It is best that you come over to the Philippines to meet her. That way you get to know the person and her background. So, insist on coming over. If she adamantly refuses, cut your ties with her. Something's not right. If i were in her place, i would be a lot grateful and happy if you came over to meet me and my family and then help me through the process of acquiring a passport and a visa. |

Sounds like a typical scam. Never send money. Go see her in the Phillipines. If she doesn't want you to come there, you know she isn't for real. |

Try to visit her in Philippines, beside its easy for you to process your documents to come here. Compare if she gonna go to Australia, it takes time and money to do that.
Make sure she is not fooling you. |

First of all, don't you have the common sense to smell a con or are you desperate to believe anything to the point of writing this absurd question to which deep down you know the answer yourself?
Just to humor you, The embassy doesn't issue someone a visa if they don't have the financial capability for travel. You need to submit bank documents, statements along with a lot of stuff and you said she doesn't even have a passport? Maybe she is also jobless. I smell a skunk dahling.
Hope you won't fall for something like that hook, line and sinker unless you fancy being someone's HMO. |

She needs financial help? So it means she will be asking money from you?
Rule of thumb : If your chatmate starts asking money for whatever reason, it is a scam. NEVER give money to a total stranger. Some of these girls would befriend foreigners for over a year and after that, they would ask money.
Always chat with a webcam.
During the 1970's and even 80's most Filipinas correspond by WRITING letters (no emails, no online chats). Filipinas back then wanted a penpal for correspondence and nothing more. Now, with money transfers and online chatting, it has become easy for anyone, includes those ********* e s who has nothing to do but con people. |

Something fishy, a typical Filipina who wants to marry a foreigner likes it more if you guys will visit our country first. To meet her parents and relatives, to show you hows a typical Filipino way of life so that you can adjust whatever cultural differences you might encounter. Be careful dealing such kind of arrangement, much better visit her. |

how long have you known her? Are you sure she's for real? I am a Filipina and i know it is much easier if you were the one to visit the Philippines instead of her going over there. It is not easy to get an Australian visa even if one has money. I am telling you to be careful. But if you think you can trust her, then, it's your call.... |

Get you to spend for her trip to Oz. Whoa! That is baloney.
The safest way is for you to come to the Philippines and do some sleuthing about her family background. Most likely, she is someone chasing an Australian dream and bent on coming Down Under. Then grab you by the neck for marriage and voila! She got an Aussie citizenship.
In most cases now, Filipinas marry for convenience. Don't hurry sweetie, find time to know her. She can't even afford to finance herself a passport. Sheesh! She will bleed you dry of your savings. Be warned. I have traveled overseas and it costs very minimal to get a Philippine passport.
You need a kangaroo to tie her down from leaving the Philippines.
P.S. Dating sites have slowly become prostitution dens. |

No. Go to her first, Don't let her come to you.
Ask her this simple question. "Why come here when I can come there?" |

Sad to say your being ripped off already. She has a bunch of guys like yourself all sending her money for passports etc.....you send the money and I bet you wont see her again until she needs more money.
If you seriously want a filipino gf .....take a vacation there. Youll see there are hundreds of young ladies to choose from. Trick is finding the sincere ones from those out to rip you off or have a guy on every corner.
Those that will marry you at the drop of a hat will probably leave you as soon as they are in Australia with papers.
Short of the vacation idea....see if you cant make filipino friends in Sydney....they usually have relations more than eager to marry off to a nice Aussie bloke.
Good luck!!!!! |

Yes it's better if you will meet her in person first before trusting her to get money from you. It's always a pleasure for us if the man will come and visit the woman and her family first before having a commitment. My husband went over there in PI and meet my whole family and I never agreed to marry him as long as I could not come into his place yet. Im also married here in Switzerland but I made sure first that he could accept me after seeing me and my family and after I met also with his family. There are some sincere women who's looking for a lifetime partner and those women who are true are not asking for money especially without yet meeting you in person. |

Whatever you do... NEVER SEND HER ANY MONEY BEFORE SHE'S WILLING TO MEET YOU IN THE PHILIPPINES!!!
She's already revealing her true nature already by not wanting you to come visit her. This is how you know if it's all a scam, when they don't want you to see them, know where they live and eventually know their REAL name.
This method of ripping people off is so common in the Philippines. I'd bet she's been telling you a sad story about her life already... what is it? Daddy verbally-abused her as a kid? Mommy made her work the cornfields in the rain at a young age? With her high grades in high school, she still got financially deprived of a college level education?
Then when she realizes she has your sympathy, they make you feel as if you're her only hope and treat you like a saviour. She'll ask for money for this and that visa application, often never enough so you'll send more... and then POOF!!! She disappears like a fart.
The UK newsprints are often drizzled with stories from victims of this type of scam.
I'm sorry dude... she's most probably a con. |

It's impossible for a Filipino to get a visa. Unless she come from a rich family.
I suggest you visit her and get to know her, and if you two like each other then that's when you have to file for a paperwork to petition her. She can't do it at her end. It had to be you.
Maybe you can help her with the passport application but with the visa that is next to impossible to get a tourist visa. |

Have her background be check first.
Your case is similar to the case we handled a year ago.

I am a Filipina. Dont send any money if you dont want to be ripped off. Unfortunately, some filipinas gave reasons for other foreigners to think badly of us. Come to the Philippines and meet her family and relatives and see for yourself if they think of you as a walking ATM Machine. Goodluck! |

you shouldn't trust anyone you met on the internet and don't send her any financial help as she can be a con...be careful... |

Two people? In your country? Who's the other person??
I'm sorry my friend but she is scamming you. Probably when she gets to Australia, she would not even bother to meet you and she would work there instead as an illegal alien. I believe that is her intention. |

Why should you trust her? You need to tell her how things are gonna work since you are the one spending the money. |
