iDateAsia iDateAsia.com: A Scam Website Selling Personal Information

This website is a total scam, and I can say that from personal experience. I was just bored one day and decided to Google my real name, and to my shock, I found my name associated with iDateAsia.com. This happened back in June of 2014, and it's been two years since then. I had just graduated and was looking for a job in Cebu. My pastor's girlfriend was contacted by a Filipina girl for an interview as an encoder in a Photo Studio, and I decided to join her. They said they were looking for a lot of encoders, and we ended up going to a house. The Chinese girl who owned the place said they were still new and explained to us what the work was all about. We were supposed to reply to messages from men on the site, as the girls were too busy. I thought, "So this is how dating sites work." We were there to help the girls and guys, but before that, we had to know the nature of the work and we had to have our own account. They gave us a paper to fill out, which we did, but our minds were already wandering. I was a playful person, so when they asked us for a pictorial, I was game. They even asked me to wear a two-piece swimsuit, but I only tried it on in the dressing room. My friend and I decided not to work there, but days later, they called me to be an escort. I wondered why, but I didn't mind. They kept calling me until my mom called them back to stop bothering me. Now, two years later, I found out that I have an account that I never created. It's all bull$#*! from them. According to the news, they were raided this January, and I even recognized the Chinese girl, the wife of the owner, and the Filipina secretary who was there calling herself a call center agent. But why is it that my fake account was just refreshed this May? I was even out of the country that month. I asked my boyfriend to check, and yes, there I was in a fake account with a great Photoshop job. To look for a video, there is a payment. I can't believe they're selling me and taking advantage of me like this. I would never trust this site. At least my pictures are secured and not searchable, but my personal information is being sold.

iDateAsia iDateAsia Review: A Huge Scam, Stay Away and Put These Scammers Out of Business

I have to say, my experience with iDateAsia (idateasia.com) was not a good one. I would say that about 80% of the profiles on the site are scams, and only about 20% are real. Even the real profiles are not what they seem, as the girls look and act much different in person than they do on the website.

In fact, the agency behind iDateAsia goes so far as to impersonate the legitimate ladies on the site. I know this because I slept with a lady one night and the next day, I saw her online on the site. When I asked her what she was doing there, she said she was "looking for her soulmate." When I reminded her that we had slept together the night before, she acted like she didn't even know me. It was obvious that someone else was using her profile to scam people.

I complained to iDateAsia about this, but they just gave me the typical brush-off response. They claim to do everything in their power to stop scams, but I don't believe it. This happened to me several times, and I lost all confidence in the site. Even if you do find a real profile, the site and agency will do everything they can to block any contact information. They want to keep you paying for their expensive chat and letter services, even if it means cheating you out of a real relationship.

I believe that the local agency is in partnership with iDateAsia and Cupid Network to cheat us as much as possible. They even employ stand-ins for real ladies who don't use their profiles enough to correspond with paying customers. It's a huge scam, and I would not recommend investing any money in this site. You might get 5 or 10% value for the huge amount you pay, but it's not worth it.

My advice is to stay away from iDateAsia and put these scammers out of business. They don't deserve to take advantage of people who are looking for love.

iDateAsia iDateAsia Review: A Scam Site Designed to Keep You Spending Money on Credits

This site, iDateAsia, is a complete waste of time and money. You'll end up spending a lot of money and still not be able to figure out who to pursue. The site is designed to keep you spending money on the CRANE CLAW GAME. The more you try, the more you spend, and that's perfect for the site.

I've caught them lying about profiles several times, and they couldn't even dispute it. The worst part is that the girls, whether real or fake, are threatened if they leave the site to communicate with you on Facebook, Skype, or any other platform. They're afraid of losing their supposed security, which is like a prison sentence at the site. So, they won't communicate with you directly.

The truth is, girls are deathly afraid to meet anyone in real life, even though they say otherwise. This is even after you've spent thousands of dollars trying to make them feel comfortable with you. Letters are meaningless blabber, idle nonsense chat, and even video chat. I found that girls really only love the attention, and anything more would be giving of themselves. Trust me, they're not willing or ready to do this, even though they say otherwise.

If you don't believe me, pay for a date, and if she doesn't show up, it's too bad. It's nobody's fault. Try again and again.

The site extorts as much money as possible from guys, while girls don't pay. You'll discover that the most important thing is for men to feed their credit purchasing gluttony.

There probably are real girls, and there are definitely fake profiles, but you'll find that it's not about making relationships. It's only about getting you to spend money on credits. They even have a set limit of ten letters (ten from you, ten from the girl) before you can even request her direct email address. Then, as punishment for requesting it, you're charged again just to get it. It's a total rip-off.

For the one guy who found someone, there are a thousand guys who did not. The site loves this because they keep making money on the inventory of girls' profiles, whether real or fake, without losing anything. What a great business!

