Another "soldier" serving out there. This one was from UK. I asked fo ra mail from his military-address, but he was not able to give me that. Then I told him I didn´t believe he was the person he told me he was. He became a little angry, but who cares....He didn contact me again.

I wonder, do they never get tired of being turned down over and over again? Or do they get hold of so much money, so that keep them hanging on??

Hi rosalill. My own personal thoughts is no. It is unfortunate military type scams seem to be on the increase.
Say for example a scammer sends 100 messages like the one you posted. If they receive 5 responses and each responder sends an amount of money, it becomes a good money spinner for the fraudulant person. For the sake of the exercise lets say each responder sends 200 dollars. Multiply by 5 and that's a tidy profit of a grand for doing nothing. Out of the original 100, there is a low 5% contributing a high income to the scammer. In Africa they often laugh at the authorities because the fraudulant people know they can get away with that behaviour and not be made accountable for such actions.
I wonder what story the scammers will tell at the end of 2011 when the US troops are due to leave Afghanistan? I wonder.
