    http://dragonladies.org/ has a list of known scammers, including TVs

    And http://tineye.com/ can sometimes tell you if the picture your seeing has been reproduced elsewhere on the internet.. Good for spotting fake model pictures

    After getting scammed last time I wasn't playing around this time:Vader: So I did my research first...

    There are available a number of application which allow you to put a "home made" video online instead of you web cam broadcast.

    The problem is that its not interactive so teh normal conversational use of a 1 to 1 meeting is not possible..but it could fool the gulible or newbies to online dating!

    Try to see your online "date" over the webcam if possible.

    At least you know you will be chatting to someone who is who they say they are............
    I saw a BBC programme last year in teh UK about online scams. These were Aficans turning it into a village industry using photographs of white male models.
    What amazed me was the some woman in the USA fell for it and sent the requested airfare so he could fly to meet her !

    @Tawi... hmmmm.. takes one bayot to know one bayot! LOL... just kidding...

    I have a distant cousin who is gay and is now married to a Swedish or Danish (not sure) guy... he looked like a girl before.. dresses like one.. but when the bf came over to meet him, he asked my cousin if he quits dressing like a woman, and he did... maybe the foreigner wants his "girl" to look like him.. lol..

    oh by the way, I am gay. (at times)

    Your gay?(at times??)Unsa ka silahis Your joking right Double blade ba?Tira og babae That cant be true



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    That is very interesting. When I was looking for a friend on-line I had a number who said that the cafe did not have a webcam. In fact I never followed any of them up and I am now with someone who is genuine.

    Does your comment apply to all of the Philippines or just the main cities?

    All of the Philippines,though certain areas on Mindanao have a particularly bad rep.

    Whilst I was in a very small town in the north of Cebu island, I went into an internet cafe. Internet Cafe's are everywhere in the Phils, even the smallest village.
    This one had curtains separating the customers, a very private affair.
    Draw your own conclusions.......

    My wife tells me scammers were in there all the time when she was there!

    A few years back we had to travel though the Missus local town at silly oclock in the morning and we stopped popped in to a Intenet cafe for some reason. Plenty of people in it a few women but many blokes I could pick up a few convos going on in english with fairly high pitched voices for phill blokes

    As mentioned there is software which can alter the voice on pc's....

    Plenty of those who came in and out seemed well dressed and had a nice mobile..
    Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops

    I've never actively looked around for scammers or even Filipinas that go to internet cafes looking for foreigners, but when I stayed with my Mom in Mindanao, I worked for a photolab. I can't even remember how many guys with boobs caught me by surprise when they asked me to transfer their naughty pictures from their phones to CDs for their foreign boyfriends. Some of them admitted to not telling their boyfriends that they weren't completely female. These people aren't all that easy to catch, especially when you're a foreigner and your eyes aren't trained to see the differences. It's like when I first moved out here to the US, all white guys looked alike. All black guys looked alike. It took a while to be able to distinguish subtle differences in facial features.

    Good post.
    I went to see Sinulog in Cebu City in 2008 and watched at Fuente Osmeña.
    Watching and walking as a single man, I was amazed at how many times "guys with boobs" approached me.
    It seemed to me at that time that the ladies were standing in the background and smiling, whilst the "guys with boobs" were on the hunt for foreigners.
    The thought crossed my mind that many a drunken foreigner has probably woken up to quite a surprise!
    I can usually tell the difference but some of these men are so petite.
    Quite scary for me, but I am sure lots of foreigners enjoy their men that way.
    There must be millions of western $ or £ or whatever that have been sent by mistake over the years.

    There's no substitute for face-to-face contact, for so many reasons.
