It's a scam. Delete, block, and report.

Well that explains a lot...I lose more email buddies that way

Well dearest lovely sweetheart, if you just give me your bank account number, I'll deposit your Nigerian lottery winnings and we can be email BFFs forevers.

not lately op ... but someone that said they where in the arm forces and then proceeded to tell me if i could take care of their mother and child and when i got there ... we would meet and they would reward me ... this was a man I think ... at first I fell for his sweet lines enough to give him my chat place... but that's when it all started ... so yea... scammers male and females and who the he** knows who else ... but not this site ... another...

military men kept bugging me as well. three tried to scam me but I didn't fall for it. it was nothing but sweet talk until money came into he equation. its so sad people have to do this to others.

I can not speak for other countries Armed Forces but in the United States Single Military Members are required to have a care giver duly appointed with a Power of Attorney to act for dependent parents or children and if they do not have one will be separated from the service under hardship discharge BEFORE deployment.

So there is no reason for someone saying they need to send someone into this country. Especially since military bases here have day care centers, licensed on post day care homes, foster parent services, and often DOD schools have before/after school programs. With dependent wives and retiree's eager to work part time to supplement low rank pay it is not difficult at all to get sitters.

Also all USA military bases have Exceptional Family Member Program Professional and highly knowledgeable Co-coordinators to deal with emergencies or ongoing programs related to special needs family members that every military member is brief about entering the service, repeatedly with each deployment, and regularly in Unit education and personal counseling through Chain of Command. .

ALSO don't let Scammers pretending to be USA military fool you into giving them money for phone calls to loved ones. Why because USO.org provides FREE Operation Phone Home prepaid cards at a world wide network (including front line troop locations) world wide.

I do believe that duplicate programs are available in other major countries as is emergency message relays through the world wide Red Cross.

Keep in mind it is NOT difficult to get pictures or uniforms and pretend to be military but if they don't have a military ID that they are reqired to show you if you ask to see it.

HOWEVER it is a court martial offense which can mean hard core prison time to defraud a civilian anywhere and it is the last thing a real soldier wants to do.
