However tough it may be, you should frame your response to her on the basis that it is going to her Agency...she may NEVER even know what you write or have written in the past !!!

If the Agency is holding you out so that they keep the EMF slow drip going, then your ultimatum will finish it...because your Lady was never real.

If your Lady is genuinely the one who is resisting further contact with excuses like "poor English' or "no photos", then you have got to be suspicious that she is not serious.

I met my Ming through a different site, with no translators in the middle. Her first letter was in poor English and had obviously been done with Google translate. I suggested QQ and her response was "happy to do that but be aware my English is not good, but I have a translator program on my computer and I am very keen to meet you on QQ."

With the second letter she sent about 20 photos of herself. When I went to meet her in Chengdu, she had hundreds of photos of herself and her family......as they all do !!! When in Chengdu, she was in charge of photos with my camera....in 9 days she took 608 photos...cant tell me that Chinese women are not in love with all things photo !!!

Having been through the same "dramas" as you with CHNLove...I can sure tell you that most of this reluctance to communicate further is Agency generated....please note: I said "most" because we do know of instances where everything went just fine with the valuable help of a good Agency and its Staff...but these seem to be rare as rocking horse s**t.

 They will be afraid of you to lodge a complaint to the Chnlove headquarter.

Her email is pretty much her profile name and the yahoo.cn, but I'm not sure if it's agency controlled


I will place a bet this is an agency made email address! Anybody like to place a wager? I'm curious is her profile name Chinese or English...first not last name.


Well...My new lady is not on or in any agency, and her address ends in ( .cn)

this was always my belief that the agency controlled address ended like this too...

.cn only denotes that it is the Chinese version of Yahoo that was signed up through.  Like the Americans are .com, the Canadians are .ca, etc.

Hello Mate!

If u really look at what I written, you will notice I asked question about her name from agency...more than likely, if they gave her a English name(first name), this is an agency controlled email (if woman has profile name: Susie Qing and her email is susie145@yahoo.cn)...most emails from here have .cn at the end...this wasn't what I implied! :icon_cheesygrin:

P.S. you can pay two credits to get woman's email...hahahahaha!

Well, it seems she was a fake after all, and the email address was in fact an agency-controlled one.  I remember seeing a post somewhere on here which listed the id's of girls who are scammers, so that other guys could be warned... I can't find the post now, does anyone know the link?  I want to add her to the list.

Thanks,
D.

Her profile name is Chinese, but in the English format, like.. Firstname Lastname, but the first name is in Chinese.

Draydis

May I add to what Maxx is saying here........

We often jump into "the Lady is a scammer" because of all the obvious problems with communication we go through. In my post here I mentioned that the lady herself may not even be aware of what "she" had written to you or what "you " had replied back to her.

It is just possible that the Agency did all the communication as an EMF generation excercise.

We should be careful about automatically assigning "scammer" to these Ladies, after all , a scammer is a Woman who seeks money from us and has no interest in a relationship of any sort....this is much what we find on most of the Russian Dating Sites these days.

In reality, the label "scammer" might be applied more to the CHNLove Agencies who strive for EMF revenue at any cost. I have a suspicion that the Ladies themselves are as much the innocent victims as we are. If we condem many "innocent" Ladies with the scammer label, we may be doing the wrong thing by decent Women who only want the same as us...a genuine and lasting relationship with a Laowei.

But as usual, it is dammed difficult to prove either way !!!
