Is dreamconnections.com Legit?

I would give Dream Connections a zero stars if I could. The owner is real snake oil salesman. He pulls at your emotion and preys on men when they are at their weakest point. It's true, once they have your money, they don't care and the men that actually do get married, which are few compared to the amount they have going on trips, is really just luck. I personal witness Mark blowing men off on my trip and read between his lies. Followed the company for years and noticed the many lies and once they get caught, they delete videos. Stop over paying for this service guys, their business model is old and truly a bunch low life scammers!

Started process with this company. After placing a deposit and wataching many of their ideas, I quickly understood the owner Mark Davis is slippery snake. Don't trust anything he promises and he lies constantly.Now I can't have my money back because deposit are non-refundable either!

scam can not be trusted 5k to meet a couple of girls when you can do it yourself

Dream Connections. Can they be trusted???I was a client having gone to Ukraine for the first time in 2017. We guys were contacted over skype (for free) so we could find out more about the company and how it can help single genuine guys to find their lady in Ukraine. Irina the DC Manager was quite nice and helpful. But what about Senior Manager Mark and his lady wings wife Anna???? well thats another story. DC costs 5000 USD. Yes expensive for those on a low budget and middle class people but the promises were too good to be true. Also, with the abundance of DC videos on youtube assuring guys not to miss out on the dating tour event, I decided to go and hopefully come with some positive results. Well it wasnt so! During registration, we were made to check the ladies on the DC website and then asked to submit a list of 10 ladies, along with our profile and photos. The guys profile would be shown to the girls before the guys even arrived in Ukraine for the meet and greet events. After arrival in Kiev Intl Airport, we were put up at Londonskaya hotel which had a nice layout but was expensive for 50USD a night(booking.com site advertises between 20-30usd) (DC must have a partnership service with this Hotel). It shouldnt have been considering the cost of living in Ukraine. We had a night out going to a steak restaurant. This wasnt covered in the 5000USD payment. Every guy had to pay out. Next day, we set out on a long trip from Odessa Londonskaya to Nikolaev by bus. We arrived just in time and checked in hurriedly due to lack of planning by Mark/Anna into Reikartz hotel (overpriced 100+usd /day was charged when booking.com is between 10-20usd) in Nikolaev to get ready for the meet and greet events with the translators, who were assigned to each of the guys. Meet & Greet was a nice event. We guys got to know our translator and spent time with her getting to know her as she was our matchmaker coach who would help us decide on how to setup the dates with the ladies. The day arrived when we had about 75 to 80+ ladies for the 1st meet and greet event. From the 10 or 11 list of ladies names I gave from the website, only 2 or 3 showed up. I wasnt to know about who was coming until the actual event itself. (So then why bother sending the list in the first place. It didnt make any sense. Must have been just as a marketing tool how DC played) For the 1st meet and greet event the guys would move around tables with their translator introducing them and then the ladies would introduce themselves. Then the guys would move away from the table and the translator would stay on with a piece of paper asking the girls if any of them would be interested in going out with the guy. This way the dates were planned for the upcoming days. Then came 2nd meet and greet event which was also planned same way in terms of introduction from both guys and girls at each table. At one point came the rapid lightning round were due to shortage of time the guys and ladies had only 5 mins to get to know each other. (How does one expect to know a little about another person when you have 3 or 4 ladies at each table having a translator doing all the translating and you are trying to understand each of the ladies within 5 mins is beyond any comprehension. Seems it was all a DC plan to roll out the dice and see if one could score a match of having 6 6 6 dots on it) It wasnt so in my experience. After 2 days of meet and greet events, the translator would get up the dates, often advising how some dates should be chosen and after the date she would give feedback to find out if there was some spark or not. As a bloke in early thirties I found only about 4 or 5 ladies who were close to my age and the rest were all over 36. Most of the ladies were between 38-70+. Its beyond any sense for a guy in early 30s to date a older lady in her 40s and beyond. (Why wasnt DC honest at the very beginning. Shame on you Mark and Anna). The few dates that I had were eventful but none memorable. There was also a finale event where each guy invited their translator as their date (if they didnt find their lady/their lady couldnt come due to work OR if still dating their lady unsure if she was the one) . This finale event was Mark and Annas wedding anniversary. Contd

“Exactly as advertised”

