i think everyone wants to beleive their not being scammed even if they are.i just put advert on jade rose pen-pals 6months later i was asking advice on here for trip to phils. my girl has always asked for money but admitted its because her friend had a foreign all the requests for money were genuine. her sis & friends want me to find foreign for them also.it may not be a politically correct think to say but would any filipina want a foreign if it wasnt for money a better life,course they wouldnt.
