This scammer who goes by the alias Thomas Smith is posing as an Orthopedic Surgeon taking care of US military personnel in Kabul Afghanistan. He claims he's with the 2 Command J9 and the head of his group. BEWARE!! I suspect he's using a script as I have found some of the exact words posted below in another posting on THIS site.

Below are some of his emails:

Ever since you walked into my life I have been smiling. There hasn't been a night when I have gone to sleep with a frown on my face, and
it's all because of you. Hun, I am glad that you came into my life. I have always wanted the love of my life to be understanding, loving,
caring, and faithful. I wanted someone who would accept me for who I am. I know that I've found that person in you. My heart told me that
my princess was there when I first said hello to you over on here. I didn't have to think twice if I asked you to be my soul mate. I knew that you were the perfect match for me. I don't think that there is, or that there ever could be, anyone better than you out there for me.

Yes I'm divorced because my ex wife broke my heart. Yes I have a lovely daughter who I love so much. I want to start a new life from you.

I try to put this feeling into words, but fail miserably. This feeling of being both scared and at peace, of having both butterflies and a
sense of calm, is a feeling that I have only dreamed about you. As the days continue to pass, my love for you continues to grow. I never
thought I had the capacity to love anybody as much as I love you right now. Yet, my love for you continues to mature, growing beyond the realm of my heart. It seems that you have become the fiber of my soul, the very reason for my existence.

Thanks for your time in responding to my note. You sound very sincere and special. If possible, I would love to get to know you. I decided to join this because of the loneliness time I experience last year till now, I pray things work out...

I am 38 and you?I will be back soon once we have less work on and my team can do without me.

I find much peace and tranquility on this site. I am very successfully and able to go anywhere in the world with the privilege my job gives to me. I`m the one and only born child of my parent, 5`9" 130 with a athletic build , mentally stable, physically fit, a bunch of laughs, warm, caring, honest, good listening, God Fearing, and a positive person.I am real easy person to talk to and a good listener. I enjoy chilling` with my love once, I like going to the movies , or watching movies in my room , I like swimming , fishing, listening to music and dance to any kind of music, traveling , going bowling and also a good cook, I also love wine tasting and love Golf. I can make crepes, pasta, Italian, and anything from scrape and my favorite are chips with chicken , shrimp , crab and rice . I am a family oriented person and There is more, but it would be better for you to find some things out for yourself.

I am really interested in wanting to know about what makes you the special person you are today, I want to know more about your family, your background, your life experiences, past relationships, your goals and dreams, your interests, and anything else you want to tell me.

I know that there is no barrier too great for God, when He chooses to bring two people together. I am at a point in my life where I would always be honest with the chosen one, and be there with the one God has for me 24/7. I look forward to hearing from you with anticipation. Distance is not for the fearful, it is for the bold. It's for those who are willing to spend a lot of time alone in exchange for a little time with the one they love. It's for those knowing a good thing when they see it, even if they don't see it nearly enough. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.To truly love something, you must first give it a chance to fail. If it survives, it is going to be stronger than ever. Distance is pure proof of this. So lets roll. We could get there.
Warmest Thoughts,

Thanks for posting! He is not in the military, California, or Afghanistan. He is in West Africa. Some of his messages are copy-pasted; others are written by him, with obvious African style.

Anyone who claims to be in the military and contacts you on a dating site is probably a scammer. Anyone who claims to be in the military and asks you to apply for his leave or a phone is certainly a scammer.
