Army scam - Kabul, Afghanistan

[whitehrl]

Please, please beware!!! I met a man on a dating Web site and he made himself sound so perfect to me. We hit it off and my first warning should have been that he called me honey and babe the first day! He said he was a Major in the Army in Afghanistan and that his fiance had been killed in a car crash a year ago so he absorbed himself in work. He also said he was an only child and his parents were deceased and had no home to come back to when he was released from the Army. Why didn't I see that was all a scam? Because I wanted to believe it was real. But then a few days later he was asking me to fill out papers to have him released and I was going to be responsible for the fees involved. I was a little apprehensive so I checked on here and guess what??? Someone else got the same email as I did signed by the same individual except for a different Major's name!!! I will post the email after this. I do not believe that an email address ending in usa.com is a real military address. And I will tell you that after a week, I found this guy again on the same site with a different user name!!!!! So it was definitely a scam. I have so much other stuff to say but too long to write here! Just please BEWARE!!!!!!!

Here is the email I got granting his leave. Don't believe it!!!
"usaaf_leave_dept@usa.com" <usaaf_leave_dept@usa.com>

I meet a guy named Gary R.Donnelly on a site called tagged.
He is in Us Army Uniform claiming to be one of the active duty in war zone in Kabul Afghanistan..
In our chatting for mot up to a week h said i should help him so he could come to me in Africa.
And he therefore ask me to help him take a leave from the camp..not knowing it was a planned work..he later demanded for money that i have to send 550 usd in other for thier commander to approve the leave..

US ARMY BE VIGILANT...THIS IS BECOMING TOO MUCH..I HAVE PROOFS ..PICTURE , EMAIL..AND LETTES WRITTEN TO ME.

[Bubbles]

They are army and in the line of duty. How come they got time to be online...ahaksssss...

[began steele]

Could you give me the Tagged link please, and also the other email addresses used. You can post it here. We will add it to our attack list and their dirty business there will become harder to run. If you see my other posts around SW you will note that I collect a considerable quantity of material from Tagged. I can gather relevant stuff to add to this post and look closely at its links to other profiles to seek out the extent of what it does in Tagged.
I tend towards "working " as a Scam Hunter, but we have a collection of similar people who are good at blagging scammers into giving up what we want, and it can go a long way to fighting back and warning others.

And so on we have chatted for three weeks after a week he was saying how he loved me etc....i was aware of scams and because he was away i took it with a pinch of salt. He said he had asked for leave and i recieved an email to say he was granted leave and i had to pay. 3,500 USD. I had done some reasearch and know that they don't pay for leave. he claims he has taken out a loan for 2,000USD and if i don't lend him the balance he will lose his money and leave.

I have documents and photos so if you want to see them please get in touch as i am sure i am not his one and only..

I am having this issue as well he is saying he is a Nurse in the Army stationed out of CA at Camp Pinington he is in Afghanastan and has asked for a computer and a cell phone and a care package sent to someone in the US who is his captains wife and then she will send it to him and his captain. I checked out the person and address he wants me to send this too but have not sent anything at all to him. Now he is asking me to mail his post and ask for him to come home because I miss him. This is something that I am weary about and do not feel comfortable doing. I know as an ex military wife that I have had my ex husband when we were married come home early from Korea but only because I went through the red Cross because of a medically necessary surgery. I was wanting to find out if this was a scam and if it is wanted to make sure I DO NOT go any further with his requests. His email is jordanknoc@yahoo.com he stated his wife died of a drug overdose and his son lives in Los Angeles, CA with his mom. My thing is that I have tried to find info on this person but can only find a myspace account and nothing more then that. Originally met him on Tagged dating site. any info is appreciated.

Welcome vpj,
There is absolutely no doubt that this is a scam.

As a former military wife, you should realize that not even a wife can request leave for her husband because she "misses him." And she doesn't contact the military to apply for leave either. In a family emergency such as the one you had years ago, you would work with the Red Cross, not his commanding officer. The Red Cross would determine if your situation qualified for emergency leave, and they would act as go-between to make it happen if they determined it qualified.

And the policy above applies to the legal spouse of the soldier. You are a civilian who has been in contact with this person via email. You have not met face to face. You are not married, nor are you an immediate blood relative.

As far as the military is concerned, you are an unconnected civilian, and might as well be a perfect stranger--which means that even a life-threatening medical situation would not make the soldier eligible for any kind of leave.

In the real world of the US military, the soldier applies for leave himself, through internal military channels. He does not pay any fees, and there are no forms for the people he plans to visit to fill out.

If you have been corresponding with someone claiming to be in the US military, and he asks you to request ANYTHING for him from the military, then he is a scammer, not a soldier, plain and simple.

Thank you for this information this is what I thought was going on.
