Jay
Mathis, TexasElena Petrova of www.elenasmodels.com and www.womenrussia.com is committing fraud and defamation of other agencies on her site as well as lying to men about the women on her site.
Here is the story:
Elena Petrova of Elenasmodels.com is running two sites. The other site is www.womenrussia.com where she runs down all other legitimate agencies and props her own site up. She has a forum but if you say anything bad about her agency, she will not post it of course.
she runs her office out of a hotel in the Ukraine which is littered with Prostitutes that you will meet if you go there, not the women on her site that are from all over Russia that she has no signed releases from the girls nor do any supporting agencies as they are just photos from local photographers of their models.
Elena Petrova is a scam.
She is closely alligned with www.agencyscams.com whom is run by Alexey Ivanov who calls himself only 'Jim' as Alexey is a convicted hacker from St. Petersburg. The FBI arrested him up for blackmailing many large corporations.
She is also closely alligned with Spencer Forrest of www.rwguide.com who is currently being sued by www.firstdream.com in texas for libeling that company as well just like Elena Petrova does from her little island in Australia.

This Report Is Posted By A Competitor
Hello, my name is Elena Petrova. I recently was informed about the report on this site, which mentions my name and the name of my agency.
I oppose this report and I am surprised it was allowed to be posted, in the first turn. It appears like no one read it before allowing it to be broadcast to the whole Internet.
There are no facts and no supporting evidence in this report, only ungrounded accusations. It is pure libel and defamation.
Elena's Models www.elenasmodels.com is a legitimate business and NOT a scam.
We are a LICENSED introduction agency (Registered Introduction Agent License #3008169 of Queensland, Australia) and we have a good record with the Office of Fair Trading (www.fairtrading.qld.gov.au), which looks after the licensed businesses in our state. You are welcome to check our records with them.
We have dozens of testimonials from former clients, with photos of the couples that met through our agency, on our website www.elenasmodels.com. We know these couples and can bring you in contact with them, if you would like to.
This report does not list any facts, only ungrounded accusations.
I immediately recognized the wording of this report as there were dozens of copies of the same message posted all over the Internet in 2004, by an owner of a competing agency. (I do not include his name or the name of his agency here, but I can provide it on request.)
The reason for his postings was that there was a negative message about his agency on my website, posted by a user of his service. The person who posted the report detailed his account with his agency, which was negative.
Since the same message was posted on multiple message boards, I learned about them quickly and the owners of the dating-related message boards were the ones who contacted me with the name of the competitor responsible for the postings, this is how I know who he is.
I removed the comment about his agency from my website (although there was enough evidence to back it up and the poster was happy to stand by his post), and the online libel campaign against myself immediately stopped.
I would like to see the poster of this report to stand by his post and provide FACTS instead of ungrounded accusations.
I am also busy hiring an American attorney to proceed with a defamation case against this person and the publishers supporting him.
I request this report to be removed from this website.
Regards,
Elena Petrova

Why This Report Is False and Misleading
This report is a blend of ungrounded accusations and criminal fiction: prostitutes, convicted hackers, blackmailing, FBI, arrests, and so on.
In fact, there are two carbon copy reports on this site posted by this person, and signed by different names.
I would understand if the report said, “I purchased that service, and didn't get what I was promised, and I asked my money back and didn't get it." But this report is not like this. It simply throws a pile of dirt in the hopes that something will stick.
It is full of contradictions and false statements: hides in Australia – runs her office from a prostitute-ridden hotel in Kiev, a convicted hacker arrested by FBI somehow manages to run a website, etc.
- Jim, the owner if agencyscams.com, is not a convicted hacker Alexey Ivanov. He is a real person, unlike the author of this report. He is a Canadian living in Russia.
- Elena's Models office in Ukraine is situated in one of the most expensive hotels in Kiev in the historical center of the city: Hotel Impressa http://www.impressa.com.ua. It has good security and no prostitutes.
- First Dream is a regular advertiser of www.rwguide.com. So, either its owner changed his mind about Spencer Forrest, or the lawsuit mentioned in the report never went ahead.
- Elena's Models is a legitimate LICENSED business and not a scam. We are in business since 1999, and have 60,000+ clients in 167 countries, and full-time offices in 5 countries.
- Elena's Models comply with all relevant regulations and we are the only large Russian dating site that offers 3-day cooling-off period to its customers, during which the client can ask for a refund no matter what. We have 90-day refund policy and we always refund customers if they are unhappy with the service. Many of them come back and re-sign up with us, and buy even a more expensive package.
- Men and women register themselves on our site, and can change any of their information at any time. They all sign an Agreement when register. We check all submitted profiles before publication. Many women register through our offices in Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria and Romania, and we know them personally.
Yes, we may have some individuals who try to misuse our service, just like any dating site has. But we do not tolerate them on our site. We hunt them down and remove them immediately.
Yes, Elena Petrova is the owner of both www.womenrussia.com and www.elenasmodels.com. She doesn't hide it. To the contrary, she clearly says so on her sites, http://www.womenrussia.com/who.htm and http://www.elenasmodels.com/about .
Elena is the author of several books, including the famous 'Anti-Scam Guide', and she was recognized as the world-leading authority on dating scams by The New Criminologist. Interviews with Elena appeared in numerous publications and TV programs around the globe: USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Finland, Spain, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, South Africa, New Zealand, and the list goes on.
Elena Petrova is not a scammer, she doesn't commit fraud, and she doesn't defame other people and agencies, unlike the author of this report.
Elena's Models has one of the best reputations in the Russian dating industry, and is recommended by many consumer protection sites.
Please visit our site www.elenasmodels.com and see for yourself.
Comment as to report
Hello,
I have just stumbled across this site and this report.
As a competitor of this Elena's Model I am familiar with this marriage agency. Their are not a lot of really good agencies in this industry but this is one of them. Elena's deals with a lot of smaller agencies throughout the
former Soviet Union and as such their will always be some women who do not have the best intentions. It's going to happen with all agencies. To my knowledge every bad woman ever identified has been removed from her agency, many even being shown on her own scammers link.
Wrong info on Elena Petrova
Hypochrite, Thats what I think. Someone obviously didn't get something there way and they lash out like this. More time should have been taken in research before posting such incorrect and angry thoughts.
I personally used Elena's site to find a wife with great satisfaction. Every question or dilemna I had was addressed by her or her staff. To this day, if I have a friend pursuing this avenue, She will still help. I was never over charged or asked for any extra fees. I never saw one thing that would indicate fraud. What I was promised, I received.
Yes she has several offices around Russia. Before one makes such derrogatory statements about what one sees at a location, they should spend some time within its borders. Russians are a very different type of people. I should know, as I have been married to one for 3 years. Control of whom is there can be a difficult thing there. And yes a prostitute may hang there in order to pick up business. Think about it, where better than where the men go.
Of course she will pump up her own business just like in America. As for slamming other businesses, again just like in America with all of its slanderous tv commercials.
Point is,Elena made this foriegn bride thing what it is. It is her bread and butter and reputation. Why would she try to ruin her own business. In fact, there was a story a while back in the consulate news about her help in busting a large 'ripoff ring out of Moscow. Why get in the light if the finger can be point back at her?
I think she is very upstanding.

Mike's Elena Petrova, that he is so rude about, according to him lives in both Australia and the Ukraine. I have been helped by Elena Soloman (Petrova) and she lived in South Africa with her South African husband and kids then. Before taking Mikes story at face value or even printing it perhaps you should have contacted Elena.
shalom, Capeman
