Emails explaining replacement and retirement benefit charges
Greetings General Caldwell,

Thus far, this is what both you and XXXXXX have informed me. XXXXX is challenged with the IRS tax for his retirement benefits which is approximately $9000.00. I am to secure $8000.00,and have the sum ready for wire transfer from my checking account. I was told of your generous assistance of $1000.00, to XXXXXX. We greatly appreciate your kind support.

XXXXXX mentioned that I should expect from you, form documents to be emailed or mailed to me for signature regarding XXXXXX benefits. One of the correspondence is the Army's receipt of $5250.00, as levies
for the new Trainer replacement, transit of (rank, name) and other
administrative charges per the document signed by Sgt. Major of the Army, Raymond F. Chandler III, on June 14, 2011.

Fr. Gen William Caldwell
Good day to you Ms.
I am so glad you wrote me because I am a bit worried about XXXXX. XXXXXtold me you were not willing to give your bank details for the deposit of his benefits when he asked you so I made him fill the form himself and send it over to the States. I believe so much in XXXXXX and that is why I have given my personal funds in contribution. I must let you know something today- XXXXX was the one that brought me into Christ and ever since then I have known peace at work and back home and even
in my heart too. Please proceed with the payment to the same name you sent it to. For both of our sakes no bank transfers please. I believe you understand.
My regards to the children.
Make sure you take good care of my XXXXXXX very well. He deserve to be happy and I know you are the right woman for him because it shows in him.

Dear M.s XXXXX
How are you and the children, XXXXXXhas told me a lot about you and i don't wish to attach personal communication because of means by which XXXXXX is leaving Camp.
Your receipt will be sent to you shortly,just a bit of delay.I advised your husband to finish every processes involved in his retirement over here using my position to get it approved and along with all his retirement benefits. If they are not claimed now it will take another 60 months or 5 years before it can be claimed.I want XXXXX to be happy and i will risk my position to do everything tomake it possible. I am sure he has told you about me and our relationship,please bear in mind that your are loved by a man full of honor.
I do hope you understand and if there is anything you need to know please don't hesitate to write me.
Please bear in mind that all communications are confidential and that is why i chose not to write you through the Military Email.

OkCupid interview

Your mind is your true age...Why am I one of a Kind??? Ok, first of all thanks for stopping by. Here is a 1% description of me...LOL I'll do my best... I'm pretty outgoing and love to have a good time.I'm extremely passionate about what I do and what I want in life. I know where I'm headed and what it takes to get there. I'm very honest and trustworthy, integrity is not just a word,it's a lifestyle.I am a strong minded person who stands by his convictions.I have a great sense of humor; love to make people laugh, even when a girl is in a bad mood. Hey at least I'm honest about it (wink).I love being affectionate (very important). I have the ability to let go of my inhibitions and expose my true passions in private.I can be very wild yet seem reserved to those who don't truly know me. I'm the type who never stops growing and helps others grow with me. Life is a none stop learning experience. I'm confident and self assured but not****. I'm pretty open minded.I've been through quite a lot.I've traveled half the world and speak four languages. I truly enjoy people from all backgrounds...and I never judge a book by its cover. I love music, who doesn't LOL. I play the piano whenever I get a chance. Do you play any instruments? I'm pretty much your outdoor type of guy, who rather rides a bike on the beach, then sit at home and watch sports. I truly enjoy the finer things in life, makes life very enjoyable.Give me an additional 1000 pages and I might be able to describe 10% of me...LOL.Best way to find out who I am is to ask me anything you like, I'll be a 100 % honest like always... I'm sure I'll have no problem to WOW you...,At 45, to 46 years old. For fun, I'm up for anything. It's not the place, it's usually the company that makes it a fun time.I do love eating at places with a view. Orange Hill Restaurant and the Chart House in Dana Point, are just a couple of my favorite places to eat.Walk on the beach explore some tide pools, maybe even find a sand dollar and stick around for the sunset. However, none of the above is truly fun unless you can share it with that special person,ambitious,art,attractive,being worldly,bubble baths,cheerful,compassionate,confident,creative ,design,education,good teeth,horse back riding on the beach,independent,intelligence,kayaking,kissing,laughing,Libra lips ,loyal,real,reliable,sex,shopping,sincere,smart,smiling,style,success,sushi sweet,traveling,versatile,youthful,i will be looking forward to learn and to know more about you

IF YOU JUST STOPPED BY TO CHECK OUT MY PICTURES, BE POLITE AND SAY HELLO!!!!!!

Thank you for this detailed report! This will help other ladies who are targeted by this criminal.

I noticed that you wrote Denise Chard and Denis Chard - is this a typing error or did the scammer give you two names?

Katherine,

I was contacted by the real soldier and he said his email and photos were hacked and being use in many dating websites. He was scammed also by a woman 2 yrs ago who ruined him, after giving specific details of his life to her. The scammer(s) must once again be using the same information for more victims.

I understand it makes sense to edit the posting to protect the innocent real persons. And to help others who may be targeted as the scenario is still being used today. As stated, all branches of the military have published warnings of increased use of photos and emails of military personnel in all ranks both living and deceased.

Yes, there is an article of a victim in Wayne Township NJ, with the same name, details and same email used for the real soldier.

My heartfelt apologies to the true military and civilian parties who are also victims of such evil. I pray we can all be courageous in healing our lives, protect ourselves from emotional and financial abuse and realize that we did nothing wrong to deserve this. No one and nothing can hurt or shame us further because we seek the truth and can prove who we are. God's love, mercy and justice will triumph over this evil in due time.

Can that bank account be checked to see whom it belongs to? I searched the routing number and it's Bank of America. If it's being used for fraud, shouldn't it be shut down? They are very strict about opening a bank account now. It has to match your Social Security number and the name on your tax returns and they also verify your driver's license and/or your passport.

I was contacted by the real soldier and he said his email and photos were hacked and being use in many dating websites.

No that's rubbish, sorry. You are being duped by the same person who now pretends to be the real soldier.

FACT - No soldier is ever going to be talking to someone via email from the middle of Afghanistan. It's a WAR ZONE, and they cannot do that !

Break off contact, he's not genuine and all the moron wants is your money. He is likely to be an African, probably a Nigerian.

Don't waste your time, cut him off now before you get sucked in too deep.

I agree with Mac Ramses. The scammer is playing games with you pretending to have been scammerd. Some scammers put a bit of work into their back story.

I don't understand how the "real" soldier who had been scammed would know to contact you. I would wager money that if you can check the Headers and IP you will find that the emails are from the sam location.

You have done well to warn through our site. Your best course of action is to cease all contact with this scam group. They are playing you for a fool hoping to make you a victim. I am glad you came here to ScamWarners.
