I even went to Manila and met her, and she is definitely the person in the pictures. Mylene is on page 15 of the site, and is also a frequent user of Friendster.

Usual visa and ticket scam, but over a very long time – from July 2009 to January 2010.

Ok here we go, met this lovely girl in June 2009 on Filipinahearth. We started chatting and things developed fast, too fast for my taste , in a matter of 1 month she wanted to get married and have children, I told her that I would not propose to her before I have met her on Phil. She seemed very caring and tenderspoken and I began to get strong feelings for here.

Here is an E-mail from July 26`th

Til: M….
Emne: hi m….

blah….blah…blah…..blah…..

In september I agreed upon visiting her in Christmas to see if this relation was to be!!

Until I bought the tickets and booked the hotel we chatted many hours pr week and exchanged many E-mails, now it seems her eagerness for me was declining , I complaint over this and told her that communication were essential for building a relationship. She told me she was busy on work and it was hard for her to find time to communicate so much!! I found it strange!! She had got her prey!!

Now all the sickness began, she got salmonella-poisening I saw her on webcam and she looked sick, 3 weeks and she didn´t get better and she told me she couldn´t afford to buy the stronge medicin and since I cared for her I sent her 80$ for medicin, this was the first time money was between us, she didn´t ask for money but I offered to Xoom her and I did.

November her sister got sick and I took the bait with line and sinker and sent 3000 pesos for medicine…… yeah I know I was stupid but the trap was set good!!

She began to be aggressiv whenever I phoned her telling that she was busy, trying to survive in a tough society, she had told me she was working as a Microfinancial Consultant and I began to be suspicious, but everytime I expressed my doubts she convinced me again and things were back to normal!!

Now Christmas was approaching and things didn´t get better and luckely my feelings for her slowly began to deminish and I was very close not to go and I told her that in the phone, and again she showed her good talent as an actor and convinced me again!!

December 19 I flew out of Greenland to Copenhagen, and via Amsterdam I came to Manila december 22´nd. Went to sleep on the hotel and slept 20 hours!!

Weng Dano arrived december 23´rd in the evening, good looking but she was COLD!!!! The first thing she asked for were here christmas-present, I knew that she wanted a touch-phone so I brought her an expensive phone, she unwrapped it and and she didn´t even say thank you , I asked her if there were a little present for me but nope!!

Christmas evening, THE GRANDE FINALE!

We went to Manila Zoo but returned home early coz I was still suffering from severe jetlag and I was tired, we talked good and laughed a lot, she was very occupied with her new cell and I slept some hours. We ordered a good dinner from the hotel and had a good time, but Man I was in for a surprise!!
Her cell kept on ringing and she was texting all the time, suddenly she began to scream and cry , the tears running from her eyes, JESUS,WHAT AN ACTRESS!
She told me a firecracker has burnt her house down and that she had lost everything, only owned what was in her luggage and she need to go to Majayjay the next day to find a new place to live, I tried to comfort her and gave her money to a cab to Majayjay and back so we could spent the rest of the holiday together, 18000 pesos including money for a new bed, she went off december 25´th in the morning and I haven´t seen her since, She doesn´t answer the phone or mails anymore, I needed an explanation!
Friday january 1´th I went to Majayjay in a cab, needed peace of mind, we could not go all the way to her adress due to a bridge fallen down, but I went to the firedepartment and they told me that there were no fire in Majayjay Christmas Eve, Man I have been had!! It is long time since I have been so angry!
Went out of Manila january 4`th and it took me 5 days to get home and I am still suffering from jetlag while writing this.

Now they are trying to tell me that she is lying in coma at the hospital.. they must be nuts coz I can see whenever she is online!!!
On a computer that were supposed to be burnt!!!  Psycho  lowlife
“Oh and just for the heck of it, I tried to add her to my yahoo a couple of days ago. Instead of her account still being in the status of “add request pending” as would likely be the case of a person in a coma, her account disappeared from my list, which means she actively denied my request. This confirms that she has been online. More proof that you were scammed.”

I met Marjorie A Erezo on the Cherry Blossoms web site.  We became friendly, and we decided to meet.  Because I am a police officer and have a second job, I was unable to get away.  She decided to get a passport and visitor’s visa to come visit me.  So, she told me what it cost and I sent her the money, about $650.00 including some misc expenses.

