Warning about armymail.com addresses

Hi, I almost sent money to Peter Harrinson he told me he was fixing to go to the front line at Afganistan and I could save him by sending $960.00 to Western Union for a replacement. Thank God I found your site I was actually thinking of sending it. He told me I could pay 200.00$ and he would pay the rest when he gets here. Well that raised my flag because people overseas use the $ in the back. So I got worried and started looking then I saw the address here that is on the leave papers and also saw his Lt. col. Robert Gonazlez name on your site. So what do we about these liars. No one should allowed to disgrace our military they should be prosecuted to the fullest.

has happen to me I'm new here and ny heart is ........made in pieces....Sent leave money glad was not much , but the worst part is the pain one feels inside, I never ever cried so much in my life. This ''thing' i call should not even exist m using soldiers names to get money...I'm devastated......I love a soldier that does NOT REALLY love me because he wa just a photo......so sad from ver_sad.....I'm more than broke hearted......

Thank Goodness this site is available. I happened to stumble across it today and I am happy I did.

First of all Ladies, none of us should be so gullible that we need to believe a man online is in love with us without having met us first.
If you'd met him in person and on the 1st date he proclaimed his love for you , you would have flipped out,,,,right??? We have to use the same common sense online that we use in person.

If he loves you, wants to marry you after a few chats or emails ......RUN
If he wants you to send him or give him money....RUN

We can find plenty of free loaders in person, we sure don't need to meet them online too.

Save your money or give it to a charity but don't send it to these men that are blowing hot air up your shorts and skirts.

basically I think they pray on those of us who have profiles on online dating sites. Lets get real, if we got out from behind our pc's and got out more we'd likely meet a real man. If he is sitting behind a pc all day chatting chance are he has no friends and isn't someone we'd want to meet or be around. So go to the mall, go shopping with your best friend, go out to lunch , dinner , breakfast do something that gets you out there so you can actually meet someone.

Pain is all I have now, I felt as well, and I pray now for the REAL SOLDIER ON THE PHOTO an innocent citizen....And may GOD be with him everywhere he is , I will hang to his photos to survive to this pain so terrible. God bless u , and this persons that are no persons Í have a place for them......or better they don't even deserve a place on this or other planet......I'm sorry to love u stranger soldier on the photo, but my teas are true ones, when one day we met in heaven that day I will forget all the pain.......be brave wherever u might be PHOTO SOLDIER....YOUR ANGEL

Hello to everyone on here. I live in the UK and have been scammed by a person called Mark Boers on the Heartdetectives site!!!! This, according to google, and my experience, is a scam dating website so beware.
I reported Mark Boers to them on numerous occasions, even giving them the police file number I have for him, but to this day he is still on there He is a very manipulative person, got me by sending lots of lovely emails saying how wonderful I was, how he loved me, was going to retire and relocate to England and he also said he was widowed and has a 14 year old son............. He said he was in Afghan on a military peace mission and could not get leave unless it was requested by his wife (who was dead???) or his fiance (which he asked me to say i was to get him leave before xmas) I stupidly fell for is, I had put £20 of credit on his mobile phone (which was an 02 sim card) the number was 07510835343. I rang it when I started to suspect he was not for real and it had a foreign ring tone but he never answered, saying he could not receive calls because of security!!!!!!!!
I had an email from an address [email protected] (which is NOT a real US army email) asking me personal questions, which I answered and emailed back to them.................then came the email saying that I would have to pay £300 for him to get leave???????
So I contacted a friend and he looked on google and told me that it was all a scam!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was really upset at first but then very angry at this man, using a picture of an army officer as bait to scam money from vulnerable women, like me.
When I let him know that I knew he turned nasty calling me a "poor bitch"???????????????????? I deleted him from my emails and contacted the police, who contacted crime stoppers. I spoke with both and because of this they put a press release out in a local paper..................hence yesterday the BBC (an English tv channel) came to my home yesterday and I was filmed for a programme called "Inside Out" which is going to be aired on Monday the 14th Feb (valentives day ironically) I was embarrassed doing this but if it helps people to be made aware of these horrid people (who the police say come from Nigeria) then it will e worth it.
Because I knew what signs to look for after the Mark fiasco I started chatting to another one called Howard A who appeared on my facebook "who is near" site (they pop up everywhere)
So yesterday during filming at my home, luckily he came on line and guess what????? Asked me for £500 to be sent to him through something called g mail?????, I was suppose to go to the post office and send it to an address, the tv guys have taken all the details from my laptop to use to investigate the address.......We got him good and proper for all to see on tv.................wow it made me feel better to scam a scammer
By the was Howard A is aka [email protected] and Mark is [email protected] or [email protected]........................so dont be fooled, these guys are NOT from the US army and apparently the REAL US Army are NOT impressed by these scammers and they want to talk to me??????? So I will keep you all posted.
Thank you for reading.
p.s. I have gone on my "my space" on facebook and looked at the female friends he has and emailed them to let them know he is a scammer. x

