A friend got approached by this person saying they are serving in Afghanistan with NATO. They are pretty good but holes in the story was their undoing. They approached my mate and said they were Australian serving with NATO. Sent me multiple images of a US (Not Australian after saying they were Australian) Service woman. After multiple messages it started to get heavy and then he got the "I want to be with you" then I got the "I can't be with you as I have no leave". Awe, and then he got the, "If he emails the commander and requests the leave I will get it". So He did and bang He got an Auto Reply from UNITED NATION MILITARY AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT ([email protected] Looks very convincing . He then get an email a few days later saying the leave is granted. Now the dead give-away was He had to pay $780 into (get this) into a private bank account. He traced the IP address to Kansas in the USA, the NATO one came from the US as well.
If anyone has an email address or a contact that we can forward all the emails and false documents too for investigation by US Authorities to get these people charged I would appreciate it. To use serving men and women in a love/leave scam is absolutely abhorrent.
