More for Samantha

Even if this man is Christian he is a Coptic Christian and Copts in Egypt still have to obey Islamic law. Therefore my advice remains the same. He tells you that his father is an architect but he could also only have a small bazaar in the souk or sweep the streets of Cairo. You only know what this man tells you at this stage because you have not had any personal association and there is no proof of his life or his history.

Scams can go on for years too. It is reported that some relationships between Egyptian men and foreign women have failed even after 10 years or more because the foreign wives found out that were not the only ones or their husbands were not who they claimed they were. You will not be a girlfriend you will be a wife and very quickly. This is their culture.

Please be cautious.
