Report N1 (added on May, 22, 2007)
Angela is a very patient scammer, She takes her time and builds confidence and makes up stories about being in love with her victim and wanting to leave the Philippines and come to USA to live. This sounds inviting enough, but all she needs is, you might have guessed, money to cover expenses of travel. She actually traveled to USA at my expense of course and stayed with me for a month or so last year. She told me that she had to go back to Philippines to take care of some business at home and to renew her expiring immigration papers so that she could return back to USA to live with me. She told me that the re-entry visa would cost 50, I was reluctant to pay this much money after paying her round trip faire and all of her expenses while she was here, so I wanted more information before making any decision on this. She told me that she had good news, her sister was going to give her 0 so she only needed 0 from me to be able to make the return trip here to be with me. She got the money from me and shortly thereafter , she had bad news, Her sisters son had an accident and she needed all of her money to pay for medical expenses. I, like a fool, sent her the additional 0. Following this, her attitude began to go bad. The communication stopped being reliable, then very far between and If dared to ask how her visa was coming along, she would either change the subject or fly into a rage about how "you don't trust me". The " relationship" broke down little by little until it stopped all together. No further communication at all. About 4 months later she contacted me with a story that she was gravely ill and was in California having her medical needs tended to. Strange that she had money to make that trip. She would not disclose where she was or give me a phone number to where she was only would use instant messages. She could have been in Nigeria for all I know. She subsequently returned to Philippines professing her un dying love for me and her need to be with me. I had entered into a loving relationship with another woman in the mean time. She constantly claimed that if this other woman was not in the way that she would move to USA and stay with me just like before. I refused to give up a relationship that I felt was working well. Angela began to attempt to sabotage this relationship, first by simply trying to convince me that she was so much better for me, reminding me that the other woman has a child and that I would be responsible to bring up that child. When she could see that this was not working, she started sending fake instant messages under a fake name telling myself and my girlfriend that we were cheating on one another. She also pretended to be a man looking for love , trying to woo my girlfriend away. This did not succeed, but for an unrelated reason my new relationship failed. When Angela found out about this, she immediately began to tell me of her upcoming trip back to the states. This time she used the tired old ticket scam, but had a twist. She said she was going to pay for travel herself, she said she sold some jewelery for the money but only needed a little more. I didn't offer to get screwed out of any more, I had already paid her toward travel and she didn't use it to travel to see ME, She said the itinerary was "booked and confirmed" I asked to know the travel schedule but she refused to disclose that, I asked where she would be in California, what is the phone number there? She said she would email me from there, Yes, Sure, is the check in the mail too? Shortly thereafter, she told me that she needed 0 so that she could buy some new clothes and buy baby shower gift for her daughter. I definitely smelled a big rat when she came up with this story about needing 0 to buy unnecessary things, after selling her jewelery for need of money for air faire and still was short. She was just trying to scam me again and then disappear again, until she had a new story to steal more money from me. After I requested to see her on cam before I would send any money, she became a vicious bitch more that can be imagined, more phony than before. She became "too busy" to talk to me any more, funny for someone who doesn't have a job to be too busy. The only way to sum this up is that she is in it only for the money and to the men of the world, "never, never, never, never send money!" Honest people have nothing to hide and don't mind answering any questions that you have.
