Army from Afghanistan

It is the first time in my life, it is really a scam!

I really need someone to look for who is Sgt. Gerry Gilsenan and Hana Abrahem Mohamed and the two others people that get my money through Western Union name Hamwara Gabreil Asheih and Natline Attay Gabreil. I insure 100% that now they are in Egypt cos they still asking me to send them money to Egypt last night. I really need cooperation from the authority in Egypt to look for the 4 people above. They should have arrested someday soon. I hope their contact information would help us some clues to look for them.
Follow are the contact information:
Email address: [email protected]/ [email protected]
Tell: +201502272966 (roamed number)
(This the information i contact the lady name Hana Abrahem Mohamed)

Pleased be informed that the number still reach to call and again at 3pm today time in Cambodia and about 10am time in Egypt, today i promised to send money with $2500 to the name Natline Attay Gabreil, address: Cairo, Egypt, so i insure 100% that they are in Egypt now. If possible i really need cooperation from the police in Egypt to look for the persons when they go to get the money.

Email: [email protected]/[email protected] (This mails i used to contact this guy)

I'm clear now that he is not an American Army according to the scam above, yet i think he is a man from any part of Egypt. I really curious where is from exactly from part of the world, and also which country they originate from. We can't let these people to cause such a scam to any more people around the world. People should have checked earlier before believing somebody. I hope scamwarners could help us to reach more information about those guys and get them arrest soon. I think the Western Unoin in Cairo, Egypt can look for help of the identity card of the suspect that went to my get money with totally $18,000.00. Follow are the name people of people, time, date and amount that i transferred the money to:

Anyway, even we can't get those people get caught, then other people won't get tricked as me. Also, i insure with the number +201502272966. I think now they still in Egypt because the number still reach to call. Please look for more information from the Western Union through the information above i have sent. I hope they would be a clue for us. Help!!!!

Thank you Chheoun. I am sorry you have been scammed. The Mods will ask you to remove your personal details from the post. It will help if we have the headers for mails.
Sadly you won't get anything back from the scammers and asking the police to do anything is a waste of time since it isn't involving millions of dollars. From the language used in the scam mail it appears that the scammer comes from Nigeria and only one person is involved in the scam, it pretends to be other people to convince you all is real.
This is a typical 419 advance fee fraud. I am afraid there never was any money and nothing to collect. The lies would be heaped on lies and at each turn another probem and another fee to pay.
The next scam that will possibly arise is an email from someone who will tell you that the criminals are arrested and that they can get your money back in return for another fee. This is a recovery scam. It will be from barristers, fake police, fake government organisations, the FBI and others/ It will all be another lie to get your money. Never send money over internet by Western Union or Moneygram, TO SOMEONE YOU DO NOT KNOW IN PERSON AND HAVE NEVER ACTUALLY MET.

So even we can find where they from, can't we report those scams to their government or INTERPOL to looking for those guys? I'm sure that my scam not only a man alone but within his group because i used to talk on phone to different three people, two men and a lady. Or, we only scam here with nothing to do? Then many more people will say the same things....it is scam or else again and again with this kind of people..... Can't we do anything with dose guys? or will bad guys can do whatever and we always the victims in here? Who will leaking out and find a way for this deal?

Hello,
Thank you for the reply.I met this supposed to be Colonel Michael Stephen Cole in Skype.He told me,he is a Canadian Colonel based in Afghanistan now and would soon finish his tour of duty after 3 months.He was courting me and we became friends and communicate only on skype because he told he cannot use email because enemies can track their activities in email,I never suspected that he is a scammer.He was very nice,and kind.Just a week ago,he told me he has some money to be transferred to me because he wanted to settle in the Philippines after retiring and he wanted to buy a house.He sent me a document showing the change of ownership of his account in Yorkshire Security Vaults Company,29 Spintex Road,Accra Ghana Tel.# +2332451495584.The money is 1,100,000.00 USD deposited by a certain Terry Hamilton and the account holder is Colonel Michael Stephen Cole.I was shocked and surprised,why would a stranger give me money that much,he said that he trusted me so much that's why he decided to transfer it to me.Then after 2 days, a certain MR. Andrew Meehan from supposed Yorkshire Security Company contacted me through my email address telling me that the money has been transmitted through western union and that I should comply some requirements to get the money,first I have to submit proof of identification both myself and of Colonel Michael Stephen Cole,the deposit slip of the money,and then I should send them 650 USD for the marginal tax due because he said my country doesn't operate in dollars and that should cover the loss..I really don't understand.That was the time I suspected I am talking to a scammer.I told Michael Cole about it and he vehemently denied that he is a scammer.I suspect he is using a fake passport and the documents he sent me were all fictitious.Thank God,I didn't give in to their demands.

Hi there im sure i have been scammed as well..by a man called capt. Fred Smith Szalewich...he told he was a captain in Us army in Afghanistan.. He uses : [email protected] and uses [email protected]
as the mail the victim gets "army email from...He is a typical romance scammer and uses some of the false documents seen here in false documents ...I have lost a lot of money and would warn others against him..

