Home based 'helpers/brokers/translators' who operate profiles on Asian Dating sites.

This is something you need to watch for with profiles for ladies from China, and Thailand.
In China, there are 'translator/brokers' who set up profiles for ladies on dating sites, for payment! The profile and lady may be real, or fake.
If real, the lady in the profile, may not speak any english, the 'translator/broker' may set up the profile, and communicate with the man, pretending to be the lady in the profile. This person will also eventually need to be paid, usually by the man. Who won't be presented a bill until the hook is well set!)
Some of the same happens in Thailand, and possibly VietNam. I do know there are 'brokers' operating for girls in Thailand.
I recently ran into a lady in Vietnam doing the same, whether or not she expects to be paid, or if the man pays, I don't know?
Make sure you are in contact directly with any lady you are interested in! This means, see her on cam, make sure she is the one typing, and also speak to her on the phone.
I've also heard of Chinese ladies, in the US, helping 'friends' back home find Western husbands, online. Sometimes they are transparent, other times, not.
You can't buy these ladies. Many are looking for residency in a better country, and financial security. Some are willing to do anything to get to your country. Too many of the resulting marriages are very short, traumatic, and expensive. BE CAREFUL!

Do you realize a majority of the pictures used in internet Romance scams, are stolen?

Most of the pictures used in internet romance scams are stolen, and do not depict the person who is actually scamming you, or trying to!
Scammers steal pictures of anyone, from the internet. Pretty people, plain looking people, and sometimes even ugly people.
If you are serious about finding a new love, using online means, you must see a face on cam, and often. I'm always surprised when I talk to a scam victim who has been in 'love' with a set of stolen pictures for months, and sometimes, years, and never saw a face on live webcam!
I strongly suggest you limit your search to people who are willing and able to show a face on cam, and somewhat often. (Not just one time for a few seconds)
This will help you avoid a majority of the scams where the scammer is using stolen pictures, and occasionally, has a few seconds, or minutes, or recorded video of 'that' face, they can play over a webcam. (Making it appear that person is live, and on cam)
Google the email address, and other data they give you. (name, address, phone number)

Learn to use Google Image search! Check every picture your new friend uses, or sends you. Do you really want to waste time to find out later you have been chattting to a reported scammer, or somebody else using stolen pictures?
DO NOT CONFRONT THE SCAMMER IF YOU FIND INFORMATION THAT SHOWS WHO, and WHAT, they are!
You were already falling, at least partially, for the 'story' they tell. The scammers are somewhat adept at claiming THEY are the victim of identity fraud, also!
You are emotionally attached, they will push your buttons. I've seen too many victims WAFFLE, when sufficient evidence is right in front of them, they are being SCAMMED.
BREAK OFF CONTACT!
It's unlikely you will ever see any of your money back, regardless of what people will tell you. There are also many scams built around your hopes of getting some money back, or revenge on the scammer. You will often be contacted out of the blue by some fake police agency or entity who will claim they can prosecute the scammer, and possibly get some of your money back. This is a scam, and the person doing this is the same scammer you sent money to in the first place.
Don't be a fool!
DragonLadies.org is re-building the 'gallery' of female Asian scammer pictures.
Click here to visit the Dragonladies.org Gallery!
Viewing a large number of pictures like this in the hopes of seeing 'your' scammer is not very productive, but the gallery serves as a demonstration that many of the pictures are stolen, and many of the ladies online who ask for money, are not after love, but MONEY!
Don't send money! Real, decent ladies, will not ask. Don't be a sucker!

idatevietnamese.com Keep out!

idatevietnamese.com is a site operated by the same people as pinaydarlings.com. The site has very few vietnamese as menmbers, and does not screen out 'fake' profiles set up by West African scammers. The laughable thing is, some of these scammer profiles are 'featured members'.
There's no excuse to run a dating site like this.

AffectionatelyAsia.com Warning Keep out!

I've just begun looking at AffectionatelyAsia.com, but see some indications of major problems. Most of the 'ladies' on the site from the USA, are fake, or scammers. Some of the profiles appear to be that of West African scammers, others possibly Filipino 'Chatters, fraudsters who lure men to paid porn sites, while posing as sexy ladies who are interested in them.
There's really no excuse for having these obviously fake profiles on a site, but many sites don't care, or actually create the fake profiles themselves, or encourage fake profiles from scammers. Why? It makes the site look busier, and more profiles of pretty people, real or fake, draw more people as members. They're playing you for a chump. They know you are too stupid or lovestruck to know the difference.
Here we have 'Tara' from Beverly Hills, CA. Cute girl. The girl in the picture is actually Misa Campo, a hottie model whose pictures are frequently used by scammers. This is a screenshot of 'her' profile at AffectionatelyAsia.com
Guys, and Ladies, there is no reason to stay in contact with somebody who won't show a face on webcam, and no reason to ever send money to somebody you only know from the internet.
More info on stolen pictures of Misa Campo at Dragonladies.org

'Mature' Asian ladies, do you realize you are a target for scammers?

