I am a Filipina but I was a victim of scammed by a foreigner for $40,000!!! It’s not foreigners who got scammed by a Filipina too. There’s a lot of Filipina out there who got scammed by them but sooo afraid to tell to their family and friends because they don’t want to ruin their reputation. Shaming, Blaming are so EMBARRASSING. Very hard to face it but I embraced the truth and my fate. Very sad truth. 😢

[@keithadams2368]

Yes it happens on both sides

[@WatchCaliforniaExpat]

Thank you for sharing the other side of this Donna. I'm sorry to hear about your experience.

[@Ego-Kills]

Sorry to hear your story Donna. But what type of scamming have you experienced? If I had to guess it is not love scam. Bad person is a bad person irrespective of nationality. There many bad expats too. In my opinion, many of the expats and Filipinas exploit(not scam) each other. The expat uses his money to get time, youth, beauty...etc and the Filipina gets $$ It is a win win Situation in my books.

[@findyourfocus]

Although not necessarily age related, men often fall victim to being O.L.D. (Overlooked, Lonely & Desperate). When that happens, more often than not, men tend to rationalize making bad financial and emotional decisions regarding women. Women can sense this like a shark senses blood in the water.

[@WatchCaliforniaExpat]

Good observation, thanks for sharing.

[@edieiyon]

For some people who have money to spend, they don't care as long as they get what they want from the woman (youthful lust). Most of them knows what they're up to specially if thy're in the 50's, 60's, 70's and their partner is in the late teens to early 20's. This kind of relationship doesn't last long. It happens everywhere but in the P.I. it's more prevalent because of poverty.

[@Oissst2012]

THIS HAPPENS TO LOCAL FILIPINOS TO .. WITH MONEY ..NOT ONLY FOREIGNERS.. THE THING IS .. 1. A MAN THAT BADLY NEEDS ATTENTION WITH MONEY WANTS TO BE GORILLA THUMPING HIS CHEST ..ENCOUNTERS .. 2. Woman who is a player who knows your weakness.. = BAD SITUATION.. 👌💯

[@ninadeguzman9702]

I am saddened by the information that I knew of in this video. One lesson that foreigners should watch out fir, is that giving money too much is not a healthy scenario in any way whatsoever.....be married first before giving too much money.

[@WatchCaliforniaExpat]

Thank you for sharing Nina, I appreciate it.

[@user-sm1rd1jj8e]

I'm a filipina lm sorry for your bad experience with some filipina too but many filipinas have good and have genuine heart for foreigners you know.dont hurry up. Don't look so much beautiful girl look who those simple .go and look slowly most is you ask God for his guidance to find someone who really loves you. And not your pocket.be careful not only a filipina are scammers but many of foreigners are scammers too.Godbless

[@JohnSmuloTV]

@@user-sm1rd1jj8e Thank you for saying that and your right, foreigner guys too.

Chad look sick. He is losing a lot or weight. Hope he is ok.

[@simonkendall4824]

I have had "relationships" or more "situationships" so still in the talking stage via ldr and i have to say the older they are the more elaborate the scams are so I am not sure if i agree with u saying its less likely with an older working Filipina. I am going back soon and this time i am getting my own place first before finding a girl. Last time i really was letting the girl have too much say where we lived and it led to the good old "oh my fathers friend has a place and they are giving us a special price" I dodged a bullet there for sure My advice to any guy including myself is be clear with what you expect, how your going to behave with other women, what support your ok with and how to handle the family. Its all about boundaries. Great job on the videos guys love both your channels Chad you did a great job with marcos interview btw

[@WatchCaliforniaExpat]

Interesting that your experience has been older is more elaborate scam. Thank you for sharing Simon

[@marivicreyes8325]

I think, this is the best interviewee you have so far!Your guest nailed it! He is on point, direct and clear. I hope you choose great guest just like him in your future vidoes. He just got a new subscriber!

[@jamesdeckard3194]

How about coming to the Philippines and learning the culture,finding some friends to hang out and travel with you will meet lots of Filipinas they are everywhere just use common sense.

