Thanks Straight Talk Luigi

I agree completely that this is a SCAM in the worst case scenario. I just found out yesterday that she is leaving states on July 31...I'm supposed to take her 4 hours to the airport, but she doesn't know her schedule?? The man Zachariae Jaddal is making all arrangements.."they will do whatever she wants to do", but she has NOT made any kind of hotel reservations. Is leaving that to him and she will "decide" whether to stay in a hotel or riad(??). I'm unsure of the riad thing, but am sure there are nice ones, but have a funny feeling she will be in 'love nest' that she swears will NOT happen. She will arrive in Casablanca, sightsee, then to Fez and then somewhere to meet the mother. I did ask how the Mother feels about her 34 year old son wanting to marry an almost 61 year old woman....probably older than herself?? No answer to that one.

So, I've decided I'm going to print out a page of warnings I received from the US Consulate webpage and give it to her and then just leave it at that. She is adamant that she is an adult, can do whatever she wants, is a good judge of character (yeah right), and see what happens. I can only hope for the best and that she returns safe and wiser, but I'm not counting on that. Thank you one and all for your words of advice.

Of course, there is always the possibility that he is exactly what he portrays and that all will be a romance made in heaven and not in Green Card lust.
