Warning Signs: On-line Dating, Moroccan Man

There are several warning signs here that you must be aware of.

1) Proposing marriage over the internet. It's a sign of a VISA scam and a pretty big one at that.

2) Him not respecting you wanting to go to bed at night

3) I'm not sure what you mean by "originally claiming" for his job, but I think they lie about that too. I was once talking to a woman from South America on-line about her field of study of medical physics. When I started asking her more specific questions, she told me I was being rude.

I have no doubt that this man's charm is flooring you, but this really is a sham. You don't "fall in love" with someone you've never even met or ask them to marry you for a meaningful relationship.

I think you also need to ask yourself if an American man were saying and doing all these things if you would be so lenient.

You may or may not get all the information you satisfactorily require, but either way you've got to move one to someone else. All the classic signs or a scammer/liar are there.
