Loveme.com / A Foreign Affair
reviews and complaints

I went to China on a personnel tour after writing a couple of ladies there. The experience I had there was overwhelming. The staff went out of their way to help me and I developed a relationship with one translator that was really helpful. A couple of ladies went out of their way to impress me by taking me (they paid) to very nice restaurants on the first date. Two ladies impressed me by not trying to impress me. Our first dates we just walked around the area which gave us a chance to talk. Happy to say one of the these ladies and I are engaged and going through the fiancee visa process. We hit it off very well and are looking to be together by next summer.

It was my first time in Medellin and I had a great time. The people and the city were beautiful. I really enjoyed meeting the amazing women. They're kind, caring and family focused. They're passionate and they love purely. They're amazing and so different than what I'm used to. They're just tremendously beautiful, intelligent and know what they want. The whole staff put up a great event, very organized with great translators that really helped us get through. It's just a wonderful, once in a lifetime event that you need to take advantage of. I would say stop writing them and just go over there and meet the women face to face.

Thanks for all your efforts in assisting me with the communication and arrangement of the interesting person I met (name withheld for her privacy). It is my hope that she and I will get to know each other better, and should that happen, you will be definitely made aware; as we (with her approval) move forward with whatever processes required. With that said, please extend my appreciation to your agency, consummate professionals are far and few; you are by and large, the best at your craft.

First, AFA in Phoenix was highly professional in making all arrangements, and in telling me all about the process (how it works, what to expect, how to make the most of my time in Cebu). The socials were simply unbelievable. For us 16 men, there were 115 women each evening. Beautiful, sweet, happy women. All perfectly dressed and made up. And all there for only one reason: to meet the man who will love them, marry them, and make a life with them. No one can really imagine how nice the experience is unless he goes. So to anyone reading my sincere and honest message, here it is: "buy a ticket, book your tour, begin chatting with a few ladies who you would like to meet, keep your mind open to all possibilities, and GO. As a doctor here in America, I am hoping to someday (soon) bring a sweet, kind, loving, beautiful, special lady back to America to live all of my life with. There are so many of these ladies in Cebu. So go, guys. Go.

I wasn’t sure what to expect and to be honest I went with some trepidation regarding to how things would go in China, but it worked out very well. The hotel we stayed was very nice. The neighborhood felt very safe and the staff there was very helpful when it came to getting around and providing directions to local areas I needed to go. The socials were a unique experience. There was a good selection of women to meet at the socials in many different age groups and with various language abilities. All of the women I spoke with seemed very interested in getting to know me and seeing if we could develop a connection that could lead to something down the road. I felt that the tour was a great success. I met some very interesting ladies and got to experience things that I never would have if I had not gone to China.

Although my use of your tour was unconventional in the aspect that I had only desired to meet one woman instead of the multitude that you provide. It was worth every cent! For gentlemen viewing your website for the first time and possibly they are unsure of the type of women this country has to offer, Colombian women are very honest, attractive, loving, appreciative and incredibly sexy! The women by far are this country’s greatest asset. Seize the opportunity for a lifetime of unconditional love! Once again, thanks for your invaluable services of helping me find the woman of my dreams!

I was watching AFA show and I was watching the one they were showing in Cebu, Philippines for a couple of months, and I was thinking about it and every time they would say get up and just come over and I'd say to myself that it's time to decide. So I got a flight from Jacksonville to NYC then took Philippine Airlines to Manila then to Davao. I had so much fun, I went to two tours. The first tour I met this lady and now we're engaged. I would tell everybody that this show is working, it worked for me I was sitting in my sofa doing nothing and I was a single person and I said to myself that it was time. Now it's time for you to get up and come over to the Philippines and see the Cebu or Davao tour and your gonna enjoy and have alot of fun about this because there will be hundred of girls. The service is excellent. I had never had this type of service so I recommend you to get ready, book a tour and get on that plane.

I had a great time in Mexico City. Olga put together a wonderful experience and was very helpful in navigating the many beautiful women who attended the socials along with my interpreter Sasha. Olga and her team were always available to help or advise whenever needed and always had my best interest as a priority. Thanks to them I have met 2 woman that could very well turn into a lasting relationship.

