Scammer - Sergeant Gregory Carson Jordan

I have found out after my gut instinct kicked in that I have been scammed by someone posing to be an American Infantry 1st class sergeant called Greg Carson Jordan, email address is [email protected] - I 'met' him through internet dating site 'Friends Reunited - Dating'

We have been in correspondance for about 9 weeks o so maybe a little more.

He says that he is in Afghanistan which he went out to on Boxing Day and he has 2 children both under 7 a boy and a girl and I have recieved some lovely photos of them too with him as well.

His favourite love song is by Shania Twain 'One moment with you' and he is 46yrs old his emails and msn chat is very lovely and he hasn't yet asked me for money, BUT he did ask me to be put on the military logistics register so that we could text each other, and to do that I had to send a copy of my passport and drivers licence (which I happily did thinking that we would be in more personal contact), next I received an email from the military logistics asking me to let him have an O2 top up voucher which I did through the o2 website and sent it to him, to the phone number that he gave which is 07516120970 and we can only text each other on this number. I have tried to ring it and got Service Unavailable

Next with the help of his friend Paul who is in the medical dept out there he has got the info for us to ring each other. Tonight I receved an email from them stating that I was waiting to be approved and I would be sent a list of the subscription charges - this is when I became more alert and looked up this web site as I had been told about it and invariably I was right and I have been scammed. Thought I should let others know about it too and I have also contacted the dating website as when I went on the guy has changed his login name, but all our correspondance that I had with 'ciaogregman64' has now changed name to 'freddieman45' and the profile is the same, but the area in Scotland where he claims to use has changed.

I just wanted you to know in case anyone else gets contacted by this man, I have also kept all the emails that we have had, and Julien from here has advised that it might be a good idea to let the DVLA & Passport office know that I have been scammed and that I sent my details.

I feel incredibly foolish and very sick as I told him a lot about myself really I also feel ashamed of myself for sending my passport and drivers licence details.

I just hope this helps someone else who might be in contact with this man.

First of all, don't beat yourself up about this. Many people fall victim to these scammers--they have lots of practice, and would not be doing this if they didn't make money at it. You didn't lose very much, and you didn't give away your bank account information or anything like that--you were wise enough to check before either happened.

Second, these scammers often reuse scripts after they change their names, so posting the contents of his early emails, as well as the emails around the phone "setup", as well as any other names/email addresses used, will likely help even more women to avoid being scammed. Just remove your information (e.g. email address, name--though if you look through your correspondence, you will likely find he didn't actually use your name or personal info all that often) before you post.

Here are some of his early emails I received

Hello su ,

Take good care and merry xmas in advance

Greg xxxx

hello su,

i feel so good knowing i feel comfortable talking to you and felt your openess as well ,I really want you to know i seem to be attracted to you and before i get to be attached to you i want to be more clear with you on what i look for a relationship and what would impact it negatively. I do not want to lead you on and myself therefore i would prefer to be straight forward from the beginning.

I am looking for someone to share my life together not temporarily but permanently. am i ready for commitment it is yes if you are the right person. How would i know you are the right person i can only belief once we understand,accept adapt and work towards the relationship on what we both want.


i cherish relationship and i would never do anything to hurt someone dear to me and i expect the same from your end.

I love traveling as you know by now and i would love to continue doing it as a family but at times i would like to have time alone with just 2 of us.

What ticks me off, lazy people who make use and take advantage of others. Selfish and self centered person. I belief in picking up myself on each failure and moving forward thus i expect the same. Yes everyone goes through bad time and there is a transsision period one suffer but i do not appreciate people who uses that as an excuse to move forward. It makes me sick when people use this to rely on benefits and sit on their ass doing nothing. For me no job is too small or demoralized when one is thrown in the situation. I despise people who use it as an excuse for blaming the system and others and make others feel their are the victim.

I cannot tolerate cheats and infidelity and i would draw my line there with a relationship if it ever happens, no matter how much it hurts me or the others therefore it is important to discuss issues and communicating well with each other to keep the relationship going. It has to be a commitment from both party from the beginning. Problems will never go away if we dont voice out our disagreement or clarify things Many people say you have to forgive and forget but for me this does not work as at the back of my mind i will always feel betrayed and it would not be healthy in a relationship. I cannot pretend and i do not want to pretend and i do not want to fear to speak about doubts and tackle issues that upsets me. I dont deal well with uncertainty, for me there is a solution to every problem if one sits and discuss about it. At times i can be very stubborn on my views but if it is reasonable i normally accept it and work on it to improve.

I want to be in a relationship that i can be open about things and not be fearful what it might impact if i voice out my fear. I want to be able to express myself freely and do things together as a team.Dont expect me to be a door mat as it will never work. I belief in mutual understanding and building a relationship together.

What character that i see in you that has made me attracted to you, i guess you are fun to be with as you love life, good looking, straight forward, caring, able to express your feelings openly and i guess treat relationship with maturity, understanding and lots of love and who has a vision in live.

Well the rest of your good points is yet to be analyzed as only time and understanding each other further we will be able to know.

