Hi Lisa, you must move on! Get help for your mental and emotional state and move forward. Recoup all you can financially, cut your losses and go home and make more money.

I have been involved with and Egyptian and I gave several thousand dollars for him to purchase a taxi. He is now working and not taking my calls. I was in Egypt twice to be with him and I see the vast cultural differences. I am friends with his family, but then again, that might be part of the scam.

Don't beat yourself up. Just never do this again. Be good to yourself and move on!
