A recent business trip took me to Odessa for 2 weeks I had heard about sites like this so 1 afternoon, out of simple curiosity I logged on to Victoria Hearts. Set up my profile with my home details ( Australia), and gave some genuine details about myself. Within 1 minute I was inundated with messages from beautiful women of all ages. For the record I'm no spring chicken (59) and no oil painting in the looks department ( ie I'm on the butt side of ugly). The ladies didn't care. I was " handsome, attractive and any other adjective you can think of. In no time I had spent my 20 " free" credits so I figured what the hell, i can spend $50 on a good meal so a couple of hours entertainment is worth that so i invested in some credits. I responded to several ladies in the 30-50 age group all of whom claimed to speak English. We had some lovely conversations. All were totally enamoured with me and just couldn't wait to move to Australia to start our wonderful lives together. So slowly i worked the conversation around to the possibility of my coming to visit them and what a wonderful time we would have. I told them how I wished i was in Odessa so we could have dinner. The responses were always positive " i wish you were here too ". To which I would reply " as it turns out I actually am here so let's get together". The response was to say I was joking. When I replied that I wasn't and for them to call the Kadorr hotel and ask if a guest with my name was staying there ( the hotel doesn't give out room numbers. A caller has to know your room number). Then came the excuse, couldn't find someone to watch poor old granny, or no baby sitter etc etc I spoke with 22 women and not 1 would agree to meet me.
At that point I had run out of credits and it was all getting a bit boring. I went to the bar thought about all the women and their undying love for me. Actually I got mildly wasted on the local Vodka and went to bed.

Several of these sites are run by the same people. Victoria Hearts, Charmley to name 2
Stay clear of them. They will hook you and suck your wallet dry. The women ( if they are actually women) get a percentage of each credit you spend on them. They are very very good at charming the dollars out of your pocket. You don't feel a thing.
