We start our research by collecting some simple facts first. The website RussianBrides.com visitors are mainly from the United Kingdom, the US, Algeria, Netherlands, and Australia. The site has about, 12000 unique daily visitors. It claims to have over 25000 Ukrainian and Russian women looking for foreign men to mingle and chat with. Signing up takes only a minute or two, and you can register with one-click by linking your Google account. Unfortunately, the site does not offer a Facebook sign up. One negative thing is that the dating portal does not request an email verification, which means that the members are unchecked.
Even if the landing page does not look very impressive and stylish, the operator BATTIKA SIA from Latvia, Riga, has made some effort on the appearance of the main page. The layout is organized, has a superior design and is easy to use. The member’s pictures look very professional, even a little bit too professional for our taste.
Making contact with other members
The website RussianBrides.com offers many features to contact members from their huge database. However, most of them are only available after you have upgraded your membership. The website offers three free emails per day, and “Let’s Mingle” can be used for free every 24 hours. We do more in-depth research on the internet, and at the end, we find quite many complaints and bad testimonies from former members of the dating portal. Some claim that there are plenty of faked profiles in the database. Some argue that the website is operating moderated chats, and others wrote that they got ripped off by women asking for presents and money.
To be honest, almost all women on the portal look like model material, and this makes us think there is something fishy going on. It seems to be true that several agencies are faking the female profiles to get more attention. Interestingly, the fact that members still need to report suspicious activities and scams is funny because the operator advertises his anti-scam policy proudly.
