I love you....

To say this "I love you" too soon is usually a very, very bad sign, Mandy. I am sorry, but before you go any further, think about this: OF COURSE he is going to TELL you that he doesn't need money! But that doesn't mean he won't EVER ask for it!

I've done undercover work on these scams, and the people who are scamming you often fall in love too quickly. I've been through this with Nigerian, Russian, and even selfish American women (still think I'm a racist, Ariel?) who weren't Muslim.

The truth is a lot of the men want is $$$ and a green card, and they wouldn't keep doing it if it didn't work, but it does. I once had a women from Suriname of East Indian descent who was romantically interested and wanted to meet me in the remote highlands of southern Mexico.

Personally, I am very much against these types of relationships because they can also be dangerous. I know people on here will say 'I am married to Moroccan man happily' or whatever, but that's the EXCEPTION, not the rule.
