Fellow mongers, I need your expert help in lady boy detection. I've chatting this girl I found on Pinalove and she looks pretty great, to me at least. But a couple of red flags.

- she has a bit of a deep voice.

- shares nude fotos of herself without even me asking.

- asked for "hot" photos of me, which I did not give.

Usually when something is too good to be true, it is indeed a ladyboy. I've videocalled with her very briefly for about 30 seconds where I do believe she is the person in the photos. She didn't look quite as good as in her photos, but most girls don't these days with all the filters going around. I've attached some photos. What do you think?

I avoid the aggregators and too good to be true, bargain prices flights. The dramas should flights be rerouted, delayed or cancelled just isn't worth it. Especially as all of these are now more common than before.

Prices of flights booked direct with the airlines also vary wildly with dirt cheap flights occasionally available. Google Flights is a good option here. Punch in the intended departure and arrival airport and I can search flight and prices several months ahead. It's not unusual to see prices vary by 300% at different times of the year. Obviously, stay away from major holidays and school breaks.

Enjoy. G.

I've used aggregators regularly without a drama. The problems arrive if there is a missed connection or cancellation. The airlines treat it as booked by and agent and many won't deal with you directly. Buy insurance with the money saved.

There is a "new" one there where a Chinese chick (yeah right) befriends you as you are interesting (if she wants to know what it is like to talk to a guy who had his dick in 10000+ hookers). "She" plays the long game and get you into crypto and then hits you hard. I spoke to a digital nomad who said those scams are only the shallow end of the pool and there are some real experts floating about. The 101 is if a chick wants to see dick, run.

This is called the "pig slaughter" scam in China. It has been around for awhile in China and is now going world wide. These are very sophisticated operations. As you said, they play the long game. A lot is known about you before first contact is even made. These people are well trained and very good at what they do. I have been contacted through Wechat, but sinse Chinese friends warned me first I just ignore any contacts from people I don't know. Not surprising that they would be branching out to other platforms.

Air China are offering good prices form London and Rome. Turkish Airways good too. I have used both before. Air China cabin crew look like they don't take any crap.

I guess the aggregators bump people a lot, sell a few seats at the advertised price and mess others about. Too messy for me too.

I checked the travel up company again. Guy got a great write up in the Sunday Times but it gets horrid reviews on trust pilot etc, as companies often do. There are a few others offering roughly similar prices but I have my doubts. I think I may be better paying 100 or so extra and avoiding this shit. I have flown Australia-Europe back in the day when you could get drunk on board and prices varied greatly from one passenger to another but I think there is no way they or those like them could so hammer other outlets. There was a London based crew offering similarly priced gigs but I cannot find them now. Cebu Air is offering 1 PHP flights. I wish they would offer 1 PHP hookers.

I'd agree. Also, Facebook and similar are notorious for friends of friends recommendations. G.

Unfortunately, this is common. Best thing you can do is to block and do damage control. She may share it or she may not. Maybe put out that you have been hacked. Take this as a lesson. Never do this on live video call. Better to send video that isn't identifiable. No face, nothing identifiable about where you are, especially if you're living with a partner. I hope it all works out for you.

I'd agree. Also, Facebook and similar are notorious for friends of friends recommendations. Does anyone want a 19 yo hooker recommended to their workmates, friends or family? The best scenario is to run a parallel account with limited contacts. Even then I would be extremely cautious. Certainly no dick pics or conversations with potentially young girls.

This is another argument for not even making contact until the guy is boots in the ground, in country. Asking to meet face to face and in person is a good way to weed out online scammers.

Good luck to the OP.

These are the guys I was looking for. They are all over social media. Always £100 or more cheaper than the cheapest (like travel up). Check them on trust pilot and they have5* but read deeper they write the reviews themselves. I guess the scrapers are 98% ok but if you are one of the 2% or if you hit a dodgy company, not good.

Next I get a message on IG which shows that she

I do not know how common this is but I do know a. A Pinay lady invented this scam which is real. 2. People have suicided after they were exposed so they do follow through. 3. Romanians were arrested for bribing a young guy into suicide, 4. NEVER show your dick. Anyone asking for that is either a gay (not a ladyboy) or a scammer. Women are not into looking at dicks. Just join pinalove and see them all saying no dick pics. 5. You may or may not get bribed, depending on whether your face pic is there or not. Say you were drunk / stoned / hypnotised / on medication but be prepared. 6. And never ever repeat.

Can a mod please contact me so I can spread awareness on this post or have a sticky? I met a girl on tinder and she added me on IG and WhatsApp. She then requested to facetime me and asked me to show her my penis. She seemed keen as we have been talking for a few days and she showed interest on meeting up. 19 year old girl. She looked pretty hot and normal on her IG. So I facetime her and she asks me to pull out my penis which I obliged, then after a few seconds she disconnects. Next I get a message on IG which shows that she was recording the video and she said she will send the video to everyone in my contacts list unless I give her money. I block her account and report her to Instagram and WhatsApp.

I am eyeing up scraper sites like kayak, skyscanner etc and certain agents are offering return flights to Manila for next to nothing. Example: travelup say 650 return, mostly on Cathay. But Cathay are charging more than twice that for the same dates. I get there are deals out there and some sites seem mostly scams. There are many, like lastminute.com I would not go near. Generally, I prefer just to use the actual airline's site. Selling at less than half price cannot be fully kosher. What is the game here and how should horny hopeless Harrys like me proceed?

I use Kayak quite often to save a few bucks. The only issue I run into is that some of the deals are not available when I try to buy them. Kayak is mostly "normal" flights. You can find some really cheap flights using cheapo air and similar sites, but they may be really long, multiple legs with overnight layovers, etc. It really depends what your tolerance is. Just stay away from one's that look too cheap or try to connect you with travel agents.

I have experienced this. Just ignored it. Then again I have limited social circle to risk. Nothing happened. I'm sure if you pay you will pay forever.
