Better yet a dual sim phone, one SIM for business / personal use & the other SIM for punting.
Same for email accounts & social accounts. A real one & a fake one for punting.
FB is so invasive even with all the privacy settings maxed out that I end up 'disabling' it between uses & avoid using it as much as possible.
Tinder / Vine et al are up front.
Both parties know why they are on there. No be. S.
Game on.

My FB page doesn't have my phone number, and I have no problems communicating.
When I did try putting my number in ("for greater security" they claimed?) It meant I was getting SMS / TXT messages for notifications, as well as directly to my FB page, I didn't need that.

I do see her regular on Pinalove, maybe I should share her handle with you and see how it goes, just for fun let's see what happens. Also next time if I need help I am surely messaging you. LOL.

Posts: 3094I know several guys (including myself) who have helped any number of bona fide hard luck cases but no where near my life savings.

Posts: 3280Pawning and 5/6
As usurious as pawning and 5/6 is, it is the last financing available for the common Filipino. It can make the difference whether there is something to eat or not.
As you look around there are many pawn shops in Phil. I remember a girl that would pawn her "gold" necklace every other month for P500. That 2 k necklace probably ended up costing her 5 k over a short life time of pawning.
I remember a taxi driver in Davao telling me his wife ran a sari sari store out of their house. The BIR caught up with him and he borrowed 5/6 each month to pay the monthly fee. He didn't have enough for the yearly fee which would have been much cheaper.
Sadly when you are low / no income pawning is a way of life.

Posts: 4567Oh, why so skeptical? I had a gal who asked for help immediately after the big Leyte / Samar / North Cebu disaster typhoon. Her house was completely destroyed. They needed food.
She is a very industrious gal since she was able to find the one Internet cafe with a connection despite the power being out in that area.
Out of the pity of my heart, I sent her my life savings. I hope she's in much better condition now, but I haven't heard from her since. X.

Another guiding principle, is they they did fine before you met you, and they will do fine long after you are gone. Don't be " guilted " into parting with money.
There's a who army of princesses in Angeles who all get WU support from guys who they bonked once, and who feel a need to send them money every month. Thats just plain weird to me.

Thank you these are really good suggestions, I never realized that my phone no. Could be linked to my FB account till these two women send me friend requests. I agree I have been naive and to an extent lazy. Also I really did not have a choice since I am still in my home country and to had add and chat on viber / WhatsApp with the same number. The smart thing to do would be to remove the phone number from FB till I get a mongering number once I step into Manila.

Thanks for the suggestions: will give them a go.
I'm in Bonifacio, south of Makati. Clearly not the best place by far for this kind of thing, but my main purpose here is business. Once or twice a week "a bit on the side" is enough for me, so business locality more important than shag locality.
