If he's claiming to be in the Army stationed over in Africa and is telling you to request leave for him and pay for his leave he's a scammer. Military never pay for leave, the only person who can request leave is the service member themselves and we have no troops over in Africa.

If this sounds like him, please post his emails (with your information removed).

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

ask him to send you email from his army .mil address. The Gov't encourages personnel to use their Gov't email accounts, so there is nothing wrong with it. If he can not produce a .mil email address, he is 100% fake.

You will need to know how to reveal and read the complete headers of an email to verify it is being sent from a particular domain. It is very easy to fake the "FROM" line in an email address, but other parts of the complete header are very difficult to forge ( not impossible). see the links at the bottom of my post if you don't know how to view the complete headers in your email program.
