To sunrise and anyone who wants to know my story

Sunrise thanks for posting that. I can totally sympathise with you, my Turkish ex is almost a carbon copy of that man. I hope that you are well and moving on from your bad experience. I am 4 months pregnant and back in the UK and doing my very best to move on, but like you I feel it's really important to warn others. If I'd had that warning or seen some info online about my ex I'd never have trusted him or got involved with him in a million years. So I think you're doing the right thing.

I have posted my ex's details below here as well so that anyone doing an online search might see what a total degenerate he is.
His name is Ozcan Ozgur and he goes by the names Ozzy, Compie or Leo. He is from Dogusbelen which is near Dalaman, but he works most seasons in Marmaris as a DJ and entertainer. He was at the Sun Love Hotel in Marmaris but he got sacked and is now at the Adonis Hotel. He has worked previously in the Excelsior.

^{He is very, very charming and tells women that he is single and is looking for the right woman to settle down with and marry. Only problem with that is he's still married to a Russian lady and they have one child. They are separated but not divorced yet, as he claims. He tells women very quickly that he loves them and that he wants to marry them. If you suspect that he is full of crap (because he is) and that he is just trying to get money or a visa out of you he will say no he's not like that and that he wants to stay in Turkey. He has many women at once and will claim that he is faithful and if he gets caught out he says they are lying to split you up or some other story like that. I've since discovered he is not fussy in the least and will go for anyone of any shape or size from ages 16-50 if they have what he is after e.g. sex and/or money}

^{He is violent towards women and has been 'engaged' many times and has been violent to every woman that has been seriously involved with him, his wife coming off the worst. I found her on Facebook and she is a long suffering, very gracious woman who aptly describes him as a 'cheat, animal and gigolo'.}

^{He could not care less about this baby on the way and he is still chasing other women as we speak. I am still getting regular messages from women on Facebook asking me about him as they've seen my picture and wonder who I am, or they know I'm a recent ex and they want advice as they don't trust him or have been cheated on by him. I left Turkey at the end of June and I've spoken to 9 women to date who he's been involved with since then, and I'm sure there will be more than that.}

^{He asks for money and says it's for all kinds of reasons, but it's to help pay his debts that he has accumulated due to credit card misuse and international phone bills. Or he says he is planning the wedding and needs money to make all the arrangements. He sometimes claims he will go to jail if he doesn't get money too. He asks for gifts like laptops and computer equipment. He did not get a penny out of me, but played a game of paying for me to 'prove' he was genuine. He has one sob story after another and he uses the pretty classic lines to try to play on your sympathy. It is entirely up to any woman if they get involved with him but if they have any sense at all and value their heart, dignity and money they'll steer well clear. Women need to be warned about him as he is a very good actor and can deceive even the most intelligent women, bad sadly there are many, many like him in Turkey.}