She called me back to tell me that she needed more money for this and for that, and I sent it.  She and I talked every day, it seemed as though she wanted money every time we talked on the phone, by text, and by yahoo messenger.  She told me that she knew someone at the embassy and that they would help her know what to do to get approved for a visitor’s visa.

She told me that she needed show money to give a bank statement to the embassy to show that she had a tie to the Philippines.  She said that she was an only child, and did not have anything else to show that she had ties to the Philippines.  So, I sent her another $1,000.00 at her request.  I asked her to send me the bank statement, and to send me receipts for what she was buying with my money.  She said that she would send me receipts when the process was completed.  Around the first of January 2010, she said that she had her passport, and had submitted it to the embassy with an application for the visa.  She said that she forgot to scan it and send me a copy.  She asked for more money for the process, and I sent more money.

She told me that the interviewer told her that the money that she had was not enough and that she needed to have at least 300,000 pesos in order to get approved.  I challenged that amount and she said that she would ask for the minimum, which turned out to be 50,000 pesos.  So, more money.  She told me that the first money for a bank account was in US dollars and she was not able to withdraw it until she got to the US.  She said that the interviewer wanted her to have money in pesos to show a tie to the Philippines, and I sent her enough for 50,000 pesos.  She told me that the interviewer wanted her to get a Continental ticket and to fly out on a certain day. We started with January 20, then January 25, then January 30.  She told me that she needed to take the h1n1, and that she needed money for that.  Well, we agreed that the first money that I sent included the h1n1 shot.  She said that she had spent the money on other expenses.  So, more money for h1n1 flu shot.

I challenged her on all of the money and the process, and of course, the receipts for what she had spent my money on.  She told me that she was flying out on February 4, 2010.  I did not get a call, email, text, or yahoo message from her. I finally got her on the phone on February 6, 2010, and she told me that she did not know what to tell me about what she had done.  Then, she hung up on me.  She has not answered my texts, yahoo messages, emails, or phone calls.  She has about $5,500.00 of my money.

I contacted Cherry Blossoms, and they have deactivated her account.  I contacted Philippine news papers, and the Philippine National Police.  I am waiting on response from the Philippine National Police.  I am telling my story to everyone whom I come into contact with.  Her name again is Marjorie A Erezo, telephone # 011639 284 574 362, her email is littletreasure543@yahoo.com.  I have photos also – email me and I will send them to you atintl@aol.com

I just started visiting Manila on a regular basis for business. One of my Muslim Partners informed me recently of something that happened some time ago. Several South African citizens got away with killing a Muslim girl in Manila, Philippines. If you read the Newspaper articles it is clear that a bribe was paid so that the witness would not testify. I was told that a Fatwa was issued in Mindanao against South Africans Cristo Daniel Daniels, Roland Terence, and Mike Halgreen who killed a muslim girl in a love triangle. If anyone knows where these Muslim Haters and killers are please post it to the appropriate Web Site. We Muslims can not allow people to get away with speaking bad about our Faith and killing innocent Muslim girls.

Here are several of the articles in the Manila Newspaper and ABS/CBN television station regarding this murder.

S. Africans held for murder of GRO in Valle Verde

abs-cbnNEWS.com | 11/04/2008 8:50 PM

Police filed murder raps against the two South African nationals who were linked to the killing of a 22-year-old guest relations officer (GRO) in Valle Verde III, Barangay Ugong, Pasig City.

Investigators filed the complaints before the Pasig City Fiscal’s Office against Cristo Daniel Daniels and Roland Terence.

Police tagged the two as the main suspects in the murder of Shahahi Imran Maongco alias Jennifer de los Reyes, whose body was found wrapped in a trash bag at the basement of Daniels’ residence on October 20.

The two suspects were also accused of violating R.A. 9262 or the Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act of 2004.

Fiscal Pedro Oribe is expected to file formal charges at the Pasig City Court on Wednesday.

The murder victim, who was a Muslim, was reportedly a girlfriend of Daniels, a Philippine-based businessman. She worked as a GRO of Heartbeat KTV in Quezon City.

