Recently, due to a friend's involvement, I had cause to investigate the authenticity of an Asian dating site. The site, which I won't link to, because I don't want to improve its search ranking, is asiandate.com, also operating under the domain aliases asiadate.com (i.e. without the "n"), asianbeauties.com and orientbrides.com (more on these alternative domain names later), and redirecting upon registration from the domain marryasianbride.com. My suspicions were aroused by my friend's description of the site: drop-dead gorgeous women everywhere, constantly sending him letters and chat pop-up requests, yet for every letter read after a lady's first, he had to pay ten credits, and ten credits likewise to send a lady a reply letter - instant messaging chats cost one credit per minute after the first three (free) minutes. Credits could be bought at varying rates depending on how many you bought at a time, ranging from $8 per ten credits to $4 per ten credits.Concerned that my friend was being scammed, I did some investigating, and came to the conclusion that yes, he was. After sharing my research with him, he agreed. Here, then, is my research, to warn those considering using asiandate.com against wasting their time and money. My investigations took two forms: direct investigation by registering a fake profile, and indirect investigation by scouring the net for positive/negative reviews. I'll summarise the results of the fake profile first.
