Military Consumer Month 2018: Fight Imposter Scams

Yes that's true a lot of scam going on they will be caught

Useful information to know! Everybody has the potential of being scammed.

I’ve been scammed by a guy posing as an American army animal care sergeant posted in sambisa rain forest he kept asking me for money claiming it was for Internet data to talk to me as couldn’t get to his bank account who do I report this to? Yours faithfully Mishel

Yeah Bobby someone is chatting on me recently and he said he was from USA and a US Army too who assigned in Afghanistan and he asking my personal info just to send his money to me.. and it kinda weird that someone who you just met online sending all of his money? such idiot

Really it is very sad to hear about the scams. But i hope this awareness will make to stop the scam

I trying to find a man with last name Thomas I want to let him know that he is been hacked, also someone scammer on me also I though it’s was him but it’s not! I need your help , how do I find real Thomas? To let him know that he is been hacked and stolen his profile!

I've been texting with this person for 2 years, he was in Syria, took leave in Jan 2018, he's in Ghana now, he supposed to came back states but didn't, he received money two times for flight ticket, said it was stolen both times, he's still in Ghana, I have phone number he text from, he goes by name Thomas Sanders, Jeff Sanders, Miltary man, from Texas, so he said!!!is their any input or information on him,

have you ever encountered the us soldier michael zamora? he is trying to send me his cash bonus in a luggage coz terrorists in iraq ara trying to get it from him. he wants to get my name and address but I refused.

I can't believe how foolish I have been in forming an online relationship with a USA Soldier based in Afghanistan. I didn't want to face the possibility that he is a scammer. Yet I need to acknowledge that it's highly probable that I have been a victim. Is there an easy process to use to inform the military about the problem??? There should be a way to notify the Army about their soldier using scamming tactics to get money from vulnerable women. Surely they would like to know what is going on and even arrange for refunding the money he acquired through deception. The shame I feel is awful yet I think it's important to let people know so others won't get duped in the same way. How do I go about notifying the appropriate agency/people etc???

One of them sounds like the guy I have been talking g to since January said he was a leiuteant in army in syria said his wife is dead and has a son in California was supposed to come home in july but didn't said he got promoted to general in Nigeria I stopped texting him on hangouts said his name was Michael Morgan

I also was taken by someone saying he was a soldier in Kandahar Afghanistan. lots of pictures in his profile and his name was Nicholas J Townsend. That was between end of September and October. I really thought I was talking to a real soldier. He got me, and I sent him $2700.00 He was going to send me lots of money for me to hold for him with some one call David Geary until he could come to the USA. But he needed some money for a certificate in order to get here with no problem. Then he said He needed another $8700.00 for something else. That's when I woke up of this nightmare. I try looking for this soldier's picture but no luck. I feel like a real stupid jerk. and very ashamed of myself.

There is a youngkaren6 On Instagram looks legit, saying she is in Afghanistan, she chatted through WhatsApp, and asked me to load a iTunes card so she can get a flight. I haven't transferred anything but that person is still on Instagram, and use an American phone number

In a relationship with general Austin Scott Miller. Needs money to get his money released from U.N. IS this a scam?

I have been in a relationship with a man for a year and a half who started out as someone in the Army in a peacekeeping mission in Iraq. He says he is a professional soldier who is 59. He is now saying he is actually a mercenary. He has asked me for a little help along the way but nothing much to speak of. He now says he wants to come home and is finished with his mission. He needs $500 for a plane ticket and $250 for transportation to the airport where he is and then when he gets home. I don't mind helping with that but wonder if he is for real. I have read that mercenaries have to pay for their own way to and from and don't really know what to think about this guy. He said he doesn't have access to his funds until he gets home and can sign all of the documents he needs to in order to get paid. He has a daughter and mother who are in North Carolina according to him. I have done a reverse search on his pictures but can't find anything on him. His name is James Cagle. His email is cagle. cagle@ . Has anyone every heard how things work with mercenaries? Should I help him home or is it a scam? Frustrated and wondering what to do.

Be on the outlook ladies for Williams Frank Mike also known as George Parker who is station in Syria he has a son who is in boarding school but needs itune cards to update his phone and download music while serving. Carl Christopher who is in Syria working for the UNICEF needs information to, so he can send his money to you but needs 550.00 dollars to send his money. He is from Germany has a son who is in boarding school in NY. These guys are sending friend request on Facebook and talks to you for a while on messenger and then once you start talking to them on the app Hangouts they promise you the world, money, traveling, romantic saying, pictures and will even call you on your phone using the video camera but for some reason most of the time it is because of security they say is the reason you can't hear them and then on day 3 or so they will text you with some kind of a emergency they need your help with money and will even tell you their children needs the money for lunch or school. When I google the questions they would ask....It was a scam. So I would do a screenshot and send it to them and boy they don't like that. They become very upset ! Thank goodness I did NOT send any money to them. I am sending this in hopes that it helps someone out. Oh and if you mention seeing people getting scam from the news or TV shows they don't like that either.

General Austin Scott Miller asking for Business Plan because he has millions in the bank from crude deals he made in Asia . Bogus Twitter Account. I think they are using him to get to women because he is handsome

Do anyone talk to a David Luis also a soldier in Afganistan? He is on instagram with few photos

A General Douglas Miller has been trying to get 3000 from to fly to LA. Sent a picture of Austin S. Miller from a few years ago. The scam is really good loving and flowery C omments send poems and songs. I hope you catch him.

well, someone named General Austin Miller , started a Words with Friends game with me, then looked me up on FB messenger today, but only entered his name as Austin Miller when I asked for his email address , he said I am not his mate and called me a jerk. and deleted all his information. Tell me if I was a high official with the US army would I be posting my name as General Austin Miller....nope maybe I would use A. Miller or perhaps my second name,

How can I find the guy I'm talking on email and hangouts it's real a military guy . He tell me his name and he tells me he is a Sargent commander in Kabul Afghanistan?

I have been in online relationship with General Austin Scott Miller for several months. After retiring he is flying from Afghanistan to meet and marry me. He was suppose to be here two weeks ago for a vacation but had to postpone because his retirement would be pushed back if he took a vacation now. His flight is 21 hours long and will arrive here tonight.

I have been contacted by General Austin Miller trying to scam me out of money to ship their things home for safe keeping but any who has common sense knows if they where there on deployment then the Government will send there things home but they tried to tell me there was Gold in with all their paper work

He tried me too ladies. Said his wife and son are dead and he is raising his grandson. He stated that he would be retiring at the end of this year and he is looking to settle down. This man is using General Miller's military history like it's really his own. He was texting about what he wants in a wife any everthing. But what got me was some of the misspelled words. A man that educated is not going to misspell simple words. Something just didn't seem right. He's emailing me from austinmilla7410@gmail.com on Hang Out. I don't know if that's the same email address he used to email you.