Daniel’s maid Daisy Grace Libuna, who was earlier tagged as a suspect in the killing, became a primary witness in the murder case.

Libuna said she actually saw Maongco’s body after she heard a loud crashing sound from her master’s bedroom.

“Nakita ko iyong si Jennifer nakabulgata at sa tabi iyong Daniels at si Terence at iyong driver. Natatakot ako kaya kaagd umalis,” she said.

Four days later, Maongco’s body was “found” by Daniels’ driver Andrew Manabat at the basement of the suspect’s house.

Manabat is currently being investigated over his alleged role in the murder case.

This is another article:

http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/metro-manila/11/03/08/police-arrest-3-suspects-valle-verde-murder-case

Authorities now have in their custody the three suspects in the murder of a guest relations officer (GRO) in Valle Verde III, Barangay Ugong, Pasig City.

Police are now investigating South African nationals Cristo Daniels and Roland Terence for their alleged roles in the murder of Shahahi Imran Maongco alias Jennifer de los Reyes.

Maongco’s body was found wrapped in a trash bag at the basement of Daniel’s residence in Valle Verde on October 20.

The murder victim, who was a Muslim, was reportedly a girlfriend of Daniels, a Philippine-based businessman. She worked as a GRO of Heartbeat KTV in Quezon City.

Daniel’s house maid Daisy Grace Libuna is also in police custody.

Investigators suspected her involvement in the murder after she fled to Iloilo shortly before the victim’s body was found.

Police said they will file appropriate complaints against the three suspects at the fiscal’s office on Tuesday. — With a report from Gus Abelgas, ABS-CBN News

If you want to know how the two South Africans got out of the murder, this news article explains in quitle well. I do not know how Mike Halgreen did not get
charged also as another post at a Newspaper site notes that Cristo Daniels was his partner in everything they did, and raised the money for their bribe. Mike Halgreen may still in the Philippines to scam people and get the money to his partners. He may kill another Muslim again.

2 S. Africans in GRO murder case in Valle Verde leave RP

http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/metro-manila/11/24/08/2-s-africans-valle-verde-murder-case-leave-rp

abs-cbnNEWS.com | 11/24/2008 5:45 PM

The two South African nationals accused of killing a 22-year-old guest relations officer (GRO) in Valle Verde, Pasig City hurriedly left the country shortly after the victim’s relatives withdrew their case against the suspects.

South Africans Cristo Daniel Daniels and Roland Terence immediately left the country after being released from detention last Friday.

The Eastern Police District was forced to release the two after the parents of murder victim Shahahi Imran Maongco alias Jennifer de los Reyes filed an affidavit of desistance last Friday, withdrawing their case against the suspects.

“Lumabas na raw ng bansa ang dalawa… ‘di rin namin inaasahan iyon,” said Superintendent Eduardo Villena, chief investigator of the case.

Maongco’s body was found wrapped in a trash bag at the basement of Daniels’ residence on October 20. Police believe the two South Africans have something to do with the victim’s death.

Police were also surprised with Pasig City Fiscal Pedro Oribe’s decision to immediately dismiss the murder case which led to the release of the South Africans.

“Positibo namang kinilala ng witness ang suspect natin, at ito ang malaking pruweba na nandoon sa krimen ang mga suspek… Bakit dinismiss ito? At in case of doubt, dapat ang piskal ay pinag-aralan muna ito,” said Villena.

It was not also clear what made the victim’s relatives decide to dismiss the case.

Parents of Maongco were earlier seen crying for justice after a witness positively identified the two South Africans as the ones reportedly responsible for de los Reyes’ death.

Daniel’s maid Daisy Grace Libuna claimed seeing Maongco’s body after she heard a loud crashing sound from her master’s bedroom shortly before the victim’s death.

“Nakita ko iyong si Jennifer nakabulgata at sa tabi iyong Daniels, at si Terence at iyong driver. Natatakot ako kaya kaagad umalis,” she said. With a report from Gus Abelgas, ABS-CBN News

By asiascams

I found this information in a newspaper in Cebu, Philippines. I included a copy of some of the article.

