Contacted by Generals on Skype. Believe it is a scam.

I believe I have been contacted by at least two scammers. They appear to have posted the same picture as their online id on Skype. Unfortunately the pictures are not clear. I am a recent widow of a man who served his country for >30 years. Since his death, I have been contacted by many who served with him to offer support. I believed these men were possible such persons. In our initial exchanges it became clear that neither man knew my husband or that i was a widow. Based on my assumption, I had already revealed some information. I threw in some military lingo to which there was no response. No military jargon in the exchanges. Marriage brought up in both cases. One exchange suggested that I needed to move on after only 6 months following a sudden death. Gen. Mark Wills with the Skype name mark.wills39 told me this was his work Skype name. Hubby never had an official Skype name nor do any of my neighbors. First mistake. His personal Skype name generalmarkwills had a picture suspiciously similar to another recent contact. I found this other contact on your board; frank.william with the Skype name frank.william237. Yahoo id [email protected]. He states he is a Brigadier General. He states he is in Afganistan. Mark Wills stated he is in Pakistan. IF anyone else knows of these ids and has information let me know. If indeed a scam, to whom should I pass the information?

Hello Jan. Please post these scammers here. Nothing can be done but they are earmarked. There are absolutely no Generals on Skype messaging strangers especially ones in Afghanistan or anywhere else. Mrs. Steele has over 90 Generals in a queue waiting to chat to her on Skype. Wow, and add yours and a few the others have had then we have more Generals in the US Army than Other Ranks! We like to have email addresses but we do use profile names to create test email addresses and it does invariably work.
[email protected] is no general and the photo is a photoshop job. The head is a well known picture used by scammers, and the head is too big for the body. The body is Sgt Major of the Army Kenneth Preston. I won't educate scammer and star the other big mistake.

He is hiding his true location by purposely hiding his IP. The writing style is of West Africa.
