Information on romance scams and scammers.
by Scamavenger Wed Sep 02, 2015 9:11 am
I was communicating with someone named Hardy Posey for 2 weeks, claiming to be a US military soldier based in Afghanistan. He writes very well and convincing - obviously well versed in US culture ...but was totally amused when I saw similar romantic passages on this site published.

I am a highly educated and well travelled professional. Yet I could be duped to believing the scammer because he had a pic of himself wearing arm uniform with a badge "Posey". Thankfully, I am still level headed to wake up when my intuition warned me something wasn't right. I stopped all communication and was none scathed. The only damage I did was sending him a photo (which is fine as he could have gotten pics from facebook etc) I hope by sharing all the email messages will help others (when they search)- to expose these skunk of the earth and predators - who can quote scripture and use God's name in vain.

It is a long post ...but I want to share EVERYTHING and hope the lies published will help save someone from falling into the traps of these scums.

Message 1:
"...I was born in the US but my dad was from Greece. Have you been to Greece before? It a lovely city to be. You seems like an idea woman for me who Enjoy adventures and lots of travelling. I love going on holidays to different countries and and getting to know more and have more knowledge .
The way you express yourself is so sweet and i keep thinking about what the future might have for us if we could give ourselves a trial . Well i believe love is magical and it can be found anywhere, so far you know what you are looking for; you will definitely get it. So my dear, what we both need now is to focus, so that we will be able to learn from each other.."


Message 2:

I enjoyed every bit of your message and i am so glad you are so free with me to tell me so much about you . I am so blessed to have someone like you who is so straight forward and sincere.
Below are my answers.
Likes: I like honesty, truthful, because trust is a vital phenomenon. I like people with intelligence and a good sense of humor.
Dislikes: Liars, Games, I hate pretense and i feel trust should be the foundation of any good relationship.
Favorite food: Mexican, Chinese, Sea food, Spaghetti and home made chicken noodles.
Favorite Music: RnB, Rock, Gospel and little Hip-Hop
Favorite Movies: I like action, thriller, comedy and romance movie
Favorite Color: Purple & Sky blue.
For fun: I Listen to music, workout, movies, go have dinner, and enjoy friend's.
Experience on here: I have not meet anyone Yet, as i am new to this, the bad experience is, they only want to talk about sex, and want register to some site.
I believe in asking you questions but i feel i should answer them first before asking:
If i could relate my self to an animal: It would be definitely be a loyal dog. I can be gentle and cuddly as a dog, Caring and very protective.
My idea of a dream date: I'd pick you up to go to dinner, Someplace like Chilis or Applebees. Then we could take a walk through a park. I always think of the small parks they have in the historic district in Savannah, GA. Then we could drive out to the beach and sit in the soft sand and I could hold you in my arms as we watch the tide go out under the moonlight.
I know woman appreciate a man makes them feel special and loved. How would i make the love of my life feel special and loved?
Hmm making time for romantic things to say to my love will rank me one of the sweetest guys in the world and makes her feel special. "I always think about you" Nothing can be sweeter and more romantic when you tell someone you’re thinking of them. Talk about romance overload. When someone tells me the same thing, isn’t it overwhelming and makes me feel all warm and good inside? So i make it a point to tell my woman she’s on your mind.
"You make me very happy". Making my love happy also makes me happy, doesn’t it? I will take time to let my love know she does. She will definitely marvel with the thought that she’s a part of my life and contributes to my happiness. It’s always fulfilling to please someone so i will let her know she makes me feel special as well.
"You are very beautiful". Telling my woman she is beautiful is one of the greatest weaknesses, nothing can make a woman blush more than telling her she's pretty, or sexy or beautiful. woman value their appearance highly and will take extra time to look good for me so the least i can do is compliment her about it.
I believe when there is commitment and trust a long distance relationship can be fruitful . I am a God fearing man and want the best in life with someone who can be focus on how tomorrow will be better than today. I am open to relocation . I believe where there is will there will always be a way.
I could live anywhere in the world so far i know that i am in the right direction with the right woman. We could just give this a trial and start from here and see where this will lead us to because i am positive minded and believe we are looking for the same and have few things in common..."


Message 3: It gets more romantic by the day ...

