Hi, has he sent you a picture yet? I was just wondering because my guys last name is Young and an easy way for us to figure out is to compare pictures.

I met a guy that goes by Nicholas Young from tagged.com says he is 44 deployed in Afghanistan stationed at Ft Drum , Ny. Email he gave is [email protected] . I been trying to find out if he is real or a scammer. He hasnt asked for money as of yet.He insisted we talk on Hangouts because its easier so we been talking that way. He said tonight He wants to talk over the phone and asked if i could afford the charges. I told him i couldnt afford it. I mentioned i seen his name on scam list and he replyed he was aware of the scam artist and that the scam artist has been dealt with. I dont really know if he is real or scam. I wish there was a way to find out that didnt cost money.

Hello Megandspence,
Please post a sample of the emails that you received along with the email address used. This information will help us give you an answer about the person that you are in contact with. If this person is claiming to be a soldier and is using a free email address such as gmail, yahoo, etc. then it is a scam.

I have been contacted by a similar person as well. States his daughter had been electrocuted, he has a 10 year old son named Shakson who lives with his grandma in Santa Fe, NM, that his wife passed away with breast cancer and that he is in the army, stationed over in Lyon, France. He said his name is Ricky T Douglas, but his pictures show a uniform with a last name of Higginbotham. Complete fraud!!!
