The website makes many claims about doing business ethically - they even state that they do not pay the girls on the site.

In fact the site is a portal for "dating" businesses in Ukraine. And the businesses are incentivised to rack up fees. Every bit of communication costs - a letter, a chat, a paid introduction (called an "intimacy request").

The site tells you how the site works, but if you ever actually meet a girl from the site you quickly learn that it is only the beginning of a money trap.

The site itself is very sophisticated - they have a strong business model and do a lot of data mining. The number of girls who will contact goes up as your monthly billing period is coming to an end. If you cancel (and you cannot just cancel you have to wait for the end of your billing period) then the number of girls contacting you will soar.

When you pay (and it is not cheap) for an intimacy request, you are paying for the ability to exchange private information like email addresses, skype addresses and phone numbers - before you pay for an intimacy request the site censors this kind of information. So you pay, thinking you will be able to exchange real emails, make real phone calls, even have skype conversations without paying literally 100s of dollars for a few hours of chatting. BUT.... then what you find out is that the company (the web site in partnership with the dating agencies actually provide the girls with computers. These computers that the girls have at home block all forms of communication - all other email, all other chat sites and skype. So after you have paid for you intimacy request you still are stuck in the money trap of the site.

Many girls definitely are being employed by the agencies (the agencies receive incentive from the website and then pass the incentives on to the girls - web site does not pay the girls directly). They are paid on commission - the more you write them, the more you chat with them the more the girl makes.

Many of the profiles are complete fakes. You can find photos from this site on many other sites - but the profiles are different.

Two different ghost writers - after exchanging many letters - responded to requests for explanations of what was happening. They identified themselves (not by name, just admitted they were ghost writers) and explained the basic operations of the scams. They were based in different cities - one in Ukraine and one in Belorus.

It does seem impossible for the website NOT to know about the scams - the business model provides financial incentives to commit these scams. But they will say, when you do have a problem, that they have no control over the agencies that use the site as a portal.

The saddest thing is that there probably a few sincere women on the site, but finding them - good luck.

If you have any sense at all you will not use this site.

In summary, I would not recommend Hot Russian Brides to a friend.
