The One Time I Got Scammed By A Girl In Colombia

This happened a few years ago but I think it’s a story worth telling. It’s a story about the only time I’ve been scammed by a girl in Latin America, and it happened in Colombia. I’m not signaling out Colombia or Colombian women, but I just happen to spend a lot of time in Colombia so it makes sense that here is where I would most likely be scammed for the first time.

Basically what happened is that I met this girl online and we talked for months. I was planning a trip to Medellin, and this was about four years ago. I was really attracted to this girl and I had seen her pictures and chatted with her on a web cam. The only problem was that she didn’t live in Medellin.

When I got to Medellin we kept in contact through phone calls and we flirted on the phone, she seemed like a normal trust worthy woman. I was debating whether or not to go see her in Bucaramanga, the city where she lived. I decided against it because I really didn’t want to take the bus all the way to her city so I suggested she come visit me.

She thought it was a great idea but she told me she didn’t have money. I suggested she try to get the money from someone, even borrow it, and that i would pay her ticket when she got here. Here’s where the story takes a twist. I never send money. But this particular instance I figured, “ahh what the hell it’s only $40 dollars.” That’s approximately what the buss ticket would cost.

I went to a western union and sent her the cash, I called her and gave her the code, everything seemed to be going along fine. She told me she would arrive on the bus about two days later.

Two days passed, I called, I waited. I called I waited, and nothing. I started to get the feeling I had been scammed. She never picked up my phone calls after that and I felt like a real sucker. I knew I shouldn’t have broken my rule of never sending money. Eventually I got her on the Messenger and I asked her what happened, I forgot exactly what she said but basically she said she couldn’t send the money back, and that she couldn’t come visit me either. I erased her from my phone and MSN messenger list and I never heard from here again.

If there’s one lesson to be learned from my story, it’s to: never send money. PERIOD. The second lesson to be learned is to: never break your rules for anyone.

Foreign Women Only Want Your Money

Overview:
There are many ways to dubunk the myth that foreign women only treat you well for your money or to get ticket out the country. While gold-diggers and scammers do exist, they are in a very tiny minority. Foreign women don’t reserve this special treatment, just for you. They treat their local men, just as good as they will treat you. So it’s not just about the money as you will soon find out.

One of the biggest myths out there about foreign women is that they’re all looking for a ticket out of their country, and they all want your money and a green card. There are many ways to disprove this point of view but today I want to focus on just one of those ways.

First of all, I’d like to say that there are gold diggers out there and there are women who may be looking for a ticket out. So, I would suggest getting to know the person as thoroughly as possible and getting my book “The Global Dating Revolution”, which will give you everything you need to know so that you don’t get snagged by a scammer. But the reality is that scammers are everywhere these days, and it’s a fact of life no matter where you go or what you do.

The good news is that scammers make a very small percentage of foreign women, and most foreign women are nice, decent girls who just want to find the right guy.
By now you must know that one of my biggest points is that foreign women are they way they are because of the environment they live in. It’s an environment that totally favors men, whereas the environment YOU live in favors women.

When you go into a foreign girls home turf, you enter a complete role reversal from what you are use to where you live back at home. Back at home, you’ve always had to fight for the girl and fight to keep her, and it’s always been an uphill battle. You may never have noticed this, because you’ve never lived in a place like the Philippines, or Colombia, so you never had a point of reference. Now, if you’ve already traveled you’ve probably started to notice this role reversal on your travels, and you might have an idea of what I’m talking about.

So, what I want to do, is challenge you right now. I want you to go out into your neighborhood, or find someone in your job or in your social circle who is from one of these regions. I want you to find someone who basically grew up and has lived in Costa Rica, Colombia, Brazil, Philippines, Thailand, Ukraine, Russia, or any of the other countries located in those regions. And what I want you to do is talk to that person and ask them how the dating scene is back in their homeland. Maybe take them out for a beer and if it’s a guy, ask the dude, so how are the women back in your country?

I can put money, a lot of money that if you talk to a guy from another country, the guy will probably confirm that back in his country, the women are more attractive, friendlier and more accessible. And you can talk to any Colombian guy, Brazilian guy, Filipino guy, Russian guy, they will say the same thing. When it comes to women, you can’t beat their homeland.

But here is the funny thing. If you happen to meet a woman from these regions and you ask them the same thing. Most of these women will have an opposite view. They find that they like the dating scene, and the men of here a lot more then back at home.

Don’t take my word for it. Do some research of your own. Talk to people that have traveled extensively, people that are from the regions that I describe in my material, and find out for your self.

So what’s my point in all of this? What I want to show you is that any man that comes from let’s say Costa Rica, will tell you that when he was in Costa Rica, he had a great time with women. He was in control. If he wanted flings, he had them. If he wanted something long term he had that too. Same goes for guys in Brazil and guys in Argentina, etc. Even better, when you travel, talk to some of the local Brazilian guys who still live down there, and they will confirm the same sentiment.

So my point is that all of the men down there have a great life, as far as women are concerned. This is all due to the fact that they happen to live in a place that offers them great advantages over the opposite sex. So if all of the Brazilian guys are doing great with women, and you step into the mix in Brazil, why wouldn’t you do good? If a regular Brazilian guy has success down there? Then why does everyone, attribute your success to gold digging? Aren’t you a man also?

My point is that all of the men down there enjoy these environmental advantages and the main reason that foreign women will be more open and friendly to you is because when you step into that environment, you automatically enjoy the same advantages that all of the other Latin American, Eastern European, and South East Asian men share.

Now the icing on the cake, is that as a man who speaks English, and traveling from an economically advanced nation, you will enjoy a positive perception from the women because of your culture, your native language, and where your coming from. This is just the added bonus, on top of the other advantages you will already have in your favor.
