Welcome to ScamWarners hrtbrkn. The military does not need anyone so sign up for their employees / soldiers to do anything the soldier needs.

The email addresses you have been given have nothing to do with the actual military.

Your best course of action is to stop communicating with this scammer. Nothing good will come from staying in contact. Don't tell him you know he is a scammer, just disappear.

You are not a sucker, you are a victim of an experienced scammer or team of scammers.

Please post up some of the early emails you received.

If you are interested, we can teach you how to tell where the email might have come from.

People serving in the military are issued everything they need by the government they are serving.

I nwed to listen to the sirens in my head. I just got the email for the form I am supposed to fill out to be regitered. It wasnt on official DOD letterhead and some grammatical errors, and last but not least the nail in the coffin: the money...$450 by western union ONLY.

You are correct. Being asked to send money through Western Union is a sure sign of a scam.

That is the exact picture he sent me. I sent him an email advising him to never contact me again.

Well then there is another soldier scammer. Sgtkack44. His name is Jack Mirphy. No email yet. Met him on netlog. He called once, but the voice on the other end was not american. He said they intercept the calls for security. I didnt talk to him and havent from him since. Man, I must come across as some easy mark. I did get scammed by someone a couple of years ago. Called himself Samson Madrid.. [email protected]. He got me for about 1800 dollars. I wonder where they get the pictures from.

Bhbbles...As soon as "Rick" sent me the email I sent him one telling him that i do not want anythi g to do with him. He replied that im rejecting the only one that will love me. And Samson got really upset when i refused to send him anymore money. He said i f'd up. I sent back big bold red letters telling him to f off.

And the sad part about samson is that he was on a website for a specific group of people that cant really be on regular websites, saying that he was one of them. Still got me for 1800 dollars and some legal problems afterwards.

Thank you for telling more of your story. I am sorry to hear you lost so much money and had legal troubles.

Scammers will show up any place they think they can get victims. They are "equal opportunity" thieves.

If you would like to share the kind of legal troubles you had to help others, we would welcome that. We certainly don't want you to do anything you would be uncomfortable with, or that might cause you further problems or pain.

Let us know how we can help you through the healing process.

Is there any way to heck on this person. I dont havt remember his email, but he goes by the name sgtjack44. Another aleged soldier. I already know he is because he cant spell.

As for samson, small legal problem of being sued. Some of the money was obtained by doing payday loans fotalling about 500 dollars plus interest that i couldnt afford to pay, so i had to close my account.

let me start by introducing myself my name is Samson madrid and am 43 years old, am en engineer and self employed at the moment, am originnally from the carribean island and hav been in the states for almost 10 years i have a son and his 5 years and we both live together he lost his mom when he was 1 year old and since then i have raised him alone, am just a poor widower whose searching and looking for a woman to call his own . About my life and what I'm looking forI'm trust worthy, loyal and looking for someone who I can easily communicate with and appreciates those traits. A simple woman with a dash of complexity to keep things interesting, who likes to be out going and spontaneous but doesn't mind just cuddling on the couch and watching a movie. It's kind of tough to "advertise" yourself and still reflect who you are but guess that's how this whole thing works, so here it goes. I'm confident, not arrogant, have a good head on my shoulders, a lot of fun, and very "real". Real in the sense that people usually find me very easy to talk to, non-judgmental, straight forward yet considerate. They say that I wear who I am on my sleeve. I’m kind of perplexed about that because I don't know if that's a good thing or bad. Not to mention……what dress was I wearing and which sleeve were they looking at (hahaha) but I guess it's me. I think it's because I've experienced many things in life and been blessed with unique perspective. I have nothing to lose by being myself; in fact it makes life much easier. Not being yourself just leads to misconceptions and building a relationship (friendly or intimate or both) on a false foundation. It only leads to finding out, after too much time invested, what one or both of you knew wasn't going to work out in the beginning anyway, not to mention hurting someone’s feelings. Call me crazy, call me forward, call me sensitive or a tough guy, whatever you want but I call it real. Life's too short to spend it sad, miserable, or alone. It's great to have fun, be happy, and enjoy life, but it's even better when you have that special someone to share all that with and be your best friend.
I'm compassionate, grounded and have many good friends. I'm looking for someone who I can bring around my friends but understands that occasionally some time alone with them isn't a bad thing. I'd like a woman who I can have by my side at a business dinner and can carry a conversation with my colleagues and clients, but is also down to earth I enjoy playing sports and still play competitively, so it’d be nice if the woman wouldnt mind perticipating with me, I want to share my life with someone who knows how to have fun, is considerate, compassionate, I love openness and honesty; I think it paves the path to great communication. I'd love to be able to show her new things and have her show me a few too. I'm always up for just about anything and want a woman that I can spoil and will spoil me with love, laughs and new perspectives.
Well, I think I shared enough at this point to at least start some conversation. Hope I sparked a little interest and I’m looking forward to getting to know you and building at least a good friendship. Hope to chat soon, thanks for reading and take care, sam