I wasn't happy with the quality woman I was meeting through various dating websites. I kept running into girls that were just about money, or weren't quite ready for a relationship. This agency helped a lot because the girls that are going there are definitely marriage minded. They are definitely looking for a relationship. So the women, they were all like grateful to just find a man that actually like was serious too. Right away just that pool, it just took a lot of pressure off, cause you know you got like girls that are here for the right reasons, and so it made the dating a little more like meaningful because you knew you had someone, you know was looking at this similar goals you were.

The tour was positively everything I expected and more. The staff was very sincere, helpful, and gracious; they went the extra mile to ensure I had a pleasant experience. What really makes me tip my hat off to them is the follow up friendship that has been established. The Shenzhen staff not only performed professionally, they have displayed their hearts are truly into their work. In my business, I can spot a potential business associate that is "in it for the money only" a mile away. This was certainly not the case in dealing with the fine team they have been fortunate to assemble.

Last year, I went to the Cebu social in the Philippines organized by AFA. I had a wonderful time. I met a lot of wonderful people, wonderful women. I took a chance to give it a try and see what happens. So I wrote to several ladies and that’s one of the things I can tell the men right now, straight up. You can write all the letters you want but it really makes no difference. You have to get up off the couch, get on a plane, get over there and meet them in person. That’s the only way you can find out. Be there and experience and see what it’s all about.

Thank you for such a wonderful site. You really do deliver what you say! I have been a member for 2 months and I have more addresses and girls writing to me than I know what to do with. I’m a fairly good looking young guy, but I’m not used to having to turn down beautiful women, however since I’ve meet a couple of girls worth visiting, I’ve decided that I no longer need further addresses. Your site is great and the responses have been swift. Keep up the good work!

The Filipino women that I met on the tour were some of the finest women I have ever met in my life. There's something unique about Filipinas. Specifically, they're very loyal, loving, and caring. They've got strong, old-fashioned family values. They understand the value of money. They'll struggle and build with you. And they're in it for the right reasons. I think a lot of men from the west have a tough time meeting genuine women. The Filipino women that I met have all been phenomenally genuine.

I've been on multiple club tours to Ukraine and Mexico, and a group tour in Costa Rica. I've praised the AFA tour staff for setting me up on each tour. But I honestly must say the recent Thailand tour significantly exceeded all other. As awesome as I think AFA staff and tours in other venues are, Thailand takes it to a whole new level. The others are great but none can do what the Thailand AFA staff do for attendees. I love Thailand, the staff, and the tour. I've had many great tours but this was head and shoulder the very best ever!

I'm really glad I went to the Philippines. I expected to meet a lot of women at the Davao socials. But personally myself, I had only written to one woman and she was the only one I invited to the socials. I attended the socials with an open mind to see if my feelings would change, and after the socials I continued to be with Jackie. I'm glad I did because she is now my fiancee. We were together for 12 days there and every moment I spent with here were amazing. I'm really happy that I found her through the site.

When I signed up, it was all about business, and they were always prompt, polite and professional. There was always a personal touch that made it all work for me. When I landed in Barranquilla, Colombia for the tour and cleared customs at 3 in the morning, there was a driver holding a sign with my name on it. Next morning, I met a wonderful interpreter who took me to the office to meet with the first of the ladies I had requested to meet. Everything went smoothly until the 3rd day. That was when I met Ruth and my life changed. Thanks to a great team in Phoenix and fantastic people in Colombia.

A Foreign Affair is a company you can put your complete trust in and rest in the knowledge that the experience you are about to embark on (should you decide to do so), will be one that you will want to remember for a long time to come. But the important thing you have to remember is, you have to be sincere in your intentions. This is not a game. You need to take this experience with an open mind, and with honest intentions. The women are real, and so you have to be. A Foreign Affair goes to great pains to make sure that your experience will be rewarding, and hopefully successful in the end. If something unexpected arises, AFA will be there to assist you. You are not going to be left to your own defenses, ever. This company has been around for almost 30 years, and has a proven track record, and complies with all state (of Arizona) and Federal laws. All you need to do is put your faith in AFA. I did, and I’m happy with my success.

