Information on romance scams and scammers.
#175730 by Faizan Docherty Thu Sep 05, 2013 12:12 am
A current romance scammer is stealing photos of a real general and is attempting to assume his identity:

GEN Paul J. Selva.

He is using this email: [email protected]

He is also sporting a forged ID card. It may look genuine to the untrained eye, but in the military community, it sticks out like a €7 bill!

Please DO NOT tell a scammer that he has been posted here!

If you wish you can email me at
faizandocherty @ scamwarners [dot] com

How do I find email headers???

How to analyze an email header.

please help me, I think I got scammed by this person who says his name is Salvatore Giunta, here is a copy of his ID card he gave me... thank you to tell me if it is true .... I'm really desperate ....

If he sent you an ID with photos of the person shown above, then unfortunately we don't need any more information. We can already tell you for certain that it is a scammer.

If the photo was of a different person, while it is most likely a scam, we will need a bit more information (emails he sent you, claims he made) before we can say for absolutely certain.

Need to post photos? http://scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=3219

That ID is as fake as they come. I am sorry to say that you are dealing with an African thief, not an American soldier. The best thing you can do is cut off all contact with this fake, and post the information he is using, along with some of his emails, to warn others. Confronting him will not do any good. He will only tell you more lies, as these criminals are very experienced at saying whatever lie is necessary to help them to get the money they are after.

If you have sent any money, I am afraid that you have no chance of recovering it.

There are many scammers using stolen photos of that particular soldier. Here is another thread of a scammer using those photos.

Hello everybody!
I just found 3-4 days ago that i have been scamed. Have anybody heard something about a man who claims that is Colonel Frank Cochensparger, seving at Sudan War zone? I met him first in Badoo, after that start chatting in Facebook. He never asked me for money, but he told me that i must apply for his retire permission, and gave me e-mail address of the headquarted which is based in Malaysia???????!!!!!!. address is : [email protected]
They gave me instructionas about the charges an how to pay, The amount was about 17000 USD, part of it by Western Union, part of it by bank transfer, all to Malaysia. Unfortunately I didn’t hurt before anything about all these US Military scams, i am bulgarian cityzen, and i am so far away from these information, but after that I received another mail from United NationSecurity Center “representative”- Mr. Philip Mandy, that I have to go personally to Malaysia with another 35, 450 USD to sign personally documents for releasing the benefits of Frank Cochensparger from the UN tresor i started doubting that there is something wrong. E mail address of this Philip Mandy is: [email protected]
And the e-mail of Frank Cochensparger is: [email protected] and this is his Facebookk site: https://www.facebook.com/frank.cochensparger
I think this is a REALLY BIG SCAM, and how i was so stupid to believe that all the charges that i paye are refundable……but i saw all that just yesterday. If somebody can tell me more information about this soldier Frank Cochensparger, or is also a his victim like me, please contact me on my e-mail.

HI
just had this message from a military scammer and thought I would warn everyone to be on the lookout for him.
https://www.facebook.com/ryan.hawkins99
My full name is General of the Army Ryan Hawkins, I am An American National working in Kabul, Afghanistan but will be going back to my country in same months from now.
I am a American Citizen and also a member of British soldier and right now I am leading a troop in Afghanistan, I am serving in the military of the 2nd Infantry Division in Kabul, Afghanistan, I Love meeting people, reading, traveling too!!And also sharing ideas.
I am caring, loving, adoring, passionate, compassionate, affectionate, cheerful, faithful, loyal, truthful, honest, God fearing, good heart, trustworthy and trusting.
I lost my wife 6 years ago and my wife has a child for me before her death.
So nice to have you as my new friend and pray that the almighty God will help we have a mutual friendship.
As you can tell nothing makes sense . I've never heard of an American being a British solider before and he's grasp of the English language is defiantly not up to the standards of a so called general.

Also I had this one try and contact a few months ago but ignored it at the time. Now from reading on here I noticed its one of the miller scammers using the name David Jame now . https://www.facebook.com/david.jame.773776

Subject: BEAUTIFUL

Hey Beautiful, I just wanted to do something simple to say I love you and to put that smile. I love so much back on your face. I want everyone to know how much you mean to me. Ever since you have entered my life, I've been flying on Cloud 9 and I have not came down yet.
I tell you this everyday, but you are the most beautiful person I know, inside and out and I see that more clearly with each passing day. I love everything about you, about us. You do something to me that no other has, you have made me so happy the happiest I've ever been. You give me the most amazing feelings inside the feeling of being in love with you.
I still don't know what I did to be so lucky to have you in my life, my dream come true... I am so thankful though. In this short time that we've been together, we have grown so much and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us. I love you xxx with all my heart and soul, always and forever!

Love always,

Jackson

Hi, my name is Michael Chris. I'm a 54 year-old Scottish male, currently in Newyork, Scotland. I last logged in on 3rd Mar 2012 and I have 17 friends around the world.
Hello am Raymond and you.....???I have been a widower for 6 years now and i am having one son who is 13 years and i came to the Meetic which happens to be a dating site to look for someone that i can continue the life with no matter how the distance is because distance doesn't matter when love finds itself and i believe distance is just a mile and it can be closed within a twinkle of an eye by two hearts that have accepted to be together...
Talking about my self,I love friends and family, I am a fun person and make friends easily. I love life, love my family and still have some love to share with a special lady. Life can be lonely without someone...Well can you add me on MSN so that we can chat there am [email protected]
