Al is the exception I spoke of, has a lovely wife. Hi Al. I see what you mean...

scam, lets define the term.
Obviously, must I elaborate? giving money to your wife or girlfriend who you accept is not a scam. Wives have been supported by husbands for a few eons or so...
Giving money via long distance to a person who has no intention of living with you, or will marry you to abandon you once in the home land is perpetrating a scam. rather than react with hostility, understand the statement in the context it was meant. (my post) It isn't rocket science.

Ask Al how many filipinas he weeded out before finding his sweet girl, rather more than 10-1 ratio I guess.
anyway have a nice day :-)
