Hello
my friend has been in contact from a guy from a dating site for a few weeks.
all the typical signs are there ie: broken english, falling in love very quickly. He claims to be an American soldier serving in Afghanistan, and also has an address in harrogate U.k supposedly. He claims to be a widower, with a son who lives in Colarado with his deceased wifes parents.
he has been pushy in trying to get my friend to come up with a sum of money to enable them to communicate by phone.
i know this is obviously a scam, but she is vulnrable and i want to deal with this the right way to minimise upset or bad feeling.
he gives his name as Jack Mccarthy, and the email header is below. i have checked three of his emails, and two orriginate from u.k and the last from lagos nigeria .
so please help give me any information on this scammer so i have some facts to present to my very good friend.
