US Army Leave scam - [email protected]

Hi All,
I have some discussion with one guy, who is using name of Garry Dean Alberto. He contacted me on FB. It was clear from the beginning that he is a scammer. He told that he is working for US Army for 19 years, currently in Aphganistan, close to pension. He has one son, Brady who is in US in school, 15 years old and he is widow. He is from San Francisco. He has sent me pictures as well, I have saved them if you need that (of course some handsome american guy with nice smile).
He tried to ask money several time, I had rejected his requests and I gave an opportunity to step out from this story, but he was not enough clever to do it. He behave as he would be a real person. So, I have played a game with him and his final request was to ask for him an immediate leave request from Admin Dept in order to be with me and get married (unbelievable!) because he fall in love in me (hahaha). I went trough the entire correspondence, because I would like to have all information regards to them.
So, I had to file the request to this email address which is fake: [email protected] :
UNITED STATE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department overview:
Formed September 18, 1947; 70 years ago
(as National Military Establishment)
Headquarters: The Pentagon
Arlington County, Virginia, US
Department executives:
James Mattis, Secretary.
Patrick M. Shanahan, Deputy Secretary.
In the first email they have sent 10 points as a conditions, what I have to specifically accept. In the second letter they wrote what kind of travelling option could be choosen for my 'Fiancee'.
And in the 3rd letter they have sent the payment details, where they are expecting my payment.
Now I stopped here and I just want to share all information to be available for others as well:
Here the final answer what I received yesterday:

Thanks for posting. As you realised, it's a scam. [email protected] is a free email address and not an official US Military one and the military never pay for leave, it is earned just like any other employee would accumulate leave.

The best thing to do is totally block this fake soldier and stop responding. Don't accuse him of being a scammer, as he will just deny it. Just disappear and leave him wondering what went wrong.

Please also post the fake soldier's email address etc as other victims may be searching for them.

Thank you for your answer. Yes, I forget to provide his email: [email protected]

Hi, I need some urgent help.
In my post I have mentioned this guy. Now he return and threaten me that he will blackmailing me and urgently I have to pay 1000 USD and pay his airplain ticket usd 5.200. He treathen me that he will send photos and emails to my employer and contact and share my certain photos in FB and contact my close relatives. He is very pushy and I am really scarry now. I do not know what shall I do. Where and whom I am able to report that? I want to stop him forever. and yes, you are right, I was stupid. I know, I would not have to share with him any photo but at the beginning I was really blind and foolish. Please help me!! Thank you

Just ignore him and report it to your local police.

If you had done as I suggested and totally blocked him, he wouldn't be able to threaten you - because you continue to interact with him, he now thinks he can blackmail you - sending photos to your friends and employers gains him nothing as all he really cares about is stealing your money.
