went on holiday to turkey with my friend wasnt looking for anyone the unexpected happened a met a turkish guy we both hit it off
when i came back he called every night after he finished work ,one night he asked if i could buy him mobile phone as his is no good and send to him ,which he has a smashed screen he said he would pay me back every month as he can not afford to buy out right he also says he has to get a visa to come over as the plan was for him to come and visit me but he says its hard for him to come over because of the visa situation i would have to send invitation for him
i am quite confused whats going on so i ended conversation said i need time tothink i have no idea about turkish men we also chatted about me going to istanbul at christmas to meet up by myself i am not comfortable going by myself i would go with a friend if that was the case any help on this matter would be great

Can you reply to him in a like minded way?

e.g. 'I would buy you a phone but I'm broke and was actually hoping you would get me a phone'. Also 'Forget the UK, can you pay for me to come to Turkey. I'd like to bring my boxer husband, Bruce, if you don't mind. He'd love to meet you'.

He is obviously a scammer so wouldn't hurt to wind him up a bit.

i am confused he seem so nice as well
so i am defo wary about this i really do not know what to say to him

Of course they seem nice, their life depends on it. They want money and to gain a visa for the UK. I’m sorry you’re not the first and not the last. They prey on vulnerable women as they know they’re easy work unfortunately.

Block the number and move on, he’s interested in what you can provide for him not you

I’ve only known one relationship to work she is gorgeous blonde and clever, he too was handsome. She moved there and they’ve been married over 12 years she teaches English over there. It can work if it’s an equal relationship, but it f you take a step back and think are we equal and the answer is no then you must know deep down.