Girl I love it. Revenge is best served up cold and my hat goes off to you for doing what you needed to do to stop others from getting hurt. I know you were embarrassed but you aren't alone out there, Thousands of woman and men are getting scammed by these people and hopefully you saved some from going through what many of us have gone through.
I sure wish I could see the broadcast. I live in the US.

Watch for pictures being used of real soldiers but not the ones emailing back and forth. Do afull header view, and copy and past in verify email. It will tell you where it comes from


__________________________
I am reading the above post but can't seem to understand exactly what the poster is telling me - us to do with the photo's. Can someone please explain it better.?

Also I sent off an email to [email protected] so far I haven't received a message that the email is not deliverable.
I am starting to feel like a detective.
I will keep you posted if I receive a email from the real Terry Wood.

dreamangel, you do become a bit of a detective to keep from being scammed.

To post photos look here: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=3219 The instructions are detailed and very clear.

You will probably not hear anything from the real Terry Wood". They are not involved and in most cases if their identity is being used, do not want to be involved and they are frustrated / angry that their information is being used in that way.

Some times the real person is deceased.

It is best to accept that it is a scammer and just drop trying to find the "real" person. Imagine if they are married or deceased how you will feel. Thank you for posting as it will help others too.

You don't understand it because it actually doesn't make any sense.

That user signed up, dropped one post, and then never came back. It is most likely a spammer who intended to come back and edit a link in later.

To add to what Bubbles said, sometimes victims track down the real people, only to end up feeling even worse when the real person responds very negatively to their contact.

I have and want to give details of the '' monster'' who scammed me. He has just called me ......I did not answer , after yesterday cry out my pain till my heart almost stop of so much pain. I talked to many in this site who have helped me a lot. mY THANKS AGAIN.... My english is not good written I know : but his oh please!!!!!! I'm so devastated and angry with myself, and felll so sorry this soldier picture were used wihtout him knowing but to avoid more heart breaking I want to write here all he has said to me and email contacts so I can rest my soul and heart and to be able to move forward and help others. I FEEL so lost.......pain is the problem but I'm glad I can still think and use my brains.....thank you

Regarding the last post comment on my previous post...forgive me as I did not look at your posting name.
Here are my thoughts.

Yes, the soldier could be deceased or he could be married.

In either case I as a family member of the married soldier would want to know what was happening.

Can you imagine your husbands photo being put out all over the internet and bumping into someone one day and they make a remark about this wonderful soldier they met online and the wife says, oh who is he, and dang if it isn't her husband ( alive or deceased). What a devastating blow that would be to the wife. If he is alive can you imagine what would be going through that wifes mind? It could destroy their marriage. If he is should be deceased it could ruin memories that were to be kept and cherished. At that moment there stands a soldiers wife or widow who is thinking her husband was a cheater.

Yes, we are victims. the real soldier is a victim, and now his family is also a victim.

while many of us sit here and cry our hearts and eyes out, for one moment put yourself in the real soldiers families place , imagine the pain, anger, hurt, tears that wife or widow is feeling when she gets the news or when she see's or hears there are photo's of her husband posted on online dating sites.

This issue has tremendous impact on a lot of people not just those of us who have been scamed.

I have given him a rough time about providing me with a AKO. I also have told him if I find him to not be who he claims to be I will hunt him down and beat him. Of course I know its impossible for me to do but I can at least say it.
He says I'm a a civilian so I don't understand how things work...LOL...and I said, what I am is a smart woman with access to information! After that comment he disappeared.
I'd like to catch all the scamers posing as American Soldiers and beat them within a inch of their lives. I have visions of little Dot Headed men sitting around computers day and night in a room praying on woman in America.
The other thought is these toad stools are likely using the money that woman send to finance the war against our troops..... Shame on them.....I saybring our Troops home then Bomb them all and let God sort them out over there.

Thank you for the info you passed on to me. I will gladly send the pic's to you if you want to post them so others can be aware.

