I need to know if I am being scammed or not because I recently started talking to a guy who says he works for the united army and at present he is in Nigeria doing work, we have both said that we would like to see each other he has asked me for money twice and he said to do it via moneygram he gave me the details etc for it, he says he is due to finish and be back in the uk at the end of may has he says he lives in Scotland and has a daughter which he as sent me pics of her to me, but he said for me to contact the united army via email and ask them for a form for leave to the uk and he said that it would be sent via email and that I would give that to him when he comes here to see me so I contacted the army and they replied back saying they need me to send them £800 so then they can send me the form I think I am being scammed but not entirely sure please help thank you

This is a scam. No army asks for money to be sent by MoneyGram. Please post the emails he sent you, especially the first ones, which are script, and the request for money. Include both the From and the Reply-To addresses and any other identifiers (telephone numbers, web addresses) that victims of the scammer may search for.

He is definitely a scammer. There are no US military in Nigeria and the military never communicate with outsiders.

The best thing to do is totally block the scammer and stop responding to him. Do not accuse him of being a scammer as he will just deny it.

Please can you also post all the email addresses that the scammer uses, links to his profiles on Facebook or whereever you met him and examples of the emails he has sent (particularly any asking for money).
