I was 100% confident that I would never come close to falling for one of these scams again but this guy was so well spoken and was very educated on the U.S. Military and so well versed with the our military operations and on goings over seas, which I am keep very up to date on, that he had me until he began to mention his wealthy family and how they had 3.5 million dollars and he needed my help to get it back to the U.S.
He used the the name of a real person, Sgt Sherri Jo Gallagher, who has videos and a Facebook page and numerous other details that you would expect a legitimate person to have. I will now start referring to him as a she. She was so eloquent with her words and knew just the right things to say and she preyed on my sexuality and ego with a very subtle professional flirting way about her.What got me was the length of time (weeks) setting this up.
It all started on LinkedIn with an interest in my business model and then grew rapidly from there. Here are some videos and correspondence between us. I AM SUCH A SUCKER!!!
This is when it became blatantly obvious what was going on..........SO SO DUMB!!!

Hello My dear,
Thanks for your kind response and as a matter of fact, I am very happy to read your mail, I am Sgt Sherri Jo Gallagher, However, I really want to establish a true relationship that may lead into a business partner or something else. Certainly, This is to bring to your notice, here in the military zone we are not allow to make use of mobile phone, we only make use of radio message and email communication, Now, i have fully made up my mind to go into business partnership with you, as i don't know how long we are to remain in the war zone.
My dear, i want you to know that we are being attacked by insurgents everyday and car bombs, During one of our rescue mission in Libya Northern Africa we came across a safe box that contain huge amount of money that belongs to the revolutionaries, which I believe they use it in buying weapons and ammunition, and it was agreed by all parties in present that the money will be shared among us.
Out of the total fund my share was $3,560,000 (Three Million Five Hundred and Sixty Thousand united states Dollars) I am seeking your assistance to evacuate my share of the money, which is $3,560,000, as much as you can assure me that the consignment will be safe in your care until I complete my service here, This is not stolen money, and there are no dangers involved.
My dear, I have made solid arrangements with a SECURITY COMPANY who promised to deliver the fund to any of my choosing destination, I shall be compensating you with 20% of the total fund on final conclusion of this project, while the rest balance shall be my investment capital in your country, One passionate appeal I will make to you not to discuss this matter to a third party, if you have reasons to reject this offer, please destroy this e-mail to avoid any leakage of this information and it will be dangerous to me based on my position.
I have chosen to contact you after my prayers and I believe that you will not betray my trust nor thwart my dream,Though you may wonder why I am so soon revealing myself to you without formal introduction, well, I will say that my mind convinced me that you are the true person to help me receive and invest the fund.
Note, I do not know how long we are going to remain here and my fate since I have survived two bomb attack here, which prompted me to search out for a reliable and trust worthy person to help me receive and invest the fund in his country, because I will be migrating to your home to invest and start a new life not as a soldier anymore.
Conclusively,i wish you could send me a reply immediately in regards to this proposal,Your urgent reply will be highly appreciated. I hope my explanation is very clear but if you need further clarification,
Wait to hear from you soon.
Best regard.
Sgt Sherri.
