LoginDespite years of warnings from the media, law enforcement and private investigators, the number of reported romance scams in the Philippines remains high and shows no sign of abating. The mix of poverty, limited economic opportunity, and a high percentage of English speaking internet users continues to drive more Filipinas and Filipinos to internet fraud and scams. Where there is limited opportunity, such scams against foreigners can be profitable, and too good to pass up. Extra caution is advised in Philippine dating. Ethics aside, more women and men in the Philippines are turning to romance scams for income. The foreigner often will even come to the Philippines to meet the family. Once the hook is set, the financial problems and requests for money come rolling in!
Precaution is the key to being safe in romantic relationships, and this is especially important when dating a Filipina. The majority of cases of Philippines romance scams involve Filipina women and foreigners, especially men from the United States, the U. These are the preferred victims of romance scammers, and although Philippines investigators have been helping fight fraud for years, this is still an ongoing problem. The first warning that people should keep in mind is: do not wait for a warning! When having an online or long distance relationship it is extremely easy to lie or have a double life when you are thousands of miles away.
In the shadowy corners of the digital world, deception often wears the mask of love and companionship. I recently had a heart-wrenching conversation with a woman who reached out to ScamWatch Pilipinas after falling victim to such a scam.
Offline dating comes with many difficulties — something that many know all too well. Fortunately, dating in the Philippines need not be restricted to offline interactions. However, online dating also comes with its own set of trials, specifically in the form of online dating scams.
