Hi guys.
I'm not actually sure if I'm being scammed or not but the fact i have gut feeling, tells me.i need to check.
I have been speaking to a supposedly US military guy who is based in Afghan and he flits from 2 different camps. Camp Shorabak and Camp Bagram. At Bagram he can get onto Facebook and has an account but with only me as a friend. He says he had to deactivate his other one because of something to do with Taliban so we message on fb. But at shorabak we can't do same because he is a reserve he can't get software for fb!! So we email.
Well he has a small business back home in US and he applied for a project which has now come up, he had to send a quotation which he sent me copy of and they accepted his quote. He is still based in Afghan till June. But what he's saying is that his business account at bank back home has been suspended, and this company needs to transfer funds for equipment to he needs to use. And has he's said he's not allowed to make transactions while deployed that's he's stuck as to what to do. He's asked for my suggestions as in the last 3 months he's asked me to marry him etc etc, as I told him I didn't have any suggestions he said that only one he had was to ask if theycould transfer money to my account, which I told him I didn't have one because I had a feeling this question would come up, I do have one but wasn't telling him that. So in order to check if he was after getting money out of an account of mine, I told him I would open an account and not use it myself but just have it for the project transactions and he was quite happy with that. Now he's never asked me for money or anything. He's told me he can't use a phone at the camp as he's a ICT Sapper engineer and it's cus of security and they can't use Skype cus again he's a reserve in camp and doing a Door Breach Charge Course. He said his wife died in 2008 and he has 8 yrs old son who lives with his grandmother in Dallas. I'm just so confused and have already fallen for him, although I know how stupid that sounds. I'm not sure if this is a scam or not because I don't know the US military rules etc. Please help. I have photos he sent me but don't want to give up his name or them photos till I know for sure.
