I am so happy that i found this site in time. So thx alot for making this home page.
I have been typing to a us soilder for some time now, to make a long story short.
He want to get on leave before his tour was done, and i say yes to help him.
Then i got a mail from his commander. Will post it here now.

It has come to our attention that Sgt. Peter Wallgren would like to proceed on leave and that you would be responsible for his getting home and his expenses out of here. We would like to know your relationship with him and would also like to know if you are aware of his intentions to go on leave. He stands a great chance of being allowed to proceed on leave given that some soldiers would be leaving base on the 10th year anniversary of the 9/11 act of terror on the United States. On this day we remember our fallen men that have payed the ultimate price in making the world a safer place.

Greetings Enigma. Thankyou for posting the info because others conducting a search in future will easily find the report. If you conduct a site search on military scams, the results will amaze you. The scammers story is fake because it is up to the serving member to organize the leave and no-one else.
Very happy to hear you did not lose any of your money. Well done.
