FAQ: She says her load ran out and she cannot reply unless I top her up. Is that always fake? Not always. Prepaid load really does run out in the Philippines, and free Facebook or messenger data caps are real. But a genuine match has other ways to reach you and will reconnect on her own once she gets signal, rather than making the chat conditional on you paying. Treat the pressure, not the prepaid plan, as the warning sign.

FAQ: It is only fifty or a hundred pesos. Why not just send it to be nice? Because the amount is the point. A small top-up looks harmless, but it quietly establishes that you will pay to keep her talking. Once that pattern is set, the requests tend to climb to data plans, then phone repairs, then emergencies. Keeping the answer at no while the load is cheap is easier than reversing it later.

FAQ: I already loaded her phone a couple of times. How worried should I be? A couple of small loads is not a disaster, but it is a good moment to reset the boundary. Stop sending top-ups, watch whether the warmth survives the no, and keep your chat receipts. If the requests escalate or change to gift cards or wallet transfers, save screenshots and report the profile.