I was motivated to join the Philippines tour because I love Filipino women. I find them incredibly beautiful, down-to-earth and humble. The prospect of meeting a lot of quality women and knowing that AFA was screening them gave me a measure of confidence that I was not meeting a random person and I felt that was important. When you're coming to a foreign country you wanna know that the women are vetted and screened to some degree. And AFA knows a little bit about their profiles and background. I liked that. It made me feel secure. So that was the biggest thing - my desire to meet a great Filipina.

I would definitely recommend the Colombia tour. It's organized for you, you're safe, and you're going to have a beautiful experience that you can't get on your own. AFA has all the connections with the city so you will be going to places that are interesting and then on top of that you will be meeting more sophisticated and elegant women than you could ever meet one on one anywhere else. So if you guys are looking and you're serious about finding someone that you want to establish a long-term relationship with leading to marriage, than this is definitely a place you should consider and coming to through the AFA tours.

My input and experience regarding AFA Tours, specifically to Cebu, Philippines -GO! Just GO! Do not write ANY letters unless you have a seat on a plane! No substitute for being there, no real need to waist any money writing anyone - the key factor is; You Must Be There Physically! Arrive with a list of possibilities or sort through the profiles when you get there -but you have to get there! I know because I wrote two women before I arrived on my tour. One of those women is now my Fiancee - we were engaged after our first meeting.

My experience with LoveMe (loveme.com) was extremely disappointing. I had high hopes of meeting a woman in Ukraine, but unfortunately, the agency representing A Foreign Affair did everything in their power to prevent that from happening. They delayed my letters and even went as far as telling the woman I was communicating with that I was seeing someone else, just to keep us apart. This happened not once, but twice, and even though they admitted to their wrongdoing, they did nothing to rectify the situation. Instead, they continued to take my money and made no effort to prevent it from happening again.

It's clear that the longer they keep you from meeting, the more money they make. I can understand a mistake happening once, but twice is unacceptable. To add insult to injury, they wanted to charge me $75 when they finally allowed our letters to reach each other. It's a complete scam, and the woman who ran the agency even lied and came to my hotel to find me. She wanted to explain, but her behavior was erratic and caused a scene when I asked her to leave me alone.

It's evident that LoveMe is all about the money and not about finding the right person for you. I was a good client, so don't think they won't do the same to you. Beware of this agency and their tactics.

So, I recently tried out LoveMe (loveme.com) and I have to say, it was a bit of a mixed experience. At first, I was excited to start emailing some of the women on the site and see if I could make a connection. But, as I quickly found out, it's not exactly cheap to do so. I had to pay a pretty high fee just to be able to send and read messages, which was a bit of a bummer.

After a while, I decided to take the plunge and purchase a "virtual email address" for one of the girls I had been chatting with. I thought this would make things easier and save me some money in the long run. But, unfortunately, things didn't go quite as smoothly as I had hoped.

First of all, LoveMe didn't notify the girl that I had purchased her virtual email address, which was frustrating. When I reached out to customer service for help, I didn't get much assistance from Anna. Her responses were pretty generic and didn't really address my specific issue. After a while, she just stopped responding altogether, which was pretty annoying.

Eventually, I had to call the Phoenix office to get some answers. I found out that the girl I had been chatting with needed to physically go to the office to sign my IMBRA (which is a requirement for international dating). But, when she did call the office, they didn't get a notification that my IMBRA needed to be signed. It was all a bit of a mess, to be honest.

To make matters worse, I later found out that the girl didn't even live in the town that was listed on her profile. So, even if we had been able to chat outside of the website, it would have been difficult to actually meet up in person.

Overall, I have mixed feelings about LoveMe. On the one hand, I think it's great that they offer trips where you can meet women in person. That seems like a much more reliable way to make a connection. But, on the other hand, I feel like the website is a bit of a money grab. They charge high fees for everything and don't seem to be very helpful when things go wrong.

If you're thinking about trying out LoveMe, I would definitely recommend doing your research first. Make sure you understand all the fees and requirements before you start spending money. And, if possible, try to go on one of their trips rather than relying on the website to make a connection.

I gotta tell ya, I've been around the block when it comes to dating sites. And let me tell you, most of them are just out to get your money. They lure you in with pictures of beautiful women, but let's be real, those ladies are probably already taken or just models who don't give a hoot about you.

