They call their ladies models and this is true: they work as models for the site
They are not looking for relationship, they already have husbands and boyfriends. Elenas-models website is their work. The site is garbage. I was better off on J4Meet.com - it didn’t feel like a continuous money drain. The majority of the girls were genuine and eventually I met my g/f there (it took me about four months). Elenasmodels is hoax. The site is originally designed on basis of deception. They monitor and modify all messages. There is no privacy. But oh well, why would you need any privacy chatting with a paid employee of Elenas-models, right? Anyway, real meetings hardly ever happen on EM. It’s just money vacuum.

paid '$129' for 3 months
paid '$129' for 3 months. Nowhere did it mention the currency as I found out later. It's USD if u wish to know. So pretty deceptive practices for a NON-US BASED company.

I used to app over several years
I used to app over several years. I’ve met in person 3 ladies who were interesting and genuine. Many you write to don’t necessarily respond however this is the best overseas dating platform that i found. i recommend to western men looking to meet ladies in eastern europe

Not Bad, But Caution Is Needed
About 10 years ago, Elena’s Models was genuinely a good dating platform. I personally met beautiful women there and even arranged to meet one in Japan. She was a bit arrogant, but we exchanged personal social media accounts and had several video conversations. Those were real connections.Today, the situation has changed. The number of fake profiles has clearly increased. There are also more women who join just for fun, not seriously. Of course, there are still women who genuinely want to meet someone, but you need to be more careful and realistic than before.Typical Signs of Fake ProfilesOnly one photoExtremely low or 0% response rateExceptionally attractive photosVery wide preferred partner age rangeAlways shown as “online”No reply for over a weekRefusal to share personal social mediaAvoidance of video callsWhen you see several of these combined, it’s almost certainly a fake or agency profile.Common Patterns of Money ScamsThey exchange social media accounts very quicklyThey eagerly agree to video calls early onSoon after, they start asking for money using excuses such as:A sick family memberNo jobThe war in UkraineAs soon as money is mentioned, cut off contact immediately. In these cases, contradictions always appear eventually. For example:They ask for money but never actually try to meet in personThey only call or video chat on their own termsTheir stories don’t line up over timePractical AdviceYoung women tend to have fewer fake profilesTreat approaching stunningly beautiful women like buying a lottery ticket: possible, but very low oddsPopular women receive 10–20 messages per day, so a lack of reply doesn’t always mean “fake” — but remain cautiousFinal ThoughtsElena’s Models still has sincere members, but also many traps and money-driven scammers. You must approach it with a clear head and strong filtering skills. That said, in my opinion, it’s still better than most Ukrainian marriage agencies.

Scam site with paid fake profiles
It’s one thing to express interest in a girl that is not reciprocated. It’s entirely different matter when girls write to you, expressing interest and when you reply, expending your contact points they disappear. For a month now I’ve exchanged texts with only 2 girls, one — clearly disinterested, the other — so desperately determined to make you give up on talking to her that I pitied her plight. Never seen a live face on video chat. And for the remaining 2 months of the subscription I don’t expect to

Recurring payments scam
I can't confirm that all ladies here look like models and are fake. That is true for e.g. "Russian Kisses" or pay by letter sites mostly operated by Russians, sometimes looking more legitimate out of Cyprus but still Russian cheats. The women are mostly average to above average + a few beauties as you would expect from Slavic countries. Actually they do a fairly good job in preventing scammers / people with fake profiles to join.However, I fully support Aaron. They play disgusting games with payment. Promise is to click on a simple button to stop recurring payments that of course are preset so that customers don't experience any interruption in the services, hahaha. The button exists, one can click on it but nothing happens, there is zero feedback/transparency that it has been stopped. Complaint to support resulted in feedback that it has been stopped but what guarantee do I have ? Trusting the guy from support that is paid by this cheat ? I'm 100% certain this has been done intentionally, everything else is done professionally and just at this sensitive place there is a bug ???!!! They simply don't care about unfriendly mails from customers if they can milk more out of them. I have no experience but I trust Aaron in that and I have seen it on a similar site that profile deletion doesn't help even though that is a very clear message that someone is not anymore interested in their "services"The only reliable method to save yourself from such fraud is to obtain a new credit card. Easier with Paypal, there is also an option to stop recurring payments on their website. I considered the site to have an honest business model since it is supposably run out of Australia but it looks more like the owner is located in Moscow. Great, with such a business model the site will be dead in a few yars. I'm hoping to play a role in that process by warning potential customers.

Stay away
Stay away! This might have been a good site but its a big scam now. Don’t get stuck on the statistics on the website:=> New members this week shows members that have been offline for 30 days - new this week?=> 23K daily communications - every day same number?=> Top 100: majority has not been online for over 30 days so inactive profiles, how can they be top 100?Also, if you want to use the app to chat, you are advised to become a paid member (which makes sense) - but as soon as you become a paid member, they inform you that the app is no longer maintained - even though they advertise it actively on their website.I had some good initial contacts, a handful of members is seriously looking, but the majority of members shown as « active » are not seriously looking.Stay away, its a fake money pit.

this was a good site 15 years back but…
this was a good site 15 years back but when the founders sold it (Elena and her south african husband) i guess it went down,at one time it was the best and i met a few ladies in Russia from the site. I just visited to see recently and was not impressed. in the old days you paid a few hundred bucks and had unlimited everything.

