SCAM WARNING: Fake US Soldiers Conning Women Online

The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID) warns that women in the U.S. and around the world are being scammed by persons pretending to be U.S. soldiers, whose promises of true love only “end up breaking hearts and bank accounts.”

According to CID, the pretend heroes sink so low as to be using the names, ranks and even pictures of actual U.S. soldiers - some killed in action -- to target women 30 to 55 years old on social media and dating web sites.

the scams typically employ romantically worded requests for money to help the fake “deployed soldier” buy special laptop computers, international telephones, military leave papers, and transportation fees needed to keep the “relationship” going.

People really should know by now that you can't trust everything on the internet. Especially when people are trolling for money.

Nothing ever changes does it? When I was doing the pen pal romance thing some 30 years ago I encountered a few scammers. Fortunately they were easy to spot.
