This site and company is a complete ripoff. The site is full of regular members who don't pay and they're full of scammers from asian region trying to scam people in U.S. They also charge you for the highest membership and then keep adding charges to contact any members. The site also doesn't have any paid members who are legit. Even if they're they're so low in numbers (like in 10's) for a given region. Most of them seem to have made up by the company itself, as you don't get any responses from even the little members.

When tried to contact them about this, they closed my account and deactivated everything without refunding money back to my credit card. I'm in the process of contacting the credit card company for fraudulent charges without providing service.

Stay away from this site. Do not be lured by their Gold, Silver memberships or $5.99/month for 12 months deal. It will be tempting and you will lured in and charged over and over and won't even be able to cancel your membership. The credit card will be autocharged over and over. '

Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, those of us who are seriously looking for a relationship on AsiaFriendFinder.com website, please be very careful. Even better, try to use another dating website.

I have encountered several pretty Caucasian or mixed, ladies (that was my problem), one after another, they were asking me for money. I actually have been scammed quite a big sum of money by the first lady I encountered, too embarrassed to mention. I could not be believe I was so stupid, but too late now. Then I moved on , long and behold, she was also a scammer, asking for help, money, with all kind of excuses, even before we get to know each other well. Since I had experience with the first one, I immediately quit communicating with her. As I moved on, I could not believe. one after another they were all scammers asking for money. I just abandon the 5th one just now. That's it. No more for me. My membership with them is expiring, not going to renew.

So, as you can see, the Scammers can be any race. There are always Asian men or women who like men/women of other races. The Scammers know that. Like my case, all the ladies I was attracted to are either Caucasian or mixed. Whatever it is, this website sucks.

I also strongly believe the scamming could also be an insider's job. This was what happened. The scammer(s) was actually not, but could also be, the lady on the pictures, posted on the website or sent to you. Some scammers (likely the insiders, like AFF employees), somehow stole, or got hold of the beautiful members from the past, who was no longer a member, and pretended to be those ladies looking for a relationship. The scammers usually talk very sweet to you, on the email only, anything to get you feel loved, and addicted. But they will never reveal themselves on video chat, not even talk to you unless it is absolutely necessary to get the money. The scammers could be anybody, you never know. One technique they used was to say that their phone broke, and somehow they would never get it fixed or use any excuse to not getting it fixed. They might ask you to buy her a phone, a used new model iPhone, so that you wouldn’t suspect. Often, she is a hairstylist, often working at home so that you cannot find the company on Google. They always have excuses not to expose their identity. They would drag on and on while trying to get you to send money to them. They somehow got into a lucrative business that has potential of making millions, but last minutes, they have to pay unexpected Government fees. That’s when they approached you to help. This was how the scammer got me. I was blinded by her love, her sweet talk. She would lead you to believe that once that once the fees had been paid she could come back to me, but that would never happen. She/they would keep dragging on even after you’ve paid. By the time I realized, I already loss the money and trying to get it back but no way. Please people, snap out of it. I wish I came across this website earlier. The scammers are scum of the earth. I never thought people can be so low exploiting vulnerable people on dating website. In short, no money should be involved in any relationship until becoming life partner, with the exception of perhaps small amount of gift or expenses. Even then, no one should ask for money even after couples have met, not to mention when couples have never meet each other.

I've been there a few days and yeah I'm getting the feeling is a waste of time. I'm talking to a (what I hope is a) girl there now who has a profile that says she lives in New Jersey, but she has a phone number from Minnesota. I sent a text to the number but no reply. Also she's apparently visiting family in the Philippines but her profiles says that she's Caucasian and she doesn't look part Filipino in the picture. She does have dark brown hair and tanned skin/brown eyes so I suppose it could be possible but I'm inclined to think that this is just a scammer. I've tried a lot of dating sites and this one is kind of boring to be honest with a lot of profiles that look fake. The Cupid sites seem to be a bit better if you're looking to meet a real woman.

I was just scamme out of a lot of money by a lady on the AFF site. She posed as an American woman who just lots her job and needed some money. She worte very romantic letters but everythig was a scam. There are a lot of scam ladies on the AFF website. Be very careful to check out the lady and have a face to face Skype conversation and get proof that hhe lady is real Many are not real. If someone asks you for money then 100%, it is a scam.

I've been on these dating sites for many years. Every dating site has several people who either not real or just want you to send them money. I did meet real people from asiafriendfinder, asiadating and adultfriender. As a matter of fact, I met my wife on Asiafriendfinder. So, there are real people on these dating sites. My wife and I have been married for almost six years now. She is Chinese and lived in Denver, Colorado. My recommendation is to never send money for whatever reason, i.e., plane fare, rent, passport, etc. I foolish did that in the very beginning but I got wise very quickly. You can always reimburse the woman when she meets you or make the plane reservations yourself. Watch what she says when you offer to make the reservations yourself.

