ChnLove.com ChnLove Review: Beautiful Pictures, but a Total Ripoff - Don't Waste Your Money!

I gotta say, I was pretty disappointed with my experience on ChnLove. Sure, the pictures of the women were beautiful, but that's about all this site has going for it. I don't care about those fancy 5-star reviews from rich guys - I'm gonna tell it like it is! I've only been on the site for four days and I've already spent over $300 on credit packs. What a ripoff! (I'll get into the details on the cost later.)

I did find one woman on the site that I was really interested in. We both felt the same way about each other and started making plans to meet up and get married. I know, I know, we hadn't even met yet and I had my doubts because of all the bad reviews I'd read. I started to wonder if she was just working for the site and trying to get me to spend more money on credits by messaging me all the time. Or maybe she was legit. (For the record, I started with a 32 pack for $179 and now I only have 29 left.)

Now, I've been living and spending my money freely in San Francisco since my wife passed away 13 years ago. And now I've got a woman interested in me? She even sent me a couple of extra photos to prove she was real. But then I ran out of credits and told her I wouldn't be able to message her anymore. I only had one credit left, so I told her to use it to read my message and that I'd have to wait to buy more credits to read her response. But the next morning, I got another message from her! What the heck? I thought I had made it clear that I was out of credits. It seems like the site is just trying to get me to spend more money.

And don't even get me started on those "bonus" points. They can only be used on the first message with a new woman. What a scam! They just want you to spend more money on credits so you can message more women. I've been on nine other sites like this and they all just want to drain you dry. And here I thought it was the women doing the draining! (If you catch my drift, LOL!)

I hope that woman in China remembers my last message because I'm not trying to spend any more money on credits. I know that whoever is reading our supposedly private messages is probably editing them or not even sending them at all. And if they don't like something in your message, they'll cut it to shreds. It's like they're playing with our emotions. And if we do end up getting together and getting married, they'll charge us even more money! What a joke!

Unless you're a millionaire or a thousandaire, don't even bother with this site. The pictures might lure you in, but that's about it. And even if the woman looks like her picture and is who she says she is, it'll cost you a fortune to make it work. I'm trying to find another way to communicate with the woman I was messaging, not because I'm interested in her, but because I want to save my wallet. I've already spent $322 on a 32 pack, an 8 pack, and a 16 pack. I had to stop before they drained me completely.

I hope this review helps other guys out there who are thinking about using ChnLove. It might be a long read, but I wanted to give you all a heads up on what you'll be dealing with. And for those guys who have already been screwed over by this site, read their reviews. They're pretty accurate and true.

ChnLove.com My Experience with ChnLove: A Realistic Review of a Western Man's Journey to Find Love in China

I want to share my experience with ChnLove, a dating site that connects western men with Chinese women. I know there are some people who think this site is a scam, but I want to tell you that it's not. Of course, there are disappointments, but that's the case with any dating site. You have to be realistic and understand that the chances of success are always 50:50.

One thing to keep in mind is that the women on this site pay an entrance fee. Most of them have to make a compromise because they have little chance of finding a man on the Chinese marriage market. So, if you're a man looking for a Chinese woman, this site is a great place to start.

However, there is a language barrier. All letters are translated from English to Chinese, and very few women can speak English. But don't worry, a woman's first letter is always free, at least that was the case in my situation. Just don't be blinded by photos. I made that mistake with two women. It's important to note the age difference. If a single 25-year-old woman writes to a man over 50, it's probably an attempt at fraud. No young woman of this age is really looking for a man over 50, and she is still under her family's wing. Parents pay attention to who they drag in, so stay away and ignore it. Letters from such women only generate sales.

Women over 30 with children also have a lower chance of entering into a relationship. These women can hardly be placed anymore, and their parents know that too. Parents are more willing to give their consent to marry a western man. This can sometimes be a reason why pre-arranged meetings do not take place. The woman is under immense family pressure, and the family counts once more than an unknown and waiting man at the airport. And a meeting with only two or three corresponding letters is unrealistic.

Don't apply pressure to meet. The lady of your heart, as she really means it, will urge you to meet you. It was the same with my wife. She asked after a few letters whether it was possible that I could visit her in China. You yourself do not benefit if you suggest an appointment and flimsy excuses come up. I had seen it with two women before. One had to go to another city for work and didn't know how long it would take, and the other said she would have to meet another candidate with whom she was also in contact. That was at least honestly true, but I saw myself as a second choice. I broke off contact with both of them, although they were still writing to me. I saved the cost of reading. Then my current wife appeared.

One thing that helped me was getting the names of hotels in my wife's area. I asked her to choose and name several hotels, and she did. Via a hotel platform, I was able to find all the hotels she named. This is a good way to make sure the person you're meeting is real and not a scammer.

My wife also wanted her translator to be there, which I found to be an additional positive sign. I agreed, of course. I wrote down the address of the branch and took it with me when I met her for the first time. As a precaution, there should be a meeting. In my last letter before the meeting, I gave the name of the hotel and my cell phone number. Of course, it was also a risk for me. But to my surprise, the translator announced on the same day of our arranged meeting that they would pick me up at a certain time to go out to eat. And in fact, they had arrived by taxi at the appointed time.

One more thing about behavior. Even if the lady visits you alone in the hotel, keep your hands to yourself. Act like a gentleman. The ladies appreciate it. I met my wife on Wednesdays. On Thursday, she bought a tablet with translation software. On Thursday evenings, she was alone with me in the hotel room. I made no signs of wanting to get closer to her. And on Fridays, when visiting the Water Museum in Shenzhen, it was she who took my hand in the taxi and couldn't let go of my hand. With that, I knew I had won her heart.

Overall, I would recommend ChnLove to anyone looking for a Chinese partner. Just be realistic, take your time, and be cautious. Good luck!

ChnLove.com ChnLove Review: A Former Dating Site Turned Translation Agency Network with Mixed Results

This site, ChnLove, was originally a dating site, but it has since turned into a translation agency network on the Chinese end. The agencies earn money from EMF letters, and some agencies are honest, while others are not. Women initially had to pay a relatively high fee, plus a success fee if they found a western groom through the agency's service. The business model eventually expanded to paid videos, phone calls, email addresses, and more to rake in the dollars from the male end. The agencies' income was proportional to the number of women who joined, so some recruited friends and neighbors, took their pics, and loaded them up.

My wife joined for free in this manner with some friends, and her classmate ran the local agency. This was about 8 years ago. I eventually managed to get her direct contact (and some others), and we chatted on QQ. I met a few of those ladies in China, most had paid for membership and were really looking for a husband, but they never read or received admirer letters. They were handled entirely by translators, except for one or two of the couple of dozens I talked to.

The first meetings in China were thus a full discovery of each other. The girls knew nothing of me, and their photos were sometimes heavily photoshopped, and I did run into some major surprises, although I also got lucky.

My wife was actually interested but couldn't afford the joining fee, so the free joining was a great opportunity. So when I broke off contact after I realized I was talking to a translator, she eventually contacted me on QQ a few weeks later. We're married with 2 kids, more on that later.

You could actually think the agencies are entirely to blame, were it not for Chnlove profiteering knowingly from the system, and even the women relying voluntarily on the agencies to find a suitable groom because they are too busy or lazy to get involved in the communications.

