		<description>For Rachel Green:  I do believe that was a scam. Military men do not need money for communications or for any other reason from civilians. Check with Sgt Robert McLaughlin on 101.Date Fake Soldiers if you want but he posts everything on there you need to know for free. You can check with Military.Law.com also for a fee on any military question you need to know. Our Military men do not ask for money from civilians. Good luck to you.</description>

		<description>I have met who I thought was an honest man in the military, guess what? He is using the name Mike Brooks and his email is Mike_Brooks2013@yahoo.com. Well he thought he could charm me and he did for a moment, until I did a little searching of my own and this is what I found.

My name is Mike Brooks.I was born on the 09 of September, 1956 at Baptist Hospital of Florida. I started A &amp; A Children Academy at 6 and later on continued from Calvary Baptist Church Schools. I was very playful at school and it affected my academic works. I joined the Military academy at the age of 18 I was in the boarding school so my parents visit me once in a while. I didn’t spend much time at home. My mom was a head teacher and dad was in the medical field.
I fought in the Gulf war in 1990 to 1991. The gulf war was fought to liberate Kuwait from autocratic rule of the late Saddam. I had a pretty bad experience.
I am an E-6 Staff Sergeant (SSG). I also act as a platoon sergeant in the absence of the Sergeant First Class. I am the leader of my squad. I am a non commission officer and I work in the junior management of the military.
When back to the States, I found out that my ex betrayed my love by going in for another man. She cost me a lost. She misused my properties so I paid her off.
I will be home in 3 months. Actually, we are not allowed to communicate with outsiders because of security reasons but I need a woman for myself. A woman that will be there for me and I will be there for her too. I will not be able to call you because we are not allowed to communicate with outsiders on phone. Everything is monitored.

This was used by other so called men in the military, using different names and ranks, different DOB&#039;s and different home states.

I am so thankful for the internet, because you could find any info on anyone to see if it is true. I was fortunate to pick up on this and I hope other woman are smart and take advantage of the internet also, believe it is your friend and it will find those nasty scammers.

I have since deleted any and all information of this person from my computer.</description>

		<description>Ladies as well as Gents Please PAY ATTENTION

Real Us Service members will NOT need your Money for any reason they have access to their own accounts at all times yes even in the war zone there will be no freeze on their accounts for ANY reason
Real Service members will NOT Beg a stranger for money for ANY reason
Yes they can use a webcam even if they are special ops
Real Us Service members will understand things like Mos AAfes or Les and SGLI Scammers will NOT
Real Service Members will NOT be on any site soliciting you for any dates many have families and have no time for Facebook or any other sites NONE Many do NOT and will NOT Post Pics anywhere due to them being stolen by scammers and used to scam Men and Women out of Money
Many Us Service members are No Longer in Iraq
All Service members ARE allowed to receive mail and care packages scammers will say different
All US Military members have a military email account and they may use it when they want scammers will say different because they are frauds
US Military does NOT and will not use free email accounts of any kind they also do NOT Use Western Union or Moneygram for any reason
Any Us Service member that asks you for Money for any reason is A FRAUD A SCAMMER plain and simple
The US Military takes care of its own
Scammers hate being asked questions they cannot answer

Always insist after the first email to see their military id as well as their state id card or drivers license and no photoshopped crap and not the same pic the scammer sent you to begin with because the scammer will NOT be able to produce a id card pic as State Id cards cannot be photoshopped if they are its not hard to tell
for instance if the scammer sends you a pic of the soldier or sialor they are impersonating the pic thats on the state Id should not be the same pic of the soldier or sailor in uniform PAY attention always

pay attention to their grammer they always have spelling errors they NEVER type nor speak like Americans also insist that you hear their voice they cannot hide their accents

US Military will not be in a place like Nigeria nor Ghana Watch the news There Is no base in Nigeria not even tents NONE

Diplomats or anyone in the US supposedly collecting money for the service member SCAM

Bottom Line REAL US Service Members Or Military members Period will NOT need your Money for any reason

ALL Real Military Members have a Military email account ending in .Mil anything beyond .Mil is a FRAUD

US Military does NOT use free email accounts nor do they Use Western Union or Moneygram BUT Scammers do.

Leave these Scammers and their sorry asses and their life and sob stories with absolutely NOTHING…

And stay on your toes because after troops withdraw from Afghan these scammers will come up with other lies and sob stories but stay vigilant NEVER send money to anyone you do not know even charities as many of them are scams as well.

Example of an email I received from a scammer impersonating a Marine until I called him on his BS this is just an example of the silly type of crap they will type…

Thanks you so much for the mail you sent me on tagged,well I am a down to earth person even if the marines thought us to be tough and strong,I have had a really straight life until now that I realise that I don’t have anybody to call my own family,I have never been married and I lost my dad two years ago,I also have a 63 years old mother who is my only source of joy.I just realised I wasted my life and I should have looked for you earlier in life..I will love to know more about you and I hope I will hear from you soon..Love Thomas</description>