By the way, Asian Date, Amolatina, and other similar sites are essentially no different. The slight differences do not change anything. These businesses are gambling casinos using humans.

iDateAsia iDateAsia Review: Beware of Fake Profiles and High Prices

I recently joined iDateAsia (idateasia.com) and while there are some good and genuine members on the site, there are also many fake profiles. These profiles have trite and inane information, and their photo albums and videos are obviously manipulated by the agency. Even with the natural aging of Eastern women, many pictures are photo-shopped to look younger and more appealing.

Communication can also be a problem, with translation issues often being blamed on individual agencies rather than being taken responsibility for by the central Qpid or iDate subsidiary. Chat invites can also be misleading, with some being obvious sexual hooks to get paying members online. This can lead to costly delays in translation services, and there is no record of chat history available.

The gift shop prices are also very high, with many items costing around 300% more than they would locally in the West. Customer service responses can be patronizing and evasive, and call time charges are high at a minimum of US $4 to $6 per minute.

There are also extra charges for more than one picture with a message from a lady member, and there is no facility to review or proofread male member's profiles as they are posted and viewed by ladies at their agency. The FAQs are often vague and incomplete, and there is no real site use help or instructions.

Despite Qpid/iDate's assertion that it charges nothing to the ladies, they actually pay appreciable amounts to the agencies for albums and videos. Plus, the agencies charge at their local location. There is also no facility to contact agencies directly, and occasional sub-text messages from the agency on a lady's individual message cannot be replied to.

Overall, iDateAsia is a controlled and manipulated money-generating site with only a few genuine members. It's best to avoid the lady members whose profile photo album pictures feature the 'lean forward' shots of boob cleavage and the 'butt out' postures, as well as plush agency wardrobe clothes. These are obvious agency false or promoted members.

iDateAsia iDateAsia Review: Deceitful Practices and Scams - Avoid Like the Plague

I gotta say, I've had some real experience with iDateAsia (idateasia.com), and let me tell you, these positive reviews are a bunch of baloney. I mean, who are they trying to fool? The site itself probably wrote them! Don't get me wrong, there might be a couple of agencies that are honest, but they're few and far between. It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

I went to Vietnam and tried to meet up with some of the women I was talking to on the site. But guess what? Not a single one of them showed up. I stayed there for two and a half months, and every time I tried to reschedule, they had some lame excuse. It's like they didn't even want to meet me! I mean, come on, I'm a catch!

This kind of deception seems to be the norm on this site. It's getting so bad that I'm thinking of getting together with other guys who've been scammed and filing a class action lawsuit against the website and any agencies that use these deceitful practices.

Let me give you an example of one of the newer agencies that recently started up. They grew by over 900 profiles in just nine months! And the photos and videos they took of these women were so professional-looking. But get this: they claim they don't charge the women anything for this service. Yeah, right. I'm pretty sure their main goal is just to generate activity on the site, not actually help these women find husbands.

One of their employees even wrote to me on my personal email (how did they get that?) and told me that all the women on the site were part of a scam. At first, I didn't believe it, but now I'm starting to think they might be right.

I've spent thousands of dollars on this site over the years, and I regret every penny. I kept using it because in the earlier years, the scams weren't as widespread. But now, it's just ridiculous. I could write a whole book about all the negative experiences I've had on this site and its sister sites.

If you're thinking of using iDateAsia or any of its affiliates, my advice is to look elsewhere. You don't need to spend that kind of money to find love. Trust me, these sites are a waste of time and money. Avoid them like the plague!

iDateAsia Beware of Scam Dating Websites: A Review of idateasia.com and chnlove.com

This here review is all about them dating websites, like idateasia.com and chnlove.com. If you're curious about how these websites work, then listen up. They say they're based in China and that they use local dating services to find Chinese girls in different cities throughout China (or wherever the girl is from). They also say that they'll take your letter and give it to the local dating service that's connected to the girl you're writing to (but only after you pay in tokens to write the letter). Then, they say they'll translate your letter into Chinese (which costs extra and is paid by you in tokens) and give it to the girl you're writing to. Supposedly, her reply will be given to the same local dating service and translated into English (which, again, requires payment by you in tokens), before being sent to the dating website and placed in your inbox (which requires even more tokens to then read). They even give you the name of the "supposed" local dating service on their website to make it seem legit. But the problem is that these local dating services either don't exist or have nothing to do with the dating website. And the girls themselves? They don't exist either. In fact, nothing you see on these dating websites is real. The photos are all stolen from websites in China (or other countries) without the girls' permission, or from websites in China that just have photos of girls. These photos are then put on the dating website with a fake profile to lure in foreign men with money to spend. That's why they use the "token" system, where you have to buy packages of tokens and use a certain number of tokens to send a letter, more tokens to have your letter translated into Chinese, even more tokens to have her reply translated into English, and finally more tokens for you to read her reply. But there's no "her" and your letter is never translated. In fact, the replies that the girls supposedly write to you are just pulled from a database of letters that are used again and again as replies to different men. They might change a few things here and there, but the reply letters are mostly the same. Of course, most men don't keep writing to the same girl long enough to figure out that the whole website is a scam. The letters are general enough to work as a reply to many different letters from men, but not specific enough to keep a man interested for very long. That way, the man moves on to another girl, spending more tokens on an endless search for a woman that doesn't even exist. These websites are total scams and there are a lot of them out there. So how can you tell if it's a scam? First, if the website uses the "token" system and makes you buy packages of tokens (or whatever they call it), then you should run away as fast as you can. No legit dating website uses this kind of thing. The real services require a monthly subscription and don't offer translation services (unless it's a legit matchmaking service). Second, if you get a reply from a girl and it seems really "general" and doesn't mention anything specific from your letter, then you're probably on a scam dating website. Third, if you ask her for specifics about herself and she only gives you general answers about her life, then she's probably not real and your letter is just coming from a database of letters. Unfortunately, once you've been scammed, there's not much you can do. There's no way to report the scam to any agencies that will get your money back, since the website is in China and only the Chinese authorities can do anything about it (which is unlikely). All you can do is walk away, learn from your mistake, and warn others. Hopefully, you read this review before you spent your money on a scam dating website. Good luck with your search.