[@simonkendall4824]

@@jamesdeckard3194 hey mate it's a fair point for the record I have had Filipinos and Filipinas in my life for over a decade with my software businesses. They are so easy to get along with and the family dynamics can be beautiful. The good thing about online dating is you can search for exactly your preferences. And you know they are going to be one of three possibilities a scammers, some one looking for support or someone looking for a real relationship. I have had more mucking around with girls I have met offline. But I also don't believe in long term ldrs it's mostly a waste of time cheers buddy

[@gjm456]

Wait until the first argument / fight and see how she handles it. What she does. What she says. That will give you important clues.

[@christaylor7049]

Im a dinosaur been living on and off in the Philippines for Las 20 years, i have spoken to over 2000 girls on these dating sites, probably 8 were genuine, not totally after money, once you tell the girls your not sending them money and you are not taking them back to the USA, you sought out the scammers or fakes

[@joem1070]

At 70 and well educated, I wanted someone who could have things in common. So I have only dated women with at least a masters degree. No one under 50, slender and her kids well educated and hopefully all employed. I have over the past 20 years found 4 women who I clicked with. And because they were busy professionals and had their own income and homes, it took the pressure off to become the great white hope. And it allowed be to explore and travel, sometimes with them, sometimes alone. And since I keep a home in the USA, my time is divided. I see dating sites like Walmart. If I’m looking for a dvd player, then why shop in the kids toys area? If you don’t have requirements then don’t be surprised or play the victim when you come out carry painting supplies.

[@TheMuttonHeadDigest]

You can't run from yourself.

[@gemmaleandado]

It is a more common scammer on the younger age than older one. I think the blame is on foreigners who giving them luxury because they will use to it so if you want to really find a real genuine love, don't lead with your wallet.

[@WatchCaliforniaExpat]

Don't lead with your wallet -- great advice. Thanks Gemma.

[@gemmaleandado]

[@erichschinzel6486]

Well said

[@jerrystanley6820]

Chad big fan following since day one so many you can live on 1k videos but should be said you can live on 1k a lot better than many locals do many of them will never have 1k month to live so you don't have to be rich to provide a better life for a lot of these women some may actually love you for that as well sounds bad but who doesn't want a better life so my conclusion is if your a good person she has 2 reasons to love you right as long as you both are genuine you have something to work with

[@nineseven420empire3]

Just say, I not an ATM...... To yourself........

[@WatchCaliforniaExpat]

Good mantra

[@ElizabethJobe]

Yeah does scamer it needs to get caught

[@Paulnhawes]

I think people should not lead with their wallet, don’t be a savior type. But I also think that people need to realize that if you spend a couple hundred dollars on her while dating it’s still much cheaper than here. Many men hate in America lose hundreds of thousands of dollars on women who are bad for them

[@Kimonha]

Marco! Marco! Marco! Chad is cool but Marco is deep.

Like they say, there is a sucker born each day.

know the pinoy culture. when you marry the girl you are really marrying her clan. it's a money pit.

[@stevenkrupka3670]

You guys act so blue pilled, especially the host

[@WatchCaliforniaExpat]

How so?

[@ParkerBG]

I disagree. But please elaborate

[@jcg4350]

I agree, the nature of a woman does not change because you travel in a different country. Your wallet and weewee seem comparatively bigger in Asia, but the game remains the same: female extracts as much ressources of the male in exchange of sex. Whether you pay upfront ( colombians say "prepago" ) or after ( during the divorce ) is just a question of time. Finding a rare gem that behaves as a real companion is almost impossible.

[@josecoelho5593]

Society now a days it's all about me.

[@michael_Jon7]

I’ve been here for over 2 1/2 months now in the Philippines and I’m loving every minute of it. I would advise every man that just go out and explore and become one with nature, all the beautiful nature that the 7641 islands offers. Travel with an open heart and good things will happen. The gentlemen that get “so-called” all of them are due to complete ignorance. In my opinion if you open your wallet and give willingly you’re not being scammed. It’s also of my opinion, that these older foreigners would never never get a young girl like they’re trying to get here in the Philippines back home 🙌
