Wow, I wish I had researched AFA before I spent $$$ with them. Almost every negative comment in these reviews that I have read brings me to say "yes-- that happened to me too". Sorry to sound vain, but I have always been considered a handsome man, well educated, have a good job, and am financially secure. With a broken heart after decades with the same spouse, naive, and somewhat shy the AFA site provided a wonderful boost of self-confidence for me. I truly believed all these young beautiful girls were interested in me and were writing me these flirty letters. So after funding my letter writing in $100 increments to only those who supposedly wrote me first I was on my way to finding that special someone.

What I thought was a tender connection with one lady seemed especially promising. So I wrote to her that I was coming on a tour. After 6 months of sending and receiving her letters, it stopped immediately. Like others have shared, some other irregularities with pictures sent that were already on her profile site, and not answering my questions, etc. should have raised... (Read the full review)

I was and am looking for Chinese ladies, so I picked up LoveMe. I picked them because they are an American company, and I know that other marriage agencies, especially the Russians are terrible, filled with cheating. So I started corresponding with a Chinese lady from Chongqing. She immediately suggested to me to come visit her, and in two letters she right away was talking about marrying me. So I decided to buy her virtual e-mail, but despite of this she did not reply to my personal e-mail that was reported to her, she sent her next reply to LoveMe (buy it for another $9.99). But then I found her on ChineseLoveLinks as well, and since I have there unlimited message numbers for several months, I sent her a letter from there, too. No reply, since then she did not open her mail box at ChineseLoveLinks (which is, by the way an honest and respectable agency, at least in my opinion). So, I think, the situation is clear. I am not sure that this lady exists at all, all this might have been the action of a translator.

A similar situation at ChnLove Date. You need to know, there you are... (Read the full review)

Letters you receive back are NOT genuine replies.

What is supposed to happen is the "translator" reads out your letter over the phone and the lady then replies back and then the "translator" creates a letter.

But the "translator" isn't actually translating what the lady has said. The "translator" will say things that the lady has never actually said just to pad out the letter with lots of "added extras".

So this isn't genuine correspondence with the lady at all. You're basically paying $9.99 (sometimes more) per letter to correspond with the "translator", not the lady.

In addition, many times you are forced to pay for attached photos if you wish to open a letter. There is no option NOT to pay for a photo.

I spent a lot of money over a 3 month period on the "letter" translation service until I realised what was going on. I always had my suspicions but I kept on writing hoping that I really was communicating with the woman.

I contacted the president of AFA John Adams as customer support ignored all my concerns and managed to receive a full refund, which was good, but I can't replace all the wasted time.

In his... (Read the full review)

I used AFA and found it to be good! However, you have to stay with it, and learn the system. Plan to go on a tour or two, don't bother writing ahead, it really does not help much. But, BE REALISTIC and view many profiles, pick a large number of women you want to meet, notify the office in your destimation city a week in advance. They will have dates for you! Most of the women are nearly as they present themselves on the profile.

But, you must be realistic, 19 year old girls do not want to meet 73 year old men! Some age difference is normal, and expected (my fiancee is almost 20 years younger than I, 57/38) but too much is too much! However, be aware that a few of the women on the site are just looking for a date, a dinner out, someone to buy them a few small things...so keep your eyes open. I traveled a total of 6 times (solo each, I am not cut out for the mob scene of a social) and learned a lot about myself, and a lot about women, about other... (Read the full review)

Here's my review of AFA / loveme.com broken down by category of service in the Philippines:

Letter writing service:
in a nutshell it's a total and complete waste of time and money. The letter writing service appears, based on my experience and that of others I know that have also used the service, to be too expensive, rife with fraudulent letters from both the affiliate offices and scam artists. My advice is, if you feel you must write, only write to women you are interested in 2 weeks before you plan to actually go and see them. Tell them of your imminent arrival, your desire to meet them when you do arrive and let it go at that.
I would not recommend this service to a friend.

The Social:
Depending on your personality ( you are highly social and gregarious ) you may like this better than I did because I am somewhat shy and retiring. Out of the 170 women that attended the social approximately half were attractive to me. So now we're down to 85 women. With 25 men in attendance that's a little better than a 3 woman to 1 man ratio not the 10 to 1 ratio advertised.... (Read the full review)

I found out about AFA after watching "This American Life" featured by Lucy Liu on the Oprah Network. I felt that it was legitimate and i immediately signed up.

I must say the website can use some work when it comes to buying items like Phone translation time and free time earned as a result of sending flowers, etc.

Also it seems that there some inconsistency when it comes to costs outside of the website. For example i was not charged to get my wife's phone number whereas her sister's fiance was charged a large sum to get her phone number.

But the fact of the matter is that it is not a scam. You must get up off your butt and go visit the woman. I had plenty of reservation about the site and service, but did find out that all of the women were real and actual. Most of the women i corresponded with were eager to get married. I mean come on, lets be realistic, they do want to leave where they are, but THE ARE VERY GRATEFUL and will treat you like a king. I was not necessarily looking to be treated...

I spent about $100 writing a girl from Colombia on their site. She wrote me back but never answered my questions and never gave any specific information about herself. I purchased her email address ($12) and sent 3 messages but never got a reply. I then sent another message through their service and received a response with another email address and the message "Let's keep communicating!". All of her messages were written in English. I sent two messages to that address with no reply from her. The only responses I received were through their service.

In my opinion, this is a scam, It costs 6-9 dollars per message through their site. I think this is one way they make $. I doubt the girl in the photo ever saw my messages.

Also, if you select a woman who is not on the new members list you will not know how long she has been on the site. I have seen the same profiles for many years. You must select a woman from the newest members list on the bottom of the front page. (Even then you do not know where the photo and profile came from!) It is very easy to find...

I have been on and off A Foreign Affair (AFA) and its affiliate Foreign Ladies (FL)since 2009. I know for sure that I have actually talked to ladies because after I decided I no longer wanted to talk with them they got angry and deleted their profile (one site or the other, or both). I think FL is the best for communication with the exception that they do not allow direct contact. But then I have never tried direct contact on AFA. I did notice (I am interested in Chinese women) that the quality of ladies in the profiles are far above the ladies who attend the socials (see recent tour photos on AFA). I wondered about that until I found several photos of a woman I once talked to. Check profile 105691 CuiBai age 36 then check tour photos for 2009 China and scroll down to row 15 and look at the pic on the right. It is the same woman, just without the photo shoot make-up. Although you can find the same women on both sites, I would trust FL more. I have had good experiences and bad ones on both sites. Hey I was even dumped by... (Read the full review)

To be fair, I was very open minded about this site. I know a lot of these sites are scams. A Foreign Affair seemed to be legitimate and had no bad reviews I could see at the time. However, my experiences in emailing people were pretty disappointing. No sooner do you set up a profile, you start getting dozens of letters. I reviewed the profiles and even unlocked a few that seemed interesting ($6 a pop mind you, if they "write" you). After thinking about it awhile, I decided to write a few of them, to see if anything interesting might develop. What's funny is all letter seem to be answered in the same time frame, around 24 hours. Most of the replies are completely stupid and pretty much just a rehash of the things written in their profiles, they don't respond to any questions you ask and the letters don't say anything essentially meaningful. Oh, and they inevitably attach a couple photos from the same photo shoot as their profile photos, which are an additional $3.50 per photo on top of the $10 for reading the reply. There is...
