    our battalion that some part of this money will be shared among both of
    us before informing anybody about it since both of us saw the money
    first. This was quite an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what? No
    compensation can make up for the risk we have taken with our lives in
    this hell hole, my brother in-law was killed by a road side bomb just few
    months ago.

  • Child Exploitation Online

    Written by CME, 2013

    Short article about Child Exploitation Online: why it happens, how and why to report it.

    cnn story about child exploitation

    child online exploitation

    Spiral of Poverty One Cause of Child Exploitation Online

    27.9% of Filipino citizens make less than 16,841 pesos (412USD) a year according to data from National Statistics Coordination Board (2012).  16,841 peso/year is considered below the poverty line by Philippine standards.  The Philippines is still a third world country with a  poor quality of life and a poor quality of education that enhances the suffering of many children.

    Unfortunately, the strong influence of the Catholic church does more to hurt than heal with its political push to  block laws that  favor of family planning issues such as birth control and prochoice.  Schools do not teach sex education so children grows up without the knowledge of safe sex. They grow up to become very young parents with even less knowledge about family or birth control causing an endless cycle of poverty.

    In a family with 5 kids or more, an only one breadwinner, with a job of a minimum salary of less than 300 pesos daily.  It takes a lot of budgeting.  The families diet consists ofporridge, noodles and sardines. 300 pesos is not enough to supply the family’s needs. In order to survive the parents are forced to make their children work for a living. Due to lack of parenting they implant in children’s mind that they must be responsible of taking care of the family specially the eldest daughter or son. Mostly it is the eldest daughter that is obliged to work for the entire family.

    Poor Parents Make it worse

    In worst case (yet common) scenario parents talk their daughter into prostitution. Some sells their kids for slavery or sent to beg for money on the streets.. Some children are exploited in cities  Luzon Area such as Angeles Pampangga, Cavite and Metro Manila to work as cam girls on the Internet to show their young bodies to the foreigners.  The authorities do investigate and catch the international and domestic sexual predators however the underground market for this activity still goes on even though “cam girl” activity is actually against the law (Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012).

    The exploitation of minors is also happening in other poor countries such as Thailand and Cambodia where those in a position to alert the police turn a blind eye for money or participate in what will lead to the scaring of a child that will grow up into life-long self destruction.  Raped of their innocence without the benefit of a childhood and not given the chance to choose for themselves what life they wanted all to satisfy the perverse appetite of people that know better but don’t care.

    The parents of these kids are certainly at fault, but if there was no one giving money for these acts, without pedofiles and predator customers paying for the activity there would be no reason to do it.

    Only We can Fight against Child Exploitation Online

     There is a that says:  “It takes a village to raise a child.”

     Its our responsibility to report these acts, confront the parents and raise awareness where we can.  These children deserve a bright future and guidance instead of being abused and damned to a life of being used and exploited.  The real disease is poverty this is only one of the symptoms.

    Ways to Stop Online Child Exploitation:

    If you know of an offender that is doing this report them.  The only way to help kids from being exploited online is the stop the people that give money for the act.  If we don’t help these children, no one else will.

  • Top 8 Reasons Why Filipina Scam Online

    Top 8 Reasons Why Filipina Scam Online

    If you are involved in the online dating scene and considering trying to court a filipina girl friend then you should read this before you proceed.

    With their beauty and sweet loving nature, its clear to see why so many westerners (Europeans, Australians, Canadians etc) would pursue a filipina.

    But there is a HUGE darkside to the Filipino dating sites. The Filipino dating sites are infested with gold diggers and scammers. While all dating sites have them, Filipino/foreigner dating sites have A LOT more than average. Here are the top 8 reasons why filipinas scam foreign guys:

    filipina-scam-online
    courtesy of 419-eater

    1.  Materialistic

    Its the little things that brighten a ladies day: A new purse, new sandals, a good lunch. Once they have a taste of regularly getting nice things, its hard to stop. Its easier to find a western bf online who will give money than it is to get cash from anywhere else. So sometimes they scam a guy online JUST for getting their hair and nails done, or a nice dress or for some piece of jewelry.

