This scammer is pretending to be General Andrew Lesley, US Army (Retired) and targeting women on Netlog.com and Twoo.com, possibly other places.

He claims to be in Iraq on peacekeeping duties or buying property for investment, or both.

Apart from wanting money, he also will try to persuade his victims to buy a house for them to live in together.

I was born December 1957. and my initial schooling was conducted in Canada, the USA, France, Cyprus, and Switzerland. my family has a tradition of military service and i joined the Army Reserves in 1977 (30th Field Artillery Regiment) while at Ottawa University. While in London, England, as a graduate student i was attached to the Honourable Artillery Company. In 1980 i attended the International Peace Academy United Nations (UN) Staff Seminar in Vienna, Austria. In 1981, i then transferred to the regular force and served with 1 Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery (1 RCHA) in Germany during which he completed the British Army Troop Commanders course, French Army Commando training, the hand-to-hand combat course and the combat intelligence course.

After a succession of field tours with mechanized and airborne combat units in Germany, Cyprus and Canada and command appointments up to regimental level, i was promoted to Colonel in early 1995 and sent to the Former Yugoslavia as Chief of Staff Sector South (Brigade Level). I was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal for his actions under fire during the fighting for Knin in August 1995. He then became Chief of Staff UNCRO (Division level), and finally Chief of Staff of UNPF (Mission level). Following the UN hand-over to NATO forces, i then returned to Western Canada as the Area Chief of Staff in 1996 and served in that capacity during the Manitoba floods of Spring 1997.


In July 1997 i became the Commander of 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group (1CMBG), an infantry-heavy formation, where the focus was on live-fire combined arms training. In early 1998 1CMBG deployed to the South shore of Montreal to assist with ice-storm disaster relief operations, followed by an almost continuous cycle of Battle Group and Brigade exercises. That same year he was awarded the Order of Military Merit. In early 1999, 1CMBG tightened its focus on complex peace support/peacemaking missions in anticipation of a deployment to Kosovo

HELLO HONEY

My life would be beautiful if you were by my side because you have painted a smile in my heart that will last for a lifetime, If it's the thought that counts you can always count on me; I think about you all the time, It was love which made me fall for you and that I am still falling and that is why am still here
Everything I do right now is because I love you. You are worth it to me. Missing you is my hobby, caring for you is my job, making you happy is my duty, and loving you is my life.

And various phrases that he drops into conversation:

you are the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me. each moment that you and I spend together is so magical that I catch myself smiling for no reason at all

I thought that I would never find a love that is as strong as ours, but now that we've found each other I know that you are the person I want to spend the rest of my life with, the person I want to marry, the person I want to have babies with, and the person I want to grow old with

When distance tends to keep us apart, Remember I still hold you near in my heart. When the night together, can't be ours, Just close your eyes and meet me in the stars

You are my future and nothing can ever keep us from our destiny. I miss you more every day. I am here with open arms where you will soon be when i finally arrive... right where you belong

I want you to know that since the day we met I've fallen deeply in love with you. There are no words to express the gratitude I feel in my heart that you came into my life
