Step2Love and the other sites they own all women profiles are real, however many of these profiles have individuals responding to men who are not the lady as specified in the profile.

All Dating Sites buy a database of women looking for a partner, these databases come in different flavours so to speak. List A is the most expensive and List B is less expensive. The List A database has all profiles of women who actually respond to men as shown in their profile.

List B is a lower cost database and it contains the same real profiles, but many of these profiles will be responded via someone other than the lady shown in the
Profile.

No Dating Site has their own team or people located within the targeted country. They buy these lists from local Dating Agencies, such as Orchid Agency in Ukraine.
The Dating Site has no direct contact with any woman listed on their site. All communications flow through the local Dating Agency in that country.

The former Eastern Block countries and Russia today, all these people have very low income. The local Dating Agency hires people to respond to men, the agency places newspaper ads in local papers and advertise on local web sites looking for women to work the Dating Site.

When a women in Ukraine for example wants to find a foreign husband, she signs up with a local Ukrainian Dating Agency (Orchid). The women have no money for photos and many may not have laptops. The Local agency provides all this to the women. In exchange the women are allowed to chose which 2 Dating Sites they want to respond to. For all other sites the local agency uses a "paid" person to reply to all correspondence.

Many times you can tell the person you are communicating with is not the lady in the profile as they will not use video chat. Thought this is not always true as some women have no camera and must borrow (from agency) or go into the office to use agency computers.

If someone complains that the lady they are communicating with is not the real person, the Local Agency (Orchid) will contact the real lady, have her voice a video reply to the complaint. But she never actually signs onto the site you are complaining about.

So there are not ladies trying to scam per say, yes there may be some. But the vast majority of problems are with the local Agency and the Dating Site who knows exactly whats is occurring.

There are some Dating Web Sites that only use List A databases, for example RussianLoveMatch.com and its sister site Find_Brides.com and RussianDesire.com all other sites that I have reviewed for the most part use the List B databases. There are some exceptions to this rule, some smaller Dating Site locally owned within the target country will generally have real ladies to each profile.

So one must be careful to understand what is going on.

Thank you very much for your feedback and different agencies descriptions. We can not comment on any other agency but ours. We do not buy any lists and we do not believe in any lists. All our ladies come to our agencies in person. They are being interviewed and validated. We keep the copy of their passport on file. And the manager who interviews the lady has a good feel of why the lady would like to sign up with our site, And only the best candidates are being enrolled in our program. We have translators who work with the ladies who do no speak English as well as online translation software for those who learned English in school or college but they are still mastering it. All our ladies are available and participate in the video chat and they all are who they say they are in their profiles. Many of the ladies come to our offices in different cities of Ukraine, while some of them have computers at home. When our clients travel to the cities in Ukraine, they often visit our offices and meet with the managers if they have some additional questions.
