I have find out that the scammer I have met online tells me that they want to move to me in Sweden, thinking about getting a Schengen Visa.

If they move to me in Sweden and marry me they get a Schengen Visa and when they have got it they have full access to Europe and can then move down to whatever country they want to live in.

I am only a stepping stone for them to reach central Europe !!!

I suppose most of people they scam in a not so populare country will be seeing them marry and run if they make it to the man/woman.

For one year ago did I lived in a complex house were it was most people from non European countries and most of the people didn't lived in their apartments, they had only their address there !!! They were down in central Europe making business !!

Schengen Visa

Most of the members of Schengen are also members of the EU, between which customs controls have also been abolished, leaving no checks at all at the borders.

It could be like that all right, and getting married to a scammer who is out after a visa would be about the worst thing that could happen to you. But a lot of scammers use this visa story as a ruse to ask you for money to help them get the visa.

If this person has your real information, I'd say just quietly abandon them. If you would like specific guidance you can always ask, or PM a moderator.

AS Trawler said, most likely the lad just wants the money - but it is unusual for them to be so specific and to know the ins and outs of that specific Visa for Sweden.

Maybe they want to move to Sweden to take advantage of the welfare (these scammers are always out for a free dollar)

But drop all communication, don't even tell them you know they are a scammer - It will only teach them to be smarter next time - and we don't want that.

Hope you are OK - and keep safe.
