Thank you for your post beblue245. I am glad you have not been taken in by this scammer. I am overwhelmed by the number of posts to this section I started. The truth is we can't stop scammers and all we can do is make a difference, ensure they are exposed and hope that people at large are educated and aware and begin to look for the reality behind a profile. We are lucky in some ways that we can look wider for someone who may be a partner, and I found my wife due to internet. However all due caution is needed and in part that's why we have these posts even if we know of many other scams. Every scammer email address added is a fight back and so your post here may bring along someone else to add their pennny worth.

I don't know know what members think here, but I have asked Site Admin for a section specialising in this subject. We know the problems and "one size fits all" usually , but we have a very directed attack ongoing. Yes it is romance scam and whatever you can call it, but it seems like a matter in its own right. I am not aiming for SW to be filled with specialist subjects, and SW may move slowly on this. I am just asking the question and it is up to members to consider. IF we should have this matter in its own post and it gets suitably moved by mods is up to them.

I have a question, the picture used by sgt John Albert must have been stolen from the web, i was on match.com and i met this sgt that was stationed in Kuwait and it looks just like him, his name is [email protected], plus i got many more from him with his kids and late wife, i was just wondering where they get the pics from or if its really him.

Scammers take photos from any place they can. Social networking sites are where the photos often come from because people post their photos and don't give a second thought about someone using them as material for a scam.

Photos of family, wife or children can be just as easily stolen. What you will not get from a scammer is any impromptu photos or current situation photos. They cannot do that because they are not the person in the photos you have received.

If you ask for a current photo, they will get angry and say you don't trust them. You shouldn't trust them. They are using other people's photos and trying to get into your bank account using those photos.

Please share the email address you have received messages from, as well as some of the early messages.

Scammers are also unaware of reality in the world. They don't know soldiers or what they do and where.
Very often they will say "peace keeping" when in fact it is fighting between them and other side, eg. Vietnam, Afghanistan.
Here is the current deployment to Kuwait.
“The mission of Kuwait at the beginning, it was a staging area, a [reception, staging, onward movement and integration] station,” the official said. “Now it’s a platform, a final destination, so to speak, for contingency forces that can be used in the [Central Command] theater.”
As of Jan. 5, soldiers from 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, of Fort Hood, Texas, and 1st BCT, 34th Infantry Division, of the Minnesota National Guard were the two primary brigade-sized units deployed to Kuwait. In addition, the 29th Combat Aviation Brigade from the Maryland National Guard also is in Kuwait, moving there after serving as the last CAB in Iraq.
The 1st Cavalry Division brigade moved to Kuwait after serving the first half of its tour in Iraq and will remain in Kuwait until it completes a 12-month deployment this summer.

I expect they quote being in Kuwait for "peace keeping".
Similarly in Iraq "peace keeping". I'll use the phrase "like Scotch mist" here to avoid too much education.
The only unit in Iraq now is the L1 AR Brigade who usually arrive after everyone else has gone.
Real soldiers are not spending time on Internet talking to you. After being up all night on patrols they sleep.
They will be back on duty in 8 hours or less, with SPOTLESSLY CLEAN WEAPONS and uniform. If they have used big weapons they will muck in and clean them too. They may snatch 10 minutes internet time or phone time talking to Mum or Dad, but not talking to you for hours on IM.
In a 12 hour Ops room shift in HQ I could either have a boring time, or find myself driving down a bullet ridden street with Un-Intelligence Ofificer who wants to have a "closer look at things". But as sure as hell I would be on duty 8 hours later. Not to say that we never had a whole lot of fun off duty, but soldiers spend it with each other because that's how it is, and they are the ones who will get you out of a mess.
