Welcome,

I'm sorry to hear you were scammed. Hopefully if you did lose money it was not too much, but I know it is also heartbreaking when you think you have found love to discover it was all a lie.

I just want to make sure you do realize that no real member of the US military, current or retired, participated in this scam. There is also no diplomat (and the UN never uses gmail addresses). The ID's you were sent will be fakes, often based on real ID's from previous victims, but edited in photoshop or a similar application by the scammers.

The scammers, who were most likely African (it is possible all roles were played by the same scammer) just copied photos and biographical information from the internet. The reason the US military cannot do anything about it is because the scammers are not in the US. They are most likely really in Ghana, well out of the jurisdiction of the US military and other US law enforcement. (If you can post the full headers of one or more of his emails to you and he is not using a proxy, we might be able to confirm that he is in Ghana.) To make it even more difficult, the scammer most likely never used his real name during this scam--everything he told you about who and where he is was a lie, and he most likely ran his scam from a busy public internet cafe or other shared internet provider, where it is extremely difficult, even with local government cooperation, to identify the specific person who carried out the scam. With this many obstacles, it is sadly unlikely that the scammer will be caught and convicted of this cram.

If you are willing to post his emails, photos, etc. it will be very helpful in preventing others being scammed--and will also harm the scammer by reducing his chances of getting money from new victims.
