I've looked at Aanastasia and for the most part it looks OK but I've researched and found both complaints and praise. Any recommends on sources that have worked. I am getting through the intros and newbie information and I want to say thank you. Thus far it has been very helpful.

Dandus,

When you look at their business model it is clear that they have an awesome job in policing such a number of independent agencies.  Their site stated methods to keep the independents on the up and up is by no means bullet proof.  Still, they provide a layer of added protection or assurance that the individual agency can't provide.  This allows at broader range of selection for the clients.  It's caveat emptor... one should evaluate more the agency not so much AnWeb.   Think of AnWeb as a certifying firm though that they are not.

Now, what kind of source are you looking for?

Ronin

P.S. Thanks for the kudos and spread the RussianWomanPrimer word.

Smaller agencies, independant of networks, give far better service & in my opinion & have better quality ladies.

Awebscam is well known as one of the worst with CC running a close second.

Wait, you're saying that Anastasiaweb is a good company???  Everything I've read says that half the girls in their database aren't even available anymore, and that some were never listed with Anastasiaweb in the first place.

One website I read even had a testimonial from a RW who said she is married to an AM living in America and that both her and her husband called and wrote to them asking them to take her listing down.  At first they acquiesced, but then she saw her pictures again, but this time with a different name. :shock: They finally had to go to a lawyer to  have the pictures removed entirely.

Not sure if it's a true story or not, but you don't have entire websites dedicated to reporting your scams if there isn't there isn't something going on.

Also, I removed my profile because they send you 'Letter of Interest' emails from girls, except that they're NOT from the girls, because according to their policy agencies are aloud to play 'matchmaker' and send ladies intro letters without their knowledge whether they're interested in you or not.  Oh and did I mention that reading an Intro letter costs almost $10???  Yeah, a REAL reputable company, about as reputable as Carnival folk, in fact, I think that is an insult to Carnies.

Lets put on our critical thinking hat.  What one may gloss over as a glowing appraisal may ont be what it seems.


...they have an awesome job in policing such a number of independent agencies. 

As with any company, there is a lot of work to be done... but why state the obvious?

Their methods to keep the independents on the up and up is not bullet proof.  

As with any system of checks and balances, why state the obvious?

They provide a layer of added assurance that the individual agency can't provide. 

This sounds good, but why didn't I say it "is" good? 

This allows at broader range of selection for the clients. 

This is indeed a benefit for those that are looking.  Did I say it is a benefit for those using their services?

It's caveat emptor... one should evaluate more the agency not so much AnWeb.  

Bingo!

Think of AnWeb as a certifying firm though that they are not.

How well would a certifying firm do considering that they are not in the certifying business?

It is not my position to review their service quality, however I thing that prospective clients should be very careful when investing into any agency or service in the RW endeavor.

"Awebscam"  That's perfect.  =)

They've even given me 2 free credits to use in contacting a lady.  I'll bet they wouldn't let me get her contact info without purchasing at least 10 though.

From my own experience i know, that my clients have bigger success with free of charge dating web sites than with huge agencies. It is evident! I don't want to say something bad about agencies, but i tell what i saw and what is proved.:)

 

Mila,
