A reddit report about a romance scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

So I was on tinder swiping and came across a Filipina girl, she looked cute so I added her shortly after she messaged “I love your tattoos” so we got talking nothing odd just general convo. She asked if I had Whats. App so I messaged her on there we got talking again all normal convo nothing suspicious she was just interested in my tats and stuff. Soon after that I was like f it wanna ft as I was bored anyway she said sure but please don’t just show me your d\*ck I’ve had that before, I had no intention to anyway called her and she answered, exactly the same girl as in the pics, she works from home and lives alone in Manila even showed me her apartment, we were just having normal convo about the difference between UK and the Philippines, she’s 23 and has done a lot of travelling round Asia lot of pics of her and her travel stuff on her insta, I’ve had these weird scams before asking me to show stuff and never did but I spent 2 hours on Face. Time to this girl having good conversation, I’ve been to Manila once and said I wanted to go back she said that she’d be down to hangout if I ever came back said she could show me some cool stuff which I’d be down for but I’m skeptical She didn’t ask for money, said she has a good enough job and enjoys it, her pics all match the person I was speaking to and she showed an actual interest in what I was saying, it’s 5am for me so we decided to call it a night but she said she’d text me later on and we could call again, does this sound like a genuine normal Filipina girl or is this part of some bigger plan, maybe I overthink these things her names Isabel if that means anything or the name rings a bell..
