➡️MILITARY ROMANCE SCAM⬅️
👹STRANGER = DANGER👹
Retired Lt. Gen. William B. Garrett III spent his 35-year military career stationed in posts around the world, AND NOW HE IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH GEORGIA !
Scammers do still use him, and still use him as a General and deployed.. HE IS NOT.. every contact who says they are William Garrett is a fake
~~
💔 NEVER ACCEPT A FRIEND OR FOLLOW REQUEST FROM A STRANGER
NEVER EVER GO TO A CHAT APP..AVOID HANGOUTS AND WHATSAPP
~
👎NEVER SEND ANYTHING TO ANYONE YOU HAVE NEVER MET IN PERSON. NEVER SEND ANYTHING TO ANYONE WHO CLAIMS MILITARY, OIL RIG OR CONTRACTOR OVERSEAS. IT WILL ALWAYS BE A SCAM
~
👿You are not talking to the person here.. you are talking to a criminal on a laptop
~
👍ALWAYS DO A REVERSE IMAGE SEARCH. THERE IS GOOGLE, TINEYE AND ON A COMPUTER, YANDEX IS BEST. .There are free APPS for phones.
Thank you for this article! I have had these expriences.
ReplyDeleteI have also,I still have the text messages and 2photos that were sent to me.
DeleteHe at the end asked me to send a message to one other person for his personal belongings to be sent to me, when I did the other person ask for money I didn't have.
DeleteANYONE that claims to be Military is never real.
DeleteThey do not do it. Real men do NOT go looking on social media to contact women.
Every time someone says they are Military , in the United States or in a war zone , it is a scammer from
West Africa with love words.
NEVER AGREE TO GO TO Google Chat (HANGOUTS) ,WHATSAPP OR ANY OTHER CHAT APP.
They WILL ask for cards and/ or cash
NEVER SEND
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THIS IS ALL ABOUT MONEY.. this is all about fraud and theft... so please do not accept them
This scammer is saying he loves me so much after talking to him for a few days and asked me to sen d gift card for his son's phone in North Carolina to be repaired so he can communicate with him
ReplyDeleteDid you send him anything? It's sad how many women (and men too) are taken advantage of by these creeps.
DeleteI've seen this profile make comments on public pages, usually towards older women, to be friends with him. After reporting to Facebook they did not take it down.

thank you we will report it.
Deletecontacted by a Nigerian claiming to be William.
DeleteHoly I keep getting these guys replying via Facebook - working women - holy my psychic gut feeling was right. They all say they are in the army all say widowed all say they have 1 child - omg glad I followed my instincts! Turn them in!
ReplyDeleteOnce you talked to one you are marked as one who replies and you will more and more !
DeleteReport and delete is so much the best way to do it.
Change your profile settings from public to friends only. It Will stop.
DeleteAlso only allow Friend Requests to Friends of Friends to stop any stranger sending out to you
DeleteHi all, I get "Friend" invitations on FB almost every day. First, let me tell you: anytime you get an invitation on FB from an unknown man it's likely a Nigerian catfish. Here are dead giveaways: they are all ~50-ish and widowed. They're either doctors or soldiers. They have no personal info and no friends on FB (except for you). They call you "dear" which makes me nauseous. I usually delete them but sometimes I like to play around with them. It's fun to see them try to escape their own lies. For example, this week a "Lieutenant" who's been mentioned on this site wrote me and said he was from Alexandria VA. I told him I lived nearby and asked if he could meet for coffee this weekend. Oops-his story changed--he was in Iraq on a peacekeeping mission. He was going to retire on June 30th so I asked him if I could pick him up at the airport and asked him his flight arrangements. Oops-turns out his plans were sensitive and couldn't be shared. For two days I had fun until I got bored and dropped the bomb on him and sent him a picture of my "other boyfriend" which was in fact a picture of him taken in Nigeria. Today I got another guy who in his haste to rip some victim off put his birthdate as Dec 2006. I told him he was very handsome and I could fall in love with his beautiful blue eyes, but that since he was only 14, I had to let him go so he could meet some nice freshman at his high school. Another important point: these losers all try and get you to get on an app called "hangout" or "groups". Don't do it!! Don't download anything they give you. FB does have some protection against these so occasionally their messages will just disappear without a trace. The other apps have no such protection. Good luck
ReplyDeleteHow very sad that all we do here is wasted.