West African scammers are increasingly looking for middle-aged or older 'Asian' ladies to scam. While you may think you may not have enough money to attract scammers, the few hundred dollars they can extract from you, is sufficient reason they will target you.
West African scammers are generally young, black males, from the nations of Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Senegal, and Ghana.
They will pretend to be anyone, or anything, online. When they try to scam middle-aged ladies, they pretend to be anything from handsome soldiers, to middle-aged businessmen and professionals.
The pictures they use are STOLEN, and the real person in the pictures is not who you are in contact with, or has anything to do with the scam.
The 'stolen' picture aspect is one primary reason you must insist on seeing a face on webcam, and not accept any excuses for not seeing this person on cam.
Scammers will not be able to show 'that face' on a webcam, with the exception of a few scammers who have short videos of 'that' person, or a person who looks similar, they can feed over a webcam, making it appear that person is live, and on cam.
The 'recordings' are usually easy to detect, if you pay attention. They will repeat, or will be of short duration, and the scammer will claim they are having 'cam' problems. If you are in contact with a real person, and hope for a real relationship with them, it is normal to expect to see that person often on webcam.
There is no excuse to not show a face on webcam. Most modern laptops have them, many or most home computers, and most internet cafes, also.
A person serious about finding 'love' online, will have a cam.

These scammers will often claim to be affluent, and world travelers. This gives them excuses to be stranded in various remote countries, and ask you for financial help.
Do not send money! Real 'world travelers' have resources for emergencies like this, and can always contact the embassy of the nation they claim to be from for help.
Rich men, and men who work for large, international corporations, have resources for emergencies, and just need to make a phone call. Don't send money!

These scammers may also claim they are on the way to meet you, in your country, and ask you to accept a package they are sending you. Do not give your address, or pay fees for a 'package'. They may claim the package contains gifts for you, family treasures, funds they are trying to hide, or materials they need for the work they claim they do. You will be asked to pay 'courier' or customs fees for the FAKE package, to FAKE courier, or customs people. There is no package!
The sole purpose of this 'package' is to extract money from you. No other reason. No love. No real person. It's a scam.

They may talk to you on the phone, and give you a phone number to contact them with that is appropriate for where they claim to be, or from. Please remember, it is very easy to set up 'fake' phone numbers, for any city or country in the world. I can set up a phone number that is for China, the UK, USA, or anywhere, and be anywhere in the world.
If you talk to them on the phone, you may notice the English they speak has an accent? They will claim the accent is due to them being raised outside the US or UK, due to 'mixed' parents. If you are not an native speaker of english, you may not notice the accent isn't 'right', but most native speakers of english are not fooled.
I have talked to Asian ladies who have lost life savings to these scammers. Whatever money you have, or can get, is important to them, as it is to you.
West African scammers may also try to get you involved in money laundering, or depositing fake checks or money orders. This may be under the guise of a 'work at home' opportunity, or as a favor for the fake man, who claims to love you. He may say he has paychecks from a company in your country he is having difficulty cashing, and ask you to do it, and send him the proceeds, by Western Union. Please, don't do this! The checks are fake, and will not be detected as such,until after you have sent him the money. You will be repsonsible for reimbursing the funds to the bank, and may be prosecuted for fraud!
There are some real, nice people, online, hoping to meet other real, nice people. I am not trying to scare you, just warn you to not waste time on fake or fraudulent people, and be smart when using the internet to meet people.
Two sites that can help you with scammers, are:

Philippine-singles.com KEEP OUT!

Philippine-singles.com is a paid dating site that not only is crawling with scammers, and other fake profiles, but spams to advertise the lousy sites they operate. Keep away from philippin-singles.com! More info here

Is a paid dating site any safer, or better?

