I googled this guys email address and it brought me here. So i'm posting it.
I feel very sorry for the woman who fell for this man. I hope one day her heart heals and she finds what she is looking for.
The only tip I can give you is do not fall for sweet words until you are absolutely sure the man you are corresponding with is real.
i'm sure and most people would agree, doesn't matter where you are, if you have access to a computer and are posting pictures, then they have access to a webcam... ask them to appear on it.

I took a screen shot of his tagged profile not sure how I can upload it here.
I don't want to give to much info, in case he reads this... But ladies i beileve this guy is definately a scammer. He is an extremely sweet talker, with a sad story, and much of what Nelle said was what he told me.

Welcome Ohno,

I'm a bit confused as to why you are trying to disguise the scammer's address. Posting his email address in an unsearchable format may prevent the scammer from finding the information--but it will also prevent any victims from finding it. That means that the posted information is not going to help anyone avoid being scammed--which is why we post it in the first place.

Most scammers don't actually find their way here by searching--in most cases they are led to our site by a victim who confronts them with the posting. Occasionally a scammer will google himself and find that he is posted--but the number of scammers who find their way here unassisted is much, much smaller than the number of victims who are saved by the information.

Please update your post to show his true email address. Photos/screenshots can be posted using the instructions in my signature. A bit later, I will locate the other topic and merge topics on this scammer into a single topic so that people who find their way here can see all of the available information about this particular scammer.

If you send us the Tagged links we can make a difference for potential victims as I "work" there frequently and help run an effective antiscam group. Don't worry over publishing scammer info or even possibilities of scams. The mods and us all are quick to know what is real and what is fake. We only publish CONFIRMED criminals here

Hello, I'm here for the first time. I found about this page today. 2 months ago I logged on WAYN and started to chat with this guy named Dunne Richard.I'm rally falling for this guy, but yesterday he said in case we ever want to meet I have to apply for his leave....so why would some third person have to be involved in his process of leaving. So I started to read about military procedures and what must be done. He gave me email adress wehre i could aplly. So what if soldier has no one at home to apply for him....it can't be that he must stay in the army forever. So I checked all the forms and read all the procedures and i didn't see nowhere that i had to apply for him. So we started to chat on 6th of august but still feels like someone stole my heart. I feel stupid and hurt. He send me picture of his little room where he sleeps and picutres where there rest of the soldiers sleep and a picture of him in the us uniform and without. Is it even possible to find out who is the real person in the pictures he is sending me? So I'm suppose to talk to him tis evening...don't know actually what I'm gonna say, I will ask him to use a webcam and I will see what he will say. Can I post pictures that he send me?It's sad and I feel sorry for the one who is on the picture that's why I would like to know if i can find out who he is.What do you advise me to do?

Hi ifonlyIknew!
Welcome to Scamwarners!
I'm really sorry to hear that you've been involved with a scammer. The best thing to do now is to just cut off all contact with him. If you could please post any emails that he has sent you, and the address that he's using, that could help another potential victim to learn the truth.
Instructions on posting photos are here: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=3219

I don't know I guess he is a scammer right? I mean he did ask me to apply for his leave to [email protected]. What else can he be than a scammer. So his email adress in [email protected]. He talks he wants to settle down and have children and maybe adopt one. He wants only laughter and hapiness. His sister is in Finland and his parents died. His father was a military man and he loved his mother. He doesn't want to give me his military email and i don't know where he's stationed exactly. But he is really good in what he does....

I've made a vow, to no one but you
I pledge my love to forever be true
I'll take care of you and treat you right
I'll lay beside you all through the night
I'll feed you and clothe you and keep you warm
I'll hug you and kiss you and give shelter in the storm
I'll help you and guide you and clear a path
I'll protect you and shield you from an angry man's wrath
I'll listen to your problems help you solve them too
I'll make you a rainbow and let the sun shine through
I'll take your side even if you're wrong
Just to prove our love is strong
I'll plant you flowers and make them grow
They'll be a symbol of love that only we'll know
I'll whisper your name when no one is near
So low that only you can hear
You'll feel my love even if we're apart
You'll know that we are one in heart
I'm falling for you so hard
I hope this is a best decision i'm taking
Because you are all i want
From now till the end of time
Missing you

it would sound so perfect if it would came from the right person. It is sad that they play with your feelings. You trust them and you think you can do anything...the feeling is so good. I'm glad that I found out before I did something stupid it hurts but it will heal....someday...I just hope no other women will fall for this guy......

he send me this:

Out of the shadows of the darkest night
You stepped forth like a dazzling light
Commanding my full attention , no other could compare
To your striking handsome face, your wavy raven hair
So strong, so magnetic, yet so tender and kind
You, forever I dreamed of and believed I would find
With love overflowing, so gentle yet strong
Once in your arms, this is where I belong
How can I make you begin to see
What your priceless love has given to me
When I looked into your eyes I felt
My fears and inhibitions melt
Looking into your soul I knew
The love I feel for you is true
For in your Heart, your eyes I see
My future and my Destiny
Time stood still when our lips met
Safe in the arms of my Beshert
Blind to all others, only you I see
My love, my life, my Destiny.

