The uprising fame of online dating has drawn thousands of pinays to internet sites and programs that admit them to tie to foreigners. Male foreigners are likewise apparently attracted to pinays, if the number of on-going online relationships is any indication. Hundreds of thousands of pinays are considered chatting and exchanging e-mails with male foreigners in the hope of bumping the dream partners, perhaps as future husbands.
The comfort of which they intercommunicate with foreigners is unfortunately making it also easy for some pinays to scam foreigners. These scammers and deceivers chat with their internet dates and use an innocent front to win people’s hearts, so to speak. When the unsuspecting foreigner starts out to show a sincere liking for them, they begin to ask money for the cost of chatting with them.
The amounts of money being demanded are bound to increase, until online chatting grows to become a bread and butter with hordes of online friends coming forward as willing victims. This may not be a problem at all for the foreigner, but it becomes so when he visits the Philippines to seek out her online pinay friend, only to find out that she is as committed to other foreigner male friends.
These deceivers are master chatters. Although they represent an insignificant segment of pinays who are searching foreigner males as future friends or husbands, they succeed in blemishing the general reputation of pinays loyal and trustworthy persons. If there is anything good, however, that can come out from them, it is in alerting males from all over that the charming, beautiful and cheerful pinay may not always be good as tagged.
Online pinay dating has made amorous pairing easy and convenient for all interested parties. But it also has its dangers. Seniors advise that there is no replacement for honest to goodness courtship. This requires effort on the part of foreigners, like visiting the Philippines to seek face to face the pinay they desire before committing anything deeper especially if that is going to cost them money.

Hello
I am a foreigner who lives in Philippines (married with pinay).
Happened to meet a lot of other foreigners in my 7 years here and even chatted with more and participate in expats online groups.
Yes plenty of pinays do chat with foreigners and some are asking money, some do even have a whole profitable business out of it by chatting with 10-20 different people and each sending them a “contribution”. add them all up and you’ll have a very good figure made out of chatting!!!!
Yes it happens to be pinays because their average English is more than other girls in Asia
Happens to be Asian since is the fetish of lots of westerners about it (as is there is anything different than the looks)
No one should ever blame the pinays out of it. I am 42 years old and male, have been tempted to do the same as the girls do, chat with someone who needs love affection etc (needs psychological help actually) and is willing to pay for it.
Many times i chatted with these guys my self. I wondered how comes and they cannot understand the scam or the irony of it. Who said they don’t? They do know it. The answers i got from all of them were the same type.
Lonely people needing some attention even if fake.
It is them offering their “help”, they wouldn’t be exploited if they were not offering their self to it.
