I'm not even going to bother searching to see if the company exists or not as I can guarantee that it is a scam.

You are not "online dating with a US navy", you are communicating with an African scammer who is just after your money and by the look of it using you as a money mule.

NO legitimate job requires you to recieve money into your personal account and then pay it on elsewhere - the money you have received i the proceeds of crime and when that is discovered the money will be reversed leaving you down the money you sent on. But that is the least of your worries - you could also find your bank account closed, a fraud marker on your credit file and being investigated for money laundering.

If you have received money into your account - do not withdraw it or send it elsewhere. Contact your bank as soon as they open and tell them that the money you have recieved is fraudulent.

Please can you also post all the email addresses used by this scammer as it will help others avoide being scammed by them.

Alan is absolutely correct. The address given is an residence, not an office. Do not trust anything or anybody on the internet.

Companies don't hire without an interview. If you sent an application and were hired without an interview, it's a scam.

Exactly...even the most relaxed company has SOME sort of formal process of hiring, and NO company is going to demand large sums of money to hire you.

You are NOT communicating with anyone from the US Military. It is an african scammer and aall they want is money.

Please send us more details so we can help you through this, and also warn others.

If you got money in your bank from them you must immediately go to your bank and the police with EVERY BIT of communication from the scammers and show that you were a victim. Otherwise YOU MAY BE ARRESTED FOR FRAUD by allowing those funds in your account..

I am sorry this happened to you. Please do not confront the man...he is not who he says he is, and he will do/say anything to keep you strung along it is all lies to scam you

Unfortunately, as the others have said it is a scam.

But, just to reiterate: As others have pointed out, it's not just the fake job that it is a scam. It is your "boyfriend" that is a scam.

Unfortunately, African scammers posing as American soldiers are a HUGE problem these days. They find news stories about real soldiers, or even visit facebook or myspace pages of innocent soldiers. The scammers then steal the photos from those stories or pages, and create fake accounts on dating sites, pretending to be American soldiers. Sometimes they use the name of the real soldier, while other times they just make up a new name.

Sadly, the VAST majority of "American soldiers" on dating sites are not real. They are fakes, created by African scammers to steal your money. Real American soldiers, especially those stationed overseas, have many responsibilities, and what little time they have for communication they generally want to spend talking to the loved ones they have left back home.

If you were in a relationship with a real American soldier, he would NOT ask you for money. And he would not tell you to contact anyone else who asks you for money either. He would arrange to meet you, in person when he has leave available (which doesn't cost anything!). He would not try to arrange a job for you when he has never even met you. You would NOT request anything from the military on his behalf, and you would NOT have to arrange for a special phone to talk to him.

It is important that you cut off all contact with this scammer now. He will only continue to lie to you. He may declare his innocence, and claim that he didn't know the job was a scam--but he lies for a living so it means nothing to him.

The best thing you can do for others is post information for others to find. Copy and paste the first couple of emails he sent you into a post here. Post his email address and any other email addresses used in this scam, as well as any phone numbers. You can post the photos he is using as well--there is a link in my signature for how to do that.

Many of these scammers use the exact same lies and even emails on multiple victims, which is why posting them is so important to prevent the scammer from doing more harm to others.

Hi sweetsmile074, we are starting to see more scammers include other types of scams in their draw to get you to send money. This one pretended he could get you a job. In the meantime, he can continue to twist you with his love lies and eventually find other ways to get you to "assist" with his so called life. I know there were a lot of details posted here, all important. The most important one is that you have stopped communication with this scammer. Please make sure you pay attention to that. It can be hard. You were imaging a life that will never come true, both with your hopful love and the job you thought you might get.
Understand you have been sold on a beautiful lie. It is done by a professional liar who knew exactly what to tell you to make you feel special and adored. Then, to add another hook, you got promised a job. You need to know neither one are real. And I know that hurts. I got scammed too. I believed in the wonderful thoughts of being together with my supposed love and building a new life. It is hard to know none of it will come true. Go ahead and feel mad, upset, foolish, all the emotions that come to the surface. It will get better. For now, just be thankful you came here and learned the truth before the liar could hurt you further
