US army solider asking for me to send money

I think this is a scam. I met this "soldier" on MilitaryCupid.com, Adrian Lopez, email [email protected]

Started out casual for the past 4 months, chatting via hangout, sending emails.

Now he says he needs to leave the war zone and he has worked our a "deal" with his CO.

The CO told him if he could send $1500 that he could be leaving in 2 weeks and not have to come back.

I played along with the game and told Adrian to send me the information. He sent me a picture that had the account information for a Traci Yown, Greenville Federal Credit Union, 142 Tanner Road, Greenville, SC

Credit Union ABA: 253279196
Account number: 011011204295

Of course I have not sent any money!

Is this another type of scam?

You are correct about this being a scam. The account probably belongs to another victim of this scammer.

The best thing to do now is to stop all communications with this scammer without confronting him. Just go silent and let him wonder what went wrong.
