My friend has had an online courtship with a fillippino woman for three and a half years, she keeps saying she is coming to live with him in England but never comes, he has sent money for her air fair and her two daughters and still she does not come. He has sent her thousands of pounds and is still sending her £130 - 00 per week english sterling, she says she will be coming on the 9th or 16th of April now if she can get a flight, she says that she has had her air tickets for over a year now and that they are still valid as she can change the travel dates on her air tickets, i think she is lying and i am afraid that my friend is getting ill because he is sixty three years old and works eighteen hours a day, seven days a week to send her the money every week, it is supposed to be for a house that they are buying together, i doubt it. He has only one photograph of her and has not ever met her in person, she must be living the life of a Queen, can somebody please help or is it a scam?.

You should have here investigated for internet fraud. Unfortunately it does sound like a scam there numerous ways to scam vulnerable people over the internet. I know in the US they are really cracking down on it. I would tell your friend to stop sending money immediately if she was at all interested or in love like she is claiming come hell or highwater she would have been there already!

She's never going to come to England. If she hasn't by now, she's scamming. Many of them do so since they know that older, lonely western guys with no prospects in their own country can be very desperate. They know they can keep them hanging on, sending money with the promise of marriage in the future. This has happened to 4 men that I know. 2 never met their future intended - they even went to their "brides" countries and found out that they were either married already or had no intention of ever leaving/marrying. The other 2 brought their brides back and one was divorced within 3 years (she ran off with a guy from her own culture living in the U.S.) and the other left after 6 years - once she got a college degree and found younger, more attractive guys to be with. It's a sad situation all around. While this doesn't happen to everyone, it happens quite a bit.

definitely a scam, why would any moron send her money to someone whom he never met, for all you know the 'she' may be 'he' preying on his guliblitiy & stuipdity, for 31/2 years, jees, if she really wants to go & live with him, even if she travels by sailing boat she'll reached there by now, let him know & stop him from sending her more money, that, you'll be helping him, & do not let him read her emails to him

no, he must stop, she is scamming him, I know about philpino women from in the military they are all about money! he's being an old fool and she's laughing about him with her friends.One asked for $ for a new car because she said used car isn't good enough, to a man who used to help her out, then he said said go away I'm sick of you --she said 'ok for $10,000. I go away'. in the Army they call them bucket heads.

wow - he needs to get rid of this woman either way. Even if she is real, shes just using him - if she loved him or whatever, she wouldnt be having him work allthe time for money she can make herself
