Soldier scam or not.

Recently I went on Mate.co and hooked up with a man named named John Marc Banzhaf. He text me saying he is 52 years old and serving in the US army. He says he was in Dumar, Sudan. What red flagged me is he seem to be able to text any time day or night. I began researching and came across this site. Is there any information available on this man

He is a scammer. There are no American soldiers stationed in Sudan. Do not reply to any more of his emails or texts, do not let him know you're on to his scam. Just drop all communication.

Please post the phone number he's using to text you and any email addresses you have for him. This will help warn others who may be searching his information.

Welcome Reeta. If he has sent you any emails, please post them as well removing any of your personal information first. ( generally they are form letters and do not contain personal info, except possibly the dear "x".)

Please read this topic, including the footnotes to learn more about these criminals and how to protect yourself :