iDateAsia iDateAsia Review: A Massive Scam - Don't Waste Your Money!

Hey there, just wanted to share my experience with iDateAsia. Let me tell you, it's a massive scam. Don't even go near it with a 10-foot pole.

So, here's the deal. You have to buy credits to write and receive emails. And let me tell you, these credits go fast. Depending on how many credits you buy, the cost averages around $5 to $6 each. And if you send an email, that's one credit, which means $5 to send and receive. So, after 50 emails, you've already spent $500. And that's just for emails.

They also charge for chatting on the site. It's 0.5 credits ($2.50) per 5 minutes. So, if you chat for 30 minutes, that's $15. And if you want her details, like her email address, it's 10 credits, but only after 90 days and 10 emails.

The site is totally manipulated by them to make lots of money. And to make matters worse, I asked for a lady's information, and they gave me a fake email address. When I asked why she wasn't answering my emails, they responded with a fake email saying she doesn't use it often and prefers to communicate on the site. But when I asked for her phone number or Skype, they said it's only local, so she can't get international calls. It's obviously the site and not her.

And don't even get me started on the lady call me function. It costs a bloody arm and a leg. I timed one call, and it went for 12 minutes, which they charged $5.60 a minute. Another $67 down the drain.

I'm not even sure if the girl I was chatting with was real. Her English skills varied too much. And some of the women in the videos were wearing the same dress. It's a joke. And they charge 2 or 3 credits for that too.

If you want a site to go to, Thai kisses is fine. You pay a small fee each month, and you can get hundreds of contact numbers, emails, and Skype for as much as you want. They have chat, which is free if you're a member. And they have great security. They find out very fast and ban most of the women on there that are scamming.

I've been to Thailand at least 7 times, and I have family there as I married a Thai lady. She's awesome, and we split after being together for 6 years. But we're still close like family. That's why I want to find a Thai girlfriend again. They're awesome women, really loyal, kind, and understanding.

So, just be careful, guys. Don't spend a cent on these corporate money-grabbing sites who only have their eyes on your hard-earned cash. Listen to me from experience. I thought I was well-versed in these sites and have dealt with a couple and not lost a cent. But this one pulls you in, and you just can get sucked in really easily.

Good luck, and stay away from that site. It's evil! Lol.

iDateAsia iDateAsia Review: Beware of Scammers on this Asian Dating Site

Let me start by saying that I recently had an experience with iDateAsia (idateasia.com) that I feel compelled to share. I came across this site and was initially intrigued by the idea of meeting Asian women. However, after reading some of the reviews, I was hesitant to give it a try. That is until I came across a review by "Gregory L" that seemed to be a glowing endorsement of the site.

Now, I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical of Gregory's review. His grammar and sentence structure sounded a bit off to me, and I couldn't help but wonder if he was a middle-aged Chinese man pretending to be someone else. Plus, his review stood out like a sore thumb among all the negative reviews. But I decided to give the site a chance anyway.

Unfortunately, my experience with iDateAsia was not a positive one. I quickly realized that many of the positive reviews on the site were likely fake, and that the site was full of scammers looking to take advantage of unsuspecting men. I was disappointed to say the least.

One particular girl caught my attention, and I felt like I had picked her instead of the other way around. But after a few days of chatting, I started to notice some red flags. For one, she hesitated when I asked for her real name, and eventually told me it was Minh. But then she claimed to live in Ho Chi Minh City, which seemed a bit suspicious to me. I also noticed that she claimed to work as a bank cashier, but her hours didn't seem to match up with standard bank hours. And when I suggested we move our conversations off the site and onto email or Skype, she claimed not to know how to use those platforms.

At this point, I started to suspect that I was being scammed. I told her that I wouldn't continue talking to her on the site, and suggested we move our conversations elsewhere. She claimed she would email me the next day, but I never heard from her again. It was a disappointing experience, and I felt like I had wasted my time and money.

