lynette.krahn: how awesome it will be once we can be together
sgt.matthewpierre: thats great, i have practically have you in my thought too all evening
lynette.krahn: thats a great feeling. You are constantly on my mind
sgt.matthewpierre: When does your day start tomorrow
sgt.matthewpierre: ?
lynette.krahn: i dont start until 3pm. I will be at a function covering that and then going back to the station to write and edit the story so it is ready for tomorrow morning
sgt.matthewpierre: Oh i see, You seems to have a flexible schedule tomorrow then, My greatest dream is to find someone and be with them before christmas
lynette.krahn: You found me Hun....Its just a matter of meeting in the flesh
sgt.matthewpierre: but the chance are slim right now because it takes a bit of long process to do it, I dont know if you are ready for that after what you have been through in the past
lynette.krahn: I feel like we are already together\
lynette.krahn: Hun....I am ready for it. Whatever it takes. As long as I know we are together thats all I need. Of course it is hard to be apart but what will keep me going is knowing how amazing it will be once we cane physically be together
sgt.matthewpierre: If you are willing, I am also willing baby
lynette.krahn: I am here and more than willing....
sgt.matthewpierre: You will have to contact the leave office and request a leave for me when we are both ready, i am not sure if you are ready for something that huge now because it takes lots of committment
lynette.krahn: Why do I contact the leave office and not you?
sgt.matthewpierre: They are the one in charge of processing leave of absence
lynette.krahn: ok. and why is it not you that does it?
sgt.matthewpierre: It takes a spouse or child to request for a leave for officer on international tour, thats why it is not easy to leave here because the process is a bit complicated
lynette.krahn: I see
lynette.krahn: well just let me know the process and we will Do it
sgt.matthewpierre: We will do it when i think we both trust each other 100%
lynette.krahn: Awesome...
lynette.krahn: Yes I geuss for me I need to know your true intentions. Especially in a case like this.
sgt.matthewpierre: I have only one intention and it is been like that from my first email to you on the dating site
lynette.krahn: This is where building that trust comes In
sgt.matthewpierre: The only thing right now is what you have been through before and it makes me wonder how you will deal with any relationship that money will be involved
lynette.krahn: please explain
sgt.matthewpierre: If i want to get the leave , we will have to pay for the leave processing but my leave allowance and bonus will be send to you as the beneficiary of my leave of absence in case of my death or if any injury occur to me
lynette.krahn: oh ok. So your not asking me for money.
sgt.matthewpierre: lol
sgt.matthewpierre: what if i do, you will run away
lynette.krahn: well, at this point i dont have extra funds available to me..you have to understand that it does sound a bit strange to me
lynette.krahn: I feel that if this is something we want, you would be able to work it out financially on your end and then we go from there. If we truly want this somehow we can make it work. Just because I am unable to participate financially at this point shoulldnt be a deterrant
sgt.matthewpierre: I really just want to get a reaction from you, I have been hurt also and TRUST is huge for me, If you cant trust me , we cant be together and i wont trust you also
lynette.krahn: Its not thta I wouldnt do it. I just am unable to at this point. I am still re-establihing myself
lynette.krahn: Trust is ver huge for me as well
sgt.matthewpierre: It takes a life time to know each other and it sometimes we will disagree to agree, I know what i am asking of you and i will like a bit of committment from your end too. I am not in a rush, I am willing to wait until we both feel secured
lynette.krahn: The connection I feel with you is strong and I wouold hate to lose that over something like this
lynette.krahn: As far as committment, I am in it fully...but realisitcally there are some things I am just unable to do right now. Not that I dont want to but that I cant
sgt.matthewpierre: Its ok Lynette, you are never gonna loose me over money
sgt.matthewpierre: you might if you question my intention or integrity
sgt.matthewpierre: I do always love to put things on the table and talk about it
lynette.krahn: Theres no questioning...
lynette.krahn: I am grateful that you do
lynette.krahn: I am very honest with how I feel
lynette.krahn: So tell me what your day will consist of
sgt.matthewpierre: I have been involve with stop and search and road blocks to search for weapons and ammunition
lynette.krahn: i see...
lynette.krahn: do you have to go out this afternoon?
sgt.matthewpierre: Yes i will still be going out, do you need to sleep now

It's a scam.

In real life, the soldier requests his leave not his wife/girlfriend/some randomw stranger he has met on the Internet. He is also working you up to processing charges for the leave, which he will expect you to pay.

Can you post some of the emails up, including the headers (remove your email details) then we can see where he is really located.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

to me


Hey ,

Are you having a great day today?I hope that you do and ,who knows, maybe my letter would bring you into high spirits today?Thanks for sending me few lines!I'm sergeant Matthew st.Pierre of the 1st Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment but i am currently serving in Afghanistan,I serve in the the us Military.I'm 44years old,6'1 ft.I have got a son who is the source of my inspiration and motivation.He is 13 years old.I'm new to the online dating community.The heart has a million stories and i will be happy if you can be my last and final story.In principle I'm usual.Well,if you must know a little about me.Am ready to settle down with a woman who i will love as my friend and as a wife.I have a degree in weapon and armory from Morgan State University,Baltimore,MD.