    2. Family/Parents/Relatives

    Most of the filipino families don’t discourage daughters from getting money online. In fact, they may even encourage them to get more from scamming. Much of the the money that comes from scams goes to the familys basic needs such as food, electric and other bills that are supposed to be responsibilities of the parents to take care of.

    Note: Bills, Yes it is commonly the alibi that filipinas use in scamming guys to ask them for money or it can be emergency needs such as death in the family, hospitalization bills or typhoon that caused damages in their houses.

    Here is a video of a pinay scammer acting and fake crying while chatting. Lol.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mzSV1yHUQk

    3. Poverty

    The first things you mat notice of you actually go to the Philippines is that its overcrowded and very poor. There are few jobs and too many people. The utilities and bills are much higher than the average Filipino can afford. Due to so much corruption within the government it seems like the poverty will be permanent. Poverty is one of the main reasons for the amount of scammers.

    4. Children

    What greater reason to scam than to get money for milk for kids. If your child had nothing to eat, do you think you would do whatever it takes to feed them? While its nice to help kids, a dating site is not the right place to do it. How can you tell who has legitimate problems and who is lying? You cannot. Especially not online.

    5. Pleasure

    Some of the filipinas find it a pleasure, a joy to be able to scam guys and get big amount of money with a very little effort of lying until it finally becomes a habit. A habit which they cannot stop unless there’s no more pitiful guys that they can fool. For them, it becomes a boost to the ego to trick guys. Its exciting to meet new people and scam them.

    6. Education

    College girls need money for their school fees, tuition and books. Since they hear a lot of stories of what other women are doing, they are inspired to do the same since it is easy. What else can be a better way to get money than to scam!?

    7. Filipino Boyfriends

    Most filipinas doing romance scams on the dating sites HAVE a filipino boyfriend. They use the money from the scam to feed their boyfriends, go shopping, clubbing with friends or outing. The sad thing is the guy online getting scam thinks that he is the only one but in reality, there’s another man getting pimping in background.

    8. Influence

    Generally, most of the people in the Philippines do not find it as an offensive act to scam guys online for money. When girls talk about it, instead of disappointment, they are amazed that filipinas get so much money out of it and so they spread the word and inspire other women to do. it.

    Its unfortunate that because there are so many filipina scammers, filipinas have a growing reputation in the west as being all about money and scamming. Its now MUCH harder for overseas Filipino workers to get visas to work abroad because they are questioned on their intentions of leaving the Philippines. It affects the GOOD filipina fiance who falls in love with a westerner because the family of the westerner will question her legitimacy.

    Of course, its not ALL filipinas that are scamming on dating sites, but its definitely many. And its hard to identify who is real and whos fake. Some of the filipinas you will talk to are more focused on money, most are just lying scammers, and very few are interested in an actual relationship that is not about money, but knowing each other deeper.

    At least half of the population of these women are already in a relationship with a filipino boyfriend or another foreign guy. And still others are recently broke up with a filipino boyfriend but still have attachment to him. Also, many are not even women but men that pretend to be women.

    DO NOT give out money on dating sites. If these people want money they should go to a charity site. Sometimes filipino/foreign dating sites are more like a corner with beggars than a place to find love.

    If you are serious about finding love or a wife, FILIPINAS make the BEST wives. They have many good qualities that a man wants. But finding the right one for you takes a long time with luck just like any other dating site.

  • ***scam Facebook Black SCAM**

    facebook black scam
    image of fb black fake ad

    Facebook Black Tagged ???

    So someone TAGGED me with an “I just got Facebook Black!” message.   I was all excited.  YES, Facebook black.   Then I was like.. WHAT HELL IS FACEBOOK BLACK?  Is it a new smartphone released by Facebook?  Is it a new elite Facebook page?  Or maybe Facebook is getting into HD Content & AirPlay Wireless Streaming like Apple TV, Roku and Google TV?