I signed up with DreamConnections back in March of 2015. I had viewed their videos on YouTube for many months prior to joining. I sent in payment information, and two months later I was on a plane to Ukraine. The entire experience was similar to that in their promotional video. We were greeted warmly, given a tour of Odessa, and then taken in a bus to Nikolaev. It is a magical place for a western tourist, to put it mildly. The dating events were classy, and the week flew by like mad. Mark and Anna are caring, devoted hosts, and my translator was awesome. It is not for everyone, and those who have never been to another country (with a totally different language and character set) might get overwhelmed. Even though I ended up marrying a Russian woman, I rank this experience as one of the best of my life. I'm glad I did it, and I miss southern Ukraine a ton. (Albeit my wife doesn't like hearing me say that). PS: The food in ukraine is awesome.

“Ream Connections”

Mark is only in it for the money first he sets his men up with coaches you only need one of those if you're playing a game! Second he pushes marriage so bad because it makes his business look good and I hear he even has a coach that will help you through your marriage to make his business look more successful. Mark also offers his clients training in how to pick up a Foreign Bride are his clients dogs! What happened to his wife Ann? He has a new video on YouTube of him taking gifts that he makes his customers pay for to Orphanges in Ukraine he won't even match their offer like most caring charities will. The reason Mark wants to deliver them so he can look like the hero over there he probably even tells them he paid for everything! I went to Ukraine 7 years ago and did everything on my own from day one met 4 women two through a site called Romance Compass and from people I got to be friends with I now have an apartment and girlfriend in Nikolaev.

“WOW just WOW”

This was my second time with Dream Connections and I am NOT disappointed. I had my same translator and she plans everything for you. The date's of course I select but my translator did everything like Mark said they would. The support from the staff can not compare to any company that is doing a romance tour. I have found my second half and she is almost like me but funnier. I feel very comfortable with my lady and she is with me. I know where this will end up. ;)

“March 2018 Nikolaev tour GregB.”

I had the great opportunity to go on the March 2018 tour. The way the system is put together shows success. I have a great time with the group and the restaurants are beyond fantastic. The ladies were genuine and down to earth. Many age groups for all ages of men. I am making a return trip to further my connection. Thank you Mark Davis and Thank you Irina for the successful experience. The staff is quality.

“International Dating Done right!”

I went on the May 2016 tour and every step of the process, from the Skype interviews with the management to the handling of the translators, was done top notch and very professional. I met a lot of beautiful and intelligent Ukrainian women, during the week and am now engaged to a wonderful and caring woman. Dream Connections helps me even after the week was over, by providing easy and affordable gifts that I sent to my lady as well as effective English lessons for my lady. If anyone ever has a bad experience with Dream Connections, it is most likely due to that individuals poor attitude. Dream Connections goes out of their way to make it a pleasant and effective event. Tip for consumers:Keep your heart and your mind open to the experience. It will be a memorable time. Service Value Quality

“Dream Connections Tour”

This Companies Attitude is one of success. They structure everything very well, are kind, professional and very helpful. If you're clueless then don't worry they will answer any questions and will put you at ease very quickly. Need anything, ask. They vet everyone who goes on the tour both men and women. I have known many marriages to result from them. Any other review that say they are scamming you are lying and work for a rival company. They aim for you to succeed on the first try, not for you to come back and pay money for many unnecessary tours. It also setups a brotherhood of men to encourage one another. I don't know of any other companies that do that. Like I said they aim to pair up marriage minded men and women committed to one another.

“Take the chance!”

I just want to put out there this was no BS, it is the real deal. They do deliver on the promise just show up. I was on the November 2019 tour and can and have recommend this company without hesitation. They take care of everything, with the whole team being active in your success (include your participation of course). You romance coach is the real deal as well, they take of everything for you and help guide you around the bumps that come up on every road at times. She is there for everything and knows her stuff! Not just mine but all of them. If you thinking about it you really have nothing to lose give it a try, 5K is nothing compared to the happiness it can bring you. But it will be a difficult journey and likely out of your comfort zone somewhat but really what good things in life don't have some of that!

“Best decision I ever made!”

This is a class organization. There is no scam or ripp off like other companies of this type. You are catered to from the time you arrive until you depart. You have a native personal assistant and translator with you at all times. And my favorite... I have many new great friends over seas I love to go visit.

“Don't you mean nightmare connections?”

