In my OPINION...

Based on the reports that I have received...

It APPEARS that this site/agency...

...rubs me the wrong way.

They contacted me first, before I knew about them. I added them to my White List.

I started to get complaint after complaint about them.

I removed them from the White List.

They started to whine and cry and swore up and down that nothing bad was happening at their agency.

The complaints continued to come in. Some of them are BAD!

Complaints...

The first complaint is a long, notarized story that tells the story of a guy, writing to 2 women and the first woman that he goes to visit confesses that she never wrote any letters to him and never knew he existed until 10 minutes before meeting. Then the 2nd girl is out of town and can't meet; even though she said she was excited to meet him up until a few days before the meeting.

Hi Jim,

UFMA is definitely a scam.  I exchanged about ten letters with two women.  Both
were very romantic, flowery intense letters which I fell for.  I
 booked a booked a flight to Kharkov and met the first girl. First, the girl was 45 minutes late
to meet me in the office (time for which I was billed), and she was quite cold
and even looked disinterested--nothing like the lovely letters (and photos) we
had exchanged.  Of course her English was terrible so the translator at dinner
handled everything.  My girl asked me strange
 questions--the answers to which we had clearly written about ("how's work?"--she knew I was unemployed and looking
for a job).  It soon became clear that this girl hadn't read my letters, but my
head was in the clouds and I held out hope.  When I asked her for her phone
number, or where she lived she became annoyed--again nothing like the love
letters we wrote.  The next day the agency director said that she "had been a
difficult girl" so he removed her from the database!  Later I learned that
either she did not enjoy being a fake dinner date or Sergei (more likely)
refused to pay her as much money as she wanted for showing up. 

The next girl I had been writing had suddenly "moved to Poland" when I arrived!
 Several months later she remain s listed in the website, despite Sergei's claim
 that "he didn't have time" to remover her. 

Sergei did offer me to meet "his neighbor".  She met me in the office, with her
mom standing there too!  Of course this was another costly meeting which went
nowhere because we had not corresponded and had little in common when we met. 

Several months after retuning home a friend  had also written to a different
woman in the same agency that I had written to.  Interestingly, several of the
letters he received contained several of the exact same paragraphs! 

Jim, it is clear to me that Sergei offered local
 girls to have their photos made and given to them by a professional photographer in exchange for use on the
site.  And if a guy (like me) actually comes into town, then the girl must show
up to meet him and play along--perhaps receiving additional compensation. 

For these reasons of my direct experience, and my friend's experience, UFMA is
clearly a scam. 

But what about the videos endorsements?  Sergei enticed me to make one for him
(see Dave USA).  The combination of beautiful love letters, pretty girls,
and Sergei's smooth excuses and congeniality convinced me to make that video.

I strongly suggest you save other guys heartache and expense and list UFMA on
your black list.  There is no grey area here.

Sincerely,
****