Overall, I would not recommend iDateAsia to anyone looking to meet Asian women. The site is full of scammers, and it's difficult to tell who is genuine and who is not. If you're looking to meet someone online, I would suggest trying a more reputable site with better security measures in place. Don't make the same mistake I did.

iDateAsia iDateAsia Review: Deceptive Practices and Fake Profiles - Beware!

iDateAsia is a site that I would recommend you stay away from. I read some mixed reviews about the site before I joined, but I decided to give it a try anyway. I met a woman on the site and sent her a free cupid note. She replied immediately and we started chatting. I spent about $21.00 US dollars on the chat, which lasted no longer than 15 minutes. During the conversation, she kept sending me "I Love You" and "Kissy Kissy" icons. At the end of the chat, I told her I would write to her and she agreed to wait for my letter.

While waiting for her letter, I explored another website where you pay a monthly fee to purchase either a Gold or Platinum membership. I purchased a Gold membership for one month for $29.95. With this membership, I could send as many letters as I wanted, respond to as many as I wanted, and use the chat feature. While looking at profiles on this site, I noticed the same woman's profile that I had been chatting with on iDateAsia. I contacted her and she responded. I asked her if she had been on any other site and she told me she had been on iDateAsia.com recently but had given notice to the agency that she did not wish to use their services anymore since after careful consideration she thought the fee they were charging her to use their services was too expensive. I told her I just spoke to her on iDateAsia and she said it could not have been her. I told her I am looking at her profile now on iDateAsia. She replied back in surprise as WHAT?

We exchanged SKYPE information and once we each activated SKYPE and our cam, there she was. We introduced ourselves and I panned my CAM to my monitor to show her the profile on iDateAsia and the photos. She said, yes, that was her and it was her photos, but she had told the agency to delete her profile since she would not be using their services because of the payment she could not afford and would look on her own which is why she was on the site that I found her on.

We both decided that I would send this person pretending to be her a letter which I did. Now I asked this liar whomever it was had she ever been on another site and the response I received was "No, she only been on iDateAsia". I knew this person was lying since I contacted the real person on a website called thailovelinks.com

To make a long story short, this agency on iDateAsia is still using a profile of a woman that has left the site. Whomever I was writing and talking to is pretending to be this woman because I am met the real woman on thailovelinks.com, we exchanged e-mails, phone numbers and SKYPE and she has since sent me several photos.

So guys, whomever I am speaking to on iDateAsia, it is not the woman I saw on the profile; so take my advice; be cautious. I am not saying that every agency is corrupt and every profile is fake, but you cannot take a chance since you are spending your hard earned money.

Well, getting back to iDateAsia.com, after this experience of talking to this fake person, spending money on letters and a chat, I wrote my full story to the administrator, giving them the profile ID number of the woman I contacted on iDateAsia and letting them know I contacted the real woman on another site. I let the administrator know that I know this is the real woman because we had a video chat, exchanged phone numbers and e-mail contacts and that she admitted it was her profile but the agency on iDateAsia had no right to keep it up and deceive men as if she was still there and add insult to injury, to have the nerve to have someone pretending to be her in an effort to keep men spending their money.

Basically, I have been speaking to three different women, but now because of this, if these other women were real, I sent them all letters explaining why I could not continue speaking to them. I included in my letter they may be real and the agencies may be honest, but unfortunately I cannot take that chance and it is sad because this type of deception and fraud makes it bad for the honest people so I just left it at that.

So guys, if you are speaking to someone, even on the chat line, beware because chances are it could be the woman and chances are it could not be. These type of experiences show me that you cannot trust a profile or pictures, even with an agency who happens to be overseas. You need further proof and having a video chat is the only way to go but if these sites give you that option, believe me, you will pay an arm and a leg for it.

Okay, I gave you my birds eye, hard evidence of iDateAsia being deceptive and that was all the evidence I needed to say "stay away". There are other sites out there guys and as I said, for a small monthly fee, you can write to as many women as you choose, they can write you, you can respond, there is a chat line and look at me; I was able to see the woman in SKYPE on my first initial message.

Good luck and just beware!

iDateAsia Qpid Review: Beware of Commission Takers and Disappearing Acts

I recently came across an advertisement from Qpid on the internet, which caught my attention. The advertisement was targeted towards women, promising them generous commissions for getting their "gentlemen clients" to write back and forth to them. However, not all women on the four sites do that, and many of them carry on that way, with certain guys. So, if a Ukrainian woman 23 years of age, or anything close to it, writes something sweet to a guy 64 years of age, for instance, it is likely that she is getting a commission if you read her letter, or write back or chat with her, and she gets a commission for other things such as gifts and pictures looked at. So, beware, that is the truth. I don't have the web-page URL, but I found it twice.

However, I have also come across some ethical women on these sites who are genuine in their approach towards men. There are some younger women, like 18 or older, who do want to have sexual experiences, but they probably are commission takers too. Some maybe not, but there is no way to tell.

Another thing to keep in mind is that there are numerous lesbians on these sites, but often they do not know it themselves. It can be tough to determine that fact. But, if you do write or chat in a sexy way, they may reply similarly, but over time "when they have you hooked" they will probably reply to your letters via short replies. She might be very nice looking, but as part of her behavior, she might be disinhibited and antisocial. The last term means that she can break social mores, customs, and can lie without remorse.

