American military not only does not need money for a nanny, but if their families are not taken care of, they will not deploy. Additionally, they will not contact you while they are deployed. Both of those are blatant signs of scams. It sounds like figured this out before being scammed, but for future reference, they will not be interested in women in parts of the world where we do not have permanent duty stations. They will never ask for money. If they tell you they are a Ranger, SEAL, sniper, Special Forces, or anything else that sounds elite, odds are they are not. If they can't tell you their rank or MOS, they are fake. Keep in mind, however, that some scammers do their homework, but the heart of the scam doesn't change. Never send money to anyone.

Hi, I signed up here on mingle last January 2015 and unfortunately my first chat mate here was a "soldier" as what he claims he is. We chatted for more than 3 weeks straight everyday and talked on messenger too everyday. I fell in love with him because he is so sweet and very romantic. Any woman will surely fall in love with him for sure. With the photos he sent and the messages he sent thru email is so heart warming. Then 1 day, he asked me for help, If I can send him money because he said that his bank account was hacked and he cant get money from the bank until he settle it personally in Maryland. That rings a bell in my mind because I know that anyone who is in the service of the US Govt is given the priority whenever they are deployed and have problems especially if they are in need of food and assistance. I asked him how could that happen that you lacked foods and necessities in the camp? he said that he's been experiencing that since he arrived in Africa last July 2014. There, I started to re read all his emails and messages and saw some instances that his emails and his messages in messenger doesn't jive at all. I asked him more questions from our previous conversations and he failed to give me the answers he previously given to me. At that instant, I stop communicating with him. Right now I am recuperating with my heartache. Hoping that time will heal the wound I have right now. Hope that this story of mine will somehow enlighten the minds of those who are like me that gets easily swayed by sweet words and sweet tongue of those who are just here to trick women and even men for that matter.


Sorry to hear that kabayan. I heared worst stories than yours...
The scammers are not only militay men, they are engineers, self employed, contractors, some specifically says marine engineers. Be careful if they call you dear in first few meetings, they have new modus lately, to send flowers wherever you are and delivered by a limo. They like to target women with profiles "seeking marriage" cos they think they are vulnerable and desperate. Two of the scammers here was using a US General's photo. Thanks to google image !


Thank you for the update kabayan. Yeah I learned a lot from the experience. LOL.. And yes, thanks to googl image ... flowerforyou :smile:

A real and independant man would never ask for money from a lady. Even if he is real, he is weak and cannot survive. So ladies never talk to weak men who cannot even make a few dollars to survive in this world how can he protect you in the future.


Thanks for the insights. :smile:

Yeah, so true. Thank You. :smile: flowerforyou

They steal pictures, generally of white, affluent looking males and sexy young females.
The male scammers pretend to be financially well off and usually widowed with children (to inspire a woman's compassion and empathy). Female scammers are usually young, sexy and needy.

MAYBE I AM TOO MUCH A SKEPTIC BUT.........HAS ANYONE LOOKED AT HER PROFILEnoway


why, what is wrong with my profile?



Only one photo, opening line bad English, very light profile with not much in it, all your right and your choice but you do not have enough to make me think you are real. Do not even see anything that tells me where you are, but of course I am not a world traveler and a double named place tells me nothing. I am very skeptical as there are to many really good profiles to take a chance on one that short. Just me, I spend a lot of time on mine, and question when other people do not make what "I" think is a good effort. Now you have been putting a lot into this forum and that has change my mind quite a bit, and now figure you are probably real.....if that helps. When I fist posted this you only had a couple of posts on here. A good profile with lots of real picture and/or a good posting history is what brings someone to life to me. Good Luck!

For starter Sir, its your own opinion. If you find my profile not substantive enough then, I cant do anything about it. And it is my prerogative too on what to put on my profile because IT IS my profile. (With what I have experienced, If you really wanna know me more then I can provide you everything you need to know that I AM for real "IF and ONLY IF" you can prove to me that your are as real as you claim you are. :wink:

2. "opening line bad English" - if you find it bad English, then I don't know what is your standard for good English sir, and I am not born with English as my primary language spoken at home or at school.

3. My location is written there Sir, if you google it, for sure you will know where on earth I am right now :wink:

4. "A good profile with lots of real pictures" how can you tell if the "REAL" pictures you say is really real? Anyone and everyone can copy and saved images to their computers and post it wherever they like to post it.

5. And I dont know why it is a big deal for you Sir, if I am real or not? As what you have said, there are more substantive profile than mine. So why bother with my profile. LOL..


:smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

Hope you have a good day Sir. and Thank you for the time you spent in my profile.

When I see someone talking of scams and scammers, the first thing I do is view their profile!
Yours simple looked a little thin to be real and serious, I would not look any further with one so short. Some are serious and let people know what they want and some are short not giving much. It really does not mean anything, as we have nothing in common anyway.

I wasn't chastising you - just some friendly advice. There's no need to be so defensive. My profile is short and sweet. I'll get to know people by reading the forums. I have a genuine reason for not putting my picture up. I think the whole picture thing is over-rated anyway.
