How to tell the difference between a cheating and a law-abiding company:
- The first payment should be made for a bank transfer .
- If you are told that the clinic does not have a currency account, or if the agency tells you that they will bring money to the clinic on their own, it’s more than likely that you will lose your money.
- At first visit, if you were not provided with free accommodation, accompaniment to the signing of the contract, you may be cheated.
Money should be transferred after the contract signature. When you leave Ukraine, in the quiet atmosphere you should review the contracts one more time and weigh the pros and cons whether you can trust such a company.
Most commonly, frauds create bumped-up names, such as: association of gynecologists, association of dentists, association of all reproductive centers, adoption or insemination association.
It costs about 400 hrn. (40 Euro) to open an association in Ukraine. Frauds usually collect such documents in big quantities on purpose to confuse clients; their offices are usually located in basements. Such clinics usually have only 2 or 3 cabinets and their size can be equal to the corridor’s size in a normal clinic. As a rule, such clinics do not have their own laboratory.
1st way of cheating:
Spermogram will be made, when you will submit sperm you will be told that it was done for an EKO. If the clinic gives guarantees, you should ask them to give you a guarantee list on a positive result with chief doctor’s signature and seal.
2nd way of cheating:
You will be brought to an office and you will be told that they urgently need cash to sign the contract with the mom and to pay the clinic for the program. You can offer them to make the first payment on your own and they should show you the license for the reproductive activities.
In any cheating case you will be asked to pay cash from your first visit, you will be told that the clinic has no a currency account, that the clinic temporally changes the bank and for this reason there account is missing, that it is possible to make payments in hrivna only and that previous clients had the same problem with transferring.
It is essential for you to transfer the first payment on the bank account.