Don't believe me? Try this little experiment. Sign up for five different dating sites and create fake profiles. You'll be amazed at how many gorgeous women will message you, even if you're not exactly a looker yourself. It just doesn't add up, does it? And if you make a list of the top 10 sexiest ladies on those sites, I bet you'll find them still there a year later. It's like they're not even real!

But then I stumbled upon LoveMe (loveme.com) and let me tell you, it's a whole different ballgame. They don't just promise to connect you with beautiful women, they actually deliver. And I'm not talking about fake profiles or models who don't care. These are real, genuine women who are looking for love just like you.

Sure, they ask you to provide a list of women you want to meet, but that's just to make sure they find the perfect match for you. And trust me, they do their homework. I gave them a list of the sexiest ladies I could find and they actually set me up on dates with them. I couldn't believe it!

And the best part? LoveMe doesn't just focus on one country or region. They have women from all over the world, including Russia. And let me tell you, I've tried at least five different free Russian dating sites and they were all a bust. I was lucky if I got a few messages a month, and they were definitely not from models.

So if you're tired of throwing your money away on dating sites that don't deliver, give LoveMe a try. You won't regret it.

I've been a member of LoveMe for 3 years now and I'm 32 years old. I joined because I saw some YouTube videos and read feedback from other customers. My experience has been that some of the women on the site, especially those between 18 and 35, can be fake or just interested in your money. It costs $9.99 to send an email to a woman and the same amount to receive one from a woman.

I spent 9 months getting to know a beautiful 23-year-old lady on the site. But one day, she disappeared from the site and deleted her profile. I was disappointed, but I decided to take a break and relax. After a while, I met another beautiful lady who was 32 years old. We started emailing each other every day, but it was getting expensive, so we decided to email each other once a week. We've been in a long-distance online relationship for almost 2 years now. But recently, she told me that she's no longer interested in being a member of the site. I was sad and confused because we had invested so much time in each other. Three days later, she also deleted her profile. I had invested over $2,000 in this relationship and got no results.

I was shocked when I saw a video exposing how FAKE LoveMe.com or Foreign Affair is. Some of the women at the Singles Tours are not even members. They were just invited for the free drinks. Most of them were already married women with children. If you use reverse image search, you can find the same profile on different websites.

Overall, my experience with LoveMe has been disappointing. I've invested a lot of time and money, but I haven't gotten any results. I would caution anyone who is thinking of joining the site to be careful and do their research first.

I'm excited to share my experience with LoveMe, as I'm going on a romance tour in just two weeks! I've provided A Foreign Affair with a list of 20 women in Kiev and Poltava that I'd like to meet, and I even called LoveMe to ask how many of these women they think will actually attend the social. Their response was that all 20 could come, or none at all. I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar experience and how many women from their list actually showed up.

Update: The tour was really enjoyable, although I did notice that some women seemed to be there just for the free drinks, champagne, and the possibility of a nice one-on-one dinner or shopping with their date. But hey, what woman doesn't want those things from their man, right? Unfortunately, none of the 20 women I invited showed up.

Update 2: Despite that setback, I did end up meeting two beautiful women on the AFA tour who are both 100% interested in me. They've even visited me in my home country, and within a few months, one of them might even be living with me! Of course, we still have to go through all the visa procedures for her permanent stay, but I'm hopeful that everything will work out.

Update 3: I'm happy to report that one of the girls is now living with me, and all my friends are jealous that I have such a young and attractive girlfriend. Sure, she might need a bit more attention than local girls, but she's definitely worth it. Overall, I'm really pleased with my experience with LoveMe and would recommend it to anyone looking for love abroad.

So, let me tell you about my experience with LoveMe (loveme.com). I have to say, it wasn't the best. I noticed that a lot of the women who listed their profession as "Administrators" were actually professional profile girls. They're on multiple websites and are paid to sit around all day and write men in an attempt to get them to write back. Then they start the process of trying to get them to write them on a regular basis. The companies pay the girls to get as many men as they can to write them back and get hooked on their letters coming every day. But the big money is when the woman gets the man to go on a tour with them. They are paid to get the men to bring them to restaurants, hotels, and any other place they can talk the man into bringing them.

