THE SCAM: THE CLONE

BACK TO BASICS:

If you have a lady who claims she is 100% loyal to you, and says that she has closed up her account in the Pen-Pal Club you met in, then for God Sake use the most basic tool available to you. After you have learned her name (first and last) and the city she is currently in, as well as the city and province she is originally from, then GOOGLE her! She may change her last name, but try various combinations, using the information she has told you. Most often, you can find her by simply searching her first name and her city or cities. You may be shocked to find that she has accounts in MANY different internet clubs! Ladies who know how to scam often have numerous web-based email accounts, so don't be afraid to GOOGLE her email addresses also!. Try this same technique using many different search engines. If she is serious to you, then it would be reasonable to ask her to delete any and all Pen Pal and/or Matrimonial Club or Service Profiles. (HINT: should you find she has other profiles on the internet, instead of confronting her immediately, you might wish to ask her if she has any other profiles or if she has closed all profiles she has. This will also serve as a good indicator as to whether she is frank and honest to you.)

THE SCAM: THE CLONE

It seems that in the Philippines the name does not have to be “exactly” as it is on her identification, as long as the confirm number is correct and exact. For example only: Lets say you have a lady named “Janna” who says the lives in Cebu, (her profile says she is 24 yrs old, 5‘1” tall); Then there is “Janice” in Zamboanga (who‘s profile says she is 5‘7” tall); and Janeese in Manila, (who‘s profile says she is 5‘4” tall) (Or even Just “Jan“). And let’s suppose the family (last) names are also somewhat similar, such as Roblas, Robler or Nobles. (Or anything similar).
There are usually other slight differences in the profiles as well, such as different heights, weights, Occupation and education. For purposes of this scam, these variables are not important, we must focus on the NAMES, especially if there are any similarities. Also, be sure to examine the photos closely because sometimes she will use her own photos with different dress and hairstyles.
