Thanks for responding to my message, hhmm...... Let me tell you little about myself. Well, I'm Danial Gruver by name but friends call me Danny. I'm 45 years old but turning 46 soon, 5"6 tall, Libra.

I am looking for someone who is nice, caring, loving, honest and understanding like i have said before, someone who have inner beauty because inner beauty tells the true and real character of a lady and it is from the inner side of her u can tell if she is good or bad... it is not all about the physical appearance but the inner feelings which is the true feelings..
I Enjoy reading, listening to music, mountain climbing, swimming, traveling. i guess due to time we will get to know more about ourselves and know more deeply. Well, I have to go now and i hope you tell me more about your fabulous life style.
thanks and remain blessed
till i hear from you again..... byeeeeee

I met Mark Gruver ([email protected]) on the http//www.match.com dating site on September 11, 2011. He said he had been in the US Army for over 20 years and was currently stationed in Baghdad. He sent me flowers on October 12. There was a phone number listed on the front of the card envelope of 659-524-6975, which I believe is a cell number from Birmingham, AL, based on a web search. He also had someone named Bill call me. The phone number Bill's call came from was 707-666-7637.

I also found him on another dating site http://freepersonals.ru/profile?id=420811;pid=920521 stating he was from Las Vegas, NV. I have several pictures of him. In one of them, he is in an Army uniform with another guy he called Philip also in an Army uniform.

I then found him on the http://www.tagged.com site. On this site, he is using multiple names and city locations (Daniel G in Altadena, CA; Chris G in New York, NY; Daniel G in Reston, VI; Michael G in Colorado Springs, CO; Daniel G in King, NC; Kevin G with no city listed; Daniel G in Herndon, VA; Daniel G in Scranton; Daniel G in Columbus, OH).

I have a bit of an issue with people saying these are fake pictures instead of stolen. These are pictures of real people who have been and are being scammed too. The only difference is they do not have the control of not being used.

He approached me on Oasis.com a singles dating site, His Profile name was someothertime. Within the first hour of chatting he asked if we could go onto MSN Messenger, We did and spoke on there, he asked me if I could Take my Oasis profile down also. He sent me an e-mail with 4 photos of himself and his e-mail said exactly what his Oasis Profile said, just like it was a script. That was my first alert. He had said he was in the Millitary and based in Kabul, although he is an American from, San Francisco, Californina, he was on A mission working with the UN, he also said his wife and he had split due to her leaving him while he was away on his first 'millitary deployment', He then went on to tell me he has A daughter named Mavis and send me a photo of a little coloured girl, he said she was living with a friend of his in Africa and her mother wants nothing to do with her. He can not webcam with me nor has a facebook page because of the strict security and someone had stolen photos off of his old facebook page which he has yet to remove. He is a Captain/ Sargeant in the millitary and has his own tent with his laptop and an armed guard also BTW...

By the second day he told me he is in love with me. Second Alert, He had also asked me to put my webcam on but it was not working so I told him he would have to wait, He sent me perfectly typed and worded e-mails, yet his spelling and grammar on MSN was fairly bad, Alert 3, so I googled his name and a whole heap of profiles came up from different dating sites, some with the same pictures, some with the same "scripted' story, as well as one from This site. The guy in the pictures looked the same, Still in Army attire, yet I was sent different pictures, the stories on this site were different also.... I didn't know what to think so I confronted him on it, 2 days later I got a reply telling me that he had mentioned his photos were stolen already when we first started chatting and that yes, he was on other dating sites.

So once again I fell for his charms, He had nothing to live for in America, is coming home in either December 2012 or January 2013, is going to get a flight from Afghanistan and fly here to Australia to meet me and propose, while he is here he is going to make sure I am stable, protected and Happy and help him to set up a home for my kids, myself, himself and Mavis which he will fly over, he will have to go over to America though and get his medals as he is retiring, so we will go with him and he will sell all of his assets over there and set up over here with us..... Alert again

His e-mails kept coming through and they were so sweet and so perfectly typed, I became very curious due to his bad spelling, EG: Dough instead of Though, and I decided to copy and Paste and found every e-mail he sent me, the site was.... lovingyou.com.

I inquired with him about the e-mails and asked him if those words came from him, his answer was a 'Yes of course they do Babe, My love for you is so true and I had to type what I was feeling' so I told him that it was funny that I had seen the same words spoken on lovingyou.com.... he told me he was a poet.... I then got angry with him and all of a sudden I was the worst person in the world, un-trustworthy, I don't know true Love, I am not faithful and go behind his back.... yet he is not angry.....

