Getting to know Egyptian men on the Internet

You can probably work out if this man you are chatting to on the internet is honest with you for yourself. You say that he is not in the tourist industry so I assume that he is an engineer because this is the occupation that most scammers use to get you in.

Beware! This man is telling you only what you want him to tell you to convince you that he is honest. At any internet cafe in Egypt they are all lined up on the computers chatting and scamming every western woman that is willing to listen and I have seen it for myself.