Now, let's talk about the women's looks. Some of the women, even the ugly ones, are allowed to fix their pictures and post them. So, don't be surprised if you do get a woman to show up at a tour party, and the beautiful woman you expected ends up looking completely different than their pictures. I mean completely different. That should be illegal. But what is a man to do because he has already spent big money to come see a woman who looks nothing like what he was expecting to see. AFA won't care because they already have your money, and you are stuck with nothing but a bad situation.

It's clear that they prey on men who are serious and want a relationship. But what do they care? They got your money and will tell you to just go find another woman. These guys are making big bucks also by marking everything up to America's prices and paying about a third of what they collect for the suckers.

In conclusion, I would recommend going to another agency. It can't be any worse than this one. Don't waste your time and money on LoveMe (loveme.com).

I gotta say, I just had to add my two cents about LoveMe, or as some folks call it, A Foreign Affair. I was on another site chatting with a gal named Elena, who said she was a teacher and was five foot five. But then I saw her on LoveMe and suddenly she's five foot seven and an administrator! That's just plain shady, you know? It seems like they're buying profiles from other sites and changing them up, so you might not even be talking to the real person you think you are. That's a waste of time and money, if you ask me.

And don't even get me started on that "engaged/married" list they have. If you do a search, you'll see way more deleted profiles than ones that are supposedly taken. I think they just put those up to make it seem like the site is more popular than it really is. Some of those profiles have been up for years, even though the lady might not actually be engaged or married anymore. It's all smoke and mirrors, you know?

Their antiscam policy is a joke, too. They say they blacklist certain people, but who knows if that's even true? I bet there are more scammers on there than they're willing to admit. And the whole reason they want you to write to these ladies is so they can get you to go on their tours. They make money off of those, and then you meet ladies who might not even look like their pictures. That's just false advertising, if you ask me.

I don't know who would put this site on a gold list, but they must be getting paid to say that. And honestly, who says that women in your own country aren't just as good as foreign ones? It's all a matter of personal preference, you know?

Martichka,

do you take yourself sincere in your dating intentions stating me in our correspondence at UaDreams dating site that my knowledge of your full name and (original) address sounds you disturbing? After my long period shows of sympathy to you at various websites? At LoveMe now you present having relocated. Really should I not express my interest for you to your original address and instead of it to pay you for correspondence at these dating sites? Now you are settled at the same distance from me like before and now you travel to northeast Italian seaside resorts flying over my head to the same distances from me. Should I not think of it, while you wishing me a wonderful day? You can reply me here below my review.

In my opinion, this is a predatory dating site that takes advantage of vulnerable, lonely, gullible, and ill informed men seeking female companionship and long term loving relationships. The messages sent and received in the site are scripted by FA employees and designed to entice multiple contacts and generate payments associated with each interaction. The photos represented on the site are of women mostly 30-40 years old who are very attractive and certainly not a cross section of real world women. Looking closely you can identify photo shoot locations and props, as well as a lot of photo retouching. I exchanged communications with one of FA's owner's after a fraudulent interaction (my only message) and was amazed at how transparent and shallow his explanations were. I advise researching the BBB complaints about this company. Beware!

There are a lot of fake profiles on the AFA/Loveme.com websites.

I recognize several of the women that are on the website. An acquaintance of mine knows these women and they are NOT on the website. Some of these women are very upset.

Having these fake profiles removed however is nearly impossible.

Writing them through "contact us" doesn't do anything. The fake profiles are still up and running.

I have been with LoveMe for over a year. I did have a successful with a previous IMBRA personal contact information with my first serious correspondence as I am still in weekly contact with this individual. So I know the routine and how it works. You pay $400 and you get direct

personal contact information.

But this past IMBRA transactin proved that the persn I was corresponding with was a complete fraud. I paid the $400 and received a What's App number, with no name? I immediately cmplained and then received it. So I proceeded to text the number, and all I received was " hello dear" I must read 100 letters, there was never a hello dear? So I managed to send a follow up email and give my address. By now I knew I was being scammed the actions didn't line up with the words. I emailed Anna the owner and asked her nicely to reimburse me all of my money spent on this scam. I didn't blame her, but since she is the owner she is ultimately responsible. I made plans with this woman to fly to Poland, then take a train to Kiev, and I have the letters to prove that the only way this can happen is with direct daily communication. You

think I would do this through email? I must have sent 8 what's app texts and tried a video call to verify that this was the same woman I have been exchanging letters and making travel plans with. NO ANSWERS..I have all the letters and text message attempts to prove my case. Now I have spent a few thousand dollars and put myself in harms way of traveling to Kiev for a pipe dream.