I am sorry if i am too early in letting you know what i expect and my intention of the relationship but i prefer to be clear from the begining at least you will know if this will work or not at your end and we do not over expect something which might not happen because we are two different individual who needs to understand each other to make it work.

Well thats all about me, i would like to know more about your expectation, wants, desire and etc.

I am glad i was able to spend sometime to revisualizes what i want and express my feelings towards you.

have a nive trop to your family and make sure you keep safe cos you have a friend that cares already merry xmas in advance and try your best to keep in touch i promise to email you everyday ok

The scammers are manipulative and don't always give up easily. He'll probably try to convince you that he isn't a scammer.

I too was in contact with a sergreant gregory carson jordan, for about 3 weeks, he told me he was in the parachute regiment, in the special allied forces. He totally flattered me as well, and sent pics of himself and his kids, but when i asked him anything personal he refused to answer the questions!! Which made me suspicious, but i played along with him, to see how far he was prepared to go, he was very full on with his emotions which scared me a bit. I was also asked to contact the general, which i did, and then received correspondence back, i was asked to send documents, which i refused to do, but then had to send cerification to say that i would accept military regulations, which i found very strange, but played along. I sent an o2 voucher for the text communication, i did only receive 4 texts from him.
Then, he told me about the calling communication which would cost me money, which i couldn't understand, i asked him about skype, he told me they couldn't get skype, which i told him they could as i had seen it before, then i decided to dig further, and found out about the scamming.

All the details he gave me, are the same as the lady who was in correspondence with him for 9 weeks. I also know about a few others who have sussed him out.
They are very unscrupulous people, who have no morals whatsoever. I have also contacted the dating site to inform them.

Hi There, I too was approached by this guy only he also uses the name "Frederick Burton". its definitely the same guy as he once sent me an e-mail under the gregory carson who I'd never heard of. He also signed it "love Greg xx" which was another thing to set my alarm bells. I had already googled frederick burton as I had a feeling something wasn't right as he was way over the top with his emotions. he also sent me pics of a man in military dress and also pics of a man with 2 young children. I doubt this photo is of him. He told me he was in the US special forces. the uniform is actually Technical Sergeant US Air force ( i searched that too) . Like the other lady said also, when I asked him questions he never answered or he "lost connection" I also questioned why he lost connection all the time which is not usual in this day of technology. The more i questioned him the more distant he got also. He told me Greg Carson was a friend who's computer he was using but he didn't have to sign "greg". The e-mails that he sent to these other ladies are identical to the ones he sent me, almost word for word. He never actually asked me for anything, he probably would have as he asked me to drive to Wales to wave him off for an Arabian country. His job changed from day to day also. (obviously he was losing track of who he was meant to be) Wales is over 400 miles away and he really expected me to go there overnight. His profile is on Girls date for free website as cutiefreddie46, check him out and see if this is the photo you got also. His profile changes all the time also, one day he lives in cambridgeshire and he is widowed, now he is divorced and lives in aberdeen. He's not very bright. He kept saying he was desperate to meet me but any time I suggested phoning he "lost connection" it was all too suspicious to me. He kept going on and on about meeting me soon to discuss "us". Obviously he thought I was being sucked in to his little scam. Anyway he knows now he's been caught out. Sad little person

Welcome Jinty!

I just love it when scammers get their characters mixed up--it makes it so much easier for their potential victims to recognize.

I doubt this photo is of him.

It's not. He copied a photo of an American soldier from online somewhere. He is an African, most likely living in Africa or Malaysia, and has very possibly never been to the U.S. in his life.

Like the other lady said also, when I asked him questions he never answered or he "lost connection"

That's because he doesn't want you to figure out that he isn't American.

he probably would have as he asked me to drive to Wales to wave him off for an Arabian country.

Actually, he has no desire for you to travel anywhere, though he won't care if you do--because he won't be wherever you go anyway. He doesn't want to meet you, and if he suggests a meeting, it's only the beginning of a setup for a money request. For example, he may set up a meeting, then follow-up with a convenient accident on the way--and your money will be needed in order to ensure he gets life-saving surgery. Or he may be arrested by customs because he was bringing you an expensive gift, and you will need to bribe someone to get him out.

I have also been scammed by the "so called" Sergeant Gregory Carson Jordan since the 22nd December 2010. His e mail address is [email protected] and he uses a mobile phone number 07516120970 (yes I was stupid enough to buy a voucher for him).
He "was deployed to Afghanistan on the 3rd of January 2011". Told me he was widowed with two young children aged 7 and 5 called Trinity and Adam.
Sends lovely e mails and very loving on MSN-this guy is ultra convincing. One of the photos he uses has the name Jordan on the uniform that he is wearing. He makes out that he is in the US army, but one of the photos used shows a man in the uniform of a technical sergeant in the US Air force!
Needless to say I am no longer in contact with him.
The mails that he sent to me match almost word for word those sent to member susimac. I discovered several other women who were also in his clutches by nosing around his profile on msn messenger--cannot do that anymore because he has now blocked me.

