This is a Ukrainian marriage agency. They purport to offer matchmaking and translation services.
I paid $500 to be able to email with Ukrainian women. I found that the emails were not written by the women but were instead written by secretaries at the company. Most of the ladies that I had written "vanished" when I arrived in Odessa. They could not be found. Those that did appear for dates had no idea what was in the letters - most had thought that I originally had written to them when I had only responded to emails I received.
I found that most of the women were paid daters - they split interpreter commissions and tried to milk dates out as long as possible.
I confronted Brides of Ukraine owner and caught him in lie after lie. He is an unscrupulous person and has no problem lying. I wrote an article about the agency and he since has added "anti-scam" pages to the website in an attempt to make it look more legitimate.
I kept coming to his office and he finally gave me back $100 to try and get me to leave him alone as he was losing new business (I originally paid $500 and then an additional $200).
