Ethiopia, Africa

journeywoman asks,

“Has anyone heard of internet marriage scams in Ethiopia. We are afraid our friend maybe shocked when he gets there. Is there a big problem with this in Addis Ababa?”

rescommunae answers,

In many places in Africa, people (most often men) use cyber cafés or telecentres to go fishing for prospective mates on the Internet. Marrying a westerner can be viewed as a ticket out of poverty and is essentially the equivalent of winning the state lottery. The up side is that Ethiopian women are quite friendly and amongst the most beautiful in the world.