I was supposedly talking to a woman's profile during the pandemic after loveme had reached out to me by finding me on social media after I had the impression the woman on the site want to bombard you with letters, or the translator pretending to be the women, just to make money for the site.
One fake profile used by the translator didn't mention a gift I sent prior to Christmas as the fake profile and translator said she was heading home to Argentina with family.
I never got a confirmation that the gift was received from loveme as they said they would nor a photo for all the combined gifts I sent. The site loveme AforeignAffair just walked off with several hundreds of dollars.
Scam site !

Loveme.com is a scam! They want you to keep writing letters back and forth with i'm assuming employees of loveme.com and not the actual people from the profiles. I was in correspondence with people from the website. Conversations were great, but when time came to exchange information they just wanted you to keep writing (spend money) and time to exchange contact information never came. Also every number they have on the website to call and cancel membership i could not get a hold of no one after calling over and over.

Photoshopped gorgeous girls, vague or obviously fake personal details (how many claim to be models, or doctors?), and dreamy romantic goals of settling down with perfect man. None of it is real.

Don't believe me? Change your name to Elmer Fudd, who is a 4'11" 250# janitor, living with his mom, and post the ugliest pic you can find on the internet. See how many drop dead models will still immediately send a letter, "Oh, Elmer, could you be the one?"

This is the biggest scam sight going
We should send them down memory lane.

Katerina 137135 is a scammer: she has continually been residing at many dating sites, some redirecting to one another, since at least the year of 2012, first as brown eyed Katie #2404 from Donetsk, Dnipro, then as brown eyed Ekaterina 65454 from Odessa, newly as black eyed Katerina 137135 from Odessa, several times reviewed by me, see at Google. For example, in Google Pictures search results for 'Katerina 137135' click at 'adanov.com' and you will see the Katerina with a comment of 'Katerina, 137135, Donetsk, Ukraine, Ukraine women, Age: 28'; clicking the link, you will be redirected to loveme.com, where the Katerina is now 34 years old.

SCAM. Overall absolutely a scam. They operate under the guise of fairness and probably convince themselves, at some level that they are legit, but they are not. I have corresponded with women on this site and I have been on a tour and visited 3 Socials.

First of all. Letter writing is total BS. Management knows this and this piece is the most lucrative part of their business model. It is also a red flag and represents the core of this organizations lack of ethics. As many have read here, many women are fake, don't write their own letters etc.

Travel. I went on a tour. It is overpriced and not well run but it was not terrible. And you could use it as a way to visit a country you would have never visited otherwise. The Socials are fun in that you walk into a room with 100 women and you are in a group of 20 guys, many social misfits. So if you have any game, you can meet many interested women. The problem is that there may be 2 or 3% that are serious about meeting someone for marriage. What they ARE serious about, is having you buy them expensive meals while you are there (they get a cut from the restaurant) and using an interpreter, who is their friend (and they get a cut of the $20/hour) and just have a grand old time hanging out with their interpreter girlfriend while some older dude is paying for everything. I was there. This is the norm, not an exception.

My comments are real and true. I expect a plant from AFA will chime in and negate my comments, but do trust me. I was there. Several of the girls that work for AFA regionally and only work the dating room or "war room" as they call it confirmed my suspicions early on. The women at the Socials can earn more money in 1 or 2 dinner dates with you (restaurant cut + interpreter cut) than they can earn in a month and sometimes two at their jobs. Word gets out, and AFA uses regional offices to advertise this way. So they have nothing to lose. And sure, they all know the longshot of meeting their dream man and that is a real option, but they are there to play and make some $$$.

So in summary, AFA is definitely operating unethically and providing misinformation. AFA knows the reality of their letter writing (scam 95% of the time) and that women in the Socials are there for meals, a gifts, or to maybe even get an allowance or a new phone once the man leaves (after being scammed at restaurants and interpreter cuts) as they play like the love him and want him to visit again soon. But AFA is making a mint. This is the reality. They should be ashamed. Or better yet sued. If the saying "what goes around comes around" is true, they have many bad days ahead.

