A British woman married a young African man but 20 years later, she discovered that everything was a scam.

When Margaret Sarr met Samba on vacation in The Gambia, she knew that he was "the man of his dreams". But 20 years later, he confirmed that he had lived a nightmare. The British woman fell in love with the young African, who is 23 years younger than her and all bet for this love. She has left her husband forever, spent her savings on her new marriage, and even went on to process permits so her partner could move to the UK. But then he discovered that everything had been a scam. Your new lover I just wanted citizenship to live in Europe.

In an exclusive interview with The sunMargaret said that not only was her heart broken. The pensioner had to return to work because she was short of money and could now lose a property that she had bought 90,000 pounds sterling, as part of the badet splitting of her divorce.

The British recalled that she had met Samba on her first trip to The Gambia with her husband at the time, in November 2002. The chemical composition was instantaneous and the age difference seemed a minor detail .

When she fell in love with this young man, she started going to Africa twice a year, to the point where her husband began to suspect their relationship and had to divorce. Already single, she decided to take another step in her relationship with Samba and the following year they got married at a luxury ceremony. She paid everything.

Even if no one in her family wanted to go to the wedding, she did not care. Her lover, who worked as a carpenter, was everything she dreamed of as a couple and no one could spoil her beautiful day.

After paying and processing the necessary permits for Samba's move to the UK, they both moved to Machynlleth, Wales. But at the same time, the relationship has completely changed.

"I was eradicated.In Africa, I was proud to be with me, but because of the age difference he never wanted us to be seen here together"she unconsciously told The sun.

The local community has not finished accepting them and they had to travel to Newton, Powys, where they rented a property. It meant that Margaret I had to go back to work full time in a hospital. Samba, on the other hand, did not do anything at home. "I had to work all day to make ends meet and he would sit all day," he added.

As if that was not enough, the woman began to suspect that her husband I was unfaithful. And although he vehemently denied it, he discovered that not only had he had an extramarital affair, but that he had also had two children with his lover.

Although deep down she knew that the excuses were all lies, she decided to believe it and they stayed together. In 2012, up to he got her British citizenship. Until the day he was tired and separated.

"I was really gullible. All he wanted was a pbadport and a life in the United Kingdom. I got it out of poverty and that's how it paid me, "said Margaret, who is now fighting not to lose a property that she bought 90,000 pounds, but that she called Samba.

In rethinking her story, Margaret says that has "the soul destroyed" and warned other women of her age of this type of cheating. "My lawyer always sees cases similar to mine in The Gambia, and these guys are looking for white and European ladies to take everything from them," he said.
