Her expertise is 'flipping', as they say in the real estate 

business.

Istanbul businessman Aydın E. met realtor Nilay P. when he went to

Çorlu in Tekirdağ province to buy a house for his nephew a year and

a half ago.  Soon after, Aydın bey and Nilay hanım became a couple

and Nilay hanım promised to marry Aydın bey, getting 328,000 TL

(about $40,000) from him at this time. 

However (!), Nilay hanım began to reject Aydın bey's requests to get

together.  Suspicious, Aydın bey determined that Nilay hanım was at

a hotel, based on the GPS device in the car he had given her.  Aydin

went to the hotel and discovered Nilay hanım with another man.  

Aydın bey with awards from Nilay hanım after 'successful'

get-togethers, submitted to the court as evidence.

Aydın bey filed a fraud complaint against Nilay hanım and explained

that "we became a couple and after two months she told me 'I've got

to pay 50,000 TL but I'm really in a bind.'  I sent her the money and I

wanted to marry her, in response to which she said 'we'll get married in

a year or two.'  Then she began asking me for money frequently.  Many

people have been hoodwinked this way."

Continuing, Aydın bey said that "this woman is a genuine bilker.  I

will never let the matter drop.  People can't be used in this way.  I want

her to be punished.  I have lots of witnesses and documents."

As for Nilay hanım, she stated that "I'm a realtor. I don't know what he

said or did.  He says he's given everything to the court.  He's in debt

to me and my friend and we have documents.  How could I promise to

marry a married man?  Aydın bey's claims are absolutely untrue."
