This is a scam. Wives, girlfriends, online friends are NOT allowed to petition the military for leave. Military members do not require payment for airline tickets.
If you have had messages like these, they are from scammers. DO NOT SEND THEM MONEY. Soldiers are not hanging around romance sites. Steer clear of soldier profiles.
This particular scammer has an IP address in Nigeria, however he uses a service to hide his IP address.

Travel allowance is provided to the soldier from the military. Never send money for 'travel allowance'. Military members have access to their pay. No real U.S soldier will ever find herself/himself without a paycheck.

This is to inform you that the name of your fiancée LUCAS HUTCHINSON has appear in the military emergency leave file and he is assigned to spend only 1 Year with you but before we can go ahead and issue your fiancée LUCAS HUTCHINSON the 1 years emergency leave confirmation we will want you to inform us the exact month and date which you will want him to take off for the leave And tell us the exact country you wish him to visit you.Also note that’the military authority has granted full certification for the traveling of MAJOR GENERAL LUCAS HUTCHINSON from KABUL Military Camp it will take him three days to arrive into your country.
All preparations have been made on his behalf and he would be leaving base on the date you approve for him to take off. Meanwhile he wouldn’t be given and issued his booked flight ticket until due clearance, The military authority on its jurisdiction wishes to inform you that strict orders are placed a minimum amount that would be paid directly to the U.S Military Basic Travel Allowance Agency (UMBTAA) to prove that MAJOR GENERAL LUCAS HUTCHINSON would not exceed the date in his leave Visa when he arrives to your country.
It is been reported that U.S military personnel’s deployed/stationed on special mission in oversea nations uses the emergency leave as a medium to leave and never return back to the camp for their specified duties. Soldiers also retire as soon as they leave their base through this means thereby leaving the United States military with emergency military intervention scheme because of the non-official leave granted of them especially because of their fiancée/wife in most
cases.
The applicant to his military emergency leave has to make an immediate refundable payment of $370 USD to the military authority as collateral to MAJOR GENERAL LUCAS HUTCHINSON Visa Expiry date; on approval of this sum from you MAJOR GENERAL LUCAS HUTCHINSON would be able to board his flight and access to leave the Kabuli base military camp whenever you wish. You are required to comply and assist the US military authority for the military emergency leave order to be carried out normally.
Your swift response to this matter would really be appreciated and would help in the facilitation of his traveling out from Afghanistan military camp by due agreement.
Thanks
