Thanks for all comments on my posts.

Update: yesterday got call on mobile. Woman asked if I knew Ahmed from Hurghada, Egypt. Said yes. Asked was I in relationship with him so I asked where she'd got my number from and she said, from his mobile. Asked why she was ringing me and she said, she was due to marry him in 3 days!!!!

Asked where she is from, she said Poland. Told me he was with another women, from Netherlands last Sunday and did I know about her. Said I didn't know about anyone and assured her was not actually in relationship anyway. Just thought we were friends.

She was very strong but clearly upset. Said she'd been thru his phone and got 10 women's numbers, all of whom he's been texting recently. Told her she should find his emails too then!

Asked how long she'd known him; met last September 2008 and started 'going out' in December. Presumably this week is first she's seen of him since then.

She asked what she should do as she has a young toddler from previous relationship. I asked how old Ahmed is, 25, and how old she is, 39. I told her how old I am, much older still, and she couldn't believe it! I told her to come on websites like this and read all about these love rats and whatever she did next she must not marry him - chances are that it would be one of these orfi marriages I've read about anyway.

She said her friend had been in a relationship with one of them and he'd had money from her and her credit card details before she found out he was about to marry someone else!

She left me her name and thanks and I told her to contact me should she wish to talk again. Just hope she listens!!!! Have deleted all my texts, emails and contact details. Have joined Middle Eastern Love Rats on Facebook and urge everyone to.

Thank you all so much for your help.