I was told that Mike Halgreen was sent to Cebu, Philippines by the killer of the young muslim girl in Manila to raise more money. (See my previous post) I was in Cebu last month and I learned that he teamed with another South African, Bollie Bolton to pull another Franchise Scam on several people in Cebu. I was told Bollie Bolton also has a bad reputation in Cebu. So I assume that is one reason the two formed a partnership. This information comes From a personal meeting with a South African living in Cebu that a fellow muslim businessman friend in Manila introduced me to, i was told that they made millions of pesos from selling fake Out of Africa Franchises. This South African spoke with me because he is a good person and is very angry that other South Africans are giving his home county a bad name.My contact said they sold two Franchises, took the clients money and gave nothing in return. Please email this blog and tell all of our muslum brothers in the Philippines to warn people about these two South Africans. if you know where these two South African scam artists are now operating, please post it here. I was told that both Mike Halgreen and Bollie Bolton have left the country to look for new scam victims, after scams in Thailand and Philippines. You may post a link to this blog if you have a website trying to stop people like this.

This is from the Sun Star Newspaper in Cebu, Philippines as a reply to an article about the South African scam artist Mike Halgreen.
Hi there Nancy,

Following on some comments published recently by other people – Disillusioned South african – who have obviously been done in by these two totally unscrupulous and unethical individuals in the running of this steakhouse franchise, I deemed it appropriate to provide you with some more information.

I was the first person to actually invest some money into the “dream” that was sold to me by messrs Daniels and Halgreen.

I was a recently retired person with some money handy to invest for a more secure and enjoyable retirement and the idea of “investing” in their proven and successful concept on the beautiful island of Koh Samui sounded exciting. The model they used would make me a 25% shareholder in the restaurant that would be set up. My “investment” was 1.5 million baht and they – Daniels and Halgreen – would each contribute a similar amount. It later transpired that this never happened.

“Our” restaurant opened late 2006 and I was the hands-on manager/owner on site. We traded for 6 months during which we did a turnover of approximately 2 million baht. Then, out of the blue, the restaurant was closed overnight due to an “unacceptable high rent”. Since I was only a 25% shareholder I had no say in the matter. The furniture – electronic equipment, specially made kitchen accessories, coffee machine, TV etc, to the value of about 300 000 baht – was then very conveniently used in other venues.

For almost a year I was “showcased” to potential investors, while I received no financial return or benefit whatsoever. Following many discussions and arguments I was then made a “franchise developer” which entitled me to a monthly salary as well as commission on any franchises sold. Needless to say that none of these payments ever materialized. Although I ate and drank in the restaurants (as some sort of compensation I suppose…) I was not paid anything for more than a year. I was on the receiving end of blatant exploitation as was the case with basically anybody and everybody that was on the receiving end of dealing with these people. This included employees, suppliers and other investors too.

During this time Christo Daniels left to develop new opportunities in the Philippines. (This followed a failure in Singapore despite what is been told to potential investors – maybe the people there saw through him too quickly…?) Seemed like history was repeating itself – running away from Phuket, then Samui….now the Philippines……what’s next…?

And then he was in jail and Mike Halgreen was trying to collect bail money. One “friend “assisted with this substantial amount of money with numerous promises and undertakings to return the money the moment Daniels was back on Samui. This has still not happened 6 months later and, interestingly enough, Mike Halgreen disappeared at about the same time and ended up in the Philippines… Coincidence?

Daniels also ran away from Samui (sounds familiar by now…?) and now tries to con new investors with their alleged “61 franchises in South Africa and 40 in Thailand and elsewhere”. Please try and Google for any of these and see what you get …….? Yes, correct……nothing….

Please be extremely cautious with these guys – you will lose money…

Should you require any additional information, especially if this will prepare you better for your next discussion with Mike Halgreen, and potentially prevent anybody else from falling prey to this exploitation, please feel free to contact me directly.

Kind regards and good luck!

Dear Cross Alec et. al.,

Sorry to hear about your problems on Samui. Samui was the 3rd stop that I know about and there could be more. Bangkok was early days with a restaurant on Sukhumvit. Then came (2)Pickle’s Bars in Patong, followed by an African Wine Bar. All closed with investors left scratching their heads.

