Online Dating in Ireland “If you can call it that?”

Apart from it´s debt crisis the Irish have recently been in the spotlight. It is estimated that in Ireland that 15% of civil marriages there are sham. It is said to be the European hub of human trafficking, a really disgusting business which should carry much higher terms in prison for convicted criminals in this inhuman trade in people. Apparently it is now becoming know as “Devil´s Ireland”. Well there was also the scandal with some of the Irish clergy molesting children wasn´t there in the past?

 .

It is said that most of these brides are from Latvia and the Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Svetlana Biseneince says “We have repeatedly asked your Government to introduce simple measures to tackle the problem” a senior official until 2009 to her counterpart in Ireland. The response to date has been minimal.

 .

Latvia has a 22% unemployment rate with many families surviving on the equivalent of three hundred euros. Latvia´s journalist Aleksandra Jolkina is investigating the trafficking of the Latvian women to Ireland. Her research reveals that rape and sexual exploitation and inappropriate marriages are the norm and that many of the victims have escaped from their marriage mentors, the Garda´s National Immigration Bureau have a case book full of distressing stories.

 .

Unlike online dating agencies, the women are tricked into going to Ireland with the promise of a job and when they arrive they are coerced into marriage. In 2006 when it was first brought to light girls were offered ten thousand euros to participate in a sham marriage but this has now dropping apparently to two thousand. In Spain a few years ago the fee was six thousand and I have been offered this sum of money by someone in Morroco and subsequently from Thailand. I refused as I said that I could only marry for love, not money, but I suppose that there are people that are tempted

 .

In Dublin it is said that fake companies had been set up to provide Latvian women with work records, obviously fake, in order that they can marry a non EU National. In their ignorance that are not aware of how difficult it will be to obtain a divorce and we are sure that they are not told of the costs involved if they could get one.

 .

According to Irish records of the 266 marriage applications made by Pakistanis 115 of these were applications to marry Latvian women. From our statistics we are well aware of the interest in women from the Ukraine by Turkish, Iranian and Pakistani men. I can quite understand that a lady from Latvia or Eastern Europe should be very careful about who she marries and indeed I would go as far as to say forget online dating agencies well alone in the light of several years experience in investigating it.

useful links which will hopefully help Aleksandra Jolkina in her fight agains human trafficking

Online dating – Anglo Spanish scam

It is said to be a six million euro escort scam linked to Toni Muldoon based in Fuengirola. Costa del Sol Southern Spain. Suffolk (England) Trading Standards have been trying to have Muldoon arrested in regard to multiple websites (28) many of which are registered in Spain.

Adorabelles – European Escorts – Date Angels – Diamond Companions – Delightful Stars are some of the websites mentioned. One complaint stated about Candy Escorts “They found me a client and I had to pay 250 euros to register. The same afternoon my client cancelled and they haven´t contacted me since.” When the English newspaper the Mirror contacted the agency a spokesman described the complaint as “absolute nonsense”. The Mirror is said to have traced Candy Escorts to Marketing Management which it claims is Toni Muldoon´s holding company based in Fuengirola.

It is said that the same fraudsters are said to be involved in a debt elimination scam where the company “Park Lane Services” also operating out of Fuengirola., would cold call prospective clients, offering them debt eradication using loopholes in the law, presumably the money lending act, for a fee of 500 euros.

Toni Muldoon lives in a Villa in Benalmadena., 10 kms from Fuengirola, drives a Mercedes Benz and owns a yacht. He is known as an infamous time share boss and the Olive Press when investigating him earlier this year it was also found that he was also involved in a company offering SEO (Search Engine Optimisation to third party sites. This is the use of keywords and meta tags in the web pages of a site to improve their ranking in a search engine.

If you have been scammed you should report it to your local law enforcement office and or Interpol for they have recently taken action against to author of Wikileaks with an International arrest warrant.

.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You can’t find an outlet for your expertise, which is enormously frustrating. There just aren’t the kinds of opportunities available for talent like yours. Although this will change, it’s small comfort now, when you’re anxious to break out of a rut. Be good to yourself by arranging a pleasant outing this weekend. Head for the park, museum, or theatre. Play your favourite sport or arrange a big card game with friends. Sulking will only make you more depressed.

.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) You’re so anxious to turn a friendship into romance that you’re skipping the best parts. Savour the intensity between you before acting on your physical desires. If you’re already in a relationship, you need to take a different approach to lovemaking. You can’t force affection. If your partner doesn’t seem interested in amour, you need to draw on your powers of persuasion. Take your lover out for a night on the town and work overtime to make them happy.

.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) Teamwork isn’t your strong suit; you’re tired of doing the lion’s share of the work and being forced to take partial credit. Unfortunately, complaining will only make you look petty. You need to find a better way to assert your individuality. Breaking away from a lazy collaborator, finding a different job, and taking on different responsibilities are among the possibilities. The important thing is to make your move with grace and dignity.

.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You’ve lost your patience with unorthodox ways. As far as you’re concerned, the rules were made to create order out of chaos. If certain people choose to break them, then standards break down. Unfortunately, nobody else seems to share your concerns. Maybe you need to find a creative outlet for your frustrations. Working towards an advanced degree will give you a sense of accomplishment. It will also give you the tools for finding a better job.

