To Fatimah

Dear Fatimah , I am so sorry that your money was wasted. There are so many truly needy people in this world that, that sort of money could have made the difference between life and death for many sufferers. This man from Egypt is like so many of these young men that want ,nice clothes ,nice phone,nice computer ,nice scooter,nice car e.t.c So many young people from Egypt ,Tunisia,Turkey,Morocco to name just a few countries use the money that they have scammed from Westerners to buy ,drugs and alcohol and prostitutes. In all of these Countries you will find men that have sex with not just women but also gays. Often the gays are the most generous buying them apts ,cars e.t.c. There is only one way to stop these people. NEVER EVER SEND MONEY . There are plenty of associations that you can donate to if you want to help people less fortunate than yourself. Sending money does not help the young men of these countries .They rarely work as Internet scamming is a far more lucrative job.

Finally Congratulations Fatimah exposing this scammer may encourage others to expose people that have scammed them.

P.S. I have been in Turkey during Ramadan and I can tell you that these sort of men sleep all day during Ramadan and spend all night on the computer. Most don't work ,they lie that they have a job but some do work in the tourist industry as it is a good 'fishing" place.
