How can I tell if my friend in Morocco is a conman?

Hello, I was just wondering what clues I should red flag whether my Moroccan Friend is just conning me? Thank You, Kaloni

1. Is he asking you to send you money or trying to make you feel sorry for him about some situation of his? That is probably the first clue. What makes you think he is conning you? Is he saying something or did someone else tell you that he is?
2. If he asked you to marry him, asked you to get him a visa, asked you to come see him, claims he is poor or broke, ask for money
3. if you are talking about for marriage and immigration purposes then only time and your own common sense and intuition will be able to tell you. So many people list "warning" signs but the fact is every relationship and person is different. You must understand one thing however, MAJORITY of Muslim men do not want to marry a non-Muslim and even if they do their family does not like this, so every one of them that is easily willing to do this is suspect to me. However there have been cases where the man married a non-muslim and she helped him to immigrate and he is truley in love with her and he stays with her but i would say that there are more cases where this is not the case. Eventually he will want someone who he can have children and build a family with and the truth is the cultures alot of times are to different and there is a clash so i say that marriage is already hard enough, so marry someone that has the same core beliefs as you. EDIT: "clutz" thats because they are ignorant. no Muslim man in their right mind is going to marry a woman who eats pigs and will end up feeding that mess to his children not to mention that non-Muslims dont pratice the same personal hygeine that we do(i wont go into details but u can ask one of your "Muslim" friends what im talking about) and the list goes on and on and on. Also let me guess... your "Muslim" friends drink, smoke and party too! I bet they dont make prayer or go to the Mosque and if they do then you tell them that Hind would like to meet them because i have to see for myself a man who prays and goes to the Mosque but chooses a non-Muslim wife because i have never met one.These type of men have no choice but to marry non-Muslims because no Muslim women is going to want them and these men know that with us they will be held accountable. Look i come from an Islamic country and i know the general thinking of the people and like i said even if the man is willing to accept this woman with out her converting to Islam, you can believe that his family is disgusted and disappointed even if they dont outwardly show it around his wife. The Quran says that believing men are for believing women and vice versa so you friends clearly dont care about their religion and in that case they dont deserve a clean Muslim woman. EDIT: "Mesmouma" ,me fraustrated? Never :-) No Muslim man who loves his religion is going to be ok with his children "choosing" to be anything but a Muslm so please i am not buying your story about your father being this good Muslim. You say that your father prays and i am sure that he dosent. As far as all the "good" men going to foreigners, i am over here laughing, you cant be serious. But i am sure that you dont know any better so i cut you some slack. and ummmm so tell me what religion did you "choose"; im sure it wasant Islam so i bet your daddy is real proud of you huh? LOL!
4. Trust your instincts. If you think he's too good to be true, then perhaps you should think about it a bit more. Everyone has the capabilities of conning people, I'm quite versed in it myself. The red flags people notice about con men are usually (but not only) such as wanting you to send them money, crying to you about how much they don't have and need your help, saying I luv u and we should get married within a short period of time of knowing him, just typically shady behaviour. I know some people who are married so soon after meeting and stay together but like someone else said relationships are all so different. Just trust your gut. If he tells you he is working overnight and you feel like he's not telling the truth, think about it. If you're divorced or a single mother, you should be extra careful because you are bringing your own child into it - a lot of con men will marry a woman who has children so he doesn't have to give her children for a green card. You do, however, say "Friend" so I don't know if its a potential love or just a friend that's trying to get a "loan" out of you. However, I will say the same thing either way: TRUST YOUR GUT. Our bodies are good at telling us when things are not right or good. Listen to it carefully. Egypt- I personally know more Muslim men married to Christian women than I know married to Muslim women. A few of my friends actually have work visas or lottery green card, and still choose to marry a non-Muslim! Amazing, isn't it? That love can cross the borders of religion?
5. First of all, I just want to tell egypt here, my father is muslim and my mom is christian. He goes to the mosque and he does his prayer. We don't eat pork and we have been taught both religions, and we are free to chose to join one or the other. You are being a nasty b**** and you are probably just frustrated because all the good men are going to foreigners and you are stuck with the boozers who treat you like a ... To the person asking the question, a man who introduces you to his family is serious. If he hesitates, it might be just a trap. Sorry to be mean, but if you are a big girl or very not pretty, watch yourself. If you go on a visit and he'd rather stay home, another one. What if you offer to go live there, what would he say? Also, don't give money, ever.