There is no one on earth more serious about finding love and successful marriage than i am,and you can count on that.I'm not too religious but i do things the right way and the right time they are suppose to be done.I want a partner who will commit to the relationship for the long haul. I want a woman who wants fidelity and values it as a cornerstone of building a relationship. Women know men want long-term commitment and fidelity, but sometimes misinterpret this desire as neediness. They may think men want the commitment for security reasons, to complete the man or even to own the woman. That so not the issue with me, I want a woman who enjoys what life has to offer. I want a woman who knows how to play, who is not afraid to make a fool of herself, who lives her passions. I want a woman of creative, intellectual, playful substance. My great dream for the future is to find the woman i can marry,who will be my best friend,my lover,and my partner in all life's adventure,at the very least.I want someone to spend all my time with,sharing all the pleasures i've discovered in life,and that's a lot,believe me.I also want someone who is very affectionate,because touching and hugging and caressing are a basic part of my spirit.

I specifically want communication about feelings, needs, wants, hopes, dreams, problems, solutions, and all other things that can make a relationship work. I also want communication about expectations and plans. I would rather put things on the table than sweep them under the rug. I just want a woman who can communicate, listen, and respond.Please tell me more about you, your tastes, likes and dislikes. Also I have a few important questions,can you be rude with men? How has life been treating you without a man?what exactly are you looking for in a man?what are your expectation from me?tell me about your past love life,what you do to earn a living?Well, I have to stop or I will write without ending. Kiss you !see you later. In my next e-mail I will write you more things about myself.Here are some pictures of me for you..

Love is Life,
Matthew.

Talking to this Guy, for 4 weeks.. nothing about money leaving ++ i sent me 4 pics of him self in uniform and they all had his last name on his uniform.. i got a little warning when had 2 Facebook account whit only 40 friends n the other whit only 4.. i had picture of him self that was from the same Guy in uniform. . He would aply for a leave. And he got it, then i needed to go to the UK to sign a war report.. then we would meet.. when i arrived in UK i got this text: :: we didn't know but the senior Sergent in the army told us all that it's the rule and it's standard..
i checked the code of conduct book this morning and i found it there,i was shocked...i never read it before...i have to get the money and collect the cheque before i leave uk cuz that's my 2011 savings they are holding..35k dollars isn't a small amount of money..dont u think so ?
i can't leave it for them,the rules says if a soldier is unable to pay,he wont be able to collect the fund until his next leave the following year... 

He needed 750pounds.. his mom would send him 300, he had 100 him self and now he was along me for 100pounds that would be refonded.. i sad i only could help him whit 70£ ..and he was grateful. .. but the next day i said i couldn't help him at all.. but he was begging. . Pleas pleas. . 70£ isn't much n i was wondering if a scammer actually would use 4 weeks n about 400mail for that amount. .. I'm not in love or anything n he don't get any money from me..
by AlanJones Thu Dec 01, 2011 8:21 pm
The average annual wage in Nigeria was around $640 a couple of years ago.

So £70 from one victim for 4 weeks work is quite a good rate of pay. Bare in mind that the scammer will be working multiple victims ate once, all with the same script and he could be earning quite well.

As Alan said, there is absolutely no doubt this is a scam, and yes, a scammer will play the role this long (sometimes even longer) for an amount of money that is small in UK, but big in Nigeria. But, it's not just that he is willing to accept a small amount of money. He fully intends to get more money from you if you pay.

This is how scammers operate. They invent reason after reason to collect more money from you. They always pretend that you only have to do one more thing, and then everything will be fine, and you will live happily ever after together. In reality, you can't live happily ever after with the person in the photos, as the real person doesn't even know you exist. The scammer will never actually meet you (even though it seems like he will) because it is quite obvious he isn't the person in the photos.

i checked the code of conduct book this morning

I am curious as to where you checked this code of conduct book. The fees are made up--they are NOT part of the real US military. Any "book" that told you the fees were real is fake, and the website containing it will be fake too.. We need to shut down these fake sites before they lead to more broken hearts.

Need to post photos? http://scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=3219

The funny think is that the IP address comes back at Florida Miami. . Not Nigeria. .
by vikiped Fri Dec 02, 2011 3:44 am
He told me that he had read the code of conduct book.. not me..
by vikiped Fri Dec 02, 2011 5:22 am
Ok.. i have now said that he will never get any money from me what so ever.. he said its ok,n he was sorry to have asked me in the first place.. he still want us to hook up n I'm really not into that now that i know his a scam.. but i have one question about checking up his IP address.. it comes up in Miami.. if his in the UK,it would com up there right? I'm just curious. . My IP address comes up that I'm more than 2500km from home..
by AlanJones Fri Dec 02, 2011 5:42 am
Your IP will come up as where ever your ISP is located.

The only different one is if the person is using gmail to send the message as gmail strips out the users IP address and just shows one for Google's location.

If you want to post a header here (minus your personal details, then we'll have a look at it.
