I bought addresses from them in 1999.  I met 4 of the women on a trip to Bogota and married one of them.  She was a bad choice by me, but no reflection on SOTB.  They seem completely legit to me.  The other women were also nice, attractive, and eager to pursue a relationship with me.

how does it work? It appears one buys a membership, e.g., 1 month, 2 month , 1 year, etc. Do they give you the addresses for the lady or must you communicate through their office? Thanks.

I haven't bought a membership since 1999.  When I went back to Colombia this year I wanted to use the agency/interview method.  I did no letter writing or phone calling.  Therefore, you will need to check with SOTB to see how their membership works now.

3 years ago I bought a 3 or 6 month membership for so much money, I don't remember the price.  Then they emailed me a computer file with over 1000 women's names, addresses, and phone numbers, and some email addresses.  They matched to the photos on their website by code number.  They were women from various countries in Latin America, but most were from Colombia.  I took the list and wrote or called whoever interested me.

Then every week SOTB sent me a new file by email with the additions for that week, about 50 or so each week.  But that was how they operated in 1999.  Now I don't know.

I bought some address from them back in 99, got some responses. I see 5 or 6 that I wrote to in their 'married' section now (no, they weren't married when I wrote to them). One of the married ones (who had just gotten engaged) fixed me up with her sister.

They give you real home addresses and phone numbers and, if she has it, her email too (about 1/2 of them have email). None of this "but you have to communicate through us (for a fee)" BS. Some of the ladies don't have their own email accout and you write to them in care of the agency, but they don't charge you any extra for that (of course they WILL charge if you want it translated). You don't have to join for a particular length of time, you can "one time" purchase as many or as few (even just one) addresses as you want. The membership lets you get ALL the addresses of the ladies currently there and who join during the time of your membership. They are a legit agency who will do you right, at least on selling addresses, I've never used any of their other services, but neither have I heard any complaints from anyone who did.

Yes but very, very, little. I bought one address and it yielded one response. I'm batting 1000 with them. The only problem was it said she had no kids; but in fact, she had one. It could be because her profile was outdated or?? Either way, I was happy.

I bought some addresses from them back in 99, got good responses. Also called them a couple of times with questions, they were very helpful.

Then I placed my own personal ad with them and got EXCELLENT results. Ad ran for about 6 months, probably received 40 or so responses from a bunch of different countries. Most ladies were very attractive-to- beautiful, many also well educated.
