Thankyou for posting the scammers email address. It is unfortunate to witness scammers impersonating military personnal seems to be increasing.

If you have been in contact with a scammer previously, I think they place peoples names and email addresses onto a database or scam list somewhere. I still receive scam emails on the odd occasion being sent to my old email address. But knowing what to look for, it does not cause any problem.

i dont believe it this guy has somehow managed to contacted me again i deleted him this time on messenger i told him to go away and leave me alone he was really nasty to me demanding money saying i was heartless all that stuffand that i lied to him all crap god he really upset me with his words he had me in tears and that takes alot i felt so useless in the end i signed out messenger and found a way to delete him of messenger permentlely to i cnat believe he even contacted me agin waht is a matter with these people they are the heartless ones i was sitting her ein tears and my daughter came in from school and asked me what was wrong i told her she said report him mum he is bad so i ahve reported him to us embassy and a few websites they put you in contact with god i feel so vulnerable agin now he has opene dup old wounds again the scum of the earth i hate them all

Unfortunately, reporting him to the US embassy is not going to do any good. He is right--he is not going to be arrested for being AWOL. He is not a soldier. He is not American and has never been in the US. He is a Nigerian man who simply copied photos of an American soldier and pretended to be him. When you tell him that he is going to be arrested when he returns to the US, he knows that you still believe he is an American soldier. This tells him that you are still believing some of his lies, so he thinks there is still a chance he can get money from you. Every time you answer an email from him, it encourages him to keep trying. If he sends you anything else, DO NOT RESPOND.

If you want to report him, you can report him to the EFCC, which is the Nigerian body responsible for this type of crime.

The good news is that if the scammer is harassing you again, it means he doesn't have "better" victims right now--so he's trying anyone he can think of. If he were successfully stealing from other women right now, he would leave you alone.

But, you shouldn't have to put up with this. I would suggest that you set up your filters to automatically trash any emails with the words "Nigeria", "Abuja", "western union", his name, and any other words that only he uses. It's not difficult to do, and then if he changes email addresses and tries again (that's what a lot of these scammers do) it will help to prevent him from getting through again.

Remember, you have nothing to feel guilty about. He is a lying thief who is trying to manipulate you. The important thing is that you don't let him.

re: I told him to go away.
Whilst that sounds positive, it is far better to ignore them. By continuing dialogue with the scam artist, it gives them a sense of power. By simply ceasing all contact without giving a reason puts the individual on the back foot.
A good thing to remember goldikova is you should not feel guilty. Do not forget that.
Online dating should be a pleasurable experience, but fraudulant people use it for the wrong reasons. And that is not our fault.
It just goes to show how desperate the individual is when it has to resort to intimidation tactics?
Scammers are only interested in a relationship with your money.
Adding to the ideas spoken about by Dotti, maybe construct a new e-mail address and give your current one the flick.
