My name is Brian. I have been a member of LatinamericanCupid for many years. I have also referred a lot of family and friends to this organization. However, within the last few years I have noticed there has been an influx of women joining this site trying to extort money from American men. There are a lot of women on this site that post fakes profiles and pictures. After being a member for many years, I have become very experienced at knowing the signs to look for and the questions to ask these women. I know recently experienced this situation from several women. One in particular, her name is Marcela. We started out communicated by corresponding several times by email. We then decided to exchange contact information. I noticed throughout our conversations she would mention how bad her situation was and how she was struggling financially due to the coronavirus. She then mentioned that she was behind on her rent and it needed to be paid by June 28th. She eventually got around to asking me to send her $400 to help pay her rent, which I did not do. I asked Marcela several times to facetime me on whatsapp so I could see her in personal just to make sure she really does exist. She would continue to give me every excuse imaginable. She kept telling me that her phone couldn't get a good internet reception so we could not facetime on whatsapp. However, she was always able to send me pictures and videos. I knew then she was fake. If you can send videos and pictures you can facetime on whatsapp. She told me if she had an upgraded phone we would be able to facetime on whatsapp. She asked me to buy her a phone that cost $600. I told her no way. Then she asked me to buy her a phone that was $400, and once again I told her no. Just a piece of advice to everyone, never send these women money unless you have actually been to there country, met them in person and spent time with them and established that you are in a relationship. Since I knew this lady was a scammer and trying to solicit money I reported her to LatinamericanCupid administration. I sent them the text message conversation showing that Marcela asked me for $400 to pay the rent and $600/$400 to buy her a phone. WOULD YOU BELIEVE THESE DUMB ASSES SENT ME AN EMAIL SAYING THAT I DIDN'T SEND THEM ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT REMOVING THIS LADY FROM THERE SITE. I SENT THEM THE ACTUAL TEXT MESSAGE SHOWING THE AMOUNTS SHE ASKED FOR. I was in disbelief when I received that email. This said, this let's me know that this organization promotes and supports these women that are posting fake profiles and pictures, in addition to these women trying to solicit and extort money from American men. I deleted my profile immediately. I tell continue to tell everyone not to join this site or any other site that are affiliated with LatinamericanCupid. My brother and several other friends have already deleted there profiles as well. If you're thinking about joining this site, save your money and don't waste your time. Brian B

To cut it short, don't go anywhere near these swindlers! They lost touch with reality. I am so...
