Philippines Scams & Warnings

Posts Tagged ‘cherry blossom scam’

surfing LoveAccess again and have ran across an interesting topic in the Philippines. Young women, most all still in college, willing to talk when they are online. These are beautiful women but, I have discovered that one had made a mistake in her picture on the Yahoo profile page. She was actually posting pics of Miss Philippines 2001.

I found that when I ran my mouse across the picture and at the bottom of my browser, the identification of the photo came up. And I researched the name on the internet. She never asked for any money but, did have me confused with someone else that I guess was supposed to buy her a mobile phone …..lol

Since then, I have talked to two different ones. And the first night seemed to go by very nicely. And the second night, there was a question, “can you help me”? Help with what I asked? “Help me with the cost for the computer rent”, they say. The first one I drew back from because of this.

Then lastnight, once again another young, beautiful woman. I figured what the hey. All the pictures were taken by a professional photographer this time. I messaged her and there was a short wait and she replied. We had a pleasant conversation, short and really nothing to it.

Tonight, it was different. The tone of “can you help me”, was almost not far past the “hello’s” and how are “you’s”. I went on and questioned the “help”. She said “the computer rent was pretty high and she would need it, if we were to talk more.” And asked me if I could send $50.00. Well, then I started using the common sense God gave me and prodded her for more info about how I was to send her money.

SURPRISE !! Western Union. and then she asked me again if I would help her. I told her I would have to think about it and let her know. Actually , what was first coming to my mind was, to get here and write a post about it. It was strangely no coincidence that lightening would strike twice so quickly I felt.

I am almost inclined to send the $50.00 to see where it leads to next but, I feel like I already know the answer to that. Another $50.00 next week because, “I really like you”. LOL

“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.

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.”
