Contact details scam
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Thorburn

There are more than a few web sites out there that do not provide direct contact details for their men/women to contact each other. In addition to that they censor out any contact information being passed between the people.

Often this fact is buried somewhere in the fine print.

Given that these are sites for people looking to get married, it seems to me that this is another form of scam. It might be more correctly called a wrot but let's not split hairs.

People looking to get married obviously want to contact each other directly to advance/develop their relationship. At the very least the couple will want to telephone each other.

Is there something I am missing?

That is because they make money out of keeping the two contacting each other through the website, and charging for it, if they give contact details out they loose their hold over the couple. Some will eventually give you her contact details but you have to push them, some will not and you have to devise other ways to contact them and /or find out their real contact information.

From my experience I would never use a site again that does not let you just contact the ladies direct, they have too much control over the correspondence and therefore they can interfere with what is being said and also can dictate how much you have to spend with them to get anywhere.

Sites like EM that sell contact details or the ladies information IMO are the best, much easier and cheaper long term and there are no hidden agenda's. eg writing letters on ladies behalf to entice men to write back and therefore spend money etc etc

Yes, some agencies are very secretive with their info. They tend to be the dodgy ones and i would avoid them. they can get nasty even when you tryto stand up for yourself and do things with the lady not through them (i know, i work as a guide and tranlstor in ukraine and see it happen). keep with agencies that are more willing to give out info!
