Nora,

its NOT a matter or question of Muslim, Morocco, Christian, culture, jihad, terrorist, islamic belief or country history.. its NONE of that..it all boils down to SCAM..MONEY SCAM. (SO YOU SAY ALL INTERNET DATING IS SCAM, EVEN EHARMONY IN THE STATES!!! YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THE SCAM PART. i KNOW ALL ABOUT THE SCAMS. LETS NAME THE SCAMS, SHALL WE. THERE IS THE LOVER SCAM THAT MOSTLY NIGERIANS GENERATE. THEY SAY SWEET NOTHINGS AND PROMISE LOVE INSTANTLY......THEN COMES THE ASKING FOR MONEY BECAUSE THEY HURT THEM SELVES OR NEED MONEY FOR A BTA TO COME TO YOU...... THEN THERE IS THE VISA SCAM, A LOT LIKE THE LOVE SCAM, USING THE SAME TACTICS. ..... THEN THERE IS THE SCAM, WHRE THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO VISIT THEM, BECAUSE THEY LOVE YOU, THEY WILL GET THERE OWN VISA.....BUT THEY NEED MONEY FROM YOU TO MAKE THERE BANK ACCOUNTS FAT , SO THE CONSULATE KNOWS THEY HAVE MONEY FOR A TRAVEL VISA. EXCEPT THEY NEVER INTEND TO VISIT YOU.)

Nora dear, how long have you known your man? (ALMOST 2 YEARS, I BET YOU ARE A LITTLE SURPRISED.) let me guess.. you are over the moon, on top of the world, right? (NOPE, NEVER FELT THAT NATURAL HIGH. DANG I WAS JIPED) he's asked you for NOTHING. he would love to hug all four of your children.. but "darn it! he can't"! and you know why? HE CAN'T GET OUT OF HIS COUNTRY without your help. and he never will, unless you apply for a fiance visa.. uh-huh. that's right, and do you know what those applications cost now? (YES AM WELL AWARE OF THE COST) last year at this time they cost $136.00. (LAST YEAR THEY WAS NOT THIS LOW, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN THAT LOW FOR YEARS). but since business has been booming from all over the world, (BEEN BOOMING FOR A LONG TIME NOT JUST THIS YEAR) it now costs from $485.00 to $585.00. wow. go figure.. ( MIGHT WANT TO CHECK USCIS AGAIN, AS YOUR VISA FIGURE IS OFF.) oh, did i forget to say, the money is non-refundable? yep..( YEP YOU ARE RIGHT) everyone over there is getting rich! (YOU KNOW YOU ARE RIGHT, I THINK THE 3 DOCTORS THAT THE CONSULATE US, THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE ARE IN COHOOTS) hey, i'm in the wrong business.. i need to pack my bags and work for the consulate in morocco as a lawyer.( WHY WORK AS A LAWYER, AS THE CONSULATE DON'T USE THEM. THE INTERVIEWS DO ALL THE PAPER WORK AND MAKE FINAL DECISIONS. AND ACTUALLY BUSINESS HAS BEEN DOWN THIS YEAR. AS PROCESSING TIME IS FASTER NOW. WHO WOULD OF THOUGHT.)

you were treated like a queen? dear Nora, that is the standard.. they do more than "kinda" like us americans.. honey, they LOVE AMERICANS!!!!!!!!!! big bucks, money money. (OPPS....HATE TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE, BUT MANY MOROCCANS ARE AWARE THE ROADS HERE ARE NOT PAVED WITH GOLD, AND POVERTY IS VERY REAL HERE, SORRY.)

i hope your guy is a true blue moroccan man who is not a scammer or visa hunter..
look us up in about...oh... 6 months from now? ( I AM SURE I WILL STILL BE AROUND IN 6 MONTHS OR SO ,FIGHTING THE HALF TRUTHS AND NEGATIVITY HERE.I WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED) tell us your story then. we will all pitch in and buy your man a gold star if he is on the level..(AHHHHH...HOW NICE OF YOU) and if not, we'll all pitch in and help pay for the counseling you're going to need when he shows his true colours. (NOPE EVEN IF HE IS WHAT YOU SAY HE IS I WON'T NEED COUNSLING, TAKES MORE THEN THAT TO BREAK ME. AND SINCE YOU DON'T KNOW ME YOU WOULDN'T KNOW)

good luck
angel

P.S. YOUR SCARCASIM MAKES MY LAUGH, AS I AM NOT OFFENDED. MANY THAT POST ON HERE DO RUN A HUGE RISK OF BEING SCAMMED. THAT IS JUST HARD FACTS, BUT MANY AMERICAN RUN THE RISK OF BEING SCAMMED BY AMERICANS TOO. INTERNATIONAL DATING IS NOTHING NEW, JUST HOW YOU GO ABOUT IT CHANGES OVER THE YEARS. THIS IS NO DIFFERNT THEN MAIL ORDER BRIDES, EXCEPT YOU GET TO KNOW ABOUT THEM BEFORE THE MARRIAGE. i AM SURE YOU ARE SHOCKED TO KNOW I HAVE BEEN WITH MY MAN LONGER THEN A FEW MONTHS. onE THING STANDS TRUE, SCAMMERS DO NOT HAVE MUCH TIME TO WORK A SCAM, BECAUSE THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE WILLING TO GIVE INTO IT. I BELIEVE WHEN YOU CHOSSE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS YOU NEED TO EDUCATE YOUR SELF AND MOVE SLOW, WEEDS THEM OUT REALLY FAST. AND MEETING THEM IS VITAL, BECAUSE WHEN MEETING THEM AND SPENDING TIME WITH THEM THERE TRUE INTENTIONS COME OUT. noW SOME WOMAN REFUSE TO SEE EVEN AFTER THEY SEE WHAT THEY ARE GETTING THEM SELVES INTO. THAT IS THERE PROBLEm AND THERE ISSUE. WHEN I VISITED MY GUY HE DID NOT GO TO CYBER CAFE, I WAS WITH HIM AT ALL TIMES.SO LETS SAY HE IS SCAMMING OTHER WOMAN, IT IS POSSIBLE HE WOULD DISSAPPEAR ON ME FOR PERIODS OF TIMES. BUT HE HAS NOT. ALSO THE FAMILY IS A GOOD INDICATOR OF THE TRUTH. TO MEET THE FAMILY IS A BIG HONOR IN THERE CULTURE. BUT IF SCAMMING IS A FAMILY THING THEN I DON'T THINK THE ENGAGMENT PARTY IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE IF IT IS FOR THE MONEY ONLY. ALSO I WOULD BE CONCERNED IF A WOMAN VISITS HER MAN AND SHE PAYS OUT MONEY FOR APARTMENT RENTAL AND TRAVEL AND FOOD. MY MAN PAID FOR EVERYTHING, I DID NOT EVEN EXCHANGE MY MONEY. THESE RELATIONSHIPS ON ARE INDIVIDULS BASES, TO JUDGE ALL IS JUST WRONG. i WOULD LOOK INTO GROUPS THAT ARE OUT THERE THAT IS WOMAN THAT ARE IN GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WITH THESE SUPPOSLY SCAMMING MEN AND THEY HAVE BEEN MARRIED LONGER THEN THERE PERMENATE STATUS CHANGE. BUT YOU WON'T BECAUSE THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO ADMIT NOT ALL IS SCAMS.
