First of all, you need to choose a reliable and established Asian online dating websites, with that being said, you still need some protective measures in case you are being blinded by love:

• If you feel you must assist someone to purchase a plane ticket, always buy the ticket yourself on behalf of the visitor and make sure the ticket can be refunded in case you need to cancel it

• If you must make any payments,  only do so after you have verified the invoice is genuine and pay directly to the organization
• If you do send money to someone, be suspicious of someone who requests more money as soon as they receive the initial amount, report them to the administrator of the Asian dating service

Some people in developing countries like the Philippines often request small amount of money to pay for expenses such as internet access or mobile phone costs to communicate with you.  Avoid sending any money to someone you have not met in person, under any circumstances.
