Re: Watch out.
Mike Moore:
Bummer reading all of the negative stuff lately about the scams being uncovered! I received a great letter from a lady this morning and was all excited. Then I woke up a little more and realized that it was probably too good to be true, or at least heavily embellished by the translator. Contacted customer support for a review of the translator and agency. I sent a nice reply to the letter anyway, but asked for the full range of personal contact info. I also added a note to the translator expressing appreciation for his efforts, but requesting that he not embellish any letters. I'll see how it goes. I can let this simmer for a spell before I consider it a scam, it's an interesting ride and I'm getting the rust off my emotions either way - opening more to the experience I want to ultimately share with a Chinese woman. But I'm beginning to think Shark has the right idea. Just go there and find a match. Hope I can pull that off.

I like what you're saying there Victor. This is important stuff, finding the scammers and sorting them out from the real thing. But once you've settled on one girl and you're pretty sure she's real, you've got to have some faith and trust. There was times for me when I had some doubts. We all have. Reading all these negative stories can really bring you down and makes you start to think it's not real. I know my girl's real and she's the one. It was awesome writing to her when I wasn't sure, now it's even better. Even the girls that are real aren't above throwing a curve ball just to see how you react. All I'm saying is don't drop the ball. ;)
Chong:
Mike ... you did the right thing by asking the translator not to embellish the letters. As others have mentioned, their first few letters had lots of 'flattery'. As soon as you ask specific questions about her life, family, work, hobbies, city, friends, etc etc ... there'll be more 'substances' in the letters. Depending on her responses, you can then determine if she's for real.
For each scammer, there's a honest lady. Unfortuately, it's a time & numbers process. I went through 12 to find my current one. Of the 12, many were honest ... but no chemistry.
