Information on romance scams and scammers.

I've been chatting with a guy for almost 2 weeks now. He goes by the name of, Sgt. Frank Chris. He said, he's 38 years old, and he is at Dubai right now for peace missions, and have been serving the U.S. Army for 7 years now. As our chat continues, we agreed to meet. He said, I should just help him file for a leave. He told me to write the letter to this, [email protected] and when I did, I got a reply back. It was a form that needs to filled out. To my surprise, I should pay $650 for his security purposes. I know the military don't have protocols like this, because a soldier doesn't have to pay anything for a leave. He's using the email : [email protected]

I am sharing you this, so if you come across with someone saying the info's above, cease and don't give in.

Mark them as "fake used by scammer", upload them to http://scamwarners.com/, and enter the links with "[img]" tags in a post here. Also post the emails (remove your own email address from the headers).

Well done gorgeous beach on publishing the email addresses the scammer is using. The mail2ohio.com is simply a free email address that anybody can use. If you go look for mail2world.com, you'll see what I mean.
It is much like yahoo etcetera. I could probably make an email address of sendemailtome at mail2roger.com or similar if I wished. Free email programmes such as that have nothing to do with the military.

Thank you for the additional info's. Anyway, I'm just curious. Do the people who do these kind of scams ever get caught? How about the persons whose identities were stolen or being used, will they get notified?

Occasionally one will get caught, but sadly it's an all too rare occurrence. Scammers like this tend to operate in foreign countries where law enforcement chooses to look the other way. Plus they use free, anonymous email accounts which makes identifying them very difficult. Posting their information here, as you've done, at least exposes their crimes to the masses.

The name he is using now, or at least with me was John Thomas. He claimed to have a 3 year old son that was staying with a nanny in Texas while he is deployed in Africa - he's a Marine you know :laugh-s: No family and his wife died... Said that his bank accounts were frozen because someone tried to hack them and he needed a loan to pay the nanny. He likes to communicate via KIK and has a picture of a tall guy bending over a small child playing a game...possibly at Chucky Cheese??? As he was asking me for the money, I was reverse searching all the pictures he sent me. That's how I ended up here. The funny thing is that as he texts, it's in very broken English. I would not be surprised if he is actually Nigerian since his Facebook account is registered to a Nigerian country code. I have several additional photos that I can post here to help keep others from falling prey to this man... :beer:

One more thing, I texted him to say Frank, or John or whomever you are...it is despicable that you would hide behind someone in the military and I hope he rots in h@ll. He asked me why I would say that, and I asked why he would have two Facebook pages with the same picture and different names...His response was the military made him do that for security reasons--and I wasn't supposed to see that. I BET...BTW, we met on Tinder, which is a social networking site for singles that feeds off you Facebook, so if anyone thinks this is a safer dating site, apparently it's not.
