They will promise that it is only for a short time and that they will repay many times over once their money comes through from some sale of a business, house or divorce is finalized or their inheritance gets paid out. Since these sort of sob stories are common with Filipinos, some pinas fall for them and come home one day from their 12 hour shift at KFC to find the guy and anything valuable in the house has disappeared.

Posts: 451Have not read the whole thread but I cannot agree more and am stupefied by what I hear and see. These girls are from all walks of life and treat most guys like shXt but are conned out of big bucks by what I can only assume are silver tongued casa novas. Known several women conned by Indian / Pakistani / African guys over the Internet.
In the PI, there are plenty of kuyas doing the same thing and taking advantage of the WG, DH, or semi pro. Likewise with women executives or trust fund babies. Go figure.
Latest I heard was around 3 mil US. In a way it is just, in that both sexes are cheated almost equally.

I am amazed at the number of women who tell me about guys who are asking them for air fares and other support online. It seems there are plenty of loner women too who fall for all manner of scams.

Posts: 3230Romance Fraud
The Australian newspapers have been running a series of articles about so-called "romance fraud".
The interesting thing about most of the discussion is that all of the duped people all maintained that they knew what they were doing and that this sort of thing "would never happen to them".
I thought this list was worth reproducing for the newbies online who fall for the clickbait lines.
Tips for avoiding romance fraud (adapted from Scamwatch).
• Never send money to someone that you have met online.
• Never agree to carry packages, or accept suitcases or bags from someone you have met online.
• Always assume that the person you are communicating with may not be genuine.
• Consider carefully any requests to travel (domestically or overseas) to meet someone you have met online.
• Don't feel pressured to respond in the moment. If in doubt, stop chatting and block the number.

Can you take rupees to local bank to get 100 usd bills? Do not use airport money exchange because their rates for any currency is horrendous.

Posts: 14Indian Rupees To Pesos.
I'm planning my first trip to Philippines this year from India. The tentative plan is to land in Manila and take the Genesis bus to Angeles City. I only have Indian rupees cash and don't have any Indian credit / debit cards. How do I exchange these rupees for pesos? I've searched the forums and I understand that it's easy to convert major currencies like USD at the airport and local banks / stores, but am not sure if Indian rupees will be readily exchanged like USD. Any help to this newbie will be much appreciated.

Are you talking about a condo in Canada or in the Phils?
