Hello!

This is xxxxxxxxx and I am from the Philippines.

I actually have the same situation as this. My story is like this. This happened just this January 2016 until now, Feb 17, 2016. I met this Sgt. Sinclair Bistrow on a dating site a month ago. He said he was deployed in Afghanistan. But now he went back to the US. He asked me to help him file for his VOCATIONAL leave and even sent me a memo from the us armed forces secretary with the logo and form number. He asked me to pay $150 dollars for the pass (much lower than the money i have read from other victims). Unfortunately, and stupid of me I sent $100 to someone named EUGENE VICTOR HAGEMANNA based in Texas having the contact number +12146758230. I only sent $100 because he said, his friend lent him $50. After sending the money, he asked me to write the request letter to this address: [email protected]. After sending the request this morning, I got a reply in the evening stating the flight details of Sgt. Bistrow. But the e-mail is ungrammatical and has a lot of typo errors. I told him about this and he said he'll be needing another $180 as a show money. He even showed me a check amounting to $350,000 as his leave bonus.

Can I ask for the help from the admin or Sir Ralph to check on this Sgt. Sinclair Bistrow?
I only have his two contact numbers that he used to contact me.
+15185434740 - this is the number he is using now that he is in the USA
+2349058058959 - this is what he used when he was in Afghan...

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Best regards,

xxxxxxx

He is a scammer. Legitimate soldiers do not need random people on the Internet to pay for them. Also, the email addresses you quote are not official military ones.

Just delete his mails and do not respond to him any further. He has no interest in you as a person, just in what he can steal from 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.

+2349058058959 - this is what he used when he was in Afghan...
looks more like a Nigerian number to me

234 = country code Nigeria
905 = cell phone provider Globacom, Nigeria
is the phone number you provided correct
generally ther should be 8 digits after the 905 <<< 8058959 (7 only)


phone number 214-675-8230
Service Provider AT&T Mobility
Line Type Mobile
Location Carrollton, TX 75051


does the scammer use pictures already posted here?

Hi, same case as mine. Same name used. He is using this number +002349058058959
Nigerian. He said to send $350... hahaha via western union to his lawyer and send the copy of the receipt to the same email. It's ok to chat but when it comes to sending money, that's a hint you got scammed. Better when they are the ones to send you money without being asked... friend's fb post: "Don't use men to get it, get it yourself."
