he claimed that he is from US military army and his wife died in one of the deployment has 2 kids one 4 and 7
on a mission to Nigeria to get the kidnap girls free... said he doesn’t have enough food in jungle and his members have no food (he said they didn’t bring enough with them) and the military wouldn’t supply more to them (unbelievable) and one of his member got hurt in an explosion.. the military wouldn’t send help (this is even more unbelievable).

Welcome to Scamwarners krystal1212,

We appreciate your help in identifying scammers. Please post a couple of his initial emails to you and his email address.

His English was good because it was all a copy and paste. If he had wrote longer you would have seen that he had poor grammar.

His script is typical wife dead and and no one to help him but an internet girlfriend.

There are no US Military troops on the grounds in Nigeria looking for the missing girls. The US only sent support personnel to help locate the girls.

The US Military will provide food and medical services to those that are deployed.

Only scammers believe that the US Military will not take care of their Soldiers.

ETA: There is nothing to report. The scammer is using a fake name and stolen pictures. The victim of the stolen pictures is probably aware of the scam. The owner of the pictures is a victim of the scammer also.

Please contacta moferatorstor if you have a question or information about this post.



Please do not tell the scammer he is posted here.

Hello my love,
How are you doing my angel? Never thought I could be so lucky to have someone like you..The heart grows fonder with absence, and the darkly shadows cast, grow weaker with every passing day, but one thing i'm sure of is time will brings us together at last, then i will just to look into your eyes, to see your loving smile, it makes my spirit soar, my love, to make absence worth the while...... I want to start by saying that I miss you, and you have no idea how much I love you. I know you don't need another reminder because I tell you a thousand times a day how much I love you, but I do and that is my only way to show you. I love the way you show me how much you love and care about me, and I know my simple words can never compare....From day one, I knew there was something in you that no other woman had. You are the most AMAZING!!! woman I have ever known. Thinking back to the strange way we met, how we grow so close in just couple of days, and how you have let me to showing me what true love simply means and also realize what true love can do in someone's life, it makes me smile and fall all over for you again. Baby, you make my heart beat faster each time I think of you, and you give me butterflies when you kiss me on here. You are the one I want to hold for the rest of my life. In your arms is where I belong.
You melt me every time you tell me about the future, how you would love to cuddle with me, spend the rest of your life with me, making sweet love to me and making me feel good, hold hands in public, sweet kisses, big lovely hug and how we could show the world the real meaning of being in love with the right person. I wish the people around you see me and accepted us being together, because I don't think I could live a day knowing that you are not in my life. All I want is to give you peace, tranquility, joy and “endless hugs, kisses and cuddles…” Xxxxx, I want all the best for you and that I may give you the best in me, all my love, my devotion to your happiness, my lap to sit on, my hand to hold on to, my comforting embrace and warmest kisses
I want you to know, that from the very depths of my heart, I love you. And I love everything that creates you, from your hair that I wish I could play in more often... to your forehead that I wish I could kiss while you sleep; from your eyes that sparkle when you smile (just for me)... to your nose that I wish I could rub my nose against; from your lips that I just know were made perfectly to fit against mine... to your chin that I would love to place my finger under to pull you close for a kiss; down your neck and to your heart that in my own, I claim as mine, and down past every inch of every part of your existence.
I wish more than anything that you and I could grow together, love together, learn together, and laugh together, forever. I sincerely feel that between the two of us, we have the kind of love that some people never get a chance to experience. I promise to love you as much as I can, as best as I can, and for as long as I can. And no matter what, it's very important to me for you to know that you are an irreplaceable spirit that will always be a part of me. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MY SWEET CHARMING PRINCESS

Garry

^^^Unfortunately, that is of no use to anyone as it is unsearchable. Please copy the text of the email and paste it into a post here so that other victims will find it if they search for parts of the text.

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.

I'm here in Washington state in the U.S. He's paying here now and luckily the red flags started in my mind. He asked to transfer money to me so that I could transfer to a realtor. I actually saw the house for rent so he did some homework and had a local phone number. Before I transferred any of that money to a realtor he changed his story to his team needed food. I know the military never goes without so I said I wouldn't transfer him money. The bank ended up calling saying the funds were fraudulent so it was a good thing I hadn't done anything with it our I would have been responsible for it. Now he's threatening though. I forwarded the email from the bank where they say the money is fraudulent and reported to my local police department. After i sent that to him i haven't heard anything else. They told me to report it to the military as well.

I am sorry you found yourself tangled with a scammer, but very glad you caught on before forwarding any money.

Local police departments often are not very familiar with these crimes. The military does not take reports of these crimes because real soldiers are not involved. These particular crimes are handled by IC3, and you should report it there.