Now on to the women: many are genuine, at least this was the case 8 years ago. Many are obviously not. Of the genuine ones, don't expect them to accept a huge age difference unless you're extremely wealthy, and if you are, you probably don't need to come look in China. Also, looks-wise, if you couldn't date her at home, you probably can't here either. Most will be unwanted by Chinese men, too old (30+), bad background, divorced with or without kids, or simply unattractive. We foreigners actually have the reputation of taking the uglies. I live in China now and go to a massage parlour for a genuine massage once in a while, but they do offer extras. One of the girls speaks English and told me she is on Chnlove and hopes for a rich escape. The real pretty ladies here are in high demand, you won't find them on Chnlove. The standard of living has also made leaps ahead, they generally don't need a middle-class laowai for a comfortable life anymore.

So if you're really into Chinese women, I would suggest you come here to try your luck. As a foreigner, you'll always have a little bonus when it comes to dating, but it won't go as far as it maybe used to 10 or 20 years ago. I know a foreigner who is dating a total stunner, but he's actually really famous. Other successful foreigners (in business) here are not so lucky.

Save your money for plane tickets and avoid this site. There are some free ones, try your luck there, or learn Chinese and join the Chinese sites. Actually, just learn Chinese. If you're 40+, the probability that potential dates speak English is very slim. Younger than 25 yo Chinese have a higher English speaking rate.

Would I recommend the Chinese/Western cultural mix? It's a double-edged knife. In some ways, it's fun, in others, it's a nuisance. I have no big regrets, but our marriage is not idyllic and mostly held together by the kids. So don't have your expectations too high. Chinese are very money-focused, much more than we can imagine, and that weighs on relationships.

ChnLove.com ChnLove Review: A Complete Scam - Don't Fall for It!

This site, ChnLove, is a complete scam. I fell for it and I feel like a complete fool. The women on the site are absolutely gorgeous, but I highly doubt that they are even real. I would receive letters that had nothing to do with the previous one and the questions I asked were never answered. When I would try to talk to someone "online," it seemed like a computer was answering me just to start the timer. Finally, someone would come on and talk to me, but it had nothing to do with the relationship I was trying to develop. I was a sucker for believing it was real.

I paid for a call to a lady and it took her 15 minutes just to get a piece of paper and something to write with. When I tried to give her my phone number or email address, she took forever. She finally gave me her phone number, but it wasn't even a working number. I paid $80 for contact information and all I got was a PO box. I was so stupid that I paid for another love call, but the translator called me and said that the lady was a $#*! and didn't have time to talk. I never got to talk to her and never did.

I finally paid for an email address and got a fake one at first. After several months of calling the office, they finally got me one that worked. The person on the other end answered my emails with love and kisses, but all the pictures she sent me were from a picture library and not current ones of her. Every question I asked her was ignored and brushed over with things about dreaming to be with me and what a wonderful life we were going to have. Even that email dried up when I told her I wanted to come and see her. She was just too busy, but I would always see her available online. It seemed like the person "online" was a staff member or something. There is no way anyone could be available all that time.

Most of these beautiful ladies are just in their 20s. Do they really think that they are going to find some guy in a foreign country and leave their life and family in China to go live with him in his country? There are so many red flags with this company. There is a bunch of them, foreignladies, chnlove, loveme, and others. The one lady I was "going to marry" was on all of them under a different name. I never did find out her real name. They are all absolutely beautiful and they can spark a love call and your imagination, but believe me, they are not real.

We would be in this deep love relationship letter by letter, then I would get a letter about a poem or a flower or about the beautiful sky with not even an "I miss you" or "I love you" that was there in several letters before. I really believe someone else wrote the letter and of course, you just paid a fortune to read it and another fortune to reply to it. They charge you for every letter sent and received.

I asked my "lady" if she got paid to answer the letters or be online. She told me she had to pay to get listed on the site and did not get paid anything. I don't believe that for a minute. I read a review of a lady that worked for them in staff and in that review she admitted that she made real good money there and eventually she quit because her conscience finally got to her because she felt guilty for scamming men and playing with their emotions and feelings.

The bottom line is I don't know how they get away with it. One has an office in Phoenix, AZ and one has an office in Hong Kong. They are good and they have it well organized. They got me to spend a lot of money with a hope that I really had found the love of my life. The pictures are stunning and irresistible, but they are not the person or persons behind the curtain. I just wish they were. I was so excited, just like a little boy with candy, but the candy happened to be made with salt instead of sugar.

ChnLove.com ChnLove Review: Why I Believe It's a Total Scam

I gotta say, I'm pretty sure ChnLove and all its dating sites are a total scam. Here's why I think that:
1. As soon as I signed up for the Qpid Network and logged in to Chnlove, I started getting bombarded with instant chat requests from Chinese ladies. Like, within 20 seconds of logging in. There were like 10 requests in a row, which seems pretty fishy to me. It's like some automated process is sending these requests, and you have to buy credits to chat with the women. Plus, some of the requests had a sexual tone to them, which seems out of character for Chinese women. I mean, I know they're reserved and all. And I logged in late at night, so it's not like there would be a ton of women online at that time. All of this makes me think the site is a scam.
2. The fact that you have to pay $7 just to read or send one email, and then another $7 to view an attached pic in the email, is a huge red flag. I haven't seen any other dating site that charges such high fees and doesn't allow direct contact with the women you're interested in. Other sites charge a monthly fee, which seems more reasonable to me.
3. The fact that you have to communicate through an interpreter is also suspicious. Why can't you talk directly to the women? It seems like Chnlove just wants to make more money by charging higher fees.
4. If the women on the site were real, they wouldn't need an interpreter. They would be fluent in English to some degree, since they have to write their profiles in English. It doesn't make sense for them to be on a dating site for English-speaking men if they can't speak any English at all. So the fact that you need an interpreter just adds to my suspicion that the site is a scam.
5. After joining the Qpid Network, I googled "Is Chnlove a scam" and read several reviews that confirmed my suspicions. So I decided to test the site by changing my profile to make myself look unattractive. I even replaced my description with garbage. But I still got chat requests from women, some of which were sexual in nature. There's no way a woman would contact a man with no description of himself in his profile. And I was getting chat requests from women well outside my specified age range, which just doesn't make sense. All of this makes me think the site is definitely a scam.
6. The photos of women on the site are obviously photoshopped. Women in their 40s and 50s look like they're in their late teens or early 20s. It's just not possible. And why would women in their 40s or 50s post photos of themselves from when they were in their 20s on a dating site? It doesn't make any sense. I saw several profiles like this, which just confirms my belief that the Qpid Network is a total scam.

Honestly, I'm glad I didn't give them any of my money. I hope this review helps other people avoid getting scammed by Chnlove and its family of dating sites.

ChnLove.com ChnLove Review: A Waste of Time and Money, Possible Fraud

I've been using ChnLove for about a year now and I have to say, I'm not impressed. While there are plenty of beautiful women on the site, I can't help but wonder if they're even real. It seems like the dating service is just trying to keep me happy while they pocket my money.

One thing I've noticed is that the agency doesn't send all of the letters I write. I pay for the letters and assume they were sent, but when I asked the lady I was communicating with if she got my letter and some things I sent her, she never answered my questions nor mentioned receiving my letters. I asked her several times in different letters, but she never responded. I concluded that they were not sending her all of my letters.

Another issue I have with ChnLove is that every letter is reviewed by management for content. They may send the letter, but they edit things out of the letter without telling you. I know for a fact that this happened to me.

