Internet Dating Scam: Fake Soldiers

I just came across a post on “A Soldier’s Perspective” discussing a rather disgusting and disturbing trend that has guys posing as soldiers on Internet dating sites. Here’s the quote from CJ’s:

The latest trend involves trolling internet dating sites and convincing women that they are honorable Soldiers who have fallen in love and would do anything to communicate with the object of their affection. But, because they are deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq, they need you to sign up for an expensive telecommunications service like “Military TELEX” in order to make that happen. They profess unending love as their motivator and, unfortunately, many women have fallen for it.

The BIG red flag here is that the guy is asking for money. NEVER fall for that con.

If you come across anyone on a dating site who is asking you for money, regardless of the reason; block them immediately from further contact and then report them to the internet dating service.

You can also check out who is really behind their email address…

AND / or their telephone number…

To read specific details about about one incident, read CJ’s post “The New Military Dating Scam”.

    To Kathleen: Out of curiosity I checked some of the Facebook profiles you gave on Aaron Ramos. I checked three different ones he has, and info on him in each is a little different. one he has his name reversed I noticed he has many women friends on two of them and even a Pastor on one. Makes me wonder if he is scamming all these people. Only one I found, where he only has one friend on it, which was what my scammer did to me. I had a bad feeling for her.Most likely he is zeroing in on her. Thanks for posting your info.

  4. Just wanted to remind everyone that scammer are on all the sites. I started talking to this guy from tagged.com. He wanted to know eveything about me. I got this weird feeling. I told him that I didn’t think it was going to work and to please remove me from his list.

    He pulled the I love you card. I told him bs and deleted him. I later looked more closely at his profile. someone had posted on there that he had done the samething to her. I emailed her a thank you.

    Be careful and have a great weekend.

    Susan

    TO EEFGE: I AM SO SORRY DEAR BUT I CANNOT FIND RECEIVING YOUR EMAIL. I YOU WOULD TRY SENDING AGAIN, TO = marodgers43@gmail.com, ILL LOOK FOR IT AGAIN. THANKS.

  6. Margaret Rodgers says

    TO BEVERLY: REGARDING SGT LEE PRESTON – YES I KNEW HE WAS A SCAMMER WHEN HE CAME AT ME ON “ARE YOU INTERESTED”. FUNNY DURING MY INVESTIGATIONS ON WALTER I CAME ACROSS PRESTON.. I FIRST SAW PRESTON ON SHYTLE.FM ONY HE WAS USING THE NAME WILSON AND WHILE LOOKING FOR THE PICTURE WALTER HAD PRESENTED TO ME, I SAW THE PICTURE PRESTON WAS USING POSTED AS A KNOWN SCAMMER.. I HAVE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT SCAMMERS AND i CAN ALMOST TELL THEM RIGHT AWAY. NOW. I TRUST NO ONE. I HAVE NO DOUBT HE WAS UGLY. I WOULD GUESS ALL OF THEM ARE. I DON’T KNOW WHY I HURT SO MUCH OVER WALTER, I KNOW HE IS PROBABLY ONE THAT IS UGLY TOO. I GUESS WHEN I FELL IN LOVE I DIDN’ T KNOW THIS, IT WAS THE SOLDIER IN THE PICTURE ALONG WITH READING THE WORDS ON SCREEN. SO HARD TO COPE WITH LOVING A PHANTOM, TO FACE THE TRICKERY AND LIES .BUT AT LEAST I PISSED WALTER OFF. PRESTON DISAPPEARED AFTER I SENT THE LETTER SAYING I WAS A MEMBER OF N.L. W..A.S. AND HE WOULD HAVE TO ANSWER SEVERAL QUESTIONS AND BE INVESTIGATED. HAVEN’T SEEN THAT PICTURE ANYWHERE NOW. I KNOW OFCOURSE HE WILL USE A NEW ONE AND NEW NAME, THAT’S WHAT THEY DO.

  7. Margaret Rodgers says

    TO ALL; AM PROUD TO ANNOUNCE I DROVE WALTER BRUSTON STRAIGHT TO THE LOONEY HOUSE. I PLAYED WITH HIS MIND SO BAD, TEASING HIM WITH PROMISES OF MONEY, AND THEN NEVER SENDING IT. HIS LAST APPROACH WAS HE WAS RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE AND SOMEONE WAS TRYING TO KILL HIM AND HE HAD NO MONEY FOR SHELTER OR FOOD AND I WAS HIS ONLY HOPE TO STAY ALIVE. IT WENT FROM $6000 TO
    $150. HE BEGGED ME FOR IT SAYING HE WAS BORROWING EVERYDAY AND OWED THE HOTEL AND FOR AIR TIME ON THE COMPUTER. OH AND THE MANAGER IN THE CAFE WHERE THE COMPUTER WAS , WAS KIND ENOUGH TO LET HIM JUST COME ON FOR FREE TO SAY HELLO TO ME. HE WAS ACTUALLY ASKING ME TO SUPPORT HIM WITH $500 A WEEK. I SAID I DON’T EVEN LIVE ON $500 A WEEK.AND ALL WHILE CLAIMING TO STILL BE A SOLDIER.!!! HE ADMITTED HE WAS NOT AMERICAN BUT WOULD NOT SAY ANYTHING FURTHER HE ALSO ADMITTED HE LIED ABOUT WHAT THE $3000 WAS FOR AND SAID HE LIVED ON SOME OF IT AND THE REST WAS FOR “PERSONAL USE”!!!!NO ANSWER TO MY ASKING WHAT WAS THE PERSONAL USE.. I THEN CAUGHT HIM ONLINE FOR 25 MINS AND CALLED HIM ON IT. I TOLD HIM TO “F” OFF AND HE TOTALLY CRACKED UP. WENT SCREAMING OFF LINE WITH FU’S ABOUT EIGHT X’S IN A ROW AND I WAS A LUNATIC 8X’S IN A ROW. I WAS A CRAZY WOMAN AND A SADDIST TOO (WHATEVER THAT IS) AND HE “HATED ME WITH PASSION”!! AS I SAT AND READ WHAT HE WAS SAYING WITHOUT RESPONDING BACK AS HE WROTE, HOT TEARS FLOWED DOWN MY FACE, AND IT FELT LIKE AN ICE PICK INTO MY HEART READING THIS COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO HAD PROFESSED UNDYING LOVE TO ME OVER AND OVER. I WROTE THANK YOU FOR HATING ME, YOU HAVE DONE ME A FAVOR AND HAVE RELEASED ME FROM BONDAGE. HE’S BEEN GONE NOW SINCE MONDAY. MY TIME WITH THIS ONE LASTED EXACTLY 6 MOS ALMOST TO THE DAY.

