Anastasia Federal Lawsuit - Major SCAM

We are looking for other men that feel they have been SCAMMED by the American company called Anastasia or Anastasiaweb. We are filing a Multi Plantiff Federal lawsuit against them for running what we believe to be the largest marriage SCAM in U.S. history. We are wanting to file this in Jan. 04 and there will be NO charge for the Attorney. You can call me direct if you have any information. Thanks, David Starkey 918-342-3648

Fiance.com is OK . . .

Anastasiaweb.com and Fiance.com are operated by two different companies. However I would not say that the two sites do not have a relationship with each other since Fiance.com does promote Anastasiaweb.com's Romance Tours. You can see by the domain name registration information (listed below) that each site is operated by a different company and owner.

It is possible however that the same lady can be listed on both Fiance.com and Anastasiaweb.com so some overlap of profiles may exist. This may be what prompted Joe's claim in the first place. In my opinion, if you find a profile listed on several different sites then I would take caution with that particular lady as she may be promoted by her agency or herself for less than sincere motives. This is not to say she is automatically a scammer, I just advise taking caution.

For example the same lady is profiled on both sites:
http://www.fiance.com/agency.asp?main=page&id=25916
http://www.anastasiaweb.com/russian-brides/ads-099.htm

Notice however on Fiance.com that they have a profile attribute "Is this girl independent?" In this particular case the answer is No. I give credit to Fiance.com for disclosing this information in an upfront manner since this could be an indication of something less than desirable.

It is my opinion that Anastasiaweb.com and it various clone sites do suffer from a bad reputation in the market and are generally considered an unethical operation bordering on fraud. Most of the complaints about Anastasiaweb.com have to do with fake correspondence that subscribers must pay to read. Most users report posting a profile and being inundated with dozens, if not hundreds, of letters from beautiful Russian women expressing their interest in them. The man must pay to read each email message he reads from the women. Basically there is a profit motive for affiliated agencies to send bogus email messages to the men that have registered with the Anastasiaweb.com service. I think there is also a profit motive for the owner of Anastasiaweb.com to allow this to continue contrary to what Anastasiaweb.com claims in their PR literature. Apparently there is a lawsuit in the works that will set the record straight one way or another. As for me, I have chosen not to list or promote Anastasiaweb.com on my website because I do not wish to be associated with a company that has one of the worst reputations in the International Introduction Service industry.