I have not spoken to him today as that all went down yesterday, I found this site very helpful. His newest IM and E-Mail address is [email protected]. I had previously asked him for proof as to who he is and that I wanted solid proof, he told me he could go to the 'diplomat house in Kabul and ring me, He has asked me for my phone number so he can prove it is him, but I told him that he could be anyone calling me from anywhere so that was not proof of who he is, he did seem a bit angry/confused by this. BUT he has not asked me in the 2 weeks we were or have been chatting for anything else. Maybe he is just a sad and Lonely guy who lives in a world of possible make believe.... That is not MY world though so good luck to him and all I can hope is that anyone else who falls for this guys fakery googles his name!!!

I'm glad you realized what was going on before you lost any money.

Maybe he is just a sad and Lonely guy who lives in a world of possible make believe...

While there are certainly people out there who fit that description, he is not one of them. Money is his goal. But he does this for a living, and he knows when NOT to ask for money. Right now you are doubting him, and you are angry. If he asks a victim for money when things are in this state, he knows he's not going to get it, and his victim is probably going to realize the truth.

So his goal at this point is to make you feel guilty for questioning thing anything about him, and at the same time make himself look like a patient, loving person who is a victim of your unfounded jealousy or suspicion. Of course, in reality, nobody should ever feel guilty about using caution and checking facts when meeting someone online. Safety should be a top priority. But of course scammers don't want their stories or their emails checked too closely, because of course they won't pass any real inspection.

Once the scammer gets the desired response (i.e. you feel really guilty for questioning him and want to make it up to him, or you have at least moved past your suspicions and believe you have fallen in love) he will move on to the money requests.

GHANA :dancebaby:

I'm Daniel Gruver. I was born on the 18th of July 1975 at the St Baptist Hospital of Miami. I started A & A Children at stage 6 and later on continued from Calvary Baptist Church Schools. I was very playful at school and it affected my academic works. I joined the Military academy at the age of 16. .. My mom was a head teacher and dad was in the medical field of the army and later worked with the UN. My Dad fought in the Gulf war in 1990 to 1991. The gulf war was fought to liberate Kuwait from autocratic rule of the late Saddam, I am Captain and now working with the UN. I am the leader of my squad. I am currently stationed in Kabul in Afghanistan I have to let you know that I am on my second mission My first mission was in Iraq in 2004. and its came an end in 2006. Went back to the States, I found out that my ex betrayed my love by going in for another man. She cost me a lost. She misused my properties so I paid her off. I was in love with her with all my heart but she let me down. I was with her for 14 years. :

I am now looking for the one whisk to my heart,a woman who will love me for me and not for what i have..i am looking for true love to spend the rest of my life with. : Hope things will change from one stage to another.I will be home in a month time. i lost my family in some years back Dad got shots in the army and Mom had an heart-attack when she heard about my Dad death ,i hate to talk about this cause it makes me sad every time i think about it.Am actually relocating because it hurts whenever i come home,it reminds me of my past.. I don't use to communicate with outsiders because of security reasons but I need a woman for myself as am retiring from the army to settle down.. A woman who will be there for me and I will be there for her too.

There is a smile of love, and there is a smile of Deceit, and there is a smile of smiles, in which these two smile meet, a smile is ever the most bright and beautiful with a tear upon it. What is the dawn without the dew? the tear is rendered by the smile precious above the smile itself.....i thought she was the deepest happiness in a life time and think she will be the one I can come home and lay my heard on.The one I always thought or think by sharing all point of view with.while thinking of her and thought she is the brighter side of my life. I did all I could in support to her needs and given a helping hand for her to grub a job, and support the family as well. In times like holiday and spending time with each other. spending much time with her as much as I could..but all the same its over now, all though am hurtled,i have gotten over it now and moving on in life with determination to hit my goals...
Hope to hear from u also and some photos of u as well..take care stay bless...

Daniel Gruver.....

Honestly feel so sorry for anyone who gets scammed by this low life (for better word). I was lucky, I didn't but so many will if they are not smart, I got the story of his parents dying too etc, he said he was In Kabul, yet from America yet his IP is from, is if Africa?! Ladies if u have been scammed and have read this post, just know I am so sorry for how u are possibly feeling right now, the I'm so stupid, I am a fool, I thought he was legit...... We all did :-) just make sure u type you experience here so it doesn't get lost on the WWW, and it will be one of the first websites to come up when, like I did, other ladies get curious and google names xoxoxo Don't give up on love thou, just be aware <3
