Only a fool for a Filipino?
Another encounter with a Filipino online. If it seems too good to be true, is it?
The girl found me randomly on Skype four days ago. Allegedly, she thought I was another friend of hers. We got to chatting. She asked if I wanted to talk. I used a webcam and she spoke to me through a microphone. I have never seen her on a webcam because she says her computer is too old.
As we talk I learn that she was a former model and lingerie designer, but that now she goes to school for nursing. She also teaches English online. Initially she grills me about American foreign policy but ultimately concludes that I am a "nice American" as opposed to an "arrogant" one. I also learn that both her parents are dead and he boyfriend died just last year. She cries a little as she tells me this (and it seemed genuine). I tell her that my father just died and we connect a little further.
Eventually she sends me pictures of her on the beach, her with her deceased boyfriend, and A LOT of pictures of her modeling her self-designed lingerie. The pictures are stunning. She also compliments me on how handsome I am. She goes on to say that she is tired of her life in Batangas City because she has no family anymore. She also mentions that she hopes her next boyfriend will not be Filipino. Recently I have assisted her in editing some English documents for her work.
I am enjoying this experience with her, but am extremely skeptical. Anyone have any ideas on what may be happening? Is she looking for a ticket to ride? Is she setting me up so she could ask me for money?
