What to know when considering a Philippine Bride

The Philippines is a poor country and has a reputation for relationship fraud. Of course there are plenty of good, beautiful and honest women seeking marriage with foreigners. There is also an active population of scammers, fraud schemes and old fashioned gold diggers. Some women seek financial gain and lifestyle upgrades, an escape from poverty. Others are actually seeking a loving relationship, marriage and something new and exciting. How to tell this difference is the key question.

If she asks for money, put the brakes on. Beware of family or medical “emergencies” where the woman needs cash and financial support fast. Know that sending money via Western Union is likely lost in the event that she’s a scammer. Understand that the scammers are professional criminals and are very difficult to distinguish between an honest and trustworthy woman.

Educated yourself by reading about scam and fraud methods. Knowing about the different scams will help you recognize any foul play. The schemes and fraud efforts vary in strategy, but all have one thing in common, money. Money is usually requested in the form of advance fee fraud, where the criminal needs help with school, medical, rent, family, visa, etc. You can read more about the fraud types at Wikipedia’s site for relationship fraud and advance fee fraud. This is a major step in prevention.

Once you understand the fraud types and warnings signs, consider a trip to the Philippines. Get to know her and her country. See for yourself who you’re dealing with. This is a key step in not only preventing fraud, but also in establishing a meaningful relationship. Take time to get to know her. A Philippine woman in a hurry to marry is a major red flag.

Lastly, if all checks out, get a professional background check by a firm with a local presence in Manila and Cebu. Wymoo offers confidential investigations and has years of experience dealing with potential brides and relationships in the Philippines.

Best of luck, and do your homework!

Where to go when you need Answers

The Philippines has been, and continues to be, a major exporter of brides. What drives this exportation of women is not exactly known, but clearly the corruption, poverty and limited amount of opportunity in the Philippines is a factor. The supply and demand continue to be strong, with the women choosing men in Western Europe, the United States, Australia and Canada. With this international match making, has come some problems.

International marriages and relationships begun on the Internet have contributed to a sharp rise in fraud cases and relationship scams. In addition to the unknown factor of getting to know a Filipina on the Internet, the fact is that the Philippine culture is one where many things are for sale, including love. That is to say in a poor country like the Philippines, opportunity and money talks. The problem for the Western men in the United States, Canada and Western Europe is how to know if it’s love or money talking. To be sure, in most cases, it pays to hire a PI.

Whether you’re looking for a background check to confirm her story, or if you suspect infidelity and require surveillance for clear evidence, we recommend hiring a reputable firm like Wymoo International. Wymoo and its subsidiary, Philippine PI, have offices in Manila and Cebu with years of experience assisting clients in uncovering the truth. You can view their commercial at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkopyZK3P1o. Depending on your specific needs, you might need surveillance on the subject or a comprehensive background check to verify claims of education, employment, marital status, address, etc.

Surveillance and professional investigations can be somewhat costly. However, not knowing the truth about a relationship in the Philippines can be even more expensive. Find out the truth by contacting a professional. In the Philippines, a land of fraud and scams, one cannot afford to simply hope for the best.

Best of luck,

Master Hughes asked:

Master Hughes well known for operating the National Meditation Center also known as alphacorps. He has shut down numerous scams against American men by philippine women. While he supports intercultural marriages, marriage fraud by foreign women has grown ten fold because congress passed the VAWA act to protect these criminals.

Master Hughes worked on one case where a young philippine women committed marriage fraud marrying an elderly man. She abused the eldely man sometimes beating him with a coat hanger. While the FBI has been made aware of the situation and the fact that 190,000 dollars was taken from the elderly man when the philippine women fled. The fact is that there may be a associated terroist link to the crime. The FBI and Immigration  have ignored the situation stating that its up the the immigration department to prosecute.

Immigration says they dont have the money to prosecute. God bless America where a kid can go to jail for possession of weed but foreigners can commit felonies and admit them and walk free.

Makes you wonder why congress is helping them. Immigration actually protects these women because of the vawa act. Master Hughes work has saved American men tens of thousands by stopping the scammers.

He has put out a video designed to help men know when there being scammed and to let them learn more about philippine culture. Knowledge is power, knowing about  Philippine culture helps the men create legitimate relationships with the women and lowers the chanch of being scammed. www.nationalmeditation.org

Recently a law enforcement officer contacted Master Hughes , he had been to the philippines two times and given a women a lot of money, only on the second visit to find out he was being scammed. Because men know very little about these women and there culture they are easy victims.

Any one can be a victim of these women, simply because men are lonely they are easy victims. The men go to the philippines often by them selves, and take a lot of risks. There are honest women every where in the world, but  there are also a lot of criminals waiting to take advantage of you. You can find someone to share your life with if you learn how .