Hi Nancy,

Might be worthwhile to follow-up on the credibility of all the claims and statements being made by these guys…. There are several people who could provide you with facts to the contrary.

Just think about it….for a franchise business that is “present in so many countries and expanding” the basic spelling and grammar is atrocious, to say the least. Surely not something that you would expect from such a professional establishment, wouldn’t you say? Please refer to their advertisements for their different type opportunities…..Sad but funny..

Furthermore, if they are as lucrative and sound operation as they claim to be, why have they run away from Phuket firstly, and then recently from Koh Samui…? Why have none (not one!!!) of the people that have invested money in their concept on Koh Samui received any money or returns on their investments? “Halgreen said investors are guaranteed a return on investment within eight months to a year” ??? Probably because not one of these restaurants exist anymore…….Maybe they were lied to…..? Guaranteed my a…

There are at least 5 people who have invested substantial amounts of money on Koh Samui and there are at least 15 other South Africans that was totally exploited and blatantly lied to by Daniels and his partner over the last few years..

It is a pity that such unscrupulous people can get away with this type of nonsense for so long.

For anybody that might be interested in this type of franchise, please make 100% sure about all the figures you are shown and absolutely insist on 100% audited and validated statements. It would be preferable to have any due diligence done by someone independent and trustworthy.

Or maybe even better, stay away from these guys…..they are true con-artists….

And sadly…..South Africans….

Thank you so much for these valuable information. You have given me substantial information I could use in an interview when I will chance upon them. My hope for now is that they will not make Cebu look bad to potential investors who are initally attracted to put up hotels, resorts, restaurant, and other tourism establishments here due to the efforts of public and private sectors. Again, thank you. And thank you for visiting my blog.

Hi Nancy,

Although the true facts and circumstance about the unfortunate demise of the girl in Cebu will probably never be known, one solid fact is clear – Christo Daniels and his Out of Africa network is very dishonourable to say the least.

It would be a start for them to prove where these more than 40 outlets in Thailand and more than 60 outlets in South Africa are….?
Mr Daniels has disappeared from the island of Koh Samui – which was the home base of the Out of Africa franchise as well as 3 restaurants – with lots of people looking for him and the money that he owes them. This includes suppliers to his restaurants (which does not exist anymore)who have not been paid as well as people who “invested” in the dream that this man sold them. Daniels and their money is gone.

Disillusioned (disgusted) South African

This reminds one of a typical megalomaniac – smooth talking and “fantastic” potential based on “magnificent” figures coupled with a charismatic personality – genuine people with dreams in their hearts and some money in their pockets are “convinced” of their “excellent” investment.

This is a typical fraud and will hopefully be brought to justice soon – whether it is in South Africa, Thailand or the Philippines – before more people are relieved of their money.

In parting, it would be very interesting to see the departure stamps in his passport when he left the Philippines….? Maybe ask him about that as well as the money that allowed him to get out? Has he repaid that by any chance…..?

Thank you for dropping by, sir. I was about to reply to Mr. Peter that I will try to drop by again at Out of Africa-Cebu and check what I could find out to confirm his suspicions. Nevertheless, thank you for taking your time to explain your side here. I hope you will soon have a peace of mind and be liberated from your current predicament. As for Out of Africa, its branch in Cebu is doing well, based on the feedbacks from diners. It’s about time we have such exotic restaurant in our midst. I have learned that more Out of Africa branches will soon find their way in Metro Manila and in popular tourist destinations in the country like Boracay. That’s good news!

“Myself and Christo unfortunately became victims of a few unscrupulous policemen who used the opportunity to attempt extorting money from as we are vulnerable targets as foreigners.”

Terence, I do not know you, but I do know Christo, as well as alot of those people he has scammed here on Koh Samui, Thailand.
Whether you are a victim or not I do not know, but considering Christo’s long history of scams, as well as his general attitude the few times I have met him personally, I very much doubt he is innocent. He seems like a guy who is capable of anything, and with absolutely no conscience.
On the other hand, I do believe he has bribed the police and the family of the dead girl, in order to get out of jail.
No matter who killed the girl, Christo Daniels deserves to be in jail for a long time.

