Total fraud! Keep out!
Loveybible.com is a smaller chinese owned dating site operating on the 'pay per message' format. The girls are fake. The pictures of the pretty chinese girls are stolen, and mostly of actresses, models, etc. You are not in contact with these ladies, but some sleazebag who is making money, pretending to be that pretty lady, and getting some idiot to pay to send messages to her, and to have fake messages from her translated. Don't be stupid. Keep away from loveybible.com

Too many scammer profiles, keep out! Many of the male profiles appear to use stolen pictures that have been reported in use by West African scammers.
Learn to use Google image search, always expect to see a face on webcam, and never send money to somebody you only know from the internet, or phone calls.

Total fraud. Don't spend any time or money here. A majority of the profiles are fake. You'll constantly be bombarded with chat requests from fake ladies, and also emails from them. You cant chat or read the emails without paying fees. The messages and emails are written by staff or other people making money getting stupid MEN to pay fees on this site. Yes, MEN. (Women do not pay on this site!)

Keep away from charmingdate.com. It's owned by the same people as the equally fraudulent chnlove.com, and idateasia.com, and share the same member datatbase and fraudulent tactics.

Keep out!
Most of the letters you get from 'ladies' are written by people making money, getting men to pay for letters, not the girl!
Too much fraud goes on in these 'pay per message' sites, and most men do not get suspicious until after they have spent hundreds, or thousands of dollars.

You can find nice ladies online from Asia, but you need to do your homework, and not get the misconception you can 'buy' a lady, or throw money around and have miracles happen. You will lose money.

Do not use these 'pay per message' sites. Keep the age gap reasonable, and don't send money, or throw money around when/if you go visit the lady.

The real ladies who may be looking for a decent man, and interested in a man from your country will be know some of your language, is learning, or willing to learn, and will communicate with you directly.

See that face on cam! Talk on the phone.

We also have a problem with 'translator/brokers' in China, and sometimes Thailand, who act as agents for single ladies, may conduct all the communication on her behalf, and frequently are involved in some fraud or deception. You may never know you are talking to somebody other than the lady in the pictures, until you arrive to meet the lady, and she speaks no english.
(Or your language) You may also arrive to be met be a completely different lady, or no lady at all. Some of the 'brokers' will do anything to get a warm body to China, then do a 'bait and switch'. The broker will also expect payment if you decide to marry the lady.

This is not a simple 'mail order' bride fantasty. There are many scams, and situations of financial abuse. You need to do your homework, be careful, and learn to say 'NO'.

I see too many stolen pictures of models, actresses, and other celebrities being used on profiles, and many are obviously in use by West African scammers.

Please avoid this site!

You should always expect to see a face on webcam, and never send money.
The scammers who use stolen pictures will have many excuses to not use a cam.
Do not accept pictures as proof you are in contact with the person in those pictures.
Learn how to use 'google image search' to detect stolen pictures.

Keep away from safedatingsite.com! It has a laughable amount of fake profiles.

Nothing safe, here.

Disclaimer, I was formerly a moderator at this site,(4-5 years ago) and am a current member, but somewhat inactive. I have no direct interest in this site now, other than I support what they do.

Romancescam.com is the best place to look for help, and information on internet romancescams from the Former Soviet Union countries, and West Africa.

Regardless of where you you think your scammer may be from, most garden variety internet romance scammers frequently are from these two generic regions.

Experts who are not emotionally involved with your scammer can easily help you understand who, or what, you are actually in contact with!
That 'white' person is often a black male in West Africa. The sexy 'Russian' girl is usually a young Russian man, making money by tricking gulible men.

Most of the scams are very simple to figure out when you are not emotionally involved, and have just a little experience. Romancescam.com can help you!

This site posts misleading and inaccurate material, and appears to exist solely to generate income from promoting sites which pay them commissions.

  • iDateAsia

Many of the profiles on idateasia are fake. Please do not spend any money here!
Within the last few days, police in the Philippines raided an office that was producing fake profiles, and defrauding men via idateasia.com
The owner of this office is a Chinese national, and in custody. The workers in this office have given statements to the police that they create fake profiles, and communicate with men on this site, posing as the lady in the picture, while earning commissions from idateasia for 'sales'. The Philippines police is also investigating allegations of internet pornography, and prostitution via this office.
You can find the news articles on local papers in Cebu easily by google.
This is also how some of the 'agencies' that operate on idateasia, and chnlove operate from within China.

An office of one of the chnlove.com family 'agencies' was raided in the last few days in Cebu, Philippines.
The chinese national owner, and a pinoy manager are in custody.
Prosecution is pending for fraud, pornography, and prostitution due to activities from this 'agent' of a chnlove.com site.
If you really want to get scammed, use one of these 'pay per message' sites.
The few dollars you spend per message add up quickly, and some person in a poorer country is happy to make a living, getting stupid men to pay for messages from 'fake' ladies.
