Why
is "China Love" (chinalove.com) on my Grey List?
This is the 1st and
ONLY report I have on this agency.
It is the weakest
reason I have ever had for putting an agency on the Grey list.
Read the report and
use that info to help you when you talk with the agency about your
using them.
Jim,
I have just finished a two week tour of China, that included visits to
CHNLOVE. I
would rate this group of companies as something to definitely be aware
of. There
are girls, and they definitely want to get married, but the problem is
in the
execution of the company. They make their money translating
messages for men [like
me] who contact ladies and then pay to have a message
translated. One of their
offices (Changsha) had 5 young ladies reading and translating messages,
and a second
office (Chengdu) had three.
I did meet ladies, but they were entirely different from their
pictures, which is
where the problem comes in. Several of the interpreters
hinted at angry clients who
traveled to see a particular lady, and then were disappointed at who
met them.
Do I rate this agency a scam? I would have to answer yes, although to
their credit,
they do present the ladies to you, albeit not the person you went to
see. At $3,000
a pop to travel to these countries, there is a definite problem.
Can you meet someone who interests you? Yes! But your going
to have to work at it.
I would say you need to meet 10 ladies to find 2 who may appeal to
you. I am no
newcomer to this game, and this was my 10th trip overseas, so I am
aware of the
games played by marriage agencies. I knew enough to schedule
as many ladies as
possible to avoid a total trip failure.
Again, this company is probably legit, but should be put on a watch
list until they
get the "glamour photos" bit cleaned up. Posting a photo that
does not come close
to resembling the person is not an honest way to do business.
