Anybody know anything about a Colonel David Robert Hall in the US Army? Emails used are: [email protected] and [email protected]. He says his DOB is November 24, 1966 and he is from Cranston, Rhode Island and went to Cranston High School East. He messaged me on Facebook out of the blue one day. Here is his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/davidrobert.hall
I'd like to think he is real but ... ? lol Any help you can give me would be great. Here are some of the messages he has sent me. I've deleted out some of mine and just left what he wrote. I will also add in the email he sent to me after this and the pictures he has shown me.

Hey David. I did write to you Monday about hurricane sandy and you replied back as Hello Sandy which had me kind of confused. this is what you wrote - "Hello Sandy,i hope you good just wanted to say hi and yeah my heart and prayers are with everyone in the east coast,i hope you are doing great though we will talk later ...David" might have just been a typo but I dunno ??

Ashley i saw your post on my timeline and seriously i dont understand what the issue is all ways of communicating via social networks are malfunctioning ,i believe the last time you requested i upload more pics i did and you viewed them so i think you can attest to that .i am not really a social networking fan i just developed a sudden interest in it quite recently

write you and below is the message i told you i sent it ,Good morning
Ashley,i am sure you are still asleep by now but that's cool hopefully
when you wake my mail will be the first thing you readjustlikei said
it would be when i requested for your Email ID,I
really had a wonderful sleep last night and seriously i am kind of
surprised because it has not been like this for sometime now but i
have kind of found peace since we started communicating,after reading
your last message on as i went back to sleep i had a dream about you
or could i say us?where we were laying outside looking at the sky. It
was a beautiful night with a beautiful lady. When I woke up this
morning I still had the image of your face pictured in my heart and a
smile on my face. Do take care of yourself and have a wonderful day
ahead of you BIG hugs and kisses.....David

100% scammer.

The English alone is a dead giveaway. The man writing to you is not American--he is African.

There are lots of other indicators besides the English. I will point out a few, though there are more,

For example, someone from a northern state like Rhode Island most certainly would NOT see the Caribbean as a place to "cool off."

When he made the typo with your name, it was because he didn't remember your name--not surprising since he is invariably trying to establish bogus relationships with several women at the same time.

The photos are stolen. Often scammers use photos from old myspace pages, facebook pages, or even photo sharing applications like photo bucket. In fact, you can see one of those photos leads to a facebook profile under another name. http://www.facebook.com/sam.kessler.969

It's also unlikely that a father would hand custody of his child over to a vindictive mother-in-law such as the (fictional) character he describes.

We do ask that you use a photo editing program to put "used by scammer" over the top of the photos, so that other scammers cannot use this website as a place to pick up new photos for scamming.

Thank you Dottie! I appreciate you helping me out. It's sad that the internet has scammers and people like this. What makes it worse I guess is that I met one of my best friends on the internet (and we eventually met in person several times and I've known her almost 10 years now!) and I know there are good people out there. You just have to trust your instinct and weed out the bad ones. I will change the pictures now to ones that say used by scammer on them.