Delete' I like to play around with them. It's fun ' .. we try for them to get nobody to talk to.. we can't manage that because women love them. We here all the time... 'oh but he was good, he knew just what to say'.... how do you think that happens..?? Practice.. they get practice from women like you. You pointed out his wrong DOB.. he won't do that again.
Flight arrangements.. all can be googled to make him sounds more convincing next. time
ALL PRACTICE AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO KEEP GOING.. the next one they talk to their chat will be refined and the victim may not know.
Oh and the important point... on Hangouts.. I see you have just become a recent visitor to us and have not researched ALL we say on all our platforms.
I'm sorry we have been doing this for years and give ALL of the advice you give in one sentence. If you truly cared about victims you would NOT play with scammers. I'm not impressed with your boasting.
Scammers love women like you. They are also good hackers so one day your playing may get your burnt.
BUT we work towards these scumbags getting silence and nobody to talk to... I wonder why this is so impossible. Research more Mary... your message here shows great innocence and simplicity.
I won't say more... I can't be as honest I want to be with you.
victim here, blocked him in June, Sept and again. Gives me the sob story. I keep blocking. Last time I said "not again". . .. .
ReplyDeletedo not ever speak to them! Silence is the worst thing they want. They will keep coming back and if they get words from you they have assumed they have your attention! Give them nothing ! They hate it the most
DeleteMy mother has given this scammer around 10 thousand. I am still trying to convince her he is not real but he keeps on and on with sob story after sob story. He claims he is William Garrett....Syria mission...shot at and needs help with hospital bill....I tried reasoning with her but she claimed I was supporting Al Queda if I reported him because he is on a secret mission. She was never insane before but now she is off her freaking mind. He uses 2 emails...garrettwilliams.us.army09@gmail.com and wg7552658@gmail.com. She needs to stop but short of going to court...she is 79...I cannot stop her from believing in him.

DeleteLook at the top of this site... I have posted the scam. William Garrett retired in 2016. Please show her and get her to our Facebook page and come to Messages (blue button at the top) and please ask for Ruth. Or I can be emailed on scamhatersunited@gmail.com
SHE HAS TO STOP PAYING AFRICAN CRIMINAL GANGS
Please contact the DMDC Support Center (DSC) at the following numbers: (800)372-7437 or DSN 698-5000
DeletePlease tell your mother that I was just scammed by him. He is a fake and told me the same story about being in Syria. He is good at what he does. Good luck.
DeleteThere is no 'he' there are THEY... hundreds of scammers use Bill Garrett. Are they good ?? or are they just lucky?? A search right at the start would stop every scam from the beginning! Ia m sorry they found you
DeleteI was asked to befriend William garret and I did then when we got talking I realized he was not who he said he was telling me he adored me I thought an army General would not be saying things like that blocked him
ReplyDeletethe problem is you have young and greedy Africans pretending to be mature and hardworking real men. They just can't manage it.. so glad you knew
DeleteI have been talking to a William Garrett and he says that he's not the one that they say that is on Facebook because I he calls me his wife and I never met him that I tell him that straight up front I didn't have any money and I was barely making ends meet he wants to marry me I don't really believe it he's never met me
ReplyDeletethen get out of the scam, because it is a scam and Nigerians don't stop, you have to stop them. But tell me, this is a huge website we have made here... PROOF OF SCAMMERS AND WHAT THEY DO.... we are on FB/.IG Youtube and please tell me why when a Nigerian tells you 'wife' and ;'am real babe' you believe them with no proof.
DeleteSHOULD NOT BE THIS EASY TO SCAM WOMEN... calling you WIFE is an insult.... NOW PLEASE GET OUT OF THE SCAM AND AWAY FROM YOUR NIGERIANS ... AND Give Mr Garrett and his wife some respect. They don't ask to have this happen in their lives.
