These folks kind of have their $#@! Together in terms of how they operate. Their marketing is quite sleek and their customer service is responsive and super polite. However, it's all part of the scam. Seriously, do not fall for this as I originally did. The women on the site are NOT real. You will receive chat requests that you have to pay by the minute when you respond to them and of course the women take ages to reply and when they do it's a pathetic little sentence. You will receive messages that you have to pay to read and reply to. You have to pay for everything... no flat subscription charge that a reputable company would charge. You will receive messages every minute from these women tempting you in. If that's not a big red flag to you then I don't know what. I bought credit, used a couple and then quickly realized what was going on.

I started a claim for a refund via PayPal. The company kept requesting that I drop the claim and eventually trying to tempt me with a refund outside of the PayPal system, which did not make sense unless they were going to continue to scam me... which of course was their intention. I refused their refund outside of the PayPal system and eventually won my money back through PayPal.

All the positive reviews about this site are part of the sleek(ish) operation of this company. When their agents aren't pretending to be women on their sites, they're pretending to be reviewers. PLEASE do not fall for this. I wish SiteJabber could look into this -- there is no way that these positive reviews are genuine and many folks are not going to dig deeper, past the initial overall rating. Well done idateasia/chnlove... you're really working on making your scam operation look genuine. I hope you sleep well at night, with the knowledge that not only are you are scamming people out of money but that you're also possibly ruining people's lives.

Seriously ignore the positive reviews for this site... they're as fake as the women on the site itself. I was an idiot and bought 96 dollars of credit -- it was the only way possible to read the messages I received. That should have been a red flag to me of course. I used about 3 or 4 credits before my senses came back. I created a stupid profile, with no photos and I kept getting mail and chat requests every minute. It's just really stupid.

I started a claim against them on PayPal. ChnLove responded to that (not via the PayPal system but using their own messaging system), telling me that I had used credits, could not get a refund and asked me to stop my PP claim. I refused to drop the claim. They sent me numerous emails telling me that they were just a portal for the agencies that provide the women, that they are strictly verified, blah blah blah. I told them that even if the women were genuine (which they certainly are not) that ChnLove's site is still set up in such a way in which it exploits its members out of as much cash as it possibly can. They refused to go along with this, insisting that they were doing no wrong and continued to insult my intelligence with very well crafted messages insisting that I should stay with the site. I persisted in telling them that I had no interest and that I believed that their site was fraudulent. The final straw was when they agreed to refund me but not through PayPal. They sent a form for me to fill in with my bank details, an agreement to keep it confidential and to drop the PayPal claim before they refund. Of course, I'm not stupid and declined... the way this business operates, it's likely that they would rescind their refund offer if I dropped the PayPal claim. It did not make any sense to me why they would circumvent the PayPal refund and do it in such a way as they offered. Eventually I got my money back via PayPal and ChnLove banned me from the site.

Now, check this photo out:

Does it look familiar to you? Yes, it's the original image that chnlove superimposed a Chinese woman's face on to.
