My girlfriend was held at a police station for 48 hours for a debt. Debt was paid and she was released. Will this disqualify her4 for a Visa. And if not and we get married there in the Philippines, what is that Visa Called?

I know of several sad cases where no one could convince the guy he was being scammed even telling him to his face he was stupid. One even the scammer's sister told him she was scamming him. He ended up losing his US farm that had been paid off.

I am now friends with a guy that I warned but it did not start out that way. I knew the scammer so I tried to help him. I sent a FB message request to him from an account I creed and told him that she is married and he is being scammed. After a brief conversation he blocked me. So much for trying to help him. At least I planted a seed. Later because of my warning he started to get suspicious. He ordered a CENOMAR online. That came back as married and he unblocked me and messaged me. We talked for over an hour on the phone after that and we became friends. After finding out and confronting her, she said it's true but I want to leave him, can you help me get an annulment? Hahaha they never give up.

I remember his older posts about another situation that have been removed. He is not pulling our leg.

I'm not so sure. There are guys who have built expensive houses and show up in the Philippines to no girlfriend/wife and no house. At least not one that's theirs. There are some horror stories out there. Then again every Western man looking for a partner there is not a prize))) It can go both ways.

I did the same thing in the early days in the Philippines and it just resulted in the foreigner getting angry at me or telling me I was the problem.  I just stopped warning people after the 1st year or so.  There are alot of very stubborn people around.

I think I am being scammed, almost a day hasn't gone by without a money request. 3 months. But I've seen scams and she had pictures, and.... Well. A surgery, she shoed me body parts that needed surgery, a Typhoon, and I verified there was a typhon. A Grandfather died, and she sent me a picture of her standing next to a very old dead person in a coffin. She said she got a hernias', and showed me Invoices, Her Dad got in a motorcycle accident, and they would stich him up till I paid for that, after she sent me pics of his head stitched up, then He needed restitched, and I could come up with the money fast enough and she said he died. She sent me more coffin pics, I paid half, and she said she promised to pay the other half in 48 hours, but I could come up with the money in 48 hours. It took 5 days And after 48 hours she sent me pictures of her at a police station, and they held here for 48 hours till I paid the other half of the debt. I paid and they let her go. She showed me pictures of the motorcycle and it was totaled. So I believe her. And now we are working on her Roofless house from the typhoon, she showed me pics of a house with no roof, I paid for the materials she said they installed it, but every picture she shows me is not of a house with a new roof. I risked calling her out, and she said she is not that type of person. She did not get mad a flea, I said no more money till after we get married, she agreed. lol  ugh

Ive heard this story from a thousand foreigners.  I usually dont go into the details on this board since I dont want to depress the people who are getting married or are married.   I had a lot of trial and error before I found the right one.

Second time for me...LOL  I found out my first "love" was married to a German...  I was too young then and I think she only got a set of pots and pans out of me.  She said she was in cooking school.   I had my share of scammers along the way.  It is amazing how they NEVER break character and never stop trying.  Looking back, I have to laugh.
