That's how I saw it too Leesa

I read it that way too Leesa but I am also trying to convey that western women are putting themselves out on the net for these men to snare. It's a shocking thing that these people can even think to use someone else to better their lives and even sadder that western women allow it to happen . Women, by not educating and preparing themselves before they commit to a relationship of this type is surely naivety on their part.

When the relationship goes sour and these women discover the lies, count the money that they will never see again and the time in their lives that they have lost it always seems to be the scamming Moroccan man's fault and the women take no blame because they are the innocent party. I don't see it that way as they had every opportunity to research the culture, the country, the people, the relationship etc etc. But this never happened and they have lost big time. To me it's the same as when a big company goes bust and the company directors are held accountable because ignorance of ineptness going on around them is not a defence.

I just hope that the women effected by these scams do learn a lesson and protect themselves against this type of situation in the event of it ever presenting again and also as this blog illustrates perfectly, to warn and enlighten others.
