[quote=GUEST21156,346119]Hi Jeff, I just read your post about chnlove.com here as well as on another site and I am even more concerned now. I just returned fron China a few weeks ago and I too met my girlfriend through chnlove.com. While I was there, she mentioned 42,000 yen which is almost $6,000 that had to be paid to the agency upon our marriage. i wasn't clear about what she said because she can't speak English very well and I speak no Chinese so it kind of got lost in other happenings. I am planning to marry her the last part of XXXXXXXXXXXX and now that I have thought about it more, I am concerned about threats to her family and a lawsuit against me. I have also heard about this scam from a friend who has a girlfriend in Chengdu. She also brought up the money, but when he said he wouldn't pay for a woman, she clammed up and went undergroung and now he is in denial. Have you heard anything from the Chinese government or our consulate about the letter you wrote to them? What else are you doing to protect yourself against them. I am to go back there in xxxxxxx and it's going to require all the restraint I have to keep from going to the local chnlove office and confronting whoever. I'm not sure what to do, but I know I don't want to end up in a chinese jail cell so I may just cancel the marriage until I can get some help with this situation. I feel like I will be punishing her by canceling the marriage, but it seems marriage will only make things worse. There are bad times here in the USA as you may well know. Not being able to sell any real estate and the stock market being way down, I am in enough trouble financially just traveling there and getting married without an additional debt I really knew nothing about and I certainly didn't sign any documents. In there disclaimer, a person would wonder if chnlove was doing any business with the local agencies. They say they do not authorize any 3rd party organization including without limitation, those local marriage agencies, to charge chnlove members for any reason with or without the name of chnlove. It also says I am totally responsible for any transaction between me and the local agency. I guess that also mean whether I know about the transaction or not What a crock, no doubt they get a big chunk of the money.[/quote]
