Help Getting Leave scam
- In this scam the fake soldier will tell you that he would like to meet you but in order to do that he will need to make an application for leave which will require a fee to be paid.
- You will be introduced to other characters played by the scammer, supposedly his superiors or other government officials, who will tell you that fees such as a "replacement officer fee" need to be paid (often by Western Union or Money Gram) to various departments or officials such as Department of Defense or Homeland Security.
- After you pay the fee, the scammer will give you a new reason as to why he can't be with you, requiring you to send even more money to overcome this fictitious obstacle. This cycle will continue as long as the victim is willing to pay.
Important facts to note about Military leave:
- Military leave is not bought. There are never fees to be paid before leave will be granted.
- A visit to a boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancee would not qualify as emergency leave.
- An outside person can not apply for leave for someone in the US military. Only the soldier can apply, through official military channels.
If you are corresponding with someone who claims to be from any branch of the US military, and he asks you to complete ANY military forms, or you are contacted by any "military official" in relation to him/her, it is a scam.
