Karim el Gamel email address: ok_29@hotmail.comThis is a new one for us. The guy says 'works in the field of tourism in Egypt but has to also work part time as a sales man in the field of clothes' He quickly started to talk about money he needs for a VISA to come to the US because the embassy requires him to have 5,000 no 6,000 no 10,000 in his bank account. Here is the email where he gives us the embassy requirements:
hello baby..how are you?..about what is your embassy need its..
1/all certificates of education and certificate indicate that im clear from all diseases
2/certificate of verification shows that im a good citizen in my country and with good behaviour
3/give him what is refers to my monthly salary
4/testimony from my work that i work with them
5/bank account with 10.000 $ ten thousand at least
this is the most popular things your embassy asked for and many papers in all fields
here in egypt there is a lot of office agents help to finish all this in a short time..
hope we can handle any thing with us to be done soon...
love and kisses
karim
After going back and forth with the amount he decides he needs $6,000 from us. AND of course he wants us to send it WESTERN UNION just like every other Nigerian scammer out there.

Hi Everyone
ReplyDeleteI am British and have been married to an Egyptian for some years now.
Yes they do have to have a bank account showing a decent amount of money before they can get a visa. HOWEVER beware of Egyptians you meet online. A few can make good and sincere husbands but most just want to marry anyone to get the chance to travel outside Egypt and make money to build their life.
They are not in the same field as Nigerian scammers and I have not heard of them scamming women online purely for money (although they will accept gifts of mobile phones, playstations, laptops etc.
Many young men in Egypt have no opportunities to work or make money (other than day to day expenses) so I do understand why they are doing this but it is still not acceptable. They are brilliant at laying on the charm but most will marry you until they get a permanent work or residency visa, then divorce you and marry a "real" wife (some already have wives in Egypt of course).
