Dear All Skype Users,

I have got one friend request with the name of General Michael Barbero. Before accepting him as friend, I check the photos and about him in internet. So I thought it is true. He told me that he is in Afgannistan for peace mission and he has a daughter. His real skype account name is [email protected]. In addition he gave me another yahoo account to contact him as he is so busy to use Skype. That is [email protected] and his photoImage

^^^ Because the person you are talking to is not a US soldier, he is a dumb lazy Internet scammer in somewhere like West Africa or the Far East.

I would advise you to block him on the app and don't respond to him.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
