I have already read all of your book. I have been looking for 2 years for a chinese wife. I am serious to find. I have already been to Guangzhou 2 years ago this June. I found out about it all at first hand, the hard way, translater, etc, etc. And she wanted me to pay 18,000rmb which I refused. So I left the next day. I could never trust her to go back and she lied about her English status. I was just reading your precautions webapge. I see the website has been banned - "Yi Guang Lian" that is the one in Guangzhou that the lady I went to see was using. I have been on AFF, Cherry Blossoms, robsnanningsite, dateinasia, rsvp and finally your site. I am impressed by your site and think it a god send. I can see the sincerety and devotion you have put in it... Ralph 6 April, 2008 Hi. Asian Promise, I would just like to say, your web site is very good. But there are some ladies out there who are not completley true. I met a girl from Xiamen. I sponserd and helped her get her visa to Australia, and we got married here. After one year, I found out she was still having a internet affair with an old lover of hers, and then she left me just 3days after Christmas, one year after our marriage. She left of her own accord, I did not want her to go, I was willing to forgive her and work things out, but she was not interested. She showed no emothion at all, during this time, its obvious to all of us now, that she used me just to get her visa into Australia. I supported her finacially, as she said she had no money, although she found a good job, but said she had very little savings. I then found out she had a lot of money saved up, even though she asked me to pay for her visa, and all the other expenses. I was happy to do this, because I loved her, but to later find out that she bought lots of money with her from Xiamen, and put it into a bank account of her own in Australia, because she wanted to but a car for herself .and then continued to save money for herself, while I payed for most of our living expenses. I was finding it hard to pay for things, having payed for our wedding also, while she was just saving money for herself. This was and still is very hurtfull to me. That is all I have to say, it is all very sad, I just feel so betrayed and used. Brian Lewis 14 Septemberl, 2007 Dear Dawn I have something to send to you about "X" Chinese love site but will do so later as it is rather long. I suspected one of the translators was sending me E-mails from Nanning agency pretending they were from my contact Linda. I complained to "X" and they investigated it. The "fanyi (the translator), also named Chris" admitted it and apologised but I may have started something as it also transpires that Linda in Nanning was only sending me E-mails three times a week. I was getting E-mails everyday and was paying for them! It may also come to light that the "fanyi" was replying and not Linda. Linda also told me that she had to pay the Nanning agency 5300 Yuan for introducing me to her! Needless to say I am out of there and do not go on "X" website anymore. However I have found a very nice person in Nanjing and she would like a copy of your book. She is a university lecturer and speaks and writes very good English. Take care Allen 9 April, 2007 Dear Dawn I am sending you my latest letter to "X" (see the letter below) about the happenings with the lady from Nanning. You can certainly publish any of the contents. Although it is not too dramatic for Westerners to get into such a situation I think this deceitful practice is totally unacceptable for the Chinese ladies on this site. If these are fairly common events then they are being deceived into believing that these Agencies can find them genuine partners and husbands. And then pay for the introduction whatever the outcome. Please see my latest letter below to "X" site: Dear Freda Thank you for your last Email. I have read the "apologic" letter from the translator but found it to be the typical work of a marriage agency whose sole aim is to get money. Being sorry does not excuse someone for interfering with peoples lives and loves. However since I wrote to you further misdemeanours have come to my notice regarding my correspondence and eventual meeting with Ms Liao Member no. P512085. It has come to my notice that the translator at this Nanning Agency was in the past answering many of my Emails and in doing so deceived me into believing that the answers came from Ms Liao. One instance I can remember is that I received an Email on a Sunday, sent a reply and received a reply at what was in China 11 P.M. the same evening ! When I queried how Miss Liao had received my Email at that time of the night she said that her translator had passed it on to her (although she did not work on a Sunday !). When I visited Nanning and asked Ms Liao about this she said that she did not know anything about it. This is preposterous behaviour on the part of this Agency as they are responsible for taking money from me under false pretences and, no doubt, many other unsuspecting members of "X" site. I say "taking money under false pretences" because as you know a credit is deducted from one's account for each Email (incoming and outgoing.) If you look at my account from November 2006 to February 2007 you will see many Emails (one a day, sometimes two) addressed to Ms Liao. This represents a lot of money! And to think I thought that I had found to woman that I wanted to marry! Furthermore Ms Liao informs me that the Nanning Agency charged her 5300 Yuan for introducing me to her. This was also done under false prentences because it is now obvious to me that the reason for sending so many Emails was to entice me to China to see Ms Liao so that they could get the introduction fee from her. This money should be returned to her because of their deceit. Also when I arrived in Nanning and met Ms Liao, the translator (Chris) asked me time and time again if I would pay her 400 Yuan a day to translate for us. I agreed to pay for my second day there but refused to pay anymore despite her constant requests. If this "fanyi" named Chris feels anything she should be ashamed of herself when she is told that Ms Liao and I have stopped being in contact with each other because Ms Liao did not turn out to be the person I thought I was corresponding with. This is a sad state of affairs .... I only hope that it is not a common situation across "X" site because many of your ladies are being given false hope and being deceived by these money hungry agencies. I think you at "X" should investigate this thoroughly and with some urgency because it may become common knowledge in the near future. Yours Allen |
