Response to Mike---Scam Warning Signs, Algerian Man, On-line Dating, SkypeReader comment on item: Advice to Non-Muslim Women against Marrying Muslim Men Submitted by Straight_Talk_Luigi (United States), Feb 23, 2014 at 19:40 Mike: This has all the warning signs of a scam. I will address your concerns and your post here. I fear for her safety. what do you think.? As far as safety goes, well, there's always a risk. International, on-line dating often doesn't end well. I would say that with the exception of meeting people through Craigslist that on-line, international dating is just as dangerous (if not more so) for men than for women. Usually, Mike, this ends up being a very large headache for people. Ok I worry for this whole topic. I've dated my girlfriend for year and half she's 34 I'm 32 she has one son 10 years old. Girlfriend at the time and myself where lving together and the relationship was very rocky..she loves to drink and get wasted and it didn't go well with me. Make no mistake, Mike, you are well justified to worry. Lost and confused woman looks to international, on-line dating for "love" after a relationship with a Western man didn't work out. Fits perfectly with all the other stories. Ok so for about 2 months she has been talking to this guy from Algeria and he's Muslim about 28 years old single. The man abroad being younger. Again, a nice fit with all the other stories on here than ended in disaster. Also, Mike, it's possible he may not be single. He's getting to the age where some North African cultural elements expect marriage to a nice, homegrown Muslim girl. I doubt your ex would fit that description anytime soon. Myself not thinking much of it but 2 months later we ended up spitting up but still keep in contact. Actually we just live in different houses and still have sexual relations and hang out.. I cannot endorse any kind of sexual activity outside of a valid marriage. It should say something though if you two are having sex and yet she's "in love" with this guy. Also (and this is a good question for other readers on here) if this Algerian fellow is so great and awesome, why does she need to have sex with someone else? It is on-line, but still….. I had a bad feeling about this guy so i checked and seen she has messages from him.. Now this is 4 months later.. I'm reading things from lots of I love you,she wants to Marry, can't wait to meet convert to Muslim from Christain, hubby this,son to be husband and either move there or him more here with her son. His account has nothing but religious stuff ..Loves Islam, Allah ect. I won't endorse a conversion from Christianity to Islam. It sounds like she's going to be Muslim just for him. I do worry about people who stake their claim to marriage long beforehand. She has been married 3 times and always told me never again. A lot of these on-line gigolos have a way of easily influencing the minds of the desperate and/or troubled. She skypes all the time and its very hard to get a hold of her when shes at home with her being on computer 24/7 I know where the attention is at.. Call it Jealousy I do agree but I worry more then anything... That's not surprising. Pretty tough to separate yourself entirely from someone you are having sex with. Its like a joke to me but she's real about it. Make no mistake my friend, it is doubtful there's any real love here. Everything she says about him that she wants me to believe to make me feel better ends up being a lie, like he can barely speak english so we don't talk on phone much .or the amount of time they talk....not true.. she's met the mother and some other family of his from Skype.'s It does beg the question why lie if it's so great? Maybe to protect you from getting hurt? Would that be the only reason? Or is there something about this she doesn't want you to know? Even with what's she's told you, there may be something she's holding back. It wouldn't be the first time a woman did that. This guy i feel is a biggest brainwashed person and taking advantage of the weak. A lot of on-line personalities do that. I've encountered a few women like that. She's a very unstable single mother living with her Uncle (cause our breakup) and has several mental problems. . who in there right mind for one fall in love over net? Talk about marriage and never even met in person and also change religions and out of all change to a Muslim?... Well, this smells of lies and possibly even a VISA scam all over it. You don't marry someone you've never met. I wish I had a dollar every time someone tried to pass off skype as being some kind of substitute for dating in real life. It isn't. It sounds like your ex is getting played and this relationship is anything but good for her. Frankly, she needs to end this now. If you want to come back and say more, please feel free to do so., but I would strongly suggest you refer her to this blog.
