Great video Mike and so true. So SAD 🥲that people do this - scamming but it's a fact. Stories I have heard along having firsthand knowledge just leaves me shaking my head, sick gut, disgusting feeling. So many platforms are being used, RU-vid is a big one and right now - girls are getting money sent, buying property, building homes and so much more. Gotta love it when videos or lives are posted and they are clearly sharing like it's alright, saying they didn't ask 😀. Those simps "guys" just got taken, tipical pulling on their Heart Strings technique; a little wiggle here and there, a big smile and there you go LOL! 🤣😂 How many times I have heard; she has never asked me for money. SCAMMERS are cunning, all they need to do is share pulling on your Heart Strings - hints along the way. "She is setting you up!" Guys just FALL for this. In actual fact she is actually asking you for money and why she is sharing this stuff, they are smart and learn off others doing it. The guys sending large sums, that's a whole other conversation. My question to anyone; would you do this in your own country? I believe your answer will most likely be heck no way so why are you doing it? This is the big question.

Sad that these simps keep falling for this in the Philippines and all over the world. In Medellin, scopolamine is a big problem. These simps keep coming to Medellin and finding girls on Tinder and bringing them back to their place. Only to get scoped and waking up with all their wallet gone and money cleaned out of their bank accounts. And some never wake up. I don’t think it’s the girls being that clever. As Mike said, it’s the guys just being stupid,

To be honest, the biggest part of these problems are guys trying to hit way out of their league. They are so busy chasing youth and beauty that they forget the beauty of real is on the inside. I learned a long time ago that an "ugly" girl feels just as good as a pretty girl when you are cuddled up in bed at night. And the prettiest girl is the one you love, and she loves you.

@randomyoutuber308 8 месяцев назад

One thing that always strikes me with a lot of these scam stories I've seen on youtube is they're almost always 60ish+ year old guys shooting for women 30+ years younger. At some point, you just have to be honest with yourself and admit its about the money for them. If one of those guys is over here and getting some face to face time and basically paying for play, I've got nothing against that, but to be halfway around the world sending her money thinking she's in love with you is completely moronic. Like you say though, they're trying to hit out of their league. If they wanted something that wasn't just some young hot thing milking them for money those 60 something year olds could still find themselves one 10-15 years younger that would actually be interested in them as a human being. Personally though, I plan on moving to PH in the next 2-3 years and I'll just wait until I'm there to try to meet women. Between the amount of long distance arrangements that end up being scams or last longer as a long distance arrangement than they do after you meet in person it just doesn't seem worth the effort to me.

@Mattock5656 8 месяцев назад

I realize that majority scams are around older foreigners, but Im 35 traveling to Philippines often and my last two tried to scam me out of money...they dont care who it is....The fact that I fly over there often at my age, they think I have a shit load of money. (I work for airline) always gotta be smart no matter what age. Its not about league, its about the fact that you are a foreigner and have a target on your back and they see you as a walking ATM. @@randomyoutuber308

Great Video, Mike. Yup. I got scammed too. I hired 15 virtual assistants. Out of the 15, two were scammed me. They wanted an advance on their salary to fix their computer. I was willing to lose several hundred bucks. When they didn't do the work I fired them. Now I invested in a time clock software that takes a screen shot of what their are working on. If they are working on someone else's project I can delete those screenshots from my billed hours. It also detects mouse and keyboard movements. Scams are everywhere even here in Las Vegas. I also got scammed with my VA from India and Pakistan. The only VA didn't scam me were from Jamaica, Serbia, Ukraine and Georgia. Overall Filipinos were hard workers and will hire again. In the words of Ronald Reagan, "trust but verify"

Sage advice Mike, excellent stories of guys getting screwed over. If it's to good to be true it is. Stop and think to yourself, " would I send someone I never met money even if they lived in the next town just a drive away because they have a pretty face and tell me things that make me feel good" NO of course not. Listen to Mike, he has talked to these same people don't be one of them.