I feel ashamed I got engaged with Elenasmodels. There were so many red flags for fraud! The women were too beautiful, they all looked like models
When something is too good to be true it's usually false. I found a site which conducts business ethically enough – j7dating.com it's one of the few sites that actually give real meetings. They have very few scammers, if any. Elenasmodels women will leave you high and dry. All they want is to dupe you and pull cash from you! They claim to be looking for serious relationship but in fact it's not what they want. They fib about everything: their location, job, family and of course their dating goals. Neither of the women I chatted with on EM was ready to switch to a free communication platform, like Skype or WhatsApp. In all likelihood they are paid by the site. It's utter drivel as a dating site! If you are still using it please stop stop burning your money! I dropped it like a bad habit!

My wife of 15 years met in 2008 on this…
My wife of 15 years met in 2008 on this site, she was 26 and I was 56. We have a 5 year old daughter now. I was skeptical of this site but took the chance to meet in Punta Cana in 2008. It worked out well. If you are classless you will find classless. If you are sincere, honest and generous, you will score big time. You only get out what you put in and there are scammers everywhere,

Scammers, liars, thieves
Most of the women are actresses paid to make this work. Once you share with them your email or your telephone number, they simply disappear. Moreover they are Liars and Thieves : They promise to refund you if a woman show interest toward you but then she doesn't answer to your (paid) letters. Forget about that, they don't give back 1 cent. Be aware and save your money !!

absolute criminals
This site is what it is. You be the judge of all that. However, they are a criminal organization when it comes to their billing practices. It states on their website that to cancel you simply need to go to the settings page and click on the " cancel my account" link. Of course this link does not exist. There is a block of code that they keep commented out of the sites html that they can conveniently bring back when needed for legal reasons. They make it impossible to cancel your account. It is criminal but then again so is the owner. They bank on the assumption that most men will be too embarrassed to complain and just let their card be constantly charged for quarterly billings. There is a red button to "delete your profile" there. But all that does is lock you out of your account, it does not stop the billing. Do not give them your credit card info!

Elena’s models taking money
It appears that Elena’s models is taking money allowing access for a couple days then asking you to upgrade to have access. I paid the upgrade fee of $129. Went and verified with my bank that the transaction went through and it did. In the process of verifying transaction I noticed there was a 10% conversion fee added to the transaction. When contacting the help desk I was informed that the transaction did not process. I called up my bank to verify and they said the transactions were in did processed and money was pulled from my account. I tried calling Elena’s models, there call center does not answer. Just goes to a VM and you do not know if it is a functioning VM as there is no message other than the party can not be reached. I elected to delete my account and accepted the fact I have lost the money. I have cancelled my card and haved ordered a new card so no more transaction. I am fairly certain this is taking place because what is taking place with the war and politics.

Fake, scam
Scamming people for money.Despicable.The person behind it is a propagandist, and spreads fake news against their own country all over new.Horrible person.

Fake as
Fake as. Dont waste your time & money. Most so called women on the site work for the company for a fee & pretend to be interested in dating. Their goal is to pretend they are interested in you & get you thinking you have a chance. Once you are hooked the ladies profile will then magically disappear or stop answereingg you. They aim to get as much cash out of you as possible hoping you will pay for membership.

50 contacts for $129 is scam
They will give you 50 contacts for $129 dollars and 40% of them will not write you back. They will give you credit back but you have to wait for one month. Half of the girls dont speak english there and once you write to them 1 contact credit is gone. Problem is once you are done with 50 contacts at the end of second month and if 10 girls dont write you back, you have to wait for one month which will be end of the 3 months of your membershipi wont recommend this website to anyone and this will be last subscription with them

Real women yes real gold diggers and scammers trying to escape a terrible country and get your money…
I've been on Elenasmodels for one year I've wasted thoysands of hours and can tell you from experience msny women there are just trying to escape a terrible country... I know I've been there! Most of the women I've communicated with would drop u as soon as a fat rich American attorney wanted to marry them for a sex toy... that happened... truly! In my year I have flown women to meet me taken one girl on a holiday twice met others in Ukraine.,. Do not be sucked in by the propoganda... many of these Slavic women see you as a mobile wallet and as soon as something better is on the horizon you will be replaced... they are superficial shallow and when you get past the looks have very little value as human beings... there culture brain washed them into thinking if I look hot I can be a lazy $#*!... I'm not being bitter here I've travelled the world and I've seen many cultures... the women on these sites have kids and live in a few hundred euros s month alone because they either sucked there husband dry it he had enough of it... u will here all the stories about how bad Russian Ukrainian men are but the truth if you dig deeper is the beauty of most of these women is only skin deep... I've been played and had quite a few women try to play me... and Elenasmodels models has had reports and let's it continue ITS JUST BIG BUSINESSBEWARE... check out all the forums and hard luck stories of decent western men who lost everything or killed themselves because of these cold blooded creatures...