I am so overwhelm that you always look forward to my replies as i always look forward to yours also. This gives me the rest of mind that we have a strong connection and a loving ways of expression. I am so happy to read your message at this time and it really made my day most especially when you said you are open to relocation also. I believe given the amount of time we have exchange messages and deep things about our personal life i believe a well blessed future can be guarantee for both of us. My plans was to hand in my retirement note when my present deployment is over. I want to love and to be loved. I think i am feeling the fresh breath of you coming into my life. I still have so many things to tell you regarding my life , work and how bless i am with the help of my late father . I think with time i will be able to confide in you and tell you all.
Every time I hear from you it makes me happy, since we started communicating on here. I think of you and smile SO BIG. I felt a great impulsion on me and ever since then i have been thinking about you, i thought you might be an end to my search or to say a realization of my dreams because you are just what i am looking for and you know when i keep reading from you, i feel that is coming to be true and i pray and hope it does.
4 years after i lost my wife, i dreamed of that one person that I would share my dreams, happiness and energy with. I could not see her face but she was there. I always felt like she was out there, I just needed to feel her. I visualized the bond we would have and the courage she would give me to endure life's obstacles. All these years I have felt alone and sad. Then one day my eyes opened and I became a little boy again... realizing that she is here now. Here in my world was the woman that I had dreamed of and I'd hoped would not miss our meeting in life. I will do anything to make her stay. that woman could be you.
I knew from the start that there was something special about you. Our conversation has given me a lot of dreams, and now I feel hope. You entered my thoughts and magically erased all of my fears with your sweet and caring ways of expression . Now I look forward to each day and feel so much at ease with you. I'm so grateful that we're able to share our personal information and aspirations with each other. It truly seems as if you're a part of me, as if our time together was a melding of souls.
I don't know why i felt like writing more, well i think its based on one reason. -It can mean that we have a connection, which I think exists.
I have decided to build my relationship on some key words LOVE TRUST FAITH HONESTY and DEDICATION.. Those are the key words to a relationship and lastly COMMUNICATION which is a strong factor."
Do you believe in love? Yes, I still believe that love is out there somewhere. Given that God has made someone for us all. That one special person for us to spend the rest of our natural life with.

Message 5: It gets more and more authentic...

"First and foremost there is so much I want to tell you, a lot has been running through my head lately. I'm having trouble putting my thoughts into words so you will have to bare with me through this.I keep thinking about the future, about life, and what I want out of it. I keep thinking about us and what this relationship means to me. I keep thinking about these things and I realize they go hand in hand. This relationship is my future; it's what I want out of life.
My parents are believers and i became christian with the path my parent lead me through and i believe Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Bible - Hebrews 11:1 and besides there are three things that remain - faith, hope, and love - and the greatest of these is love. 1st Corinthians 13:13 and two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work. If one falls down, his friend can help him or her up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? The one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 .
My son is 10 and he"s name is Frank. Yes i have a picture of myself and him . I have one kid already and it will be a collection decision between us if we would want more kids or not . I was born on 31st Of July 1968 .
I visualise spending the next 10 years of my life to grow old with you. I want to experience this crazy love forever and ever, and I really think I'm going to get to. I want us to walk through new houses picking the one that would be just right for us. I want to see you walk around our house in a big t-shirt with your hair down and catch me staring at how gorgeous you are. I want you to pull the covers off me at night and then I have to get even closer, if it's possible, to you to keep warm. I want to see you laugh like crazy at me when I do stupid stuff. I want to rub lotion all over your body because you laid out in the sun too long. I want to hold you when you cry and smile with you when you smile. I want to fall asleep every night with you in my arms. I want you to fall asleep on my chest listening to the beat of my heart and know it beats for you I want you to be the first thing I see when I wake up and the last thing I see when I go to sleep. I want to see your bad morning hair; I think it will be so cute.
My dream is to sit on the beach with you and watch the sun set, and I want all the people who pass us to envy the love that we obviously have for each other.I want to see you walk down that isle and I want to take your hand for the rest of my life. I want to spend all night,and maybe the next day, making love to you with an undying passion (sorry to be so blunt). I want to sit there talking to you for hours about nothing at all but in the same time everything or maybe we won't talk at all and just grin at each other realizing how lucky we are. I want you to get mad at me for doing something stupid, and I want you to bust out laughing when you try to yell at me. I want to lay with you in front of a fireplace and keep the heat going long after the fire goes out. I want to take trips with you to places we've never been and experience them together. I want us to go skinny-dipping in a hotel pool and get caught and streak back to our hotel room waking everyone up because we're laughing so hard.
I want us to go and pick out the hot tub we want with the biggest grins on our faces the whole time. I want our friends to come over and get totally jealous because they don't share a love like we do. I want to be walking into a store with you and trip and fall on my face and turn around to see you rolling on the ground laughing at me. I want us to run outside in the rain and act like total kids getting completely soaked, and when we come back in stripping down to nothing as we stumble into the bedroom, or the kitchen counter, or the balcony, or the dining room table, or an office desk, or the shower, which ever one we feel like at the time. I want it to take your breath away every time I say, "I love you" because you know it's coming from the heart. I want us to sit down with a box of strawberries, a bottle of chocolate syrup, and athing of mint chocolate ice cream;
well, I'll let your imagination finish that one. I want to love you and be with you for at least forever if not a little longer. I couldn't really express in words what I'm feeling right now so I decided to share with you SOME of the images and thoughts that have been running through my head. I just want you to know that I had never found someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with until I met you. I really am crazy about you, everything about you!
The typical prayer i have been saying to God is to protect me from this deadly land and to provide me with the bone of my bones and the flesh of my flesh. Someone that will be till forever.


