Hi - thanks to reading stuff posted here I now know I have definitely been in touch with a scammer.I was first contacted on Facebook by a guy saying he was in the US Military serving in Kabul. I did think he wasn't who he said he was and did think that English might not have been his first language as his photos came up in a google search as available from the US Army official site or on itunes but I wasn't 100% sure and so just chatted to him occasionally. As time went on we talked more and the doubts were still there - like he talked about his gun being an AK47 which the Americans don't have and avoided too many conversations about stuff he had mentioned in the past but we had fun chatting and talking and I never got asked for anything so just went with the flow. He was coming to the end of his deployment and was going to come see me in the UK when he finished and so this week he gets told he's going home but has too much stuff to bring on the flight to the UK so his friend is going to ship it to me - I did question why he would send it here and not back to the States but this question got ignored.So today I get the email to say it has been shipped in Malaysia and I need to log on to the shipping company website and send them a copy of my ID. Well I may have been slightly myopic up to now but why would a soldier going back to the US be taking his friend's shipping boxes to Malaysia and what shipping company ever wants to see ID from the recipient so much as I have enjoyed chatting with my friend I have now had to block him on FBook and Google Chat and probably have to change my GMail email as he is still coming through on that. Obviously I'm sad as had built up a connection with someone who didn't exist but so far I've not lost anything financially.
So just in case anyone else is being contacted by Steven Jones who goes by Mike or his buddy Kent Meyers here are the email addresses and the email about the shipping.
[email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and his friend's email given to me in the shipping email is [email protected].
