Hi everyone,

I think I got scam too. By a guy name Gary Haggard. He was on a gay site called Adam4Adam his username is mayflower50. He still active on there for now. He seem like a cool guy he contact me last month. I'm a young man of 32 I usually just talk to people I had people ask me for money. I never give them money at all. The funny thing is he never asked me money or to sent anything to him. We were talking like any normal person would talk through email to get to know each other. I thought he was a real solider he sent me face pictures of himself. Some of them are the same pictures you all have posted on this site. His yahoo email is garyhaggard50@hotmail.com We been talking since about March 9th then talked through yahoo email March 12. He never asked me for money he kept saying that he looked forward to meeting me when he return home this summer. That he was leaving the army after I think it was 32 years in the arm services. The other day he contact me again saying he got money in a brief case as a gift for saving a man's wife and daughter from a bomb attack. That he told the man he couldn't take it. But the man told him that he needs to take it. That his commander told him he needed to take money off the base. He said he didn't have anyone he could trust back home he wanted me look after for him. I didn't think I was been scam that I was helping a solider out.

But I did have some red flags go up I asked him if he had any friends or family that could look after it. When he got home to receive. Why have a stranger he only been talking through email for month look after a gift of money for him. At first I did say no I didn't feel comfortable taking care of someone else property that I didn't know outside of the internet. But I didn't think I was getting scam I thought he was who he said he was. I wrote him back said I'd help him and will receive the package for him. I gave him my name, address, email and the only number I did give him was my cell number not my home number. He told me I would be receive email by someone in the courier service. I did get email from a man name Jeffery Woods, who is said to be a Diplomat he would update me on the package that was sent by Sgt Gary Haggard. I wonder if this could be true that someone who I just being talking online really wanted to sent someone he never meet in person yet. To be trusted with money he receive from helping save a man's family to a person he just been talking to for few weeks. I decided to type in Sgt Gary Haggard name and I found some links and found this site it had the same guy pictures. Again he never asked me for money but few days ago he did ask me for my information to sent a package to me. I should have listen to my gut and said no like I did at first. But my heart got the better of me I thought I was helping someone who served our country out. Now wish I didn't give him my information. So what do I do now since he has my full name and address? But I did not give him my home number just my a cell number. But realize anybody can search someone name and home address online. I even google search my parents and found their names and home address and home phone number. I told my mother about my problem. She said you didn't give this person anything like your bank number or anything I said no. Just my name and address and phone number for this so called "package". My mom said there was nothing I could do but wait and see if anyone is using my name and address for something. She said anyone can go online and look up a person name and steal information. I just feel really stupid when someone ask for money that I don't know really well. Especially online I don't give them money and end the talks with them. But I thought I was helping someone who assume to be who he was. Hope you guys don't think I was stupid to think he was a real solider that had my trust to watch something for him? Hope I can get some advice on what to do?

Thanks I don't have any new pictures this man sent me. He sent me pretty much the same pictures you all posted on here. But unlike most of you ladies he did NOT ask for money or any credit card information from me. Because if he did try to do that with me. I'd have said No right off the bat. He didn't give me any phone number. I even asked if he had a facebook he said he had it inactive for right now. I didn't think anything of it since most of my friends sometimes inactivate their facebook page sometimes. We just talked like getting to know each other a bit. He talked about how happy he was about getting back to a normal life and getting to know me in person. Finally leaving the army after over thirty year career in the army. Then few weeks went by after just talking. Then a few days ago he was saying he got a gift of money from a man whom wife and daughter he helped saved in a attack. That when he asked if I could do him a favor keep eye on this money for him he would sent it over. When he came back home he would give me 40% of it. He was going to invest the gold bars into real estate property. I told him I didn't want his money. He made me believe he was this man. I thought will he not asking for money from me. He just wants me to watch over a package for him. Like a fool I did go against my better judgment not listen to my voice and gut feeling the first time around. I give him my name, address, and number to receive a package of money. Like I said in my first post. After looking at this site seeing I got scam into believing I was being a good guy and "helping" to look after the package of money for him. I thought to sent this diplomat a message back and saying Sorry change my mind decided not to offer my help in receiving the package. I said I don't know for sure if Sgt Gary Haggard is scamming me or not. But please don't sent this package to my house. I also sent the guy a email back and he reply back through the email I got this after I spoke to him again on the profile site. Here are some of the message he sent me after I decided to change my mind about the package being delivered.

Hi did you get my last yahoo message ?

mayflower50
(2 hrs ago)
Yes i got it and why must you think i'm scamming you?if you can't receive it why talk to me that way?

bluej007
(1 hr ago)
Sorry, I didn't think you were scamming me. But was trying to not think that way. But after I gave you my information I still had those doubts. Since I don't know you yet in person. I wanted to be a good person and help you out. Why not close friends who you can trust? You must have some friends. I have two best friends who I'd give the money too for safe keeping if I was in your situation. Not to a guy I just meet on a "dating site."

mayflower50
(1 hr ago)
Never mind,you aren't wealth my time...Bye!


After his last message to me using his username mayflower50 you can tell he was mad. Maybe because he been figure out too many times? I did block him afterwards so don't know if I should warn the people at Adam4Adam about this or not. If he mainly target the ladies on dating sites. Why is he on gay dating sites for. Targeting gay men?

Here is his last yahoo email he sent me... this was after the adam4adam emails before I block him on that site.

"If you said you don't want to receive it,i understand but i don't like what you told the diplomat if i'm scamming you.What am i scamming me you of?How much do you have that i'll scam you of it?I think you don't wealth my time.Bye and don't bother to respond to my email."

So, should I be worried he has my name, address and cell phone number. I didn't give him my phone number I never give anybody my home phone number. Expect my doctors. But as my mother said there nothing I can do. She even said that anyone can just type your first and last name in and find your mailing information. She said as long as I only gave him my name and address and nothing else like my bank information or credit card information. I should be OK but wait and see what happens. I'm not that stupid but I feel dumb to believe this so called "Gary Haggard"

:thinking: He is on facebook trying to talk to me.. I'm questioning him.. lmaoo he said his first name is haggard from Arizona but in Iraq and will be back in two months. Same pictures. He asked if I'm single yep and I'm a lesbian and no I'm not changing who I am.. He is a trip, because I know he is fake but it's fun responding and getting more lies when I know he is full of it. He can't even type English correctly.

Please don't question scammers too much because it is not good for the victims. They only educate themselves by any unnecessary conversations. The most important is to get their email address , phone number, SKYPE ID , money requests if any and then after reporting BLOCK and IGNORE. Please remember they are cyber criminals and hackers.
