Fiance.com is pretty good at taking down the profile of any lady who does anything questionable, or shows herself to be anything but interested in finding a guy.
A little twist on the problem though. My lady in Mariupol was listed with a particular agency. When she and I got serious - she visted the agency and had her profile removed. A SISTER agency, however, located in the same city refuses to take her profile down.
My lady has requested three times - she has been told that they prefer to keep her profile up as they prefer to sell information on her again and again. She never receives any information or contact from any of the guys supposedly receiving her information as the agency is good enough (evidently) to do all of her responding and letter writing for her (yes I am being sarcastic).
I have written to the agency asking that they remove my lady's profile or I would report them to scammer websites as a fraudulent agency. Would prefer not to PLAY that game and just have her profile removed - but I will do it if it will do us any good.
Any ideas or suggestions.
(Again this is a NONfiance.com profile - and evidently a nonassociated agency.)
If this is on an Internet website you might try contacting the owner of the server it is hosted on. You can find contact info at http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jsp. If it happens to be a US server just explain to them that a website on their server has personal photos belonging to your friend, they have been ask to remove them and have not. If they are not removed both the agency and the server owner are liable in a law suit.
If it is a server located outside the states then you may have to check and see if they adopted the International copywrite laws on the Internet.
A few weeks back a thread was started by the member desperate. I understand she was successful in this approach threatening to take them to International court in The Hauge but I do not know if she still watches and could give you any info.
jetmba,
OK, such an agency is selling the address to other guys and whilst having her profile removed might avoid these other guys being scammed so perhaps the best way to deter other guys is to name the agency on blacklists, if it is not already named, and name it wherever it might show up on a Google search.
But aside from that I don't believe that you should be personally worried, at an appropriate time in the relationship with my now wife she had, during a break in our relationship, listed with some agencies and she contacted them all to have it removed. But there is still one agency that is listing her profile and selling her contact details, out of date contact details, but neither of us really cares about it. She tried to have it removed and failed and, personally speaking, perhaps I would still like to see it there in 20 years from now just to remember the good old days, a piece of nostalga.
