The biggest amount I have been asked for is about 3000 € hehehe and the excuse was that this lady wanted to start a business and "be on her own" in return I would have "access" to her when ever I wanted hahaha... This was her first attempt and the second was a smaller amount of 300 € which she needed to pay the house rent....

And this was suggested by an african chick that somehow (and most probably) sent a number of junk mails to a large number of addresses whihc included mine and I happened to reply her as the gentleman I'm....
The only other that has asked me for money is actually a filipina which according to my experience is extremly rare... They usually never ask for money nor anything material, just attention and lots of time. Anyway, this lady asked first for a postcard which I sent her, then some chocolates which she insisted and insisted so I sent her the chocolates and there after came the money question... Nice pattern and well the amount was very small, just 50 dollars...

in both cases I turned them down...
I have heard from many people that many african girls and even guys ask people for money over the net, but I gotta say I was surprised this filipina did so and she did so a number of times not just once but I think the remedy was to tell her that most people get a job to earn money which is a more secure and independent source of income than begging...
