PR WEB - Apr 20 - According to Elena Petrova, owner of Elena's Models, women and men in Ukraine are being employed by local operators to pose as "brides" in online chats, send messages and letters from accounts of beautiful model-looking girls. She published a report about hidden practices of pay per letter (PPL). Usually, letters, chats, phone calls, and sharing of photos evoke charges starting from $3 and onward. While PPL dating sites insist that payments are required for translations, the report reveals that in many cases the communication is produced by substitutes without any input from the females male customers believe to be dating. Marriage agency employees whose job is to sit through the nights chatting with men claim earnings up to $1000/month, with some authors claiming to be doing this job for years with stable monthly income of $300-$500.

This is nothing new. Been going on for years. From Thailand to Russia and everywhere in between.

People need emotional support. There's value in that. Thats why this kind of service continue to prosper.
But this category of service will not survive long term without a more sustainable and high-integrity model. Reputation is more and more fluid, and conversion factors decline over time for dating services that don't do the right thing.
