| there are many scams, from all nations, from US saying they are being sent back somewhere, from Russia, China, esp africa and the phillipines.
If they are wanting money for passports, visas, saying they have to have so many dollars in the bank before tehy can leave. Then expect that to most liekly be somre fruad. | |

| Yep as FR_Chuck said they are from all over the world not just the Phillipines. I think general rule as with most things is "If it sounds too good to be true" it generally is. | |

| There are scams and there are scams . . . Sometimes the so-called "SCAMS" can come later on in a marriage that is already several years old. I know a man who married a wonderful girl and everything was so great and all but after around a decade of marriage she went bizerk with the checking account. So, he obviously told her to go pound salt. There are so many beautiful women who are from the Philippines. I have had two now and I don't expect any more. I surely hope not anyway. My first one was so near-perfect but she had a history of heart disease in her family. I have struggled getting over her and our 31-Glorious Years of marriage. But anyway, I have another one now and she is also originally from the Philippines, but just like the first one; I didn't meet her there . . . She was already living here in the USA. I can't say that makes a difference. I don't know. I only know that in my very strong biased opinion, the difference in women is The Philippines and all others. If I had it to do over again, I would have done it the same way, under the same or similar circumstances. It's difficult for me to talk about it . . . I lost my wife . . . Okay? However, I will tell you exactly what I think . . . I would not be happy without a Pinay wife. Really. Honestly . . . That's the truth. I just wanted to share it all with you. | |

| As a Filipino woman myself, I'm hurt embarassed about stories of deceit involving filipino women. My BF has been flirting online for 10 yrs before he met me. He told me that he used to send a lot of money on different women over here. I asked him why, he said he feel sorry for the stories he's hearing. I said, if a woman spends MOST of the time talking about negativites and tearjerking living conditions (NOTE: It may be true) instead of helping herself, she may not directly ask but implying "send me some" and maybe doing the same thing to others.
While I know some are true and some are exagerrated, similar accusations like these will surface agaisnt me in future and I don't want to be belittled just because of mistake of some "minority'. I graduated in college, a scholar (till now), currently taking masteral degree & saving money on my own (also, I don't ask my american BF to send money& I spend 95% of my int'l calls for him). | |

They never seem to reply tho | I saw on CNN or one those TV Stations (The one that has Stone Phillips) where he actually went there to Nigeria and challenged one of those scam artists. He told the culprit, right in front of the camera lens, that everyone knew what he was up to and that in the USA it wouldn't go over at all because he would be paying the price; probably doing time in prison. However, there are really no laws against screwing the rest of the world in West Africa. BTW, that last statement is not what was stated by Stone Phillips . . . Those are my own words. | |
