Cherry Blossoms

Most of the problems are in the site itself. Features do not work and there are errors all the time. For example excluding women from certain countries doesn't work. They can still see and contact you. Under your picture is your status. It can say "online", "busy", "working", etc. Depends on what you choose as your status. However, when you choose "Busy" for example, you can still receive chat requests. You are supposed to be able to choose "invisible" and you won't show up as being online... nope... It just changes your status to "invisible." You are still visible, but your status says "invisible." There are quite a few scammers and "ladyboys"... aka pre-op trans genders. Some are almost impossible to tell apart from real women. However, I will say once you have reported one as a man trying to appear to be a female, the profile is quickly removed and the user banned. Cherry Blossoms is cheap compared to other sites, but you get what you get what you pay for... poor functionality and frustration. If you can put up with the crappy website, most of the women are legit. Just beware. If you want to try it, be sure to use PayPal for payment. It's easier to de-authorize payment on PayPal's site when you close your account. I've heard people who use credit cards are being billed for months after they have closed their account.
EDIT: I've been asked if this is a legit company. Yes. They are based in Hawaii USA and they have a business phone number that is available to members (even non paying members). Call them during regular business hours in Hawaii and they will answer.

Once upon a time this was a great international matching making website! But as fierce dating site competition has increased dramatically over the last decade, instead of bettering the site, Blossoms has reduced itself to being just another scammer infested website... and they're in on the game!

I saw one female profile, in particular, I wanted to write, so I took advantage of a CB discount coupon they were offering. The profile I wrote to quickly ended up being a scam. That was the first of many! Off to such a poor start, I thought I'd put my detective hat on and dig deeper into the situation. What I discovered was a lot of false profiles featuring overly attractive women, numerous repeat photos, and old stale members being rehashed as new, fresh members, making the site look bigger and more active than it really is, all to entice people like you and me to join and separate us from our hard-earned money.

Once you join, you will not be successful in getting any type of refund. I tried that with no success. They just offer to teach you how to navigate the site in order to avoid such scammers and find your true love. I replied, "It is not my job as a paying customer to sort through profiles trying to determine if they are real or scammers when your subscribing customers are paying you to do that job for them!" That comment fell on deaf ears to which they wished me good luck (with no refund of course)!

Next came the countless women bombarding my email box with professions of true love, all immediately trying to move me over to a private email address, to which they would quickly launch into every bleeding heart story, situation, and predicament you can possibly imagine with hopes of landing a sucker to squeeze money out of. My favorite was the woman whose goat herd had been stolen by bandits and needed money to replace them, otherwise, her family would starve. Classic!

I can go on for hours with reasons why to stay away from this site. Do yourself a huge favor and pass on joining Cherry Blossoms. Better yet, avoid all the subscription fees, K-1 visa fees, immigration legal fees, translations fees, dowry fees, citizenship fees, monthly drain on your pocketbook having to support all her aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, brothers, sisters, mother, father (and God knows who else), and instead work on finding a local woman already established in your home country. You'll save yourself a lot of time, headaches, and a boatload of money by doing so!