Hello,
Another supposed army general based in Afghanistan named General Robert W. Cone from Texas, USA.I also met him on Skype,we didn't talk often.But all of a sudden after two weeks of being friend on skype,he said he is in a war zone that anything can happen to him,that his tour of duty will end by November of this year but he has one problem.He has with him a box containing money worth 10.5 million USD,whew!and he had no one to there to leave the box,so he decided to ask for help from a UN diplomat named Dr. James Kofi who is going home to Ghana and he will contact me through my email and will let me know when he is coming over to the Philippines to deliver the box to me personally.The following day I received an email stating that he has arrived in Ghana UN office and that he is directed by General Robert W. Cone to deliver immediately the box to me but I am instructed to send 1900 USD to a certain person in Ghana Office through Western Union.I know right away that it is a scam,I told them I am not stupid to send money to a stranger.I am not after your money or whatever and told them in the name of God stop victimizing women using the dating sites.I told him right away,you are a scammer and also the supposed General Robert W. Cone.We should be careful in dealing with these kind of people,never never send money to a stranger,If you meet someone on dating sites,study closely the way he talks,he writes,look for some inconsistencies in his story,be vigilant don't believe everything he will say.I know not all people you meet on dating sites are all scammers,but sad to say it is being penetrated by greedy people.Thank God,I overcome the two scammers..God bless us all..

Again, this evening they called me to ask me to sent them money again to help them in releasing the boxes that they supposed scuffle with $16.2millions, tomorrow i told them to get money again at the Western Union with $2500 that they ask me to send to Cairo, Egypt to release the boxes and her flight ticket. They didn't point out that i found them that is a scam. If possible i really need cooperation from police in Egypt to look for the person who gonna go to get the money on the name of NATLINE ATTAY GABREIL at 3pm time in Cambodia and 10am time in Egypt. Their number and mail still in available. +201502272966 and email: [email protected]/[email protected]/ [email protected]/[email protected]
I wish they could have arrested as the time she go to get the money.

I am sorry Chheoun but it won't work like that. Your scammers are in Nigeria and not Egypt. These transfers can be collected any place in the world. Scammers often do this "place of collection" trick to try to convince victims of the truth of their story when all they really need is the MTCN. No one will arrive to collect any money and in any case collecting money off WU isn't illegal.

Army officers in Afghanistan have no time for writing to women and getting married as a result of it . Neither do they ask for leave away from their blokes. Generals don't work as leave clerks.
Soldiers can carry out money transactions on internet same as anyone else and buy goods, phones etc.
Soldiers don't get blown up or shot and need airfares paying for to get home. In that event, most likely they need funeral expenses except it's already paid for by services, and scammer will not come on line and tell you he is dead, except his "mate " might. They don't go round finding boxes of money or gold bars to send home by some means. (Just wait for all the money and gold found in Gaddafis compound in Tripoli to emerge miraculously, awaiting transfer.)

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me.
My mother has been talking to a man on Yahoo and I think he's scamming her.
His Facebook profile only has 1 friend (my mother) and there's a photo of him and 'his son'.
What worries me most is when I came across a Yahoo log saved to the computer, he was asking for her to set up a 'call unit' for when he's away so he can talk to her via the phone. He asked for ID, landline, address, ect and said it'd be $550 USD. I'm almost certain this is a scam. The only real thing about him is his terrible grammar. I've heard that he's sent her numerous photos, but only did so via email.
Could you please check this out for me? I'm really concerned.
-Cheers.

Hello Anonymous123,

What you describe does not sound good and is typical for a military romance scammer but hard to confirm without seeing any of the email or chat logs. As a general rule you shouldn't send money to anyone you have only meet through the Internet. The fact he is asking for money should send up red flags.

Do you know if she sent the money?

Justin

Hi Anonymous123, The situation you describe sounds concerning to me too. re: talking to a man on Yahoo
Has your mother been talking on the IM or been receiving emails too? If emails have arrived from mentioned person, perhaps look at the email headers. That would determine the origin which would confirm. Also the fact she has been asked for money is a bad sign. Perhaps do an Internet search of the name the subject uses?
In many instances doing an online search will show adverse findings fairly quickly. Situations like this are never easy I'm afraid. Are you able to post more info?

I have been talking with a person who says he is Sgt. James David and that he is in Afghanistan. At first he needed me to send him 200 usd, which I sent. Then he asked me to send him 500 usd to get forms for personal leave, which I sent. Then he asked me to send 1000 usd so that he could come home for six months and I stupidly sent that. He is now asking me to send 500 usd so he can give this to his commander as a gift so that he would let him come home within 3 days. I have gotten wise now and know he's a scammer. I know I have lost that money, but I have learned a valuable lesson. I just wanted to put this information out there so others won't fall into his trap. At first I had to send money grams to the UK and then I was told to send them to Karen Vassuer in Commerce City, Colorado. I googled Karen Vasseur today and she is a 72 year old woman in Commerce City, Colorado. He uses the email address of [email protected]. If I can get some help on how to post the pictures he is using I can post pictures.

Welcome to Scamwarners, Kasi!
I'm really sorry to hear that you've lost money to the scammer using the name Sgt. James David. Thankfully you realized that he is a scammer before you lost a lot more.
Karen Vassuer of Commerce City, Colorado is a name that has been associated with scammers for a few years now. I believe that she's one half of a mother/daughter scammers helpers team . She/they may have been innocently used as mules originally, but there's no way that they don't know that they're working with scammers now.
Kasi, would you please post an email or two from the scammer? Post the one where he asks you to send money to Karen Vassuer in Commerce City, Colorado , with the headers please.
Instructions for finding the headers are in my signature below.

Hello Kasi!
I'm very sorry to hear you were scammed by this scumbag. What he did is exactly what they do. They play on your kindness and affections to steal your money. If you would have not figured it out he would have kept coming up with reasons for you to send money. As you said you learned a lesson as painful as it may have been.
I'm sure you will be more cautious with people you meet on the Internet in the future.
