Ok so you are very passionate about the scamming of online dating. Been scammed before, so as far as lover scams go, been there and did that. And Russia and Nigeria is high on the list of that. You can not trust a nigerian at all because so many have tainted the ones with good intentions. But that is where it ends.

I am guessing you been scammed that is usually where the passion comes from. I know that i was more then determined to help others from being scammed, after me being scammed. And americans and British are scammed because of the high money value to there currency. That is why there is certain things that single a scam. But you can not pass judegment on every online relationship. Not every man or woman on line from another country is scamming. Many do not believe in the traditions of there country. Or many do not want to be forced to marry people they did not choose.

Morocco is has gained many rights in the last 10 years. And even woman have family rights when divorcing there husbands. Change is hard to embrace but many are accepting it. Under the conditions of Morocco many do want to leave there country. YOu try living in a country with 56% unemployment rate. And if you get a degree does not mean you can work, what kind of future is that. But they see america and europe as a future with work. Sure they are using woman for a visa, any way you look at it. But that don't mean they don't truley love the woman and want a future with them. I do advice any person in a online relationship to take it slow. Because the ones out for just the visa will not wait around when there is another woman or man that will take there bait.

I am in a online relationship, and been with the guy for a year and a half. I am do not think that is just visa, since he has meet other woman more then willing to get him that visa. I visted him in August and still have not filed that visa yet. I will be soon, but surly all the things we have been through if it was just a visa, he would be long gone. The usa was not a country he wanted to go to, he rathered a european country. But he found me and that all changed. You have a right to get the info out there for lover scams with online relationships. If you are so concerned set up a online relationship redflag guidelines. Because i am telling you can not judge all online relationships, many work. What about mail order brides of the old west in the states. And sorry i just do not like american men, i prefer dark complicted men with dark eyes, that is my style.
