Loving My Army Sgt Jackson Philip

Loving my Army Sgt Jackson Philip, He makes me feel good inside. and I also am adored and loved by him too... He and I have been together since March 9, 2012 and he tells me were gonna go on vacation after he meets my Mom, Aunt and youngest cousin. He means the world to me and I to the same in return... he makes me feel good about myself too and he is happy that he chose me to spend the rest of my life with him and I can't wait until he moves down here to Houston after this Deployment! He told me he wanted me to open an account at Chase bank so he could put money into it so that I could pay his transfer. I then told him that I didn't have a job at the time that he wanted me to open a bank account with Chase Bank but that was back in April 2012 when he asked me to open one.

I don't know how to say this other than to be completely blunt.

We have already said it on this site, and I see this is not the only site where you have posted about your "love." You need to read Bryon's post here:

viewtopic.php?p=117362#p117362

You are not now, and have never been, in a relationship with an American solder. The man who is in contact you is not American. He is not a soldier on deployment. He is not on a NATO mission. No matter what he says, he is never coming to see you.

The man you have been talking to is a young, black, Nigerian man. Nigeria is where he was born, and it is where he is now. His emails have already been traced to Nigeria.

He is using stolen photos and copied poetry and love letters, and he is sending these things to many women at the same time. He may pretend to be loving and romantic, but in reality he doesn't care in the least about the women he is writing. The only thing he cares about is how much money he might be able to get.

The sooner you understand and accept that you are being scammed, the sooner you can move on with your life.

Hi armysoldiersprincess.
Can I ask how you started corresponding with the mentioned soldier? I would be disturbed if contact was initially made through a supposed internet dating site! The military type scams are all too common I'm afraid.
To be fair, I would simply cease all contact with the individual. The tricksters tell all sorts of stories and I'm sad to say the article by you is another grubby scam artist hoping to fleece the money from your purse.
The con artist will leave you high and dry with no where to go. Please don't end up with your fingers being burnt.

Wow, OMG how could I be so vulnerable to fall for this stupid SCAMMER?? ::shock: Something should have came on and I would have been on with my life. I should not have fallen for him at all. I wish I didn't fall head over combat boots in love with him.. I am just so stupid to think I was gonna be a US Army Girlfriend and live happily ever after with him! *Tears fall down my face*

Scammers are very skilled at getting women to fall for them. The do it all day long.

Falling for him doesn't mean you are stupid, it means he is very skilled and he exploited your vulnerability.

What he wants from you is money. He says all of those things to get you to fall for you, then he asks for money for a leave, or retirement or some equipment. None of it is true. He is only after your money and he gets to it through your heart.

It will do no good to confront him. He will just lie.

Now that you know the truth, it is best to just drop ALL communication with him. He will just try to pull you back in so your will give him money. He is a scammer, nothing else is true.

I am sorry you have been hurt by this scammer. Sadly, they have no feelings and do this all of the time. That is why we expose them and their tactics. We also support their victims while they heal from the damage done by the scammer.

Hi jolly_roger,
Yes you may ask me how I started to correspond with the mentioned soldier? First I was on http://www.Badoo.com the dating site back in March 2012, then one of his Comrades told him about it and he decided to become a member. I was already on there first and the next day he looked at my profile and pictures and called me beautiful and asked me some questions? Are you married, do you have any children and I told him no and then I had in return asked him the same questions? Are you married, do you have any children and he told me no and then he said honey I'm happy to hear that from you. and I said well your welcome Jackson...

badoo, like many dating sites, is loaded with scammers.

It's important to understand that everything he has told you, from the very beginning, is a lie.

then one of his Comrades told him about it and he decided to become a member

He is not a soldier, and there were no "comrades" telling him about the site. He just picked a popular dating site (probably multiple dating sites) and created a fake profile (in reality, he will have multiple fake profiles, under different names and addresses.) He then approached several women in his target range (for many scammers that will be women between 40 and 60 years old) with the same story about how her profile and photo caught his attention.

This is a business for the scammer - it is how he makes his money. He will tell any lie necessary and play any role he can think of, if it will help him to get your money. That is why it is so important to cut off all contact with him, and not respond to any future requests--because if you confront him, he will make up new stories, and he may pull you back into his web of lies.

I thank you Bubbles, wow a *Sigh of Relief* he made me believe this was all true and I didn't see it from the first couple of weeks in March 9, 2012 on http://www.Badoo.com when I was on there first. then one of his Comrades told him about the site and so he wanted to join to become a member.. As I was on first then the next day he viewed my pictures and profile and said hi beautiful and I said thanks for your compliments on me babe!
Then we exchanged yahoo messenger names and we started to chat back and forth between each other from March until June 2012 then he deleted his profile since he found his love me Angela at first he thought I was also 39 years old but I'm actually 32 years old.

