Nancy, David, or whoever everybody is - I must let you know that I am lucky to be one who is well off enough to afford your purpored services as is my friend who often logged on to confirm we were being played by chnlove. I don't recommend those who lost their jobs to go to chnlove at all.
That said, you are missing the point of many here. It's about principle and, at least in the western world, about the law. I would no sooner pay money to a dishonest person (translator actin) than pay $6-7,000 for a 'surprise' cost even if I were eventually matched.
Honesty remains the foundation for commercial transactions, not unlike that in a serious relationship. As expressed, how logical is it for someone to pay great expense only to expect to have to begin the 'real' relationship, later? I don't accept that fraud is inevitable. As Sparky and others asked, what 'service' then are these huge sums paying for? Some may not like using the word scam, but, unfortunately, I would have to, too.
It is never good business practise to falsify information, or undertake dubious attempts to prop up legitimacy, as you appear to be doing. You are doing a great disservice, and I, again, I can appreciate the anger on the board.
I do not naively expect to recoup my own losses, but I do ask that you stop misrepresenting, face any restitution or penalties due, and look at apologizing to those wronged.
Oh, boy. Thanks for the entertainment. :D
