Hi my name is Vicki and I think I am in the middle of a scam at the moment. He says his name is Lt Col James Tingstrom currently deployed in Afganistan, he has sent photos and lots of emails including leave forms and on them it says civilians will have to pay a fee for airflights etc but only a a small token amount. Havent got to the amount stage as I haven't sent the forms back. the email address for this guy is a yahoo one and the address to send leave forms to is US ARMY ([email protected])

can anyone help me as to what to do next.

Vicki. Loosen up and pay attention. If you scroll to the top of this page, the site search is on the right side. Type in the words, military scam, army leave or something similar. The results that show on the screen will amaze you. All the scams have a familiar theme to them.
There is no soldier writing to you. The scam artist is fooling around and wasting your time. Civilians do not pay for anything on the military directly. The armed services (like other government departments) are funded by some of our taxes that we all pay. Members of the military are transported around by the military wherever they are needed. When they have leave available, the military takes care of the expenses etcetera. People telling you different are liars.
The site you mention is a typical scam site. I notice the naughty Nicole has only registered the site for the bare 12 month minimum amount of time.
What to do next, you ask? You would be very wise to simply cease all communications with the shifty trickster. Don't give any rhyme or reason, it's best to simply stop communicating with it. Everything the scam artist has told you is a lie.
