Hello Jayjay17,
You are in contact with a scammer. A real soldier does not pay for his vacation or transportation home. I am sorry to say but everything that he told you was a lie to steal money from you.
Stop all communications with this criminal without saying another word to him. Block or ignore all emails and telephone calls.
Please post a copy of the email asking for the money to be sent to Alaska. Be sure to remove your personal information before posting.
If you have any additional questions please ask.

It is ALWAYS a scam
If the pet seller or shipper asks for money to be sent via Western Union, Money Gram, any brand of gift card. Walmart To Walmart , Zelle , PayPal friends and family option, or mentions Cameroon

What is the exact URL of the website that he told you to go to?

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.

citihomelbnk.com is not a real Citibank website, it was set up by the scammer as part of the scam, so that he can show victims that his money exists. The fake domain was registered in August last year by someone using a privacy service to hide their identity.

As requested, please post a copy of the email asking for the money to be sent to Alaska - that account is being used by the scammer to steal from other victims and we would like to report it to the relevant authorities to stop the scammer. The account also possibly belongs to another scam victim who is being used by the scammer to launder money.

What was the email address?

Do not send money (especially Western Union Money Gram) to a stranger on the Internet! It's a scam! No matter the reason! Don't trust them!

DO NOT tell a scammer his information is posted here or you know he is a fraud
