Now I want to address the gringos.
What I saw for the most part where like I said decent guys who are tired of the feminist, materialistic, selfish, self centered, fat women who live in the U.S., Canada and Europe. They come from all over the world to Cali Colombia.
Decent guys who want a life, family and a companion.
However some of them suffer from the same problems the whine about.
I saw gringos who were fat, unkempt, cheap, selfish and only carried about having arm candy. The thought they were buying the latest sports car to show to their buddies.
So if you mix the dishonest agency owners and these losers you get the perfect storm. A scam with the perfect attraction. Money and beauty.
The agency owners love this. It's great to post pictures of 50 year old loser gringos with a 20 year old model on the cover of the website. It sells!
It gives hope to guys who have none. Guys who couldn't find a girl in the U.S. because they are social misfits.
Guys who never cut their fingernails. Have green toe fungus.
Bald, fat selfish fools who don't shine their shoes and never put on a pressed shirt. Show up in tennis shoes and shorts for a date.
You get the picture. Self centered losers who think they can buy a model and take her home for a sex slave.
And here is the thing that's hard to believe. They get burned. They marry a girl. She uses them for a green card. And they come back for more to the same agency that hooked them in the first place.
That is if they have any money left.
And they make a walking advertisement for the other gringos. The advertise this. "An average guy (loser) like you can get a model".
And these guys buy it hook, line, and sinker.
First you see them like this. Late forty or fifty year old dudes looking through the books for a decent 30 something women. That ends quick. Soon they are are on to the ringers. Pushed sometimes by the agency or by their own stupidity. And the agency girls start talking and burning up the phone lines.
Soon they are walking around Chipichapi. Shopping at Studio F, the Jewelry store and spending big bucks. The girls can't resist. Sometimes the girls overplay their hand and he gets gets wise. So he starts to date other Hotties. And the pass him around like a cheap whore.
They churn them like a stock broker.
How does this happen you ask? The main reason is this.
THEY CANNOT SPEAK SPANISH. AND THEY DON'T WANT TO LEARN.
They are lazy. And they want to believe the agency bullshit.
These guys are so blinded they can't see what's happening.
They want to believe the dream that the agency tells them.
THE AGENCY ARE LIARS. NOT ALL BUT MOST.
In the beginning I would try and clue them in to the scam.
And they would get pissed off. At me! Yes at me for trying to crush their dream.
I had an agency owner offer to give me a "lifetime membership" If I could convince a gringo to marry a certain girl who he was vacillating on. It was a traditional Colombian bribe. As common as a handshake. I understand through the grapevine that he was getting a cut if she made it to the states.
I had girls tell me that if I would help them convince their boyfriend to marry them that they would dump him and hook up with me once they made it to the U,S.
I had girls outright offer me money to marry them. A pure business deal. BTW, the going price in the U.S. in $20,000.00 for this.
I've had girls offer me this in the states too.
Always starting with $5,000.00 or $10,000.00. But that is what YOU are worth to them. $20,000.00!!!
I began to meet the couples and I learned to not speak Spanish in the beginning. Soon these stupid girls would start to blab to their friends or on the phone about their true intentions. What I heard would shock you. These girls are cold, calculating whores.
They would talk right in front of me about where they were going to take there gringo shopping. How much money he had given them. The engagement ring the had. And the cost and what was next on the agenda.
After I made friends with one X Mafia girl I found out about some scams that are so good they should go into the Hall of fame.
Wedding ring scam.
It works like this. A real Hot looking girl hooks up a old, fat, bald desperate loser gringo. Or maybe even a decent guy who has no idea what he is doing.
They fall in "love". Which takes about two days (not kidding)
She takes him ring shopping. Always where a "friend" or "cousin" works. He buys a $5000.00 or $10,000.00 dollar ring sometimes less sometimes more. The show a real diamond ring to the gringo. He cannot say no at this point. They have it sized and come back latter. They pick it up and it's been switch for a Cubic Zirconium.
She then does one of several things. She pays a little money to the owner of the store and he gives her the real stone. Or she gets the difference in price in cash. Minus the scam fee. Or she get suddenly "robbed" and the ring disappears.
Soon she dumps him and is off to the next sucker. I saw a gringo fall for this TWICE! First for the "robbery" scam. Then the bait and switch.
The wedding scam
Another scam is the "Wedding Scam" The agency owners love this one.
They make a pile of money on this. The arrange the wedding for a the gringo and his bride. They sell him a $500.00 to $1000.00 dollar wedding for $5000.00 to $10,000.00 bucks! It's that simple.
I've heard that the bride and the agency owners cut a deal and the more elaborate she makes it the more money she makes for herself. So it starts out small and ends up big. What's the poor dope gonna do? After all "he's only getting married once" Right?
English school scam.
Then their is the "English school scam". Very simple. The guy falls in love within a week. They can't talk to each other with out a "translator" So she gets him to pay for English school. And the expenses that go with it. Books, transportation etc..
Clue! THE TRANSLATORS ARE IN ON THE DEAL. EVERY DEAL
He goes home. She just never goes or she goes, (smart one trying to improve her game) and she hooks up another gringo the next month. soon she's got three or four jerks paying her rent, school and other expenses. Not bad money when it's times three.
Cancer scam
Then there is the "cancer scam". Either the girl, her child or the mother or sister suddenly get "cancer". And of course needs money for medical test, doctors etc..
This one tugs at the heart stings. How can you not give money to the mom or sister for her cancer treatments? Needless to say this one can cost the gringo thousands of dolors. I've even heard of the mother staging a sick bed in the house with a Real IV! And a fake doctor!
Last word.
Add in braces for the teeth, fake boobs and butt and all the other stuff and you see what happens here. These games can be played a thousand ways.
It's up to you. If you learn the language it lowers the chance that you will get bullshitted and scammed.
But this is all up to you.
You pay your money and you take your chances.
Love.......It's a gamblers game. Your mileage may vary.
DISCLAIMER: NOT ALL AGENCIES OR WOMEN ARE SCAMMERS.