I have extensive experience with internet romance scams, and familiar with the workings of many major, internet dating sites, both free, and paid.
I have found most paid dating sites are no safer than free ones.
The keys to a safe site are the willingness of the staff to check new profiles, monitor the site activity, and actually have some knowledge of internet romance scammers, modes, and traits.
While most sites will claim to be safe, they are not.
You always need to protect yourself from scammers, and not assume the site is making any real effort to keep scammers out. They don't!
Screening for scammers takes a modest amount of time, which most sites do not wish to spend.
I find it inexcusable that many sites simply do not care about the safety of the members.
There's no reason to have a site full of profiles with stolen pictures of celebrities, other than to play the members for suckers, and make money from them.
Maybe you are thinking 'this is a free site, how do they make money?'
If you notice on most dating sites, as well as other websites, there are various banner ads. These banner ads pay the site owner for clicks, and/or sales derived from a person clicking on the banner, and purchasing a product or service. This can be very lucrative if you have a high amount of traffic.
More traffic=more money
I have seen many large, dating sites that are full of fake profiles. Fake profiles of pretty people, generate more paying members, or traffic. More paying members, or more traffic=more money.
If the profile is truly fake, you will never get that person to respond to you.
If a profile using a stolen picture responds, or contacts you, you are generally in contact with a scammer!
There is a large network of 'paid' dating sites that have pages of pages of pretty, sexy ladies, all who are fake. A man will join, and get flooded with messages from sexy ladies. To reply to them, he has to pay for each message. The lady is totally fake, the purpose of the sites are to make money by these fake messages. Period. The people writing the messages, and pretending to be the pretty lady in the pictures, is actually a college student, male or female, or other person, making a living writing these messages....OR....the messages are actually 'pre-written'.
Most of us in Western countries would not want to make a living writing messages to lonely men for $1-2 dollars, each, but, for a person in a developing country, where a monthly income of $300 a month is a living wage, making money this way is attractive.
I strongly recommend you avoid most paid dating sites, even if you do not patronize my site.
What do you need to do to protect yourself on any dating site?
Never send money to somebody you only know from the internet, or phone calls!
Safeguard your personal data! (Full name, address, phone number, email account that is connected to your Facebook account, and/or you use for personal business, and family.)
Always expect to see 'that face' on webcam!
I'm always amazed that SCAM VICTIMS can go months or years, talking to a scammer, using stolen pictures, and never expect to see a live face on cam. They'll send thousands of dollars to fake people, and accept the various BS stories about 'No cam' the scammer gives.
If the person can get on the internet, they can use a cam. There are no valid excuses.
Seeing a face on cam is an important filtering tool you must learn to use.
If a person won't show a face on cam, and often, you need to assume they are fake, or hiding something. Be polite, but demand to see a face on cam.
Scammers will come up with many excuses, or ask you to send money to them so they can buy a cam.
Don't do it!
Be careful!

Why should I use a smaller dating site, that is monitored?

Many dating sites inflate the numbers of 'online members', to make the site appear to be busier. This is very common, and easy for the webmaster to do, via the site controls.
Ok, so the site looks 'busy', but in reality, there are much fewer, real people on the site, at that time.
Many dating sites also 'seed' the site with fake members, to make the site look more active, and busy.
Do you know if you want to start a new dating site, it is possible to BUY fake profiles, to 'seed' the site?
I've looked at, and been a member or hundreds of dating sites, either for research, and sometimes as a 'real' member.
Many people seem to be happy with the sites, including many 'paid' sites, that are full of profiles of pretty people, even when the profiles are fake. Wouldn't you rather be a member of a site which is full of real people, you may actually have a chance to talk to?
At AsianLonelyHearts.com, we will screen the new members for scammers, fakes, and 'problem' people, and monitor the activity on the site, without invading the privacy or security of the real people who are members.
I will take the time to do this, which will also mean the site will be slower to grow than most dating sites, and the site will never become a huge, mega site with hundreds of thousands of people, mostly who are fake.
I prefer my members to have a safe experience in internet dating and friendship, and not waste time on fake people or scammers.

Asianlonelyhearts.com is a new, free safe, Asian dating site

Asianlonelyhearts.com is a new, free, safe, Asian dating site, operated by an expert in internet romance scams. All profiles will be screened by staff, this is something most sites don't do. All features and services of the site are free for use by registered members, including chat, blogs, and messaging other members.
Most dating sites make no effort to keep members safe. Asianlonelyhearts is different. We know how to spot most internet dating scammers, and are constantly on the lookout for new modes and trends.
Why waste your money and time on a paid site that only cares about money?
I have been actively involved in anti-scam work for seven years, and will continue to be involved.
Please remember, never send money to somebody you only know from the internet, or phone calls.
I'm not just a webmaster, I have many good friends I have met online, and hope to make more.
Please be careful, and give AsianLonelyhearts a look.
We are in need of new, real members! Unlike most new dating sites, we won't seed the site with hundreds of fake profiles to look busy, and attract new members.
This means the site will grow slowly, at first.
That's OK. I'm happier with a handful of real people as members, than hundreds of fake or 'scammer' members.
Good luck, I hope you join us, and happy hunting!
