pirateTTT: your trolling DIA is like bringing coal to Manchester .. or bringing sand to the beach ..
DIA is for those who are a bit seasoned, can see through scammers, and are smart enough not to keep more than 1000 peso in their wallet, if shit happens, or so ..
A lot of girls in Dating sites are part timing bar girls, looking for the man in shining armour or .. scammers .. it is tough to say who is scammer, and well, even me have been conned, though I walked out of it all the time, though once i was palpitating when the girl threatened to send a posse to my hotel, until I remembered that I had given the hotel in QC when I was in Makati - still .. it was a moment of scare
Oh, well, even those on Live Video are scam - I can pass you enough video of live shows, more often than ever, they are recorded, and possibly played by a guy - though they get a bit careless and you can see tell tale signs .. oh, well, after all, Philippines is sort of the country of most intelligent people without job .. so a scam on a foreigner netting 10,000 $ to 20,0000 is like a start up capital for a business or the cost of a bungalow house, which will in return attract richer girls to the guy - like flies to shit ..
Oh, well, I can even remember the day group tried to sell the Rail ferry Virgin Mary as well as Joseph The Worker, no kidding, we were even given a tour of the whole ferry, and even the captain acknowledged the ship is for sale .. and we could even take for a 'spin' (in seamen terms .. ) though the 'buyer' a seasoned Indonesian ship broker, played along for fun .. and insisted that if not for his industry experience, he would have put the down payment of 30,000 $ ..
If the buyer had told that her personally knew the owners of the two ferries, his bet was, we both would have been shot and thrown into the sea .. was the best bet of the 'buyer' ..
No kidding ..
