The only emails she did not delete from "John Martin" were the two emails that contained his photos. Working on getting the 3 photos hosted on photobucket. But yes, one of the photos is the photo from that facebook page just posted!

In his previous scams he went by the name of James Martin.

Yes, when I did a reverse image google search with 2 of the pictures the link to that thread came up. I thought that was my smoking gun. I thought that would be the proof she needed to believe me. I showed her step by step as i did the reverse image search and she still would not believe me. He has her brainwashed good.

here are copies of the emails from the "fake commander"

These are quite embarrassing to post as I feel most people would immediately know they are fake, but she is elderly and fell for it. I deleted anything with my aunt's name or email. Just left a "G" There are many more emails for the commander making more excuses and reasons to send money. For the Flight ticket, then for some tests they say he needs to get passed immigration...etc. I also found an email with the actual wire transfer she made for $1100 . Is there anything I can do without her consent to talk to Western Union, or report this to anyone? Thanks again for all your help.



I am very sorry about
everything that happened, i know he is very upset and i am
not happy either, but you need to understand i am raising
this $400 from my own pocket.

Thanks for the

question, had it been he waited for the military jet
which

might come in 2018 he wouldnt need anything like this but

since he has to travel on his own, the rules is he has to

pay for everything and the gov will reimburse him back as

soon as he gets to the stateside. I hope you understand
me

so much. I have tried my best am so sorry

Is there anything I can do without her consent to talk to Western Union, or report this to anyone? Thanks again for all your help.

You can report it to you local LE an IC3 https://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx

Sending money in any form will get to the scammer. This is what I'm talking about being a money mule.

There is not much you can do now besides briefing family and friends not to give her money.

Make it hard for her to send money. Alert surrounding Western Unions and Moneygrams. Ask for a supervisor. Tell them the story.

Then make sure she is not recruited into being a money mule or receiving stolen property. These can bring criminal charges.

Depending on her age you may have some other alternatives.

You can also have your local Law Enforcement or Social Services for the Older/seniors contact her.

i highly suggest local intervention Before she goes broke/homeless..

My sister in law is being scammed by this person also. He contacted her via KIK. He is telling her that his name is Paul Martins. He has a Facebook under the name Paul Martin with the same profile pic. https://www.facebook.com/martinspaul.cl ... 1487685144
My sister in law is in a nursing home. She is wheelchair bound, her husband earlier this year told her that he wanted a divorce and had started seeing another woman. My sister in law says she has been talking to this guy via text for about 2 months. Now to add more tragedy to this story,her husband passed away early Sunday morning. They have 4 boys ranging in age from 8-16 who are living with the paternal grandparents at this time. This Paul Martins is telling my sister in law that he is going to marry her, get a house and get her boys for her. He is promising her that he will also give her a baby girl which is something that she has always desperately wanted. The kicker is that he is trying to get her to send him $500 for this house. He is telling her that if she loves him that she will send the money to his agent. We can tell that the person sending the messages to her is foreign based on the grammatical errors and broken english. Also the KIK profile picture is the same one used for both Facebook profiles. Hopefully this will help your Aunt. I will also be printing all of the information to give to my sister in law.

I have been researching this scammer for days. The amount of information that I have found is mind boggling. I feel bad for the soldier whose photos are being used. There are multiple reports, facebook pages, email addresses, photos, etc. I'm gathering as much as I can to try to convince my sister-in-law that she is being scammed. I can share all of this information if I can figure out how to attach a word document. I started with an image search and went from there. I have even found others who have been scammed by him and a friend recognized his picture as someone who contacted her aunt on tinder. Some of his victims he tells he has a son and others a daughter as is pictured. There is a different picture that he shows of his son, but we haven't been able to get it yet. My sister-in-law guards her phone and it is difficult to get much out of her. This is very frustrating.