I went on a tour in 2015 and met a beautiful woman. Initially everything was good but it didn't take long for the woman to start asking for financial help. I brought it to the owners and their coaching was a joke. They wanted me to give her a chance but finally even they had to agree she was only interested in money. But here's the corker, she was seen at future tours. The owners on care about the money they get from the men, nothing else.

“Worth Every Penny”

Went on a tour during 2015. The girl I meet from the event didn't work out. Actually meet my wife through a fellow client that I became close friends with. My story wouldn't have been possible if Mark didn't go above and beyond to build a community of support for his clients. The journey of successfully finding someone internationally has its own unique challenges. Mark is constantly working on ways to help his clients succeed. From coaching before the trip to well thought out events to being avalible to help after the trip. There is so much more that goes into a successful international relationship than just the week long event. It is clear that Mark's focus and priority is doing all he can to help.

“Disorganized and not personalized”

I ended up not going on the tour I signed up for because the person who signed me up scheduled me for the wrong tour and then refused to return my deposit. He was actually mad I went on my own and met a Ukrainian woman that way. They just want to take your money and don't take responsibility for their own mistakes/disorganization. Find an overseas reputable personalized agency instead.

“They take your money and give you nothing”

I really want to warn everybody off DreamConnections! It's extremely overpriced. Don't believe a word they say! No date is guaranteed. Most of the women are paid for coming to greet events, they don't intend to have any dates. So I came to Ukraine with DreamConnections, I paid them $5000 and I didn't have a single date organized by them! But I easily met a woman from a different site though. Don't fall for DreamConnections trap! They overpromise and oversell. They take your money (absurd amount of money) and give you nothing.

“I love Dream Connections”

Mark is a really honest guy and very helpful. He's an expert when it comes to international relationships and that's why everyone loves the results they get. Highly recommend!

“VQT has been the most Genuine interaction i have had during COVID-19”

I had been booked and paid for in full to attend July 2020 tour, however with the COVID restrictions and travel bans i was unable to leave my country. When Dream Connections launched the VQT (Virtual Quest Tour) I was one of the first to jump at the opportunity. My Romance coach (Anna) was amazing and we are still close friends that talk quite often. She helped me find my lady, who i could not be any happier with. Dream Connections were happy to refund me the difference between the full tour and the Virtual Quest tour, i opted to use it for credit on other Dream Connections services instead. I have spoken with Mark at length for numerous times and is a patient and genuine person, while i can see where peoples perspective of him been a salesman can come from, I can honestly say that i did not have that feeling, my advice is to park your cynicism for just moment you will see beyond the superficial parts and see that they are in the business of bring people together. Tip for consumers:Before you think of doing any of the quest tours, take a serious hard look at your self and your past relationships. Find the areas you went wrong with or had short comings and deal with them. I sure as hell did and before i committed i worked on my self before committing. Service Value Returns Quality

“March 2018 Tour”

I was on the March 2018 Tour to Mykolaiv Ukrainian I had a vary good time on the Tour. It was just like Mark said it would be. They help with everything on the Tour you had A romance coach/ translated with you from 9:00 am to 9:00pm to help you.

“I would happily go again.”

I attended the May2019 event in Mykolaiv. 1)The price is a bargain. Where else can you meet 100 beautiful women who seek long term relationships without spending larger amounts of money and time? I believe I saved four years of dating. 2) These are NOT models or sex workers, rather they are good, beautiful, hard working women. 3) Expectations are key. You will not succeed without putting in some preparation. DC helps you with this. 4) Ukraine is different. The roads are horrible. The hotel is two star. You still have to keep your hand on your wallet. Relax and enjoy. 5) You WILL get lots of phone numbers and will not have time to date them all. 6) The system works! The people I met who did not find a long term relationship either had hidden agendas or expectations that were WAY to high. I am one of the oldest men to have ever come on the tour (71) and I got lots and lots of phone numbers and found a wonderful woman. My only caution is, if you find ANY conflict with your translator, (I did), ask for a replacement (I did). A great relationship with your translator is key. I would happily go again.

