Internet Dating ScamsIts not difficult to become a victim of the many internet dating scams, a quick search on the internet will soon have you faced with dozens of Thai dating sites and even introduction agencies, there's also many of the social networking sites where you can meet a potential Thai girlfriend. Some of these sites will make great promises and claim to have many satisfied customers. There could be thousands of Thai women available at first glance, all of various ages from young Thai girls to women in their fifties. However many of the profiles you will see could be years old and you only find this out once you have subscribed to the site. Don't get me wrong there are some excellent sites but you may have to "subscribe" to a few until you find a good one. What I see everyday is Pattaya beach girls or a Pattaya escort girl in the internet shops chatting online to their western boyfriend who may have been to Pattaya to visit. Perhaps he sends a little financial assistance and doesn't even realise she is a working girl! Once they have said their good bye's... She moves on to the next western boyfriend on her list. I know one girl who has a list of about a dozen men she is in regular contact with online, four of them help her financially on a regular basis. Is this one of the internet dating scams, I think its just Thai bar girls doing business and its on the increase. How can you avoid it, you can't unless you're with your Thai girlfriend 24/7. Unfortunately Thai dating has become very popular with scammers who often take advantage of perhaps an older and maybe vulnerable retired western man, who is genuinely looking for a quality women to enjoy his time with. Here's a few tips on what to look out for. Firstly, in the early stages of the online relationship, if money is mentioned or financial assistance is asked for be very cautious. If you are asked for money just say no and bye bye. Whatever you do, don't give your bank details or credit card details. Your online Thai girlfriend may offer to book you a room or whatever. Try to make notes of things such as dates of birth, family, jobs and her home town. When you do meet her and if these things differ, there could be a dozen reasons why. If you are not using a web cam or voice chat then I would suggest you do, if the person you're in contact with is reluctant to do so or makes a string of excuses as to why not.. Then she could be a he anywhere in the world operating an internet dating scam. And speaking of she being a he, is your online Thai girlfriend actually a she! there are lots of ladyboys in Pattaya and this is a difficult one. I mean how can you tactfully ask the question online. It does only happen very rarely but you have to cover all bases. If and when you do arrange a meeting make the venue a popular and public place. For the first meeting I would say lunch time is best and this way you can make a judgment call on if you want to meet again. Internet dating scams and bad incidents are relatively rare so try to have a good time.Just take some sensible precautions when meeting. Thanks for looking. Related pages Most popular pages
