    Is This A Phillie web Scam
    Ill keep it as short as possible
    I meet a girl on a cam site and paid for to leave the site and rent an apartment 15,000 php 2 months rent with electricity and water.
    I also had to buy a computer and basic furniture 25,000 php
    All this money was asked for by her cousin and then boss
    I also sent about 10,000 php as a gift for clothes
    Next I visited her and all went very well lots of talk about marriage etc and of course very hot in bed from day 1.
    I was told to pay 20,000 php for her debt at the cam studio that was paid to her parents so she could work in Angeles (stupid I paid it)
    Each trip to take me and collect me from Manila Airport to Angeles City cost 6000 php
    Once I am at home I receive a message that she may be pregnant and also could I chat with her dad who is on his way home because he didn't get paid from his work in Manila
    So yes I chatted wth him as the girl translated and typed next she needs to give him 4000 php so he can return to Romblon (I left 9000 php) from my trip
    Next I was told that she was given a free trip to Romblon so she could go and see her baby girl which I was aware of
    Here comes the next big 1 I have now been asked to help pay 20,000 to her ex boy friend that won't let her take the child to Angeles for a better life
    At this point I have refussed and get messages saying she is late coming back because I haven't paid
    What do you all think
    Anyone got ant experince of the culture there
    Please let me know

    They found a willing fool, and exploited it. That's the scam, finding a willing fool.
