Stop scamming online AFA,as a former Law enforcement officer they are going to scam the wrong guy who snaps and i'm being honest.I believe the socials are real because I have step brothers and sister who are from there (PH)The people are really great.However I believe AFA online operation is 90% scam and I tried it a little for the experience and the vibe wasn't good.

Received this unsolicited email last year from 'a former insider', and after 9 years fruitless searching and 000's dollars spent, can confirm much of what is stated here by this whistleblower:
"Dear Valued AFA & Amorcita clients,
I’m writing to you with a heavy heart and a strong sense of duty. You have joined AFA dating platform with genuine hopes of finding love, connection, and honesty. Unfortunately, it’s time to reveal the truth behind the agency’s operations — truths that have been hidden from you and which directly affect your trust, your time, and your money.

Here’s what you need to know:

1. Many of the women’s profiles on this site are not genuine.
These women are paid to be there — they are not sincerely looking for a partner. Instead, they are financially incentivized for each letter you open, for every photo or video you view, and for the interactions you believe to be real. They also receive payment for attending dates when men come to visit them in person. This is not organic communication — it is a manufactured, profit-driven operation.

2. You are not speaking directly with these women.
There is a team of employees behind the scenes managing the communication. What you believe to be personal messages from a woman you’re interested in are often crafted by hired staff trained to keep you engaged — and spending money.

If you’re reading this, you deserve to know the truth. I urge you to think critically about your interactions, demand transparency, and protect yourself from further harm. The entire infrastructure is built to extract money from men while selling a fantasy — not to help anyone find real love.

Spread the word. Protect each other. Enough is enough.

Sincerely,
A Former Insider Who Can No Longer Stay Silent"

Cota Rica was my first tour. First time out of the States. This was actually all new to me. All new experience, everything. I didn't know what to do expect at first. But I knew it was going to be good. Once I got there, everything ran smoothly. It was just great. I can't believe how awesome this trip was. I definitely would recommend this for sure to the guys that have been thinking about it

The filipina ladies were the best. I've traveled all over the world, that's all I can tell you. Age difference doesn't seem to matter in the Philippines in dating context as much as it does in other countries. I believe that Cebu women and Filipinas in general, are looking for their soul mates. It doesn't matter what the age is one way or the other. And AFA gives you this opportunity to meet dozens of them and you just have to show up, I've experienced their services and I can safely say they have top services in this industry

I am grateful for AFA and would like to say I was treated good by the office staff at the Cebu office when I was there last summer.

Don't use them. Long story short, I signed up to their services to increase my chances of finding a partner.
Months go by and I'm just about to sue them. I had a case and a legal team ready, when they admitted that they were at fault and that all their claims are basically fraudulent. They refunded all monies I paid to them.

It's a very shady, corrupt company. My opinion is that they're hiding a lot of dirty laundry. That's why they avoided going to court because they didn't want their corruption to be exposed even further.

Just don't use it. This is a scam and they are possibly involved in illegal activities. They're not who they say they are. The owner John Adams is not someone to be trusted and is likely involved in some questionable activities.

I am very skeptical about this agency.
I initially did give it a try because I went to one of their offices, in Cartagena, Colombia.
Later, I started to write a few letters and as I am planing to return to Colombia soon, I was trying to set up a meeting. I was, however, cautious as I never felt fully confident that this whole thing was not a scam.
I contacted 5 ladies. All responded very (very) quickly. Considering that they say that a letter gets translated, then send to the lady, send needs an answer, that will be translated and sent back to me, I was surprised by 1) how fast it happened, and 2) everytime it was the speed, as if everyopne is just waiting for my letter and immediately translates, writes, etc.
Second strange thing: all 5 ladies never send personal question. Huge red flag when you consider that we are communicating with the purpose of perhaps spending the rest of our lifes together
Third strange thing: all 5 ladies always send 5 photos (that you need to pay for, of course). And always 5, never 3, 4, 6 or whatever
Fourth strange thing: I proposed to meet with 2 of them, as I am going to their city in less that one month. Suddenly, they are not available. THough I did not provide my travel itineray, one just said that she would not be in Cartagena during my 2 weeks there, but did not tell me where she would be (since I am travalling there, I could very well be in whereever she will be). This of course indicates that there was never any intend or interest in meeting and that this was just a scam to make me spend money on letters. I also wrote to the AFA contact, and suddenly, no response from hereeither. This would strongly suggest that none of the ladies are real. P

My feeling: someone writes the letters for all the women. It is an employee's job and that person does not translated as he/she understands English. That's why it is so quick.

So yes, at this point, I believe 99% that the letter and then meeting in person thing is scam. They make good money with letters and photos.

So my advide: DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICES

It's an utter scam. 10.00 per letter and guess what, the ladies will not leave the site to communicate. The site operator also provides weekend trips to meet women (international travel, big bucks etc so the sucker feels like there's value?!) and that'may be legit, presuming the ladies there are willing to divulge personal contact info...I have my doubts, given how sleazy the online portion of the service operates. So the advice? Run. Run far far away.

A foreign affair aka (love me.com) & (Manila-women.com) run a scam scheme where they pay the very good looking women for photos and personal information so that their staff or interpreters write and reply on behalf of them. The purpose is to get you ‘hooked’ in. They even get the girl to create a video so that it all seems viable and true. Well it’s not. You think your writing to the girl but your not. You’re communicating to anyone but the girl. They entice you in by writing every day and more than once a day, they write lies - anything to get you to reply or purchase the attached photos. Don’t fall for it. It’s very expensive. Not sure if all the girls are doing this but definitely the attractive ones. If they reply quickly back to you and try and entice to write 3 times a day, it’s a scam! Don’t spend another penny. It’s not the girl you’re writing to.

