I wouldn't say that all Brits are scammers, or that there aren't any US soldiers who have British roots, but once these romantic GI's start mentioning British or African roots, you should power up your defences. It's usually to cover the one thing they can't hide - their accent, even though their writing gives them away if you read it carefully as they don't write the way you'd expect as a Brit, an American or a soldier.

He doesn't have any friend outside work ? :laugh-s:

Still out there

Using the Name Jeff Hawkins ([email protected]) - same story as told to multiple others on this board

Contacted me via Match.com - user name RainingShower9

Widower, wife died in childbirth, orphan... very convincing

However, I looked closer at the photos he sent and saw Butterfield on his jacket - google search led me here

Didn't get round to asking for money etc. but judging by the other posts on here, he probably will

Take care