The dating service also won't allow you to exchange emails with your lady unless you pay an exorbitant fee. They strongly recommend that you continue to write letters and do chats, which are very expensive. But my question is, how does continuing to write letters and doing chats progress your relationship?

They send every letter the lady writes, which costs you money when you read them. But you should realize that the one writing the letter to you may not be the lady you wanted to communicate with. It could be some sweet-talking translator, getting paid to keep the hook in your mouth.

I complained on the ChnLove forum about my suspicions, but none of my critical responses nor my new topic were ever listed on the forum. It seems like management doesn't want bad things for others to read.

Overall, I think this dating service is a total waste of my time and money. I doubt they care much whether the men and women using the site ever reach the relationship stage, unless there is money for the dating agency associated with furthering the relationship. It's difficult to prove, but I have some very valid reasons for thinking they didn't send all the letters and edited things out of my letters.

If you have excess money to throw away, by all means, join this dating service. But in my opinion, it's a rip-off and probably borders on fraud.

ChnLove.com ChnLove Review: Not Worth the Time or Money - Beware of Scams and Fake Profiles

I've been browsing reviews on here and I have to say, the lower ratings are probably spot on. I've been using ChnLove for about a year now and I've talked to a lot of different ladies while trying to narrow down my options. Eventually, I found one lady that I wanted to seriously pursue and I bought her private email. However, once I got her email, she barely responded to me and her messages were very short. It's strange because I could write long letters to her on the site and she would respond with 4-7 letters, but on her private email, she barely responded at all. I'm not sure if it was actually the lady I was speaking with or if it was someone else behind her profile. Maybe it was an agent or another lady. Either way, it was disappointing because I was serious about finding a relationship and it seemed like she was only there to make money for the site.

I suspect that most of the women on ChnLove are either agents or real ladies who are paid to be on the site to make money for the site. They don't seem to care if you get hurt or not. It's frustrating for men who are actually serious about finding a relationship or a wife. I do believe that there are some real women on the site, but you would have to go through a lot of scams before you find someone who is real and serious. That can cost a lot of money and time.

One of the biggest factors for me was the price of the packages on the site. Every time I had money, I would make excuses not to spend it on ChnLove. Looking back, I realize that my money was better spent elsewhere. It's a shame that the owners of the site don't seem to care about their customers getting hurt. I had fun on the site for a year, but I won't be purchasing any more credits. I still need to tell the rest of the ladies that I won't be communicating with them anymore.

Customer support is also not very helpful. They always refer you to their FAQ section, which is not very useful. Overall, I don't think it's worth the time and money to use ChnLove. If you're serious about finding a partner or a wife, look elsewhere. The positive reviews on the site are mostly fake and unhelpful. They don't provide any real information about the site.

Lastly, I want to warn others about women who talk about sex or say they love you immediately in early communication. These women are not to be taken seriously. They're probably not sincere and not serious about finding a relationship. It's frustrating to spend a whole year on this site and not find anything. Time is just as important as money, and I feel like I wasted both on ChnLove.

In conclusion, I would advise others to stay away from ChnLove and spend their money elsewhere. It's not worth the risk of getting hurt or scammed. If you do decide to use the site, only talk to one woman at a time and be cautious. You have been warned.

ChnLove.com ChnLove Review: A Hub for Fake Love and Money-Making Machine

I'm no expert, but I've spent a lot of money on ChnLove and other Qpid sites. I was looking for love, but all I found was fake love. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. You'll spend a lot of money and end up heartbroken because the woman you fell in love with doesn't exist. They don't care about your emotions, only your money.

Here's my experience with ChnLove:

After my divorce, I decided to try something new and signed up for ChnLove. I made a good profile and paid for credits (1 credit = $6.99 = 10 minutes chat). I met a nice woman who was real, but one night I saw her online when she shouldn't have been. It turned out her translator was using her account to drum up business. ChnLove is a hub for agencies all over China to tap into and get commission for keeping men chatting as long as possible. My friend got cheaper membership costs for allowing the translator/agency to use her identity. I fell out of love with her after that.

I chatted with many women, some of whom were more genuine than others. Here's how I could tell if a woman was fake:

- If she says she doesn't know anything about emails or the internet, but she can log into ChnLove, she's lying.
- If she gives you a generic email address or phone number with a title like "love," it's probably fake.
- If she talks about sex from the first conversation or compliments you excessively, she's fake.
- If she seems distracted or not paying attention when you call her, she's probably fake.

ChnLove is a sophisticated money-making machine. They let fake profiles exist because they need the business. If you want to succeed, chat with a woman you like, not one who chats with you and gives you attention. Don't waste your time on the same old faces and chat lines.

If you want to get to know a woman better, get her on QQ or Skype. Seeing her in person will make the experience feel more real. Look at where she lives to learn more about her situation and life. Language is important, so don't try to have a relationship with someone you can't communicate with.

ChnLove is owned by Qpid in Hong Kong, which also owns iDateAsia for places like Thailand and Vietnam, and CharmingDate based in Kiev. Kiev is the prostitute capital of Europe, so be careful. All the women on these sites look like models in their pictures.

I could tell you more, but I'll keep it light. If you need help navigating this minefield, feel free to email me. Membership is expensive, so only rich-ish people go there.

ChnLove.com Navigating ChnLove: My Experience and Tips for Success

Hey there! I just wanted to share my thoughts on ChnLove dating site. I've been using it for a while now and I have to say, it's been an interesting experience. I know there are a lot of mixed opinions out there, so I thought I'd give my two cents.

First off, let me just say that emotions and logic don't always mix well. It's easy to get caught up in the idea of finding your perfect match on the site, but it's important to keep a level head. Don't let your emotions cloud your judgement. Take things slow and don't rush into anything.

Secondly, let's talk about the women on the site. Yes, there are some beautiful women on there, but don't assume that every single woman in China is desperate to get married. They're just like women anywhere else in the world - they're looking for someone who is a good match for them. So, if you're not a George Clooney lookalike, don't expect to have an advantage in China. You need to bring more to the table than just your looks.

Thirdly, if you do find someone you're interested in, make sure you take the time to get to know them. Don't rush into anything. Ask for a selfie with a message on their hand to prove that they're genuine. If they're willing to do that, then great! But if they make excuses or ignore your request, it's time to reevaluate things.

If you do find yourself getting too emotionally invested in someone, take a break from the site for a while. Use that time to explore other Chinese dating sites and see how the women on there compare. You might be surprised at what you find.

Overall, I think ChnLove is a decent dating site. It's not perfect, but what dating site is? Just remember to keep a level head and don't let your emotions get the best of you. Good luck out there!

ChnLove.com ChnLove Review: Unethical Practices, Fake Profiles, and High Fees - Not Recommended

ChnLove is a website that claims to be an integrity network across Asia. However, as a user, I have found that it is not entirely true. The website taps into photo databases of would-be models and chooses the hottest ones to attract clients. However, only about 10% of the profiles are genuine, and the rest are just a facade. The website charges high photo fees to rich ladies and has a long and ever-growing library of ladies with no idea that their pictures are being used.

The website establishes costly qpids so that the concept of money spending is lost. It has about 40 profiles of ladies from sincere cultured 50-year-olds to hot and horny 18-year-olds. The staff is trained to handle new client intake and allot "ladies" to match the profile of the client as asked. The website presents the pictures in a way that the client cannot keep orderly and cannot easily count the number of emfs sent. It coaxes fools to pay $7 to send an email pic that costs ChnLove $0 and keeps men clients in hope.

