NO TO CUPIDDDDDSHT TAKE DOWN THIS SITE VERY HARMFULLLLLLL NEVER USE AGAIN BLAH BLAHHHHHH DO NOT USE THIS SITE!

Sorry for this late review. I spent days and nights on a mission to find the love of my life! No kidding I spent years searching. With my luck running thin and my time was just to much to handle all the girls chatting trying to scam me. Out of no where I ran across a pic in photo gallery and said Dam she was like a model. So pretty that if i tossed her in the air God would have keeped her for himself! Couldnt believe she replied to me and asked me to write back. Of course in the back of my mind I was truley wondering what was the spew she was going to tell me about her hardship. No cam no phone my parents ar home. But instead just a very good reply and started chatting online. I just r4eturned from a visit to PI and wasnt going to go back for maybe a year. Well after chatting one month i felt after all these years how in the world could this one be the one. I found myself truly falling in love with this beauiful soft spoken young beauty queen wondering when she was going to staert and ask for money father sick mother sick or something. But no stories came. And the only thing she kept asking was for me to meet her in person if I wanted to know more about her and guess what I did! I no 25 years to a huge gap and maybe its for me to take care of her and that she knows if she says what I want to hear she will win. So even tho i just got back an didnt want to come. I maxe flight in march so i had a couple more months to get to no everything bout her. And of course I was thinking if shes lying to me. Im still going to spend 30 days with beauty queen and worth the trip no disapointments and she was as sweet in person as she was everytime she talked to me daily nightly some of her every waking minute sucks. I knew from the time i meet her in person this is the woman for me if she stays the way she is. Well it was even better then i could have dreamed. But had to leave and when i left I had to return in just couple of wekeks that fast. I could go on and on but no sense. I met her 2015 visited 2016 3 times and 2 times in 2016 and brought her back in may of 2016. Love her she is my wife. Sometimes it can be hard but for the most point its just fine Aug 20 our 5th anniversary perefect wife thanks for us having the chance to meet here! We are both diamonds in the rough and we found each other

Honestly, the cupid sites they have interlinked are all a fraud I think. Yes, they do have real girls on the site, but they are few and far between. I'm a pretty attractive guy and don't have any trouble getting a girlfriend when I want. I was just honestly tired of dating western women. Still don't like western women.
But what these cupid sites are doing is really really sick. And I think I figured out what they are doing. Honestly, they have changed the methods they use. I have no problems financially and I'm blessed to have the type of income that I do. But to help out the rest of the guys looking for that special someone, I'm going to give advice.

So here is my experience and advice.

First I joined Japancupid. And pretty quickly I noticed that no response. I waited for a few months and then got a one-month membership. Instantly I got girls contacting me. So, of course, I started talking to them. But I figured out very quickly that it was the same girl doing it because she honestly was pretty horrible at hiding it. At first I thought she was just a special case and we started talking back and forth.

I read up on the site and the experience other men had with the site and figured out what was going on, but I already paid for the site membership, so I figured why not. I have nothing better to do since the virus is flying around the air and I can't go outside. So we continue talking and she mentioned her (money) and that she doesn't need mine and all that. So to me, that was a good sign. But two days later she changes and starts to mention her history, and talks about being poor and needing help and this that and the other. By the way, the name she chose to use was Kim Duyen. She mentioned Filipinos and that made me think, (no way it can't be possible.) Oh, but it was.

So like I said, I have no problems with money and I'm blessed with what I have. So I made an account but didn't become a paying member right away. Do you know what happens? Exactly what I expected. Over 100 messages within a 24 hour period. I laughed and thought (oh wow. No way is this possible.)
I pull clicked around and paid for a one-month membership with PayPal to be safe. Then I ordered a new debit card just to be double safe. Then you know what happens?

This girl called Endil contacts me and we start talking for 2 days and I decide to start talking to Kim at the same time. Endil knew right away that I was talking to another girl and said I was getting a lot of messages. That I was talking to other girls.
That was very entertaining and just made me laugh. So I started acting. I went to acting school for half a year, so to me, this was a bit easier than most. If I could post multiple pictures up, I would. Showing you all how many people (girls) that want nothing more than your money and stuff you can send them.
I bought some kids toys and shipped them off to the location she gave. And then I started to tease her with jewelry, gold and silver, electronics like Apple Ipad and 800 dollar cell phones. *yes I bought that. As I said, I have a good life.*
It really pissed her off that I didn't want to send her any money. So I decided to test her. I sent her $50 American dollars. To them, it's a lot of money, but she said it was small money. And gave me a sob story.
The same day I blocked her and went on the site and spoke to someone that I believe is familiar with the scammers. I attached a picture of the girl telling me the facts. Only about 5% of the girls on the site are real.

