I responded:

Nice try. You are all over the scam list. So many of you steel military pics from innocent men defending our country and try to scam girls. What the hell is wrong with ya'll? You guys are lower than the lowest.

I don't know how to post pics on here, but the pics are on this scam site.

Hi jawpaul, so glad you came here to scamwarners. The main problem now is your ex-wife has a real emotional connection with this guy, which is why she doesn't want to let go. It is really hard, even when you know something is wrong, and I'm sure she wants to believe with all her heart this guy is real. How do I know? I was scammed. I'm an intelligent person, I saw some signs and I still let the guy pull me in and take advantage of our "relationship." If you could get her to come to this page, see the dialogue, it might help.
Just so you know, it may seem crazy she really wants to believe in him. She wants to believe everything he is telling her is true. She wants to believe the person in the pictures is the person communicating with her and that is going to come to her and make her life a wonderful fairy tale. I fell for it. It's very captivating. They make you feel so loved and wanted. I couldn't wait for the day my guy would be at my home and we could start a new life together. Never happened.
If there's anything I can do, let me know. I understand the emotions and the emotional toll when the light bulb goes off and you realize it was all for nothing. Bubble burst.
I want to commend you for being the voice of reason for her. Let us help with that as well if she will let us.

This person only mentioned his sad stories, never acknowledge nor was he sympathetic of the ones shared with him, and he never addressed the recipient by name.

Hello Pretty Lady ,

Good to hear from you, reading your letter is the best part of my day and it brought out the smiles on my face.. Actually I was searching for a friend I recently met at a seminar workshop a while ago, I'm not the one with lots of friends, due to my current location I couldn't keep up the contact.. Unfortunately I couldn't find him, but instead I saw your profile and decided to say hello.. You look incredibly beautiful because I couldn't stop to admire your profile picture... I see your cute little smile, it tells a million beautiful words like the stars..

My name is John martins , Im 49 years old, from California, United State. I'm a top rank US military officer, currently in a peace keeping mission here in Afghanistan. I'm in the US military base in Kabul and I'm the head of a special infantry anti terror squad. I'm a widower, I lost my wife and daughter in a car crash about 4 years ago, my world was crushed and scattered going by the death of my late wife and daughter.. I have a son, he is 19 years old and schooling in Oxford University in London UK.. he is studying medicine and surgery.it will be a pleasure getting to know you more, so please feel free and tell me about yourself..

Cheers !!!

Captain John .

Hello Pretty lady,

First, one of the thrilling aspect of today is getting a message from you. I must confess i felt the chill in my spine..lol. Seeing your letter brought the smiles on my face.. Thanks for the nice warm words, i really do appreciate, losing a wife and a daughter wasn't a sweet experience, It happen in twins fall Idaho the defense HQ gave me a week for the burial rights and all, after the burial i tried to counsel my son, but it seem the days weren't enough, i left and came back here, Bryan my son became worst off.. as an adult it was hard for me to take, but a young boy, he couldn't hold on... he had himself mixed with bad companies, he started doing hard drugs, smoke and drank heavily.. The nanny gets back to me with all those reports, in here i couldn't concentrate and i almost lost my life from this situation.. Apparently he had a bad health experience, this influenced him positively and i thank god for his life now... Let me at this point wish you a happy new year.. I pray the year ushers in a big positive change in your life for all your life experiences, for the good the bad and the ugly you have passed through all these years, this year comes with so much more.. it comes with bigger happiness, a heart full of joy, a love worthy to be cherished, a face filled with the best smile and so much more.. I wish you the best pretty lady, you deserve the best, so keep being the best indeed..In here in the camp, we are restricted on a number of things due to "the war zone" conditions, rules and polices.. we are not allowed to use the internet, phone and other things.. I get access to few internet service because of the special privileges i enjoy as a senior officer.. I will hopefully retire from

the army in about a month or two. I really look forward to living a peaceful civilian life with a special lady i will love adore and cherish.. together we build a loving family in happiness and joy.. I will prefer if we talk through our private emails.. My email is ([email protected])if you have a yahoo, we can also chat as chatting gives us faster and easier way of knowing each other better.. It will be an honor to know you more.So I can add you up and chat with you .

Cheers !!!

John .