~D~

MY REPLY to him.....
Good morning Terry.
It was nice to hear from you via email. I apologize if you feel like I am giving you a rough time but I am so aware that many unscrupulous
individuals out there are using photos of OUR Troops to con and scam American women out of money and items. There is promise of undying love, romance and lots of happiness and in the end those woman are being taken for a ride by lies and deceit.
These individuals use our Patriotism as a means to their personal end and it is so WRONG.
They leave behind a string of broken hearts, broken bank accounts, hurt, tears and much sorrow.
I am doing what I can to make sure that I am protected from this sort of act as well as trying to inform and protect others from these predators that pray on American woman.

The military has informed me that all our soldiers that are deployed are given a military email address that they can use to correspond with family and friends. Only REAL military personnel have these email addresses, no civilian or other entity can acquire one.
I have been instructed on how to reach you via your military email address and I have sent a email to it. When I get a reply from that email then I will know for certain that you are indeed who you claim you are and then this will all be settled and not brought up again and then WE can move forward into a serious relationship. Until I get that reply, unfortunately, I, will have to remain cautious.
While you are in the trenches there, I am in the trenches here fighting for our troops to not have their Identities stolen by con artists that
are sitting in Nigeria or some other place scaming woman out of their money and leaving a trail of tears and broken hearts behind.
Not only are these woman being used and hurt but the REAL soldiers reputation is being hurt along with his family.

So just realize that I am not only protecting myself and other woman and familes but I am also trying my best to protect the real Sgt. Major Terry Wood. If you are indeed him then you will be and should be proud of me and what I am trying to do.

When others set out to deceive, it effects those of us who are true.

Wonder what he will think and do when he reads my reply to him.
I did send a email to [email protected] it has not come back as an unsendable email, address not found, so I will be interested in seeing what happens next with that. Foreigners have a very difficult time with the english language and its easy to spot in there sentence structure and grammar. The usage of the letter "S" seem to be a huge issue as well as "I".

Very Sad- hang in there. Pick yourself up and dust yourself off and then get pissed off about the whole thing. Don't beat yourself up. Get mad and get even by spreading the word about these bums.
I guess the thing that has saved me is that I was very cautious from the beginning, I was not going to let my heart get broken. I was skeptical and it has served me well.
I have been spreading the word on Facebook. I have provided this website link there I have also cautioned my friends to not put photo's of their soldiers on Face book or any other site because these people are stealing our soldiers id and lives.
Protect our troops overseas from those who wish to harm them and their familes. I have declared WAR on these scamers.

Hi dreamangel, to tell you the truth, the scammer (and yes, you are dealing with a scammer) will not care one bit what you write to him. He i9s looking for people he can scam. He is NOT looking for a relationship or even conversation. He wants MONEY.

Scammers are used to people telling them off and cutting them off. They keep after it for the few people who will send them money. By staying in contact with him, you risk a couple of things.
1. You risk educating him and helping him to become a better scammer and thereby taking more money from more people.
2. You risk him saying something that will convince you to send him money which he will use to continue his scamming ways.
3. You are giving people on this site false hope that something can work out with a scammer. The truth is scammers are criminals and con artists. They only want money and they do not care about anyone else.


I also disagree with your assessment regarding looking up the real soldier. We have had victims whose identity has been stolen come by. They plead with members here to stop communicating with them. It only makes it worse for them.

See, once your photos and identity have been put on the internet, there is NOTHING you can do to get them removed. Scammers steal from each other and some times sell identities to be used by other scammers. Contacting the real person does not ease their mind.

The best thing YOU can do is stop communicating with this and every other scammer. Warn your friends and family about scammers. Protect your online information by either not posting it or making it so that only people you know in real life can see your information.

I've been talking/emailing with a guy who is US Army Sgt Jackson Philip his email is [email protected] and I met him on www.Badoo.com a dating website since March 2012! He asked me some questions are you married do you have any kids and I told him no I don't have kids nor I never married. I then asked him the same questions are you married do you have any kids he told me never been married nor don't have any kids. One of his Comrades told him about Badoo the dating site and so he joined it in March same as I did but i was on the site first.. He's never been on any social sites like facebook or any dating website.. Then he asked me lets chat on yahoo messenger so we did that and we started to chat with each other on there and he was so happy and so was I.

Subject: Love you always

When I am with you, I feel alive. You bring to me a happiness that no one else ever could. You bring to me a love I have never known before. I could not imagine what my life would be like without you. You have touched my heart in ways no one could ever comprehend. I love being with you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to tell you that the love I have for you is undying. It is a love that is strong and enduring and will stand the test of time..... I will always look for that day to come for me to kneel in front and ask you to marry me...

Love always,

Jackson

It is best to drop communication when you realize you are dealing with a scammer. They have your personal information and can make life difficult for you if they choose to. All they want is money from you.
