Last night a guy called Becker Specter replied to a post I'd put on a music facebook page.
His profile said he was a sergeant in the us army with various photos.
He then inboxed me and early into the conversation his profile went down.
He claimed when he came back that Afghan 's were hacking the system so he'd quickly set up another profile with literally 4 photos no friend logs and limited info.

Started asking my hobbies and interests and was very complimentary saying he divorced in 2013 as his wife cheated while in Syria. He has no children .

After an hour of basic chat he said he had to train some recruits so he'd email me later...

The original profile was quite full and looked pretty normal but I Googled the name and a few very similar photos were printed on here with various names.

I've not been asked for money but I'm wondering now what's going to be in this e mail...
I have no cash to send anyway so wasting his time if he does mail me.
Check him out on facebook search.

Screenshots will not help.

Often scammers use the same script on all their potential victims. We need victims to be able to search parts of the script and find your warning. You'll be able to see what was scripted and what was written in his own words.

Is his photo's in this thread?

What is a link to his FB profile?

Please contacta moferatorstor if you have a question or information about this post.
