Yes trust me I wont say anything and wont contact the Scammers..I blocked the profile and my FB account already but it's still surprise to see another profile with the same name and photo but different detail address at this time. Yeah I saw this profile of this Ken Alvin Madini and its good to know that 'its a fake profile as well.

WOW! thanks for another updates and hope for more to come... I'm really learning a lot through this website.. This Scamers do know also what they are doing because they choose a Soldiers photo who are handsome and good looking but now I learned a lot.
Yeah since I have the idea if in case I encounter again the same story but different names and profile using different photo of soldiers can we still report in here as well?

zsegundo78,

Any time you encounter a new fake soldier, you can post him here. It is best if you start a new topic for each new soldier, as it makes things much easier for victims who are searching for the truth. Just put the name and email the scammer are using in the title of your new topic.

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

Yes I''ll do that.. Thanks a Lot and do update us all the time. Thanks!

Yeah while reading all this post and upon posting my first sentence.. I received this call and he said that he is given me 2 weeks to removed my Facebook profile and delete all my photos or else he will report me and destroy my images and photos to the public because they have my complete name, address and contact details and while listening to what his talking I remember the voice who is the SCUM BUG acting as CAPTAIN KENNY ALVIN MADINI I told him with an angry voice that your Ashame that you still have the guts to ring me but it reminds me that I have to be quite and say nothing and not to confront them...as of this time while posting this my phone ring for 5x times now but i keep ignoring and rejecting the call.
What a silly question but Can also Scammers report the photo and profile of the person they scam with? and what's the best thing to do because they don't stop ringing both my land line and my mobile phone?

They don't always choose pics of handsome soldiers, they also choose pics of soldiers who are DEAD. One reason why they arse so disgusting and gut churning. If you encounter any so called soldier come and ask. We just need email address and profile link and no more, and for me, it unlocks the world. Now don't you pay any attention to a filthy of of crap with serious impotence problems, and let the blackmail and threats bounce off you. This total arse is telling you he's nothing else better to do. Just block your phone to the numbers used and ensure you post them here too. At least one good thing is that all the time he does do this he is not off scamming and you know where he is. You do a great job here so take heart !

Thank you so much and good to hear that even though they will threat me they just can't do anything but like that. Yes it is very very disgusting this Scum bugs are really doing it makes me sick to think even dead soldiers yak...This DISGUSTING SCUM BUG ACTING AS KENNY ALVIN MADINI is still using the same number as posted earlier and still have the guts to ring back what a shame on him. Were smarter this time and they can't just easily out smart us and yes I'll put that in mind all the advice in regards to soldiers life and use my COMMONSENSE for a billion times now and BE AWARE. So yeah every time I'll encounter ill post them here. I'M VERY GLAD AND HAPPY TO SEE AND DISCOVER THIS SITE AS IT HELPS A LOT! Anything I can do to help I'm very much happy to extend my helping hand to COMBAT this SCUM BUGS but just nothing to do just to turn a life of innocent and genuine people upside down. Please LET ME KNOW...

This is not the end yet because I will always visit this Site every time/regularly and TO ALL THE PEOPLE behind this VERY WELL DONE TO ALL YOUR EFFORTS AND HELP...ALL THE BEST AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.. Please kindly update us regularly, Thanks!

When he rings pick the phone up in answer and put it under a cushion or something and ignore it. Say nothing. It's his phone bill. After a while you can replace it. He won't like it and will soon give up.

Oh more names to beware off and many more to come... I hate to think...What are this soldiers doing to their photos scattering around for the this Scammers to easily stolen and use to scam money???? or what and What are the US Army doing can't they not help to Combat this World wide problem of Scam yet Soldier's Stolen photo are the number one contributor of this SCAM.. yes Soldiers are busy as we know and soo many things to do aside from this Scams things but they need also to act not just to send mandate letters or something as many Civilians are not reading those and not aware of it...
Maybe Why not putting a Locked in Database only for checking where everyone can check the names and photos of each soldier and as well as the fallen soldiers photo's so at-least every one will be aware of it....

I share your frustration regarding scammers using military personnel photos. Scammers pick photos off of official military sites too. Scammers pick photos from any place they can find them. Social networking sites are first choice for them.

There is no way that the military machine can stop its personnel and former personnel from posting photos of them on various sites.

It would be interesting to create and maintain the kind of database you suggest. It would be a full time job for several people and it would never be totally up to date. Scammers keep shifting their methods and the names and or photos they use. They are a moving target.

That is the reason we offer so much education. Education is the best tool to fight scammers. The military DOES take steps to educate their people about the tactics of scammers. We also support people who have been victimized by scammers and help them get away from the scammer's trap.

One fact most people do not consider is, once you post something on the internet, it is on the internet forever. It is best if you are going to put photos or information on social networking sites or dating sites, use the strongest privacy settings possible.

Could I just add that Scampolice Group maintains an email database and a scam database. We have quite a few subscribers who can sniff out scammers, get details and text off them and vanish. We only use fresh information not seen before so data from here usually won't appear there, although data from us may also arrive here. I invented the concept of bulk social network searches with email addresses quite a few years back when Google was only being born. RomanceScam went part of the way later on with their small engine http://www.romancescam.com/results.php but what is needed is Open Source coding with customised searches or wider sweeps, and more results from data input. You experts can get busy !
