For Men Seeking Filipino Mail Order Brides – How To Put Your Safety Belt On
Contrary to what most people think, a mail order bride is NOT someone that you can “order” from the Internet and be delivered to you. Mail order brides, especially Filipino mail order brides, actually refer to women who advertise their desire to marry someone from another, more developed, country.
Many times, men want to marry a woman in the category because they want to marry someone who’s been raised to subservient to her husband – a trait that many men find very attractive. Asian brides, especially Filipino mail order brides, are big business on the Internet.
If you are a man seeking a wife, please know that you are making yourself vulnerable to scams. You may be ripped off by the companies offering these services and you may be scammed by the mail order brides themselves.
Here are some tips to prevent you from becoming a victim:
1. If the contact information of a company (on the website) is a free email address with no street address and no telephone number you can call, this should raise some red flags. Free email addresses are untraceable. Only ISP email addresses can be traced.
2. If there are no flat membership fees for unlimited use of their services, it should raise a red flag too because chances are they are going to rip you off by charging you per email sent, etc.
3. If you receive letters from a woman you choose, and the letters never use your name, but instead use endearments such as “sweetie, honey, darling, or my love,” be warned. These are generic form letters. The letter you sent was probably not even read.
4. If after two or three letters, the woman declares her love, don’t flatter yourself, even if it’s flattering. No woman can ever fall in love with someone she doesn’t even know.
5. If she requests money for anything at all (so she can come meet you, so she can pay for the Internet to keep talking to you, etc.) be very, very careful. NEVER send money. If she doesn’t talk to you because you refuse to send her money, that should make it clear to you what her intentions are.
If you commit the mistake of sending money, there will be more reasons for her to ask you for money, like some family emergency, delay, etc. You will most likely end up with an empty bank account and a bride who’s a no-show.