I really wish I could have found here to state my experience with the complained site much sooner. But, other than my first relationship that I actually had a relationship with, that site is a joke as it opted to allow so many scammers into it and scam it badly. How bad? at least $70K in a 5-year span from 2006 to 2010. AFF SUCKS! Don't trust that site even if your life is depending on it.

Every woman I was contacted by or who I contacted was a scam artist. Most were fairly obvious, but one clever one bilked me out of $470 (claiming a sick elderly woman who then died as her roommate), then had the unmitigated gall to ask me for my bank account information! At least I wasn't THAT stupid. STAY AWAY!

LOL, Here's an interesting fact, I am asian and married for 7 years to a white guy. A few months ago I noticed my husbands guilty reactions whenever i come close and he was browsing on some site on his phone, he either turn it off or he turn it away from me... damn curious. So i tried to investigate and found out that he was on several dating sites, asian, chn, latina, even the hookup sites, with his status as divorced or not stated. When confronted he outright denied it, he eventually owned up when confronted with evidence and claimed it was just for entertainment, (entertainment my ###, i wasn't born yesterday). He deleted his account on some sites but most are still up and since liars will are always be liars, I think he's still on those sites given the chance.

So basically, I made an account on two sites, asianfriendfinder and adultfriendfinder to check and browse if he made another account, but i'm getting tired of the cat and mouse game, i'll probably just divorce him, just don't trust him anymore. For sure I'm one of the 10% in there hat's not part of the program. So point is, not everything you see in the net can be relied on, never trust the net nor people behind it, they always have an agenda.

Ladies, this site full of scammers. they all claimed themselves as widows, their wives all die of cancer. 女士们要小心! 骗子太多. 自称在马来西亚有工程项目。工程结束需要向你借钱付税。还有自称在海军工作的工程师。经常水下作业,需要你帮他代收支票的。自称是James Preston 光荣退伍的。 通通是想骗你的钱!

I live in North Central NJ. I was contacted by a woman in Hackensack (20 miles north). She was Asian around 54 and she sent me her phone number. I called her and she hung up. I wrote her and she wrote me to call again. I called and I got an answering machine. She called back around 10:15 PM. Her English was weak and she told me she moved to Tampa. I tried to have a conversation with her and she said a few disconnected things and then said good-bye.

I am not a paying member. This is definitely a scam. She probably calls suckers all day and night.

I met a scammer on Asian Friend Finder(AFF) but this guy was from Romania whose account was cancelled by AFF. I just cancelled my account after this incident but I felt so violated. In this site there are a lot of guy looking for sexual encounter not a relationship and also a huge number of scammer lure on this site. I want to warn ladies to beware about this Asian Friend Finder, for it pose danger to people who are looking for love.

I had a gold membership for 2 years
after i used it the last month of the 2nd year and made sure the auto renue was off
they went and started taking money out of my account they try to swear the auto renue was not off
and they charged me more in 5 months that a full years gold membership

i did not catch it because i live out of country now and my bank statements wont forward to china
my bank only just this month offer paperless statements for business accounts
so it wont happen again

i made many friends there for certain
but it takes experiance to see scammers
lucky i have allot of experiance with asia

many of the scammers are in countries like russia or ukraine especially

but i also made sure often the auto renue on my settings were off

bascally if you challenge them they read the script and lie to you
that they see everything you did or do and say i never turned it off

this is not my first Rodeo

very comfortable with website purchases
after being a gold member for 2 years i knew my way around my account pretty good
so if what it shows me is off
but their system sys on
you can bet your last penny that is not simply a website or programmer error but intentionally in the scripts

bottom line as long as your paying they love u

drop the account and they will try to get teir money anyway

they say they can see everything

yet my account is full of times i complained about setting saying one thing but doing another

dont trust them

also as stated
most of the people on the site are scammers
more then 70% i would guess

i am experianced with asia and live in China most of the time from now on
also lived in Korea for many years

reccomend you never trust anyone there even though a small % are real

never send anyone any money no matter what the sad or horror stories they feed you
most of them share the stroies that work

i am lucky i know most of the games so i dont get burned by any members
but i ended up getting burned by the website itself instead

go figure

also as mentioned they are not likely to remove a girl even if she is a scammer if she is pretty since she draws in more suckers to join the site

do the math

My experience with this website and company was exactly the same. The site if filled with non-paying profiles and way to many faked profiles. Even after repeated request to cancel my account they kept charging my account and then acted like total aholes when I complained.

Perhaps you should hire a prostitute directly.
