I think this might be another scammer,

He pretends to be an army man

[email protected]

Appalling spelling but here's the emails:

I'm set to send the money but I need to clarify an issue at hand. The agent needs upfront payment to register the pick up, so I will add £380 to the payment. You'll help send £300 to the agent via western union transfer today and use £30 for western union charges as I'm unable to send it at this time. I will send £1,580 to the PayPal now and message you once it's done. i would have done this myself but the company only accept western union and i can only pay through paypal for now, i have decided to add the money with believe that you will not betray my trust in you because i know i am taking a big risk by doing this. get back to me as soon you get this mail so that we can complete the transaction today.
thanks.

When I said no and told hime i would expose him as a scammer I got this reply:

how do you mean , it seems you don't know who i am , if you continue with the manner you talk to me , i will get repot to our HQ with the details of your home address and you will be charge for assault with prove of your text messages . you are not willing to help then lets forget it but don't ever threaten my dignity.

Unfortunately I mistakenly gave him my address in an earlier email but I thought I should report it on this page. Oh and any real army out there should realise he is trying to pass himself off as John stone a D day hero:

Welcome to Scamwarners Doc P,

You are correct it is a scam. There is no mover or pick up agent. The payment will be fake. The scammer wants to steal your money by having you send money via Western Union.

Please contacta moferatorstor if you have a question or information about this post.



Please do not tell the scammer he is posted here.
