There have been a few reports about a slightly new twist on love scams. The scammers claim that they are in the military and tell the potential victim that they need to sign up with a certain telecommunications company in order to communicate. The service generally costs about $800 and uses an email addresses ending in military.com or engineer.com. Company names used are things like Telstat or Telex. One email address for the fake company is [email protected]. Another scam used these email addresses: [email protected] or [email protected]
The premise is that the service is a way to can talk on the phone without per call charges attached. Calls are supposed to be free after the victim completes registration and pays the $800 fee. Of course the fee needs to be sent via Western Union.