.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) You’re losing ground in a romantic contest, which is an unfamiliar feeling. Part of the problem is the object of your affection doesn’t feel any chemistry with you. It’s impossible to force such things. Instead of doubling your efforts to win their heart, turn your focus inward. Think back on an artistic pursuit you once enjoyed, and then take it up again. You’ll be amazed how much better you feel once you start painting, writing, or playing music again.

.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Your best friend, business partner, or lover is driving you crazy. You simply can’t stand their erratic behaviour any longer. A temporary separation may be in order. You’ll be amazed how much better you feel when you’re able speak and act freely, without fear of reprisals. Walking on eggshells is no way to go through life. Although it’s sad to see this partnership come to an end, it’s better than clinging to a toxic situation. Act in your own interests for a change.

.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Honesty and work don’t mix. A colleague who claims to want your opinion really just wants praise. You’re tired of playing such silly games. If you decide to criticise their work instead of stroking their ego, an argument will break out. Maybe it’s for the best. Until someone holds up a mirror to them, they’ll continue to do the bare minimum. If you’re looking for work, you could lose a job to a candidate with better connections.

.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Arguments over money erupt and you’re tired of being treated like a cash machine. If someone truly cares for you, they will remain faithful regardless of your job status. A child may ask for an expensive toy or status symbol. This is your opportunity to impart good values. Set up an arrangement whereby this youngster can work for this item by doing chores. Each job they do will equal a certain amount of money towards the object.

.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Beware of being too pushy with relatives. You’ll catch more flies with honey than vinegar. If you’re forced to find a new living situation, you must be patient. Staying with friends is an option, but only if you live by their rules. Resist the urge to complain about their methods. After all, you’re their guest. Be sure to thank your hosts with a thoughtful present like a gift certificate to their favourite restaurant or a flourishing houseplant.

.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) A technical breakdown makes life miserable. You’ll have to learn to live without the convenience of a kitchen appliance, car, computer, or mobile. This disaster could be a blessing in disguise. Maybe it’s time to enjoy more contemplative pursuits, like reading or writing. Spend a few hours curled up with a good book or making a blog entry. It’s been a long time since you’ve listened to your own thoughts. You may be surprised to learn how much you’ve changed.

.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) A source of income comes to an abrupt end, which is embarrassing. You’re used to being able to afford certain luxuries. Now your financial situation has changed, you can’t go out quite as often. This is a valuable learning opportunity. Consider how much your identity was wrapped up in your work. There’s more to you than just a job title. Focus on developing your friendships instead. It isn’t healthy to be too independent.

.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Your inability to make a decision is driving your boss crazy. You need to pick a course of action and then follow it through to the end. If you make some mistakes along the way, so be it. At least you will have produced something valuable. Looking for work? You need to tone down your appearance. At this stage, it’s more important to land a secure position than express your individuality. Ask a Virgo for help in assembling an outfit that is suitable for interviews.

The Surge in Iraq? Afganistan? NO In southern Spain

We had a power cut on Thursday 18^th November at 0905 hours CET and again another one on Sunday 21^st November without being warned by the electricity company. At approximately 1105 CET on Thursday 25^th November there was a power surge that took down my computer. I took it the shop the same morning and it was diagnosed with a damaged hard drive. By the following day this was also augmented to a damaged circuit board. There was no option but to purchase a new computer. I had hoped to replace it with a Acer or UP but these were all in the 400/500 euro range and did not have Windows 7 but Linux! In the end I decided on a Phoenix.

I could have used the Acer laptop that I had purchased for a friend from Gorlovka in September 2009 but did not want to use it so I am afraid that I have not been able to keep the Blog up to date for you for reasons beyond my control.

I managed to set up the computer on Friday to find that I could not phone out or even connect to the internet, always getting the engaged signal! I called Telefonica and advised them of the problem and I believe that they have 48 hours to rectify so publishing on the Blog once again is delayed.

I hope to get your daily horoscopes up to date despite loosing all my data

У нас были прекращение подачи энергии на четверг 18 ноября в 0905 часов CET и снова другая в воскресенье 21 ноября, не будучи предупрежден электроэнергетической компании. Примерно в 1105 CET в четверг 25 ноября был скачок напряжения, который снял мой компьютер. Я взял его в магазине то же утро, и она была диагностирована с поврежденного жесткого диска. По следующий день это были существенно расширены в поврежденных платы. Существовал нет другого выбора, кроме как покупать новый компьютер. Я надеялся заменить его Acer или вверх, но все они были в диапазоне 400/500 евро и не иметь Windows 7, но Linux! В конце концов я решил на Phoenix.

Я мог бы использовать ноутбук Acer, что я купил для друга из Горловки в сентябре 2009 года, но не хотите использовать его, поэтому я боюсь, что я не был в состоянии держать блог до даты для вас по причинам, независящим от меня .

Мне удалось настроить компьютер в пятницу, чтобы найти, что я не могу из телефона или даже подключиться к интернету, всегда получает сигнал занято! Я позвонил Telefonica и посоветовал им проблемы, и я считаю, что у них есть 48 часов для исправления так публикации на блоге вновь откладывается.
