We met on Tinder, where he portrayed himself as a family-oriented man. We dated for a while, but once I discovered the inconsistencies in his stories, I told him that I was willing to help him, but I was not willing to pursue a relationship with him. Despite this, he attempted to force a relationship onto me, leading to both physical and emotional harassment.
I provided financial support through means of housing which I initially thought to be temporary. However, when it became clear he had no intention of moving out, I insisted that he leave. Instead of complying, Joe refused to move out and would not return my keys. I had to seek outside help to retrieve them.
He lied about owning several businesses in The Philippines, owning property, and lied about his financial capabilities. To solicit money from me and manipulate me into giving him a place to stay, he said the following things:
He claimed he couldn't secure employment due to conspiracies against him, alleging blacklisting from numerous restaurants.
He claimed he was receiving death threats.
He stated he lost multiple businesses due to betrayal by his partners.
He indicated he lacked family support, citing being kicked out by his mother.

Transitioned from Las Flores to Wildflour
Accused of severe harassment and fraud from someone he said he claimed he had a relationship with. Source #6 claims he tried to push a relationship onto her, but there was no commitment or agreement from her end. The source claims that she was being blackmailed by Joe through the use of illicit photographs. Efforts were made to recover and delete these photographs from his possession.
Despite source #6 efforts to sever ties with him, Joe persisted in harassing her by showering her with excessive affection. He even extended his outreach to her network of friends, despite her repeated attempts to distance herself from him.
Source #6 covered flight tickets for Joseph Ruby to go back to Manila (out of desperation as he wouldn't stop harassing her). He never paid her back.
Ruby continues to incorporate her name into his sob stories to garner sympathy, yet the majority of the narrative surrounding their brief relationship is fabricated.
During this time, he was actively seeking other relationships via online dating platforms. Several friends have accused him of borrowing money but failing to repay it.

"Hi _____. Apologies that I had to contact you directly and ask for a character reference of a man named Joseph Anthony Ruby.
He borrowed money from me that bloated to 316K which includes a motorcycle he said he needed for the business venture we started a month ago. When I realized that he's been asking for more -- like a helmet that's 25K worth, I thought to myself that this is an abuse already and so I started contacting his exes only to find out a few things he has done to them like total dependency on women and asking for favors, money and he'll make up stories for us to lend money.
I then sat down on finance to since I had a gut feel that we're losing money for a month old company and I was able to trace an 11K amount that was not returned to me (budget) and his friends who paid for the goods we are sellling (those who paid straight to his account).
It was a two-week debate and he doesn't really like to pay for the 11K+, and so it led me to have an open communication to my church family, my DGroup Leader and sisters, a brother from CCF Makati who knows about motorcycles to seek counsel as I was losing my peace and sanity due to this struggle of knowing that he can't pay me because he pretended to have money that he doesn't have. What broke my heart is not the thought of him courting me but me plugging him to __________ Group. ________ downline camo forward to him, __________ and t e story of what happened to _____________. ____ investigated further and contacted Joe's Mom and Brother to find out he's not from UK. This was just last Wednesday. So I had to communicate with his ex-girlfriend again to ask if she knew that he's not from the UK only to find out they had a hunch her and her barkada because one of their friends identified na he's from CSA) but she also didn't know.
Yesterday, I was able to reach out to __________ through a CCF friend too and _____ mentioned you to me.
Everything feels like a dream, or more like a nightmare but still, I would want to know your side of the story for me to gauge all these. Let me know your piece of the story and how it all happened and were you able to get your money and how much does he owe you?"