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

I chatted to a lot of filipina ladies, but when it came to money I just deleted them,but one night in a Filipina  chat site, one young lady got the best of me.  we went to yahoo to chat

we opened up our web cams and started talking, her name on her id was cristy_ann, we started a nice repore then she started to work on me, knowing I was planning to marry a filipian lady , she gave me her phone number to call her, but I didnt have international calling on my phone, we met just about the same time every night my time, she had all the right words to say to me. and she used them against me knowing what I was looking for,  she promised she wasn’t a scammer, and wasn’t like other ladies that try to scam men, she wanted me to send her money for the cafe’.this was after a few days of chatting. so I asked my friend who just moved to the Philippines in April of this year after he met his new wife on a Filipina chat room, I asked him while he was talking to her from the states if he ever sent her money to chat he said yes, so I said what the heck, I told cristy_ann I needed her real name and address to send the money by Western Union. and most people don’t use there given in yahoo chat, she told me her name was Romelyn , still at this point I had no reason to doubt her, so I sent her $45 dollars. lets say she took me for a three months ride chatting with her every night. then came the love words, and believe me she was good doing it playing on my emotions ex. I love you,it would be a honor to marry you, wish you can come here over the Christmas Holidays to visit me and my family, get the point….I guess you can say I was love struck.

she even brought her two younger sisters on cam to see me, she would say why would I scamm you if I gave you my phone number and brought my sisters to see me on cam..  I’ll be honest she got me for some more money, over the three months, and I was planning to move there the comming year 09″ to get married, met her on June 5,08 til September 15, 08′ was the last time she ever chatted and called me, I told my friend in the Philippnes I know I just got scammed, so his wife looked on Friendster after I gave her the name Romelyn, plus his wife knew what she looked like from the pic I sent her,behold Romelyn wasn’t the girl I met as cristy_ann,, both Romelyn, and cristy ann were two different sisters, they both had web sites on Friendster . so they were both working on me at the same time, I never met Romelyn before, but this finding didnt come in time til after she stopped chatting and calling me,,she change the simms card on her phone, so I caouldn’t call her to find out what happend that she stopped chatting, remember this all took placebrfore I found friendster, I think she started to realize towards the end , I started to pick up on the scamm but was to late for me the damage was done,, my friends wife try texting her and e-mailling her to at least write me and apologize, but we all know that wasnt going to happen, so after looking at over 100 pics she had on her site, I relized she never was at a cafe’ from the start, she was in a house In surigao del sur,Tagbina which was the address she gave me to wire the money. but thwere is more to this story, after my head cleared up somewhat.  I did doubt her in the beginning, but she must have learned these scamm from someone because she played me to the end.tonight after two weks of not hearing frome her, I get on my computer after work and saw a off-line message, the ID I didnt know so I cliked on the message and it read”How is life now im back after two weeks you surprised hehehehe”. she is using a different ID now on yahoo to scamm other men, but when I put the ID that she used to send the off-line messages yahoo didn’t reconized the name, like I said she and her sisters are good at this, so I am at the point how can I believe what another Filipina lady tells me even if she doesnt ask for money, all the powerful words cristy used on me would make any man believe what she was telling them ” dont leave me” I love you so much, I miss you everynight, my mom said as long as im happy she is happy, like I said lots of woman asked for money but I never sent it, but crity ann, got my money, Western Union wants to hear from me about this scam, along with the FBI, so I will let you good people know what happends next, since I have the addresses, pictures, yahoo IM she sent,and all the control numbers for the time I sent her money, she did a good head job on me to be honest,,,live and learn

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.

Reportsmjmillertime72 writes “Mayciel Gella has asked and recieved money from more then one USA male trying to get out of the philippines due to her father trying to rap her. she is also claiming that her mother is in the hospital and she needs money to help pay for a doctor which is infact her uncle by the name of Rene Tabodaon! which is not a doctor at all.

I have proof of her dishonest intent by email’s and IM’s she has sent. she is using yahoo and phillippine pen-pal web site. as far as I know she has scammed two usa males into sending money,promising to be loving, faithful, and to get to Manila so she can get her paperwork in order to visit the usa.This is not a joke this is A REAL SCAM. This is the address she is using
