Internet Penpal Love Scams &

Other Wrongdoing by

Foreign Ladies

Although the majority of foreign women who post their pictures, profiles, and contact information on international matchmaking and pen pal clubs are honest and only interesting in finding their life partner, there are many scammers ought to get your money and break your heart in the process.  Here are some facts you need to be aware of:

1. Many (maybe “most”) foreign ladies who join matchmaking sites ALREADY HAVE A BOYFRIEND IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY. Even when many foreign ladies get engaged to a foreigner or even married, they continue their relationship with their local boyfriend.

As a real shocker, consider what happened to an Arizona, attorney who met and married a beautiful Filipina. Even though the Filipina and the foreigner became parents of a child, the Filipina was always in secret communication with her continuing boyfriend  in the Philippines. The Filipina told her husband that she wanted to visit her family by herself on a trip to the Philippines. The real purpose of the trip was to have lots of sex with her Filipino boyfriend. Unfortunately, for the Filipina, one of her relatives was disgusted with what the wife was doing and the relative informed the foreigner husband in the USA about the romantic misadventures of the wife.

When she returned to the USA, the husband and wife had many fights over the Filipino boyfriend. Because of the husband had found out about the boyfriend and because the attorney was a millionaire, the wife killed her husband in an alleged accidental drowning of the husband in a bathtub. The police were not able to prove that the wife had killed her husband. She, as the heir to her husband, liquidated  his assets and moved  back to the Philippines where she now lives with her boyfriend and child, enjoying the millions of dollars she inherited after murdering her husband.

2. The real motivations of many foreign ladies to join penpal matchmaking sites is to: (1) defraud multiple men simultaneously of as much money as the ladies can convince the guys to send to them; (2) get a fiancé or wife visa to immigrate into the guy’s home  country (she will then divorce the guy after she has lived long enough to the guy’s country to qualify for a permanent immigration visa, a two year time period in the USA).

3. Ladies use a number of schemes or cons to separate men from their money, such as giving email, chatting, texting, or phone hints about their need of money to buy a cell phone (to receive phone calls from the guy, of course!), pay for schooling, or pay for medical treatment for a sick or dying relative.

     How do I recognize scams and financial scammers?
A big risk of international, internet dating is that con men and ladies run a number of scams to separate men from their hard-earned money. Each dating scam and how to recognize it without losing your money is exposed and explained in the Mail Order Bride Guide. Sample scam letters that give-away a scammer are included, along with simple rules to follow to avoid being scammed. Some matchmaking sites and services are scammers themselves by collecting photos of beautiful women that they just got somewhere with the actual ladies not even knowing what their photo's are being used for. Scammer agencies also sell names and addresses of women no longer available (e.g., they got married long ago or are no longer members). Bad agencies also look the other way as individual scammers post fraudulent photo's and profiles, thus enabling both the scammer and the agency to profit from the misconduct.