I have learned from my experiences that it is not advisable to go to a foreign country to see a woman unless I "want to travel there as a tourist and unless I can easily afford it. Why, many, maybe most, women are lookers. They "may" have a feeling that they "might" have chemistry with you. You might get one date and if they don't have that "woman's chemistry" they won't answer any e-mails and there you are in Nikolaev, or some other place, twiddling your thumbs. There are those who will meet you, have you give them a good time, restaurants, beach, movies, soccer games, and then disappear. They probably don't have enough money to do those things by themselves, so they get a treat and then disappear after a few days. The "big disappearing act" is common.

I have traveled to many countries over the last 10 years: 25 or so. As I say, communicating and meeting a foreign woman is secondary to me because I know the system is so dicey. I traveled to China to meet a lady in Shenzhen. She didn't show up at the hotel we made plans for. She wouldn't answer her e-mails. She might have been married and/or, had a child and was just making Qpid money via encouraging letters back and forth. But, I had a great vacation for five weeks in China and ten days in Vietnam. So, no harm done.

If a person has a long-term letter-writing and chat relationship, tons of money could be wasted with the gals who do the disappearing act. So, short connections are best.

I traveled to nine countries in S. E. Europe, and during the trip, I traveled to Crimea on a Russian Federation visa. The lady looked just like her pictures, dressed very nice, seemed friendly, but even though she listed that she spoke English, she said she wanted an interpreter. So, four dates, four interpreters, and they were "very expensive". I bought lunches, dinners, tickets to the porpoise show, for all three of us. I wanted to move to a hotel closer to where she lived, and she suggested one. I arrived, the contract was shown to me, it was written in Russian. I looked at the bottom line, and the price was there for five days: $365.00. Well, that was high for there, but it was a sea shore hotel. But, after a day and one-half, I found out that it was $365.00/night. Well, I left at 5:00 AM. and left a check for $120.00 for two nights. I am sure that was a set-up wherein the lady was going to get a good kick-back. Also, it takes a while to get used to value dealing with foreign currency, especially when a person is transiting different countries close together. But, four dates, but not a kiss or a holding of hands: interpreters act as chaperones! Well, my visa was over, and I left and contacted her when I got to Odessa. She said she didn't have "chemistry" with me. Then, later she wanted to re-establish the relationship. But, that was a ploy to get more kick-back money. Thinking about the elements: the lack of ethics, the lack of any affection, the rather short notes she wrote during the last few weeks, the fact that she was a very pretty lady and was divorced. Well, such women just don't have the capability to act in a naturally affectionate way. Usually, they do not know they are lesbians. Homosexuality is a variable syndrome, too.

I had never been to South America, so, I decided to travel to Colombia. Then, I went online and met a nice lady on latumdate. She was 35. She had a sympathy story: She had had a child with her boyfriend. Her parents were wealthy, with many businesses. The father didn't like her live-in boyfriend and convinced her to give her child up to the late boyfriend's parents, who wanted to rear it because their only child died. The father recently died of a heart attack, a year later the mother died of heartbreak, but later it was cancer. Those adverse episodes were not told to me close together, so it wasn't so obvious that she was using sympathy to get me to write back and forth. After about six weeks, I left for Colombia; I had had the ticket for three months. When I got to LA from Seattle, she wrote that she was sick and for me to delay my trip. I had a non-refundable trip, and I wanted to go to Colombia anyway. I flew to Miami and got a message that her doctor was sending her to a hospital in the USA... somewhere. I flew to Medellin and got a hotel, a nice one w/ breakfast for about $27.00/night in the nice area of the city. I liked Medellin. She had told me she inherited a chain of beauty shops and fitness centers. I bugged her to tell me the name of the shops. She sent me a picture of one. By chance, I found it when I wasn't looking for it, and the people working in it had never heard her name. Eventually, she wrote that she was in Massachusetts general hospital for some lung ailment. Everything was vague. Well, that was enough for me. As soon as I got the message that she wanted me to delay the trip, I knew she was a hoax. That is a modification of the "disappearing act." What is the bottom line: making money on Qpid, probably. I stayed in Colombia for two months and rode buses from coast to coast. I really liked the country in many ways. Cartagena, Medellin, El Jardine are nice places and others too. Lots of expats I met there.

I'll say this, NEVER be so enthused that you lose judgment. Loneliness and horniness can make a guy lose his judgment. Some of the comments about "oh, the woman is so friendly on this or that site... are nuts. There are probably 35% honest women, often older women who dress normally, 50% who are making money and "may" be honest with a certain type of guy, 15% young women: 18-24 +/- who mainly want to sex-talk... and they could be making money, too.

The basic thing to think about is that a man cannot "authenticate one thing" about a woman, so "beware" and don't fall on your [censored] in love on the internet. Second, never travel to a country unless you want to go there anyway... and you can afford it. The Qpid system is based in Hong Kong. The charges clear through a Macau Bank. Macau is 'the": gambling center of China. There is no better way than to make money "gambling on love."

