in need of help

I met this person online stating he was a najor general in the us army. I will not get into details. but I am scared and worried. My daughter gave him my address and cell phone. I looked up his info on line. came out with some truth and called the army. but I am to embarassed about this.

I can tell you there are no Major Generals in the US army online hunting for women. We need as many messages and email addresses this African or Malaysian scammer sent as you can. If you can also post email headers too it is a help.
Don't be embarrassed it happens all the time and scammers do this all the time. In future exist on line with an air of disbelief and never send any money when asked since it is always a scam. The same goes for accepting parcels , flowers, cheques etc. You can look up the anatomy of Fake Military scams so I won't post it all over again.
If you did pass on personal details and if you do get items sent, reject them so they become a non delivery. This way the scammer is unable to confirm your existence. He won't do anything with them except maybe to pad out another scam so don't worry.

No need to be embarrassed.

You didn't go online too scam anyone, lie, steal and cheat. In these encounters there's only one scumbag, and it isn't you.

I've already posted that there are calculated to have been 200,000 victims in the UK alone who have each lost up pounds sterling 250,000.

if you're looking for friendship/romance online your defences are down. The most he's likely to do with the information he's been given is send you more spam/scam contacts. He won't come looking for you - that's not their business. You can rest easy on that score, but you may get phone calls and, if you just cut him off, he won't keep wasting his money on calls for long.

A little more information would help, but it sounds as if you have been in touch with an African romance scammer who is living in Africa or Malaysia and posing as an American soldier. Unfortunately, this is an extremely common scam these days. As Began has already stated, our high-level soldiers are not online seeking long-distance relationships.

Be aware that he may try to approach you using a new fake identity. He may pose as a new love interest, or he may even pretend to be some kind of authority--for example, the police or the FBI. If you have lost money, he may claim he can get it back for you, or he may claim that you can get the scammer arrested. These are all scammer lies. Any money sent is gone.

The first thing you should do is cut off all contact with this scammer. If he does call you, do not take his calls. Hang up if you accidentally answer. If you can, block his numbers and his email, and if you have been chatting, block him on messenger too. Better yet, change your email address if possible.

If you are worried that he is going to show up at your home, you don't need to be. He may promise to come see you, or even threaten to visit, but it's not going to happen. He is a thief and a coward, hiding behind a fake identity, stolen photos, and a web of lies, whose sole intention is to steal your money. If you have sent inappropriate photos or have done anything on webcam and he is threatening you with sharing or posting photos or recorded video (another common scammer tactic) it is important that you do not give in to any kind of blackmail, because he will never stop if you show him that you are afraid. He may threaten you, but that is just another way to try to get money from you. If he can't reach you, he can't threaten you, and when he realizes he is not going to get money, he will stop. How long it will take him to go away may vary--if you never sent him any money, he will go away faster, but if he got any money from you, he sees you as a better victim, and he will continue to try for longer. Eventually he will go away though.

Welcome to the forums blahsmurf.
First of all, there is nothing to be embarassed about. The scammer having your residential address is not really an issue. I have been in the same situation with no adverse effects. However, you may wish to talk with your phone provider. If you start receiving unwanted calls from the scammer, ask your phone company to block unwanted numbers and/or maybe only accept local calls? I realise the inconvenience but you could reverse the block at a later date.
Do not be intimidated by the trickster because it will be all bluff and hot air. Your best course of action is to simply cease all communications with said scoundrel.
If you could publish the email address or any other info it uses, would be a tremendous help.
You should not be scared, it will be the dirty con artist who will be worried if caught!
The last time I looked, it was not against the law for one person to open their heart and show warm feelings for another. Unfortunately in this case, the other individual has turned out to be a low life of a thief that had plans on fleecing you. Don't worry, the tosspot is not going to start banging on your door or anything like that. If that happened, it's real identity would become known. The gutless bastards hide behind fake names, photos, throwaway email addresses etcetera and etcetera. It won't come out from the shadows.