The website keeps any female clients in fear of opening their mouth and trains agency staff to play-act as if in conversation. They often say "I miss you" or "I love you" and let ladies send free icons and ask the client to send one for $7. The website never sends anything but stock photos from the majority who are fake ladies. It makes cheap low-quality videos and charges the lady to make them and the man to watch them.

The website trains agency staff to avoid questions that are too hard and makes clients pay more by not disclosing 10emfs you can buy contacts. It makes clients pay more by delaying providing contact and hence extra emfs. The website tricks male clients to pay $150 for 3 ways of contact when $50 for one is needed. It arms agency staff with fake stories if they are 'coming over,' especially 'away 2 mths parents ill.'

ChnLove shamelessly misrepresents women by makeup and paintshop and gives mindless responses through customer care. They release lots of emails to read at $7 each onto the client when they stock up qpids and withhold for those low on qpids so they get rip off chat urge. The website rips off the client for managing phone calls, e.g., pay $35 for a $2 call. It expects clients not to audit repeated ruses and hopes no client is clever enough to spot repeats.

The website preys on men's hopes and delusion as it takes 18 months to realize they have been fooled and much longer to admit that a guy with words was making them cream themselves. They never ever get into an imaginary lady profile, just reflect what the man wants to hear. They involve desperate others to keep agency staff quiet and threaten ladies without a witness of bad things if they blab. They buy silence and can use my pics again to allay huge fees on the lady.

ChnLove creates one persona that supposedly has all her aging parents' wealth for you to manage and lures clients to spend by always ending with a plea to respond, talk, send a pic, etc. They lure clients by saying they are coming to their town soon, so they spend fast to get contact details. The website establishes a bland and no-details profile generic letter that can be used for any man. They never disclose what conditions, fees, and rules women sign under and never disclose to ladies if real, what the man has to pay, let the lady assume it's the same as them, low or zero.

The website preys on naivety and hope of all clients, making them feel the drubby room operation is some dignified network. After all, the first line of bully behavior is superficial charm. They allow pop-ups all over the place to advertise themselves and pretend to be distant from other named online services so as not to have to account.

As an Aussie man, I have found that it is handy to have some attitudes while using this website. At least we are not lowlife scammers, and we do get a lot of eye candy for free as long as we don't start believing. It is good fun analyzing the big puzzle of the scam methods and good for paranoia if you also think few +ve letters are from ChnLove's operators.

I admit that I have spent more than $500 on this website, so I bought 100 qpids and aimed to spend 25 per lady so that I could get to the email stage with four ladies. However, it is buried and/or not disclosed information. Then the next test is whether their folks just got ill, and the lady is away for two months.

In conclusion, ChnLove is not a website that I would recommend to anyone. It is unethical behavior that would bring fines or worse in the first world. The website preys on men's hopes and delusions and creates a false sense of dignity. It is better to find a website that has low rate ethical transparent practices and get ten times the traffic and twice the revenue.

ChnLove.com Navigating ChnLove: Tips for Finding Love in China

I totally agree with the previous review about ChnLove. This website is known for overcharging its clients and taking advantage of their naivety and weaknesses. However, there are ways to beat them at their own game. My advice is to move to China and find what you are looking for. It may be easier to find love in other Asian countries where women can leave freely with less hassle and paperwork, but from my experience living in China for a few years, I found that it's mainly for men.

One thing to note is that any messages that you send trying to make personal contact while in your country are not delivered. This includes email and phone numbers, Skype for video, and other forms of communication. I used to write some poetry and they said they would use it and sell them, so I stopped. Also, most of the clients don't speak English anyway.

I arranged to meet a lady at the downtown Beijing agency on my first holiday trip, but she used an old picture and had a boyfriend who rang while she was with me at the agency. They ended up getting married afterwards, so it was no loss. However, I learned my lesson and asked for a tour guide translator to spend time with while I was there. We had a great time sightseeing, and there was no funny business at all. Beijing has a lot to offer by way of cultural history, wining and dining, and other attractions.

One thing to be aware of is that a lot of the girls on ChnLove are dinner girls, and some are even hookers who work the streets. I discovered this when living in Guangdong, so I stopped using the site. Instead, I met other ladies through friends who were single mothers, as Chinese men traditionally do not show interest in divorced women.

I find the women in China to be petite and friendly, but it's important to choose wisely. Remember that you have more to offer, and things can turn sour once settled in your own country later. Live with them for some time to get to know each other, travel, and have some fun. But don't complain that you got ripped off because you should really know better and do your homework.

Naturally, there needs to be an investment, so go and look after it there before you return happily married. Just make sure you clear up any bills before you leave if you are going to rely on teaching English. I met someone by chance in a restaurant who could speak a little English, and we started by passing notes across the table. Lucky for me, she had been taking English classes. Later, when we developed a relationship after about half a year, I offered her to move into my apartment, and she did after six weeks of humming and harring. We didn't tell her parents straight away.

Now, living in Australia, we have a beautiful daughter and a son on the way. I did this all on my own, so it is possible. I even completed the tail end of a BA while living there. I learned some Chinese before leaving and took a phone with translation on it, way before Apple and Samsung became popular. So, if you're looking for love in China, my advice is to do your research, be cautious, and take the time to get to know someone before making any big decisions.

ChnLove.com CHNLove Review: A Total Scam Site - My Experience & How I Got My Money Back

So, I wanted to share my experience with CHNLove, and let me tell you, it was not a good one. This site is a total scam, and they don't give refunds to people who use their fake site. I had to work really hard every day to tell them that their site sucks and should be banned from the internet. I even had to follow legal protocol and inform my legal advisor of what had gone on and how much I had spent on this site. He set to work issuing a motion to log it in the court in America, but it was quite hard to do this motion because they hide their address and other details. So, I contacted CHNLove customer services and asked them simple questions, which they refused to answer. All I needed was for them to reply, so I hacked their IP address, which led back to a server in America.

The notion was set at the Courthouse in that town where the owner of the server was summoned to the courthouse. He refused to disclose CHNLove details such as address and names of the owners, so I opened a case for them to release their address. The motion was ready to go ahead, but it was adjourned for a week or so till they could slot the hearing. CHNLove emailed me immediately as they knew that they were next to go to court, which was already set in The Royal Courts of Queen Elizabeth II in Hong Kong. The court system in Hong Kong is run by The UK, so that bit was easy.

The email offered me a full refund if I stopped legal action, which I kept going as an incentive to pay me everything I paid on their scam site. They sent me a dodgy form which had 4 statements at the bottom, and they wanted me to sign it with a proper signature. I sent a digital signature, but they declined that. So, I scribbled out some of the statements that I didn't agree with, and they sent a fresh application form. I emailed them to tell them I don't agree with their statements, and they never got back to me.

I emailed the customer service, and they replied back to me saying they want the form filled in properly and they wanted it complete and sent to them before the 25th November. Otherwise, I would forfeit the refund, and it was like 2 days till the 25th. So, I waited and emailed them and said it's ok we will let the courts refund me with several million once I sued you! By the next morning, the refund was in my PayPal account.

