I think I am being scammed... I have been chatting to a "Lt. Thomas Edwards" at Camp Victory in Iraq... He has asked me to apply for leave as his spouse, and tell them we want to plan our wedding here in Australia.. I emailed [email protected] and they sent me a leave request form via email... It was issued my a General Thomas W, Krick, yet the name under the signature says General Thomas W. Kricks... The grammer on the correspondance is terrible, i think the US Army would have programmes for poor spelling and grammar.. LOL
I signed the form and sent it back, next thing another form arrived asking for my personal details and that I will be required to pay a deposit for him to travel to Australia... I have not sent this
form back..

Can you please inform me if this is a scam...

Welcome to Scamwarners.
There is no doubt that you are being scammed, I'm afraid. We have more information about this particular scam here viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6527
Please ignore further emails from him, although he may be persistent. Can you quote his email address please so that Google can find it.

Arnold,
Thank you for your fast response... His email address is: [email protected]

I have kept everything he has sent me, including the "official" US Defense Forms and photos of a soldier in a US Military uniform...

Thanks.
It's better not to add your name to your posts. Normally a first name is no problem, but if the scammer googles on his email address and arrives here, it may be enough to identify you to him.
