I got a message from a guy on POF and he was cute (they always are). He sent me a message that he likes my pictures and wanted to get to know me. He said he was in the Army stationed in Afghanistan and that he was retiring in a month. Heard that before. So I messaged him back and asked if he was really in the army or was he yanking my chain. I told him that I heard from several guys on here who claim to be in the army and really aren�t. So I waited for his response. He said why would he have a reason to try lie. So I gave him a chance but still didn�t believe him. So I asked where he grew up in St. Louis. He said he was born in Ohio and moved to St. Louis two years ago. I asked how what was the time difference between Afghanistan and St. Louis. I waited and waited. No answer. I went back to look at his profile and it was gone. Actually he probably blocked me. He didn�t know the time difference obviously because he wasn�t in Afghanistan.
I�m getting really good at spotting them. Here are some hints to look for when you get a message from someone who says they are in the Army:
� As soon as he says he is in the military and on a peace keeping mission, he isn�t really.
� On their profiles you will only see one picture and they only have no siblings.
� When you chat with them their parents are already deceased.
� When they say they are from St. Louis, ask them what high school they went to. As you know this is famous St. Louis question. If they can�t answer that, they aren�t from here and are lying. But sometime they do their homework give you the name of one that is here.
� They say they have one child and a family friend or maid is taking care of them. (Or a nanny).
If you can get a screen shot of their profile so you can post their pictures on the military romance scammers facebook page. I put that link in a previous posting.
To be continued�
