Problem: advice is needed

Let's be honest here. Would anyone be as unsympathetic if his girlfriend was an overstayer from a western country? How do we know he's being scammed? Simply because his GF is Filipina?

The questions being asked by the op, and the sticky situation he’s found himself in are fairly concisely stated in the first post. For all those wanting further info on his partners nationality; has that info guided you to provide him with more specific help?

Yep,, and your right. But he has been given the good advice by some posters and now knowing which country she is from makes it now easier to determine if that advice was right.

Sorry if Shantarum has become the subject of jokes, but all he has to do now is do a search on CEO, on Philippine, scammers , hats and he will be much wiser in the future if he stays in Cambodia.

I understand your comment and I understand all the previous replies. I might be new on CEO bit I'm not new in sea. Maybe all these witty comments are warnings or whatever, but I don't need them. Just give me some advice with my problem. Sure, 99/100 are scams but that's for me to decide/accept. I can tell you my whole past but it wouldn't change your opinion anyway.
So instead of making fun of the "stupid" barang, just give me an actual advice. I've seen it all, laughed about it, just like you. Bit if I wanted that I would have gone to a $0.50 beer bar. But I'm not looking for the kinda people that base their stories on experiences from half a century ago.
Btw I will even give you the aftermath so you can laugh your asses of or doubt your own opinions. Just give me some a tual advice

He could go to Europe and get a high paying job.

Yeah I can do that, but I don't want to. Everybody here's got their own reason to be here, so do I. I'm smart enough to come up with that solution by myself.

Apologies to anyone who was offended by my comment. It wasn't intended to insult. [Mod Edit: Thanks for that, and this topic has been cleaned up a bit.]

'"Turn her in, sit in jail till it goes to court at which time she will be fined, (less than $10/day) and deported, so you better have enough money for the fine and for her ticket home.."

As I said earlier, cruisemonkey summed the advice up pretty well in post 3 and others have alluded to the options along the way. Not sure there can be any further choices..

The only thing that perhaps needs elaboration is what happens exactly if you pay the $3650 fine. Does she still get deported? How long before she can return?

Well, okay. Thanks for the replies and everybody that tried to come with a solution. I know enough and will figure something out. I'll give you a heads up when I know more
