David Mills us military

My mother has met a man on google hangouts named David mills he supposely a us military officer based in syria but the weird thing is that he asking her to take power of attorney for him and asking her to take his belongings while he is deployed a courier company that goes by dflexpress delivery company is asking for documents showing that she has power of attorney of him so they can send her the consignment box that is waiting for her and the lawyer named Dennis moore is asking for $1900 to process all the paper work and send it to her in the mail stating she has power of attorney so im not sure what i should do to stop this as my this does not seem right to me

Has anybody else experienced something similar to this situation?

It's a scam and the person she is talking to is not a member of the US Military, but a lazy scammer who earns his living stealing from people online. Any money your mother sends will be going to a useless criminal and will be lost.

You can find more information on military scams here viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6527

If you can post some more details about the soldier (email address, telephone number, Facebook profile etc, websites), the courier company and the fake lawyer, then we can give you more evidence to show your mother that she is being scammed.

[email protected] & [email protected] are both free email addresses. Legitimate businesses would have their own domains and email addresses on those domains, not be using free addresses.

Also, couriers deliver things, they have no interest in things like power of attorney. The sender pays them to deliver the items and they deliver them to the recipient. Only in a scammer's deluded mind are there fees to be paid by the recipient.
