Hi there Marie

I'm really sorry to hear about this, and I'm sure that some women on here feel that you should not interfere, but I am glad that you are doing what you can as a mother to protect your dear daughter from this vile man.

While I can understand your daughters attraction to this man, my philosophy is very simple: If you want to be treated like an adult, then act like one. Rushing into a marriage is not what sound-minded adults do, it's what drunk people in Vegas do.

When I was sending check after to check to my myspace woman, BOTH of our families intervened. I did not like it at first, but now I can see the reasons why they did. They were looking out for me.

I'm sure I do not have to tell you that you're going to get an earful, most certainly from here and perhaps from others on this blog who seem to have nothing better to do but sit on-line and defend their "relationship" and their man's precious culture/religion.

What I would suggest doing is to call ICE.

Honestly, the worst they can tell is you is that they can't help. ICE is the Immigrations/Customs Enforcement Agency. I cannot post phone numbers on here, so you'll have to do a little digging.

It can work, too. My myspace woman's friend from France (who was a rapist and a liar) was confronted by the authorities when he landed (his father called the police on him) and they sent him right back to France.

I should have told Elizabeth this, but if you find out something about the man (ie he's anti-American or a terrorist), that will most certainly get their attention.

While most of the men discussed on here probably are not that extreme, if you call them, maybe they can get the information and should this man get an interview for a visa, it will decrease the chances of him coming over here. Unfortunately, their primary concern is of course going to be national security, and they will not be vetting him to see if he is a good husband or not. I do not think he is because he is a scammer.

Obviously you know this is not for real, and if she is paying for luxurious things for him and she's getting into a quick marriage with a man with a major age difference, yeah, it's a scam.

These situations are perhaps much more common than you think.
