Controls ensure that cannot happen. Some people may find it convenient if they have limited time to meet a number of others who are also seeking a partner, but they need to be very careful as scams are common. The numbers may be true. The description isn’t.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

That said my friends were ex pats, not tourists, so it could be true but it certainly isn’t obvious. There are plenty of girls who can and do scam without the need to pay fees to anyone else.
