A woman who says she was conned out of £50,000 by her Senegalese husband in a immigration marriage scam wants to help other women avoid the same fate . Kim Sow , 58 , from Dover , has been calling for the government to take action since her husband Laye walked out on her after obtaining his British citizenship . She alleges that Laye had been in the UK illegally and she now believes he was already married to at least two other women . Kim Sow appeared on today 's This Morning to share her story of how she was 'duped by a love rat ' Kim , pictured with Laye , believes he married her to gain her assets and British citizenship . Kim , a music producer was 49 when she first met Laye , then 43 , in a London nightclub in 2007 . She said there was an 'instant attraction ' and their romance had a 'normal progression to a full-on relationship ' . He told her he was a widower supporting three young children in Senegal . Kim said she had no reason not to believe him as he even had his wife 's death certificate to prove it . 'He said he was a religious man so could n't live with me if we were n't married . He told me he did n't believe in polygamy and did n't do affairs . 'He told me his wife had died and his children were being cared for by relatives and he had paperwork to prove it , ' she told presenters Phillip Schofield and Amanda Holden on today 's This Morning . Kim , who was unable to have children after an ectopic pregnancy left her infertile , said the prospect of having a ready-made family with Laye was a dream come true . She said : 'When we married , I thought his children would come and live with us . I was so happy . 'One of the attractions for me was that I could n't have children . I was thrilled to be marrying a man with three lovely children , they were the apple of my eye . I spoke to them on the phone and sent them presents , they were my life . ' I even bought a five bedroom house in Dover where we could live as a family . ' Kim and Laye married at Kingston registry office in June 2008 . ' I was the happiest woman in the world thinking I had a family and it all came crashing down , ' Kim said . The music producer told presenters Phillip Schofield and Amanda Holden , left , that she had no reason to believe Laye was still married as he showed her his wife 's death certificate . ' I found out he 'd had an affair and he said it was because he was missing his children . I gave him a second chance but then found all these other layers of lies and secrets . 'It was all thanks to Facebook that I discovered his real story . ' Using the social network site , Kim said she discovered Laye had n't lied about the death of his first wife , with whom he had one child . But he had gone on to marry another woman in Africa with whom he had his two other children . She found evidence he had then married a Dutch woman and possibly another English woman - and appeared to have ripped them off in similar circumstances to his dealings with her . She also found Facebook messages from Laye to other women he was targeting on dating websites . At the end of her interview , Phillip pointed out charges have not been made against Laye since he left Kim . Following Kim 's allegations , police have begun an investigation into Laye for bigamy , fraud and associated crimes . But it is unclear if he is still in Britain . Kim remains adamant he is a 'love rat ' who has left her poorer and broken-hearted . Kim is now working with Immigration Marriage Fraud UK to stop others suffering her fate . On This Morning she said she knows people will think she 's a fool for being taken in but she said she had done lots of checks away to ensure Laye was who he said he was . ' I do n't have imbecile on my forehead , ' she said . ' I had checked his paperwork and it had gone through lawyers , embassies and the registry office . I had met him in the UK . ' Kim is now working with Immigration Marriage Fraud UK to force government policy change .