Now, I have to be honest with you. I didn't book any courts or there was no lawsuit. I called my bluff, and they fell for it, and I got a refund with a little fuss. So, follow my lead, do what I did, and you will get your money back. Excuse is tell them this is a fake site, and you are going to take action and convince them. Make it as real as possible. Heed my warning, don't take NO for an answer, and beat the scammers. If you need any help, just comment, and I will try to help. So, good luck people in your claims!

ChnLove.com Navigating ChnLove: Tips and Pitfalls for Meeting Chinese Women Online

ChnLove is a site that is used by many matchmaker agencies in China. These agencies are in it to make money, and ChnLove has little control over how they use the site. I have used the site myself and have visited China to meet some of the ladies from the site.

The agencies make money in a few ways. Firstly, the women who come to them to find a western husband pay them to "represent" them. Secondly, they receive a cut of the fees that the men pay to send an EMF letter, watch a video, have a "live chat", and so on. Finally, they make money from providing a translator should a man decide to visit China and meet one or more of the ladies he's "met" online.

There are a couple of things that guys should be aware of when using ChnLove. Firstly, some of the profiles are completely fake. The agencies post profiles of super-hot women to reel in the men, then do a bait and switch. If she looks too good to be true, she's probably a fake. Secondly, chances are slim that you're actually corresponding with the lady when you exchange EMF mail. A good sign that you're being played is if the woman rarely or never answers pointed questions, or keeps making excuses not to exchange information for direct contact.

If you are fortunate enough to communicate with a real woman that you're interested in, and decide to go visit her, hire your own translator! The agencies will try to charge 2 - 3 times the going rate for translation services. You can search out translation services for their city on the Internet.

I wouldn't suggest going to China exclusively to meet the "woman of your dreams" that you met on ChnLove unless you've had video chats with her apart from ChnLove, you'll already be in China for other reasons, or you plan to meet several women and are ok with chalking the whole trip up as a "travel experience". I did travel to China and met several women I'd met on ChnLove and had had video chats with. All in all, the experience was fine.

Be aware that many Chinese women, especially those with kid(s) under 18 are seeking our a western man who will become their ticket to a better life. She may well be willing to get a job and work, but her main goal is a better life for the kid(s) - not necessarily an undying love for the guy. One thing I've done to try and discern this is to suggest that we could live in China, instead of the USA. This helped he weed out a couple ladies.

Overall, ChnLove can be a good way to meet Chinese women, but you need to be aware of the pitfalls. It's important to do your research and be cautious. I did marry a great Chinese lady that I met through a different site. It hasn't been easy, but she's definitely a keeper! Good luck to everyone.

ChnLove.com ChnLove Review: High Costs and Restrictions Make Communication Difficult with Lovely Ladies

I've been using ChnLove and their other sites for about 11 weeks now, and I've spent around $6000 talking to over 20 lovely ladies. The problem is that the site severely restricts contact with these ladies. You have to go through the site for all communication, and any attempts to communicate directly with the ladies are blocked. This means that you have to pay around $7 for every message you send and receive (the guy pays both ways), and you can also do live chat at $1 a minute. However, I've found that the timer for live chat is often incorrect, and I've been charged for longer periods than I actually talked for. I've complained about this several times, but they haven't addressed the issue.

I managed to arrange for one of the ladies to visit me after spending hundreds of dollars communicating with her. However, a few hours before she was due to arrive, she sent me an email (another $7) saying that she decided to have a friend meet her instead because he was going to give her a birthday party and didn't want me to meet her after all. I'm not sure if this was all a set-up or if she was even real. For weeks, she had been telling me how much she loved me and couldn't wait to meet me, but it all turned out to be bull.

I also have another lady who was supposed to come visit me, but she keeps saying that her friend is in the hospital with pneumonia and getting worse. I've had to pay more money to inquire about this, but I'm not sure if it's real or just another string-along.

The cost of using the site is also quite high. It costs $7 for a photo and $14 for a short 15-second video (which they censor), and $7 a minute if you want to talk to them on the phone. They also censor certain words and phrases, like "make love." It's frustrating because the ladies on the site are some of the best you'll find anywhere, but the cost and restrictions make it difficult to communicate with them.

I'm staying on the site because I'm hoping to get the contact details of one of the ladies I've been talking to. After 90 days, I can request their contact details if we've exchanged at least 10 emails each way and the lady agrees to it. However, I've read online that this doesn't always happen.

It's also frustrating that the ladies don't have to pay anything to use the site, and I have to keep explaining the high cost of communication to them. Three of the ladies even offered to pay for some of the credits I use, but the company wouldn't allow it.

Overall, I'm enjoying talking to the ladies on the site, but the cost and restrictions make it difficult. I'm hoping to get the contact details of one of them soon, but we'll see if that actually happens.

ChnLove.com ChnLove Review: A Complete Scam or Legit Site to Meet Chinese Women?

So, I recently joined ChnLove, which is one of the sites offered by QPID Network. At first glance, it seems like a great site to meet real Chinese women. However, after spending some time on the site, I realized that most of the women on there are probably not who they claim to be.

I received hundreds of letters from women who were interested in marrying me, having sex with me, and falling in love with me. It all seemed too good to be true. And it was. After doing some research, I found out that many of the women on the site are paid to monitor multiple profiles and respond to all the correspondence. This means that the women in the profile may not be the ones you are actually talking to.

One of the first things that tipped me off was the fact that all the women on the site were beautiful. I mean, really beautiful. It seemed unrealistic. And it was. Most of the women are chosen and paid for their photos based on their looks. And they are all thin. I mean, come on. That's not realistic.

If you look closely at some of the photos, you can see that a few are natural, but most got the photoshop treatment. And when additional photos are included with their introduction/admirer letter, they either are just repeats of the same photo or they look way different than the ones in their profile.

Then there are the stupid comments left on my message wall. And how can they say they read my profile and then ask questions about subjects they would know the answer to if they really read my profile? It just doesn't make sense.

I paid to chat a couple of times, but it was a complete waste of money. I wasn't on the chat board for more than half an hour and it consumed almost all my $100 worth of credits. And who are you going to complain to? There's no one to complain to. It's a complete scam.

One gal took forever to reply. It was like she was purposely burning up my time. When I told her she seemed distracted, her reply was that she was trying to translate. I doubt it. They probably get paid on a commission basis which would explain why they try so hard to get your attention. You are their paycheck.

There might be some legit women on the site, but I haven't found any yet. The women I see as fake are the ones that don't mention you or anything about your profile. They throw a generic letter about themselves to every man that views their profile. "I'm a simple girl. I get on here looking for serious man for much love. Maybe you are this man, yes?" It's just a complete waste of time and money.

I've spent several hundred dollars on this site and I regret it. Check the internet. You will find more complaints. The praise reviews are obviously sent from QPID to post. I found a Prosecuting attorney that got burned and was working this the Attorney General for a refund and to bring charges against the company. There are other poor souls. Don't feel sorry for me. I came here with eyes wide open.

I'm campaigning against this company and hope others will help me put a hurt to their wallet by exposing them to unsuspecting men. I hope the sickos that troll their sites never read this.

ChnLove.com Chnlove and Sister Sites: A Complete Scam! Don't Waste Your Time and Money!

Chnlove and their sister sites are a complete scam! I highly recommend staying away from them. The poor Chinese girls pay money to upload their profile, and the men around the world who think they are talking to the girls on the pictures are being scammed! It's a complete and utter waste of time and money.

