On behalf of my Indonesian Step-Daughter (who lives in Indonesia) and in an effort to facilitate her finding a suitable husband in Canada, I created a profile on the Adam & Eve Singles website, which included a physical description of her as well as five photos of her in various poses.
Lady Jill is an accomplished model and actress in Indonesia and is therefore relatively affluent in that country. She desires to continue with her career development in Canada/North America but is not interested in a 'Sugar Daddy', however, whoever might be interested to make a committment would be expected to sponsor her for immigration purposes. (Canadian Immigration Law).
I clearly stated that I, as her adoptive Canadian PaPa, was the author of the profile and that I and her mother would screen prospective suitors to weed out anyone who we thought was not genuine; subsequently I/We would forward a short list of men and let her decide who she sould contact.
We were advised that her profile would be posted as soon as it was reviewed by a staff-member of Adam & Eve Singles.
OH contrare: When we logged on to 'the site' to preview and edit the profile if necessary — we were surprized to find that the following advisory:
"Membership Deleted! Your profile has been deleted, as we have discovered that it is fake and fraudulent. This is hereby a formal request for you to cease and desist using our site now or in the future. Ignoring this request will result in strict civil legal action against you. Your actions and movement on our site will be tracked from this point forward and will assist our company in any legal recourse we will have against you."
I wrote to their 'customer service' to express my displeasure and received the following email in reply:
Please feel free to refer to our Terms and Use Agreement, which clearly states that we do not permit this type of misrepresentation or third-party participation on our site. You have violated a number of our rules, actually. Before you continue being resentful and so actively vindictive, we invite you to reflect on the very "Christian ethic" to which you yourself refer. "Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile." Psalm 34:13.
Best of luck to you.

It is true that I did express my displeasure with the accussation that I/We were being fraudulent when we placed Lady's profile; I did advise them that I would 'blog' the incident if necessary and I did suggest that they examine their so-called Christian values before they so off handedly accuse people of fraudulent activity.
As for their 'Terms of Use Agreement' — I did study it and found no article of that document that I/We dishonered. There was no misrepresentaion, nor was their any 'impersonation' as I was completely 'up front' about everything, including the fact that I was writting the profile for and on behalf of Lady, because her English is not good enough and that we wanted to protect her from less than honest suitors.
I replied to Avi as follows:
Avi Martinez: Hi yourself