I have spent some money dealing with these sites, but I can afford it. Better than the $830,000.00 that my last USA wife cost me.

iDateAsia Dating Ducks: My Experience with iDateAsia

about ducks.

So, I decided to give iDateAsia a try. The website is easy to navigate and the registration process was a breeze. I was surprised to see that there were so many women on the site, all looking for love. I started receiving introductory letters from several women, which was quite flattering. However, I noticed that most of these letters were quite similar, with the women complimenting me on my smile or my eyes. The strange thing was that I had not uploaded any photos of myself, so how could they know what I looked like?

I decided to contact iDateAsia to ask them about this. They assured me that the letters were indeed from the women on the site, but sometimes they got carried away and forgot that they had not seen my photo. I found this hard to believe, especially when I looked at the photos of the women on the site. They all looked like models, with perfect hair, makeup, and clothing. It was clear that these were not your average women looking for love.

Despite my reservations, I continued to use the site and started chatting with a few women. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they were all very friendly and seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me. We exchanged messages and even had a few video chats. I was impressed with the quality of the video chat, which was clear and had no lag.

Overall, I had a positive experience with iDateAsia. However, I would caution anyone using the site to be careful. While there are certainly genuine women on the site, there are also those who may not be who they claim to be. It's important to take things slow and get to know someone before committing to anything. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

iDateAsia Why You Shouldn't Use Qpid Sites to Find an Asian Partner: A Warning from Experience

Listen up, folks! If you're thinking about using Qpid sites like I Date Asia or China Love to find your future partner, you might want to reconsider. Trust me, it's much cheaper to take a trip to Asia and have a good time. Plus, you'll have a better chance of finding a lady who meets your standards.

If you're already spending $70 or more on these sites, you're being taken for a ride. And don't even get me started on those unsolicited EMF letters that just drain your wallet even further. Seriously, have you caught on yet?

The truth is, you don't even know if the person you're talking to is real. That picture could be fake, and you could be communicating with a man, a ladyboy, or even someone's grandmother. It's a risky game to play.

I had a bad experience with Chinalove when I arranged to meet a "lady" in Schenzhen, but she never showed up. Luckily, I had a backup plan and was able to enjoy some of the beautiful sights of China. But don't think that Thai or Vietnamese respondents are any different. You'll get the same generic responses with hardly any variation.

My advice to you is this: if you're interested in Asian ladies (and let's be real, they put many western women to shame), go there yourself and meet someone in person. Always have a backup plan, and don't waste your money on these unreliable sites.

iDateAsia iDateAsia.com Review: A Fantasy Site Designed to Drain Your Wallet

This website, idateasia.com, is a place where you can spend your hard-earned money to indulge in your wildest fantasies. However, it's important to note that this site is not designed to help you connect with a real person. Instead, it's all about creating a fantasy about the person you wish you could have, but will never actually meet if you use this site.

The letters you receive on idateasia.com are not written by the beautiful person in the photos. Instead, they are written by one of many "translators" who do all of the letter writing. The person you think is writing to you never actually gets your letters, and they get paid for allowing idateasia.com to use their photos. Why do they go to all this trouble? It's all about the money. They lure you in with a variety of methods, and each and every letter costs you. The more you write, the more you spend. The most expensive (and the most recommended by idateasia.com) is the "love call" feature of the site, where you get to talk to your fantasy. However, it's strange that the voice of this person changes over time, almost like several different people are pretending to be your fantasy. This "love call" costs $7 per minute, and the minutes go by quickly because your fantasy keeps asking you questions that last until your "credits" run out. It's easy to spend $50 or more this way.

And, when you finally make a real commitment to meet your fantasy person, they disappear! What a scam. Only use this site if you have a rich uncle who hates you and wants to break your heart. There are better, more realistic ways to meet potential lovers. It's best to use those instead.

iDateAsia Navigating the World of Online Dating: My Experience with iDateAsia and Other Sites

I gotta say, I was pretty grateful for all the honest reviews I read before I decided to give iDateAsia a try. I mean, I work hard for my money, and I don't want to just throw it away on some big corporation's money-making scheme. So, I took the advice of some of the reviewers and checked out Match and OKcupid.com instead. And let me tell you, I'm glad I did.

First off, with those sites, you only pay a flat monthly rate and you can communicate and search for all the Asian women you want, all over the world. No hidden fees or anything like that. Plus, when I read the terms and conditions for iDateAsia, I could smell the fraudulence from a mile away. I mean, I can see how a guy could easily spend hundreds of dollars in just a month or two on that site.

But here's the thing, guys. If you can't communicate with the women visually, like through Skype or something, then chances are they're not even real. They're probably just some guy in Africa or something, trying to scam you out of your hard-earned cash.

Now, I'm not saying that all online dating sites are bad. In fact, I had the best experience of my life with a woman from Singapore that I met on Match. She spoke fluent English and Chinese, and we had a blast spending five days together in Beijing. Sure, she was a bit heavier than her pictures, and she nagged a bit like all American women do, but I might have even married her if things had worked out differently.

