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.

Amen to that
