KYIV POST – Oct 7 – International marriage agencies in Kyiv connect men and women from different countries via webchats and Skype calls. However, on many sites, foreign men are communicating with seductive strangers hiding behind the photographs of a Ukrainian beauty. This Kyiv Post journalist went undercover as a translator for one such agency. Male clients from the US, Australia or Europe pay ~12 cents per 10 minutes of online chat and $1.50 for a personal letter to an international dating website to link up with a gorgeous woman. But all too often the person replying to the heterosexual male seeking love is a translator, sometimes a male one, operating the profile of a real woman. One profile of a young beauty can earn $600-$2,000 per month, and the translator gets 40% of the earnings from each profile they operate.
