I thought I share this with the brotherhood.
Well, just about a week ago I was in Shenzhen and decided to check out one of the local agencies. I contacted Chnlove and asked addresses of Shenzhen agencies.
They wrote back with the addresses of two agencies, adding that these were the only two agencies they were working with in Shenzhen. Shortly afterwards I found at least one more agency posting profiles on their website!
Anyway, I decided to visit agency P508 and took a short list of possible matching profiles with me to their office. I was met at the agency dood by one of the senior translators and taken into a small back office where I was introduced to the boss,; an interesting fast talking lady.
After asking me a few personal questions, I gave her my list of profiles and asked her to see if I could meet one of the girls. By the way, all the girls I selected from their website said they could speak fair/good English and were living in Shenzhen.
She quickly went through the list and eliminated the girls one by one saying that they were either not able to communicate in English or were not living in Shenzhen. This obviously contradicted what was stated on their profiles. Anyway, she suggested that I meet a girl who was a friend of hers who could speak good English and she had known for a long time. At this point, I was beginning to get suspicious about her honesty and intentions. I asked her how come that I didn’t find this girl on the Chnlove website when I was going though their profiles. She said, her profile is hidden because she is too busy with work........ I didn't believe this, but thought to myself, well, what have i got to lose and therefore agreed to the meeting.
For some strange reason, she wanted to hold on to my note with the list of profiles and scribbled the girl's phone number on a piece of paper and asked me to contact her in the evening as she would have finished work then. So i left the agency somewhat disappointed.
I called the girl when I got back to my hotel and we agreed to meet the next day at a Starbucks near where she worked, which was about 5 minute taxi ride from the hotel.
Well, the girl turned out to be sweet and intelligent but no where near what i was looking for in terms of physical attractiveness. After chatting for about an hour and half over hot chocolate I walked to the metro and said good bye to her. I think it was also clear to her that was our last meeting.
Anyway, I used the feedback option on the agency's profile and rated them based on my experience but guess what there no record of my feedback on their profile. I wrote to Chnlove and expressed my disappointment that their agency rating system is nothing more than a false PR bullshit. They wrote back as usual saying that delay in loading up my feedback was due to some technical error and the mistake has now been rectified. I have just checked the agency website, they don't appear to have had anything but overwhelming positive feedback from gentlemen customers, what a joke.
If Chnlove is not even honest about something as simple as this feedback system, which after all was their idea for monitoring cowboy agencies, how could we trust them to give us honest service for our money? I just about had enough of Chnlove
