I Moved to the Philippines with $127,000.. 3 Years Later I Was Broke & Begging in Manila Airport

This is the story of how a lonely delivery driver from Detroit became another statistic in the Philippines retirement scam epidemic. No one forced him to wire the money. No one held a gun to his head. He did it all willingly, desperately, because he wanted so badly to believe that someone finally valued me.

In this video, he's sharing every painful detail: how he met his Filipina wife, Liza, how the requests started small and grew, how he ignored every warning sign, and how he ended up broke at 62 with nothing to show for three years except expensive lessons about trust, loneliness, and desperation.