Hi, yes I've had some contact from this guy saying he is Frederick Burton. He contacted me on Friends Reunited Dating. After asking him a few times where he was from he said he his Mum was Italian but his Dad was English and he moved to England when he was young. He says all the things everyone else said in his emails. All of the above, he's in the army been posted to Afgan, two young children etc etc. But what made me suspect him was that his grasp of English was so terrible, no way he had an English Dad. One minute it would be almost degree level like he'd copied text from a book next it would be really bad !!. Thank God for this site or I would have been drawn in further. I doubt if I would have parted with any money but it's just a bit humiliating to be fooled, even for a short time, for a scammer like this. Thank you ScamWarners

I am sorry you got scammed sandieevans. It is good that you are not in contact with this scammer any more. As you and cherrysfeet have noted, the messages are the same. Scammers use a script and try to adapt it to minor changes in your story. The are lazy criminals. The do lift letters, poems and other writings from internet sites. This is one way to verify that they are scammers and not deep thinking, caring people. Search a sentence or paragraph from a letter and you will find the source of the fine writing.

We are glad that each of you are here. Your story will be helpful to others.

I was approached by Samuel Jordan today on a dating website...militarycupid.com
Same thing what you ladies said, what put a red flag was he didn't address me by my name, and he was very general in his email..as if he could copy and paste the email to any of the woman on this weblink.
He was extremely charming, too good to be true. I'm glad I researched him...I couldn't find a "Jordan" in facebook that matched the face of the pictures he sent me. I can definitely tell you the last name and the pictures are real but someone stole this persons identity and luring single woman to fall in love with him. He's most likely from Africa or something. Please make sure ladies to tell your male friends to block their My Space or Facebook profile, anyone can come in and copy and paste their picture. I wish I could find out who the real "Jordan" is so he can be notified of this terrible act. Also it's illegal to impersonate a military person and they could go to jail for it. I hope someone can unmask this guy soon.

Welcome to Scamwarners.
Catching anonymous scammers in West African Internet cafes is just about impossible, I'm afraid. And personally, I wouldn't want to know that a scammer was using my photos. I'd be angry and frustrated with nothing I could do about it.

This guy is at it again, but he's changed his story somewhat. He's now MSgt. Samuel Jordan. But according to this posting: http://militarygear.com/asp/2010/07/28/ ... ment-95547 - it is the very same guy. Guess I am the latest victim. Glad I found this posting before it went any farther.

Hi.
I been chatting last 2-3 weeks with a US army Sgt Samuel Johnson Jordan.
From day one is that he loves me and he wants to married me. First I met him in the dating web site Badoo under another name. When I asked him he said that he was using his friend's.... he asked me to get the BlackBerry Messanger app.
He gave me his Facebook and added me as a friend. Even in Skype under Sam15
In facebook he has pictures of him and his daughter....
From day one been a few things that they don't add to his history.
He said that he is from Pueblo, Colorado but, when he send me a voice message it sound it like a person impersonate the American accent but, in a really bad way.
A few days later he is telling me that he is going to Nigeria because of some mission. When he arrives there started complaining of the heat and, that he wants to meet me and asked me to contact his commander to ask for his granted leave. In that moment he says to me that is going to be some money.
Bells started to ring in my ears and I played him all around.
I received an email from Commander William Thomas who, said to me, I need to pay 2,800 pounds.
I said to "Samuel" that I don't have the money so, he asks his commander for help. Completely unsureal, the commander who is a very nice block, promises give more than half. So el Sgt tells me to send just 1,000 pounds.
I complained that I don't have that amount of money and, he finish asking me for 250 pounds.
Now.... I don't know why I send it. They day he said to me he was going to be flying to London, in the last minute, Commander announce that it needs to be more money
I exploded, man a big fuss and I even get so dramatic that, I said I was going to kill myself
One of his mistakes is, that he posted the pic of "him" and two kids. His explanation, the boy is his best friend son.... funny, because looks exactly like him.
I know is not the guy in the pictures but, my concern is that they are using a bloke personal pictures with his kids.
I got all the message copied in my email. I got copies of all his pictures.
I still talk because, after how deepl is his love for me, I want to see where is going. He promises me he is a man of honour and keeps saying that he is the best that happened in my life, and he will come.
When I asked him where he lives, he said in Alaska. I Google how many army bases are there, it says 3 but, not one where he says to me
When I confronted him, he started swearing that he is real, that he doesn't need to prove nothing.... he made me even think twice were if he can be honest.
But, he been playing things around like they aren't aloud to have cell phones (because I asked him for a picture of him), that he doesn't have this or that....
The only thing is doing is asking me to trust him and repeating that he hates liers.....
Beware of this two names SAMUEL JOHNSON JORDAN & WAYNE ADDT JOHNSON.... at least is the two I know

If he has any real info about you, including an email address that you use for any purpose other than baiting scammers, drop him. You are dealing with a dangerous criminal. He is in Nigeria, but he may know someone near you who would not hesitate to kill you if you piss him off.

What email addresses do they use?
