Egyptian marriage fraud
xxxx
I made a Facebook page to try and prevent others from going through this.
I do have a friend in Egypt and he told me the area we lived in was known for this because it is very poor. I know that it's not all Egyptians. He was just a con. I wanted to be in love and I fell for it. Doesn't make it right.
Now I am in America and half of my personal belongings are in Egypt. Probably being used by someone else.
He was denied a Visa three times. Now his passport and name are flagged.

Sorry again.. I have American friends here i Egypt.. And really never had this situation before.. They like Egyptian people.. Just you fall in wrong person.. Not Linked to Egyptian at all.. You have to take your Right and get back your money.. U have to ask Lawyer about that..
i am sorry to hear about what happened to you , but there are some points
you mentioned about marriage ceremony .... but did you have an official marriage certificate ????????
you can ask the US embassy to hire a lawyer for you in egypt , even while you are in US .... but , for a case in court , you will need to provide them the proofs ; like the marriage certifcates , and proof of money transfer
Trust me I have heard some really deep, emotional soul destroying stories. It's high level narcissistic behaviour where these people just don't give a ......!
It's the sad truth that we foreigners are looked at like 'parachutes' to them. We are simply a means to an end, a way out of their country to a make a better life for themselves and their families - **by any means necessary!**
This kind of mindset and behaviour held just helps to foster more and more distrust from Egyptians to foreign nationals. It embeds a cautiousness and a fear about even remotely getting involved with an Egyptian, especially on a relationship level, because time and time again a very high percentage of foreigners, majority women do get screwed over to this extent and worse. Leaving hearts broken and the woman an emotional wreck. But God is not sleeping and women are Gods most precious creation who man has been tasked to lead, protect and care for. So there will be the wrath of God to face for any man doing like this. May not be immediate, the consequence may not even be to him directly but to a member of his family or loved one, but you can believe one thing as a surety, it will be put right by God's charge whether in this life or the next! God is close to the broken-hearted, poor and needy and will fight for them when they're oppressors are mightier than they are.
It's really not a good look for Egypt and gives many hardworking, honest, upright Egyptians a very bad reputation. It happens so frequently, that it has become known by many foreign national as being a part of the Egyptian culture. Immediate thoughts of an Egyptian man wanting to get to know you ****BIG FLASHING ALERT SIGN: BEWARE!!!!!! DANGER!!!!! **** going off in your mind.
All it's achieved is helped to solidify the stereotype that Egyptian men are *mitch manhoe F***boy goldiggers*, in politer terms Egyptian men who will do whatever and go to whatever lengths with a foreigner to obtain money, better status and sex OFTEN WITH AN EGYTPIAN WIFE ACCOMPLICE pimping her husband out for cash.....so sad and all it's doing is wrecking innocent people's lives!

yes many are , hahaha .
who can give you information about unknown person ???
simply if you are in doubt , dont marry with him.
and if he is not rich , then he will not be able to provide you the suitable life style for you .......... then either , to forget about marriage with him , or you marry in your country ...
if you consider marriage in your country , try to give yourself enough time to know more about him .
and as an advice , dont give him any cent....... and inform him that earning money in europe or US is not easy ... and that people dont make money because they just live in europe or the states .
also , dont jump into sexual affair with him ........
so , if you plan to continue with him , you have to keep 2 things : your money and Your dignity or your body
dont forget that there are good people and bad people .......... so dont jump into fast conclusions or fast affair.... gather more information about him ... just what he say to you .... and make your analysis.
EDIT :
Dont marry Orfi ........ it is not legal marriage ..... not registered ...... ( That is if you plan to marry with him)
also , I advise you to know about culture in egypt ...... you will read a lot of fake unreal articles online ... but try to know the real cultural differences......... I know it may be hard , but just try to get some information.
i hope that i didn't disappoint you , but i wrote you honestly.

but take your time in analysis .
collect information from him ... all information needed to predict stability and success of marriage ; like his job , his income , his house , where he live ......... any kind if information that may come to yur mind , and you see it important , then try to know it ........... and know the data , before even considering visit to egypt to meet him.
It just proves that it is best to be friends with someone first before you fall in love and give all of you away which is easier said then done because Egyptian men have a certain way with words....but they are just words....and we need to patiently stick around for the right action.
I am no-one to judge as I had a similar painful experience. But I agree with my sister, God will put this right one way or another and God will never give us more hardship than we can handle - so girls take a deep breath learn from the experience and hold your heads high for getting through this and just by sharing your stories you will protect other women/men from going through the same.
Salvage what you can when your strength returns but don't turn bitter and don't be tempted to point at a whole country as there must sure be some good man in Egypt. And there are men deprived in other countries who do similar things.
We should therefore try to put things in context and try to learn and understand........
We should understand about the suffering in Egypt. Suffering and hardship often breeds desperation and evil - having said that it does not make this behavior right but it helps us to understand what happened and why.
What chance does a little poor boy have who nobody really cares about, who grows up in a dirty house and street, hears bad words all day, who is told by his dad to be tough and not to cry, who sees his dad beat his mum and treat women in general with no respect, he watches people deceive each other all day long and soon learns to do the same to survive, he hears gun shots daily in his neighborhood and has lost many friends by the time he is 15. Either they were sick but the hospital was bad and does not care to keep the poor alive so they just died from an illness that we would easily cure in Europe. Other friends got shot or stabbed or are heavy drug users.
He learns quick that even if he was soft at heart at some point, if he does not act tough he may come to harm. So he tries to stay strong resists temptations but to do so he is forced to kill any emotion inside himself because it hurts too much.
If he is smart he will learn how to be more deceitful than the next person to stay on top of the game and to save himself.
Many guys like this have an exceptional hard life growing up and nobody who grew up with good housing, a loving family, schooling, food and good friends will ever know what that feels like.
Some of these men are smart and handsome, they learn English from the TV and try to inform themselves learning how to act educated. These men learn and understand what women want, to them women are all the same but they find out that they can use their good looks for something ...to get foreign women to escape....to Egyptians foreign women are cheap ....almost like the prostitutes in his neighborhood and so in his simple mind they do not deserve respect......so he will set out to use them to his advantage and find any vulnerable woman to marry to get him out of Egypt....by now he has perfected the game of deceit and tells her what she wants to hear.....which results in the stories we hear again and again from Sharm etc. Of course not all guys have suffered the same hardship but something made them that cold and they were all sweet loving boys at one point........
but hard life have set these men up for a feeling of entitlement .... they say "I deserve a better live" ....and that is true.
But at fault is also the poor economy, the corrupt government, the people around him who made him what he is today.
It's the result of a declining economy where lot's of young men are on the street, where you need a degree to get any job where religion puts pressure on men to provide stacks of cash and a flat before they have any chance to get married....imagine growing up knowing that you will never have a family because you will never earn enough....
I guess what I am saying is we need to see things in context because it helps us understand the why.... when we understand the why it hopefully becomes easier to forgive to find peace in ourselves and to move on.
Do consider that you may love again but men like that may never know what true love feels like - that is so very sad because LOVE on earth is the most precious thing. So to my mind sadly they have lost much more than they can ever take from anyone.