The person you are actually talking to is not the Chinese girl on the profile, but the translators who work for the agency. And most of them are men! Not even women! I was shocked when I found out that the person I was talking to was actually a man pretending to be a girl. These men act like a profile girl and do sex chat to clean up your wallet! And, the poor Chinese girls you really want to meet have no idea you exist!

Expect to spend thousands of dollars fast! It takes 10 emails to get contact info, 30 days to chat to get post info, and 30 more days to get their email and number. You spend 60 days on the site and get a random fake contact information from the same office. And still, you don't meet the girl you want to meet.

Because of them, so many people who have the potential to meet their dream partners never get to meet them! They just suck your money out, and this is their business model. They scam both sides of the game!

For those who have been victimized by Chnlove, start shooting out complaints to all your local agencies to put them behind bars and shut their sites down. Google your local internet fraud sites.

Again, don't talk to these [censored]s who are trying to do sex chat. I played along for a whole week. LMAO~

Tip: Go to China and meet a nice person for yourself. Stay clear of Chnlove; they are a can of worms that will eat you out.

A Philippines agency was caught and is now in jail and shut down. I became friends with the manager of this particular agency, and we kept in touch. She quit because she could not take the deceiving of men anymore. She says all the women in profiles are real, but they hire women to pretend they are these women and just lead you on to spend as much money as they can out of you. Some women you do actually talk to, but you have to ask the right questions right away to figure this out.

The police found out through some foreign men coming to them, and the owner was arrested and thrown in jail and awaiting court as I write this. All the former employees have told them of the scam, and that the orders to do this come from the QPID Network head office in Hong Kong.

This is a good time to now make this a huge issue and get these [censored] shut down as the poor women that actually want to meet someone are also losers.

My friend was asked to open her own agency, and they said if she did, she had to do this scam. This was from QPID management in head office.

I have called Visa to get them to do a fraud investigation and remove their name from this website, which is really how to hurt them. But Visa tells me they do not consider this fraud as I willingly agreed and paid. But is that not what fraud is? Someone tricking you out of your money? Clearly, Visa is aware of the issue, but again, profits before what is right for their clients. So Visa and Master Card are just as bad as QPID. I wish someone would do an expose on both Visa and Qpid.

ChnLove.com ChnLove Review: Major Red Flags to Watch Out For in Finding a Chinese Wife

I've been using ChnLove for over 5 years now, and I have to say, there are some major red flags to watch out for. As many others have mentioned, if you decide to meet a woman you've been communicating with on the site, she may disappear if she isn't actually the woman in the profile. This has happened to me multiple times, and it's incredibly frustrating. One way to avoid this is to ask the woman to come meet you instead. If she refuses, she's likely not the woman in the profile.

I do believe there are some legitimate women on the site, but the majority of them are actually translators posing as the women in the pictures. They do this to generate income for themselves and the company. I know this because I've contacted some of the women in the profiles directly, and they had no idea their profiles were being used. In fact, one woman I spoke to had been happily married for over two years when her profile was refreshed and used by a translator to generate income. When I contacted the agency about this, they denied that she was married, but I had proof. They eventually deleted her profile, but they never contacted her about it. It's clear that the agency is more interested in making money than in helping people find genuine relationships.

Another red flag to watch out for is if you receive identical letters from the same woman more than once. This means she's not legitimate. If you receive identical letters from two different women, that means a translator is posing as both of them. Additionally, if a woman's replies become shorter and more generic the longer you write to her, she's likely not the woman in the pictures. Translators get paid for each letter they send, so they want to send as many as possible in as little time as possible.

It's also suspicious that so many of the same women seem to be on the site for at least 20 hours per day, every day. I keep odd hours due to my work, and I've noticed that many of the same women are on the site all the time. It's hard to believe that they're actually spending that much time chatting with men.

Overall, I think there are better sites out there for finding a Chinese wife. ChnLove may have some legitimate women on it, but it's clear that the agency is more interested in making money than in helping people find genuine relationships. I've deleted my profile and won't be giving them any more of my money. If you're looking for a Chinese wife, I suggest finding a site where you can get the woman's address and email her directly.

ChnLove.com ChnLove.com Review: A Costly Scam with No Honesty or Standards

I have been using ChnLove.com for years now, and I must admit that it is mostly a scam. However, due to the limited options available, I kept hoping that I could find a few honest ladies who were at least 40 years old (I am 56). Unfortunately, I have spent hundreds of dollars on this site, which is very expensive. For instance, you have to pay $7 per letter, $7 per 10 minutes of chat, and $7 per minute phone call. Moreover, you must exchange 20 letters with a lady to qualify to request her address, and when you finally get it, you have to pay $200 for it!

The agencies that work for ChnLove.com are privately owned, and they are located in different cities in China. Unfortunately, there is no honor with these agencies, and there are no standards set up by the actual ChnLove.com website to hold them accountable. The private owners of the agencies get paid from your letters, chats, and phone calls. Therefore, they recruit many attractive women for photo sessions and set up profiles. Some of the women might actually be real, but I do not think these women know that their profiles are being used by the agency to phish for men!

As a member, you think you are getting "Admiration Letters" from quality, attractive women, but in truth, it is an employee of the local agency 98% of the time! I have seen the lady who wrote me a letter online and chatted with her. I could see from her words in chat that she did not even know who I was, and supposedly, she just sent me an "Admiration Letter" that same day! I had many examples of this kind! Also, you get "Admiration Letters" from the most gorgeous women from that city's agency, many of whom are very young, under 25! I mean, they are gorgeous! However, it's the agency hoping you will reply to the "Admiration Letter" ($7) or try to chat live with the lady ($7 for 10 minutes).

While you are online, just going through profiles, you will get bombarded with live chat invites from incredibly beautiful women. Years ago, it was just kind, seemingly real invites, but in the past two years, the invites are most of the time invites with one-line highly sexual comments. You know Chinese women don't talk like this! These agencies are desperate for more money! As soon as you click on that invite, you are charged $7! How do I know the live chat is bogus? Well, many times I would check to see if a lady was real. I would click on her chat invite as I had received an "Admiration Letter" from her earlier! She would not even know who I was! If the ladies of that particular city are real at all, they have no idea how their profile is being used by that agency! It is a 100% scam!

These last years, I know their game very well, but I kept trying to find that one mature lady that really might be real. It is a shame I have always been so attracted to Asian women! It has been a waste of time! However, I am on to a new site called ChinaLoveMatch, which was recommended by people here at Site Jabber. I will try it out and see how it goes. You would be better off than using ChnLove.com by trying a site that has a $25-40 monthly membership and allows you full access to letter writing, chat, and getting the ladies' contact info. You probably have a 30/70 chance of finding a true lady. Just be careful and be methodical to check all her actions/answers for truth. A true Chinese woman is honorable, I still believe, but the Chinese businesses are like any other country, all about the money and getting it anyway they can! They have ZERO honor! ChnLove is a true 100% scam, take it from a man who lost hundreds and hundreds there over several years!

ChnLove.com ChnLove Review: A Total Scam - Don't Waste Your Time or Money

So, my buddy told me about this site called ChnLove and how he's been chatting with a lady from China. He's even booked a trip to go see her! I was a bit skeptical, so I decided to sign up and see if it's legit. Let me tell you, it's not. This site is a total scam.

Here's how it works: everything you do on the site costs credits. Want to read an email? That'll cost you credits. Want to reply? More credits. Want to call them? You guessed it, credits. Even if they call you, it still costs credits. It's ridiculous.