    Googled it:  SCAM, SCAM, SCAM

    Facebook black is not anything but a scam.  It is an aggressive survey campaign that leads to something malicious… I call it SURVEY RAPE.  Yes, that right folks.. ELAMB.ORG created the phrase “Survey Rape”.  Shakespear created 1700 words including gems like “addiction” and “accused”.  I created “survey rape”.. and also “survey rapage” meaning the representation of “survey rape”.

    Anyway, facebook black is a series of surveys designed to trick and forcibly gather data on victims.  Thus the name, “survey rape” a fate worse than death.

    Facebook black similar to some other facebook scams first tag you to get your attention.  Once you take the bait, the hook is clicking their facebook black ad.  After that, the attackers use a Javascript file to create a new Fb page on your account and you are redirected to a malicious website.

     

     

  • Is it my baby? 6 Hints that Its NOT yours

    Is it my baby?

    Author: Bry@nt5

     

    is it my baby is it my baby or is it a trap

    This goes beyond a mere scam.  So perhaps this is not the right site to put this on.  Whatever the case, here is my story.

    She got pregnant and said it was mine. When I voiced my doubts and the possibility that it could be someone else’ she claimed with absolute certainty that it was mine and there was no way it could be another man’s child. 10 months later I found out the truth!

    During the pregnancy, I had accepted it. For months during the pregnancy I thought this baby was mine. I provided money, emotional support and anything she needed. Then I got the DNA results back.. it was not mine. And I think she knew damn well it was not. She just strung me along the whole time for money.

    Looking back, I can honestly say that it was my OWN FAULT. I ignored all the warning signs of how desperate this person was, how much of a complete liar she was, and I only got suspicious when babies delivery date did not quite add up with the dates of possible conception.

    Of course, the best evidence on whether the baby was mine or not was DNA. But there were some signs that should have given me hints.

    Here are some hints by the numbers:

    #1. Delivery Date is Off

    is it my baby untra soundWhen she got the first ultrasound, the doctor said that the baby was due one month earlier than it should be from the first time we had sex.  One thing to keep in mind is that an ultrasound gives the doctor a very good indication of when then baby should arrive and when she had her last period  They can definitely be off and if there is any doubt its a good idea to have a second opinion from a different doctor.  In my case, she had the baby, it was even earlier than the date she should be due.  More information on the accuracy of ultrasounds here: http://www.babyzone.com/pregnancy/prenatal-care/uses-accuracy-of-ultrasound_79973

    I calculated the days over and over using “due date calculators”:

    https://www.google.com/search?q=due+date+calculator

    #2. Delays DNA Test

    is the baby mine - DNA testingHer first response to a DNA Test was to be pissed off about it. She over reacted a lot when I mentioned it.  And it was only when I insisted that she agreed but only if SHE could control the process of having it done.  When I denied her that control, she delayed getting the DNA samples from the baby for months.

    *When I finally got the results of the DNA test, she said she sent the wrong sample.  Since there is no denying DNA evidence, someone who is not sure will be very reluctant about a DNA test.  If she was sure it was my baby, she would not hesitate.

    #3. Baby does not look like me

    is it my baby?
    The baby had red hair. NO ONE in my bloodline has red hair.

    I guess this is pretty obvious.  If the baby does not have any of your features, you have a right to ask questions.

    In my case, the baby did not quite look like me. In fact, the baby did not fully look like my race.

    After I was sure she had lied, after I got the DNA results I wanted to How and Why she did it. And you know I think there were many reasons. These reason also add to the hints to be mindful of.  Those reasons are also big indicators of motives and intention.  Is this the kind of person who would do something like trap you with a baby.

    #4. She is a SLUT

    she put out a LOT its not my baby baby
    she is easy.

