About US Soldiers, life and getting married... stories scammers tell.. ALL LIES ALL FAKE.. ALL EASILY PROVED TO BE FAKE.
For a start, soldiers on deployment do not do this. They cannot put their location. They don't set up Facebook profiles and send out hundreds of Friend Requests to strangers they have never met all over the world. It puts them and their families in danger... it's like giving ISIS a list.
Think about it... do you think security would let them have an account, post pictures of themselves in their daily lives and have the place where you are living 'Kabul, Afghanistan' or some other war zone. No... it would be too dangerous. They don't regard themselves as 'Living is Aleppo'. They are serving their country there. They don't advertise it on a social media profile.
The General or Major or even the Captain does not have time to be constantly on Facebook or a dating website contacting women.
Your soldier can't come home to marry a stranger.
Look at this advice page
BECAUSE PART OF THE SCAM IS THAT THEY WILL COME HOME TO MARRY YOU... WHATEVER NATIONALITY YOU ARE... is it that easy?? NO
Look at this
''If you are overseas and marrying a foreign national, it's a different story. There are tons of forms to complete; you must obtain counseling and your commander's permission (which is rarely withheld without very good reason); your spouse must undergo a security background check and pass a medical examination. Finally, the marriage has to be "recognized" by the United States Embassy. The entire process can take several months.
Military personnel get paid twice a month. They are very well paid with pay and allowances and they have access to ALL their money at ALL times wherever in the world they are. They pay for nothing. Food and medical treatment are all free and plentiful.
Some scammers have the story that they are starving.
Conditions are terrible in the camp and they have no food... can you send them some to buy something to eat. I read where the 'Ghana government has refused to supply the US Army with food and they are starving ! ALL FAKE ALL SCAMMER STORIES.
Now.. think about this. If there is no food, how will having any money do anything there. They can't pop down to a corner shop in Kabul or Aleppo? In or out of uniform.
If they can go to Western Union or Moneygram they can get to their own money and they won't be needing to pop to a shop on the way back.
I've even heard them say they need money to go buy some junk food just to keep them from starving. Mmm.... McDonalds Aleppo, Kabul Fried Chicken ! I am sure isn't the best hang out for US Military.. if there was one, which there isn't !
I have heard of scammer soldiers saying the food and conditions are so bad that they have ulcers and need $150 a month for the treatment. LIES. If they need treatment for anything from a war wound to a toothache... it is there for them and of very good quality.
They do not need to pay for their internet. I have seen many getting $200 a month for 'internet' and they say if they have that they can talk to their victim and be online whenever they want. One, they'd be too busy and two, internet access, if it is allowed, it is provided for them. Remember security comes first. If your soldier is on the phone morning, noon and night... think about it... how come they have so much time?
IPHONE 7 isn't the only phone their Commander will allow so will you send one.. FAKE SCAMMER STORY.
THE US ARMY DOES NOT PAY FOR LEAVE OR NEED A WOMAN TO APPLY FOR IT.
Leave.... such a popular SCAM. Victims are asked to pay for a leave permit, just to apply for the leave, then, once that is granted... and of course it always is... you are asked to pay for the leave itself and the flight home.. it can cost thousands of $'s. However, thing is that they promise you your money back once your loved one is home and back on duty again. LIES. I have enclosed a Leave Form that has been received. IT’S FAKE, THERE IS NO SUCH THING.
They give an fake email address. Tell you it is the Captain/Commanding Officer/Admin or something and sometimes even give a script for you to write out as if it was your words and send that. All fake of course... still the same scammer, or his mate.
So... you've emailed and got back your fake money-back guarantee. You'll have to pay your fee...several hundred $'s... by Western Union or Moneygram (still the most common method of paying for everything). AS IF THE US ARMY WOULD BE USING MONEY SHOPS...NO....You get the fake leave form, fill it in and email it back. Soldier boy, of course, gets his leave then you have to pay a few thousand to enable him to leave the 'camp'. Sometimes even pay a few more hundred for the flight.

LIES ALL LIES. ALL Servicemen get R&R .. Rest and Recuperation. You don't pay to apply for leave, you don't pay to get leave and the Military flies them home and back again.
This story is more common than you think. It works for them. Please do not be caught being taken in my this rubbish.
**************************
The US values it service people very highly. They wouldn't put them through this.
A popular SCAMMER FAKE story is that your soldier, of any rank has come across some money belonging to a rich Afghan/Syrian and has stolen it. He needs to get it out as soon as possible and he needs to send it to you.
Several things here.... really !! As if any soldier would do it or even have the opportunity to do it. Where are they going to post this money or treasure of some sort to you?
Or they have their life savings with them and need to get it to you !! Really, dollar notes in a suitcase??
Or they have bought you jewellery and want to send it to you !!! Have high priced items there and want to send them home to you???? LIES
Wrap it all up in a cardboard box and put it in the post? No.. they'll get a 'Diplomat' . (Now.. Africans call anyone who represents someone a Diplomat...the wrong word, but it's still believed). Yours will get stuck in the airport !! The box has been seized by customs and they want $2000 to get it through or else they'll open the box and check the contents... you'd better pay fast. LIES
Please never just believe what is said to you. Have a healthy scepticism and check everything. Google it all.... never just take what is said.
In fact, anyone you have never met, been talking to for 4 days or 4 months and asks you for money for any story.... they are a scammer.