I figured it came from Sunnyvale US. He says he is in Cambodia and his commader is Brian Resnick...I will post picture too.

Thanks for posting all the info, ifonlyIknew!
Unfortunately, the scammer is using a trick to hide his IP address.
Please edit out your own email address to help you stay safe.

First of all:

Yes, he is a scammer. There is absolutely no question about that. He may plead his innocence, make up excuses, and give you phony explanations--but in the end they are all lies. There is no limit to the lies a scammer will tell if he thinks he still has a chance to get money.

Sunnyvale is yahoo's headquarters. The NNFMP in the headers denotes a yahoo mailing protocol that when used, typically keeps the original IP address from showing. Though not always, NNFMP is usually associated with scammers and spammers, and when you see it, it should be a red flag that says to look more closely. Add that to the copied poetry, and even before the phony leave requests he wasn't looking too good.

Interestingly, the name "Brian Resnick" is also a scammer name that was used to scam thousands of dollars from other victims. There really is a soldier with the last name of Resnick, but his first name is not Brian. I know this because in that situation, we did find out who the real soldier was. So the scammer may actually be the same scammer who played the role of Brian Resnick, or an accomplice.

The best thing to to is to drop the scammer. You have nothing to gain and plenty to lose by keeping in contact with him. Confronting him won't do you any good--he will continue to lie, because that's what these scammers do best. Everything he has told you is a lie, from his name to his life story--he is a young African man, not an American soldier. He has no relatives in Finland, and his family is very possibly alive. It is very possible that the real person writing you also has a wife and/or girlfriend. He will either continue to declare his innocence, or he will make you feel bad or guilty--sometimes scammers get downright vicious and threatening. In addition, educating him about anything he did wrong will only help him to scam better next time (and no matter what he says, there will be a next time).

Block him from your messenger, filter his emails to trash, and don't take his phone calls. No matter how hard it is, the best thing you can do now is cut him completely from your life and move on.

Dear all,

After I'm completely over this matter, that scumbag is still out there? We gotta ally and vanish him! Sorry for the girls, as Dotti said no matter how hard it is, cut him off and move on...

I also feel bad about the solider in the pics, their bravery, handsomeness are taken advantage of in this sham.

Btw, I agree it's not safe to post the topic appearing his name and email. He might start to google himself.

On the contrary Nelle, it is important to post his name and email. Those are the most likely things a victim or target will google. If they aren't posted, the victim won't find them, and is likely to proceed, thinking she is safe.

ALWAYS post the scammer's information.

I have said this before but it is worth repeating.
The majority of the time, when a scammer "finds" himself posted, it is because an angry victim or target tells him about it. It usually boils down to a conversation like this:

Victim: You are a lying scammer.
Scammer No I'm not. I love you, I don't know why you are being so mean. You need to trust me.
Victim You're lying, and I can prove it (attaches link).

It's natural to want the scammer to admit the truth, or to feel guilty about what he has done, or both. In reality, neither is going to happen. The scammer will continue to lie, only now he will know he is listed, so he'll start a new name an address for the next victim.
This is why we tell you NOT to tell the scammer how you know he is a scammer. Unfortunately, some victims will either miss the instructions or ignore them as emotions are running high. While that can be frustrating for us, we really can't stop it--and we do know that at least that particular victim was still saved by the post.

Scammers often use internet cafes, and pay for internet based on time used. They don't spend a lot of time searching themselves, because that means wasting precious internet time on something that won't lead to a payout--and they are all about the money.

By posting a scammer's information, you create a small risk that the scammer will find his information and change names (but if it's not listed anywhere anyway, why does it matter?). By NOT posting his information, you are ensuring that the next undecided victim loses valuable information that may have kept her from making a mistake.

Did any of you talked to this guy? I'm posting some more things he sent me. I really hope that as many women find out about this...luckily I didn't get attached to him as much...it has only been arround month and a half but still you start to feel something....

You are the love that my heart was waiting for
I may have thought I loved someone before
But this is nothing in comparison with the love
I feel for you
You are my only love
My greatest love
My missing piece
My dream come true
The man I prayed for, and loved
Even before I physically met you
I always knew you were there
You have always been a part of my heart
And now that we are together I never want to let you go
This is the one thing that you can always count on
You will always have my love, my loyalty my body and
My heart
You are my soul’s match and my destiny
I will love you all the days of my life
And through eternity

I wanted to tell you
how thankful I'm to have you
for each day goes by
you are the sunshine in my life

I love your kiss and warm embrace
how wonderful to start my day
the thing you do and say
babe I can't stay away

your heart is so wide
you could hold a thousand skies inside
your smile is so bright
it sweetened my heart just right

you are so very kind
I want you to be all mine
I would kiss your big and little toes
that true love I wanted to show
kiss your toes to the top of your nose

I'm here to love you
I'm be to be, babe,

whatever your heart desire