Message 6: He starts to make you think he will meet with you..
It seems like we've been together for so long that I think I've known you forever. I feel the nearness of you even though I know we are apart. I feel your touch knowing we haven't been around together. I feel your breath knowing we haven't kissed. I have all these feelings because I am connected to you not physically but mentally and wholeheartedly despite the fact we are still friends. I have you in my heart since the day we started talking. I could feel my heart beating fast every time I see your messages for me and your outpouring of simplicity and sincerity just enveloping with passions and emotions and I cannot help but shed a tear or two for all the wonderful things you say my writing which feeds me with joy. I am looking forward to all those and we'll see to it that we do most, if not all.

I want to hold your hands to entangle it with mine and tell you we'll be holding our hands tightly together for us to be stronger and face whatever there is to face in our future. I want to carress your face and look into your eyes to tell you that we will be honest and loyal to each other while others will envy us. I want to feel our hearts beating like one because our love will be one until the last breath we take knowing our love will never end. I would like to feel your strong body knowing I will share it because you want me to and because our love will know no bound. Yes, I would do anything for you because you arise in me all the burried passion I have neglected over the years of being lonely....and being alone. You and I will communicate and not let our anger get into our lives. We will laugh more and argue less. We will walk on the beach and see the waves break. We will eat ice cream with one cone for us to share. And yes.....we will share and keep our love together......FOREVER.

Love and friendship is what I feel with you, it is not just that we could be lovers, we are also friends, and that is what will make our relationship much better. When there comes a time when you feel that things can't get any worse, think of me, for I can try my best to bring you all the happiness in the world. I want to grow to love someone like you more and more everyday. Sometimes I would like to think my love for you is like a great dream, I don't want to wake up because I don't want to lose that love. I will be by your side whenever you need me and I hope I am and always will be in your heart and in your dreams forever.

I am expecting my leave form tomorrow from the head quarters . I along with me it comes in so as to come to Singapore first before moving to the state


Message 8:..Where scammer makes a start to set up for asking for you to "save" him because he wants to go home and now he cannot.

Hello,
i will like to let you know that i have made up my mind towards you and you are someone i want and no how you will face rejection from me because we"ve got a perfect start and continuing to maintain what God has bless us with is what should be our concern. Am bless with you and i always thank God for that. All i want from you is commitment and i believe seeing each other should be a way forward in our life .

I believe you should be happy towards that . But right now i don"t know if that will be possible for now because I just came back from the leave department now.The leave form is finally out,leave were given to 38 officers and the rest are to stay in the base till further notice.Some will be redeployed to another country like Syria etc.

I have not been given my own leave form because my situation is a total different one and that makes me feel so sad at the moment. It was a sad news because the processing involved before i can have my leave granted is a tedious one.

I went to see the closest Boss i have around me in the base,i'm not sure if i have told you about someone called Col. Hutchins . I explained everything to him and he made me understand that its a difficult one but he is willing to assist me in making sure i'm granted my leave at the right time.He looked into the whole situation and he made it known to me that an extension letter has been served from the NATO Base that my leave due date has been extended due to some certain reasons which he is still looking into.He even told me the UN did not state when my next leave should be granted. I have to let you know i have shed tears today because of this sudden change and sad news.But i was a little bit happy when he told me he is going to help me out.He made it known to me that he cannot help me without having a direct contact and explanation with either my girlfriend or family member. At this juncture i think you are the only one who can stand for me because my kid is just too small in age to go through that and my mom is old.Thank God i have told my boss about you before and i even told him last night that i am coming to you first.. . Honey i really need your support at this moment,i cant go through all of this alone But i need to ask you that are you ready to support me,are you willing to go in contact with my boss so that all of this can work out for me.I dont want to stay on this base anymore,all my thoughts,my body and soul are now home,i cant even think of seeing myself spending another extra month here. I'm so sad right now.I awaits your response I love you with all of my heart."


Message 7 : He introduces his closest boss Col Hutchins..who writes as convincingly..
From: Leon Hutchinson < [email protected] >
Subject: RE: Re Hardy Posey

How are you? I am willing to help your man . He is an amazing man with great talent. Let me explain the issues on ground to you. It known to me that the military admin decided to extend his deployment because they realized he"s very good in his field and there is no other officer on the base who could be put in replace of him if he go on leave at the moment. His MOS is a very special one and it takes a lot of skillful idea to work there. The only thing i can do is to contact the recruitment officer in the state ordering them to deploy a soldier who is as skillful as he is ,and who also went through a proper training like he did.

The only way the United State can grant his leave now is only if he can take care of the cost of his processing down to Afghanistan here because he is reserved in the state. If you are willing to do this then you should be planning a processing fee .This fee will enable the United State Army officials to arrange for his liberty pass card from his regiment and also a short time approval of active duty as well as his DD 214 papers in the state and put him on the military jet.

Meanwhile you will have to contact the Military Admin also in due time. The reason why i choose to discuss this with a relative of Sgt Posey was that it involves dedication and money and no returning of officers on camp has access to there account. I decided not to discuss this with him because i don"t want him to loose concentration and losing concentration in a country and period like this are dangerous for someone like him. "