What went wrong is the matchmakers never sent my photos or anything related to what I wrote to the match...yet I was charged for sending my photos...photos and what you type is important because the women cannot see your profile.

John Adams admitted in this case the matchmakers just write letters to both parties, like an old 900 pay-per-minute party line lol. So I contacted customer service to at least send my photos to the woman with my original short message.

I was then contacted by a person claiming to be John Adams (owner??) and a person named Liz who admitted the matchmaker never sent my letter or pictures and promised a full refund (~$60).

Then a few days later I was contacted by a person named Noelia B. who stated I would not be getting a full refund, but rather a letter-sending credit of $9.99.....so I can read the letter for free when the woman will write me again.....but cust service said she is not interested and will not be writing again.....

So, while I certainly appreciate the customer service response, at the end of the day I paid for pictures to be sent to the woman and they were never sent, and not surprisingly the woman said she was not interested.

So, I'm out $60 bucks. I'll just date local Colombianas.

After spending thousand of dollars and wasting months , I found this review site and found I'm not alone. Stay away. I didn't do a tour with them. That may be the only thing that is real. I looked into a Columbian tour, contacted the only 2 women that looked attractive and they both said I was too old. Both admitted they couldn't see my profile.

After 2 years and spending more than $20000 on gifts and communication with women, I gave up. The women, even after chatting daily for months on video and through email always say "we need more time to get to know each other", one woman alone took up $10000 dollars of my money and months of my time. I found out after I booked a trip to Mexico to see her that she "still needed more time to get to know me", then called me Brain, that's not my name (after 8 months proving she is mass chatting men to make money) so I started a search on her online. Turns out she was very accomplished, and very high profile online and on more than 20 different dating sites. She had 300000 facebook followers and after I asked about it she blocked me from being a friend, blocked her instagram and everything else, problem is I looked at all of it before I told her and saw everything.
Most of these women work for the site, if they look like they are out of your league then they are, one even told me that they have a quota of 5 emails a month to several guys even if they don't reply and they gain some sort of benefit from the site. These are gold diggers, I proved that easily. I am very well off and was looking for a family oriented woman that didn't see the money but liked me for who I am, I acted like i was struggling a bit and not one woman on this site was interested in love, just what I could offer, or an escape from their war torn countries. Any man can buy a woman, finding a woman these days that loves her man for the man he is .....very rare indeed.
After a 3 month break from the site i logged in and my accumulated travel credits, almost $1500 disappeared....hmmmmm can you prove this isn't a scam.
The guys posting about their weddings are mostly millionaires (i looked them up) and unless you tell the women there that you are one too you will have little success (this is a true mail order bride site). My experiment proved this, so I got on a plane a flew to Asia and met my current wife, out on the streets, and in person, an amazing woman that loves me for me, not what I can provide, I met her, played broke and she still loved me for who I am. Now I am happily married and know its not because I have money, but because my wife truly loves me. Stay away from this online garbage with women that wear enough make up to cover Medusa up and endless plastic surgery and plastic additives, they are fake for the most part, only want your money and clout.
What happened to my benefits from spending 20000 dollars on this site, the credits just disappeared. I was going to travel with them but since they disappeared i guess not.

I have dealt with a lot of dishonest businesses and people over the last 30 years owning numerous businesses.
Irma # 192200 is a SCAMMER she either works for A Foreign Affairs directly or is on commission. Look on BBB reviews and that tell the story 1.85 STARS!!! WOW!
I'm sure not all of the women are scammers!

The owner of this dating site, John Adams, is a snake. He makes it clear that he thinks client's should not overdue it when it comes to letter writing ( that takes the responsibility off of him and put's it on the client).
However, at the same time he makes a good profit off the exchanging of letters. It costs $ 9.99. to open a womans letter and any photos sent by the lady are an extra fee. I was surprised to find out that he's offering tours to war ravaged Ukraine. So, you have two choices. Pay for endless letter exchanges or take a chance of getting yourself killed on the Ukraine tour. Either way, the owner of AFA puts money in his pocket. "There's a sucker born every minute." 🤑

I registrered myself on the netsite loveme.com who is the same people as a-foreign-affair.net 7/2-23. I started as a standard member but upgraded it fast to platina member to get its advantaces as their decription on their netsite. It went good for 1 day. I had full access, and browsed a lot of beatiful georgeous women. The day after i couldnt get access on my member site. When you register you got an verification email right after, and I did click on it, and I've got an email approved!. I found an link to customers care on a-foreign-affair-net site and ask the woman why I can't access. She think a moment and said: this is some tecnical issues and I received a link to claim my problems, and so I did. I also asked her how to call them (they have phonenr. on the netsite, but when i call the number is not in use. She give me that number with some prefix to add the number. (why cant they have that number on the netsite? anywhay I suspect from that moment something is wrong and until today almost 14 days after sending my claim nothing has happened! I have not been given any confirmation about my email to tecnical support, havent heard a thing from them. I off course used my Visa card when suscribed, and there is a monthly fee every 30 days. I sent them a Final notice to open up my member site given them until today to clean up, if not, I going to give them bad reputation on Trustpilot. I have still not heard a thing. So therefore guys I wrote this warning. Keep out of these two netsites, a foreign affair and loveme, they are the same, the same scam people behind it. Keep your money. When women like in there are as beatiful as in there, that is not true. I just falled for them. Now i warn all you guys out there, not think with your dick, use your head!. Scam Scam, Fake, Fake. (this is a true story from a respectable guy in Europe who dreamed about their trips to Slavic country finding a woman).

I have tried this site, and the women are not genuine. I was suckered in, I will admit, but my best advice is to avoid this waste of money website.