    In the end I found out that she had slept with many guys and actually she did not know whose baby it was.  She wanted to find meaning, affection and intimacy by giving her body up to many men. But she was also driven by revenge. Her boyfriend cheated on her so she wanted to fuck other men to hurt him. How do I know? Some she told me. But I also caught her chatting, and calling them, texting and flirting before, after and once… even during sex.

    #5. She is Incredible LIAR

    she lied about the baby
    liar. mother.

    Yet another hint of that the baby might not be mine was all the lying.  If she thought there was no way I would know what she was doing then she would lie.  She started lying so much that she would forget what she said before to follow up on her own lies.   Example, I Googled her and found her on dating sites (profiles still up and active recently).  She said she was not searching on the dating sites anymore. She told me she was no longer involved with her exes but eventually I found out everything she said was a lie.  What shocked me most about it was how she spoke with such conviction in every lie.  It was as if she believed her lies.

    #6. Mentally/Emotionally Unstable

    is she crazy?
    crazy. with baby

    I asked her about her past relationships. She told me terrible stories of all the terrible things that happened in each one.  She told me about domestic violence, and attempted suicide. Since she could never be honest with herself it was ALWAYS someone else who was at fault.  Someone else was the reason for every problem and she could not own even one. In the end, she was alone and desperate and willing to do anything to keep me.

    Women who try to trick guys into taking responsibility for a baby that is not theirs is more common than I thought.

    I foolishly had unprotected sex with a woman I knew was unstable. I used the “pull out method” but weeks later she was saying she is pregnant and that “it MUST be yours.”

    For some guys whether the kid is his or not won’t matter. But to a man willing to take responsibility for his actions no matter what… you are the coveted and often over looked “good guy”.  She more than likely was in love with a “bad boy” and she will be smart enough by this time to tell the difference so she will see you coming a mile away.  I realize that a woman that could pin that kind of responsibility on a guy that is good to her is both ruthless and desperate or just desperately in love and willing to be ruthless.   For guys that are willing to do the right thing, just make sure you are not being deceived while you attempt to doing the right thing.  And really, if the child is yours but had to question her honesty and faithfulness maybe you want to just care for the child and leave her ass alone.

  • Travel expense and visa fee scam

    Travel expense and visa fee scam

    One common scam is the “Travel expense and visa fee” scam. How it works is that the scammer establishes a need for the potential victim to give money for a plane ticket to the location of the victim. The need is established by some sort of incentive. For example, they scammer will lie about how they feel about the victim to create false relationship (romance scam). Sometimes the scammer will tell the victim that their has been an emergency and they need money to travel. Once the money is wired to from the victim to the scammer (usually via Western Union, MoneyGram, Xoom or other methods), the scammer takes the money and runs.

    Travel expense and visa fee scam
    In this scam the scammer will say that he/she wants to visit you but doesn’t have enough money to pay for his/her plane ticket and travel expenses. They will then suggest that you send them the money so they can purchase a plane ticket. Shortly later they will tell you they need additional money for a passport, visa fees, transportation to the airport and miscellaneous expenses. In some cases they will also tell the victim that the visa requirements state that they need to have a certain amount of money in their bank account so they can proof to the immigration official that they have sufficient funds for their visa. Some scammers will show fake copies of plane tickets, visas or other documents to make the travel plans appear to be authentic. After wiring the money the victim waits at the airport patiently with a bunch of flowers for his/her love of their life to arrive. Only when all passengers are off the plane and the scammer doesn’t show up do they realize that they’ve been scammed. In order to avoid these scams never send money for any travel related expense, instead make it clear that you will travel to meet them AFTER you have spent considerable time chatting to them for many months. Also, make it clear that you will never send any money to anyone you meet online. If the person is genuine they should be very happy that you will travel to meet them, if they are a scammer and sense that they will never receive any money you will probably find that they disappear as soon as they realize they will never receive any financial benefit from communicating with you.
