I just posted a message in the thread of a query on this web site (ScamWarners) where a comment was recommending checking out the very useful site 'dragonladies.org' for information and assistance in dealing with potential or known Asian (specifically Chinese and Filipina) on-line dating scammers. I will summarize in this topic area what I wrote.
Initially (starting I think about mid to late March, 2016, maybe a little earlier) attempting to go to http://dragonladies.org ended at a page from the website's host indicating the web site had been suspended and requested the DL.org webmaster to contact them. Then about mid April, 2016, the URLs http://dragonladies.org and http://www.dragonladies.org actually started opening a home page, but definitely not the correct one. The bottom line is that the original DL.org site has disappeared and the domain name taken over by a totally different home page, that seems to vary, with various internal links, and the web site is now essentially a promotion for various on-line dating sites plus an odd assortment of other businesses. In other words there is nothing of the original 'dragonladies.org' web site remaining. I have done some network-based investigation and I don't think that this is a case of the domain name(s) having been high-jacked, but I have no inside information about what has happened and whether the old DL.org will ever resurface. The original website had several admins (from what I know) but only C.A.B. (insiders in this community will know whom I'm referring to) actually was a frequent poster in the DL forums. I do not have any way of contacting him or the other principals behind DL.org although I do know that a few years ago one or more of the admins of DL set up the on-line dating site 'AsianLonelyHearts.com'; it is still on-line, although it doesn't seem very active, but I cannot be sure whether the originals are still running it.
By posting this here this important information will be available in a searches at this web site (as well as through Google) and hopefully that will alert people trying to reach the old DL.org web site to what has happened.
