On my recent trip to the Philippines i met an American guy on the ferry who was going to the same city where my wife lives. He said he was going to meet a girl he had met on the net but as he was staying at the same hotel that both Rhea and myself where staying i got to know more about him and i could not believe how gullible he was.
The story goes that he had started to get to know a girl he met on the net and over a period of two years had sent this girl $4,000 without ever meeting her. They had started to plan their lives together and the money i guess was towards the wedding plans but to cut down the story he found out that the girl was in fact a Gay Man and he was actually going to track this guy down and try and get his money back. The last i heard he had just handed over another 50,000 pesos to a lawyer who promised that he would be able to get all his money back. This American i thought would have caught on when he asked "what name shall i send you the money" (via western union) and the answer came back" Rudolf," but he kept sending the money anyway.
