I love the ending you put...ARM YOURSELF WITH KNOWLEDGE. It's true, knowledge is power. The more educated you are on their culture and their religion, the easier it is to see what is really going on or what doesn't sound right. Thankfully, you can receive some knowledge here, but look for it apart from this blog, you will find a lot. So when they ask for money, or want you to pay for something, or say something involving religion that you have never heard before, you will recognize it as a lie.

There is one thing women will have that men never will; our INTUITION. Use it!! If you feel like something shady is going on, IT PROBABLY IS! Don't push those feelings aside, there is a reason why you are feeling doubt.
