Hello from Bedfordshire

Hi Mike - i'm broadly in the same situation as you - I'm on filipino cupid as well.

I'd just be careful sending cash - even relatively small amounts. It just doesn't start the relationship on a good footing. I'm sure the woman is genuine but there are millions of filipinas who wouldn't dream of asking for anything , even if they are desperate.

To be honest it was probably more me offering than her asking, although she had obviously told of her situation etc, maybe hinted, but not directly asked. I have since sent a further amount, enough to cover her Cyber Cafe fees for a month, the trouble is I am finding the Western Union fees together with Bank charges (I used a credit Card) are nearly as much as the amounts i'm sending. any advice on cheaper options?
