I'm curious if anyone has dealt with Anastasia Web.com, I buy credits at the $100 level and every e-mail I send or read costs me about $7.00 is this fair? they claim all their RW are screened as much as possible and that the e-mail cost is good because it includes translation. My theory is that I'm going getting the physical addresses of the girls so I can send them letters and get their real e-mail addresses and correspond that way to circumnavigate the fees. Am I barking up the wrong tree? I've already established contact with about five RW and am liking where its headed.
any comments?Last edited on Friday December 1st, 2006 02:54 am by DrStrangelove

DrStrangelove,
I'm not a fan of purchasing e-mails on an ongoing basis. It may sound good at first, however if one finds an interesting RW the costs can become very steep. Unfortunately many agencies are turning to this business model. But then again, how many e-mails can one reasonably write before making a visit?
Is it fair? that's very subjective. Each individual has to make that decision. Still, it is always a good idea to obtain direct addresses whenever possible.
Perhaps you are ready to develop a strategy to contain costs or at least get a view of how it could or would run in the long term.

Yes I agree. That is why within the first three e-mails I request their address and send them a small package that contains my e-mail and some pictures and small gifts. That way I can go around their policy of no e-mail addresses or websites being able to pass through them. But then I stick to the grls who understand or speak moderate english. I want to stop paying for e-mails as soon as possible.

I have used AWeb for some time now and it suits my needs. I like the pay as you go plan and with translation included, it makes for longer and more informative letters. The letters I receive direct from UW without going through the service are usually short. Most times, this is enough but often I wish for a little more.
On the flip side of this, once you meet a lady and focus on her, use direct contact and get her out of circulation!
Now, that being said, AWeb offers the 3 way phone call with an interpreter. It is expensive but you can get direct contact info from the lady. I have used this several times immediately before making a trip to verify everything. The girls really like it also but like direct emails, the conversations are short and to the point. No mushy mushy. I have received mailing addresses through AWeb but you need to have the girl provide this and push the agency to include it in an email. I have not been able to receive phone numbers or direct emails but I understand the need to protect both the girls and the business.
I have had good experiences with AWeb. The money can add up quickly but if you set up a once a week exchange, it is reasonable compared to singles night in the local watering hole. One letter = one drink. Factor in all the other incidentals chasing at home and it ain't that bad.
If you look hard enough, you might find the same lady on an all inclusive sight like ElenasModels or 1st International. I usually look to these for additional photos. I have had only limited success on these sights but others have done well. Another site to try is slavyana.com in Lugansk. She has about 70 girls and charges about 70 USD per month for unlimited usage. I know her directly as she was my 4 day interpreter in Kiev when I met a lady from her service.
Hope this helps a little.

Aweb has a fairly bad reputation for writing letters to men by translators
on their staff. It is quite possible that the woman who you are writing doesn't even know you exist.
Here is a link on Jims list

I could post a dozen others that say the same kinds of things.
Just my two kopecks,
