More from Afghanistan

Hey, I´m so glad I´ve found this site. A person "named" Sergeant Major Michael Cooper, stationed in Kabul, Bagram aribase for the US Army, contacted me as you can read from his e-mail if I just can find out how to show it here.





Hello "rosalill"
I hope you are fine and I hope everything is okay with you..I just thought of sending you an e-mail to tell you a little bit about myself,my work and my family too
Well, i am Michael Cooper, and i'm 54years, I am 180cm ,,my favorite color is blue or to say sea blue and i eat almost everything but i love Italian foods, especially pepperoni pizza
I was born and raised up in NY,Bronx but i live in North Carolina,Raleigh.. I am in the USA army and I have been in the army for 23 years now, I am in Afghanistan at the moment,I am in charge of operations here, I help in training new officers deployed here and I also help in giving out orders to the junior officers before they leave for night patrols, I do join in night patol sometimes as well,I'm stationed in the bagram airbase-Kabul. I have been here for 8 months now and I will be out of here in one month time,I was married for almost 18years but my ex wife was not faithful to me, so I have been divorced for 5 years now,I have a son, he is 17 years old and he is in the States at the moment, he lives in a boarding school, unfortunately, he does not want to see his mother because my ex was not a very caring mother to him,and talking about family,my life has been full of tragedies, my mother died of cancer and my father died of a terrible heart attack, and i am the only child of my late parents, so the only family I have is my son- he's all i've got, I will resign from the US army after my mission ends here, I won't have anything to do with the US army after my mission ends here and I would like to work for myself after my assignment ends here, I am planning to open a jewelry shop or go into cars but I am not very sure about which one to set up yet- I just want to be out of here first and the see the sort of busines to set up


I joined match.com with the hope of finding someone who will love and make me happy, life is too short to be alone and I do not want to spend the rest of my life on my own, I am ready for a new relationship and I look into the future with hope and would like to create a relationship based on respect, understanding, trust and love. I am seeking a relationship with longevity and not just something will end in just a blink of an eye- I have a lot of love and happiness to offer, I want to love and be loved and I am a person who is very real when it comes to life and its' issues. I am honest,kind caring,affectionate,good sense of humor,easy going,free thinker,trustworthy and respect the lives of other people.....I'm a man that is living life as it comes to me. I don't worry about tomorrow, for it will be here no matter what I do


Although I would consider myself a romantic, I don't believe that life is about the 'grand passion.' In reality it is more about comfortable comrade. I am a really fun person who loves people,loves to laugh, I am very caring,love music, dancing, singing ( in my car) ! Love the church...I am a devoted friend. I like to have fun,I have strong moral values with honesty and integrity being the core of my personality,I am very cool, i respect my dignity and other people's dignity.I'm excited to see new places, meet new people and do new things.I'm not a fighter and I don't argue, life's too short to argue over things,I enjoy going out to dinner, movies, walks,and quiet times. I love nature, enjoy learning, and have a deep respect and love for children. I'm fascinated with the world and different cultures and would enjoy learning more about them....I love to laugh and like being around people with a good sense of humor. I also appreciate people who are quirky- they are usually interesting to be with


I want to meet someone who is kind and enjoyable to be with.I know love takes time and am in no hurry.. I have the rest of my life, that should be enough time,Everybody makes mistakes and I usually give people the benefit of the doubt, but if the same pattern keeps emerging, it's over. I do not want to meet someone who may think that they will take advantage of me or lie to me and cheat on me under false pretenses, what i do hate most are lies,cheats and dishonest people!!


What would one yield if he has all the power in this world and has no love? I think I have spoken enough about my self and what I am looking for so I would like to end it here, I hope to hear from you soon, I would be glad if you could also tell me more about yourself and what you are looking for. Have a nice day


Michael

best regards from rosalill

Just to wanted to let everyone know that a profile with the name John wallace on my yearbook and is johnwallace04 on yahoo messenger is scamming people. He passing himself off as an American soldier telling people they have to put in a leave request for him to some military.com address and if you put an email in they will send you back an email stating that you need to fill out some paperwork and then western union money to a person. I have the conversations but for some reason I can't get them to load. Please stay alert. I didn't send money but I still got used.

