Yes, it is very hard to stay away from "scams"! Even though one of those "scams" led me here to Steemit, so I am very grateful for that. I see you live in Portland. My daughter just moved there, east toward Mt Hood. I am going to visit in October. On a personal note, I see you are friends with Ng and Lou and Toya. It's a little hard to tell, but from knowing that info and from the picture above I would guess your wife is from the Philippines. I love the Philippines and I hope to go there in the next few years!
@markvance yes my fiance is a Filipina and I'm currently in Portland, OR soon to be moving to the Philippines very shortly. Believe it or not as long as I have been in Oregon I have never visited Mt. Hood. Yeah Ng Gavin and I have conversed back and forth a few times and he is of the same mindset as myself when it comes to these programs, It is such a shame that a lot of people flock to these programs but the madness will continue.
You are one lucky guy, marrying a Filipina! I hope to do that someday!
@markvance I appreciate you saying that as I always knew that I would be with an Asian women one day after spending time in Japan when I was in the Marine Corps. I have no doubt that if that is what you want it will definitely happen.
