Hi, Let me tell you my story. I am mature woman who considered myself very savvy when it came to scams, but I really got scammed royally. I have been unemployed for the last 7 months so I don't have a lot of money. I started talking to someone who calls Donald White (Dee) who claims to be a staff sargeant in the U.S. Army in Black Ops in Afghanistan. He sent me a message on the website Tagged.com and he said he was from Inman. SC. That intrigued me since I am originally from SC also. We started communicating through
Yahoo Messenger. Within about a week, he was talking about us talking on the phone. He was talking about these classified military phones. After I would pay the fee of $800 we could talk to our hearts content. I told him I couldn't afford it since I didn't have a job. So he dropped it. A few weeks later, miraculously, the price dropped to $550 for Christmas. The email below is what was sent:

So, here comes Don's commander (Cmdr Clifford) to the rescue. Don says he has no money and no one to get money from his bank account in SC. So the commander pays %2000 and they ask me to pay the remaining balance of $135 plus my portion. I took money out of retirement to pay this plus the fees for sending the Moneygram which ended up costing me $1405.
I sent a few more emails because neither of us were getting these so called phones. I cancel the order and ask for all my money back. They have started ignoring my emails and no responses are forthcoming. In the meantime, Don seems to be losing interest!!!! There's more to this story but I am getting tired now.
I'm sure there is nothing I can do now to get my almost $2000 back. But it feels good to get this down in writing. Thank you for listening.
