Scams

[Sangoma]

Looking at recent posts on here, and in other places on the net, I get the impression that the Philippines is becoming a dangerous place for online dating.

It seems everyday I read of someone having problems.

Some of the problems may just be distance and communications, I think I have my share of that, but there also seems to have been a rapid increase is loss of money, arrangements going wrong, contact being avoided, and things in general that one would no expect in a genuine loving arrangement.

Maybe it's just the p;osition of the moon

Distorted facts on the Net.

You onlt get those complaining that post in most cases, not the happy ones.....However, it's different on here, over the years we have had very few that have been scammed.....less than 10 easily....compared with the 1000's that have used the forum.

fair enough, it's just that recently there seems to have been a big jump in the not happy ones.

I nearly got caught once before, of course I ignored the signs everyone spoke of, but I guess so do many others.

On the other hand, I know of a few girls who have endless uphill from their UK husbands/boyfriends.

It is probably fair to say that most of us have a lot to give, (not talking money) and are willing to give, all is asked in return is honesty, openess and fidelity.
But that of course puts people at risk as easy targets, and I admit I would be an easy target initially. I never get stressed at work, or by other peoples lives, but my own emotional wellbeing is easily put under pressure.

I agree with Keith on that.

I also must state that a lot of scammed people for some reason do not read the signs or see the red flags waving.....
They also don't take any notice when they are told that they are being turned over, but such is human nature.
Some people are too trusting and terminally gullible.

And, in my opinion, the worst scams are not on the net but here in this country perpetrated against the elderly and feeble, through fake postal lotteries, and other junk mail. Unadulterated deceit.

I feel sorry for those people who`s having these kind of problem.I really do believe that God give you the girl/man who`s very much comparison to your character.
