Scammers, being scammed??

[Le'em]

I am not sure if this subject has been covered but there seems to be a lot of scammers out there in the Philippines trying their best to get money from lonely vunerable guys who are looking for love so i guess not sending money until you meet is a must.

I was looking through a list of scammers and i actually found one of the photos of the women being used is one of the photos in the Gallery here which was very surprising as i am sure the member on here who posted it has no idea it was being used..

hello, very interested to see the link as well, can u send it to my page the link..yeah too bad to us filipina about all these people who think that filipina girls will contact and chat to vunerable guys just to get money and then later left...

thank you in advance..


cheers

Yes i will make this clear just so there is no misunderstanding;

What i noticed i have passed on to the Mods to look into. I am making no claims about what i saw only that i saw something that needed looked into and i am in no way saying any member on this forum is guilty of anything.

The Mods who do a great job on here are looking into the matter and its up to them alone if they want to publish their findings.

I will not be making anything i have found public.

No one is saying or thinking anything like what you are imagining above, so please stop this kind of post.

One of the members of this forum might have had his/her picture abused by some unknown person in an other website, that is what this thread is about, the moderators of this forum are investigating and will report back how and when they feel fit.

OK.

Smile and be happy, we all love, trust and cherish our Filipino partners.

It is now clear that it was a definite identity hijacking.

The person in question has been advised to contact the site to try to adjust, delete or change the details.

So all speculations and suspicions have gone, please folks take care of where you post your pictures, and never, never, ever post your mail address on open forums.

This matter is closed, but the thread will be left open because it is an eye opener.

Thanks Dom for this feedback. everyone must take care.

The problem is that if you publish your photos anywhere on the Internet, even on this site, you are leaving yourself open to someone using your photos for other purposes. And you may never find out unless you or someone who knows you stumbles upon them.

thanks MOD DOM.. this will be an eye opener for all of us,to be very careful in posting any personal infos or pictures in a forum or a website..

The person who stole the photo had already been caught out as a scammer but it just goes to show how easy it is for someone to steal other peoples photos just to scam people.

There are Filipinos out there giving Filipinos a bad name which is sad

True enough, but it does not clear the damage done to the innocent victim, whose only sin was to post a photo or two on the internet.

That is true of every nation, not only Filipinos.

The vast majority of people tend to tar everyone with the same brush, without making allowances.

There are, undoubtlely, many, many nice Nigerians, or real honest russian brides but generally we dismiss them authomatically as scammers, because after many yaers of hearing horror stories we have become conditioned to it.

I'm not a sacmmer honestly...btw, my neighbour has $40M that he can't access without a $5,000 downpayment. If anyone would like to give me their bank details and a payment of $5,000 i promise to give them 50% of the $40M when the money clears. Any takers?