But instead of spending five more days with her in Singapore, I decided to make a side trip to Vietnam to meet another woman I had been chatting with on Match. And let me tell you, she was hotter than a $2 pistol. Not exactly marriage material, but the trip was well worth it. And the best part? She was the real deal. Not some phony stand-in like I had read about on iDateAsia.

So, the moral of the story is this: do your research before you sign up for any online dating site. And always follow rule #1: if you can't communicate with them visually, they're probably not even real. And hey, watch out for scammers on every site, no matter what. But if you're smart about it, you just might find the woman of your dreams.

iDateAsia Idateasia.com Review: A Warning About Scammers and False Profiles

I'm just an average guy in my early 40s and I decided to give idateasia.com a try just for fun. At first, I created a serious profile with good pictures and intentions. Within the first three days, I received around 800 messages from four different sites: Latam date, charmdate, asiandate, and chinesedate. Out of those messages, I would say around 200 were from really good-looking women. I mean, they looked like models!

That's when the warning signs started to tick in my head. I only paid around 7 bucks, but then they tried to get me into false chat and emails and cams that were really expensive. Fortunately, I'm an experienced guy and I know how to think for myself, so I never paid more than that 7 bucks. But the worst part is this:

I changed my profile and searched for the ugliest person on Google. I put that picture on my profile and wrote that my weight was over 300 pounds, I was 150 cm tall, had a 3 cm $#*!, and was a heavily drinking and drug-addicted homeless person with no money. Hahaha, lol!

Guess what? The same beautiful ladies sent me the same messages and told me how nice my pictures and profile were. I laughed so hard that I almost peed in my pants. This is so stupid and pathetic. How can anyone get fooled by these scammers? At least they should prevent me from changing my profile and have the same paid models there. It's just crazy. Someone needs to stop this kind of behavior. It's hard, but Interpol should stop things like this. How can people be so stupid? I've heard of people putting thousands of dollars there. I'm amazed. Of course, they're lonely and hoping that these extremely beautiful ladies want them. Shame on the people behind this. It's the biggest scam ever.

Forward this to anyone you know. Regards, Lars.

iDateAsia My Wild Experience with iDateAsia: A Love Story or a Scam?

So, I gotta say, I had a pretty wild experience with iDateAsia. I mean, I actually met someone on the site, which was pretty cool. She was from Cebu and we started writing back and forth. I gotta admit, those letters were pretty pricey - $6 each way. But we really hit it off and started chatting often. The chats were $6 for 10 minutes, which added up pretty quick. I spent hundreds, but I was really feeling this girl.

She even told me she loved me through the letters, which was pretty intense. So, I decided to take the plunge and told her I was coming to visit. I gave her the flight information and everything. When I got to the airport, she was there waiting for me. We spent a whole week together and it was amazing.

But here's where things get a little weird. After I got back home, I found out that she had a friend who worked at the agency in Cebu. And apparently, this friend had told her that I was coming. I was a little confused, because my girl had acted like she had no idea what I was talking about when I told her I was coming.

So, I started talking to the friend and she spilled the beans. Apparently, the agency in China sends intro letters pretending to be the women on the site. They even write all the letters and do all the chats as the women. And then, when the men finally say they want to meet, the agency forwards the flight information to Cebu and the worker there calls the woman. She's shown a few of the letters, but she still agrees to meet.

But get this - the women who sign up at the agency have no idea why no one is writing to them. And the agency won't tell them why. So, both the men and women are trying to meet, but China is pretending to be the women and the women don't even know it.

If my girl didn't have a friend at the office, we would have never met. And apparently, every intro letter received is from China using the profile of a woman who actually wants to meet a man. And every chat popup is China pretending to be the woman. It's pretty crazy.

Oh, and one more thing - the women can't get their profiles off the site. Ever. And the agency keeps using them to send letters. So, yeah. That's my experience with iDateAsia. It was wild, but I'm glad I met my girl.

iDateAsia Finding Love on Idateasia: A Review of the Dating Website

Idateasia is a dating website that has been around for quite some time now. It is a platform that connects people from different parts of the world who are looking for love and companionship. The website is easy to navigate, and the registration process is straightforward.

One thing that stands out about idateasia is the number of scammers on the platform. As a bi-sexual person, I have received numerous messages from ladies who have not read my profile. This makes me wonder if they are scammers or just not paying attention. I always make it clear in my profile that I am only interested in bi-sexual ladies, but it seems like some people just don't care.

Despite the scammers, I have had some positive experiences on idateasia. I have come across some amazing people who have left a deep impression on me. One lady, in particular, caught my attention. Her profile spoke of a woman who could be my dream lady. I was so impressed that I couldn't take my eyes off her profile.

After looking through her profile several times, I finally decided to write to her. I was on the website for a long time, and I had read millions of profiles, but it was her who made me find a sense of belonging. I introduced myself and hoped that we could communicate and get to know each other.

