Philippines Scams & Warnings

Archive for the ‘Online’ Category

Hello I am  Chris Bass. I have been scammed as well.I met ” Nikka on line as many of us do. She was working in a bar at the time this was in 2001, I heard her tales of losing her job then going to work for a shop whereher boss tried to have sex withher , losing bracelets watches being robbed and like a fool i believed her.Why? I had fallen in love. Now  I fell so hard that i agreed to meet herin the Philippines in the Manila area and i stayed atthe copacabana hotel. She even got me to move to s cheaper one which was still a good hotel . called lonely hearts. It saved me alot of money

This helped draw me to trust her.  I spend two weeks getting to know her and chose to marry her . Her family was glad for that .Well  , we filed and i went thru all the motions. and we were maried. I  did not know that in HongKong to work in bars or shops you must be married to a local resident. 

I was happily married for three days then my visa ran out. They told mei had to go home now and aply for another and i believed them. I went home filed for agreen card for Veronica and waited, Files were lost  andi fought with imigration about it, refiled forms paid moremoney timeand again. all this time sending 500 usd a monthto my wife.I saw heron theinternet as i senther a web cam for theplace she rented a computer from to seeme. I believed that crap. Well, it turns out thatVereonica  wentto Catubig and pissed away every dom dollar i sent on building a house for her mother and brother to live in, then went back to the philippines to knock down her sisters boyfriends house and rebuilt a two story house in Perpetual village 6 mambig foour , lot 10 bacoor cavite

   used my moneyto do it.  Now i sent money religeously and believed my wife to be in the phil waiting dutifully for me. As i have learned she left 10 months later after giving birth to our son and giving the baby up to her sister Marilyn galit.   And ten months afeter i left the phil she left to goto work again in HongKong. Back to her husband.

I did not learn this until after nearly two years. I ran a small company in the usa making money for our future. When her sister let the cat out of the bag and mentioned her indian hubby or her chinese hubby i got worried and confronted her , she denied of course, i kept supporting her until decidedto see what was true. i stopped sending meoney, she stopped communicationg altogether,Searches forher were in vain

her sister even moved away from Caviteas i learned.  Veronica is  on the internet as kissable 2004 in wqquary bay on filipina friend finder, and on  filipina heart .com  she is  “jelly” memebr number 199 199  and cvlaims to be single in Wan Chai area of Hongkong.  I am here now searching for her

  You see guys if you marry a pinay, you are married for life. Thereis no divorce in the philippines. Even if you divorce in another country, in the philippines you are still married \ It cost ten thousand USDollars to get an anullment in the philippines and likely the court

Have been victimized by a few girls from the Philippines. In particular, those who have fake, free profiles from website Filipinaheart.com. I made several complaints regarding woman who place fake pictures and profiles to attract attention to which the website responds with a refusal to remove such people from the site.  Recently, I was in correspondence with one JANICE KASPA who I would speak to over the phone.  She refused to go on webcam so I decided to send her money to purchase a webcam. She would take the money and would claim the webcam doesnt work.  I believed her. After two months I decided I would want to meet her during my next visit to the Philippines. Claiming she was from General Santos City, I sent her money thru Western Union to purchase a plane ticket. A few hours after she took the money, I spoke to her and she had a story of how she was just robbed and her purse stolen. She claimed to be at the police station, so I asked to speak to a police officer. She hung up the phone. Never heard from her again.  I went back on Filipinaheart, and sure enough a new profile was created using her friends name Laila Mae Lapang, using same fake pictures she emailed me. Beware of these SCAMMERS. No webcam, dont even bother with them.

Beware of Mary Gean Loquere who is a scammer.  She was on Date in Asia as MGEAN but after I emailed some of her friends on Friendster to embarass her she closed that profile.  I believe she is now registered as mg but she knows my email address so I have not checked it.  Her email address is: mejyn_l@yahoo.com.  Do not send her any money.

“I am new to communicating on the web. I joined Cherry Blossoms and sent out a few intros to attractive ladies. Lo and behold, I am contacted by a young “lady?” and ease into a light hearted and easy going series of coversations.

After a couple of weeks she says she has a visa and wants to TRAVEL TO ME. Of course her mom works for Airlines ans she can tavel cheap. Will I please just help with the “Taxes” First time idiot me says OK. Then the Typhoons hit and Uncle killed so she must wail for funeral. Dad on dialysis, she run over in auto accident needs some money for meds. and last hurrah, could I send a little for her to show US customs! Me, trusting fool as she even gave me the flight itinerary LOL! Of course no show and cell# disconnected.

#2 Another “nice looking attractive but real sort of girl” Things start out great and last for a couple of weeks, then she says, I really like you, I have a couple weeks vacation and would like to TRAVEL TO ME. I need only help out with taxes!

8 out of ten ladies seem to want $ immediately or soon after first contact. Cherry Blossoms staff is generally non-responsive.”

A number of Australian buyers have been ripped off with this scam, if you try to purchases something online and told the item is out of stock and that you should deal with the supplier in the Philippines directly before very cautious.

This is what happens…
Someone in Australia (probably a Filipino) advertises item at a bargain price. When the buyer contacts them they say that they have run out of stock and the buyer should contact their supplier directly who is located in the Philippines. They also vouch for how reliable the supplier is, creating a false sense of security for the buyer.

The buyer will contact the Philippines supplier (via email), and in return receive a reply with the details of where the money should be sent for the goods (Usually a direct deposit or western union transfer). The buyer then sends the money and never hears from them again.
