Hi

I also met someone for quite sometime now. he said he is US Army from Camp Leatherneck in Afghanistan. Should I believe in him?

He's been upto to ask me to help him send leave for pay. I said I can't help him. he said he will still love me regardless.

I find it dubious because he has this "COMMUNICATION DEVICE" which has no audio and video for security purposes.

I met this guy from wechat a very strange random way. i Don't know. i Am scared and I am somewhat attached to him already.

Any "soldier" that asks you to pay for leave, communications equipment or anything else or asks you to contact his commanders is a scammer. None of this happens in the real armed forces.

Please post your scammer's email addresses and also examples of the mails that he has sent you.

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.

Too bad i already sent out a sum of $1000 USD in less than a month's time. :? And now this: (below) **can't imagine a shipment would cost me $2000 and more**

~~~
The agent's name "handles" my special delivery is: Christopher Bells [email protected]

Who's last email to me was:

Dear Customer,

Attached to this letter is a flip copy received from the
International Homeland Security in charge of cargo and consignment Clearance.
They have requested that you pay for the Clearance yellow tag to avoid disturbances from other government offices.
The box will be released and delivered to you once the payment is made.
The Management have decided to help you by contributing 400 USD to the said fund.
You are thereby required to pay 1720 USD to complete it.
The payment will be made to our corresponding agent that is handling the fund.

Thanks.

This is different from the "leave" yet. I told the "soldier" that i cannot afford to help already. He said i should not pay.
But after a while he begs to pay for it still. Also, He said either i pay for leave or get his stuff!
I said no and said goodbye. But just won't let go :(


I am still having SMALL hopes.
Coz is has not been asking for anything right now, SO FAR.


Big thanks

He is a scammer and any money you've already sent him is long gone. Do not send anymore money, stop all communication with him and do not tell him you are on to him. Just let him think you've dropped off the face of the planet.

Please post his email address and any emails he has sent you with your personal information removed. This will help warn others who may be searching.

====================================
PLEASE DO NOT TELL A SCAMMER HE IS REPORTED HERE!

When i bugged him about what to do ehen i get his stuff (repeatedly asked of it)

All you need to do when. You get the box is to mail [email protected]
Tell him you are Mrs ______ or mrs _____. That you want your husband free from camp and that you wish for him to process my leave here and make arrangements for me to be you that you will make the necessary payment.


No offical email addresses.
Yeah i will slowly do that. I am so sad. Too good to be true.