After signing up, I received a ton of admirers. I clicked on one and saw that she claimed to be in the same state as me. I was excited, thinking this could be easy. I paid for some credits to reply and mentioned that I was in the same state. She said she was on a work visa for three years. Seemed legit, so I decided to let her call me. The call lasted two minutes and cost two credits. I didn't have time to exchange details, so I added more credits and she called again. This time, I gave her my mobile number and two email addresses. She read them back to me and they were correct. I thought, "Great, I can talk to her for free now!" But nope. She claimed she sent me a text and an email, but I never received them. She said there was something wrong with her phone and that the email might take some time. Really? From the same state and country? I told her I wasn't adding more credits and that I'd wait for her text or email. But surprise, surprise, I never heard from her again.

If this site wasn't a scam and she really wanted to meet me, there wouldn't be a problem. But it is a scam, and I wasted my money. If you use this site, you'll waste your money too.

And to ChnLove, don't bother with your excuses. One of your employees messed up this time by saying they lived so close and still nothing happened. If you seriously think you have an excuse for this one, it better be a good one, including a refund. I've already contacted VISA and sent them a link to this page so they can see all the reviews. They also told me they won't be fooled by the "good" scripted reviews that are obviously written by your staff who can't speak English.

I talked to my friend, and he's seen some things that don't add up in his conversations with his lady. He's backed out and removed himself from the site. Don't waste your time or money on ChnLove.

ChnLove.com ChnLove Review: A Big Scam for Men and Women Looking for True Love in China

I've been doing business in China for quite some time now and I travel there several times each year. I've made a lot of friends in the past 10 years and most of them are wonderful people. I was looking for a Chinese wife and decided to use ChnLove (chnlove.com). I spent several thousand dollars on letters and chatting, but eventually, I found out that the agencies are nothing more than big scam artists.

They convince girls to join and often pay for professional photos to be taken and posted. Then the translators are paid to write letters and chat with men pretending to be the girl. The biggest giveaway is if you mention coming to China, at the last minute something always comes up and they are busy or if they show up the girl knows nothing about you and they have another older lady that is the bait and switch girl.

The last time I went from Guangzhou to Shenzhen to meet a girl, two of my friends went along and we trapped them in just such a game. The girl was nice and we actually spent 5 days seeing Shenzhen and getting to know each other. She was shocked when I showed her the letters the agency had sent and one day actually got online and chatted with someone that was pretending to be her while she sat next to me. It was very funny because after challenging the chatter she finally admitted she was not the girl.

The girl tried to get her profile removed but two weeks later they still had it up and called her to tell her another guy had sent her flowers, funny they charge almost two hundred dollars for flowers that cost about thirty in China. I filed a complaint with the main office and finally the agency removed the profile but they called the girl and complained about fines and penalties. The main office is still "checking on the Complaint" and have asked for letters and screen shots of the chats as proof. Needless to say I will get nothing from them even though I provided the girl's phone number and told them to call her and look up the archive of the chats for the day the translator admitted they were a fraud.

Obviously someone needs to get an attorney and file a class action suit against the main agency and seek some serious damages or shut them down. Many of my friends in China advise against the site and know people who have worked as translators for the agencies for experience in English, they all say the same thing, "It's a big scam both for the women and the men. They often charge large fees if a contact ends in a marriage to a man they met on the site.

The really sad thing is there are a lot of honest people that could find great partners if the agencies were honest about their communication, but they mostly use it as an excuse to defraud men and women looking for true love. An easy way is if they will not give you a photo of them holding a notepad with your name on it --- Run.

It should be obvious also that successful girls and women in China can easily find a suitable husband. Never fall for the line they had a bad experience with a Chinese man and want nothing to do with them anymore, it's a lie. Most would prefer a Chinese husband, but like all countries some do find different ethnic groups more attractive. I happen to love Asian women, always have and always will, I will find a suitable Chinese wife but not on this site.

You will find the minute you challenge them they get angry or find some reason to stop communicating. My advice is to join QQ international and use their services to find someone in China. They will immediately want to video chat so you can see each other and the cost is zero. Stay away from this site like it has social disease because it does, but it affects your bank account.

ChnLove.com It's a fraud

Please, stay away and be careful. This website is run by fraudsters and you should be aware of this.
I am absolutely sure that those women are recruited by the website management for one purpose - to take as much money as possible.
I am glad I didn't invest thousand dollars in this crap, but I personally know a guy who came to China to see "a girl of his life" and at the airport was met by her "friend" who said that this girl of his life broke her leg and is now at the hospital and he can't visit her.
It's an old scheme, many men fall on that.
Don't be fooled by this website, guys.

ChnLove.com Extreme huge scam please read and be aware !!

The whole objective is to get contact information and eventually meet, right? Dont expect any meaningful success, the women that are writing you sometimes 10 times a day and cant live without you and then want to 'love-call' you on a daily basis, are the sites scam agents who do have a 'somewhat remote' relationship with the real girl, but will lead you astray with major deception simply to sell non-genuine. Fake letters and chats. When you finally get to the point by their well posted 'contact information' deception policy the same girl who was writing you 10 times a day and hanging on your every word suddenly writes you once off the site and disappears. The same girl who couldnt make it another day without hearing your voice in 'love call' service you pay $10/min for, all of a sudden after you exchange contact information doesnt have a phone, or its broken, or it only works in ukraine/thailand(Idateasia.com) and then the $1000's you just spent on this misrepresented girl is suddenly worthless. After you have earnestly gone through the maze, it usually takes some months and paypal and american express are generally unhelpful/powerless towards resolving your dispute. Beware of prerecorded videos and scam-cams that start and you end up having to pay for, even though you never authorized the camshare and clicked to get out of the video, again their scam agents just trying to sell more video chat for which you pay 3x a regular chat and when you ask them to touch their nose or something, they become defensive but charge you just the same. The scam chats are plagued with promises to make a journey to you which takes months to develope but in the end although you prepare in anticipation, the real girl never actually gets on a plane. Dont think that the admirers really admire you, its all a part of their huge fraud and scam to entice you to engage in very fake and phoney letters and chats. You wont be able to resolve your grievances with the site even though you repeatedly show them screen dumps of their scam and over charge operation. Approach here with extreme caution, on these qpid sites, they are trained experts and highly skillful scam agents who knowingly take advantage of your sincerity and vulnerability, entrenching you in meaningless relationships and leaving you with nothing. Please contact me if you want to know several specific and well documented examples. Lets get together and class action against this huge scam. ))

I have to say that this post confirms exactly what I have suspected almost from the start, which for me was only about a week ago. I was smart enough to pay for credits only through PayPal, and a total of less than $50.00. That way I didn't expose my bank and credit card details. Because it's such a small amount, it's not (yet) worth the time and hassle of contacting PayPal or the website's "Customer Service" (lol) Department to demand a refund on the basis of fraud. However, I hereby reserve the right to reverse that decision at any time in the future, based on what develops.

My suspicions were raised on both the China site and the Ukraine/Russia site when after viewing dozens of women on each one, I noticed that many of the photos used the exact same locations and props.

For example, in China, does EVERY home have an identical staircase? Does every park have exactly the same blue bamboo pole to hold onto? Or in Ukraine, does EVERY home include a large double bed covered in a white quilt, with a brown leather-covered storage chest at its foot? Does every kitchen have the same style pot on the stove? Does every dining table hold the same white china tea set? Do all the women wear exactly the same clothing, shoes or boots? Despite that, there were at least 3 women who seemed more sincere and believable, with whom I initiated some site-based correspondence. It would be nice if one of them turned into a real, face-to-face relationship, but I'm not holding my breath.

