Name: Jackelyn Cainday

Folks, meet one Miss Jackelyn (Lani) Cainday, our newest addition to the Rogue's Gallery at Pointman Cebu. She was slick enough to divest a man of roughly $8,000 USD, over the period of about four months.
Lani was allegedly born in Cagayan de Oro, but currently resides in Barangay Ubujan, Tagbilaran City, Bohol, or at Pook Pantalan, Tagbilaran City, Bohol.
Here is his story, posted as he emailed it to me, verbatim:
Well I thought I would tell you my story in detail. I won't mention all the dollar amounts but in total, counting the 10 days I was there, I spent over $8000 on her. I'm not a rich man at all, most of this money is on credit that i now get to pay back. Met her online thru Cherry Blossom. She was very nice of course. I started thinking with my heart instead of with my head. I made plans to come and see her and i did in October for 10 days. Stayed at the Bohol Tropics and she spent every night with me. Told me she worked in the market selling veggies.
Every morning she would leave early, about 6am, and return around noon saying only the morning was good for selling veggies. I told her I wanted to see where she worked, she said the market was no place for me, it smelled so bad I would puke. She "protected" me from that bad experience. She took me to where she said she lived, it was a room in a house. She had a key to the door so maybe she did live there, but it was very barren not much at all in the room.

Told me she had a son. I took him and his "friends" on the Bohol tour. Of course we now know the friends were his brother and sister. I wonder if each kid gets to be the only child when she scams another guy. I bought <her son> a used gameboy on eBay.
She had told me she had not had sex in 10 years. While i was some what skeptical of this her knowledge of sex seemed to confirm it. She told me how much she loved me many many times, was very attentive and convincing.
I gave her money before i met her, she told me how she did not eat very good food, so I wanted her and her son to eat better. Then her "bad luck" started, I will try and list the problems she had.

Her son got a kidney infection. Hospital stay and medication. She got dengue fever. hospital stay and medication. Because she was sick and in the hospital she fell behind on rent, 2500php for the room.
By this time I was a walking ATM machine with bi weekly withdraws.
My visit was from October 5 to 14, it was after that she would have an emergency every week. Her veggie stand was broke into and they stole all her capital. Of course I'll help you, you love me.
<Her son> needs English lessons @ 4000php a month (full time wage for part time teaching). She got evicted from her room, so I agreed to rent her a house for 5000php a month. I had to furnish the house, dining table chairs, couch, TV, queen bed, air-con for bedroom refrigerator. I think i gave her over $1000 just for this.

Overnight trip to CDO to get her birth certificate. Lies I am sure. While in CDO at her aunts house, the mp3 player I got for her is stolen. <Her son> gets bit by a dog. Rabies shots that cost way too much. 3, then 4 of them.
Her Lolo is sick and in hospital, he can pay all but 8000php of his bill, lolo will pay me back in January when he sells a lot in town.
Her trip to Cebu is where she got robbed.

> Begin Pointman Cebu Investigation <
This gentleman enlisted us to verify if her story was right, regarding being robbed by a taxi driver after leaving the port in Cebu. She was, supposedly anyway, headed to the DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs), in Cebu City. The client told us that she had informed him that she had filed a police report at the Mabolo Police Station, Cebu City. According to her, she had lost everything except her ID, the very thing she needed to receive more money from our client.
After following up every lead, we verified that Lani, or Miss Jackelyn Cainday had never filed a case, nor had even visited the Mabolo Police Station, or any other station in Cebu City, for that matter. Her story, later verified, was 100% fictitious. She had never even boarded a boat to come to Cebu City, much less been robbed while here.

She still begs me to take her back and give her one more chance lol. If women had balls, she would pack 10 pounders.

I am sure I am leaving some "emergencies" out, there were so many hard to keep track. I had read the rule "do not send money" but thought that did not apply to me coz she loves me.
Someone reading this would have to think how dumb can a man be? It was my loneliness and using my heart instead of my head. I have learned from this although at a cost, in more ways than one.
I still talk with Filipina online. Some seem like good girls, just like to chat and never asked me for anything. I am learning to spot a scammer though. They will start out very nice and friendly, then maybe the next time you talk to them they have all kinds of problems. Don't ask for money but they say how it would be nice if they could only visit their family for Christmas, or need some medicine, etc.
Always a sad story, as soon as that starts I say good luck, bye.
