How old is this girl? She looks about 15. I'm sorry, my friend, but she is probably taking money from anyone she can. These scammers are a dime a dozen. Offer to go live with her there and see what she says.

given that just about everyone on her friend's list is older, single white guy - that should be a big red flag.  perhaps messaging some of the other guys on her friend's list and compare notes.  you

Yes, she is on facebook asking men to be her bf. AND she looks really young. She is obviously trolling for men and money.  I feel sorry for this guy. Must be his first scammer.

Are you serious? He didn't say anything about not meeting in person, not even not videochatting. Some people honestly.

This is going to be harsh but -

 

Dude, sure you and a bunch of other guys are in love - based on her Facebook page. Also there are selfies of her and a guy laid down and some with the kids, but in some of the photos she looks super young.

 

Plus you have three Facebook profiles friends with her which is interesting. 

 

From a Brit, this is about as harsh as it gets...! :jest:

Merry Christmas...

Congratulations! I can see from her facebook page she has been looking for the right man and now she found that man in you!

 

Just marry her ASAP, go to meet her and file for your spousal visa. 

 

Are you sure you are sending the money properly? You can save on wire fees if you send more money at once, I suggest sending $9K or more now and you can wait more time before sending again. Congrats again and best of luck!

The sergeant provides a little “advice” for those who receive a Facebook friend request from an unknown woman:

1. Go to the closest mirror.

2. Look at yourself.

3. Give yourself an honest review and realize that there is no reason in the world that an attractive lady from the Philippines wants to be your friend.

4. Return to the computer and delete the friend request.

You have to meet in person several times before moving forward. A long time ago, when chat was just invented (really), I was a teenager and I meet several people chatting. I can tell you it is not the same as meeting in person. I bored myself to death by meeting people in real life.

 this not a scam with her I'll talk to her several times trust her I don't care what you say
