Here's the latest:
Hello Honey,

I did get your beautiful pictures.

I'm always so excited on reading your emails, today I woke up brimming with a smile. You were in my dream yesterday night, we haven't spoke in real life but I know the sound of your voice because we spoke in the dream, held hands, cuddled. I just really wish we could be together at this moment, it's all I want.

There is an issue that has got me worried for some days now and I just thought now, why not share with you, as the saying goes" a problem shared, is a problem half solved"

On the 13th of November,2010 when the Taliban Insurgent attacked Afghanistan main airport, I was privileged to save a boy's life whose father, a wealthy Gold Merchant decided to reward me with 100 Kilo Gold Bar as personal Gift ( market worth of four million US Dollars).

However,I have a challenge which has troubled me for some time now. My camp commandant is Anti Gay and he criticizes me a lot. He will seize the Gold Bar from me if he finds out and in order to avoid this, I plan to ship it ahead of our departure day from the camp as it approaches fast.

I want you to help me receive the GOLD BAR which I plan to ship through a private courier company here. I am willing to share everything(50/50) with you, because when I project my future, everything I see is you.

I will gratefully appreciate your response so I can give you further details.

Stuart


This guy is not even original. He may change his name. But it seems as if his game is the same. Its the exact same scam, word for word as others have posted on here. This is ending now! Believe me when he finds out I'm not participating then I am sure he'll disappear.

MANHUNT

I got this guy too. Goes by Stuart Pearce. Almost fell for it

My Angel,

I am getting your messages, I hope you are getting mine.

With every passing day, my smile brightens up more and more because I know the day I'll be seeing you is closer.

You image is etched in my head and see you every where I go and in all I do.


Now, I have more reason to want to be alive and leave this place. My next mission(lol) is to meet you. I am not sure of what you expect of me but I want to make a promise that I will give you all of my heart. I sometimes find it hard to articulate what and how I feel. I prefer to walk the walk rather than talk the talk

You must be in bed right now, so sleep tight.

Hello honey,

I must admit, your emails have brought resounding pleasure, joy and happiness into my very lonely world. My dreams have become reality although sometimes I begin to worry that this feeling isn't short lasting.

I have had something on my mind for a while now and I feel the urge to let you know because I have never told anyone and I'll be very glad to let it off.

This year, on July 9 there was an assault near Kabul international airport which was thwarted. I was there doing my regular routine patrol before the incident and was opportuned to save a young Taliban, nothing out of the ordinary, just doing my work. Unknowingly his dad was a wealthy Gold Merchant and he rewarded me with 100 Kilos of gold bar, which is worth over 4.5 million dollars. I rejected his offer because I felt I was just doing my job but he insisted.

The challenge for me that has unsettled me for a while now is that my camp commandant is homophobic and misanthropist, which is a general consensus amongst my colleagues. He will confiscate the gold bar if he discovers it, thus I Plan to ship it out before my departure which is approaching.


I want you to assist me in receiving the Gold Bar which I plan to ship through a private Courier company and I want to share the whole of the proceeds with you, I am suggesting we split to two, 50% each. What do you think?




I look forward to your response so I can give you further details.




Stuart

Hello Sweetie,




You don't have to worry, after all this all our troubles will no more.




I want to assure you that we both aren't contravening any laws and every thing is done with due process. I only ask that you enshroud this is confidentiality so as to protect me from my end. I am a military personnel and a result of my status, personal gains shouldn't be my priority. A process of this magnitude should be kept secret until it's successful completion.




All I require from you is the shipping address, name and your phone number to which the courier company will ship the Gold Bar. Once I have these details, I shall proceed first thing tomorrow morning to the courier company to deposit the Gold bar for shipment to you.






I have meet with the Client service manager, Mr. Whaleed Karim who explained to me that it will take 4-7 working days for the package to be delivered. The necessary delivery information shall be provided as soon as the shipping process commence.




I await the Address, name and phone number so I can hand it to the courier company first thing tomorrow morning and deposit the Gold Bar for shipment to you.







Loads of Love!

I got the same thing. What a jerk. He's using [email protected]

This is what I got:

I'm exhilarated you replied my message. I'm a firm believer that great
things can happen via obvious impossibilities.
I'm 34 years old, compassionate, romantic and a quite honest(my
friends tell me that). I dislike pretense and really need one thing;
to build a lasting companionship with you.
I'm quite open minded and never hold bigoted views against others
inclinations. I believe in love and compassion.
You find out these days the world has less of both but more of "self"
and people forget about how the next person feels.

I was born in the UK but moved to Canada with my mom at the
age of eight after my dad passed away.
She didn't really recover from the shock of losing my dad and reeled
into drug use as such she barely noticed me and it led to a lot of
abuse from her male acquaintances on me. She eventually died of a drug
overdose. I was taken to an SOS village where I was taken care of and
brought up. I made up my mind I was going to do something with my life
and not get
caught in the Vicious cycle that people in my circumstance get tangled in.
I joined the the Army and gave my life a solid direction. I feel
fulfilled to be candid with you.

