    Let's not be quick to judge, guys, coz we don't know the real story. It would not be fair to the person concerned.

    No one is saying or thinking anything like what you are imagining above, so please stop this kind of post.

    One of the members of this forum might have had his/her picture abused by some unknown person in an other website, that is what this thread is about, the moderators of this forum are investigating and will report back how and when they feel fit.

    OK.

    Smile and be happy, we all love, trust and cherish our Filipino partners.

    It is now clear that it was a definite identity hijacking.

    The person in question has been advised to contact the site to try to adjust, delete or change the details.

    So all speculations and suspicions have gone, please folks take care of where you post your pictures, and never, never, ever post your mail address on open forums.

    This matter is closed, but the thread will be left open because it is an eye opener.

    The problem is that if you publish your photos anywhere on the Internet, even on this site, you are leaving yourself open to someone using your photos for other purposes. And you may never find out unless you or someone who knows you stumbles upon them.

    The person who stole the photo had already been caught out as a scammer but it just goes to show how easy it is for someone to steal other peoples photos just to scam people.

    There are Filipinos out there giving Filipinos a bad name which is sad

    True enough, but it does not clear the damage done to the innocent victim, whose only sin was to post a photo or two on the internet.

    That is true of every nation, not only Filipinos.

    The vast majority of people tend to tar everyone with the same brush, without making allowances.

    There are, undoubtlely, many, many nice Nigerians, or real honest russian brides but generally we dismiss them authomatically as scammers, because after many yaers of hearing horror stories we have become conditioned to it.

    I'm not a sacmmer honestly...btw, my neighbour has $40M that he can't access without a $5,000 downpayment. If anyone would like to give me their bank details and a payment of $5,000 i promise to give them 50% of the $40M when the money clears. Any takers?