I am just so stupid to think I was gonna be a US Army Girlfriend and live happily

No you are not stupid. Sometimes people need a guiding hand to see what is really happening on these so called dating sites. There are some real good folk with profiles whom are brilliant to converse with, but there is also plenty of suspect individuals. To give an example, Facebook estimates that more than 83 million of its active users may not be real people. Fraudulant scammers are a huge problem and many people cannot see that. When honest folk place profiles online because they are lonely, the tricksters circle like sharks I'm sad to say. I was scammed previously and now try to help others from it happening to them. Keep your wits about you in regards to this so called online dating and you should be ok.

What a *sigh of relief* thank you, I feel a little better after I read your post to my reply ,... So what you are saying the guy that called himself Jackson Philip wasn't his real name that he was given by his parents at birth? So now that is getting past me now I can finally rest easy at night all through the night without worrying about the Scammer?! What site were you on and you got scammed? If you don't mind me asking of course. This is the email address he gave me for me to request his leave from the Deployment for a year? It's [email protected]

The email address [email protected] being used is one invented by the scammer. The @gmx is like a free webmail anybody could use. (it's basically the same as yahoo, hotmail etcetera) The military would certainly never use it. People do not pay for military persons to have leave. It's like you having to pay your employer a large fee when you wish to enjoy annual holidays. It doesn't happen that way.
The published story will be found when people do an internet search. You have done a good job posting the details and others are far less likely to get caught out.

So what you are saying the guy that called himself Jackson Philip wasn't his real name that he was given by his parents at birth?

It is not his name, and he knows nobody by that name. He is Nigerian and his real name will be an African name. The name he used is actually one of the first flags that he is a scammer, and someone pointed that out on another site where you posted.

African names look nothing like European and American names. Many African scammers have very little knowledge of our names, and some scammers will get our names mixed up. They may not be able to distinguish between a man’s name and a woman’s name. For example, Americans will recognize Dotti as a woman’s name, but many African scammers believe that I am a man. One angry scammer even changed his fake name on a profile to Dotti because he thought it would stop me from warning the women he was trying to scam.

Or, they may not recognize which names are usually first names, and which names are usually last names, so they may use two first names, or two last names, or they may reverse the first and last name. Your scammer has chosen an unlikely name because he doesn’t understand first and last names.

There are scammers on almost every dating site out there. As soon as a new dating site opens, scammers will try to join. Some sites try very hard to keep scammers off, while others make very little effort, but even the most careful sites can’t stop an occasional scammer from signing up, as some scammers are very clever at hiding their true identities. There are MANY scammers on the military dating sites, because they target their sites to run their phone and/or leave scams. Your scammer was running the very common and often successful “leave scam. ” You can read our informational topic on the scam here.

I would also recommend that you read the “information for victims” thread here, to help you with the next steps you should take.

Edit to add: Not only can you not request leave for a soldier, soldiers do NOT get a year of leave or anything near a year.

Okay so I tried the email he gave me back in July, which I never got a reply back from the specified email address he given me. then I find that weird enough and the little red bell rang in my heart and ears then when I was told by him he didn't want me to talk to anymore men on badoo US Military or other profession I didn't know what to think or tell him next to him. I then began started to get excited and anxious about us actually meeting in person and along with my Mom, Aunt and youngest cousin since my two other cousins are in Colorado.

Hi armysoldiersprincess,

This scammer Army Sgt Jackson Philip is not making plans to meet you. He will use that story line to try to get you to send him money. Often the scammer will tell you they are on their way, then something keeps them from making the trip. Usually an accident or emergency of some kind and they need you to send money to help them out of a problem.

This person Army Sgt Jackson Philip does NOT exist. It is a name the scammer made up. Scammers make up lots of names that they think sound American or English. There is no soldier. The scammer uses photos he has taken from real soldiers, some of who are dead.

They do all of this to get into your bank account. They do not want a relationship. They do not want want a girl friend or wife. They want M-O-N-E-Y and will say anything to get it. They will "confess" love. They will feign need. They will get mad and threaten.

There is no person making plans for a future with you via email. This is 100% a fraud and a scam.

We are glad you found us so we can help you break free from this scammer and be saved from the damage he will do to you, both financially and emotionally. It is best to stop all communication with this scammer.

Just a couple of points to add to what Bubbles sais:

I was told by him he didn't want me to talk to anymore men on badoo US Military or other profession

Like all scammers, he didn't want other scammers to get a chance to get your money before he did. He also wanted to make sure you didn't get a chance to meet someone who would make you see he is a scammer.

then he deleted his profile since he found his love me

Scammers say this all the time, and it's another standard lie. It typically means that someone else he tried to scam reported him to the dating site, and the dating site actually removed his profile.