The moment I was done talking with the girl who told me this, some other girl came on and practically picked up the conversation where I left off with that girl. So I think that it's very interesting. How they are doing this I have no idea. But from my perspective, stay far far away.

If you do find a girl that's real, hold on to her for dear life and run far far away from the site. I'm going to find a way to not only report the site to the B. B. B. But I will also report my findings to the https://www.usa.gov/stop-scams-frauds. And I'm not going to stop there. I will make it my hobby to bring the entire fraud ring down.

No way can a website be filled with these many scammers and the web host owners not know about it.

If the chick is in China as a domestic helper it a scam that they have set up with travel agency- here is how the story usually unfolds- "I don't have a smart phone or computer that I can do Skype on, I left it with my little sister back in PI. But I love you and want to come marry you in US- Send money for my visa and airfare and I will come". Make them send pictures and google image search them, great way to uncover identity. I am copying and pasting the email from the "travel company" so that you recognize it.

My experience is different. Im a filipina and tried this site hoping to meet someone whos sincere. Someone sent me a message and asked for my email he introduced himself as Frank North and a seaman at one of the german shipping line. Our conversation went good he mentioned what kind of life he has and that his 52 wife died 8yrs ago and got 1 daughter whos 18 staying with her sister in France. For a week i started to like him because his showing sincerity. Then all of a sudden March 3O he emailed me stated that he bought some gifts for me mind you not just one, two or three but ten gifts. Flower, chocolates, iphone, laptop, camera, ipad, bag, gold watch,perfume and plasma tv and he even mentioned that he included 185OO british pound along the package. Mind you guys I NEVER ASKED FOR THOSE ONE HE INSISTED TO SEND THOSE GIFTS TO ME. Then he gave this site http://royalcargo.info my brother was a tech student he was able to figure out that this site is a scam courier since this guy gave me a tracking number show its real, yes you can track it but the site itself was a scam. I even noticed the word shipment was mispelled and shows shippment. Since i found out that his a scammer i did not email him about it i told him that i cant track the package. Then he emailed today april 2 stating that his worried since all of the items inside are branded gadgets and the money too he said he just tracked it and its on Hong Kong right now and he would like me to pay the fee of $3OO for the custom fee so that i can get the package. Im not a fool i replied that told what i know and i already reported him. Nows tell me if you think guys you were being scammed by females on this site same here we females are being fooled and scammed by men too at this site. I just wasted my time and started to fall for this guy not knowing his a scammer. Im still giving it another shot but this time more careful.
This was the email add of this guy: *******@hotmail.com
Please if they mentioned click on this site to track you package we have google to check if this is a scam site. You can key in fake bank rss or simply get the site add then key in to google
Fake site database or aa419.

I am a man 31 years old living in Europe.
Good looking, I am just bald, and I have to say it caused me trouble also there. Don't know why, I mean for some girls I wasn t so good looking, maybe because of bald hairs.
But trust me I am not so bad looking, I receive a lot of interest and messages from the girls of the site, but most of them I have to say, they don't interest me too much.
I met a few girls there, age 18-23, since I am young I don't think there is so much age difference. I hadn't any problem paying the site, just because I use a prepaid card, so I don't care if they renew the subscription.
However the experience with the girls, we as white west men think that Asian or Philippinas are different, serious, conservative, that's why I was there indeed.
Actually for that I met online, they don't look so different from west girls, from the many girls I met, the most of them were sex experienced, a few of them to catch your attention tried to say, they are virgin. Even if they don't. The girls of the site is not a question of scammers, as far as I know life is tough there, the commerce is difficult so people have problems to earn a living. Most of girls didn't ask me for money, just one girl because after a few days she said she was starving at the University without money so I sent her 30, just to help her, then she kept again asking money, and I said "sorry I don't know you, I can't ", she never spoke me again, and we were friends on facebook. All girls in the beginning they look interesting and you can create something, after a while they drop chatting to you, even via facebook, and if you say hello to them they seem quite bothered. Since I am a proud man, I don't chat to them anymore. Maybe they drop chatting because they think in a short time relationship, so if you can go there as soon as possible is ok, if not, they have a lack of interest, it seems to me very childish and stupid. Also a few girls were a bit rude with me, in the beginning they chatted with me they gave me their facebook, afterwards they didn't chat anymore, and seemed busy, they have so many foreigners in their facebook when they are good looking, it seems like hunting., don't like that, also I met a few of them with American boyfriend, but they have different boyfriends in the same time, and they were not bar girls as someone wrote above, since the moment they have so many men writing to them, American from their facebook are the 70% of the men they meet online.
I met a girl, she seemed very good person, we chatted intense 1 month, she also changed her surname with my surname because she loved me and bla bla. I never asked this and I said to be more cautious. Suddenly she dropped to chat with me, also she deleted me, on facebook, and I didn't do anything, I was quite disappointed so I needed explication, she gave me useless explication, I think it is because I never offered by myself, to help her with studies or her needs.
Now suddenly she is waiting for an American man, she said, she is going to marry next year, I said good luck :D , poor man.
They act all the same, first interest then bye bye. The girls were so pragmatic. Also I have to say on the website there are very good looking girls, very nice, but after a while, they don't log in anymore, so in my opinion this is a bit weird, either they found a boyfriend or they were fake, and I ve seen this happening so many times on that site.