I was advised just to file a report with both from the banks to just get something on record, period. I've taken it to the FBI as well, which made the official report. This scammer doesn't ask for your money. He wants money transferred to you and then wants you to transfer that money which is fraudulent money. You end up being responsible for the fraudulent monies though.
by Dotti Tue Jun 24, 2014 2:19 pm
I'm sorry if I was confusing.

We absolutely do advise reporting to the bank, police, IC3, and depending on the situation, FTC or the postal inspector.

I was specifically referring to the military. The US military has published warnings on these scams, and they don't want reports made directly to them; rather, they will refer you to IC3 and FTC.

I just came across this post looking for Garry Clapsaddle because I started talking to someone 2 days ago that says Garry is his realtor. Apparently he's moving onto other sites and using other names. I found him on datehookup.com and he's using the name Parker Dominion and his email is now [email protected].

He has fed me the same story and all of the same photos; however, I've called him out multiple times on sounding like a scam and foreign when he sends messages. He just says he was raised in Brazil, likely story.

Here is his current email:

There was so much I want to tell you a lot has been running through my head lately. I'm having trouble putting my thoughts into words so you will have to bare with me through this. I keep thinking about the future, about life, and what I want out of it. I keep thinking about us and what this relationship means to me. I keep thinking about these things and I realize they go hand in hand. This relationship is my future; it's what I want out of life. I want to grow old with you.
I want to experience this crazy love forever and ever, and I really think I'm going to get to. I want us to walk through new houses picking the one that would be just right for us. I want to see you walk around our house in a beautiful dress with your hair down and catch me staring at why nreally u love me. I want to pull the covers off you at night and then I have to get even closer, if it's possible, to you to keep warm. I want to see you laugh like crazy at me when I do stupid stuff. I want to rub lotion all over your body because you laid out in the sun too long. I want us to play with grandkids and go through the experiences of parenthood with you. I want to see you and me chasing the little kids around the house, all us laughing our heads off and having fun. I want to hold you when you cry and smile with you when you smile. I want to fall asleep every night with you in my arms. I want to fall asleep on your chest listening to the beat of my heart and
know it beats for you I want you to be the first thing I see when I wake up and the last thing I see when I go to sleep. I want to see your bad morning hair; I think it will be so beautiful. I want to sit on the beach with you and watch the sun set, and I want all the people who pass us to envy the love that we obviously have for each other.
I want to see you walk down that isle and I want to take your hand for the rest of my life.. I want to spend all night, and the next day, making love to you with an undying passion (sorry to be so blunt). I want to cook a meal with you and us totally ruin it and end up doing take out. I want to sit there talking to you for hours about nothing at all but in the same time everything or maybe we won't talk at all and just grin at each other realizing how lucky we are. I want you to get mad at me for doing something stupid, and I want you to bust out laughing when you try to yell at me. I want to lay with you in front of a fireplace and keep the heat going long after the fire goes out. I want to take trips with you to places we've never been and experience them together. I want us to go skinny-dipping in a hotel and get caught and streak back to our hotel room waking everyone up because we're laughing so hard.
I want us to go and pick out the hot tub we want with the biggest grins on our faces the whole time. I want the sales rep to get embarrassed when we sit in them and make sure we have enough room to do the things we want to do. I want to hold your hand. I want our friends to come over and get totally jealous because they don't share a love like we do. I want to be walking into a store with you and trip and fall on my face and turn around to see you rolling on the ground laughing at me. I want us to run outside in the rain and act like total kids getting completely soaked, and when we come back in stripping down to nothing as we stumble into the bedroom, or the kitchen counter, or the balcony, or the dining room table, or, the shower, which ever one we feel like at the time.
I want it to take your breath away every time I say, "I love you" because you know it's coming from the heart. I want us to be sitting there and watching the grandkids take their first steps from my arms into yours. I want us to sit down with a box of strawberries, a bottle of chocolate syrup, and a thing of mint chocolate ice cream; well, I'll let your imagination finish that one. I want to love you and be with you for at least forever. I couldn't really express in words what I'm feeling right now so I decided to share with you SOME of the images and thoughts that have been running through my head. I just want you to know that I had never found someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with until I met you. I am really crazy about you, everything about you. But I guess all this doesn't matter anymore, I just want you to know how much I really cherish you. I hope you have a nice life with whoever you wish to spend the rest of your life with, a happy life sometimes is not just people like us, getting hurt and being disappointed is becoming part of my life.
Love always and forever!

Parker

He's just getting tot he part where he wants me to help me. I got an email from his "agent" about a house he wants to buy and he started talking about not being sure how to handle getting the funds. I work closely with law enforcement, so this hasn't sounded right from the beginning. It's only been 2 days and he thinks he loves me and wants me to move in. Be careful out there ladies!
