Ridley Ray Chmielowski - scammer

I have been communicating with "[email protected]" . Meet him on mate 1 and he has already asked for $1200 to take a leave to visit me. My next door neighbor is a police officer and in the military. She let me in on the details of leave time. He wanted to spend 8 weeks, but leaves are only for 30 days. I also received a fake "Request and Authority for Leave" form that had been downloaded from a legitimate site for military personnel and altered. This man claims to be from Bonita, CA, 46 and a widower of 7 years. There has not been a mention of children. He also wanted me to get him a phone so we could talk, at a cost of $487. I have done neither. He claims to be in Baghdad, Iraq at Camp Victory. His emails are very similar to ones that I have been reading on here. He has sent poems and graphically described the many "personal' things he would like to do to and with me. The language and spelling errors are almost humorous. The pictures he sent are of a very attractive man (who I wouldn't mind meeting if he were real) mostly on what looks to be vacation shots. I will not be going back on mate 1. This is the 2nd scammer I have met there and am not looking for number 3.

Please don't be discouraged. I lost count of all the scammers I ran across before I actually meet someone. On our first date the running joke was now you can tell everyone I am a real guy. He had his share of scammers also. That was 3 months ago, and we are still going strong. My new saying is "You have to kiss a few toads to find Prince Charming". Good Luck.

Want to post my info about my romance scam but not sure if right place to do it. Had no answer back from my post or e-mails on other forum.My feelings are so mess up right now just need somebody to talk about this scammer!

SB,

I think everyone believed your other questions were covered.

To post your scammer,

Stay in this forum (Romance Scams).
Start a New Topic.
-Post the name and info "she" is using, as well as "her" early letters (more often, it is a male behind the actual scam). These are likely scripted and have been sent out to dozens of people, if not more, so posting them can be key in helping others. If there were money requests in chat, etc. you can summarize those. Please remove your personal information in email headers, etc.
-Post the photos this scammer is using, after marking them "used by scammer" to prevent re-use. Feel free to ask any questions you would like, and someone can help you if needed.
-The scammer may come along and see the listing--we don't hide things because it's more important to have the information available to other potential victims than it is to prevent the scammer seeing them.
-If you haven't already, cut all contact with the scammer. There is no good and plenty of harm to be done by remaining in contact.
Don't stress too much about the scammer having your info. While they do sometimes reuse victim info, it really isn't all that often, and it's not going to do you any good to stress over a situation that is outside of your control.

Thank you! Eve, i will look it out.
