US ARMY - REQUEST FOR LEAVE PERMIT

Welcome kaygb5310!

I'm so sorry you have become a victim of a criminal.

I'm haveing a very hard time of letting him go an always go back to him..

He seems to be very good at what he is doing, a perfect manipulator, switching between romancing you and sending you onto guilt trips. And I can see you already realised he is a scammer. It can be hard to let go but you need to be aware that he will only cause you pain and yet more pain.

Please protect yourself against this heartbreak. Block him from your messenger, add all the email addresses he is using to your spam filter, don't accept his phone calls - just disappear. Do not confront him and tell him you found out, he will try to lure you back or to find out what mistakes he made; you don't want him to become a better scammer.

He might try for weeks to get back to you, but eventually he will move on to other victims.

This will be a hard time for you. I do hope you have friends who will be with you and support you through this process.

Best wishes!

EDIT: One more thing: He might have passed on your email address to other scammers who will try to steal even more money from you with different types of scam. Please be careful when you get suspicious emails and come back here any time you need help.

I to have had a greg davies message me on BADOO website,same thing that he is widowed with a son,he wanted to talk to me on the phone and gave me an email address to contact,saying that it would cost some money at first then we could talk for free.when i asked him how much he said it would be £500 he would pay £350 and i would pay £150.i told him i didnt have that sort of cash but he still kept on.I have friends in the army and when i said of other ways i could message him by post he said his unit was different and they didnt get post i told him the next day that the email address he had given me was a spam. He promised that it wasnt and it was a telecom department,i didnt believe a word he said.so when i looked on here to find he has done this before i reported him to the Badoo site as a scammer,ladies becareful of some of the guys on these site they just want OUR MONEY.... be safe

Hi notplayingyourgame glad you were not conned. Please could you post links and email addresses please to warn those who search in future. Thanks.

So glad you guys have this site. I almost got taken in by one of these scammers claiming to be a SGT in Afghanistan wanting to come home to marry me and asking that I request leave. Well i have military family whose had to request leave and i never recalled anyone from our family having to make the request.In addition i began to discover that many of his emails were cut and pasted (automatic scammer flag). when i googled the email he gave me militaryleave_department@consultant.com, this site popped up. Of course he denied everything but when i asked for proof of his identity, somehow we were disconnected from chat! Imagine that! Thanks for looking out for the good guys scam warners!

I contact you a while ago about the possibility of being scammed and just found in my e-mails a couple from dubaipolicenahif@gmail.com, who claim they are FBI office in Dubai and have arrested the person who scammed me.

No idea if these are genuine or not and obviously have not replied to them to yet - what do I do

They are not genuine. Dubai police do not use gmail for police business, ever. And if the FBI were contacting you, the address would come from an official FBI address!

It is nothing more than an attempt to scam you in another way, by getting information and/or cash from you with fake promises of justice.

Just delete the emails and move on.

Thanks Dotti, they also tried to ring me a couple of times and just hung up on them

Thanks again

Another typical recovery scam. Just delete and ignore.

Unfortunately, this just goes to show just how low these scammers routinely sink in an effort to steal from innocent victims.

Just ignore it S. The above example is like a compensation scam whereby it sounds real but it's also a scammer trying to fleece you. Notice the SCAMMED VICTIM REF CODE: 06654 ?
http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/sho ... php?t=8735 has an example with the same type of scam.
The REF CODE is the exact same dating back to the year twenty 07.

Had a feeling all the e-mails got over the last couple of days were more scams, hence why ignored them and the phone calls, but thought would put on here so others are aware, as wouldn't want others to suffer like I did couple of years ago

is this a scam ?
the email address of the "commander" and that of the person i have been talking too via facebook ,both ended in the same numbers
It also ,as you can see thanks me for my message, i never messaged them

Any email/social media contact that mentions the military, fees and Western Union/Moneygram is scam.

The military do not ask random people on the Internet (which is how they would view you) to pay fees for soldiers, it is all done internally within the military - even proper legal wives/husbands are not asked to pay fees on behalf of their serving partners.
