Hi, this is my experience of an Irish dating agency, where I have got a very poor quality service.
I am a 42 year old single male. I paid €300 to Amourarrow for 10 dates in January 2015. I met Asta who is based in Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo, and of Latvian descent. She was a very persuasive and convincing saleswoman.
Between Jan and August 2015 she gave me 8 phone no's. I met 2, but the others declined or stopped responding, or were totally unsuitable. I mentioned this to a friend, who told me that this was a scam. Asta would get other Eastern European women to go on 1 or 2 dates with Irish guys, and then cease contact.
I found that she did not answer or return my phone calls from Sept 15, for 3 months. When I did get to talk to her, she said I must ring during office hours. Yet our one and only meeting was on a Saturday morning.!
I have found online a Cork Lady who had a similar experience. She found that the same agency was arranging for her to meet gents in their 60's, and one who was married. Again, a very poor quality service.
Now I will never get my money back, but I at least want to highlight this issue, so that other Irish single people are less likely to be exploited.
Thanks Mark
