It's a fair point your making but also what I'm hearing is racism, ageism, class systems and religion. We are all human beings with the same wants and needs. I think it's fair to say statistics prove there are a lot of scams happening in the countries mentioned on this forum and there are also people marrying for money on the opposite side of the coin. The fact is that it does come down to education. Think of the iceberg model of culture the further you delve the wiser you become. I believe the red flags and gut instincts are there but love is blind and fairytale fantasys are rife when we are in love. Morally anyone that uses someone through their heart for financial gain whether Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, black white,brown, young or old is shameful and despicable. It's a matter of survival for all of us and some will go to any length to reach the top of the food chain. We only have to look at the state the world is in because of big business.
