Hi Carmel !

oh my god im so headspun and dont no what to think,, have been talking to a moroccan guy for nearly 3 months and he has said it all what mostly i have read in some articles here.. he is meant to be coming here, i sent him paper work and paid his visa here in aussie and he is to let me know what the egypt embassy says to him to come here for tourist visa..

yes im [b]deeply in love[/b] and now am [b]so scared [/b]like you wouldnt believe.. after reading all this stuff about moroccan scammers... i've just cried my eyes out and dont want to believe abdel is one of them... but i tested him a bit with some questions but how can we ever be really sure...yes i get the marry me,, come to me or i come to you... i love you and think of you all the time.. you are my angel,, my life has changed now you are in it.. we will have kids later, i will be faithful, love only you..i swear to god i will wait for you.. i will try my hardest to come to you if they say no plse come to me. i will die for u.... and so much more deep meaningful stuff.. '

Well- fear is for sure an aphrodisiac- but I doubt it can be a component in a solid relationship...

You have already paid for a visa- so there is not much doubt it is a scam...How is he going to die for you? What a sh...these men know exacly how to woo a Western women- they learn from movies mostly...those are just words...He is to die- but you pay for his visa...Tell him that he neednt die- just paying for his own visa would do...lol

Note, that all scammed women believed that their story is different and their man is for real...It is called AMIGA syndrome in German- that means "Aber mein ist ganz anders"- but mine is different...

The truth is that even if he is for real- he is a bad news.. These men are abusive, demanding, unfaithful...they are taught to be like that...and while muslim woman raised there (in muslim country) knows exacly what to expect and how to deal with them- for Western women marriage with a muslim often ends with psychiatric treatment for life...

but really i know ur chocking maybe at the moment but can some of these men really have a heart.. plse i beg dont laugh at me cos im seriously hurting and contemplating visiting him next year if he cant come here. but how oh god how do we know if they are scammers or not ...

As I said- even if he is not a scammer- he is a bad news...

i'm italian catholic and he's muslim and says he doesnt practice his religion,.. i told him all my concerns that our religions are sooooooooooo different and wouldnt work and he just knows what to say back to make me love him more and responds that "love has no religious barrier or any barrier..if you love someone no matter wot their colour, race, religion. should not stop u from loving them"...

It is not true- in islam muslim women are not allowed to marry non-muslim- muslim man can marry muslim, Christian or Jewess- because the children are to be raised muslim anyway, and due to extreme pressure the woman often converts as well...

understand me, women, my sister told me her friend read an article on moroccan scammers but couldnt find it and somehow now we just decided to look at internet and well god strike me down i found this site.. with all your experiences, comments ect........ has made me more wary yes..i'm not that naive i no but still foolishly in love.

will keep uz all posted.....so plse women in my boat dont give up yet i havent but am very wary now and dont send money or anything anymore and he still talks to me every day on webcam and msn.. so god only knows my fate and i put it in his hands....... carmel

Please be careful and ask yourself if God wants you to give birth to kids who will become muslims and hate the Jews, West and Christianity...
