Not all Filipinas are scammers. Far from it. FYI: My wife never asked me for money before we got married; I sent her money without being asked. Be careful:
And if the scammers looked like Kim Chui or Catriona Grey, maybe you could understand slightly why they've thrown their life savings at the girl. But inevitably they are dumpy province girls who already have 2 kids. If you walked past them in the street in the UK after serving 20 years in prison surrounded solely by crackhead guys, you wouldn't give them a 2nd glance. It's those girls who give me hope that, one day, my widowed mother in law can snag a rich Canadian guy and support me to early retirement in the Philippines.