Picture this... on leaving your office one day you encounter a poor, attractive and obviously hungry (starving?) little puppy. Good naturally you reach into your bag and give the puppy some of what you had bought to cook for dinner that night. On arriving at work the next day you find the same puppy who recognises you, wags it's tail and appears full of joy on your reappearance. As a reward for such doting attention, you throw a few more morsels to the pup and forget her (or - be warned... it could also be a "him"!) until you go to leave and the puppy follows you home.

You become a little concerned about this but this dog's a "humdinger" and whenever you go to your back door, there he or she is showing devoted attention, and lavishing you with apparent love. In return you favour the dog with more food but familiarity breeds contempt and the dog, now obviously dependent on you, starts demanding to be fed and cared for.

I spent a year as a fully paid up member of Filipino Cupid ("FC") and can tell you from friendly contact with literally MANY HUNDREDS OF LADIES on FC that the scenario I mention above is completely real and so often repeated it has become a pattern. The only difference is that often you end up feeding/supporting a whole family.

Don't get me wrong - I LOVE the Pinay culture but have found it so full of scammers and those looking to become dependent on "foreign income" (from you) that the pattern becomes all to sickenly repeated. Whether it is a scammer or one or more of the 110 million very poor, the result is the same...

I had one such lost puppy latch onto me over the last 8 months so attentively and tenaciously that I fell hook line and sinker for "her" (yes what you are thinking already will be confirmed shortly!). She wanted to know everything about me, expressed love and desire. At 27 years of age it may have been somewhat a stretch in believability that she was as she surrendered - still a virgin... but I was prepared to give her the benefit of any doubt.

Early in the peace, the soapbox (in hindsight) dramas commenced. Her 21 yr old sister Steph Anne Alcantera was hit by a 4WD and left dead on the side of a busy street and the family was so poor as to not be able to afford the traditional viewing (2 weeks), funeral and burial... guess who funded that? And the foods and coffees supplied to hundreds of grieving friends and relatives that visited the viewing?

Did I do any due diligence? You bet! Before I parted with a cent I asked for and was supplied with 1. A Death Certificate and 2. An invoice from the funeral home/provider.

Then the family home was rain and wind affected by torrential storms (from a passing cyclone)... guess who received & paid for the itemised building quotes for repairs and restitution of the damaged sections? Not to mention the regular provision of money for
Foods when Shamcey was crying due to her and her family's purported hunger?

The requests became more and more frequent as our plan for Shamcey to come to Australia on a working visa to assist me in my business and to get a new business concept I have been working on - up and running. I paid for her "requirements" - paperwork and clearances (health, birth certificate and police authentications) in order to work in the Oroquieta Post Office in data entry and mail items processing. I paid invoices for a dentist (Dr Raymond Bajasa) to attend her teeth so that I wouldn't be subject to high dental work for her while here. I even negotiated directly via Skype with the dentist for the payment of his bills - even the supply of consumable dental provisions he supplied my "g/f". I paid for her mothers medication and doctors bills. I paid for her father's air fare and other paper clearances to work in construction labouring in another Philippine state to support his family. I paid airfares, accommodation and foods for Shamcey to visit Manilla for 2 weeks for obtaining her passport and interviews I was told were necessary for obtaining an Australian working visa.

