Jenny C marriage scam

Submitted by Layla Ahmed (United Kingdom), Jun 1, 2013 at 06:52

Jenny, many men in Egypt only want to marry a lady from UK, USA, Russia, in fact anywhere in the world, so they can escape the economic crisis in Egypt. Many of these men are marred to Egyptian ladies, and a man in Egypt is totally responsible for looking after this lady from the day he marries her until the day she dies, she will not work and makes severe demands on her husband and he will try and accommodate her the best way he can. He wants to take from foreign women and maybe give to her to look after his kids

. A sure way to find out if he is married, is ask him for his ID card, and on the reverse side of the card on the fourth line down, the sentence starts with what looks like a fancy capital E, this is the sign that he is already married, if he refuses to show you his ID card, then for sure you will know he is married. Sometimes they will say they are divorced and even let you meet the ex wife, but be careful she is in on the scam, also some men have been known to introduce women to their sisters, she will feed you and give you nice words, further drawing you in, when in fact it is the wife he is introducing you to. A good Egyptian male will not let you pay for anything, but its ok to take gifts for him and his family gifts
