ENTER THE INTERNET
(AND THE DANGERS & ABUSES RESULTING THEREFROM)!!

Hopefully, the need to CHECK OUT your prospective mate is now very obvious! And this can only be done by someone who knows the customs, language, games, scams, legalities, requirements, etc., which allow for a valid and honest report.. (Enter the Philippine Traveler!) Checking out someone in the Philippines is a very special art. Especially since the neighbors and sometimes even entire communities are usually the family or town mates of the very person you are checking out! (Filipinos are also very tight and "clannish" due to such closeness.) In addition, one must know where to go to check out the scholastic, police, medical, marital and other records that might later result in denial of a petition for her to come to USA. (Which would of course result in a complete waste of your time or money!)

To mention just a few of the scams or problems Philippine Traveler has uncovered and brought to the attention of his clients are the following:

  1. In one case, as Philippine Traveler was video taping the house of the future bride, another American man was exiting the house! It turned out that HE had been visiting what he thought was HIS fiancée for two weeks. It was later learned (from neighbors) that the lady and her sisters had made a cottage industry of "playing the clubs", and wrote to hundreds of men in USA, with no intentions of ever leaving the Philippines. They even had notebooks which contained boiler-plate letters which were sent to each American/Canadian and Australian men they were writing to! Of course, each westerner was also sending cash each month. The client was ever-so-grateful to learn of the scam, and especially to view this on the video tape and photos. He was only two months away from purchasing his airfare ticket to the Philippines! (Big Savings!);
  2. In another case, a lady who professed to her e-mail fiancée that she was a virgin, was found to have a live-in husband and two children!
  3. Another had a criminal record from when she had worked in a disco club. This would preclude her from being able to enter USA. Documents proving the case were copied and provided to the client.
  4. In another case, Philippine Traveler was requested by a Filipina who is now a USA citizen, to travel to her house and video tape the house she owned in which her own brother lived. She was asked, and did send, thousands of dollars so that the house could be improved and a second story added. When Philippine Traveler arrived and video taped the house (inside and out), it was so dilapidated, no second floor was added, and even no rest room was ever built into the house! Philippine Traveler had to go outside to use a hole in the ground which had a plastic molding laid flat on the ground!