To my surprise, she responded, and we started talking. We have been communicating for some time now, and I must say that I am happy I met her on idateasia. She is everything I have been looking for in a partner, and I am grateful for the platform that brought us together.

In conclusion, idateasia is a great platform for people who are looking for love and companionship. However, one needs to be careful of scammers who are always on the prowl. It is also essential to read people's profiles carefully before sending them a message. Overall, I would recommend idateasia to anyone who is looking for love.

iDateAsia Beware of idateasia.com and chnlove.com - Total Scam!

This site is a total scam! I had been chatting with a girl from Saigon on idateasia.com and a few others on chnlove.com last year. These sites are all run by the same group of scammers, so don't even bother.

The girl from idateasia.com told me she had never had a boyfriend and still lived with her parents. She would even write to me before I had a chance to reply, so I asked her to wait for my response. But a few weeks before I was supposed to meet her, she started talking dirty to me! It was like a completely different person, probably another translator. It all makes sense now - they were getting paid for every message and minute of chat. And when I say "she," I mean some translator pretending to be the girl.

The girls on chnlove.com were all fake too. When I finally got to Saigon, the girl I was supposed to meet made up an excuse not to see me. So I tried contacting three more girls while I was there, but none of them showed up even though I gave them my hotel room number, phone number, and email. They only wanted to communicate through the site.

I didn't block them just to see what would happen, and they're still sending me messages. But I haven't read any of them because I know they won't get paid if I don't. Why would I want to read anything from these scammers? They had the chance to meet me in person, but they didn't.

It's easy to get fooled by these beautiful women, but trust me, it's a huge scam. These criminals are stealing millions from hardworking guys like us, and they need to be caught. I just want to warn others so they don't fall for the same trap. Don't believe me? Try meeting one of these girls in person and see how it goes. But don't use the site - they're watching and reading these reviews.

iDateAsia Scam Alert: Beware of this Website's Fake Women and Pay-Per-Minute Scheme

These guys seem to have their act together when it comes to running their website. Their marketing is pretty slick and their customer service is always polite and quick to respond. However, don't be fooled like I was - it's all part of the scam. The women on the site are not real, and you'll soon find yourself paying for every little thing. There's no flat subscription charge like a reputable company would have, and you'll be bombarded with messages from these fake women every minute.

If you're not careful, you'll end up paying by the minute just to respond to chat requests, and the women take forever to reply with a pathetic little sentence. You'll also receive messages that you have to pay to read and reply to. It's all a big red flag, and I wish I had realized it sooner.

I did buy some credits and used a couple, but it didn't take long for me to figure out what was going on. I started a claim for a refund through PayPal, and that's when things got really shady. The company kept trying to get me to drop the claim, and even offered me a refund outside of the PayPal system. That made no sense to me, and I knew they were just trying to scam me even more. I refused their offer and eventually won my money back through PayPal.

I've seen some positive reviews of this site, but I'm convinced they're all part of the company's scam operation. They're probably written by the same people who pretend to be women on the site. It's really sad that they're trying to make their scam operation look genuine, and I hope people will be smart enough to see through it. Don't fall for their tricks, and don't let them ruin your life.

iDateAsia iDateAsia Review: A Complete Rip-Off and Scam - Stay Away!

This site, iDateAsia, is a complete rip-off! I highly recommend that you stay away from it. They charge an arm and a leg for their services and don't even allow you to contact the girls directly without paying more money. It's a total scam!

The girls on this site will tell you that they signed a contract that prohibits them from being contacted outside of the agency. One girl even claimed that iDateAsia would get her fired from her job if she corresponded with me outside of the site directly! It's ridiculous!

The agency will block any attempt to send direct contact information, so you're stuck using their expensive services. And if you click on a girl's picture that's requesting to chat, you'll find that many of the girls aren't even online! It's a complete waste of time and money.

I've also noticed that any profile that hasn't been refreshed in 3 months is probably fake. And if they have an age limit of 18-70, they're probably fake too! It's just another way for them to scam you out of your money.

The positive reviews on this site are very vague and short, which is a red flag in itself. And I usually get 8-10 admirer letters per day, but 99.9% of them get deleted because they're either copy and paste letters (I've gotten as many as four of the exact same letter from the same girl), or the girl is young enough to be my daughter! It's disgusting.

I even changed my profile to read, "PLEASE read my entire profile! I get dozens of 'copy and paste' letters a day that I'd like to know from serious members and not just players or scammers. I delete 99.9% because they are fake. A word of advice, respond to the profile directly if you're real and want a responsible husband. I am an alcoholic and I have been convicted of spousal abuse and 2nd degree murder. I want to see who is real?" And yet, I still get 8-10 letters a day! It's unbelievable.

It's also amazing how many of the girls on this site were cheated on by their exes and had to cheat with someone else. Other women? Who knows. And if you ask them to send a photo of themselves with a paper showing your name printed on it, they won't do it. They'll make up some excuse about agency rules. It's a total scam and a money pit for you.

Don't just take my word for it, try it out for yourself. But I guarantee that you'll regret it. This site is totally devoted to separating you from your money. It is a total, total scam!
