I was so foolish to believe this so called military major-general michael bednarek who claimed he is based in Kabul, Afghanistan, It was a fast act from him that I was asked to send his daughter money as he couldn't get to his account as army personnel is not allowed to leave camp. All our conversations were done on skype. His skype name:major-general michael bednarek, skype name:md.rasel2788. I never see him on video when I video call him from skype as he claimed that military doesn't allow them to use video over there. He is an expert with all his sweet words and poetry calling you dear, darling, angel, love, honey. Then he gets me to apply vacation leave for him to leave camp to visit me. I was foolish to fall for all his sweet words and did as he requested me to do so. I did and applied for him. Then I received reply back from usarmy vacation dept to pay USD4000 to process for his leave. Then after paying for the processing fee, another email stated that I need to pay USD45,000 to pay to book a jet for him. This amount is too much for me, he asked to neogtiate with them but I couldn't raise the amount and only raise USD2,000. He pretended to get his business manager to add in some amount and then get the usarmy vacation that Mr Felix Oshiooshio has sent the amount of USD12,000 to the dept on behalf of my husband and since I did not respond to the negotiation I needed to pay US4000 to book the jet.I was really foolish to crack my head to loan money from my good friend but I could only raise USD2,000plus. He asked me to send that amount and his friend would top up the remaining amount to raise it to USD4000. He said once the amount is paid he would be released from the camp but till today he is still in camp. How I suddenly realised he may not be the true military personnel like he claimed so when I keyed in the name major-general michael bednarek on the google -webpage and the truth emerge after reading your scamwarners webpage. Major-general michael bednarek photos and all about him I read on google. What a fool I am! i have never believed in online chitchatting and this is my first time chitchatting on skype with this so called conman. I felt so disheartened to think that at my age I am being cheated and conned.

After this payment, he still pretended to chat with me and telling me all lies but I have hinted to him that I am suspecting him. He still talked on but I know he is not real but I don't want to dispose to him that I I know his true identity. You know, he still asked me to send money to his business manager is sick now and if I could send USD200 to his manager. I told him downright that I have been foolish to send him all those money and now I don't have anymore money to send. He has stopped the chat but still pretending to sweettalk to me. I am waiting to see how long he is going to go on chatting with me. I think he suspect I don;t believe his words anymore as I will hint one or two sentence that I don't think so he is the real major-general michael bednarek. Anyway, the chatting is dying down cos he doesn't chat so often now.

Please don't laugh at me this foolish woman, okay. Imagine I have never believed in online chatting but only try this one time and I was conned by this people. He even sent me 3 photos of major-general michael bednarek which you can find from the army webpage.

I still cannot forgive myself for being so foolish.
