FAQ: What is the fastest way to avoid Filipina dating scams? Slow down any connection that introduces urgency, money, or secrecy before trust exists. A real match can handle basic verification, normal pacing, and clear boundaries.

FAQ: Should I send money if the emergency sounds real? No. Do not send money to someone you only know online, even if the story involves illness, rent, travel, or family trouble. Verify identity first and keep early dating separate from financial support.

FAQ: Is refusing a video call a scam sign? One missed call is not proof, but repeated excuses after emotional closeness is a serious warning sign. A short live call is a reasonable safety step before deeper commitment.

FAQ: What should I do if I already sent money? Stop sending more, save screenshots and payment details, report the profile, and contact your bank or payment provider quickly. Acting fast gives you the best chance of limiting damage.