@watersbey25 8 месяцев назад

I believe sending SMALL amounts is fine. There is Christmas valentine's day, and birthdays. Under $50 s month won't break you. It's cheaper than taking out a date in the USA. If your SERIOUS about her, and you want to marry her or fly to Thailand, etc Philippine immigration at the airport can ask questions as proof you're a couple. If they do, they will ask where are your sent money receipts. They do offload travelers daily there.But $300 per year at $25.00 per month? Come on

@@watersbey25 Hey that's cool provided you are doing it without expectations. With expectations changes things a bit. My friend Bob who first went to the Philippines 20 years ago had many experiences b4 I ever went myself. Never sending was his advise to me and and I followed until I met my now wife of 12 beautiful years. Giving from the goodness of the heart is a good thing. The problem lies if you haven't met is the father is sick the grandfather is in hospital like Mike mentions. If they know you are willing to give a little they will keep finding ways to keep asking for more. This is just advice of what can happen and that it does happen. Everyone can choose what they wish to do. Just don't complain if and when it may happen. Have a great day.

18:01 The most often heard phrase in Thailand & Philippines...."But My Girl Is Different" Men from Western Countries want to be the Knight In Shinning Armour. Don't Do It. Visit the Country first, meet in person. Then decide what's the best option. Take your time. You worked 40 years earning a small savings. Don't let your heart takeover. Use your brain, be careful. There are no replay, Do overs. There many great women out there. Most likely they don't spend time in bars, drinking and smoking. Have ready made family with kids. Find single ladies thru mutual friends. Filipinos love to help with matchmaking for their friends. Be smart and make smart choices.

Then, when he finally realizes I was right and accepts it, we can discuss it.

Im glad you put it so bluntly not to be stupid but wise to the depths scammers will go to get to your money. Not to underestimate anyone giving a sob story or asking you to invest. Ive been here only a week and had numerous individuals letting me know they have property to sell - not even asking if I can legally do so as a foreigner. Play ignorant and you find out quick who is real and fake among those you meet. John

A good rule of thumb…The amount of money he gives her should correspond with the amount of time he has physically been with her. For the first few months of getting to know her, if she is already asking for help for those other than herself, that should send off a red flag. Another good rule is tell her no and see how she responds. Really for the first few months together all he should spend is for the things they do together such as restaurants, transport and trips. In other words the things that he benefits from directly. Unfortunately as men age into their 50s and beyond, they are so lonely and miserable in the Western countries, that they are easy targets for these women.

It has happened to so many people already, Mike, that in the end you start getting trust issues when even looking at a Filipina. I know they are not all the same, but it's not easy to separate the good from the bad. Even when you are in the Philippines already when you meet a girl you have to be really careful. Who is this girl? What family does she come from? How does she live? Does she have an income? What kind of man did she date before you? I think this is where the services of a Private Investigator would come in handy and I'm still looking for a vlogger who can find a certified PI to interview on his channel. Many of you already had attorneys, real estate agents and immigration experts on your channels. I think it would be a good idea to hear what a trustworthy PI can do for us.

Great content, I think older men fall into the trap of a young beautiful philipina that makes them lose their common sense, I admit, I fell into it myself, im planning on moveing to Phillipines in Jan 2026, I have philipina in province, I send her some money to help with food and clothes for her daughter every month, I know my limits when it comes to money, and I know the scams out there, your right, im the one that sends the money so its on me, but I can afford to lose little money, but ill never send large amounts , ill see if it's true when I get there.

Don’t send anything! $10 for load turns into ohh I need rice for my family next, then something else. And….. if she doesn’t or “cant” meetup with you for long move on and find a Filipina that can and will want to be with you.

derpy friend i know is being scammed by 5 filipinas; one is always asking him to send 100,000 pesos to build her a house, one has promised to come 5 times, never shows up, claims customs took her visa, one is an obvious scammer, wont video chat, looks about 20, he's 70, the most recent one promises to come to australia, live with him on his farm with her 2 kids, just needs money for documents, plane tickets, air fares etc, he's so desperate he keeps sending money hoping that this time, one will turn up, he's 70 and they're all under 40, he's delusional, sent 10 k australian to one who claimed she had covid and needed to be detoxed or some crap, he's going into debt chasing this stupid dream, thinks he has to give them the benefit of the doubt, has to do things his way, doesn't want to admit he's been scammed for 5 years

Mike, Money is the first factor. A woman who is unable to provide for herself or is looking for a better life will be with a man who can give her that . Foreign dollars go a long way in the Phillippines so it does not take much to convince her that he will provide her with a good lifestyle. A western woman can and will if she choses see this in an unfavorable light, but when it works as so many do, who is anyone to think negatively.
