I know a lot of people have asked about dating services and although this story is from the UK, I had a similar experience years ago. Bottom line, don't hire an expensive dating service!
[yahoo.com]
That is why I appreciate this site. There is much more of a sense of community and not exclusively for dating.
After my late wife died in Sept.,I tried about every dating site,lots of interest in me, but most women may has well be on the Moon for the distance involved. Got into some long distance communication from a woman in South Africa, who called me twice(at her expense). Ahh well,lot's of "Might have beens",or "The one that got way"..........
I believe every dating service,is out to make $$$$,preying on the tremendous numbers of lonely people,the divorced,widowed/widower,and the never married, some are free to a point and then require a monthly fee(membership), to be able to send and receive e mails and other means of communication.
Most are full of scammers,keen to separate you from your money,beware of promises of inheritances,Gold,untold wealth and luxury.....
