Information on romance scams and scammers.

Just to clarify even further.

NOBODY pays for leave. Leave is earned, like vacation, and there is no charge for it. The moment a "soldier" mentions that a fee has to be paid for leave (or retirement) you can be certain he is a scammer.

ONLY a soldier can request leave (or other things) for himself. The moment a "soldier" asks you to make any request to the military --whether it is for leave, phone, insurance, or anything else--he has already proven himself to be a scammer.

If you wish to change your user name, please send a PM to me with a new user name that isn't already taken, and I will change it for you later.

They prefer to get money by western union and direction to UK London

Hello Wimduang,

Sorry to hear you were targeted by this scammer. Thanks for posting the info it may help someone else avoid the scammer. Although there are scammers in the UK most of these scammers are in West Africa. They may have acomplises in the UK but in reality just because they tell you to send money to the UK does not mean they have to pick it up there. Everything he told you was a lie.

^^One of those names is a joke, probably passed to the scammer by a baiter. I leave it to you to figure out which one. The scammer obviously didn't get the joke, and I don't want to give it to him.

As to scammers appearing to be in the UK, they get phone numbers that look like they're in the UK but actually redirect somewhere else.

I met this guy "sgt andy robinson " skype id adnyrobin202 who contacted me with this long sob story and looking for a relationship. Well it was not long until he started asking me for personal info - never giving anything but one or two word answers- I became suspicious because although his location was Kandahar, his location time indicated Europe . born 8/12/57 - I think he is possibly a fake / scammer using a picture of someone else
beware

Hello
I`m not sure if this is a scam, but I think so.

[email protected]

Hello Again,


Thanks for your message. Sorry I could not write you back before now as I have been busy with work. You come across a really nice person. I must admit I am interested in you and would like to get to know you. Anyway, I think I should tell you more about myself and I hope you will also share some more about yourself. About myself, well I am not used to talking about me but will do my best here to do just that.
I am a Captain in the US Armed Forces(Yes, I am American with Polish roots). I have lived in Norway for about 2 years now as I work with special units. I do have a daughter who is like everything to me right now. She just turned 10 years old and she is such a wonderful girl I must say. I really do love and care for her. My wife passed on about 4 years ago. I am from a very nice background, and my parents were wonderful people and I still get to think about how lucky I was to have my mother look after me while I grew up. I love being myself and I appreciate bluntness. I will hope that you note that. I loving reading, football and swimming. I am not much of the pub type, but will go with the right person. I am not the best of cooks, so I do get to eat out. I know that can always change though. I have been in the Army for a long time now and I am in my last year as I will be retiring soon. Its more the reason I have thought I will have to settle down with the right person again and I hope to find that, if you know what I mean. I eat most foods with little or no restrictions in my diet. I love to stay healthy and Yes I do love life and truly value it. I am looking for someone who will love me for me and accept me for who I am and not just what I have. Physical appearance does very little for me, I am more concerned with the person within, if you know what I mean. I just want someone I can always be around and will not want to leave. Someone whom I can always talk to and who will listen to me and I to her. I seek to find that in you, so kindly let me know what you think.Take care,

He contacted me on a Norwegian website: www.moteplassen.no

About the phone thing you have to write a phone connection to me (Capt. xxx xxxx. E8 Camp Kandahar Afghanistan) request email to the address : [email protected] They will get back to you asking a few questions I think and they will let you know what needs to be done to have the phone registration done.

Before I`m sure this is a scam, I will not put out his name. But if he is scamming me, there will be pictures to :)

Yes it is a typical fake military phone scam. You can publish as much as you like Sorte, and please do for the benefit of others .
lived in Norway for about 2 years now as I work with special units.
Do you really think such a soldier would tell a stranger this ?
I thought he was in Afghanistan and yet tells you he is" just up the road" from you. :=)

John Kacznowski, Capt in the US army special unit. Says he live in Oslo. Have a daughter who is 10. His wife has passed for 4 years ago. He has polish roots. Says he come from Rochester NY. He is 46, and will retire after this period and then stay in Norway.



Have problems with the pictures. Working on it :)

I feel for those who has their pictures used like this.
#137614 by Sorte engel Tue Dec 04, 2012 2:32 pm
There is a lot of US army soldiers in Norway, so I didnt think that was strange. And that he now was out was also ok. But I dont know to much of the american military so I didnt think to much of that. But when he wanted me to pay so we could talk on the phone... NO WAY.
#137626 by began steele Tue Dec 04, 2012 4:15 pm
Any way he is a scammer and we have a lot of phone scammers here. He really would not tell you if he was anything to do with Special Forces, so that is a figment of scammer imagination to try to look good. They do this also to tell anyone with awkward questions that they can't answer due to "security" which is a little stupid because they have a public profile. If you have a profile URL it would help and perhaps a yahoo email address if you still message and can coax it out of him.
