This site is full of scammers. Especially scammers from Nigeria, Kenya and ghana. But what I'm also finding out is there's a man for Nigeria that post profiles of beautiful women. He tries to lure you in and try to scam you. Everytime I go online I get at least 5 to 10 messages within a minute or two from women especially from Ghana that will immediately give out their Hangout WhatsApp and Skype ID's. These people are completely relentless they will sit there and wait for people to come online without reading your profile and they will send you a message immediately. Just ignore the messages. I'm not a bigot or racist whatsoever what I don't like are scammers that try to scam people of little or no means. You have to be very careful and who you correspond with on this site best thing to do if you do become interested is to Skype with the person and to make sure that they're real and you're not just watching her pre-recorded tape ask them either to stand up or wave. Once you're on this site for a while you'll know as soon as you open up a message whether it's a scam or not. If you get a message from the Ukraine with a picture of a beautiful woman you can rest assured that it's this Nigerian man hiding behind this profile waiting for you to stirred corresponding. Then they will exchange e-mails back and forth until they know they know they have you hooked which could go on for weeks or months and then all of a sudden you will get an email with some kind of sob story about either they got into an accident or their mother is really sick and they need you to send them money. All I can say is DON'T BITE! From a lot of people that I've talked to on the site a lot of people have bitten and lost a lot of money and once you wire the funds you will never hear from them again. Be very careful on this site. I'm not saying that everybody on here is a scammer there are some good people but take your time and recognize what's going on with the site. Most people give this site one star I gave it two Stars because not everyone on here is a scammer but there are a lot and you need to be very careful. Don't fall for the tricks of a scammer they're very good at what they do.

There is no doubt that this site has a wide selection of Asian ladies, most of which are genuine - once your learn to see through the most obvious fakes. Most, but not all, are from the Philippines.
However, be aware that this outfit may suspend or shut down even a paid account based solely on some automated flag. I have had at least three occasions where I have received some "light" or more extended suspension based on issues that appear to have been merely watchlist filter words such as "funds" or "transfer" or anything similar that has been taken out of context and not verified by a human being before confirmed.
The latest layer of complexity has come out of this site now requiring you to fill out a form based on some US legislation that isn't even new (IMBRA), where you have to have the correct answer or else not be eligible to be a member. After having filled out that form, I found my account suddenly suspended a few months later without any explanation. A long-distance call to Australia would not resolve or tell me what the issue was, but referred me to email them. After a long email exchange that took weeks to conclude, they said I had supposedly checked a box on the IMBRA form that I had a prior arrest or prison record (ridiculous, I have never had trouble with the law). Although it was eventually cleared up and my profile restored, it was annoying and time consuming to go through.
From other reviews, it looks like others have had a similar experience. There should be better customer support than that, especially considering that their subscription rates are not exactly cheap. I would recommend either just getting a short-term subscription to this site, or instead look for one of the very decent free alternatives that are out there.
You will get many responses, the majority agency initiated to keep you responding(spending.
Surely better sites and quality people, keep searching.

I was on this site for three months. Every single day my inbox would be flooded by messages from African men. From the messages it could be seen they never read my profile. All the messages shared WhatsApp numbers. The sad thing about this site, is that I've shown interest in men I like and messaged them, and not one of them have seen my messages. It tells me that either one, they're getting flooded by messages like I do, or two, they're not real.
Two days ago I decided to switch off my profile, but then went back. I got a message from a guy I liked. He's said to be white from the Netherlands. He claimed to be on vacation in Indonesia. The funny thing is that his profile was verified. We chatted all day and he shared his WhatsApp. Long story short, when he called me, I knew automatically he was African. He couldn't even show himself on video.
I think this site is manipulated by its staff to keep paying members on. How is it someone can genuinely send messages to others and not one is seen? How is it you're only flooded with messages from African men who don't read your profile? How is it that verified profiles turn out to be scammers? It shows they're not verifying properly.
I've read the so called testimonials and they seem made up. If they were serious about scammers they'll be listening to reviews, but they aren't. All you're forced to do is continue paying in hopes you make connections with someone, or use common sense and realize your time spent on there would be wasted as you get bombarded one hundred percent by only African accounts, which is annoying, since it's supposed to be an international site. It's like other nationalities don't exist, but they pay the price of being flooded by accounts wasting their time, and genuine accounts get their messages ignored.
My account not active? My profile remove? I pay for 3 months and only receive service for 4 days? Scam?

10 out of 10 people i had contact with turned out to be Scammers, i think there's more Scammers on this site, than real people
Every dating agency on the internet is scam.
There are no serious women profiles at any dating agency.
These women profiles are either scam or gold diggers.
If you want to find a good woman, you must travel to meet.
Personally, I have been at the dating agency for over ten years. I have written more than 5000 letters. I have met 100% scammers woman profiles from every dating agency.
I also traveled to Ukraine six times to meet, but all I met in Ukraine are gold diggers women. Ukraine is a corrupt country, so are women. I have met restaurant scam. Apartment scam, shopping scam, travel scam from these Ukraine women. I recommend keeping you away from Ukraine women.
These agencies do not check any profiles. It is you as a customer who must report scam. Personally, I have posted many fake profiles.
If you want to try these scam agency. Create a new email address that you use only for these scam agencies. If you pay premium, be sure to stop auto-renew immediately. Auto-renew is a way to scam you.
Never give your personal address or telephone number to women's profiles.
If a woman's profile asks for money, send her letter to the agency saying she is scamming you.
Never send money to anyone. Everything is just scam and lies.
If you travel to meet women in her country. Never give money if she asks. If a woman asks you for money, quit everything. A good woman will never ask for money, no matter how poor she is.
98% of all real women profiles at all dating agencies are poor.
All poor women are most concerned about getting money and financial support for themselves and their families.
If you marry a poor woman, she will never stop asking you for money for her family.
I know all about it because I have been married to an Asian woman for 13 years.
I recommend that you write in your profile which age group you are looking for.
Also write which country you do not want women from. Such as Ghana, Africa, Nigeria, Thailand, Philippines
Then you can see for yourself that nobody cares or reads your profile at all.
All of these woman profiles are only interested in money and financial support.
This is how women are today.
If you believe otherwise, you live in a fantasy world

Answer: Unfortunately, the answer is "No." When I joined International Cupid - and they stated they have other member sites - I thought I could use my subscription to go to Filipino Cupid. NOPE! I was required to sign-up again. That to me is just wrong.
