MENA sensitive poll regarding Do or Don't Tell

[sarah and hicham 3]

Hi Girls,

Sorry to pull up this old thread, but seriously, what do you do if you know of a situation but can't get in touch with the woman who is involved? For example if its a support group online, but the guy is pretending to be the girl. What do you do? Even worse, when in the same group there are pics of the guy with two different girls. Geez...

It really sux!!!!

Oh boy. This is bad news, but I think if possible, tell the person who is involved with him now.

I have seen this before too, yikes!

Inquiring mind here...did anyone tell the woman involved? How did she take it?

The man (Younes) claimed to be the second USC fiancee when he began posting. When he later admitted to being the man, he claimed his fiancee knew everything about his past. But she has not posted here, as far as anyone knows. Nobody knows who she is, even her name, or how to contact her. A few people saw what may have been her picture before he removed it from his profile. So perhaps she will do her own research and believe what she finds.

I could actually find some sympathy for him had he not been so blatantly using the first woman for a Visa. Remember the time his brother contacted her and claimed that he (Younes) was in a coma in the hospital and that he needed money sent for his medical care? Pathetic.

It surprises me how many men like this pull the wool over women's eyes.

Woah! My former room-mate Becky was a victim of this same scam while she lived with me. It was very sad actually because he scammed her out of $4.000. He met her on Eharmony.com the Christian Dating site online and he went by the name of David. We google earthed his home online and it didn't exist. Then when we tried to find him over the telephone he didn't exist either. He said he was traveling all over the world and was a doctor and business man and that his business partner died while traveling. This business partner she had supposedly met online. David promised many things to Becky and sent her many pretty pictures of him in California but who knows really where those pix came from. He also had a brother who died while he was in transit to meet her. I told her many times that it was a scam to get out and there would just be more excuses to follow. But the greatest scam of all came when he sent her a US government postal order and she cashed it at her bank per his persuasion believing it was real. The she made more money orders and mailed three checks off on his behalf believing he was her finance at the time and she could trust him. After all without trust how could there be love?

I still remember the many late night calls from "him" saying it was an international call though an operator and so my dear friend Becky would communicate with a "black woman's voice" believing it was the international operator for her beloved.

It wasn't until two months later when the US postal money orders didn't clear with her bank account that she realized it was an all out scam. She turned in her former receipts from the counterfeit money order to the FBI who were now on the case. She did everything she could to catch these sophisticated online predators. Later we would read in the papers that they caught 150 of these online predators from Canada. We wouldn't know if the one called "David" was hers though.

That same coma line was used with my best friend Becky with an online predator. If these predators still exist they need to be reported to the FBI immediately to prevent these sophisticated scams and protect the innocent!

I take what I said back. lol. I do know of a situation where a guy is being deceitful but I'm not saying anything only because I don't know the wife too well. She's never been overly friendly to me and actually was outright rude at one point so faggitaboutit.

If it were someone I was fairly close to though I would absolutely say something.
