Unless she's going to the middle east to see these guys in person, she's not really dating them.

Some people don't come out to family if there's an older generation still living that doesn't support people dating someone they like even if it's the same gender.

One she met on vacation. One she met online and went there to meet him. The guy now supposedly lives in the same city and like I said there were 2 pics of them she posted but that was 3 years ago.

I was just reading a story yesterday about something similar. Add on the guy was asking the woman for money regularly. Lots of promises.

She's not dating him. If he's local she would have more pics of them if they were still together

Unless she’s giving him money or endangering herself, I think you need to let her be.

Interesting. My younger sister hooked up and married one. It was funny to hear how he raged at Salman Rushdie about the book "The Satanic Verses" but he wanted to make sure we would permit him to drink Budweiser.

But we MET him. Nice enough guy, but he ended up leaving and she filed for divorce. Still, she didn't have an issue with meeting us, so you have some odd things going on. I'd just sit back and let her go with her life, but lend a crying towel when she comes around.

Wow, stop stalking your cousin. Find a real hobby, this is sick.

Even if you "worry" about her, which I is doubt - you are not her mom, you are just a cousin. And what if he scams her, what would you do then? Don't find excuses to be nosy, you know it is wrong. Leave her alone, this is crazy.

Maybe he's in jail, in and out.
Maybe he's in the CIA or FBI and is undercover.
Maybe he's not in this country at all.
Maybe his visa ran out and he's laying low in case your family has ICE connections.

Most likely he's married or not really her boyfriend, just a hookup.
Most likely she just wants to have a "boyfriend" to talk about (not be with) so people leave her alone.

She's a grown-up. If he's getting money from her that's up to her. Maybe he's worth it maybe not.

Seems to me five years is a bit long for him to be running a scam. Unless he's consistently getting some seriously huge bucks from her (is she loaded?), I doubt scammers play that kind of long game.

He's either:

a: married
b: non-existent, made up
c: something to be embarrassed about

or
d: she's gay and he's just a friend she's using as a "beard"

Mostly she just wishes you'd all quit bugging her about it. She's over 21, right? She has normal intelligence, not mentally challenged or otherwise unable to make decisions for herself, right? Then MYOB.