I spent $700 talking to a woman on AFA who had the same occupation as me and lived in Kiev. She never would switch to a form of communication such as gmail where we could communicate for free.
I suspect this individual is working for AFA and receiving a percentage of the income she makes working for the company.
I talked to another Ukrainian who supposedly spoke no English, but the length of time it took to get the letters from me and hers translated back and forth made me suspect it was someone actually working at one of their agencies.
My complaints about the $700 lost got me no where and they did absolutely nothing. I would have accepted a couple of hundred off on a trip but they did nothing and offered nothing.

I received a letter from a Ukrainian lady living in South Beach, FL. She was very beautiful on outside at least and we wrote several letters to each. She sent me various pics including bikini photos and appeared to be completely sincere in starting a relationship with me. She emphasized us meeting in person but I had to pay a $400 fee to set up the meeting which I did. Upon our meeting after confusion in coordinating a time and place her interest was totally cold towards me and after a $200+ steak dinner I dropped her at home I guess. Almost immediately when I arrived back at my hotel she texted that she didn't see us getting together because I'am a follower of Christ. I emphasized to her in my letters on two occasions that I could not get with a lady who wasn't willing to commit to my faith. The obvious scam was to get the $400 meeting fee which was paid to the loveme.com agency. But I'd bet my paycheck this lady received a great portion of that $400. Gentleman please beware, this could have turned out worse.

Rules of Engagement (pun intended) for Loveme.com (A Foreign Affair)
I have had nearly a year of experience with AFA. Though I've yet to be on trip, it is only because I've yet to find a genuinely lovely and genuine woman. Below you will find my advice based upon my experience. If you think with the head on your shoulders, you'll realize the advice below is more than sane; it is simply prudent.

1) Don't ever write to someone who looks like a model. She probably is, and unless you're the most handsome and wealthiest man in the world, and within a few years of age of that lovely woman, your chances of ever meeting her are those of an ice cube's chance in Hell. In particular, don't even think about writing to one of their featured woman on their home page. Very few of them have direct email addresses, and, for these woman in particular, that is a dead giveaway. You must understand that AFA has hundreds of offices worldwide that only too willing to do whatever it takes to make money from you. Remember, AFA only has a few tours each year to even the largest cities. How do you think those offices maintain any income with pay-per-letter revenues?
2) If you find a woman WITHOUT a direct email address and you choose to write to her, pay attention to the rapidity of her response. If she responds quickly, but does not have a direct email address, ask yourself: How can she do this? Chances are someone in a remote AFA office is trying make a buck off of you; and it's not the woman you think you are writing to. "SHE" may tell you that she needs help with translation or that she dictates her letters by mail, but ask yourself: Do you want someone you cannot communicate with? Do you believe someone romantically interested in you would dictate what is a love letter over the phone?
3) If "she" has a direct email address, trying writing to that address first with a personal letter that includes a picture of yourself. (Direct or virtual email addresses are "free" to Platinum Members.) Chances are (9 in 10 times) you will probably never hear from her; most of those "virtual email addresses" are black holes.
4) Don't ever send anyone you have not personally met any money. Discontinue any communications with a "woman" who asks for or even hints that she may need money.
5) If a "woman" who is a professional--doctor, lawyer, engineer, accountant, architect, etc.)--sends you a letter almost everyday but does not have a direct email address, ask yourself: How does she do this with a demanding job? It doesn't matter in what country one lives, a person supporting herself and possibly a child or two simply cannot write to you most every day.
6) If you think: "My god, all these women are beautiful", beware... most of the AFA pics are highly touched-up (especially in China) and do not represent what you will actually find. View some of the pics from social gatherings. The women do not look anything like the beauties you have seen. View some of the videos of AFA trips. With the singular exception of the Philipines (most those women are models are "working girls", and one of the Ukraine videos/picture sweets, you will see the truth.

Conclusion: Use the head on your shoulders, not the little one. If something seems odd, something IS odd. There are too many women at AFA to all be false, but you will have to work hard to find the good ones. Even then beware that the local AFA offices have very little income other than from pay-per-letter
