My encounter with a filipino pro scammer

Spend enough time on dating sites and its only a matter of time before you'll come across scammers. You'll find most of them operate in the wee small hours (PI time), when the lonely western gents are more likely to be surfing. Get online early morning when the good girls are coming online after work or college.

Anybody mentioning anything to do with money within the first few weeks delete them from your list and move on.

yep you're right mate. i got scammed after almost a year of chatting + one visit, so you never can tell. They should have an acadamy awards category for some of these ladies

It is a shame that there are so many scammers, but there are scammers all over the world, even here in the Uk.
I have not needed to use dating sites as I met my Mahal in Singapore while at a convention, but in the 7 months that we were apart and only communicating by phone and internet/webcam she never asked me for a penny.A few of you might know, I have just returned from the Philippines after my first visit to her home, and again she asked me for nothing, just my love. Of course I treated my Mahal and her family to a few days out and some lovely food, but it felt right and I wanted to.
Take time to find the 'beautiful, genuine' ladies on your dating site, they will be there, just be cautious.
Your story echos with another friend of mine, who is being plagued by a lady who keeps telling him that her grandmother needs medical care and she needs money. Now it could well be true.....but I told him to move on. I think you just need to be hard, you will know when it is right, you'll feel it.

Sorry to hear what happened after you spent all that time and money while knowing her, especially with flying to see her. Looking back where there any signs that she might not have been genuine that you missed or dismissed at the time?

Cheers, but it was all worth it. through her brother-in-law I met somebody very special, and yeh there were plenty of signs there. I'd like to think it was my destiny, that my subconscious was inadvertently leading me to somebody better, but it's probably more a case of me just being a naive fool

That's good that through a wrong one, that you found the right one, Funny how things work out! If it works out with Suzie and me, then I guess it will have been a little similar as well.
