ALERT: Dowry Scams

Dowry Scam Alert.
We got some reports about people who has been scammed about dowry.

What is Dowry? Source: Wikipedia
A dowry is a transfer of parental property at the marriage of a daughter. Dowry contrasts with the related concepts of bride price and dower. While bride price or bride service is a payment by the groom or his family to the bride’s parents, dowry is the wealth transferred from the bride’s family to the groom or his family, ostensibly for the bride. Similarly, dower is the property settled on the bride herself, by the groom at the time of marriage, and which remains under her ownership and control.

How dowry works:
In some Asian, Arabic or Muslim countries, when the man of the groom wants to get married, he needs to give “dowry” to the family of the groom on the wedding day, this can be money, material things, gold or camels (this last is commonly in muslim countries).

How dowry scammers works:
A dowry scammer will ask you to send money through western union, moneygram or other money transfer service before marriage. Also some of these scammers wants too high dowry, a groom from a poor (asian) family, should get for example between 1000 and 3000 US Dollars dowry, while a groom who is descendant from very rich family or has a straight ties with the kingdom the dowry can be up to 100.000 US Dollars or much more higher. You give the dowry to the groom’s family on the wedding day and not earlier. NEVER SEND MONEY FOR THE DOWRY THROUGH SOME MONEY TRANSFER SERVICE SUCH AS WESTERN UNION, MONEYGRAM OR OTHER BECAUSE THEN THIS IS A 100% SCAM!!!.

Description: I found her on tau2.com and communicated for 3 months. After she invited me to come to her city. I stayed at the hotel because of my visa. But the meeting was far as pleasant, she loves when you buy expensive things but i knew how to manage not to spend many money. She stayed for some nights with me in the hotel, the sex was normal, nothing extraordinary but ok for me. The last day before i left she asked me for marry but i say no then she went angry and awful. She’s just such kind of woman who is looking a foreigner for the money, just don’t believe her because she is good doing acts and misleading you. Just have her for some fun but beware for your wallet, also she loves to make selfies and post to her profile on some russian profile site. Later i found her profile on facebook and there was written ‘married’ (Facebook 5). On tau2 she has 2 profiles.

Description: I meet her on DIA past May of 2014. On July of the same year we meet in real in her city Dipolog and we decided to engage, we bought wedding rings there and we set up a date for the marriage on October the 15th. In September on her facebook she posted a pic with some guy named Daniel Robert Mark Stivey and asked Jireh who’s that man, she say it was only a friend from her older sister Ruth Dalman. End of September i got a message on my IM from an unknow man named James Smith, he’s from New Zealand. He wrote telling me Jireh and James meet in real in past august and showed me some pics where they are together and planning for marriage too. With this i asked Jireh what is true and why she are together with James, she told me he was a friend from her father and was helping repairing the church. When i asked her about the engagement with James, Jireh blocked me on facebook. Later on that year i saw Jireh got engaged with Daniel on facebook so for me was the end with Jireh Dalman. She plays and cheats with everybody, using 2 different phone numbers, she are nowadays active on DIA searching for more men. Watch out with girls from asia mostly only wants your money, or get visa and flight ticket to your country, or they are just cheaters. I spent many time and money to her…

Note from the Admin: It seems that this Daniel Robert Mark Stivey likes to meet very young girls in the Philippines, mostly only 14-16 years old. We have contacted the authorities in the United Kingdom and in the Philippines about this, including the evidence of it to them. They are already investigating about this case.

Description: She contacted me through an Asian dating site about her interest in me, we started our communication, where after we continued on Yahoo Messenger. After 2 months of our communication i asked her to marry with me Halal and to get the Nikah, she agreed, so i prepared all for our marriage there in Indonesia as how Helda wanted. I bought flight tickets to Indonesia, Helda and i agreed that we should stay at home of one friend of her. But four days before my departure to Jakarta, she wrote me that her brother, not wanted that we such quickly marry and he wanted that i first came for meet her only and to buy house. Because i already had the flight tickets i was forced to agree. When i arrived there, i didn’t get any sign of Helda, so i called her by phone, she told me that her brother was waiting and will take me to Balikpapan. Then he called me to my phone saying that he was waiting at the information desk. When i have meet him at the airport, he told me that i can only stay 2 weeks no more, i told him that i have a month flight ticket, he say that he will change the date for me, after we got into the car and bring me to Balikpapan. When we arrived there i meet Helda and we began talk about us. On the next days Helda’s brother took a friend who knows about real estate, so we began to look houses for our future, where we should live… but the days passed away and was nothing that really was attracting me to buy. Because Helda’s brother told me that i can only stay 2 weeks, and the time was running out, we finally found a house, with a nice garden, not far from Helda’s friend house. Helda took her documents such as passport and other… and i my passport,we make some copies of our documents and then her brother told me to put Helda Elyani as owner of the house so that she will pay much more less tax then i as foreigner. So stupid as i was, i believed them in the name of the Islam, and put in the documents Helda Elyani as the owner of the house. After my departute from Jakarta, Helda asked me to return as soon as possible to Indonesia. When i was back at home, i saw on YM that Helda blocked me, also sending emails was not possible, also she didnt pick up my phone calls… When i did a try on google i found out that Helda was again active on several asian dating sites, when i asked her for explanation she only answered that wasn’t she.Then i know that i was been scammed by Helda and its “brother”. I tried a lawsuit against her, but that country is a big corruption that was impossible to get back my money. One thing i was making good to take a copy of Helda’s passport. Be aware with this very ingenious and original scammers. So original that you will believe her.