“2 years later”

I wanted to update all the men out there who are thinking of still going on a DC tour after reading all of the bad reviews.(including my original one) Please i beg of you do not waste your money/time. My original tour was in 2019 and since then all of the men who went on my tour roughy 35 and not one of us successful in a relationship with anyone from DC. I am being told that the owners who formed DC because of the success they had in finding each other are now seperated. So all the advice you get from the Owner Mark who thinks he knows how to get and keep a Ukranian woman you can throw out the window. Their website used to show successful couples to show that their process worked, If you look at their website and the successful couples they post are from years ago.(all these couples were there in 2019 when i went on my tour) they host several tours a year in different countries and the success rate of their "Process" is extremely low. Its a lot of money and a lot of B. S. that your being fed to make you believe that you will end up happily in a relationship. I said this in my last review and i will say it again spend the thousands of dollars on someone local and i bet you will find far better results. Service Value

“Expensive way to meet Ukraine Women”

Went on a DC tour this year (2017) Arrived and was met at the Airport, driver was on his phone constantly and this was a safety concern for me. I payed a lot of money and traveled a long way. TO be involved in a traffic accident would have ruined my vacation. Safety should be paramount. Accommodation was 21/2 Star at best! Bus transfer from Odessa was terrible, exhaust fumes were coming into the rear of the bus where I was sitting. No air conditioning and felt sick from heat and fumes. When I complained it was stated that this was the only bus available? No shortage of women who wanted to go on a "date" naturally as they get flowers chocolates dinner and entertainment. I did have some great dates but that was because it was all in fun no serious contenders. I meet 2 women who were what I was looking for, One was just after as much as she could get and picked EXPENSIVE places every time. Lunch was $60 USD! Dinner was always double that. I suggested bowling and other activities but NOT interested. She always had Steak and Seafood. Also I felt she KNEW some of the staff at the restaurants we were going to. That went south very quickly! There was no free time to explore the city and it seems that DC does not want you to freelance or explore on your own, I have traveled extensively and do not require BABYSITTING. So it is way more expensive than portrayed in the videos. Overall disappointed in this tour. 80% seems to be an exaggeration most men on my tour went away without any success. Others were just plain ripped off by some of the women. Good Points. Translator was Excellent Met a great bunch of men Will be going to Ukraine again as it is a good place to visit. Tip for consumers:Go with a friend and get a local interpreter ! * DreamConnections attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond Service Value Quality

“Best decision I have ever made!”

Everything Mark does is backed by up by the events, awesome job Mark in bringing together good people who are ready for a connection!

“I am an unhappy Client of this company and would never use them again”

I took a tour with Dream Connections in 2015. The videos promised that they over delivered and under sold. The opposite is true. You pay a minimum of $5000 to meet a bunch of women, 90% of which were not on the website (total bait and switch). We were told that all the women were vetted. This is simply not true. I dated a few women, one for some time and none of them were vetted. In fact one of the ones I dated just showed up the day I arrived because a friend suggested it. She had never heard of the agency before. If they had vetted this woman they could have saved me a lot of heart ache and money. It took a few months to find out the truth but the entire time I was dating her she was communicating with other men on different websites and excepting gifts, expensive gifts. The owners, * talk a good game but only care about the money. How do I know this? Once the tour is over they have no interest in knowing what's happening unless you book another tour. I even told them that the relationship ended and they not only didn't inquire as to what happened, but they didn't even acknowledge it. To add insult to injury I have friends that still follow them and have seen this woman come back many times to their socials. From talking to members of previous and past tours, this isn't the first or last time this has happened. If you are going to take a tour with any agency that introduces you to foreign women, I would not use Dream Connections unless you want to over pay and get very little for the money. The hotel in Nikolaev was $12 a night and we paid $5000 plus airfare. It's a total rip off. They claim to have a 'proprietary method" and that's why they charge so much. What they actually do is stick you in a room with 30-50 women, most are average to below average looking, and it's one mini blind date after another. *Personal information redacted by admin

“Everything Was Perfect And Perfectly-Arranged!”

After doing doing my homework and looking at so many agency I decided to go with Dream Connection, after speaking with Mark and Anna I was sold, that feeling you get when you know you made the right decision. I found the service and response to be excellent, any question or concern I might have had was answered right away, while on the tour I felt like I was part of this family like know other, the service I received was excellent, everything was all done for me all I had to do was to show up and be myself and meet beautiful ladies that has the same desires that I had, someone who was looking for that special someone, which for me personal it didn't take long, now I'm setting here in my home with my beautiful wife and daughter who means the world to me and thanks to Mark and Anna I was able to find my better half who I can spend the rest of my life with, Mark I know I have thank you and Anna so many time for the service that you'll provided but, I would like to let everyone know who's reading this to never feel like know one has your back or your best interest at heart, because Mark and Anna had mind, the one and only The Dream Connection..

