Another militairy scammer!

Hello everyone!
I found this site while i was searching for information about this person and by reading here i learnt how to trace him.
I met this person on the virtual gamesite IMVU, which would be a perfect place to meet new victims. I usually dont chat on imvu, i just create stuff, but this guy kept inviting me one time after another and finally i could not resist cause i got curious.
I quickly got to like this person who intruduced himself as a brigadier general currently serving in Afghanistan, single dad, all alone in the world as his whole family passed away in a car accident when he was a kid. He seemed to be a very nice person! Telling me he was soon to retire and that he wanted to come visit me. A beautiful man according to the pictures he sent me. He kept saying nice things to me, always telling me how beautiful he found me, that he quickly explored deep feelings for me and now a few days ago suddenly proposed to me.
I dont deny that started to get feelings for him and was walking around in some kind of romantic cloud with a smile on my face.

But ... from the start i had kind of feeling that there was something wrong... first of all when we started to chat and before i saw his picture i thought i was chatting to a black person, dont ask me why. When he then sent me pictures he was white, but just that kind of a guy a girl would dream off. He said that he had been in the army for a long time even in Vietnam, which made me ask if he joined the army when he was just a baby or small kid. No reply to that! And then i realised that he very seldom responded my questions. Im a very curious person wants to learn about new things... so i naturally read alot about us army, different rangs, bases and all kind of stuff. When i asked about militairy things he just said: Do you wanna be a soldier? lol

Anyway the day after he proposed to me ...which i did not accept cause you dont propose to a person you dont even know.... i read my horoscope that said: Be aware... something or someone is not what they are claiming to be!!! That really got me thinking: What or whom in my life dont i feel a hundred percent comfortable with? Answer: that charming soldier.

So then i started searching more intense, i had already been searching the net for proofs that he would be the person he claimed to be but not found anything. But thanks to this site i managed to trace his location, and also the person at the photos.

Here is my information that i got on him:
avatarname on imvu: powerpandasnow
nickname:tallenmoore, tommy, thompson
mail: [email protected]
Name: Thompson Allen Moore ( like a combination of existing generals in Afghanistan)
Age: 48
From: New York, Usa
currently in: Afghanistan
Title: brigadier general (soon to retire and get a nice gratuity)
Status: divorced
Children: 14 year old son ( placed at a boarding school)
Interests: sports and music ( mostly music that black people listen to (no offense))

I got his ip number through the mail he wrote me and when i traced it the location was: GHANA
I traced the origin of the photos he sent me and found out that the real person is a senator in the us

Even if he did not come to that point when he would actually scam me i could see it coming. But as im a rather "suspisous" person i was very alert in missbelieving him and asking alot of questions, that he did not respond. Inspite of that i feel very disapoined and actually hurt... he gave me some hope, i kind of felt in love... and that i very disturbing!

So what do i have to do now? Just let it go or is there something one can do?

I see now that there are some words and letters missing! My keyboard is not what it should be

Welcome miah,

I'm glad you kept your eyes open and recognized this scammer for what he is. The best thing you can do for your own sake is to drop him if you haven't already. Just cut off all contact with him. Don't answer any more emails, and don't explain anything.

To help other potential victims (and reduce the scammer's effectiveness) you can post some of the actual emails he sent to you (remove your own name and any private information about you, if there is any) particularly his early ones. Scammers often use scripted emails. They send these exact same emails to multiple victims, many times under different names. Having these scripts posted can help future victims, even after the scammer changes names.

Yes Grunt thats one of the photos he used! Does that mean this one was already knowned for you?

Dotti: He actually only sent me one mail and that was the one with "photos of him", he first contacted me at the virtual game IMVU, where we were chatting and then after a while we continued our chat at yahoo.messenger.

I have written to imvustaff to see what they can do about him there and ive also contacted the women i found on his friendlist there.