It's sad, even morally reprehensible, that there are sites like this that rip off men who are already vulnerable and hurting emotionally. MGTOW! (If you don't know what that is, Google it and search it on YouTube.)

I would be happy to add my real name to a class-action lawsuit against these perps, even though I've lost only a small amount of money. This behavior is so disgusting, even in the way it exploits at least some of the women, and it violates all principles of respectful human interaction.

I can only agree with the above statements. Charmdate is total scam. No real contacts possible, nor they are desired by the "girls". They split the work between truly beautiful girls (models) and truly frauding writers ("translators"). Stay away.

ChnLove.com Scam alert! Avoid!

These people are money hungry thieves! I wasted so much money on ChnLove and never met a real live human there. All I received was robotic messages. I tried to contact some girls myself and received the same replies! I wanted to get all the money I wasted on this scam but their customer service refused to refund me. Stop scamming innocent people!
Avoid this site like a plague! Most of the profiles here are fake, you need to pay for everything and you will definitely regret you ever used ChnLove!

ChnLove.com Online dating scam site

I had a problem with a lady whom, after spending nearly $3000 on her, had forgotten that I had spoken to her mother only a week earlier, and even accused me of talking to another ladies mother. (I wrote another review about this previously) She wouldn't give me her phone number, or even call me because she was "afraid I might find out her phone number". Again, this woman was "Vicky, Profile # P272064
After complaining to CHNlove, or Qpid about this "fraud", they did Nothing for me. absolutely did not care at all. SO, I contacted my credit card company and had the charges reversed claiming fraud... Qpid THEN contacted me at first telling me I had to call my credit card company to reverse the reversal...Following this?... Anyway, They finally said if I reverse the reversal of charges on my credit card, they would grant me 50 credits. The charges got reversed (again) and I paid my debt, but...Qpid did NOT give me the 50 credits they promised me... They Lied. They only care about getting money, even though they tell you they care about your experience. SO, Whether the ladies are "real" or not, is one thing... the fact is..Chnlove and Qpid will not care about you if there is a problem...and they Lie... I have written proof of it...SO, Keep that in mind if you go there. And NOW, because I complained to them about it, they are terminating my membership... after I spent nearly $8000.00 there. Some of the ladies are real, but the company itself is where the real SCAM is! They only care about making money. Now that they got their money... they terminated my membership... While I was still talking to a lady of interest... Its BS.

ChnLove.com Price charged for love calls either from ladies or to ladies

The price of phone calls either to or authorised from ladies to gentlemen is charged at 1 credit per minute (cost of 1 credit in NZ$10.00), .
I recently, authorised, (mistakenly), for a Chinese lady to call me anytime,
so a phone call was received at 4 pm afternoon, my time.
After explaining that it was CHN LOVE calling and the Ladies reference number, I proceeded to ask the lady her name . It took me 6 minutes to establish she had no grasp of English language and by that time, operator was intterupting phone call by telling me i had 45 seconds to end this call, as my credits were running out.
So to sum things up, I did no even get the ladies first name, she could not speak any English, but no interpretor was present, and it cost me the equivilant of NZ$60.00 for the 6 minute phone call.

While on the subject of CHNLOVE.COM. the site issue you with bonus popints, each time you use a credit to write to a lady in China.
That is fine, you redeem 10 bonus points instead of a credit if you reply to a letter you have received. Suffice to say, that you are only offered this alternate way of paying for new contacts, which makes the bonus points worthless, if you have chosen one lady and write to her exclusively

Think CHNL9OVE.COM is a complete Rip off treating men and women as cash cows to add value to their site, and alternately to the owners pockets.

ChnLove.com Fake ladies

I was a member of www.chnlove.com for about a month and now I'm officially done with this terrible scam website! Most of the girls I met there were obviously fake. I'd like to tell about the girl I recently spoke to. She has really nice photos and look like a real model. Well, they all do. But the worst part was that she didn't speak like a woman at all! She told me about her business and fancy cars! She also said she was quite famous and very rich. So then I asked her what was she doing on Chnlove. I also asked her how was she able to run her business if she was always online. She said that this was the only way for her to find a real man, that all her previous husbands were after her money. What a sad story. And the best part was that three other girls told me the same story! Fakes! Stay away from this terrible website!

ChnLove.com Fraud!

The two ladies I met on Chnlove website told me that they were coming to the USA soon. One was going to Chicago to see a friend. The one I was really interested in, wanted to meet me in real life and she was planning a trip to New York. Several weeks later they both changed their minds. After they told me about their plans I wasted tons of money on messages. They said that they were really sorry but still wanted me to write each day. A complete scam! Then I made a little research and found one of them on Facebook. She actually had a boyfriend and a different name. So these thieves actually stole some girl's photo and used it to create a fake profile on Chnlove! Terrible!

I agree with the majority of these comments. I was in China and went to two particular cities to meet a lady, and upon arrival I was informed that they had to go to another Province for an emergency or work. Before using this site I urge everyone to read the requirements to meet on a date for a lady. They have many requirements, then you must pay the agency the money, plush an interpreter, and of course the cost of the date. It is all about money and they do not care about western men, just their money. This site is a fraud.

ChnLove.com Complete Scam!

I found a nice girl on ChnLove and we become very close. But the whole thing was very expensive, so I told her I couldn't afford to keep writing so often and she agreed. The prices are really high! $10 to read a letter and another $10 to send a letter. I thought I found a loophole as she had a sister in my country. I asked her sisters phone number. She could not find it. Later she said she wanted to keep her sister out of it. That was strange, because we knew each other for months and I thought became very close. I made a little research and found her on Facebook! She was actually married and even had kids! I spend thousands of dollars on her! I was scammed and robbed!

ChnLove.com Date site

This site has taken over NZ$3, 000:00 for providing no service except online "chats" & emails thru' their site. Any attempt to make contact is thwarted by their translation security! Al the photo's, any thing sent or received cost's the client credits which he must buy first. Credits are very expensive. A call from the so- called online girl is charged to your credits! I made several complaints to them. I have their email replies. They claimed that after 10 "letters" I would be given contact details. Then told 90 days! Perhaps not all their girls are involved which gives them a very good facade of operating a legitimate date site. Constant offers of pornographic "chats" are sent to my inbox! These girls attempt to offer online camera sex! All being charged credits. When I refused they create delays etc all costing credits while you are online. They girls will cause delays when you are trying to stop chats! I thought the woman was genuine at first! She tried to go along with me but now I realize she was just part of the scam! I was joined onto three other date sites by Chnlove.com without my permission. Including LATAM.COM, ANASTASIA.COM & ASIANDATE.COM. When I opened an introductory email in my inbox it went to one of these three date sites. Also a Ukraine date site would pop up. To prevent their accessing further funds I blocked my cards ASAP. However on the first occasion on one of these sites they withdrew seven amounts of NZ$24:76! And smaller amounts of NZ$4.56! I was unaware until I left the site & checked my account! They have never informed me of their accessing my information via ChnLove.com! I can forward the emails as I am unable to upload them. If you provide me with an email address I will forward my emails sent as enquiries to ChnLove.com.
