Information on romance scams and scammers.

Dear all,
First of all I have to apologize for my bad English as it is not my mother language.
I'm European. Recently I've been contacted by the person on Tinder who told me was doctor in Miami worked for US Government.
After a while (let's say 10 days after we met he told me that he was traveling to Syria, exactly 17th of October). Than he asked me to help him to get an emergency vacation which was approved but I was asked to pay Eur. 2.250,00 only :) for international traveling stamp for returning officer James Osbourne. Obviously I said I had no money... My biggest problem is that I sent to [email protected] the copy of mine ID as they had requested:
" We are in receipt of your email requesting the emergency vacation of your partner. Please download and fill the attached form below. As soon as you fill it, please send a scanned copy of the completed form and your Identity card back to me for immediate processing.
Yours in service,
Sgt. Maria Gland Beatrice
Release Processing Officer
US Military Europe/Middle East."


Has anyone had a similar experience and whether I am exposed to some risk?
How can I help prevent someone from having the same experience?
I have the photos of this man and all our conversation.
Please suggest me what to do.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Annamaria

Can you post some of the emails you received from the fake soldier? Make sure to remove your personal information before posting. This will help warn others.

PLEASE DO NOT TELL A SCAMMER HE IS REPORTED HERE!

Dear Sir, Madam,

Compliment of the day, I'm writing in respect to my fiance (DR LIAM
ADAM) who is currently serving as a Military Medical Doctor stationed
in Aleppo, Syria.


I want to apply for his short vacation because it's been a very long
time since I have seen him. Your kind understanding is needed as I am
applying and pleading for the vacation because I need to spend some
quality time with him. I would appreciate his presence as soon as
possible.

I would appreciate your prompt reply to my application letter for the
short vacation.

Thank you for your support,
******************************************************************************************

It is ALWAYS a scam
If the pet seller or shipper asks for money to be sent via Western Union, Money Gram, any brand of gift card. Walmart To Walmart , Zelle , PayPal friends and family option, or mentions Cameroon
