So after communicating with mostly fakes, and sending hundreds of messages back and fourth during a three month period, I can truly say that somewhere around 96% to 98% of the female profiles are 100% fake. 160+ messages, and only two real interactions (confirmed with video calls), which unfortunately where just Ukrainian girls who seemed to be taking advantage of the war situation, saying how bad their lives where and asking that you send money.
I would recommend avoiding this site at all costs, as it is a big waste of time and money.
Well, unless you are really into such?
I've been into said dating site for a week now as Im writing this review and opted to end my 1 month paid membership with them. I say Russian Cupid is a total scam because most profiles of women there are fake. At first, I was bombarded with messages from beautiful women that really sounded true enough. And then they asked for my email address so that, according to them, we can communicate instantly and share photos. Later on, I learned that through my email they sent me a link asking me to sign up for another dating sites which are too costly and will definitely drain off your credit card. Almost all women profiles I encountered there do the same to defraud you. And when you ask them if you can see each other via video calls in order to verify authenticity or ask them to provide new photos of them via email, they simply stop chatting with you. RC is a total scam the same as 'Dream Singles', 'Love Is', 'Truly Russians', among others.
Beside the fact that most of the profiles are practically bots their customer service is the worst seen so far. They won't accept photos because they say it's not clear enough but you can see many other profiles where you can barely see the person or not at all!
So turned out the scammers from Ukraine are using this site to get money and gifts from men and to make less competition they block accounts of real Beautiful women with legit accounts. Keep away from them!
Don't get engaged with it! Use MyUkrLady
If you want to meet a girl or look for some other big site that can offer you both local and foreign women.
RussianCupid women are scammers. When they say, I want to meet now, not interested in endless chat a want a real man. They mean, send me the flight money and never see you again. The, my man should me generous, means give me money. The I will create a cozy home, means I will get the decorates and interia designer and yours paying. I could go one but I doubt there is many who are not looking for a gullible fool for money or a visa. You need to learn how to read the bio and the blinds on your eyes will be lifted. No photos or one photo is a massive giveaway also.
We need to get the word out that Putin killing babies and women, civilians, in the Ukraine, these greedy bastards here won't even allow you to put photos of War. To show the Russian people that they are that there is a war, their relatives are killing people in the Ukraine, don't sponsor these $#*!s
This site has numerous fake profiles. There is not way they could possibly be verified. So it is obvious this website is involved in this scam. They put fake profiles of beautiful Instagram looking models. They then intentionally take the customer off the site with personal made up emails. There they send fake photos with lengthy made up personal sad stories about their plight in Ukraine or Russia. It is same or similar sob story. They are poor and can't afford a phone or need a visa permit. Anything to get you to pay them money. And even though these are all professional models and photos, amazingly none of them have phones for a video chat and none of them have social media accounts. Even though the profile photos look like they were stolen right off an Instagram model account. Total bs. And for the website to constantly say they are not part of it, after many many times, leads to only one conclusion. It is them. They are doing this for sure. If they were an American company, they would be sued for fraud and shut down. But they are overseas in Australia and can't be touched. How convenient. Total fraud. These poor poor girls have no phones, no money, no social media. Give me a break!
Dear Ted,
We’ll let you in on a little secret: Neither Prince Harry nor Megan Markle have active accounts on internationalcupid. So if you see a profile with their picture, you know it’s not genuine.
If you come across anything else that doesn’t look right, it’s easy to report it to our moderation team. Just click the 'Report Abuse' at the bottom of their profile, and then give your reason and comments before submitting. All reports are, of course, confidential.
We’ll deal with your report as quickly as possible. Just bear in mind that we won’t be able to share details of any actions taken, due to confidentiality.
I have pay for my account. Platium membership. I have pay with PaySafeCard. And after a 2 days they close my account and they are not answers at costumers support. They ask me for a credit card photos, but I have pay with PaySafeCard and I like I have says I have write them for many times. Using also the link from here. Nobody answers.
Sign up for free. Get bombarded with so many messages from attractive women, that you can't help but purchase a membership. Spend your valuable time constructing thoughtful emails. Then hear little to nothing in return.
I've been asked for my email address, which I have freely given - and received nothing.
I've been told by several profiles "I'm not on here very often" and yet their profiles are shown online (green dot) daily. I've written lengthy messages introducing myself, only to receive replies that read "Hi Steve".
In summary - just another scam site preying on men who are potentially seeking a genuine connection.

I received so many suspicious messages it was impossible to know if any at all could be trusted. Of the maybe 20 messages I received in my two weeks there only two struck me as possibly genuine. Most immediately asked for my email address and refused to communicate on-site. Several were sure we were soul mates, after one message! The prettiest pictures came with the most suspicious messages. Apparently young Russian women of incredible beauty desperately want to marry someone, any age up to 80+, but you have to give them personal details first. I twice contacted RussianCupid but received no reply. Presumably they have my 3 month subscription already and need not bother with my concerns.
