Requesting a link to identify possible fake Army personnel.

A family young family member who is love-locked with a fake Army commander. There was a thread here that referred to a link to check if a military personnel exist. I can't find this guy anywhere in the State he claims to be from. She has seen him on video in a uniform. Apparently, he's in Syria and can't share any identity info what so ever.

Thank you.

A scammer can use the name of a real soldier; the scammer is not a soldier. Please post the messages he sent. We can usually tell whether someone is West African, Eastern European, or American by the way he writes.

Videos can be faked and if he's truly an Army Commander in Syria he wouldn't be on the internet looking for women. Please post emails with personal information removed to help warn others.

Hey and welcome to ScamWarners, Jeh. I don't think a link to check military personnel exists, ever has existed, or will exist, unless you are a commanding officer in the military. It would be be a gross violation of someone's privacy to have such a thing.

However you might be talking about some of the links in this article : viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6527
and possibly this one in particular : http://www.cid.army.mil/documents/Looko ... Scams2.pdf which is a warning from the Army's CID itself. They do ask for information to be sent to them so they can investigate stuff, when things don't seem right.

there is a 99.9% chance your family member is talking to a scammer. there is a real simple way to verify it or not. Have your family member ask for this supposed "army" person's official email address ending in dot mil . if they get an answer like "that is confidential", or some other excuse they are lying flat out. The US encourages people to use the free dot mil addresses they provide for their employees. IF and do mean IF she gets a dot mil address to send an email to, then have her send him an email to him and ask him to respond to her email. then check the complete headers of the email of his reply to see if a geolocation can be obtained.
