Looking for advice on how to stop a romance scammer
I was in a relationship with a Filipina escort who turned out to be a romance scammer. She showered me with love-bombing and got a lot out of me. During the relationship I found out from her phone that she has a pattern of running scams like this. She almost trapped me with a baby, though she miscarried. Now she's in the Philippines waiting for her passport renewal so she can leave the country and escort overseas on tourist visas.
Her method goes like this: she love-bombs someone and sets up lovers or sponsors in as many countries as she can, which ends up with the sponsor or lover taking the fall for the immigration violations her activities cause. She justifies it, and gaslights, by saying she does this to support her family and her daughters' future. I wonder how it's fair for other people to be destroyed psychologically, emotionally and physically for her own gain.
She kept manipulating and love-bombing me to vouch for her visa and tickets so she wouldn't get offloaded by Philippine immigration. I was weak because I had a soft spot for her, and I kept asking for space and time to heal, but she refused and kept pushing about the visa. When I finally made it clear that it was over, she turned nasty, saying she'd come to my country with the help of another client or sugar daddy and harm me right under my nose. After I warned her I'd report her, she went back to love-bombing to manipulate me.
She's older, and her family will keep demanding a lot of money, so she'll be a nuisance in every country she goes to. That'll push her to run more romance scams on others along with escorting, possibly harming people, and she'll be breaking immigration laws wherever she goes by doing sex work on a tourist visa.
I'm asking the community for suggestions and insight on how to report her through the right channels, so she can never leave the Philippines again to do these disgraceful, shameful things that give her country a bad name.
Please share advice and resources.
Just block her and never give her another thought. It's not your problem.
Her life is none of your business. Just cut contact firmly and for good, and stop caring who else she sweet-talks or milks for favors.
Leave it be. Not many people are as dumb as you to fall for this
I ended the relationship after this post. I did the hardest thing and blocked her, for the first time ever. Everyone has their own judgments about why someone ends up in this situation; I just want to say love makes people do completely absurd things. Thank you all for taking the time to read and for your support. 🙏🏻
You could always try sending your evidence to the immigration office. Not sure they'll do anything, though.