LT.COL Robert Nicolas.

hI rosalill. Well done for posting the headers because it shows the first one has been forged.
The second Receved: line shows the host does not exist! Thus all the headers below the second Received: line will be forged too from what I can determine. Because the blu163-w63 host is non-existant, one has to ask why the sender included it.

Welcome to ScamWarners ladylife. Please post up the email addresses you are receiving these emails from. Also post up the headers from the emails. Directions are in the Headers link in my signature.

Scammer do take photos from social networking sites and use names to sound genuine. Posting the email addresses you have received messages from will help others who might be being scammed or are wanting to know if they are being scammed.

Thank you for the information and glad that one of my posts was helpful. I can do more with all this and will send your messsage across to Alan with bank details and links and we can get the bank account shut down.

(ALAN EMAILED WITH ALL DETAILS)

ok need help my mother fell into this scam and has lost over 1300 usd to this john wallace i am verrrry smart when it comes computers is there anyway i can get his ip adress and trace it back to his/her what ever it is computer any info i can get will help she has all documentation recipts and emails from him any help would be good thx

Hello sonnyfreak2468!

I am sorry to tell you there is not much that can be done with the IP and the money is gone. The IP if you can get the real originating IP is just associated with the computer not the person. Often scammers use public Internet cafes so it would not be the actual scammers computer.

The other big problem is getting law enforcement to prosecute. They would have extradite the scammer from West Africa to prosecute. That's not going to happen over a $1300 crime.


You can report the crime here to create awareness but just know little will be done and the money will not be returned. http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx

I hope your mother is no longer in contact with the criminal. Sorry again to hear she was scammed. If any of the scammers information is differant from what has been posted please add it.

Justin

I'm so sorry that it has taken me awhile to get back on here I thought I lost the email with the headers on it but I found it and here it is and a header from "John Wallace"

Hi ladylife!
Interesting that the leave department of the US army send emails from Africa...

Header Analysis Quick Report<br>Originating IP: 41.206.12.32<br>Originating ISP: Mtn Nigeria<br> City: Abuja<br>Country of Origin: Nigeria<br>* For a complete report on this email header goto ipTRACKERonline

I agree. I didn't know until now, thank you but I just thought it weird that the U.S. Government was sending me emails from a .com address that's one of the several things that threw up red flags.

Usa.com looks a bit official but it isn't. It's one of a range offered by a free email provider called mail.com. I don't know who they are aimed at, but scammers find them very useful.

Apparently this is a fairly large scam. 2 sisters were scammed here in Michigan and it made the news tonight...

Apparent military dating scam
6:36 PM, Jan 6, 2012

NEWAYGO COUNTY, Mich. (WZZM)- On Friday, Cindy Rowland was hoping to finally meet the man she hoped would be her future husband. They have never met face to face, but have communicated on-line for months. She said he said he was Sgt. Scott Montoya of the United States Marine Corp.

She learned of him through her sister, Betty Duling of Newaygo County. Duling had met another alleged Marine in Afghanistan through the dating web site benaughty.com. The men told the women they wanted to come back to the states so they could meet in person. The hoped the women would send them $600 for travel expenses. They did that, wiring the money to a woman in Skowhegan, Maine, named Deborah Grover, as directed by the men.

"I'm in love with him - I'll admit that - I mean he's a nice looking guy - he's nice to me on the computer," Rowland said.

The men also requested $1,500 so they could "pay" the Marines who would have to take their duty shifts. The women never sent that money. Friday, they were told the men would be landing in West Michigan, but as of late afternoon, they had yet to arrive.
