Information on romance scams and scammers.

Hello Everybody,

I meet this man on Yearbook.com by the name of Captain Mark Galle, he is supposed to be a Captain in Kabul Afghanistan 3rd Infantry Division. We meet and started talking everything was going well, he had been in the military for 27 years. The conversation went slowly and then one day he stated that he wanted to come home and meet me that is when things got weird. He asked me to contact his Colonel and request a leave for him to come home and while he is home he was going to retire from the army. His Colonel's name is Richard Palazzo and his email address is [email protected], which started a cascade of people an email from [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] sent me forms and asked for $325.00 for processing fees. They asked me to send that money via WesternUnion or MoneyGram to a

Victora Henderson
Vancouver
Washington
USA
98662

Capt. Mark Galle's email address is [email protected]

They stated that after I sent the paperwork in and the officer was confirmed in the US I would be his beneficiary and an additional $73000 would be put in my account for his leave. My family grew up in the Navy so I knew that this was a line of BS cause after the processing fee they would want another $2675 for different fees. Plus Mark stated that when he files for retirment he would get another bonus of over $500,000, LOL.

Anyway, I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on this guy. It is too bad that there are men out there like this and who do you really trust and how do you really meet anyone anymore cause we are all so busy. It seems that the majority of men that I meet online are overseas and then they end up asking for something. You can trust nobody.

Thanks
DakotaTae

This picture is also on plentyoffish.com as "lonelysouljaboy". Emailed back and forth a couple of times via pof.com site, then exchanged emails: [email protected], name is David Morgan. Claims he is a master sergeant stationed in Kuwait, 48 years old, a widow. I got suspicious and started asking questions; he got defensive. Never reached the scam part; after I got suspicious, he stopped responding to my emails.

These people obviously do their homework. I have some sources and have been able to confirm there is a David Morgan in the US Army active duty who joined in Nov of 1982. I have also independently verified that there is a David Morgan stationed in Kuwait. Have not been able to confirm if the picture on pof.com is actually a person named David Morgan; there is a FB page with the same picture but the name associated with it is Collins Armstrong.

If you guys ever have a suspicion about someone, use google's image search. That's how I found this page and the Collins Armstrong FB page.

Welcome to ScamWarners nicscott, it is great you did your research. Scammers don't have to do much of their own research because people who don't realize that their information can and will be stolen by others post too much personal information in the internet.

Scammers are happy to take the information which goes with the photo to go in their script so they don't have to come up with a story and they don't have to pay someone to write the script for them.

Nothing the scammer says is true about themself. It may be true about another pserson, but it is not true about them. Thank you for posting this information and email address.

Hi xxx,
Thanks for your e-mail and i am so glad you got the right e-mail address and am so looking forward to getting to know more about you and what the future holds down for us.

Here is something about me
I have been single for about 5 yrs now after i lost my partner to the cold hands of death . I am new to Online Dating..Would not be doing it if not for my Work Schedule.. I work for the US Army and am presently in Kuwait as i am among the 4000 troops that has been redeployed to stay and train the Iraq,Afghanistan and Kuwait soldier have been doing the Job for years now and it's been very Interesting,Bill Paying and Fun..I barely have the time to go meet someone so i had to come online and try it out..I have heard People met their Partners Online and hopefully it's gonna work for me as well.

I am Looking for Friends first and then maybe something more later. I believe A Good Friendship makes a Good Relationship and that is what I am Looking for. I would not say I am all the good things in the World so I will like U to find out for yourself the Kind of Person I am. I Know my Sense of Humor is good enough to get what I want in a Woman. I have my Flaws and I want someone who will be able to Cope with them.. I easily but hardly get Jealous,That is a Flaw I Know but then I think it is Only Natural to be Jealous cause U don't Jealous what U don't Like.U Only Jealous what U don't want to Loose..I Love Kids and but i don't have any but the most Important thing right now is to find the Love of my Life and start a new Life.I Love Animals,Especially Dogs but do not have any right now as I am always away from Home so I can't take care of them but would surely have a lot of them when I am retired.I Love the Beach.Would Like to Fish everyday if I had the Opportunity.It's a lot of Fun and Love Camping as well.

I am looking for a Woman who is Understanding,Caring and Romantic..A Woman that is Strong,Knows what she want and know how to go about it.A Woman that is Hardworking,who will help me plan for our Life and Future,someone who is always fun to be with,Love to Cuddle and Make Love. I am a very Passionate and Affectionate Person so I would be the wrong Man for U if U don't Like to Kiss,Cuddle,Hold hands and walk in the Neighborhood. Want someone who will be there for me when I need a Shoulder to Lean on,Someone who will cry with me so that my TEARS don't last Long and who will Laugh with me so that it would never end. I am not Looking for someone who is Perfect cause I Know non exists. I am not perfect myself so why would i want someone who is Perfect and then I Know it would be hard to find the Kind of Woman I want on here but then I know I will find her.If God says I will meet her on here then I will and if God says no then I will know after trying for a Long time.

What I Like to do for Fun?. I have been to a lot of Country in my Life,That's one of the Advantages of my Job.I Love to Travel,Love to Play Chess,Golf,Pool and Love to watch Movies.. I am a Romance Fan,I Like to watch Romantic Movies,Love Music as well. What they call the Old Skool songs,80's,70's. Lol. I am a Car Freak.I Love Beautiful Places,Cars and Houses.I would say I Know how to give my Woman Nice Treats. I can remember I took my Ex to this Hotel in Osaka,Japan some years ago.The Hotel was Built in the Middle of a Small Lake so U have to use a Speed Boat to get to the Hotel.It was a very good Experience and she Loved it so much.

I should stop writing now before I Write a Novel.. LOL

I will be waiting to learn more about U soon,
David xx

Hello, all. Being the victim of scammers already, I was immdeiately suspicious of this guy. Says his name is SGT. Andy Joe, squad leader for 20 men in the EOD department, currently stationed in Afganistan. Wanted me to email his commander, whose email address is [email protected] to apply for leave for him to come see me. I did some checking hwen I got the reply, and looked up the Army leave form online. The form I was sent had a green background with a differnet symbol than the army uses in the upper left hand corner. Andy said that the commander can send me any kind of leave form he has; but, commander nicholas rplied with a different person in the header, a Robert Shaw,from the Leave Permit Processing Dept. , NY, United State. For me, the missing "S" was a big red flag, so I started checking online, and came across this site. I started quoting some of the info I found on here, especially the one about leave not being paid for and that nobody can apply for leave for someone else in the service. This set him off, telling me that he loved me and doesn't want my money, I'm his world,blah, blah.
I have saved the email and I do have a picture of the guy from the dating site I met him on, which in Confirio.com. I can send the info if you would like to see it.
Below is a copy ofd the email I received:
