What to do?
My English is very weak, I apologize.
Skype someone turned to me introduced himself as General Antion Tonbreu U.S. Army in Afghanistan, he argued that we can not talk microphone and a camera that they should not.
After he asked for my mail love letters began to run, send photos
Never asked for money just asked my friends' names in business since his argument is going to be free and want to invest in my country.
Hhtctveno monthly throughout the correspondence was very polite and loving, while its front is also opened my Facebook under the name card.
The interesting thing yesterday profile that friends are now changed each day.
.What looks strange is really press to get people to help him in business.
I sent him the names of websites. :D :D :D :D

Hello xxx,

I hope you are doing good now and having a pleasant time now. Thanks for your time and your good communication with me yesterday and i am also impressed to have such kind of communication with you and i can see that we both have met on faith and i am taking this opportunity to tell you something about me as we are both behind the screen trying to know more about each other .

My name is Antion Tanbroy.I was born on 12th December 1964, I entered the Military Air force in the year 1985 as a Bachelor Degree holder in Air force Squadron Levels.I was a former Sergeant Major of the Army in the United States and also i was sworn in as the 13th Sergeant Major of the Army on January 15, 2006. I have commanded the Humanitarian Airdrop and Combat Operations in Iraq and also led the Airdrop of the 134 Airborne Brigade. I am the Deputy Chief of Staff for Plans and Operations here in Afghanistan as my Current assignment.

I have been a widower for 3 years now and i am having one son who is 5 years and his name is David Tanbroy , he is now in American School Foundation where they are taking good care of him for the moment.

I lost my wife in the year 2009 in motor car accident and her name is Helena Tanbroy , I am from Kissimmee Florida USA and my late wife is from Chestertown Maryland USA. I came to the skype which happens to be a general means of our communication here in the military camp, so i decided to look for someone that i can continue my 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 with you in future. Life can be lonely without someone. I am a person who is very real when it comes to life and its' issues. Am honest,kind caring,affectionate,good sense of humor,easy going,free thinker,trustworthy and respect the lives of other people.I'm a man who lives life as it comes to me.

I will like to know more about you and your love life, Love can only stand when the two agreed together because what matters most is a true love. Caring and honesty.

I will stop here until i hear from you very soon. I have attached my pictures with my son for you to view and in your next mail do send me your pictures too.

Thank you very much for your good understanding and i hope to read from you as soon as possible.

Love and kisses,
General Antion Tanbroy
Last time we talked on Skype.
He again asked me about business and I just wrote 419 since I do not hear from him again.

Your suspicions were correct. Those emails were written by an African scammer, not an American soldier.
Only in the world of scammers are there hundreds of boxes of money laying around to just pick up and keep. In reality, if a soldier did find money in a raid (something that has actually only happened once in this war, years ago), it would be turned in to the US military. It would not be burned, and any soldier who tried to keep it would be in serious trouble, and would end up in prison.

He hadn't asked for money yet, but he was about to. His intention was to send the (nonexistent) box of money to you, but it would be stuck in customs, or the "delivery agent" would run into problems, and would contact you, telling you that you have to send money to release the package. Of course in reality, there is no package, and the only money that is supposed to change hands is your money, going to the scammer.

Notice also how he says "your country" instead of actually listing the name of your country. That is because he is sending the same letter to people in different countries, and he doesn't want to have to take the time to change the country name in his letters.

If he contacts you again, ignore him.

Thank you for your answer fastest.
I so hope that the people in his Facebook and Skype are not harmed.
I have his real picture, the only time he agreed to open the camera for a minute, and is very similar to pictures sent. But because of my English (I use Google translation) I can upload them.

Mama...the man in the picture as posted by "ratt84" is a man named John Mageau who is a known victim of picture theft by scammers. He also had his webcam broadcasts copied and these are now used by scammer when chatting "on cam". If the images you saw when he "agreed to open the camera for a minute" were like that picture, then you were seeing copied webcam broadcasts of John Mageau or a similar looking man !

From the webcam of John Mageau

From the webcam of unidentified man who scammers confuse with John Mageau

It's the same image, like the top only with T-shirt.
He sent another picture with a military uniform and looks like the same person.

This is "photoshopped" with John Mageaus head posted on a soldiers picture! John Mageau is not in the military, but a civilian in the USA.
The scammers go to such trouble to back up their fake soldier scam so they can also use his stolen webcam broadcasts to make their scam fantasy story much more realistic!

More photoshopped JM "military"

And more from his webcam!
