Information on romance scams and scammers.

Hi,

I have been in contact with supposed military personnel on special assignment in my country. The person said a written permission must be approved by military base before a telephone conversation can take place between us. I sent email to the address given ([email protected]).

Their response confirmed an approval of my request but payment of $60.00 must be made to their representative in my country into a local bank account.

I guess something is wrong here. Please advise

Hello,
This is a scam and no fee is required to speak to a real military person. Please post the full email, including the bank account information, that asked for money to be sent.
Post all email addresses and telephone numbers used in this scam.

It is ALWAYS a scam

Thanks,
The person who wrote the email is African and not a member of the US military. The US military will never use a free email service such as gmail

Stop all contact with these criminals by either blocking or ignoring all emails and telephone calls. Do not tell them that you know it is a scam, just go silent and let them wonder what went wrong.
