I think we all know the answer. They appear to be his biggest sponsor and Winston probably isn't exactly getting rich here. Losing that revenue might be a really big hurdle for this site. I've asked him about this AFA stuff here on the forum and there isn't much for him to say. In one post he said he had talked to John Adams on the phone and "he seemed legit". I don't know how you can tell that from a phone call, slick people often "seem legit". But here is the interesting thing to me, they seem to be the biggest sponsor on this site, yet other than the ads they have no other presence here. You would think that John Adams or Bud Patterson or someone from there would post here occasionally and come here to answer some of these questions about them. You would think that Winston would have tried to get them to come here and participate in the forum. The silence, as they say, is deafening.

I guess companies like this basically prey on guys who just don't know any better, and there are a lot of guys here who do know better.

I'm hopeful of tracking this girl down to find out if I actually have been in communication with her, but don't open any more emails, including the one that just came. One thing I didn't mention is that these emails -- five of them so far -- all come with 2 photos attached, at a cost to open of $3.99 each. I haven't opened any. I'm wondering though if the agent I'm probably communicating with would have that many photos of all the women in their assigned group. Probably so. It looks like this operation is set up to shake the suckers loose of as much money as possible in a short time before they wise up, and the next one comes along. The agents no doubt have everything they need to create the illusion.

“A foreign affair reviews : join the class action law suit”

It will be interesting to see if this is legit when the video is uploaded. Hopefully karma is in store for the face of one of the most profitable scams on earth and John regrets allowing the FSU mafia syndicates to run his dating site.

Is A Foreign Affair the business that puts the pictures of models up throughout the forum? Usually, the women are pretty.

I have heard of companies that hire Russian models, have men go online and click to send them flowers, while the women write letters. I saw a documentary about a woman who liked an American man who was writing her letters. But she had to explain that she was not the model he saw pictures of. They posted pictures of models then other people wrote responses and pretended to be the models.

Does A Foreign Affair do this? Aren't they one of those companies that takes men on tours of Russia to meet dozens of single women looking for husbands? I saw a bit about that in a documentary also.

If they didn't try to have success stories, wouldn't they go out of business after a while? In the documentary, some of the people found matches, but I don't know if that was through A Foreign Affair.

I'd imagine to match up with a Russian woman over there, someone in the US or UK would have to violate the law, probably, to legally see her in person. But there are probably a lot of Ukrainian female refugees who are widows or else who have not married in Poland or somewhere like that.

A man wanting to marry a pretty Ukrainian woman could go over there and volunteer to help in a refugee camp.

“A foreign affair reviews : join the class action law suit”
That video is being put out by Joe Rickards of Match Guaranty which has already been exposed.

https://www.meeting-russian-women.com/m ... ranty.html
Class-Action Lawsuit
One of those deceptive sales gimmicks Joe uses to promote Match Guaranty is the reference to a class action lawsuit against big pay-per-letter sites. It has been referenced in the footer of some of their marketing emails and Youtube videos (see the footer of those marketing emails).

Surely if you have been scammed by pay-per-letter services (and if you've used them, you've probably been scammed by them), word of a class action lawsuit is music to your ears. You think, "FINALLY, some JUSTICE!"

I would be very surprised if you ever got details about a lawyer or an actual class-action case from Joe. I would guess that it's just the bait to get you into Match Guaranty's sales funnel that will lead to a sale.

There are other alternatives out there I believe to get real contact with real women for a very modest price.

I'm very new into this topic. Do you know of alternatives? Or good sites in general? Not impressed with what I'm seeing out there, such as the various "cupid" dating sites.

Winston I think it’s time to break your association AFA , remove the AFA advertisements and your HB branded AFA tours. Word in the FSU dating circles is there’s about be be a class action lawsuit against the company and John, regarding his network of scam PPL dating sites. I’ve publicly commented that this day will come and considering that his sites run by criminal syndicates in Ukraine have defrauded hundreds of millions of dollars from customers (possibly over a billion judging from rival PPL company Anastasia dates annual profits of 250 million), I can see John doing some time behind bars.

Winston you never needed to be involved with this company when your dating site, run by the DM group is hands down the best FSU dating site online, with the least amount of scammers and the most genuine FSU women out of the handful of genuine sites and has been for many years.

More details :- It’s a 100 million dollar class action and any victims of the scam AFA PPL sites can join at no personal financial cost by clicking this link :-

https://ukrainedating.ca/international- ... om-reviews

“The Plaintiffs believe they have sufficient evidence to bring A Foreign Affair up on the following charges; 157 counts of Fraud, Intent to Commit Fraud, Identity Fraud, Conspiracy to Commit Fraud, Violence Against Women, Sexting, Distribution of Child Pornography, Prostitution, Child Prostitution, Child Sex Trafficking, Statutory Rape, International Ban Fraud, IMBRA Fraud, International Money Laundering, Racketeering, Tax Avoidance.“

Winston, you need to remove AFA immediately from your forum.
This site is probably named in the lawsuit :-

“ EXHIBIT B, under separate cover, consist of 133 sites currently active, either owned by, or otherwise affiliated with A Foreign Affair, which share the same database of women; 98 are pay-per-letter websites, 13 are tour promotion sites and 22 now out-of-service sites.”

Has anyone booked a HA (AFA) tour? Do you know the outcome of their trip? Most men get hopelessly scammed by prodaters on these tours, could you personally be held liable for their losses?

No, Winston can't be held liable personally for their losses. He only offers advertising space to AFA for a fee. You can't sue Winston anyway as he's currently in Taiwan.

If you have such an axe to grind, why don't you sue JA of AFA? He's got the deep pockets.

Winston is not responsible for accepting advertising from a scammy agency. Only if HA were actually involved in running the AFA business.

It seems this AFA lawsuit-website is not very active, likely already abandoned.

Personally I think, do not waste your time and money with such websites - better get on an airplane, after arrival try to talk to some people, tell them you are looking for a long term relationship - ask them if they can introduce somebody they know to you - give them your email etc.

Maybe somebody is showing up - and if not at least you had a nice vacation trip anyway.
