.. . American National Files Complaint Against Fiance For Theft of 196,000php in Malate, Manila Posted on February 7, 2016 American National Files Complaint Against Fiance For Theft of 196,000php in Malate, Manila – Philippines Lifestyle - Philippines Lifestyle MALATE, Manila – An American national sought the assistance of the police after his fiance’ ran away with his money and valuables. 65-year-old Don Austin Peach of University Tower, in Malate, told police he lost a total of 150,000 pesos cash and some 46,000 pesos in valuable to his fiance’. The Pinay fiance’, 32-year-old Anne Marie Estrada, of Cagayan de Oro City, made him buy a lot of things for her and he even had a house built for her in her province, said Peach. Peach told police he met his fiance’ in August of 2015 through the dating website Asiadating.com. The two are said to have been going steady in 2015 – but then decided to meet personally – meeting in a coffee shop at the Robinson’s Mall in Ermita. The American national told police that he was flying back and forth in the country, but suddenly got the surprise of his life when his fiance’ suddenly left him, taking his money and valuables. A formal complaint was filed in the office of the local police, until an investigation into the matter takes place.
Its cheaper that way than finding out months or years into the pseudo-relationship. I think he should have trusted her with less money though, trust must be earned, not given on a dating site. EDIT: I googled for a news source and cannot find anything other than a blog link so I am starting to wonder what really happened.
"Made him"? Did she have a gun pointed at his head? Not that he should have much concern with having a gun aimed at the head on his shoulders.....he obviously wasn't using that one to do much thinking. Did she pack up the house he built for her and run away with that as well? Since there is no mention of it being sold I would bet it wouldn't be too hard to find her. I'd be curious to see a timeline of when all this stuff actually happened. Did he start building the house for her before they even met in person? A fool and his money...
"Going Steady" via internet , then decide to meet personally ?? How much "load" ,emergency cash and other bullshit help did he give before they met?? We are talking 5K USD here, be thankful you did not lose everything. Walk away and try and meet the old fashioned way.. In person.
He should just show up at the house he built. I'am sure the Family would love to have him drop by for dinner!
Actually seem like a cheap starter lesson(5K USD) to me for a guy who at 65 "goes steady" on the internet, He has so much to learn. It will probably take him another 100,000 USD to get smart enough to hire a helper to take care of his personal and ego needs. His next lesson will be when he finds out how carefully his complaint is investigated and how swiftly justice is served up here in the Philippines. Obviously he did not do much research on how the Filipino Romance system works here.
The way that I read the article the guy not only had his money and valuables stolen he also paid for a house to be built for her in her province. I did not see a value attached to that.
This makes me wonder if the house was ever built. Who knows. Maybe she was in charge of the "construction" as she knows the language, then sent him some fake pics of somebody's house in progress and pilfered that money, too. Good grief! If it's too good to be true, then it probably is - especially with less than a year under his belt with her. Good grief! nwlivewire
