I'm posting this on behalf of another member who wants to stay anonymous. The reason is obvious.
For quite a while, this person sent money to a woman who is about 40 years younger than him. They had exchanged promises to be together, and just before she was supposed to arrive, he sent a final ₱25,000. After she received the money, she blocked him. He feels he was taken advantage of to the very end.
What he wants to know is whether a situation like this constitutes fraud under Philippine law, or whether he would need more evidence that she deliberately deceived him in order to get the money.
Sending money doesn't obligate the other person to enter a relationship, regardless of the age gap. People can change their minds even after making a promise. But the fact that she blocked him right after receiving the money naturally raises suspicion.
Where does the legal line fall, and would taking this to the barangay change anything?
You should sue yourself for being such a sucker.
Why do men, any men, do this? They wouldn't do it while dating in their own countries, would they?
What if you posted her photo in an expat group to warn others? Do you think it's a good idea or a bad one?
Only send what you can afford to lose. I've been with my girlfriend for two years, and I've only asked her for money twice, and she paid me back both times. The first time was because I couldn't pay my utility bills, and she paid me back a week later. The other time was for my Japan visa application, since I had to show that I had a large amount of money in my bank account beforehand. Usually I transfer money to her BPI account and withdraw it as cash from an ATM while it's there, but this time I needed a statement of account, so I asked if she could keep it in her account for a few months. So I sent 10k every few weeks for several months. By the end, I think there was about 120k. She paid back every single peso. (She ended up spending all of it on our trip for two, but that was my decision) 😂😂😂
