FAQ: What is the biggest Filipina dating red flag? The single biggest red flag is any request for money early in the relationship—especially before you have met in person or had a video call. Legitimate romantic partners do not ask strangers for financial help, regardless of the emergency they describe.

FAQ: How can I tell if a Filipina is catfishing me? Look for refusal to do live video calls, photos that look overly professional or inconsistent, reluctance to share social media accounts, and vague answers about daily life. A reverse image search on their profile photos can quickly reveal stolen images.

FAQ: Are all Filipinas on dating sites scammers? Absolutely not. The vast majority of Filipinas on reputable dating platforms are genuine women looking for real relationships. However, scammers do target international dating sites, so knowing the warning signs helps you filter out the bad actors and connect with honest people.

FAQ: What should I do if I suspect a romance scam? Stop sending money immediately, document all conversations and transactions, report the profile to the dating platform, and file a complaint with the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov or the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov. Do not feel embarrassed—romance scams are sophisticated operations that target smart people.

FAQ: How soon should I suggest a video call when dating a Filipina online? Suggest a video call within the first one to two weeks of regular conversation. A genuine person will usually agree, even if they are initially shy. Repeated refusals or excuses beyond a reasonable timeframe are a significant red flag.

FAQ: Can genuine relationships start from online dating with Filipinas? Yes, thousands of successful relationships and marriages have started through online dating between Filipinas and foreign men. The key is building trust through consistent communication, video calls, verified identities, and eventually meeting in person.