  8. hello u ladies get over it they just one of them scammer. we felt for it but hey grow up n check out and the truth no military guys will do that

  9. He’s on a few sites listed as a fake.

  10. Butch8879 on topix is a fake soldier. Beware. He is a cyber bully and obessive stalker. People has tryed to low rank him and report him for two years. He made false statements on many people. All these stories of being stationed in another country for two years he can’t even tell us what military he’s in rank or show a military photo so it all adds up that he could be a fake..

  11. Beverley new zealand says

    good Kathleen I caught one on FB going by name of Louis Yenter whom I previously listed on here as Brig General Mark Yenter I hope he has gone as I reported him Cheek of that piece of pig swill on there

  12. scammers at the moment are sending e mails about ”you have won money like Western Union”
    or want one to invest in a project or a woman is dying and has to sort out where to leave her money
    Did you know Western Union red flag scammers or the senders sometimes too

  13. eefjer Scammers go on holdiday? Never they go 24/7

  14. to all
    is it posible the scammers have vacation too?
    or “no news is good news”?
    that would be awsome, but the best news would be;
    they got busted
    they are unemployed
    No woman falls for them ever again
    😉
    if i go on vacation, i’ll leave my laptop @home, (if i can 😉 )

    Happy Summer to all

  15. Kathleen says

    I caught 2 the last few days on Facebook..
    the names are
    Michillary Donnel and Cap David Philip Mike.
    Both professed undying love and I kept talking to them and when the asked for money to fill in a request for leave form I new they were scammers. When I asked them for their ID they just left….
    Please to say they are no longer on FB..
    I have my eye on a few more…

  22. Margaret Rodgers says

    For All: John Mark asked me where Walter Bruston contacted me and I said on Facebook. I now have a Mark Davis who just popped up on my chat message board out of nowhere and began a conversation un-invited. Asking a lot of nosy questions. I suspect JohnMark/MarkDavis/RichardWison/ are all the same scammer. Posting this so all can be aware of these names. Highly suspicious scenarios.

  23. Margaret Rodgers says

    To Robert: I have only so far had my most experience with Walter Bruston, who did use the Nigerian election to say his CO said he had to stay and cover the election. I did follow the election on Yahoo News right along each day as he supposedly was doing this. He stated it was over right as it actually was. Of course if he is Nigerian then he would have known all the right answers. Walter is extremely well informed and very clever. I have a very hard time at trippin him up. Walter Bruston whom I believe to be the 3rd one now, is coming at me with a brand new stradgedy which is absolutely unreal. Would take too much time at the moment, so will get back with that one.
    I do want to post I have a John Mark on Shytle.fm posing as a US Army soldier and in his profile stated he was “Native American” and he looks pure English/Irish/Scottish descent. I asked him from what tribe of Native American was he, and he came back and said he did not understand what I meant..??? I believe he is also the same scammer Richard Wilson who said he was Native American also.

  24. Margaret Rodgers says

    Everyone: Found something today. On Shtyle.fm dating site there was a picture of a soldier going by the name of Richard Wilson. On another occasion I was looking through the pictures listed of known scammers and came across that picture and never forgot it. Today I was approached on Are You Interested dating site which is connected to Facebook by this same person – well same picture – only he is using the name Sgt. Lee Preston. States he is 45yrs old, from Maryland, USA.( I couldn’t wait to tell you all this) Goes on to say he is in “us army force”,? haha and is in Afghanistan working for his country and moves around a lot due to his job. Has all the greatest attributes one person could ever have of course.Says he is looking for someone for wedlock, to take a chance on him, and see where fate would take us. He has found my profile most fascinating. Funny some of the wording jolted my memory of some of the exact same things Walter Bruston had said six mos ago. Now some of his activities are ( and I have to wonder how he could do these things in this country) going to movies, playing Volleyball, dining out at nice restaurants, going to the beach, and he just happened to pick all the things in my profile listed I like to do. So i wrote him a letter and said:
    Sir: I must inform you before I can communicate with you that I am a member of the N.L.W.A.S (National League for Women Against Scammers) and that due to the influx of scammers into the United States posing as soldiers our new by laws are as follows: A. You must email from your military email address ending in .mil. B. Submit a recent picture holding a sign with the name of the person the picture is intended for. C. State your pay grade according to the rank you profess to be. Your information will be submitted and verified through our channels. If your information is found not to be legitimate, your profile will be reported to the the Federal Communications Commissions, and to the dating site in which you have appeared. So far as of this posting there has not been a response.
