I decided to test this site. After having set up my profile I immediately started receiving 'you have a new admirer' mails.
As reported here, all the mails were somehow doubtful and excessive. Within 48 hours from launch I got a mail from an 'admirer' who claimed that she had had already considered writing to me for several days. I bought 10 credits for USD 50 and started correspondence with this 'admirer'.
In her first response I was already 'my dear' and love was deepening. In addition, she wrote that she had already decided to pay a visit to my country. The trip was to take place next month, after the completion of an important project she was currently working on (as an architect).
Although she appeared to be extremely busy due to her work and the English lessons she was attending in the evening, replies came fast, and they were even relatively long.
But when I suggested exchanging emails and phone numbers to facilitate communication the response was that she could not monitor her personal email regularly because she was so busy. That's why she preferred using the EMF mail. She did not explain what made the EMF route faster, however.
I my last mail I explicitly mentioned that I had decided to stop using the EMF mail service because I believed that the translators or chnlove staff were writing on her behalf without informing her at all. Again, I urged her to provide her personal email address and assured that there is no danger for her.
Still got her reply. Of course, she claimed that she had received all my mails and that she had replied to them personally - though she did not deny using translator services.
To my surprise the response mail also contained a yahoo.cn email address. She stressed that should I decide to write directly to her, her responses might get delayed because she was so busy. I sent mail to this new yahoo address, but (expectedly) have not got any response (the mail systems does not return my mails either so it seems to be an existing account - I just do not know whose).
An interesting thing happened: I stopped receiving 'you have a new admirer' mails. This suggests that chnlove is somehow involved in this scam. If one agency recognizes that their bluff doesn't work any longer, how come the others stop approaching me, too?
Speculation: agencies may share information on particular user accounts using the chnlove system. Perhaps my account has been classified as 'infidel' or something, Other network agencies presumably scan accounts for such comments before approacing account holders. If they operate in the scam mode, they won't waste their energy on infidels. And even if they were basically honest, they know that trying to convert an infidel is likely to fail and therefore not worth the investment.
I do not complain. A good and entertaining lesson of Chinese capitalism for USD 50.