After obtaining the local travel agency phone number I paid Shamcey for an Airfare to Australia and all the travel and expenses to get to the Cebu international airport. I went without meals and paying my own bills to ensure she could arrive in time so that we could lovingly spend Christmas together. All systems go... that is - until Shamcey played her final card. I was rung up three times by a supposed representative of Australian Immigration indicating that unless "my lady" had AUD$2,000 in her hand or bank account for contingency money for emergency use, he would not let her leave the Philippines!

Urgent enquiry with Australian immigration indicated that once a visa is issued nobody can stop the holder of that visa from leaving for Australia. IOW - all requirements have been met. Now suspicious of being subject of a major scam I checked the number that had contacted me on my mobile by the supposed immigration representative... my heart sank when I noticed it was the exact same number that had been supplied for the Oroquieta Travel Agency to verify the airfare.

All was confirmed when I accused "my beloved" with scamming me - that things were not adding up when he - yes "he" suddenly broke from his cover and said "ha ha ha!, yes I am a gay scammer with a disease from Cebu", and with some apparent pride declared "you are the 15th foreigner that I have successfully scammed so that I can pay my doctors for my treatment!"

I felt raped... not only due the loss of substantial monies which I could ill afford, but I was due to pick up "my future" in which I had invested substantial personal capital (time, care and hope) in within days prior to Christmas.

Now I am NOT saying that the ladies on Filipino Cupid are ALL scammers but I will say that the vast majority are in financial need and, within 70% of the country female and the remaining half of the male population notably "bading" (gay), also looking for a reliable husband. This presents somewhat of a conundrum in terms of the combined needs and what exactly is the basis for their interest in you.

No matter what any of the say to you, I have found that expressed "love" is very much connected to money or a better life - and who would blame them for that? After all that is all they have to barter in return...

I have visited the Philippines and love the people. I have met many single girls staunchly and, against all odds, seeking to raise one or two children without government aid or indeed any financial assistance from the father of those children. Without expectation of anything in returnI have sent money to assist several of those extremely proud, but pitifully poor girls because I feel for the future of those poor kids.

I have lost count of the many fake profiles and obvious scamming listings that I have reported to FC who appear to have obligingly cancelled those accounts - but it is just so easy a new account to be opened... I realise I have just wasted a heap of time.

So... in summary... the number of poor looking to survive in this world is on the exponential increase. You supporting one or two is not going to make a difference in the real scheme of things even though it might make you feel good for a time. My advice if you want to find a good girl convenient to home and without the substantial additional complications, expenses, potential frustrations and risks associated with of establishing a relationship overseas, is go to all your local churches (not just for the religion!) and find one that you can ask people about and do proper due diligence on. The cynic in me says that whether it is a local or overseas girl, the stats prove that nearly half are doomed to fail anyway - so why spend all the extra on someone from overseas with such poor odds - lose less by doing it at home!

BTW... I'm still looking!

The site seems legit and most of the women are real, if not always sincere. These facts should be apparent from the number of messages and interests you get from quite ugly women, and a spectrum up to very beautiful or adorably cute.

From my experiences visiting the Philippines, it is true that Filipinas consider light-skinned American men handsome. You will almost certainly be tall by Philippine standards. Young Filipinas are also much more receptive than Westerners to older men, to the point that some young women there have romantic fantasies about older, foreign men.

Apparently, Many Filipino men do not offer much competition: frequently abusive, irresponsible, unfaithful, unaware even of the concept of satisfying a woman sexually, much less having the skills, and not financially secure.

There comes the problem. Most of these women are very poor. That makes you seem very wealthy and desirable, but also makes it hard to distinguish between the cultural expectation that generosity is a sign of good character, genuine affection combined with a legitimate need for financial help to get out of poverty, and outright only wanting your money. Their attitudes will range from outright scammers, through essentially monogamous prostitution, to unrealistic fantasies of becoming a princess.

The site will remove profiles of women who ask for money or otherwise are not sincere if you give them evidence -- so save a copy of your messages. Understandably, they will not remove a woman just on your sayso that could be from spite. The site does not block exchange of direct contact information nor charge for communication on the site. They charge a membership fee (lower rates for longer terms) to allow unlimited messaging with all members. The site therefore has no motivation to have you strung along by a fake profile. They do post suggestions for avoiding scams.

Remember this is an overwhelmingly Catholic country. Not only does that mean that the woman may be very sexually repressed by Western standards. They may also call themselves "Religious" when all they mean is a decent person,
There is no divorce within the Philippines and "annulments" are expensive and time-consuming. That means that a woman who is separated cannot be brought to the US. On the other hand, living together, including unwed motherhood, is fairly common, with such couples possibly referring to each other as spouses.