I'm sorry if I appear loquacious, but I thinks it's important you know
me before anything. I will be glad to know about you as well;
Your relationship status, work, career, family, whatever you feel
comfortable to share with me.
I have attached few more of my pictures, I will appreciate same from you.
I will await your message.

This is awful, I've been carrying on a conversation with the same guy, who is calling himself Glen Debany, and using the photographs of a person called Devon Debany on Facebook. The email address he's using is: [email protected]

Most of the messages are the same as the others posted here:

Hi Pangurbin, welcome to scamwarners. It is always hard when you have been chatting or emailing someone and you find out that they are a liar. I know the hurt, the anger, the feeling of why me? They like to find people who are just reaching out for another form of connection and they draw us in. I'm glad you came here and saw the truth about this person, who appears to be starting in again with you. Let us know if we can do anything further to help you.
We get drawn in the by the combination of pictures and words and sometimes it's hard to let go of that too. It can seem so real and I know I had times when I really thought my scammer would just show up and prove everyone wrong. It's hard and I want you to make sure you cut off all communication with this person. If you continue to talk, he will only try to convince you the lie, that he is real. It would only be a matter of time too before he would find a way to ask for money, as that is always the goal. Please take time to disconnect and let this scum go from your life.

Hi Smith Jones,

Thank you for taking the time to write back to me, it really helped make me feel better. I felt really embarrassed and stupid after this incident, it was very nice to hear about other people who had the same thing happen to them! I don't understand how people can do this type of thing and live with themselves!

Thanks,

Chris

Hi,

I have also received these emails. The person now goes by the name Michael Volz. The story is pretty much the same. I have a sceptical nature so I was waiting for the penny to drop. It did today when he told me about his July 9th experience when he saved a young boy and got rewarded for it. I read that then came straight online and found this site. Glad to know I wasn't being paranoid. He found me on the Seed app. His email address now is [email protected].
by Elisez Wed Jul 09, 2014 9:19 pm
Recently I joined a dating site called oh mojo com and I met a Michael Volz he sent me romantic letters and pictures the letters resemble the same as yours and the pictures do not he also stated he was in Afghanistan this is really bad when other people do shitty things like this .....

Now he's Mike Gibson Bruner...

Email: Mike Gibson Bruner <[email protected]>
Emails:
1st one:
"Hello
Apologies for my tardiness, I have been busy with patrol since our last contact. You are aware I am in Kabul right?

A quick insight; As a person in all honesty I'll admit that sometimes I might not be easiest guy to deal with, I'm very sarcastic, dry, and slightly cynical when it comes to view on life. Yet for some odd reason am at heart a nice guy with romantic notions and you might fine me effusive.

I was born in Japan as my Dad worked for General Electric in Tokyo, the only child of my parents. We relocated to California when I was 16 because my dad got a new job offer. It would herald a traumatic set of events that changed the course of my life. He died just a few months into his job in a work related accident and my mom reeled into depression which led to a lot of drug abuse and unstable behaviors. She died of that same year and I would prefer not to discuss the circumstances surrounding her death. I had never been so lonely in my life and also considering the fact that I was never close to extended family. I had to grow up quick and I made up my mind I was going to do something with my life and not get caught up in the Vicious cycle people in my circumstance get tangled in. I joined the the Army and gave my life a solid direction. I feel fulfilled and accomplished, to be candid with you.

So, also worthy of note is that I am also a amateur fighter but not sure if I'd go professional. I just do it as a pastime.

I have attached few more of my pictures, I will appreciate same from you. I will await your message.

Mike

2nd:
"Hi Gamad
Your email brightened up my day. Please bear with me as sometimes I only have very little time to check emails and respond. I would have loved to tell you what I was busy doing but you know the nature of my jobs doesn't allow me speak much of what I do considering the security implications. With that said, I couldn't wait to get a response from you and my face lightened up instantly I saw there was an unread email from you(Would you mind me giving you a special name although I haven't come up with one yet. I'll brood on that).

I'm very glad this is progressing and I must say that I am enshrouded in excitement and anxiety. I am trying to take things in strides and be careful so as not to give the wrong impression about me. No form of communication can match a face to face conversation as emailing back and forth could be cumbersome and laden with misinterpretations, but right now it's the only option I have and I am willing to make out the best of it.

I have had two tours of Afghanistan, the first ended in a tumultuous fashion as I was involved in an IED explosion. I was luck to escape with a back injury but unfortunately I lost two colleagues, very close friends. I came to realization that this was my job and wasn't going to let it unnerve me. I swore to myself that their loss would never be in vain. I got well and voluntarily enlisted for a second tour. That is how loyal and determined I can be and it pretty much transfers to other aspects of my life. I have been involved in only one relationship in my life but we didn't have a lot in common and he cheated a lot. He used my faithfulness and honesty against me. I never cheated for once, not once but he was a serial cheat but I've moved on and need a fresh start.

I have to go now before my superiors show up. I will appreciate prayers from you every night to ensure my safe return. "
