Scam agencies from Ukraine paying women for writing letters and chats to foreigners are quickly adjusting to new requirements that their masters have.
Scam Agencies Keep Hiring More Personnel
I see more job ads seeking women who get paid to write letters to communicate from their own profiles or for models who allow their photos to be used to supply unprofessional selfies every month.
It doesn’t mean that the women who write letters are indeed interested in men who use the site. It only means that employees of the local agents are better prepared to stand the checks that the “master” agency requires.
I can say that for as long as you are paying for each communication (and the local agency that supplies profiles gets commissions), there will be abuse in pay-per-letter Russian, Ukrainian dating sites.
Below is the collection of ads that I pulled off the Internet today, demonstrating how actively local agents are bypassing requirements of their masters.
Did you believe that fake profiles are just a few bad apples among the wonderful landscape of paid chat beauty queens?
The scams are not rare but widespread, pervasive in every paid chat dating site. And these local agents (and master sites) are unable to change how they operate.
The only thing these scamming agents are after is commissions. Not relationships.
- They don’t care about you
- They don’t respect you
- They think you are a fool, and the fool and his money…
Just like the general dating industry where clients suffer from systemic abuse through chat bots and fabricated profiles, Russian dating industry is riddled with scams. Pay-per-letter schemes encourage the spread of moral decay. By paying for chats and letters you finance people that you probably deeply despise and provide incentive for more scams and fraud in international dating. They aren’t stopping it. Just trying to avoid detection better.
Refuse to pay for communication. That’s the only way.

We repeat our offer to open our systems and servers to any media outlet or industry insiders. There is nothing in our system but people registering themselves and contacting other users how they wish. Elenasmodels.com challenges any other Russian, Ukrainian or Eastern European dating site to do the same and come clear how they get their profiles, what incentives they offer (commissions etc.).
We are even happy to show media how we catch scammers and explain what barriers we put in place to ensure our members don’t get ripped off.
Since mid-2015 Elena’s Models doesn’t accept profiles of women whose photos are used on PPL (paid chat, pay per letter) sites. If we find a person who is a part of PPL systems, we delete such profiles. We also do not accept any former employees (“translators”) of such agencies, due to unfortunate legacy of these systems.

Just disgusting!!
Thank you for informing people of this leecherous behaviour and tramslating the above for us to read. Prior to reading this I signed up with Victoryaclub, despite thinking they all looked super hot and most looked like professional models. Straight after i signed up i received a steady bombardment of views/likes/favourites/messages from women. I was quite excited these gorgeous clever women could see what a gentlemen I was without even needing ANYTHING on my profile(excepting alias name). basically liking/favouriting/viewing a blank profile.
