spend the nights there. And when I did I decided to go to see her in the university.
She was out of the city and I asked about her phone number since I didn’t knew yet that I already have it. One little bit angry lady gave it to me and I contacted her immediately. We have had arranged a meeting in a local bar and few minutes before the time I had a call from her to ask me if I’m there. And when the time has come she never appeared. Another girl that introduced her as her friend came to me and told me that something is happened with her mom and at the same time she is very angry because of my visit at her university. We have been talking about 10 minutes, she shows a picture of my lady oh her phone and she was really her girlfriend and then she went off. After this terrible meeting I decided to go back in my room and because of the long journey ( 12 hours by car to Odessa and 13-hours by bus during the night ) I was asleep while I just thinking about. Then later in the night I had a call again from my lady, but she found that I’m sleeping and told me that she will call again tomorrow. But she never call me… I was planned to stay 10 days there, but at the 3-rd day I decided to leave Ukraine.
I still wonder why this happened and what was wrong. She gave me a lot of different stupid explanations. Although Merry-cherry is considered to be full of scammers this girl never asked me about money, visa or any financial support. So, probably there are real girls everywhere, but you see what is happened to me – I didn’t knew if I had to cry or laugh. Anyway, what is the strange in comparison between both agencies and Elena’s models… First of all, at Merry-cherry and Mariya-club you receive many letters or winks from the ladies. The letters are different so I suggest they can be real, but you have to lose a lot of money to read them to decide which lady would fit your needs.
Here at Elena’s models probably you will never got a mail or EOI’s from lady firstly. However the price is acceptable for 3 months, but who knows what would be the final effect – probably nothing at all
But I wonder how is possible someone to decide if you are the one or not while looking just of your picture? While I browsing different profiles almost all of them looking for one and only man, family oriented and so on. But probably they will be not interested at all if even shows any interest to read your letter or paid attention to your EOI. I have sent just one EOI for now and I got an answer although it is negative.
I have a doubts that most ladies looking for a high social standard of living, i.e. they are ready to sell their bodies and souls. BTW, I’m from Bulgaria and our social standard isn’t high at all, so probably I’m really not the best option. However I will try to looking there to see what will happen. According the payments if you pay through PayPal you can change immediately to stop recurring billings. Otherwise you can miss the moment but I think they should refund the remains of your money if you decide to cancel!? Anyone who has an experience at this point?

Sure the compation is making up fake stories
Sure make comments like that, I am sure this site is run by elensmodels, I know of several none scammers on that site at this time.
If you know they are fake report them, or give me examples. I have nothing to do with the company. I just think a company in business that long can not stay in business and with a reputation with being based on fakes. It is a family run business so I think they take some care. However, I also think just like spam, scammers might get though but this is not the rule, and they can be reported. I also think there is a lot of negative buzz about them written by their competition, in fact I am pretty sure about that.
Guys, I had commented on this thread multiple times, just do a search on my name. I’ve been a member of EM for about a year and I got to say that although there are scammers everywhere, it is very controlled in this site as far as I’m concerned. And as a member, its your responsiblity to ensure if you are emailing a robot or a real person. If you’re smart enough, you should be able to realise that within few email exchanges, like for example today I got an email from uadreams saying that one of the girls with whom I was communicating with in EM has invited me to uadreams. Sounds like a warning bell?
There are also quite a few girls I communicated with in EM who are also now my friends in Facebook, what more is needed to say if those few girls are genuine or not.
