BANGOR, Maine, August 18 /PRNewswire/ --

- Internet Transparency and Disclosure at a Premium

With the rapid growth of international online dating, consumers need to
be as completely informed as possible in order to successfully navigate the
mine fields associated with finding a mate overseas. Internet dating sites
offer what many times result in ultimate bliss and happiness. But to many who
are unaware of how the path to overseas Nirvana works, it can become
delusional.

As many international dating websites have proven to be "fly by night"
operations, unscrupulous one and two man shops, even dens of online scam
artists, it's of vital importance consumers first of all understand who they
are dealing with. A site that fails to disclose contact information or has no
direct customer service line should raise a red flag. One simply does not
know who is behind the pretty pictures and promises of love.

Conversely, complete disclosure earns consumer trust and breeds success
as exhibited by a handful of international sites that pride themselves on
having nothing to hide. One such portal is Anastasia International, a
premiere online dating resource for Western men seeking women from Russia &
CIS for friendship and marriage. Anastasia makes details of her corporate
profile and ownership completely accessible, and goes to great lengths to
make her operation 100% transparent. As an American company operating since
1993 with over 250 employees in Moscow and the U.S., Anastasia is a large,
well capitalized firm with global reach, jointly owned and managed by Russian
and American interests. Anastasia encourages direct calls to her toll free
customer service numbers and welcomes visits to her offices in the U.S. and
Russia. All contact and operational information is clearly detailed on her
main page. Sadly, the vast remainder of international dating sites fall
suspiciously short of this primary qualification for a trustworthy venture.

The public should follow their instincts when dealing with online dating
concerns. As confidence is established by disclosure and transparency, online
consumers become members and members find their success. Loyal clients of
Anastasia, for example, once at ease with her openness and user friendliness,
stay with her far exceeding the membership lifespan on any other online
dating site. This speaks volumes to the reputation of sites such as
Anastasia.
