Have sprung a trap...

Hello All.

Again, I relate more 'stuff' about my semi, ex-friend Judy and her Moroccan Wonder Man. I had been reading here about fake profiles....so I made myself a whole new alter ego and off I went into the world of FB as a fairly newly divorced woman, (lying, cheating bastard that he was LOL), just now regaining my sense of self, blah, blah, blah. Posted pictures that are NOT me and guess who I've hooked?? Yep, the wonder man, Zakariae Jaddal himself! Of course, he friends and immediately unfriends me, his page shows absolutely no friends at all....hiding them from J and the 'real me' and they have both blocked me now. So, I posted an old, old, quote he had posted from 2015 and then sent a friend request which he jumped on right away. He wanted to be 'honest' with me and said all he wants is a wife.

Well, that was one sentence and then we were off into major love stickers, lots of "I love you's", and very vague information about himself. He wanted to know how I found him, so I told him I was new on FB and just aimlessly scrolling around and found the quote which struck a chord within me, and thought it would be nice to meet a man so sensitive. Guess he liked that, as he continued to IM me, and started wanting pics (that was fun trying to find things that didn't exactly show a full face) and wanting to video chat.....which is NOT happening. I've managed to convince him that my cell doesn't do What'sApp or Video which is the truth, and that I am NOT doing video chats. Can't tell you the number of missed video chats I've had now.

Anyway, long story shorter, after about only 8 IM,s back and forth, none of which were overtly sexual he sends me a picture of his .....yep, you guessed it! He was so sorry, but I just turn him on so?

Guess that must be the only thing they think impresses us old American women?I played along, and let him think I was totally impressed and wished I could be there now!~well, he wants to know if I'll come to Morocco right away so he can show me his country and we will make the wonderful love 2 or 3 times a day! Alrighty then. Just yesterday he has finally asked me in a round about way for $$....only $200 cause he hasn't gotten paid because the govt. has issues and he only gets paid for work days and he just started. Awww. So since I sincerely and sadly had to refuse him a loan, but would if I had extra cash -NOT - I have not heard from him. I don't know if he will leave me now, or if he'll be back.

My idea here is not necessarily to inform Judy, but to maybe get this information to somewhere that actually keeps track of these scammers. I have met and become friends with another one of his American 'friends' - the one just before Judy, and she and I have had entirely too much fun baiting Zakariae. She was never smitten by him and was also playing him along. He also started asking her for $$ but refused her offer to buy him American stuff and send it.

Just thought you all might like to know that the Saga of Judy & Zakaraie/Nabil continues in the most unexpected way. I will never know what is really happening because when we see each other it's as if he doesn't exist, as if she never went to Morocco.....has not shown a single picture, told a single story of the sites she saw, or anything. Who knows, maybe she only saw the inside of hotels, trains and buses, except to go out for a meal in the cool of the evening.

Thank you all for listening, giving me the benefit of your advice and wisdom here. And especially thanks to Neptune for telling me I have made friends here. I am grateful.
