Philippines Scams & Warnings

It is great to see some new scams being reported here. I have spoken to dozens of men who have been scammed online by this new wave of chatscam Filipinas. Many of them are Bayut or Bakla, transexuals who are vicious, nasty and very cunning. Others are real women but have realised they can make a very lucrative living this way, playing on our generosity and loneliness.

First of all, everyone in the Philippines survived before they met you and they will survive once you are gone. It is not your place in their lives to keep them in cash and cosmetics!

Secondly, internet access costs as little as P10 an hour in some places. The most I have ever seen is P30 an hour in an upscale mall. The US$ is nearly P50, so we are talking between a dime and a quarter to chat for an hour. You send fifty bucks by Western Union and they can either chat for 200 or more hours or they can feed their family for a month on rice and dried fish, the staple diet.

Third, the good ones are too proud to ask for money in any way. My wife was in hospital with her father efore we were married. He was having serious stomach operations and she and her mom and sister were his ‘watchers’. The nurses do nothing, the doctors do little else and the security guard won’t let the watchers leave to buy food and medicines outside the hospital if the bill hasn’t been paid up to date. Don’t believe me? Your perogative but I speak the truth. Well as I said, I had to wring this out of my wife to be and force her to accept some cash to help out, but barely enough for them to buy some food, she refused all help withe the huge hospital bill and she even had to endure the ignominy of passing the hat around at her old school! But she did that rather than ask me for money. Her and her Mom applied to a charity for funding and even tried to mortgage their home, borrowed from an uncle who works overseas and still wouldn’t accept a centavo from me.

There are plenty of them over there but of course the scammers know how to get your attention and push in. Test them and find a good one. My eBook ‘Filipina 101′ tells you how, what to write and ask and so on. If it doesn’t save you the cover price of just US$29.99 you have 30 days to get a full refund and yes, some guys scam me and get the refund even though they loved the eBook!
