You are correct, it is a scam. A search of the sentence "We are an easy going fun family with a fairly hectic lifestyle!" on Google gives a number of matches, including some other threads here on ScamWarners.

I'm a bit confused. I'm trying to find something out but not sure I'm on the correct page.
Anyway, I read some of the information on here and I want to make sure I understand what is being said...
If a e-mail address is the rank and name of a [email protected] for example, [email protected] it is absolutely a scam? I made up the name, of course.
Thank you.

Welcome to ScamWarners frisky. Yes, those are the kind of email names scammers use. If the email address is a real email address from a soldier, it will end with .mil.

Another thing to remember is that soldiers do not have time to chat. They have duties and do not have access to the internet any time they want. This is especially true if they are deployed. A soldier's first duty is to his / her country and unit. Not romance building.