“Dream Connections Thailand pay their women to attend the Meet and greet”

And if the headline is not bad enough half the women on the site work as "Bar Girls" in Soi cowboy. That is not surprising when one realises that the main recruiter for thids company was an ex dancer at Shark bar one of the most notorious gogo bars in Soi cowboy. How come i know so much? Because I was approached and offered money to attend a Social event at the restaurant in the Rembrandt hotel. I did not go but my niece who is a stripper went along in my place. She was paid THB 1500 just for walking in the door. My niece earns THB 9.000 a month so this was about 6 days wages. Her english is perfect but as an experiment i told her not to let on and that she only spoke Thai. Some of the things she was told were horrible. "These men will not marry you, they are here on a sex tour from what i can make out" When a black man asked her to have dinner with him that night She replied in Thai "I do not date black men" The man was told "She would love to but is busy tonight" He then politely asked for the next night (and apparently he was polite) The translator said to her in Thai "Just agree to it then don't show up. It will be ok as we have another group of women coming tomorrow" she again said Mai. Quite loudly. (Mai means no in thai) As the afternoon was 2/3rds over she was shepherded over to the sign in table given her money and so she went to work. We later found out that the guy did not get a single date through dream connections because of his "attitude" Why does not the owner come clean with the men. Honestly, if we were truly attracted to old white men who can't get a date in America or beat up their ex wives then this grubby company would go bankrupt anyway as we would be finding these guys ourselves. When you next go on a dream connections tour realise that most of the pretty women that are there have been paid to be there and the ordinary ones are looking for financial support. I will be very interested to see how the owner (an odious little fat man called Mark) responds to this. If he has the guts. Tip for consumers:Do not use it. Find a more established or reputable company where the owner lives in Thailand and has a reputation to protect. Certainly use a company with more than 100 girls registered. Products used:My niece got paid exactly what i was offered to turn up to pretend to be interested in marrying a man. The translators work for the company and tell the men what they want to hear. None of the products offered work for thai womken. It is a massive scam Service Value Quality

“Best out there”

The review written by someone named Russel B. Made me extremely mad. Every word the person wrote is an absolute lie. I was part of Dream Connections for almost 3 years when I met my husband on one of the tours. I have worked with Anna and Mark for 10 tours and talked with all the customers, trying to make sure everybody is happy and comfortable. The customer's requests or issues were NEVER ignored and having over a dozen customers at a time, Anna and Mark always found time and did their best to resolve, talk, fix, arrange etc. It was funny to read about "date fee" in that review. Every translator and every girl always knew that there are no money ever involved in the dates. All the customers were warned from the beginning that its not a good idea to buy any expensive things to any girl unless the man is 100% sure that the relationship with the girl is serious. The translator-assistant is the one who ends up being responsible for customer's expenses like these and she has to make sure he does not make any unnecessary spendings. I know very well how other agencies work and it's not even close to the service Mark is offering. Just go ahead and read REAL feedback from the real people who were on the tours like Anastasia or others offer. Also talking about real and fake, you can find me on Facebook and see that me, my story and my family are real. Russel B can also tell us his last name so that we can check his words, e.g. ask the guys who were with him on the same tour if anything of what he is saying is true or maybe we can find him on the pictures from that tour. Actually I even doubt anyone can remember such person ever attending any of the DC's tours. He is total fake and God will find the way to punish him for his lies. Regarding the married couples - I am not working with DC for 3 years already but I will write you a list of at least 25 couples whom I personally know who are happily married thanks to the awesome job Anna and Mark are doing (as far as I know there are actually close to a 100 couples by now). My life couldn't be better now thanks to Davis family and that was the best decision to spend that $5000 that my husband ever made in his life besides the actual decision to marry me (LOL, these are his words). My dear and beloved Mark and Anna! I wish you guys all the best, nobody can compare to you! Your Julia Rodriguez. PS. As a former translator I can swear I never got the paycheck of $300.00. This is a good money for Ukraine, but still my salary was ALWAYS much more than that. So another lie from Russel B. Who doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. ;)
