I am just finding out that this "Military" guy is trying to scam me...we have been talking for 3 weeks but it was just 2 days ago he started sending poems, wording was quirky and then he wanted me to request his leave for him stating i was his fiancé...but the paperwork was all wrong and my son is in the military and so are alot of my friends so i knew to ask them. But when his paperwork said I had to PAY for his leave, no i knew it was too good to be true...his name is Sergeant Nick Laird, hopefully if there really is a sergeant by that name he learns he's being used to scam. But i also found his facecagain under a new name on IG as Barna_11_ which just may be the real person. The pics he sent me have him in uniform and i can see a corner of his nametag and it looks like it could be a "B". Sucks for me cuz he's a good lookin man and in the beginning it wasn't about love or money, just talking because my son is in the military, thats why i thought it was real, but now i know and it breaks my heart but i guess better now than later .

I literally can't find anything under the name he is using though. That's why I originally thought it's an old scammer using a new name.
I have pictures that I can upload here, but the thought of sharing someones personal pictures kind of freaks me out (even though I know they weren't "his" to share in the first place.)
