To the person who sent it to me: Thank you so much for taking the time to tell us your story! I'm thrilled to hear that the information here was able to save you from losing money. Best of luck to you. :D
Thank you so much for this site...I am so glad I found you...I was taken in by a man Donald Cox alias (Donald Gray Hot mail address) whom contacted me on MySpace...His letters were beautiful and had me walking around in an absolute daze..He told me he had lost his wife about two years ago...he had a son named Philip..and his Dad was in a wheelchair, His dad was taking care of Phillip whilst Donald was on deployment in Iraq...
Donald had said to me...he was going to be deployed to Pakistan...He asked me to write a letter...to Commandant Lt Col Robert G requesting leave...I completed this request and leave was granted to him the following week...This is the email address that he requested that I send it too [email protected] Donald told me...he had to fly to the Us..to access his bank account...as he was tired of being hacked and didn't have internet banking...He would then fly to Australia to be with me 6 weeks and return to the states to be with Phillip for the last week of his leave...and plan for his retirement..he asked me if I could fund the sum of $5,000 Australian dollars...I couldn't do it on my own...so I went to the bank and told them I needed the money for home improvements...The loan was granted on the spot...I was restless and decided to run a Google search on Donald Cox...I thank the lord I found your site...as I was going out tomorrow morning to pay the money to Donald via Western Union transfer...Thank you very much to all the people whom have written in about Donald...as I was to be his next victim...he will get nothing from me thanks to you guys...I am ever so grateful...be very careful people this guy is a smooth talker...and he always uses calles you Babe i guess this is so he doesn't confuse your name with anyone else...
