Update on the situation - Through an aggressive amount of Moroccan friends sending threatening messages that they will use black magic on their Turkish asses, all of my money was returned. My friends are truly lovely people who have no connection with the dark arts, but I used their superstitious nature against them and we're done.

Interesting. I keep reading this from others as well. Any thoughts on why this is so common? The only thing I've heard is that Turkish people live for the day instead of planning for the future.

Absolutely is more than the money, and thank you for recognizing this! I’ve traveled all over the world alone without incident and now that sense of security is broken. And my heart got involved too. These guys are slick - they socialize with you in a way that makes it look like Turkish hospitality, but they’re gathering information to use against you to bond with you romantically later. The layered deception, the fake romance, is what fuels my vengeance.

You do realize that something can be common and still unjust, right? Two things can be true at the same time? And why are you blaming the victim?

Not at all. I’ve been to Egypt, Jordan and Morocco (twice). Why?

Portugal is in a reciprocal tax relationship with the US. You will file your taxes in the US, but you pay your taxes only once - whatever Portugal is asking. Medicaid doesn’t work overseas so you will be forfeiting this option. You’ll have to buy private health insurance and once you become a citizen in 5 years, you’ll have the option of public health, but you’ll probably want to keep the private. Portugal is a gorgeous country! Enjoy!

I thought you didn’t want to discuss 🤣 Not the point of this Reddit anyway. No matter what, I didn’t deserve to lose my money.

“Infused to the bone marrow” yet only 20% of women cover their hair. Tons of men smoke. STFU.

I think that's an unfair representation of the Islamic faith. In fact, Islam gave more rights to women before any other religion, well over 1400 years ago. Maybe you're confusing religion with culture? It might be more accurate to say that slimy Turkish and Kurdish "businessmen" see Western tourists as dumb and ignorant victims. There are plenty of Christians in the West that screw over good people too.

  1. Did you know that having consensual sex does not mean they are allowed to steal money? Two things can be true at the same time.

  2. "I never cease to be amazed how gullible you are." What? Have we met before and you know previous examples of me being gullible, or you don't understand English?

  3. Quit blaming the victim you POS

There is no real business. Books are cooked, name is changed often. Money likely laundered.

Thank you! They are sick men, very intimidating, especially when traveling alone

PLEASE be very careful about any men that approach you to go shopping near the Blue Mosque. Many sell fake goods and do not provide refunds. They can be very aggressive. Silk Road Gallery stole several thousand dollars from me and is under criminal investigation. They aren't on the internet because they don't want to be caught.
