Hi there my name is Ann,
I was on a dating sight call Mr Right which is mean to be an Australian dating sight. I have been talking to a Sgt Lewis Robb who said he was Iraq and asked me to request leave for him. he sent me a letter to send off stating his rank and unit number, when i sent it off too [email protected] attentioned to General Martin E. Dempsey, I received a leave form had asked for all sorts of information my mother maiden name and reason for leave and thing likes that and was told when corresponding to always sent it with Case file no:88787 and was told the leave would cost $480 AUD through WU to a Marie Johnson of 191 Swan Lane, Georgia 31826. Then that was granted. I was told that as he was not going home to the USA that his plane ticket needed to be paid for because the army personal were not able to access their accounts i was asked to provide this but due to my financial situation i was unable to come up with the full amount so Lewis stated that he asked his commander for help and this money needed to be sent to Marie Beatrice of 78-2-1 Jalan matang 2, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 51200. Then they asked for money to be sent for Beneficiary documents at a cost of $280. After all this Sgt Lewis Robb was mean to be on his way I was emailed his flight details with a ticket number but not the E-ticket number and he was flying through Emirates. I saw that the flight was delayed in Dubia by 20 min then at 3:55pm Brisbane Australian time i received an email from Marie Beatrice stating that he had been attacked by Taliban in Dubai UAE and that the US Military will not be responsible for the medical expenses incurred and has asked for $2700 and i told her that there would be no way i could come up with the money.I have kept all emails and from Lewis, photos and corresponding emails pertaining to him. But there was an other guy before this that claimed that he was in Iraq and hie name was PFC Repetto Lind Smith and he had also asked for an amount of $480 for leave but as he was just so pushy I blocked him and deleted all emails and conversations and pictures. Could you tell me if this is a scam please?

Yes this is DEFINATELY a scam! I was in the US Army and in Iraq and this is NOT how we go on leave. To go home on leave from Iraq is free. I am so sorry this happened to you. Count your losses and leave this as a lesson learned. Dont beat yourself to much though. This is a popular scam and many people fall for it.

Thank you Andy for getting back to me. I had asked him about it and he got defensive, saying OMG who said that and then i sent an email after that IM chat just letting him know what I thought of him and this other person claiming to be in the army helping to find the money for his medical bills just what i though and i has not tried to defend himself except that the fact i had insulted the lady that was try to help he that he had been crying and to thank me for everything that I had put him through. It is sad as like many of us had fallen in-love and that is way we are on the dating sites to find that special some one and this happens are there any genuine people out there?
Many thanks,
Ann

Yes, Charlotte73 it is a scam. If you have already not done so, may I direct your attention to the following post? viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6528 and many of your questions will be answered. The so called General mentioned in your post is a very well known name in scam-land.

If this makes you feel better i was scam too. They are very good at it. We just need to be that much better in spotting it. If it seems weird to you their request for money for things, then please go online and check. If you can't find it online. then this website is a God sent. Good luck
