Says Muslims will not let him thru supposed to be in Cyprus. Thank you tnttotty
I'm sorry, but it is a scam.
1. The US military would never write to Husbands/Wives/family members (let alone Internet pen pals, which is how you would be seen) about soldiers.
2. Soldiers do not have to pay for leave, they earn it through time served and if they have not earned enough leave, can not buy more.
3. The email address
[email protected] is a free email address and US military email addresses would end .mil with nothing after it.
4. If a soldier is on leave and returning to the US, he would not be left to his own devices to do it, the military would transport him back.
I'm afraid that the money you have already sent is gone as the scammer you have been communicating with will have picked it up anonymously.
Please cut off all contact with the scammers, but do not accuse them of being scammers as they will just try to deny it and keep on scamming you. Could you also post some of the early emails that the scammer sent you as these will very likely be scripted and be being sent to many women and also the details of where you were asked to send the money.
