Grandmother, 83, who married 37-year-old Egyptian toyboy after meeting him on Facebook issues warning against 'scammers and con-artists' on dating sites after they split

23/05/2024

An 83-year-old grandmother who met an Egyptian toyboy lover less than half her age on Facebook has issued a stark warning against 'scammers and con-artists'.

Iris Jones, 83, tied the knot with Mohamed Ibrahim, 37, in 2020 and assured critics, including those in her family, that their relationship would last.

But last year it emerged she had thrown him out of her home near Weston-super-Mare and replaced him in her affections with her cat Mr Tibbs.

In a Facebook post, Ms Jones said: 'A warning to all vulnerable women on-line, chatting to scammers and con-artists, thinking they are messaging genuine males on legitimate dating sites.

'Be aware that these criminals are only interested in getting their filthy paws on your money, and will sweet-talk you for weeks or even months in order to achieve their goal.

'I, myself have been targeted by four scammers in the last few months and regard myself now as a competent scam hunter!'

The pensioner posted the email she sent to the most recent scammer for the 'perusal' of her followers.

The email read: 'Let’s cut to the chase shall we, you evil snivelling gobshite?

'For the length of time you’ve been trying to con me out of $3,500, I have been deceiving you with a carefully prepared script, which has had me in fits of laughter, because you swallowed every word I said!

'You see, you pig-faced moron, you picked on the wrong woman this time, because I make it my business to expose scammers such as you and your ilk.

'I have really enjoyed being the puppet master, having you dance to my tune.

'It only remains for me to say that I am delighted that you exited my life EMPTY-HANDED!!!! Tootle-pip, sunshine.'

Ms Jones has had her fair share of scammers.

In early 2020, Ms Jones raised eyebrows when she appeared with Holly and Phil on This Morning – reducing them to hysterics.

The pensioner opened up about her first night of passion with Mr Ibrahim after she travelled to Egypt to meet him.

The couple married in November 2020 and they spent almost two years apart before Mr Ibrahim was finally granted a visa which allowed him to move into Ms Jones's bungalow.

Soon after Ms Jones dumped Mr Ibrahim he moved onto another woman.

He started dating mother-of-11 Angela Rogers, 61, after he won her over with supermarket flowers.

Ms Rogers initially reached out to see how Mr Ibrahim was doing in the aftermaths of his break-up and he told her he was 'lonely and depressed' on a video call.

She said he showered her with compliments, telling her she was beautiful and asking to meet up in person.

Ms Rogers, who had been single for 14 years, told the toyboy that he could come and stay in her spare room, but admitted: 'He's the biggest mistake I ever made.'

'He's a freeloader who clearly has a thing about older women. I don't want to see him hurting anyone else.'

Mr Ibrahim travelled 225 miles on the train from Somerset to Leeds where he picked Ms Rogers up, swung her round and told her she was his 'Queen'.

He proceeded to buy her flowers and grapes from Marks & Spencer before cooking her up a Spaghetti Bolognese at her flat.

Despite planning to have him stay in the spare room, Ms Rogers admitted that he ended up in her bed where they had the 'best sex'.

Mr Ibrahim is said to have proposed to his new girlfriend on a foot-bridge over the A64 York Road in Leeds just five weeks after they started dating.

Although Ms Rogers declined, this did not put Mr Ibrahim off, proposing a second time without ever buying her a ring.

This relationship sadly ended when Ms Rogers - who splashed out £5,000 on her younger beau - dumped Mr Ibrahim after she caught him messaging a 69-year-old widow.

Ms Rogers claims that he never offered to pay for anything and that she would fund his clothes, trainers, aftershave, bus fares and meals among other luxuries.

He also allegedly asked her for £800 to pay for his divorce from Ms Jones but she refused to hand him the money.

But she did give him £550 after he told her his father was ill and he needed to visit him in Egypt.

He later told her that his dad had made a miraculous recovery and promptly returned to the UK.

Ms Rogers is determined to find out the truth about why Mr Ibrahim married Ms Jones and why he used both elderly women.

She fears that Mr Ibrahim is using women to extend his visa, which runs out in June.

Mr Ibrahim has since accused Ms Rogers of trying to gain fame by associating with his name and in a video on social media said: 'I moved to the north after I separated with this woman for a few weeks. But I'm back again in my area.'

In another he told women to 'leave me alone'.

He said: 'Some idiots, some trollers want to be famous on my back.

'This message is for all women and girls who follow me. Leave me alone.'
